Hartke Predicts Raise In Interest Rates WASHINGTON, DC. — Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) today predicted that President Nixon’S new economic program will force up interest rates. In a speech on the Senate floor, Hartke said that the President’s policies would cause a “steady rise in interest rates for the foreseeable future.” “Rather than stabilizing the rates of interest,” said Hartke, ' “the inevitable effects of the President’s policy will be to drive them upwards.” Hartke gave the following explanation as basis for his prediction: “In recent weeks, the Federal Reserve System has been attempting to moderate the excessively high rate of growth of the money supply. To the extent that the Federal Reserve System feels that the new program will provide a stimulus for the economy, it will be further encouraged to cut this money supply growth. Thus, the aggregate flow of loanable funds can be expected to diminish noticeably from the trend that existed before the announcement of the new program. On the demand side, to the extent that retail sales and business confidence pick up and that the investment credit is successful, business investment — and therefore business borrowing — will rise sharply if only to finance the added inventories that will be required. The fiscal effects of the new program on the Federal deficit will be just about neutral. Therefore, the trend in federal borrowing will be steady. We are, however, approaching a period of seasonal deficit in the government account, and the Treasury can be expected to make heavy demands on the capital markets in the fourth quarter. The program will also provide a mild encouragement to state and local governments to increase their borrowing.”

Midwest Fall Color Tour

Botanists explain fall color displays as a chemical reaction —a perfectly logical result of the season’s shorter hours of sunlight — but for the viewer, another dimension is all-important, a never-to-be-forgotten view of magnificent scenery. September, October and November mark the days of Indian summer. The forest hills are on fire. And water, especially in rivers and streams, brings.out the boldest and most beautiful colors, magnifying them and — ~ at the same time — contrasting. Luminous maples, burning oaks and shimmering birch trees rim lakes and streams. There are' fields golden with harvests and orchards red with apples. Golds. ’ reds, brown are everywhere, rejected by the water and accented by the clear blue autumn skies. The Chicago Motor Club touring department points out that our midwest area has some of the best fall color scenery. While it is impossible to predict fall color peaks exactly, here are some Chicago Motor Club guidelines for Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. The club emphasizes that weather can effect not only the timing of fall color appearance, but also its intensity. MICHIGAN — Fall comes first to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. All of the Upper Peninsula is forested and all of it is beautiful in late September. Michigan 28 is a good highway to use. The peak of color is usually mid-October in the western and southern portions of the Lower Peninsula. Michigan 37 takes you though a wooded region of the Lower Peninsula and is a good scenic drive. WISCONSIN — Since fall coloring starts in the north and moves rather steadily south, northern Wisconsin will peak in late September or early October, while the rest of the state’s color should peak in mid-October. In the northern Eagle River — Rhinelander area, Wisconsin 70 is a good route to explore. Door County is another great fall color and recreation area. Take Wisconsin 42 and 57 to see Door County. Kettle Moraine forest, west of Milwaukee, is traversed in both its sections by Wisconsin 67; and it’s a beautiful place to motor through any time of the year. For those with more time, try following the Wisconsin River valley west to the Mississippi and then north on the Mississippi. For this scenic routing, take Wisconsin 60 to parallel the Wisconsin River and Wisconsin 35 on the Mississippi River. Both river valleys are breathtaking wheh decked out in fall colors. INDIANA — In Indiana, fall color means Brown county. In mid-October the entire state is ablaze with color and Brown county’s Indiana 46 has no peer. Gifty Falls State Park on the Ohio River, reached by Indiana 56, will also be beautiful through mid and late October, according

to visitors in previous years. The Parke county Covered Bridge Festival, held each year in Rockville is an excellent chance to combine fall • color with a vanishing part of Americana — the covered bridge. Especially scenic highways leading into and out of Rockville are U.S. 41 and U.S. 36. The festival will be held from October 8 through 17. ILLINOIS — Mid-October is also the best time to view fall coloring in Illinois. In northern Illinois the Mississippi palisades would be a good place to visit and nearby Galena, 111., will be holding an open house to show off some of the finest period architecture of the midwest on September 25 and 26. Illinois 2 follows the Rock River south from Rockford and is an especially pleasant drive for fall color seekers in mid-October. A favorite Chicago-area attraction is Morton Arboretum near Lisle, where over 4,800 species vie in fall-color attractiveness. In central Illinois, a drive along the Illinois River from Peru to Peoria is another color tour favorite. State parks are always convenient on this drive, with Starved Rock at the northern end and Here Marquette near the southern end. Os course, the dates are only approximate. Weather and the right timing of the weather are all-important. Some years the midwest may skimp on coloring and on others the effect is overpowering. There are other (daces to go to see fall coloring — too many to detail — and they also take their chances with the winds, rains and cold air masses. Fall color in Canada begins in September and sometimes lingers through October. New England fall color, depending on the latitude, is a September and October phenomenon. The historic and scenic Hudson River valley is especially beautiful in October. The. Smoky Mountains have fall color from midSeptember to mid-November of most years, the colors coming first in the highest altitudes and moving to the valleys as the season progresses. Virginia, and especially Williamsburg, where our nation’s colonial life has been recreated, is a delightful fall color excursion in mid-and lateOctober through the first week in November. Area Residents Enlist In Army SFC Lloyd Andries Jr., Station Commander of the local U. S. Army Recruiting Station for Kosciusko and Whitley counties announced today that five area men and women enlisted in the United States Army during the month of September.
