Charles Rapp Receives Letter Os Commendation

A letter of commendation honoring him for his high performance on the 1971 preliminary scholastic aptitude .test - national merit scholarship qualifying test (PSAT-NMSQT) has been awarded to a student at Wawasee high school, Principal Henry L. Smith has announced. This young man named is Charles L. Rapp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Rapp of r 1 Pierceton. The national merit scholarship corporation (NMSC) has named 37,000 commended students in the United States. These students are among the upper two per cent of those who are expected to graduate from high school in 1973. The commended students rank high, but below the 15,000 semifinalists announced in September by NMSC. Edward C. Smith, president of NMSC, said: “Although commended students advance no further in the merit scholarship competition, their standing in this nationwide program deserves public recognition. Their high performance on the PSAT-NMSQT shows promise of continued success in college. “The commended students should be encouraged to pursue their education since their intellectual talent represents an important and much needed natural resource. Both these students and our nation will benefit from their continuing educational development.” The commended students’ names are reported to the ' colleges they named as their first and second choices when they took the PSAT-NMSQT in October 1971. The reports include home addresses, test scores, and

Semi-Finalists Named At North Wood Principal William E. Dorsey has announced that 2 students at North Wood high school have been named semifinalists in the 1973 National Merit scholarship program. The students are Paul Schrock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Schrock, r 5 Goshen, and Dan Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Bell of 308 Wabash Avenue in Wakarusa. The approximately 15,000 semifinalists appointed today are among the nation’s most academically talented high school seniors. They will compete for some 3,000 Merit scholarships to be awarded in 1973. The semifinalists received the highest qualifying scores in their states on the preliminary scholastic aptitude test-national merit scholarship qualifying test (PSAT-NMSQT), which was given last October to over one million students in about 16,600 schools nationwide. They constitute less than one percent of the graduating secondary school seniors in the United States. The semifinalists show high promise for leadership in their adult careers, according to Edward C. Smith, president of the National Merit scholarship corporation (NMSC). “They have already demonstrated both high intellectual capacity and a readiness to develop their abilities,” he said. “These students deserve credit and honor. They bring honor to their families, who deserve much credit, as do their teachers and their communities. The future success of these young people will, however, depend upon their ability to become productive at the high intellectual levels that they are capable of attaining.” Semifinalists must advance to finalist standing to be considered for the Merit scholarships to be awarded next spring. Semifinalists become finalists by receiving the endorsement of their schools, confirming their high PSAT-NMSQT performance on a second examination, and providing information about their accomplishments and interests. About 96 percent of the semifinalists are expected to become finalists, and each will be considered for one of the 1,000 National Merit SIOOO Scholarships which are allocated on a state basis. Many will also be considered for the renewable four-year Merit scholarships provided by some 500 corporations, foundations, colleges,

unions, trusts, professional associations, other organizations, and individuals. Each finalist will receive a Certificate of Merit in recognition of his outstanding performance in the program. Winners of four-year Merit scholarships may receive up to $1,500 a year for four college years, depending on their individual need. Winners of the national Merit SIOOO Scholarships will receive their nonrenewable one-time awards after they enroll as full-time students in accredited U. S. colleges or universities. High school grades, accomplishments, leadership qualities, and extra-curricular activities of the finalists are evaluated, along with test scores, in selecting Merit scholarship winners. NMSC identifies the semifinalists to all regionally accredited colleges and universities and to certain agencies that provide financial aid. Many of the semifinalists receive financial aid from sources other than the Merit Program. Names of the winners in the 1973 Merit scholarship program will be announced in the spring of 1973. Over 31,000 students have received Merit scholarships in the 17 annual programs to date.

1973 Outlook For Indiana Agriculture

LAFAYETTE - Hoosier farmers can expect a three per cent increase in their net cash income during the next 12 months, compared to their record income of the past year, Purdue university agricultural economists said today. Cash receipts of Indiana farmers in the year beginning Oct. 1 are expected to be about 5.5 per cent higher than in the previous 12 months, they asserted. (Cash receipts of Indiana farmers during 1971 amounted to a record $1.6 billion.) However, continuing inflation, higher production costs and lower government farm program . payments are expected to reduce the real purchasing power of “net cash income per Indiana farm” three per cent below the 1972 level, the economists said. Returns from all important commodities probably will be higher, but “... largest gains are expected to be realized by producers of cattle, eggs, soybeans and wheat,” the economists said. Thus, incomes of individual farmers may vary widely. Average production cost increases will be about 6.5 per cent, with “all major input items . . . expected to be higher priced than the average of the past year,” they noted. This forecast, with a look at the general economic. situation throughout the nation, was made in a series of Indiana meetings beginning today. Os the general business outlook, the economists said: “The economic recovery currently under way is expected to carry into the year ahead. Gross national product seems likely to rise around $1,240 billion in the second quarter of 1973 (seasonally adjusted annual rate). This would be a gain of about nine per cent over the second quarter of 1972. Real output is expected to grow by five or six per cent, nearly as much as last year’s 6.1 per cent real gain. Price advances will probably average three to four per cent, assuming continuation of price and wage controls . . . “The long time U.S. deficit balance on all international transactions will persist, although the deficit may be less adverse than in the year just past . . . The demand for farm products will advance in response to rising income per person and population growth ... Agricultural exports are expected to continue strong in the year ahead, with a continuation of substantial sales to regular overseas customers and sharply higher grain sales to Russia and some to China.” Here are details of the Indiana outlook for the period from October 1 to September 30, 1973: Hogs Expect fourth quarter 1972 prices to move downward from the third quarter $28.50 average for all barrows and gilts at seven major markets. Fourth quarter prices will be under seasonal pressures as slaughter increases and should average in the $25-$27 per hundredweight range . . . Some seasonal recovery can be expected during the first three months of 1973‘ with prices averaging from $25 to S2B. Prices in the second quarter should average in the $24-$26 range. Increases in marketings in the third quarter of next year may bring average prices $2-$4 under the 1972 third quarter levels of near $28.50.

