Vote Hext Tuesday

Millions of American citizens will f protect their rights and their country by going to the polls and voting for the candidates of their choice next Tuesday. Republican, Democrat or Independent — each person gets one ballot and one vote for the men and women of his choice. It’s a busy election year with up to five ballots to consider —national, state, county, the pari-mutuel referendum and in some cases, school board ballots.

100 Years Ago-1868

One hundred years ago it was 1868 and the U. S. House of Representatives began impeachment proceedings against Andrew Johnson. The outcome of the proceedings which were presided over in the U. S. Senate by Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, were held from March 13 thru May 26 were 35 for conviction, 19 for acquittal and failed because of the lack of a two-thirds majority. Only one vote more was needed for conviction, however, because of the lack of the majority Johnson was acquitted.

Women Driving Alone

Each report on crime released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation includes statistics showing an increase in the number of assaults on women. These reports do not indicate what percentage of these assaults involve women who are driving alone at night, but the problem is one which troubles women drivers throughout the nation. It is impractical for anyone to expect all women to refrain from any night driving unless accompanied by a companion, nor is there any insurance against breakdown on lightly traveled roads. The Mississippi Automobile Dealers Association has taken cognizance of this problem and compiled a list of protective measures which can be followed to reduce the danger. The first consideration should be the vehicle. Keep it in the best possible mechanical condition; be sure the gas tank is full; make sure all doors lock properly. Avoid bad neighborhoods and travel on well-lighted streets where possible, even if it means extra driving

If the car stalls and won’t start, stay put. You’ll be safer in a locked car until trustworthy help arrives. If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a safe place. In an emergency, you can drive on a flat for as many as 15 miles, if you keep a slow speed. If someone unknown to you stops, tell them through closed windows that the police are on their way, and that you’ll be patient and wait for them. If a car b’ocks your path, lean on the horn. If followed, drive to the nearest police, fire or gas station.. Don’t go directly home, even if home is close by. And if all else fails and you find yourself in trouble, don’t panic. Just scream your head off. Make it really loud. Finally, carry a flashlight, so that you can signal passing cars. Light is a great protector. — Hoosier Democrat

It is unlawful to do anything that changes the shoreline of a lake without a permit from the Department of Natural Resources. If a housing program on a lake provides for five or more lots, and changes the shoreline, approval of proposed sewage facilities must be obtained from the state board of health and or the stream pollution control board before a permit can be issued by the Department of Natural Resources. The law prohibits filling or depositing any substance in a lake without a permit. You may not dig a ditch within one-half mile of a lake making the bottom of the ditch lower than the lake unless a permit is first obtained. If you take any of the actions I have mentioned without obtaining the necessary permit from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the courts may order the property restored to its natural state thus causing you great expense and inconvenience.

THERE HAS BEEN a rich buildup of Hoosier interest and pride in the triumphant, 11-day aloft Apollo 7 three man space craft flight. We had our exultation and then tears in the proud achievement of Hoosier bom Virgil I. (Gus) Grissom, of Mitchell. With two companions, he perished in a space craft fire. Purdue university dedicated an engineering building to Grissom, first man to make two flights in space in Gemini and Mercury programs. Grissom was a Purdue alumni in mechanical engineering, class of 1950. His two sons, Scott and Mark, were granted when time comes two full scholarships at Purdue. Another building was named for Roger B. Chaffee, 1957 Purdue graduate and scholarshios established for his two children, Shervl and Stephen. Chaffee also perished in the fire with Grissom in forwarding our space program. THIRTY-FIVE thousand peonle attended the renaming of Bunker Hill airport of the strategic defense as Grissom field. It is one of only two fields in the USA for the supersonic B-58 bombers. Awake at 6:30 a.m. watching T.V. in Riverview hospital, Noblesville. when Apollo 7 was launched, was Congressman Richard L.

Less than 11 years ago, in January, 1958, American scientists put aloft their first space satellite, Explorer I. Its payload was less than 100 pounds, a package of instruments. Apollo 7 load w ; th three astronaut crew weighed 13,500 pounds. Nearby the launching pad was the Saturn 5 rockri designed to launch the Aooiln 8 on its flight to the moonstanding 464 feet tall. It will develop 7,500 pounds of thrust. The Anollo - Saturn Satellite team is the ultimate in moon vehicle. I HAD AN EXPERIENCE that I hope all readers will duplicate. It was to visit NASA at Caoe Kennedy. We had science guides and what impressed me most was the enormity of the whole space program equipment. We have spent $42% billion dollars on scientific exploration of the world beyond our earth. Our space program and its findings have changed our world by offering a richer life for all of us. We could afford the expenditure. The blessings that come from this great program of space into which we have been forced in a changing world, holds measureless promise for the future. IT IS MY personal opinion that NASA and Congress have failed badly by not exploiting and educating the public to the scores of developments that benefit mankind that have accured from our - space spending. Instead of that constructive view, television and communication media, have saturated the picture with the trip to the moon angle. We can expect little in way of

