Machine Washable Wool Fabric LXFAYETTE — Wool joins the list of easy care fabrics with its new machine washable finish. The treated wool is easy to ma- ; d ine and dry. and thus takes less time and money for upkeep, says Mrs. Lois Gotwals, extension i clothing specialist at Purdue uni- | versity. , Since care is so much easier, the wool is practical for children's I clothing, tod --- Machine washable wool “pills" ; less than untreated wool, thus looks better longer. Yardage for the home seamstress comes in a wide range of colors. Preshrink washable wool fabric i before cutting it. since it may have been stretched during finishing. I Soak the fabric in lukewarm water ■ for a few hours; do not agitate it. i Choose simple pattern design and j use washable linings and findings. In general, wash treated wool clothing three to five minutes in , warm water, on the slow or gentle ■ cycle. Dry 10-30 minutes at the low setting. Remove garments from the diver immediately and hang them on hangers. Pvt. Dick Scott Visits Parents Recently Dick Scott vvfro is stationed in New Jersey with the U.

The first surveyors of Indiana were the real forerunners of civilization. It was they who entered a wilderness known only to a few traders and Indians to spy out the land and report about it, as well as to run their lines and set boundaries. Early laws regarding surveys unfortunately did not require surveyors to include in their field notes the character of soil, natural features, location of trails, roads, cabins and s’ich that later surveyors included, so they are lost to historians. However, the brief notes and rememberanees of the first surwrors in the wilderness provide us with some interesting bits of information and human interest stories. In the Floyd county area one suivevor told about the prodigious knobs and cliffs which were so high he could see half-way across the state of Kentucky and of such rough, high places that he could hardly get over. And lie mentioned i the burnt-off places, overgrown with millions of briars through which any kind of travel was impossible. Early notes are full of encounters w.th bears, panthers and wildcats and frequently wolf dens are men- : tioned. Nathan L. Squibb, while survey- ■ ing in Gibson county found a den where some 300 rattlesnakes were | killed in one day. In Pike county, surveyor-helpers, George Tate and Thomas Shayfound a couple of panther kittens plaving near their camp. They sneaked up to catch them but mother panther lurking nearby had other ideas and attacked, killing Shay on the spot. Tate, unable to fire , his rifle, used it as a club and j knocked the panther down but she ' was full of fight and attacked him. His priming was knocked out of the pan of his rifle and he fought the panther as best he could. He shoved the muzzle of the rifle down the panther's throat but she wrenched I free and grabbed his arm in her jaws. He finally killed the cat with his hunting knife but by the time he was found by other members of the surveying- party, he was almost i dead from loss of blood. The panther's body was laying over him and the two kittens were nestled up close. Shay’s bloody body was discovered, covered with leaves by the panther’s mate. It was treed and shot The surveyors buried poor (Shay’s body. Tate recovered. David Johnson, another early surveyor, shot and wounded a bear cub and was attacked by its mother. Johnson and the she-bear played a sprinting game around a large tree for some time until the erv-ing ,of the cub attracted the mother i for a time, giving Johnson an I jortunity to reload his gun and kill the nx>t.'.er bear. Ziba Foote, a young surveyor, | just out of Yale-, came west in 1805 j and did some sur/eying with a j classmate. David Sanford. Both were stricken with malarial fever i and Sanford died in the wilderness. Foote rruide his way. alone through unhospitaMe forests to Cincinnati. One night, without a fire | and drenched by dismal rains he j quenched his fever-tiiirst by drinking rainwater from his boots. Plucky roung Foote set off again lin the lower Wabash regions with another sun eyor. William Rector, and while surveying our early lines in that region was drowned in a pond in Gibson county. He had tried jto swim across the pond with a hec/y ctMnpass and other implements fastened to his belt. Th«.\ night, by the shore of that lonely pond, the dead young man was wrapped in bark pulled from a tree and buried in a grave that had been hollowed out with an axe and wooden spade.

SURVEYORS

Years later Ziba’s younger brother, Doctor Winthrop Foote, migrated to Indiana and made a pilgrimage to the pond wiiere Ziba had drowned. He recovered the body and took it to Bedford where he reburied it in a large mausoleum, hewn out of solid rock. There it remains to this day. Ghouls opened this sepulcher a few years back and several people viewed the dusty remains of Ziba Foote and the iron coffin erf his brother. Dr. Winthrope Foote who was buried in the same tomb. Most of the field notes of early surveyors exist in records of the ■ courthouses of Indiana counties to this day. And their errors show up to this day too. particularly on i county roads which run into unex- ; pected little dog-leg turns for no I apparent reason. Where county roads run on section and range lines and the surveyors’ errors resulted in “bad" comers, early road makers simply jogged the roads to keep them on the boundary lines. Next time you run into a couple of right angle turns on an otherwise s straight road, chances are pretty ! good that you are on a very old I road and at a place where the sur- ; vevors’ lines failed to meet precisely!

