Your Blood Is Needed

As most Americans have never given any blood at all, the record of Mr. Alfred Ross of New York, 135 pints — nearly 17 gallons is remarkable. The white-haired musician has passed his » 66th birthday, the cutoff for blood donation of both the American Association of Blood Banks and the American Red Cross. He can give no more, but he hopes that more younger men and women will continue to do so. “Anybody who knows the need for blood will give it,”, says Ross, who plays the drums with the touring “Disney on

Corny Idea

It’s that time of year when we aim to drive carefully, especially on country roads where cornfields obstruct our view. State and county police officials are also worried about those same fields and the damage they can bring. Impaired vision of drivers has caused the loss of many lives and in many cases, the reason was a country cornfield where the farmer neglected to cut the cornstalks off so that the driver could see easier.

Mr. Farmer, please cut your corn

Chris Schenkel — Our Man In Munich

Chris Schenkel of Tippecanoe Lake is “our man in Munich,” and we want him to know the residents of the Lakeland area are real proud of him. Chris is the homespun American Broadcasting Company’s sports announcer of national fame, and he easily reached a new pinnacle of international popularity with his low-key reporting of the Olympic games from the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany. ABC has an exclusive for American television at the worldfamous games, and Chris is their top sports reporter. Chris and his sidekick Jim McKay had the difficult job of “holding” last night for an unusually long period of time awaiting for an official report of the outcome of the Arab guerilla kidnapping of the Israeli athletes. By now the outcome of that tragedy is well known to

— Special Report from Washington — SHRIVER DECLARES HIS INDEPENDENCE By Jack Anderson 1972 Pulitzer Prize Winner for National Reporting (Copyright, 1972, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

WASHINGTON—In the midst of campaigning hard for George McGovern, Democratic vice presidential candidate Sargent Shriver is quietly declaring his independence of the Kennedys. Shriver, whose marriage to Eunice Kennedy 19 years ago made him a charter member of the Kennedy circle, has thus far carefully avoided painting himself as a bearer of the Kennedy legacy. Instead, in his campaign speeches, Shriver has drawn on his experiences with Lyndon Johnson, whom Shriver repeatedly describes as a great architect of domestic affairs. Shriver’s campaign tactics rebut those who claimed a month ago that McGovern’s choice of Shriver as his running mate was an attempt to cash in on the Kennedy charisma. Intimates tell us just the opposite is true—that neither the Shrivers nor the Kennedys particularly want the association. Members of led-Kennedy's staff, we are told, often view Shriver as an outsider who parlayed his association with the family into a shot at the big time. As proof, they review his resume of jobs: First, Shriver managed the Chicago Merchandise Mart for

everyone with an interest in the Olympic Games. But back to Chris Schenkel. He is a native of Bippus, Ind., but he and his wife Jean have chosen to move their family from Manhattan to Tippecanoe Lake where their three children are in the Lakeland schools. A daughter is a senior at Wawasee high school, a son a freshman there, and a second son is in the North Webster elementary school. Chris has really become one of us. He unhesitatingly takes part in local activities: For example, he spoke at Wawasee high school’s first all-sports banquet, he passed out trophies at the Northern Lakes golf competition at Maxwelton, he took part in the Augsburger store ribbon cutting at North Webster, he provided the lead-in for the Kosciusko Community Hospital television program, he is honorary chairman of the North Webster-

old Joe Kennedy. Then he ran the Peace Corps and the poverty program. Finally, he became Ambassador to France. All along the way, some Kennedy insiders feel, Shriver traded on the family name. But Shriver’s friends argue that the association with the Kennedys has hurt as well as helped the vice presidential candidate. Twice, the Kennedys intervemed to prevent Shriver from accepting the vice presidency. In 1964, Lyndon Johnson dangled the job in front of Shriver, but the Kennedys reportedly objected and LBJ withdrew the offer. Shriver reacted by staying with the Johnson Administration even after Bobby Kennedy announced he would run against LBJ in 1968. Four years ago, Hubert Humphrey considered choosing Shriver as his running mate, but once again the Kennedys intervened. Then came George McGovern, who may have offered Shriver his last chance to declare his independence of the Kennedys. If Shriver runs a good race, he will become a powerful figure in the presidential stakes in 1976. Perhaps this is what Teddy Kennedy is really worried about.

oriented International Palace of Sports. We could go on. In a very real sense Chris Schenkel is one of us here in the Lakeland area. And we’re so very proud of him. We just wanted him to know. Social Security And You Q — I am a single working girl who plans to be married in the near future and move out of the state. Should I change my address with social security? , A— It is not necessary to change your address unless you have filed for, or are receiving social security benefits. However, once you are married, you should call or visit your nearest social security office to change your name on our records.

