Masons Observing 150th Year...

Friday, Jan. 12, will be a memorable and newsworthy day in the long and honorable history of Freemasonry in the state of Indiana. It was on that exact date 150 tears ago (January 12, 1818) that the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Indiana was founded, at Madison. And to appropriately commemorate such an historic milestone, special events and activities will take place at Madison on Friday.

50 Years Ago —l9lß Fifty years ago it was 1918 and it was the final year of the first World War. On January *8 of that £ear President Woodrow Wilson delivered his “Fourteen Points for Peace” speech before Congress. It was in 1918 that Knute Rockne was named head football coach at the University of Notre Dame—that was the start of something great. The first regular air mail service began on August 12 between Washington, D. C., and New York City. Experimental air mail service had been tested earlier in the year.

Carmichael Should Be Prosecuted

WASHINGTON, D. C. — It seems to me that statements made by Stokely Carmichael in a public address in France recently must be considered to .be abominable in their conception and so violently inflammatory in their content as to warrant an immediate investigation to determine if they are in violation of federal statutes pertaining to internal security and criminal conduct. I have requested. the Department of Justice to begin such an investigation and, if such violations are found, to place Mr. Carmichael under arrest the moment he returns tb the United States. Rights attendant to American citizenship are broad. These rights are invaluable and must not be taken lightly. But even the sacred! right of free - speech is not unlimited. Mr. Justice Holmes made this clear long ago when he pointed out in a landmark case that to cry fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire goes beyond the right of free speech. When a , citizen of this country violates our laws, he ftiust be punished according to the law. I want to make it abundantly clear that my action should not be misunderstood as an effort to suppress or discourage dissent on the question of Viet Nam. I have said many times, and I repeat again today, that responsible dissent on every and any issue confronting the United States is the very bedrock upon which this great nation was built. But I do not consider as responsible dissent a call to murder and kill American soldiers serving in Viet Nam. I do not consider as responsible dissent veiled threats against the person of the President of the United States because Ho Chi Minh may be losing his war of aggression in Viet Nam. I do not consider as responsible dissent a call to American Negroes to arm themselves and overthrow the government of the United States by force. The fact that this challenge was uttered from Communist Cuba makes it even more reprehensible. , It seems clear to me that this disciple of hatred and violence has resorted to clearly illegal extremes

in a vain attempt to grasp desperately at the reins of Negro leadership in America. He seems unable to accept the fact that thousands of Americans — whites, Negroes, Orientals, of all faiths and creeds — are fighting side by side in Viet Nam, because they are willing to accept their responsibility as United States citizens. Carmichael seems unable to accept the fact that through the normal — though sometimes slow -<* processes of the American system/ great strides are being made toward the goal of providing an equal opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, creed or religion — and this progress must continue unabated. He seems unable to accept the fact that through the normal processes of the American system, American Negroes who are bom to families which are economically disadvantaged can and have attained positions of political leadership in our major cities through determination, perseverance and hard work — not through burning, bombing, looting and violence. He Seems unable to accept the fact that American Negroes in all walks of life, like all Americans, are part of the very fabric of the American system, and their hopes, their dreams and their aspirations can be communicated to their government in a constructive manner without heeding the Carmichael call to insurrection and violence. Stokely Carmichael is no longer a voice of legitimate Negro protest, if indeed he ever was. His is a voice not qf vigorous dissent, but of violent desecration; not of righteous indignation, 'but of wrathful insurrection; not of truthful dispute, but of treasonous desperation. We must not permit him to con-" tinue unchallenged. I do not seek to Single him out for unusual treatment, nor make of him a martyr. I simply seek to apply the same laws to him as apply to us all. America is a nation of laws, not of vigilantes. . Mr. and Mrs. Dallas and family entertained at Christmas dinner for Mrs. Milo Kitson and Mrs. Helen Overstreet, all of Syracuse.

Beginning last June and continuing until May, 1968 the 549 Masonic Lodges in Indiana have been and will be busily engaged in a year-long statewide celebration of th,e Grand Lodge’s Sesquicentennial (Jubiiee) year. However, the activities at Madison on January 12 will be one of the most memorable days of the entire year. We congratulate the Masons on their 150th birthday.

Songs of the year were “After You’ve Gone’, “Beautiful Ohio”, “Hinky-Dinky Parlez-vous”, “Hindustan”, “Oh! How 1 Hate to Get Up in the Morning”, “K-K-K-Katy”, and “I’m Always ChasingRainbows”. It was the year the Russian capital moved from Petrograd to Moscow and Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republics adopted a constitution. Kaiser Wilhelm II; German emperor, abdicated and fled to Holland on November 9 and the World War I armistice was signed two days later near Compiegne, France.

