A snowmobile, by definition, is classed as a motor vehicle, and as such, must be licensed to operate on the highways of Indiana. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles does not recognize snowmobiles as safe vehicles and. therefore, refuse to license them. Please stay off the roads and berms (berms are part of the highway) with your snowmobiles. Drivers found on the highways will be subject to arrest for no registration plate or for an unsafe vehicle, or both, and could have their snow-mobile impounded or have to get a truck or trailer to transport it home. The violation of driving without a registration plate or an unsafe vehicle is a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is punishable by a maximum fine of SSOO or six months in jail, or both.

Wed., Jan. 7, 1970 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

'Better To Light A Candle': White THERE IS A non-profit organization with a motto ‘“Better light one candle than to curse the darkness.” the Christophers, a word derived from the Greek “Christbearer.” Today’s column is a digest of a Christopher tract entitled “To Help You Solve Problems.” Christophers broadcast over more than 3,200 radio and T.V. stations. They distribute free over one and one fourth million tracts eight times a year. Here is a digest of one entitled “Helping Solve Your Problems." It starts telling how Champion Golfer Jack Nicklaus in a champion match was falling behind tiecause of faulty putting. He watched films taken of a previous day. He immediately recognized “I had been leaning over too far. “Correcting this he won. The point is self analysis. Whether it be a problem in a sporting event, family dispute or public issue, “check on yourself.” Say, “this is my problem." A doctor gave this admonition to persons tempted to side-step difficult situations: “Don’t push your worries behind your back where they can heckle you. . .Bring them out in front of you. line them up and look them over. . .Decide which ones you can do something about and which ones you will have to live with.” At the heart of problem solving are fundamental steps including: 1) Get a clear idea of the problem 2) Search out the roots of the problem and don’t confuse symptoms with causes 3) Keep on the lookout for every potential solution 4)' Examine each possibility until you hit upon the most suitable 5) Decide on the first step to be taken. If you can define a problem you have a fighting chance to solve it. When it is not crystal clear just what the difficulty is. write it out. (Bible reference I Corinthians 9:26). Get all, the facts. What are you doing asked a man of workmen tearing down a wall of his office. “We have orders,” they said. He read the orders and said: “The orders are O.K. but you’re in the Wrong building. “Rushing into action head on without sufficient investigation may be worse than indecision. Overcome your prejudices. A man 24, guilty of taunting an Indianapolis officer, and saying "the police department is full of crooks” appeared before the judge. Instead of putting the man in jail, the judge had him sit beside him 10 days in municipal court, and the man admitted his error. Sweeping generalizations are both risky and harmful. They only block solutions to problems. (Matthew 7:2). Use common sense. A farmer had a 900 pound cow fall into a large well. To lift the animal with a derrick could cause injury. He flooded the well, the cow floated to the top and walked away. ,Don’t oversimplify. Setting fire to a local brewery was one housewife’s way to try to stop her husband drinking. The angry woman told police, “if the brewery bums they don’t make beer, and my husband can’t drink. “Jumping to a conclusion, and impatience only compounds the trouble. See opportunities in your problems. Many of them purify (Mir motives and uncover laten abilities. (2 Corinthians 4:17.) A workman dug into an overseas cable severing thousands of connections. He said: Where I am told to dig, I dig. “Persons carrying out instructions have a right to be told in advance hazards. Think through before giving orders. Be willing to make reasonable adjustments. Keep an open mind, accept reasonable compromise and don’t insist on having • everything your own way. Be pleased when someone offers a bright idea. Get beyond fault

finding. Ask “what can I do.” Don’t hesitate to seek advice. Seek guidance from those competent to give it such as parent, friend, marriage or career counselor, teacher, lawyer, doctor or religious advisor. Reinhold Niebuhr said: “God grant me the patience what I cannot change; the courage to change what can be changed; t and the wisdom to know the difference. Be decisive and make up your mind. Seek and find. (Matthew 77). An anonymous author reminds us of the importance of you: “I am only one, but I am one. I can’t do everything, but I can do something. And what I can do, that I ought to do. And what I ought to do, By God’s grace, I will do.” If you like this kind of reading, and I do, the address is: “Hie Christophers.News Notes 212 E. 48th St. New York City, N. Y. 10017. ASCS Role In Rural Development Discussed The 1970 s will be a decade in. which Americans will become increasingly aware of their surroundings—and the effect total environment has on people. So believes Scott Horn, chairman of the Kosciusko agricultural stabilization and conservation , (ASCS) committee. “The concern for clean water and clean air will grow. As population density • increases, man’s natural yearning for the out-of-doors and contact with nature will intensify. “People will depend more on rural Americans and especially on farmers. They will expect food and fiber to continue to be produced ili abundance. Beyond that, people will look more and more to • rural America to provide both an alternative and a counter-balance to crowded cities and suburbs,” Mr. Horn said. The ASC committee chairman said the challenge is to develop rural areas so that they profitably meet the needs of the future, without losing the quality of rural life. " \ - .ral affairs council within the cabinet has recently been set up by President Nixon to help us progress in rural development,” he pointed out. “But the real move forward must come from our own communities.” During 1970. he said the farmer- • elected ASC county committees will study ways and means for doin£ their full share in rural development locally. ASC committee chairman Horn made the following statement: “We will give particular attention to our agricultural conservation program. In this program, farmers and the public share the cost of investing in conservation measures needed to protect our soil, water, woodland, and wilflife resources on agricultural lands. "No rural development program can move forward unless we take care of these resources. In recent years we have come more and more to recognize the great value to the public from ACP work. In addition to conservation measures which help farmers take better care of their land and w:ater. ACP has included practices to benefit wildlife and to beautify the countryside. “And this year, basic authorization has been given for development of ACP pollution-abatement practices—recognition, that we all need to work for cleaner water and cleaner air..- < “The Administrator of ASCS, Kenneth E. Frick, recently told us we must face the fact that the nation is far behind in the kind of conservation work that we have proved we can accomplish with ACP. ' r . “He said that ACP is going to be judged in teams of how well it meets the nation’s environmental challenge.
