Not Enough Flags Out In Syracuse

Dear Editor: Monday, March 31st, was the national day of mourning for our late President, General of the Armies, “Ike”. Any true American, Christian or human would be hard-pressed to keep from having a lump in his throat when seeing our last surviving fivestar General, Omar Bradley, standing almost alone, at taut attention, giving his comrade a final salute, with his hand very visably aquivcr with emotion. At the same time, members of our armed forces, obviously far too young to remember Ike as the Commander of the greatest military force ever assembled, and many also too young to remember Ike as the peace-time leader of our world’s greatest nation, came to the salute long before and after the requirements of military courtesy. Driving through our northern Indiana countryside on this poignant day was very difficult with

Give Us Less Brademas, More Adair

Dear Editor: It has been noticed The MailJournal has been giving considerable space to our two Senators and to Representative Brademas. Recently, I received a list showing the ratings of all Senators and Congressmen in the Unitcd States. These ratings were compiled by the Americans for Constitutional Action, 20 E street NW, Washington, D. C. A high rating indicates a congressman is upholding his oath of office and is helping preserve our Constitutional republic, a low score indicates the reverse. I looked up the ratings of our

Civic Night In Syracuse A Success The third annual Civic Night in Syracuse, sponsored by the Syracuse Business and Professional Women’s club, held Friday night was a successful event.

every town having massed flags on display and most rural homes displaying a half-mast tribute to this Great Man. Arriving “home” in Syracuse, I was® sickened to see that, other than the post office, fire station and Weatherhead, there were only five flags flowing in tribute in downtown Syracuse, and NONE in the Village — I must believe that there were others I did not see. If you are moved to anger by what I have written, do not take me to task. Stop, think — and then address your apologies to the men of Valley Forge, of Cha-teau-Thierry. the Nurses of Bataan, the men of Normandy Beach, the Bulge, Porkchop Ridge and the Delta — those who have are now giving their lives so that you can be secure enough to insult them by not giving honor to the memory of Dwight David Eisenhower.

men in Washington and found Birch Bayh has a rating of 11, Vance Hartke has a score of 16 and John Brademas 4. It is too bad we send such people to represent us in Washington. Indiana is a good state and we should have suitable men in the Senate. We should be ashamed of ourselves for sending Brademas to represent this district in Congress. Other districts in Indiana are represented by such men as Adair, Bray, Myers, Roudebush and Zion with ratings from 86 to 94. Sincerely, Carl Penn

> REBIRTH OF HOPE AND BEAUTY \7 'x. ■W /• ’• » ? ff/‘ *’ A NEW DAY Easter is the new day, the dawn, the beginning. In our time it is a cherished Christian celebration, commemorating the Resurrection. Historically it can be traced to the ancient Norsemen and their worship of Ostara, the god of spring. They welcomed the flowers and greenery after winter with a festival. The very name Easter derives from the Norseman’s celebration and also the emphasis on new birth of life. It is clear that Easter for a very long time has been man’s season for rejuvenating himself. The troubles and mistakes of the past are put aside. In addition to a rebirth of spirit which, hopefully, we all feel at Easter, it can be a more appropriate time than New Year’s to resolve to do better in the spring and summer ahead so as to reap a productive harvest in the fall. The buying of new clothes and other fineries at Easter, which sometimes is criticized as commercialism. actually is symbolic of the new 7 season as the drabness of winter gives place to the freshness of spring. Man has been doing this for centuries and Mother Nature has been doing it forever. Have a Happy Easter!

It all goes to prove that people really aren’t so bad and so selfish after all. t: $ $ ( Our Town as well as the entire j world was saddened by the death | cf Dwight David Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States. The former Army General and President died Friday after a long illness. 1 He led the allied armies to victory in World War II and became ] a national hero. In 1952 he was elected President, serving from 1953 through 1961. The thought, “Old soldiers 1 never die, they just fade away,” conies to mind. As is the case ' with all American Presidents, Ike will live forever in the hearts of his countrymen. 1 $ * » Speaking of Eisenhower, someone told us that he was related to' the Eisenhcurs who reside near New Paris, so the bossman . thought it worth a telephone call. , The call revealed that the family could be Ike’s eighth or ninth cousin, but there is no positive proof. One member stated that he would be “very proud of it if were actually proven, but so far it hasn’t been.” The spelling of the name is different, however, that doesn’t I prove anything since many people coming from Europe change the spelling of their name after reaching America while others do not. All that has really been proven of the Eisenhowers and the Eisenhours is that both families have Kansas backgrounds. s * * Tonight is the last night for Holy Week services. They are being held in the Christian church at 7:30. Thursday each church in Our Town will observe its own com-

munion while Good Friday services will be held in the Christian church between 1 and 3 p.m. Sunday morning each church will again observe its own Sun * rise service with many of the churches planning a breakfast afterwards. We urge you to attend as many of these services as you can and make church going a habit if you haven’t already done so.
