High School Government Leadership Conference
WASHINGTON. D. C. — Indiana Senator Birch Bayh, just returned from a 2%-week Viet Nam tour, announced today that the third Annaul Indiana high school government leadership conference will be conducted next month. Bayh conceived the conference and sponsors it with the sanction of the Indiana High School Principals’ Association. He said the conference would be conducted on Saturday, Feb. 10, at Ben Davis high school, 1300 north Girls School Road, Indianapolis. As in the two previous government leadership conferences, each high school principal in Indiana is
Along Main Street ; — By GEORGIA; BUSTER , No one would believe me last fall when I said the Indians in Miami county said we would have lots of snow this winter. We have had a real winter here, with snow and zero and below zero weather. I have letters from Mrs. Harry B. Funk of Lebanon, Oreg., saying they are having “Banana Belt” weather—one small snow and few nights of frost; Mrs. Donald Mock at Kissimmee, Fla., says, we are having wonderful weather in the 80’s with doors and windows open; also from Florida, from Everett Miners at Oklawaha, a letter says they are enjoying summer temperatures. Friends writing from Maine say they are having 15 below and lots of snow, as do friends at Redwood, N. Y. The street department has been having a work-out again! 'rhe men go to work at 5 and 6 a.m. the days that snow falls. One of them, Emory Guy, just returned from Texas where he had cooked meals out of doors. « • •
Mr. and Mrs. Rolland Wogoman have returned from a vacation trip to Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Fla. This, a tourist attraction, is a jungle with wild fowl and tropical plants bordering dense jungle, trails. * * * A number of years ago, we noticed large roadway signs, “See America First”. I would like to add to that, “See Indiana First”. We have so many beautiful spots in Indiana that most tourists have never visited. “Thar’s Gold in Them Thar Hills”, I heard when I first moved to Brown county. With copper* head, spreading vipers and timber rattlers on the loose, I did not look for gold. & One Sunday afternoon while visiting friends, they told us they had found gold in the creek running past their house. We went out to idbk and did find gold. It was about the size of a grain of salt, no easy task finding it in a creek bed. At one time the early settlers fdiind enough gold there that it was used for plating at a nearby town. I wonder how many of even the local folks have spent much time in the “Hoss Hills”, the Tri-County Game Reserve? The hills and the vegetation are almost like the Florida everglades and it’s a short ride to get to it. I could go on and on about the out-of-the-way places in Hoosierland that few people have ever visited. • • • There are 22 women from Syracuse doing volunteer work in the Goshen hospital. These women give their time to relieve the nurses and to help in the gift shop and do the many extras that help, but are not a part of the hospital nursing staff’s duties. • * * Byron Connolly, the town board president, has taken a lot of kidding lately about the recent meeting that was to have taken place before the board presidents met at Warsaw, on the subject of county civil defense director. Mr. Connolly says he knew nothing of any meeting and says he was at home that night. * • • Kenneth Haney of Milford was in the office to say the books, magazines, puzzles and calendars were well received at the Indiana State Prison on New Year’s day. He is picking up books and magazines now to store until New Year’s, 1969, so in cleaning house if you have any, just phone him. And don’t forget your good used clotbin ■% shoes, furniture, jewelry or anything that will sell is needed for the upcoming BPW rummage sale. If you have anything you want to donate and want it picked up, call any of the club members or me. Looks like we are asking you not to throw away anything, for it can be used by some one.

' MEN AT WORK — These men at work at the Lakeland youth center on Sunday were only part of the nearly 30 persons who turned out for a “work day” to put the finishing touches to the center’s new location in Wawasee Village.
♦ ♦ * Lakeland Youth News By BUD SMITH Work is really progressing fast at the new Youth Center. Last week end members of our adult board, Jaycees and other interested parties got together and did a lot of paneling and painting. On Saturday a fine group from our membership did a great job of preparing the large floor for its coat of sealer. This was a really big job and we certainly appreciated the help. There wifi be a dance after the game this week and it will be the last dance in the old Youth Center. “The Carefrees” will be providing the music for this affair. By the way we have not heard them lately and we are all anxious. Patti Pilcher has taken over the singing chores and we know she will be a delightful addition to the group. We plan to move to the new home Saturday and we will heed a lot of help guys. It may be a little while till our lounge and Snack Bar areas are complete but we can make good use of everything else. Remember you must be a member to use the new Youth Center. The only time non-members are to be allowed is when they come as a personal guest of a member or on dance nights. We need the support of a large membership to help keep our beautiful new home in operation. Believe me kinds, when this is finished it will be hard to match even by the large cities. Since Milford, North Webster and Syracuse will soon be one school, I think we should start getting acquainted. As I have done many times before, I want to invite the fine people from Milford and North Webster to become members. Local Holsteins'Receive Lactation Credits A report of milk production levels attained by dairy cows in area herds has been received from Hol-stein-Friesian Association of America. The actual food production output, under official testing rules, by these local Registered Holsteins is: Uneeda Della Fobes Pet 5178568, a six-year-old, produced 19,430 pounds of milk and 819 pounds of butterfat in 305 days. Uneeda Ormsby Pica Penny 5387295, a five-year-old, had 20,060 pounds of milk and 733 pounds of butterfat in 300 days. Both are owned by Oliver Hibschman and Son, Syracuse. Wlika Prince Ormsby Dora 5309572, a six-year-old, produced 22,700 pounds of milk and 919 pounds of butterfat in 320 days. Ulika Ormsby Invincible Rosy 5938537, a three-year-old, had 17,670 pounds of milk and 759 pounds of butterfat in 354 days. Both are owned by Harold Wilson, Milford.