NIXON’S PLAN President Nixon intends not only to win the November election but to keep the republican party in power for the next 20 years. The President has adopted a methodical, four-strategy plan to broaden the party’s base and to make the GOP the majority party in America. Here are his four strategies: —Southern strategy—To break the Democratic party’s hold on the South, Nixon began playing Southern politics in 1968. He promised a Supreme Court more sympathetic to the South and tried unsuccessfully ’to appoint a southerner to the first Supreme Court vacancy. The President also slowed down the rush to integrate the schools and came out against busing. —Catholic strategy— The President has courted Catholics assiduously by opposing abortion and favoring federal aid to parochial schools. This is expected to cut into the traditional Democratic vote in Catholic parishes. —Jewish strategy—Nixon has taken a strong pro-Israel stand, which is winning Jewish votes away from the Democratic party. —Labor strategy—The President intervened to prevent the GOP from adopting its customary anti-labor platform. He also arranged to be at the golf course at the right time to join AFL-CIO chief George Meany for a round of golf. Afterward, the two men talked privately for more than an # hour. Thereafter, Meany used his personal influence to try to stop individual unions from endorsing George McGovern. FRIEND OR FOE? President Nixon would like to be known as the consumer’s friend. Yet it was the White House that delivered the final,

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ A Brief Look At — The Campaign Trail ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

DR. OTIS R. BOWEN, Republican candidate for Governor, said that Indiana needs a strong liaison office in Washington in order to assist in planning and to take advantage of possible rural development programs which are being studied by the Nixon administration. “If the State of Indiana does not have an input into the development of the program, it will be shaped by those who do, and it will not reflect Indiana’s needs and priorities,” Bowen said. EUNICE M. SHRIVER, wife of Democratic Vice Presidential candidate R. SARGENT SHRIVER, JR., will speak at a Democratic women’s luncheon in Indianapolis on September 9. MRS. CHARLES .(KATIE) WOLF, Indiana Democratic National Committeewoman, announced Mrs. Shriver’s appearance as part of Indiana’s program for National Democratic Women’s Day. Mrs. Shriver, an active campaigner for her brothers, JOHN F. KENNEDY in his 1948 bid for Congress and 1960 race for the Presidency, and ROBERT F. KENNEDY in his 1968 Presidential bid, will be appearing for the first time in this campaign without her husband. MATTHEW E. WELSH, Democratic candidate for Governor, conducted an active schedule on Labor Day and issued a major campaign statement. The other Democratic state candidates also had a busy day. Lt. Governor candidate RICHARD BODINE was in Ligonier, New Castle, Upland, Hammond and Terre Haute. TED WILSON, candidate for attorney general, JOHN LOUGHLIN, incumbent state superintendent of public instruction and JEANNE TRIXLER, Democratic candidate for reporter of the supreme and appellate courts also visited several cites during the day.

killing blow to no-fault auto insurance. No-fault insurance would do away with the problem of deciding who’s responsible for auto accidents. Every driver would look to his own insurance company to pay his medical and repair bills. No longer would we need lawyers to settle accident case. This, of course, would mean that trial lawyers would lose about a billion dollars a year in fees. Their loss would be the consumers’ gain ultimately in the form of lower premiums. The bill that would have established a national no-fault system finally came to the Senate floor a few weeks ago. Despite the opposition of the trial lawyers, it was given a good chance to pass. But then the White House went to work. The President’s team of lobbyists included David Gunning, who works for White House fixer Peter Flanigan. Wallace Johnson, the President’s lobbyist in the Senate, also worked against the bill. The Department of Transportation contributed one of its congressional “liaison men,” Jim Rose. Even the Justice Department sent two powerful operatives, Donald Santarelli and Paul Woodard, up to Capitol Hill to lobby against no-fault insurance. At least four Republican senators, we are told, were originally in favor of no-fault but their minds were changed by the White House team. By voting time, the administration knew the bill was dead. John Evans, a staff man for the President’s domestic affairs adviser, John Erlichman, sat in the Senate gallery and witnessed the execution. It may have been a triumph for the White House, but it was a defeat for the nation's auto owners.

DOCTOR OTIS R. BOWEN, Bremen, has announced the appointment of MRS. BEA MUNSTERMAN' as state chairwoman of “Women for Bowen.” Mrs. Munsterman is from Monon. FLOYD FITHIAN, Democratic candidate for Second District Congressman, stated this week that ways must be found to expand the demand for more agricultural products, both at home and abroad. “The greatest area for expansion is the foreign export trade market,” stated Fithian. “We must not only hold our own but increase exports. We must compete more aggressively in the foreign market.” State Senator ROBERT D. ORR, Republican candidate for Lt. Governor, praised the working man and woman as the “Cornerstone of American prosperity” and sounded an optimistic note on his belief in future economic growth for southern Indiana in a speech to a Labor Day rally at the Warrick county 4-H fairgrounds. Orr examined progress in bringing prosperity to the working family, also touching on the importance of economic development for southern Indiana and analyzing the importance of cooperation between government and both labor and business in bringing greater prosperity and job opportunities. He noted the richness of natural resources to be found in southern Indiana, also pointing out that careless practices in the development of the area had in the past caused environmental problems. LAKELAND LOCAL Guests this past week in the home of Mrs. Mae Rinker, Syracuse, were Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Rinker and son of Cosa Mesa, Calif., and Mr. and Mrs. Mike Lahne, Cheley, Colo.