Politics ■ 1968 Meet Your Candidates

Senate majority leader MIKE MANSFIELD, the leading Congressional proponet of lowering the voting age, wired “Look” magazine objecting’ to “any implication” in a recent article that cosponsors of MANSFIELD’S votingage proposal were responsible for its failure to achieve approval. The article suggests that Indiana senator BIRCH BAYH was among those responsible for the failure of the lowered voting age. A copy of MANSFIELD’S wire was sent to BAYH with an accompanying wire addressed to the Indiana Senator. In it, MANSFIELD said, “If anyone was interested m securing adoption of the 18-year-old vote and pushed it along with me, it was BIRCH BAYH.” ♦ ♦ * Rep. CHARLES A. HALLECK, (R) IND., gave his “unqualified” endorsement to WILL ER WIN, candidate for the U. S. House of Representatives from the Third District. “Any report, rumor or implication that I support anyone else for the seat is completely unfounded,” HALLECK said. ♦ ♦ • Indiana Senator BIRCH BAYH told workers at an Indianapolis plant that in the past two years, he has voted to cut government authorizations and appropriations by more than $6 billion. He said not all his efforts had been successful, but “enough have been to start toward more judicious federal spending based on the establishment of national priorities.” ♦ * ♦ Governor RONALD REAGAN at a private reception at the M. R. Falcon hall in South Bend last Thursday afternoon endorsed the candidacy of State Senator WILL ERWIN for the 3d district congressional seat. “DICK NIXON is going to need his help to turn out our country in the right direction. He needs WILL ERWIN as so do you.” ♦ • ♦ “The American farmer today, as too often in the past, is not getting his fair share of the nation’s current prosperity,” Congress JOHN BRADEMAS (D) Ind., "said at a Democratic rally in Plymouth. The South Bend Democrat said that “the number one farm problem today is low farm prices.” ♦ * * L. KEITH BULEN, Indiana’s Republican National committeeman and Marion county Republican chairman, today predicted an “over-whelming NIXON win in Indiana, based on the latest available information.” BULEN also predicted that “The entire state ticket, including WHITCOMB and

RUCKELSHAUS will be victorious.” • * * “Today’s architect has the unprecedented challenge of helping to rebuild America’s cities into communities that reflect peace and inspiration,” MARVELLA BAYH, wife of Indiana Senator BIRCH BAYH, told a meeting of architects last week. On the subject of crime—which she termed “the number one domestic issue of our day.” MRS. BAYH described her husband’s efforts as a member of the Senate judiciary committee in helping to write sections of the crime and safe streets act of 1968, which was passed by Congress and signed into law earlier this year by the President. • * « TV personality JAMES DRURY of “The Virginian” spent Saturday afternoon campaigning for WILL tJIWIN in his bid for congress. ♦ ♦ * Senator BIRCH BAYH proposed the creation of a Southeast Asia Cooperative Peace Force to “supervise and maintain a Viet Nam peace when peace is achieved, and to help rebuild that war-tom nation.” BAYH said, “There can be no question that the number-one of this nation is to bring the Viet Nam struggle to an honorable conclusion at the earliest possible date, do it with a minimum of additional bloodshed and insure that there will be no more Viet Nams.” ♦ ♦ ♦ Secretary of State EDGAR D. WHITCOMB, Republican candidate for governor, said last week he believed the Indiana AntiCrime Conference would consider proposals calling for a life term for persons convicted of using firearms in the commission of a felony. * * * Indiana Senator BIRCH BAYH said that “Freedom—the freedom to speak, to assemble and to dissent—is the weapon with which the United States will change the world”. BAYH said that nations like “Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and even the Soviet Union itself are today in stages of change — mighty change—because the people in these countries are demanding the right to dissent. We must make it a cardinal principle of our foreign policy in the future never to confuse the nature of a foreign government with the nature of the people who live under that government.” * » ♦ Kosciusko county prosecutor ALLAN A. RASOR recently joined 50 other Republican county prosecutors in Indiana endorsing WILLIAM RUCKELSHAUS for United States Senator.

mining, or gold from the surface of the moon, but the idea of going to the moon captivates the minds of the public. In this limited space I can touch on but a saw benefits derived from our space spending, in addition to the military benefits that made it imperative. New methods, new materials, new processes already are in daily use, derived from space program. APOLLO 7, captained by Astronaut Wally, Schirra and his two companions, was able to track typhoon Gladys for the weatherman. Our satellites have warned weathermen of approaching typhoons and violent storms and enabled savings of millions of dollars in damages and lives. ’ We witnessed the Olympic games world wide, the invasion of Czechoslovakia and the Viet Nam war by satellite carried television. A great new industry made the two million parts used in Apollo 7. New chemicals, plastic materials, products and processes enrich our lives. IT WOULD TAKE many volumes to just list the advances in medicine that have come from our program of building gpace vehicles. Mathematics and physics have been changed. Vast plants are in existence or in progress, to supply power for industry as a result of our space and atom exploration. Fresh water is obtained from salty ocean water. Our space spending has produced a richer life with unlimited horizons for generations yet unborn.