Rick Albert Enrolled At Purdue University Rick Albert, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Albert of Leesburg, has enrolled in the Purdue eight-week winter course in agriculture. The courses Start on January 3 and are at presenting young men with knowledge which can be put to a very practical use in either farming or farm service areas. Rick has received a scholarship from Lake City Bank to the extent that half of his fees are paid. The courses are offered in two general areas, general agriculture and animal agriculture. Students are able te select a total of nine courses from either area which offers 17 courses to choose from. For Rick, this type of school appeals to him, because he plans to go into farnring with his father. This type of school may appeal to a person who is selling or providing Services to a farmer also. There is still room for more people to enter but time is running out. If anyone is interested in this year’s school which runs from January 3 to February 23 he should contact the extension office, courthouse, Warsaw. More scholarships are available for this school. But to obtain a scholarship you cannot wait until the last minute. Greatest Gas Out Put Last Week: NIPSCo The greatest firm natural gas send-out in Northern Indiana Public Service Company history was recorded in the 24-hour period ending at 12 nOon, Wednesday, Dec. 27, as temperatures dipped below freezing across NIPSCo’s 12,000 square mile service area. Gas distribution rose to approximately 836 million cubic feet for the two NIPSCo systems — Northwest and Fort Wayne — with temperatures averaging 10 degrees for the 24 hours. Thomas R. Howarth, NIPSCo manager of gas operations, said the peak,,was met with flow gas from five regular pipeline suppliers and from gas in underground storage areas at Royal Centre, Ind., and Herscher, 111. He pointed out the last such record — 816 million cubic feet — was set in the period from a noon Tuesday to Wednesday, January 17 and 18, 1967. The Northwest system — Calumet, Gary, Dunes, St. Joseph Valley, Goshen and Monticello Divisions—recorded a new peak for the present cold snap with 721 million cubic feet delivered. The Fort Wayne system’s all-time peak of 118 million cubic feet was* set during a much colder period ending February 24, 1967.

Fading Ambulance Service Complicates Health Problem

By FRANK A. WHITE ADDED TO the problem of too fewdoctors, particularly in rural areas, is the fading ambulance service. With 2,808,000 motor vehicles licensed in Indiana, demand for ambulance service to victims of accidents gets bigger all the time. More and more funeral directors, once the backbone of our statewide ambulance service, want to get out of the business. The Indiana Funeral Directors Association found the average cost of an ambulance run to a funeral director is $24. An equipped ambudance costs at least $13,000. A simple first aid kit is no longer acceptable. Expected are ambulances with resuscitators, fixed oxygen supply systems, air conditioning, and even music for the patient’s comfort. Inflation and the minimum wage law, caught up with the ambulance operations. State police keep a list of available ambulances. In time use of helicopters holds promise. There are not enough .emergency treatment centers. POLIO INCREASE — Complacency and decreased use of vaccine in high risk areas such as city slums give rise to fears of increase in polio cases. There are in the USA today 102 cases of paralytic polio. Indiana has been particularly fortunate as a result of public alertness to use of polio vaccine. This year there have been but three paralytic polio cases reported to the State Board of Health and they are adults living in Columbus. By use of vaccine, polio has as of now been stamped out in Indiana, among children, but it could return. U. S. SENATOR Birch Bayh, Jr., and 10th District Congressman Richard L. Roudebush are demanding Stokely Carmichael, Black Power racist, be prosecuted for advocating overthrow of the U. S. government. Bayh wrote to U. §. Attorney General Ramsey Clark asking for immediate action against Carmichael who has just returned from visiting communist countries. Bayh said: “Statements attributed to Carmichael overseas are “despicable” and “abominable”. He openly advocated defeat of American armed forces and the killing of American troops in Nam. He urged rioting, physical violence and bloodshed among the civilian population at home”. Rodebush said Attorney General Clark reportedly was reluctant to prosecute Carmichael for fear of making him a “martyr”. Roudebush said: “If this be true, the President should remove Attorney General Clark from office for failing to carry out his duties”. Congressman Roudebush charged Clark opposed legislation to crack down on the permitted communists to carry out their infamous march the Pentagon and opposed the FBI using electronic devices to fight crime. ONE OF THE great taxpayer dollar waste in Indiana is, most of the time public schools are locked and unused. This is especially noticeable

in summer. Most of the time the schools are private empires of their janitors. Schools of Flint, Mich., are doing a better job. Public schools are community centers when not in use as classrooms. They are as busy at night, week erids and summer vacation time as when school is in session. BASKETBALL courts are marked for volleyball shuffleboard, paddleball and badminton. A company has made a roller skate that will not hurt gymnasium floors. Football fields are lighted so children may use them at night. Conference rooms are used for bridge, and even Tupperware sales parties. Key men and women 1 of Flint serve on a 54 member board' to see schools are given fullest use and the privilege of their use not abused. CIRCUIT JUDGE John L. Niblack of Marion county, a former newspaperman, dropped a “bomb shell”. He served legal notice that he holds bondsmen responsible for child support payments on the part of “runaway pappies”. ; He said: “I don’t care if these bondsmen want to go a fellow’s bail to get him out of jail, but by golly, if they don’t have him in court on time, then the bond money is forfeited and goes to support the children”. NIBLACK ORDERED a bond company to pay S2OO for child support and attorney fees, when an errant fathei’ failed to show in court.