Partners so Education

There was encouraging news in Indianapolis last week as representatives of 121 major employers in Indiana and adjacent states met with officials of 29 Indiana colleges and universities. Encouraging to untold numbers of our boys and girls, now in high school and junior high, who otherwise would be hardpressed to find their places in our over burdened colleges. It was my Privilage to have been chosen by the National Commission for Cooperative Education to sponsor this pilot seminar for Indiana, and we have high hopes that many § more colleges will be able to include the alternating semester work-study plan in their programs next year. This is how it works: Boys and girls of any income bracket — and by this I mean in- | eluding those of lower incomes who ordinarily would have to forego college — may elect to study on campus for half the year and work in private employment at full pay in jobs related to their courses for j th? other half-year. I This helps the colleges by allowj ing two students for every place in the classrooms. It teips industry by providing willing recruits for hard-to-fill technical and specialized jobs. And the students are helped by full-scale pay earned by themselves. j I have studied cooperative edu-

FROM WASHINGTON A «£PO«T TO TM reOFU OF MXANA HMM «L FtXATOA AUKH IMM Bayh Warns Against Further Cutbacks In Highway Funds

WASHINGTON. D C. — Senator Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) warned today against further Administration cutbacks in tiie federal highway program. The Indiana Senator said a rumored cutback of 12 per cent on the already emasculated highway fund appropriation is “totally unnecessary and would inflict grave damage on the efforts of states to reduce the daily carnage on our highways.’’ Bayh said the iwiored 12 per cent reduct ton, coming on top of the order of last November 23 to cut • highway funds by 17.5 per cent, “would leave many states without the funds they desperately need to continue the federal highfway program. Combined with the ‘freeze’ placed on funds allocated to states in previous years, but as yet unspent, the result will be to i bring our highway program to a grinding halt.” Bayh said he “simply cannot see the logic of a further cutback.” Too much damage has already been done.- Tiiis action, contrary to popular impression, will not provide any additional funds for prosecuti ing the war in Yiet Nam. “Highway funds may not. under the law’, 'be used by the Administration for any otter purpose.” Bayh said. "Furthermore, the President indii cated in his State of the Union Message that the inflationary pressur- : es of early 1966 have been leveling off. This step, therefore, appears to be miscL ected as a remedy for curi rent economic needs and future prospects." Bayh said that Section 209 of the • 1956 Highway Act authorizes the Secretary’ of the Treasury to invest that portton of the Highway Trust Fund that is not required to meet current needs. But, Bayh noted, “this should not be misinterpreted as a mandate to divert highway monies. Nor was it designed to facilitate back-door spending. If we must do some cutting, let’s cut programs of lesser importance — space, aspects of our foreign aid program, and some domestic projects — but let us do it m a straightforward manner for all to see.” Bayh said the result of a further cutback in Indiana funds “would be to strip our state of federal highway funds for the last quarter of the fiscal year — only days after we managed to persuade the

catkin as it has developed at Cincinnati, at Antioch college in Ohio, and at Northeastern university in Boston where 7,600 students are so enrolled. It works. And it has these added dividends: (1) The young men and women are motivated to stand on their own feet, (2) they do not expect or get federal hand-outs, and (31 their emptojers wiiile in college want them for permanent employment. Talk about making responsible young adults out of our school kids, and this is one way to do it. > Already work-study cooperative education in one form or another is a reality at Purdue Engineering, Tri-State college at Angola. Indiana Technical Institute at Fort Wayne, Evansville college and on regional campuses of Indiana university. I have just been informed by the National Commission for Cooperative Education that our Indiana conference has been selected as the model for programs elsewhere in this nation, and will be brought to 20 more states in the next two years. Oregon will be next after i Indiana. Any questions? I certainly would be interested in knowing how the mothers and fathers, of high school students in Indiana feel about this innovation in educational planning.

Bureau of Public Roads to release $8 millton of our fourth quarter funds 'so that Indiana’s highway work could continue without any work stoppages in the third quarter.” “It seems clear to me,” Bayh said, “that a delay now will mean higher costs later, not to mention the delay in providing safer highways wtech result in a sharply reduced ..fatality rate for motorists. This action would, according to estimates. delay the completion of our interstate system by at least two years.” “It makes little sense to me,” Bayh said, “to spend millions for highway safety, as authorized by the 1966 Highway Safety Act. and at the same time, drastically reduce highway construction funds.” A CHILD’S IDEA OF PLAY In today’s affluent society 'one wonders sometimes if we do not give our children too many things and organize their recreation to the | point where it is no longer play. In one community several mothers helped out on a birthday party for an eight-year-old. After an hour or more during which the mothers directed the children through one "tun” game after another, the little feltow for whom the party was Id Mid p’aintively. “When this is al; over, can we play?” It is said that when Nanoleon had a son, at the height of his career, f tae people of Paris gave the baby a I gold cradle. It was symbolic of the luxury to whirii the youngster was bom. One day when he was about three. Napoleon took him along for a review of the troops at the Champ de Mars. The emperor was apprehensive that the boy, held on the I horse with him. might be frightend by the blare of trumpets and the roll of drums. Unseemly, screams could mar a beautiful ceremony. His fears were groundless as the little fellow apparently enjoyed it. When the review was over Napoleon wanted to reward his son for his good behavior and told him he .could have anything he wanted.
