Have you seen the new improvement at the library? Look at the entrance to the children's department if you haven't already. We have a feeling it's another of librarian Dorothea <Mrs. Charles) Kerlin's pet projects. • • • If the flu bug hasn't caught up with you yet you had best go south or something 'cause the old bug is out to get everyone this year. Seems like everyone has had the flu or a bad cold within the last couple weeks. Few’have escaped and they have spent their time nursing those who haven't. • • • We found out how many people read this column after failing to explain a sentence last week on the age of our town. We’ printed the following: "Speaking of years and dates, do you know Milford will be 100 years old in 1980?" That's not correct and then it is too correct! Confusing! The town of Milford was laid out in April of 1836. therefore making it a much older town than we stated last w-eek. Tl»e town, however, was not incorporated until the year 1880. thus making it officially 90 years old at the present time or 10 years away from it's centennial. We do thank everyone who cajled and talked to us about the dale and do hope you now understand why Milford will be 100 years old in 1980! LAKELAND LOCAL Mr. and Mrs. H. D. McClintic of Portage, Mich., spent Sunday with Mrs. Lydia Deardorff and daughter Ida at Syracuse. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Harting and children of Syracuse were recent visitors in the home of Mrs. Lois Harper at Cromwell.

No Special Session Os

Legislature: By FRANK WHITE And DON WHITE THE GOVERNOR called a press conference at 6 p.m. on a zero, snow bound night to announce there would be no special legislative session. How to get important information in depth to the people “bugs” every governor and public office holder. State government is the biggest employer in the state and spends the biggest part of the tax dollar. This thing Os getting the news to the people is a dilemma of inconsistencies. There are an estimated 5V< million Hoosiers. The combined paid circulation of 305 Indiana newspapers, not counting the free distribution, is 3,349,589 copies. A newspaper is printed for every two men, women and children in the state. The airwaves are saturated by radio and television. Yet there is no subject upon which the average Hoosier is uninformed or misinformed than government. Whether we were to have a special session was a Donnybrook of political battle. A three judge federal panel, all Democrats, dealt the G.O.P. a hard blow by invoking a reapportionment plan. Twenty-eight Republican senators, for instance have to run again now, when they were elected for two more years. The news media gathered for a quickie notice press conference to hear the Governor give his decision on one of the thorniest questions yet. There was a small jungle of Kleig lights, television cameras, lead wires to microphones, hastily set up in the governor's office. Gov. Whitcomb in dark suit, looked sharp, and even relaxed after the ordeal of whether’we would have a special session to try to develop a better reapportionment plan than that of the Federal. We listened in on the news broadcasts as the air media “fell over themselves" to be first in spreading the news—“no legislature.” We have to admit the news, beyond a spot news flash, was fragmented. The Governor’s announcement covering one page of copy, and he read it firmly covered the subject well. The matter was so important that we think his well balanced announcement is worth giving here in full. Whitcomb said: “After diligent consideration of all factors, I have decided against calling a special session of the legislature. There is sound legal authority for my decision. Article 4, Section 9 of the Indiana Constitution, states: ‘lf, in the opinion of the Governor, the public welfare shall require it, he may, at any time, by proclamation, call a special session.’ There is ample reason that such a session would not be in the interest of the citizens of Indiana. ■ After consultation with leaders in government, both past and present, there is a strong belief that neither the plan drawn up by the Federal Court, nor the map conceived by a legislative committee, is constitutionally acceptable. Added to this is the fact that any apportionment drawn now will be based on figures ten years out of date and which, therefore, would make nonsense of the effort to achieve conformity with the one-man-one-vote doctrine. The legislature will be meeting early next year and will have available new census figures on which the state may be apportioned on an accurate basis. It is regrettable that the U.S. Supreme Court has not seen fit to give Indiana prompt reply. This administration will continue to seek an appeal of the Federal order in that high court. In addition, there has been a number of demands that such a special session should become involved in matters other than apportionment. If this occurred, the citizens of Indiana could well be called upon to pay more state spending

Whitcomb through increased taxes. I feel my duties to the taxpayers of Indiana could well be called upon to pay more state spending through increased taxes. For that reason, there will be no special session.” End of quote. We do not pretend to know why the press conference announcement was delayed to 6 p.m. on a snowy night. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED — Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Huber of r 2 Syracuse announce the engagement of their daughter, Cinda Lou, to Ronajd Craman Douglas, son of Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Douglas of Fort Wayne.
