Amiben 'Fair Share' Bonus Plan Is Announced By Amchem
Amchem Products. Inc., maker of Amiben soybean herbicide have announced the Amiben “Fair Share” Bonus Plan —a combination earlypurchase and profit-sharing opportunity. The plan offers “free” Amiben for part of the 1971 crop based upon how much a farmer buys and how early he buys it in 1970. According to industry sources, this is the first time a company has offered an early purchase plan structured to benefit the farmer, and the first time that profit sharing has entered into the picture at all. The details of the Amiben “Fair Share” Bonus Plan are contained in a letter from M B. Turner, Amchem s vice president, and this letter has been widely reproduced in company literature describing how farmers may participate in the newly announced bonus plan Excerpts of Turner's letter follow: “Amchem saves money when farmers purchase AMIBEN in the winter and early spring months. We save on storage, we save on transportation, not because transportation is cheaper in these months, but because goods can be transported more efficiently if we can avoid the spring rush. We are willing to pass these savings along to the farmer in the form of "free” AMIBEN for the 1971 crop, and will therefore institute for the first time in 1970 an AMIBEN “Fair Share" Bonus Plan, details of which are explained elsewhere ” "Amchem will go even further in 1970 with AMIBEN “Fair Share" Bonus Plan Think of Phase II of the plan as Profit Sharing, for that is what it is. Before the end of 1970. we will know what profits our sales of AMIBEN have produced for us. A portion of these profits will be returned to the farmer in the form of "free" AMIBEN for the 1971 crop ” Details of the Offer When asked for details, an Amchem spokesman provided the following information: there are two phases to the Amiben “Fair Share” Bonus Plan Phase I is Early Purchase. Every fanner who participates will be awarded points according to a schedule reproduced in company literature. Phase II is Profit Sharing. Points earned as profit sharing will be determined after Amchem knows the profits of their Amiben sales in 1970. These points will be added to those earned by early purchase A fanner must qualify by early purchase to be eligible for profit sharing. Points get the farmer a certificate which will be redeemable in Amiben for the 1971 crop. Here are the steps to take 1) Farmer goes to dealer.

up his order showing scheduled deliveries Only bona fide orders qualify. Farmer requests a duplicate copy of his order. 3) Farmer gets dealer to sign the duplicate order copy, and signs it himself. This is his "proof of purchase." 4> Farmer gets an Amiben ‘‘Fair Share” Bonus Plan coupon from his dealer. 5) Farmer fills out coupon completely, signs it, and gets his dealer to sign it. 6) Farmer mails coupon along with copy of his order to M. B. Turner. Amchem Products, Inc., Ambler. Pa. 19002. How Coupons Are Processed Coupons received by Amchem are carefully checked, then filed according to the date of postmark. In July or August of 1970, if profits on sales of Amiben have been audited, a certificate will be prepared and sent to the farmer in redemption of the coupon Amchem has received. On the certificate will be shown the number of gallons (if Liquid Amiben) or the number of pounds (if Granular Amiben) the fanner is to receive “free" for his 1971 crop. The certificate will be redeemed for Amiben any time before April 1, 1971, when the farmer gives his order to any Amiben dealer. The certificate will be made out in the fanner ’s name and is usable only by him in claiming his “free" Amiben. Any taxes must be borne by the user. Table Os Purchase Allowance If postmark is: 1) February 15, 1970. or before, you earn Bonus of 30 points (per gallon or lb.) 2) February 16/1970 to March 15,1970 incl., you earn Bonus of 20 points (per gallon or lb.) 3) March 16. 1970 to April 15, 1970 incl., you earn Bonus of 10 points (per gallon or lb.) The company emphasizes that the date of postmark on the envelope determines the early purchase bonus the farmer earns. The company spokesman also pointed out that there is no advantage in buying Granular Amiben over Liquid Amiben or Liquid Amiben over Granular Amiben in the Amiben “Fair Share" Bonus Plan. He confirmed that the same formula utilizing the bonus plan system is applied to determine the free Amiben a fanner will receive whether he purchases the Liquid or the Granular Amiben product. Coupons for the Amiben “Fair Share" Bonus Plan are available from most leading agricultural and chemical dealers and also appear in Amchem advertising in farm publications! ’* our ,N A ** c ‘ £Mr '* EGYPTIAN WRiTiMG AS A PICTURC SIGH