THE HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A WHITI
TODAY’S COLUMN discusses whether we should stop bombing North Viet Nam, an issue that has divided opinion. Space limits confine presenting only highlights of this serious problem. My flesh and blood have been in both Korean and Viet Nam fighting, and another member of our family is in line to go. I am as eager to stop the war as any who read these paragraphs. This war to stop communists from taking over southeast Asia, with its vast land and population masses and resources, has been most costly. Almost 16,000 Americans have been killed and some 100,000 wounded. It costs S2O billion a year. Five hundred killed were Hoosiers and the end is not in sight. WHETHER TO stop the bombing was reported by newsmen on the trip as a principal item of discussion ‘'-tween the President and the Pope. The subject has had top billing by all communication media, Congressional debate, has resulted in much disunity in the USA and condemnation of our country abroad. Abhorrence of killing has led many to arrive at quick decisions, without considering seriousness of the problem facing the President and the 500,000 fighting men we have in Viet Nam. Many do not read beyond headlines, or read only one viewpoint that they want to believe, before making up their minds. After reading and hearing all I can on the issue, here are some of the facts that have influenced my decision. OUR MEMORIES ARE so short. Dwight D. Eisenhour, who successfully commanded all Allied troops in winning World War H, when running for President, said he would go to Korea and help stop the war. He did just that. Consider what would result were we to agree to stop our bombing and could by some means not yet found, get Hdftoi to the conference table. All of this we have diligently tried, despite accusations to the contrary. Korean Armistice talks started on July 10, 1951, ran through almost 600 meetings, supposedly ended in mid--1953, two full years, but still there is no treaty with communist Korean foes. Under guise of Armistice talks, Korean communist guns killed more than 20,000 Americans and poured one million men into their armed forces. While talking peace, the bloodiest battles of the Korean war were fought.

liam G. Bray, of the House Armed Services Committee, who has traveled widely in Russia and communist countries of Asia, and who has written a book on the subject, quotes Red Chinese leaders. They all advocate using peace feelers as weapons of war. In each of the six “cease fires” we have had seeking negotiation, the Viet Cong has congested every conceivable route, to resupply and augument their some 330.000 men who are killing American soldiers in invasion of South Viet Nam. That is a fact no one can dispute. We knock out a major bridle leading from China to North Viet Nam and with many peasant workers it is replaced by hand by one week later. OUR BEST military minds and the President know, Hanoi seeks world pressure to force us to stoo bombing. Were we to do so, North Viet Nam could get enough troops and supplies south to start a brand new war all over. AH this would be done while they “negotiated” for peace and our planes were grounded; Hanoi can stop bombing by stopping fighting as we do. Our intelligence sources show the mightiest bombing in history of the world is hurting North Viet Nam. Over one million Viet Cong were killed by best available body count, or deserted to South Viet Nam in 1967 alone. The President in his San Antonio address offered to go anyplace, anytime, stop bombing, if there was any clear signal from Hanoi looking to stooping th° war while negotiations went on. The President only asked that Hanoi stop the other half of the war. as we would our half, while negotiations were underway ; Instead, Hanoi, Moscow, and Peiping are resorting to world propaganda trying to force the USA to stop bombing, while they 'oromise not one thing to- < ward negotiations. HANOI ALSO looks for disunity and a Presidential election to win a war that it cannot win militarily against the United States and her Allies. They are wrong, for neither a Democrat nor Republican will sell future world peace to communism. Youth Week Planned At Mt. Tabor A big youth week is planned at the Mount Tabor Church of God, south of Nappanee, to begin this Sunday evening at the 7:30 p.m. worship hour. It will be five big nights called Teenage-Arama. Special urograms of interest to the youth of the area are planned.
