If you happened into the lofty Milford school gym lately and saw a man on a high scaffold painting the ceiling of the building, you’ll notice the painter is Fritz Kilmer. Old Em Rogers took some neighborhood youngsters to the movies to see “Goldfinger”. Mary and Max Gaushorn returned home Sunday from Louisville. Ky.. where they spent six days at the National Trailer Show. Max is sales manager for Regent Homes, here, and Mary is license branch manager. Speaking of Mary Ganshom. she has license plate No. 1 this year “It’s about time I got something out of this job”, she jokingly told friends. Another one to return home from Florida is bank board chairman Harold Wellman, who spent two weeks in a Miami Beach condimenium with a Michigan City contractor friend. Harold Gray of Syracuse Lake, one of our favorites, is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We didn't know that' until recently. Look for Dorothy McClintic to open a gift shop in the basement of her Syracuse Lake home. Merl Smith of Smith-Walbridge baton camp, loathes those who put a letter "e" at the end of his given name. “That makes it a girl's name”, he scowls. Ask Marise Smith to see her little brown Poodle. His name is Moca. meaning brown. Marise has ideas of raising poodles for profit. •• • % Wd can't escape conversations concerning our editorial efforts to keep the fish hatchery area for a public recreation area. Recently we ran into two Pauls, minutes apart, and they had diametrically different ideas on the subject. The first said we made a rush to judgment and should reconsider our stand. His main thesis was that those interested in keeping the area from contamination were the “movers" among the lakeland people, and that they had the best interest of the area at heart. The other Paul said he long wondered when someone would take up the cudgel to open the lake to the general public, that the lake, tn reality, was public domain. What do you think? • • • The word was “No” this week. 4. No to Jay Peffley’s effort to get

Bayh Launches Effort On Electing President By Direct Popular Vote

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 11 — Senator Birch Bayh (D-Ind. > launched today what he said was going to be “a successful effort” to abolish the Electoral College and substitute direct popular election of the President and Vice President. Bayh introduced today Senate Joint Resolution 2. a proposal providing that the candidate receiving the greatest number of votes in a Presidential election is the winner, provided he receives at least 40 per cent of the total vote cast. If no candidate receives at least 40 per cent of the’ vote, the Bayh proposal provides for a runoff election between the two leading votegetters at a time to be determined by the Congress. Bayh. chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments. started hearings on this issue in the 89th Congress He said he hoped to resume hearings in late January. The Hoosier lawmaker said that one of the principal objections to proposals for direct popular election of the President and Vice Piesident has been that such a plan would hev«r pass Congress or be ratified by the states. “This may have been true at one time”, Bayh said, “but I firmly believe it is no longer tree”. Bayh said he “senses real grassroots support for direct popular election of the President and Vice President. No amendment of this kind can pass Congress without such backing. I think we have it now, and I think we are going to succeed”. Bayh pointed to a poll conducted by Senator Quentin N. Burdick 'D-N.D.> among state legislators. Os about 2,500 responses to the Burdick poll, nearly 60 per cent of the legislators favored direct popular election. “Today”, Bayh said, “for the first time in our history, we have achieved universal suffrage regardless of race, religion or station of life . , . Today, the next logical outgrowth of the persistent and inevitable movement toward the Democratic ideal is the popular election of our national officers—an election in which each person has the right to vote for President without an artificial barrier separating him from the choice of his Chief Executive”. Bayh argued that his proposal does not break with American tradition, but rather is'“a logical, realistic and proper continuation of this nation’s history and tradition —a tradition of continuous expansion of the franchise and equality in voting”.

Bayh said “there simply remains no valid reason for keeping the President and Vice President the only two elected officials in the nation who are not chosen directly by the people”.

WOWO Penny Pitch Collects $22,500 FORT WAYNE - The annual “Penny Pitch” campaign conducted by radio station WOWO prior to Christmas collected approximately two-million. two-hundred-fifty-thou-sand pennies from WOWO listeners, or a total of $22,500. Monies collected are being used to help a family of eleven, the father of whom is seriously ill and unemployed. The family is currently on county welfare rolls and medical expenses for the father have become prohibitive. Seven of the nine children are enrolled in school and were in desperate need of adequate clothing and school supplies The family's home, while adequate shelter. is not sufficient for the large family. Already part of the money has been used to buy Christmas presents for the family, school clothing for the children, and a washer and dryer for the mother. Efforts are currently underway to secure new living quarters for the family as well as a newer automobile. In addition, efforts are underway to reduce the large medical expense debt incurred by the family because of the father’s serious illness. Richard MacDonald, WOWO Editorial Director, in charge of the “Penny Pitch” campaign, said a board of trustees has been established to administer the “Penny Pitch” funds, part of which will be set aside for the future educational needs of the children. MacDonald said be was gratified by the response of WOWO listeners to the campaign and noted that pennies delivered to the station were received in various ways; in tin cans, large canisters, wrapped in scotch tape, in boxes, paper sacks, by check, and by wheerbarrows. “I was especially pleased by the response of the area schools”, MacDonald said, noting that a number of schools conducted a "blanket toss” during half-time ceremonies at their basketball games. Other schools, he said, conducted special fund raising drives for the “Penny Pitch” fund. This “Penny Pitch” campaign was the 16th annual appeal for pennies by WOWO. dating back to 1950.