Record Crowd Attends —
Lincoln Day Dinner Governor’s Reception
A record crowd turned out at the Lincoln Day dinner held in Warsaw Saturday and a large group also attended the reception held afterwards in another Warsaw restaurant for Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb. Accompanying the Governor at the Reception was State treasurer John K. Snyder, William Salin, Secretary: of State, and State auditor Trudy Etherton. Many other dignitaries in the Republican party were also present, as: State Representatives Thames Mauzy and Arthur Coblentz; Speaker of the House Otis Bowen; Joint State Senator John Augsburger; and ex-Senator Will Erwin, with their wives, were introduced by Republican Chairman Giles Hoffer of Kosciusko county. Third district chairman Jack DuComb was also present. Chairman Hoffer conducted the meeting held following the noon lunch. He recognized the couples who had observed their golden wedding anniversaries and the ones who had been married for one year on Valentines day; He introduced Mayor Paul “Mike” Hodges and his wife. The mayor in turn introduced other city officers, as well as several officers of the Republican party J The meeting started by the presentation of two musical numbers by the Grace College Quartet who were introduced by Director Ogden A saxophonist presented a romantic number and “America.” 1 J Governor’s Speech Governor Whitcomb opened his speech by saying Kosciusko county has a special breed of Republicans. He spoke of President Richard Millhouse Nixon and his fondness for Indiana. On the President s recent visit to Indiana he praised the latter highly for bringing his cabinet to Indianapolis. He agreed with the President it was time to give the government back to the people, and come to Indiana to see what they want. He (The Governor) said it was the first time a president had ever brought the cabinet to the people, that in the past the cabinet was content to stay “on the banks of the Potomac.” The Governor spoke of how he and the four other governors flew with the President in his plane to Chicago and how they toured an SBOO,OOO sewage disposal plant near Chicago and Fields Museum. Each governor was asked to speak on how to control
air and water pollution. Governor Whitcomb was the last to speak and said almost all of his findings were explained in part by one of the previous speakers, so he decided instead to tell them facts about this Hoosier state, Some of these were: that Notre Dame has the largest library in the world; Purdue university is the top agriculture college in the world; that Indiana rates highest in shipping of soy beans and wheat, with no seaport until the present time; Notre Dame is tops in science in the world; the state is one of 8 who produce half the revenue, and this with no seaport; and finished up with telling of Wilbur Wright, pioneer of flying, coming from Henry county, Ind., and of spacemen Grissom (Purdue university alumnus) and Boreman, Notre Dame alumnus) all hailing from this state. He then addressed himself to President Nixon and said with all of these important facts about our state, the latter would know positively he and all other the office, too. were intensely interested in pollution. The governor said he would like nothing better than to be able to swim in the states many lakes again with no fear of pollution. He talked of the work that has been done on state highways and that planned for the near future. He said that in January of 1969 it was said 87 school corporations in the state would close, but none have and most are on a sound financial basis. He gave credit for the last fact to Superintendent of Public Instruction Richard D. Wells. He told of Indiana State Police reorganization, during which there was less increase in Indiana criine than in states of comparable population, and how the administration called a Crime conference before taking office, and of many other accomplishments The Governor said the senior senator of Indiana made a grave mistake when he said the state was in the worst condition ever, and this was before Governor Whitcomb had taken the governor’s seat. The reception held afterwards was hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Thames Mauzy. LAKELAND LOCAL Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Treat of South Bend and Joe Majewski, D. A. Cussock and Mrs. Helen Schmidt. all of Chicago, called on friends at Syracuse on Sunday.

Gordon St-Angelo Qualified For National Post
By FRANK WHITE MEMO TO the Democratic National Committee: Gordon St. Angelo, 42 year old Indiana party chairman is well qualified to fill the vacancy of National Chairman. The 108 member National Committee is faced on March sth with selection of a replacement for Senator Fred Harris, of Oklahoma who resigned as National Chairman. Richard B. Stoner of Columbus is National Committeeman for Indiana. He urged St. Angelo to go for the chairmanship. Stoner said: “St. Angelo would make an excellent National Chairman." Stoner said as Committeeman he would be glad to put St. Angelo’s name before the National Committee. ’ U. S. Senators Vance Hartke and Birch Bayh, Jr., have pledged to seek support for St. Angelo. He has been assured support of the three Indiana Democratic members of Congress. Andrew Jacobs, Jt., of Indianapolis, John Brademas, of South Bend, and Lee Hamilton, of Columbus. St. Angelo has been endorsed by many important party members throughout the nation and his phone has been busy with long distance calls. For instance, the International Retail Clerks Association notified him of its endorsement. However, let no one who reads , these paragraphs fail to know that for the party to select a National Chairman is a “fast ball game.” Here are some obvious facts. , St. Angelo’s organizational ability is no “stranger” |o the National Committee. It has been adopting his ideas for years. For instance, two recent examples are: The Indiana Unity 70 meetings taking the party to the people in local communities. It was renamed “Project 70” on the national level. In 1958 as Dubois County Chairman, St. Angelo organized a series of precinct training programs. He was called to Washington and headed a group called “Advisory Committee on Political Organization to the National Committee." That program set up the first really good workshop program. It was accepted, adopted and presented in 36 states under auspicies of the National Committee. One prominent person said: “They have been taking St. Angelo’s ideas for years, now they can get St. Angelo who is full of ideas." A- Democratic National Chairman wall face a primary problem of erasing an $8.5 million party deficit. St. Angelo does not discount the importance o( fund
raising to pay off the debt. He told us: “When a party is in power, money is not hard to get as when you are out of power. Being out of power with an $8.5 million debt is going to require someone who had ability and experience in major fund raising. I feel my five years experience as State Chairman as well as 10 years of experience prior to that, has given me considerable experience in fund raising.” Speaking of the Republicans broadening the base of contributions, St. Angelo said: “The Republicans have done exactly what we said we intended to do but did not. The ‘Dollars for Democrats’ Idea was what we did for y ears but we did not push it in iht last few years.” St. Angelo continued: “I triink there are $8 million Democrats around the country who would give a $1.25 each. I know the big donors also.” He traveled nation wide in the Humphrey Campaign, acquiring funds and setting up organization. He would emphasize building from the grass roots and rebuilding state organizations. St. Angelo believes the National Chairman should be a good organization man rather than a policy chairman. He said: “We have other wings of the party to take care of policy. We have already established policy makers, including members of Congress and other members. I see need of a ‘nuts and bolts’ National Chairman, building from the grass roots. I would want to build the party to win the 72 convention and 72 election and then get out.” Indiana has had two former* National Chairmen. Paul Butler, of South Bend, deceased and Frank McKinney, of Indianapolis. St. Angelo would be a full time National Chairman • giving all he had to service for the party. As newsmen who have watched St. Angelo over his political career, we hope he becomes the third Hoosier to be Democratic National Chairman. FINED FOR SPEEDING Mrs. Connie K. Gans, Syracuse, paid $24.25 in jp court at Goshen for speeding 61 miles per hour in a 45-mile zone on CR 45, at CR 28 west of Goshen. . Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Fosbrink have returned to their home at Syracuse from a vacation trip spent in Florida.