Beef Fed cattle prices are expected to average $34-$36 pjr hundredweight for choice steers at Omaha for the remainder of this year. During the first half of 1973 they are expected to average $36S3B. For the third quarter they likely will range $35-$! 7. High feeder cattle prices, plus higher feed costs, are likely to narrow the profit margins for cattle feeders. Corn Indiana farmers expect to harvest 463.6 million bushels, down 13 per cent from 1971. The U.S. crop is estimated at 5.1 billion bushels, down fight per cent from last year’s record crop. Total supplies will exceed 6.2 billion bushels, slightly larger than last year. Increases in feed . usage and exports will set a new record of around 5.3 billion bushels. Prices are exjiected to hold above loan level (SI.OB a bushel in Indiana) at harvest with above average gains from storage. Based on present supply and demand projections seasonal high prices for cash com at Chicago are expected to range from $1.45 to $1.50 a bushel. This is 15-20 cents higher :han last year. This price should come earlier than normal in the marketing year unless significant additional exports materialize and a short crop develop in 1973. Soybeans Indiana will produce a record soybean crop of 118.3 million bushels, five per cent more than in 1971. Nationally the crop is expected to total 1.3 billion bushels, 10 per cent above last year’s production. Total supplies are about 100 million bushels more than in 1971. Worldwide supplies and demand for soybean oil and soybean meal determine prices of products and soybeans. Total supplies of oils are abundant; weakness in oil prices is more likely than strength. The key to any soybean price increase is in the meal. A worldwide shortage of protein for livestock should hold meal prices at high levels. But meal prices are .already high and appe.ir high in view of prospective supplies. Fish meal from Peru is soybean meal’s biggest competitor, but the catch has been poor and is uncertain in the year ahead. There is a market for all soybeans produced this year provided they are not overpriced. Farmers should think seriously about storage and contracting soybeans for delivery next summer. Prices at harvest in central Indiana are expected to range from $3.10 to $3.20 a bushel. By contracting or hedging you can earn normal storage return of 20 to 25 cents a bushel. Unless new export business develops prices may drift lower during the year ahead. Dairy Producer milk prices this year continue to reflect strength that dairymen have come tc expect. . . This price increase, averaging about 2.5 per cent atxjve 1971 levels, is expected to hold during the coming outlock year. However, production costs are increasing at a rate somewhat greater than milk prices. Thus, net income of dairymen will likely be slightly below that of the past year. Eggs Prices are expected to average five to eight cents ]>er dozen above those of the past year. Supplies probably will ae tight by the summer of 1973.

& THE EDITOR

Citizen Speaks Out

Dear Editor: I believe your paper prides itself in printing the news no matter who it hurts. Well some time ago you printed under Milo Case’s Court news that I had been arrested for dumping refuse on roadway. Actually my summons read “Did violate — Refuse Act — 1C1971. 19-2-1 To wit: a dump”. When I appeared in Milo Clase’s court I asked just what I was charged with and he told me I knew as I had been warned time and time again. I had never been warned once during the three weeks I had my landfill in operation. I decided to fight the case. Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Hom, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Armey, neighbors to the landfill as well as Deputy Sheriff Earl Boggs and Mr. Carroll Sherman appeared as witnesses against me. However, they all had to admit that my landfill Was the best run landfill in the county and they further admitted they did not want a landfill in that locality.

Broilers Prices are expected to average in the 28-30 cents a pound range, about 1.5 cents higher than in the last year. Turkeys Prices likely will average about one cent a pound lower than a year ago during the major marketing season. Farm Real Estate A five to 10 per cent increase is probable. Over the next one to five years, inflation and other factors, will push farm values still higher. Break-In At Pacer Authorities continue investigation into an early morning break-in at Pacer Oil on South Huntington street last week with entry gained by forcing a door on the north side of the building. Approximately $250 in cash was missing according to the station manager who discovered the break-in when opening for business on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Emma Biller is living at the Ora nursing home, Milford.

I voluntarily closed my landfill to pacify all those so terribly interested. Assistant Prosecutor Frey stated that I had closed my landfill which was what the neighbors wanted and he saw no reason for me to pay a fine. However, Mr. Clase took it under advisement. If it is really news when I am arrested then I think it should also be news when the case is dismissed. Perhaps dismissed is not the proper word, but I did not pay a fine and since that time I have received my bond money back. Please print this in the Letters To The Editor Column of your paper. Sincerely, Stanley Custer, Contractor Milford, Indiana EDITOR’S NOTE: On July 26 this paper ran an article stating Custer had been charged with violating the refusal disposal act and justice of the peace Milo Clase had taken same under advisement.
