Apathy is appalling
Dear Editor: Last week I was handed a flyer by my junior high student. I’m sure the vast majority of parents got one For a long time. I’ve felt there should be a group like this Lakeland Concerned Citizens Forum that cares about drug abuse. teenage drinking, stealing, shoplifting, vandalism, etc. When I received this notice I was so pleased that someone really cares enough to do something besides gripe 1 talked to quite a few parents and concerned citizens

Everyone expressed interest, but. sad to say. not enough to go with me even if I provided transportation The apathy in the Milford. Syracuse. North Webster area is appalling Do you know how many "concerned citizens" were at the meeting'’ Would you believe nine? 1 was there and I find it hard to believe I think it’s safe to say that everyone is aware we ha ve problems just like the lest of the coimtry Then if we are aware, don’t you think it’s time we quit passing the buck? It has to stop somewhere and they are our kids so what better place than with us How can we blame our kids if they have a "don’t care" attitude when it’s so obvious we don’t care enough to stand up and be counted for what we believe in? How long will it be before we realize that we “so called middle Americans" are in the majority? How long before we accept our
responsibility as parents and concerned citizens and wake up to the fact that we are such a majority that we hive to be heard. If only we care enough to stand up for what we believe in. we can change what needs to be changed. Os course it won’t be easy. What is easy that’s worth having? Let’s quit being afraid to get involved. Let’s be seen and heard. Show our kids we care.

1976-77 Outlook
WEST LAFAYETTE - With higher returns expected from com. soybeans and cattle, cash receipts to Indiana farmers in the year beginning October 1 should average about 10 per cent above these of the previous 12 months. This is the forecast of Purdue university agricultural economists who this week are conducting their annual outlook meetings throughout the state. These public meetings will continue through Friday. (Cash receipts to Indiana farmers during calendar 1975 amounted to almost $3 billion — down slightly from 1974 but still placing the state eighth again nationally in cash receipts from farm marketings.) Increased corn production and better prices for both corn and soybeans will be principal factors contributing to the boost in receipts, the economists said. Better prices and returns are also foreseen for cattle and milk. The economists anticipate a decline in cash receipts from hog sales. Marketings of Indiana hogs will not increase enough to offset expected lower average prices, they said. (Hogs, single most important source of Indiana farm income, account for about 25 cents of every $1 received). Fanners can also expect prices of purchased production items to average six to eight per cent above last year, the economists noted (Normally, two-thirds of cash receipts go for production expenses). Because of differences in major commodities produced, spending patterns, and buying and selling skills, the cash returns of Indiana fanners, will, as always, vary widely, the economists said. Rate of inflation Will also affect the purchasing power of farmers as it has and will continue to do for most Americans. Domestic demand for farm products will continue strong, although moderated somewhat by higher prices for many nonfood items and services. Foreign demand for US agricultural commodities will continue to be influenced considerably by weather conditions
abroad, the economist added. Current prospects are for S2O-22 billion in agricultural exports — down slightly from the record $22.15 billion reached in fiscal 1976. Real growth and continuing inflation are in prospect for the US economy in general, they said. Real output of the economy is expected to advance between three and five per cent and weraH price increases will likely range between five and seven per cent. Here are details of the Indiana outlook for the period from October 1, 1976. to September 30, 1977: Corn Dry weather during August and low sub-soil moisture conditions probably will reduce the record 6.2 billion bushel national corn crop forecast Aug. 12. Hence, corn prices are expected to strengthen prior to harvest. Favorable harvest weather may cause price declines The large crop is causing wide basis bids A good recovery in prices is expected after harvest. Late spring and summer prices are dependent upon projected 1977 corn crop prospects and use. But prices in the $2.50-$2.70 range are expected for central Indiana. Soybeans If pre-harvest estimates hold, soybean prices are expected to average around $6 per bushel at harvest — slightly below the $6.25-96.56 per bushel levels of late August. Any sharp price dip at harvest would probably justify storage. A small 1976 crop, a healthy domestic demand, and only slightly reduced exports should provide a supporting influence on soybean prices for several months. Wheat As the 2.1 billion bushel national crop is used, wheat prices are expected to increase. Late summer prices of $2.75 per bushel in Indiana will likely move well above the $$ level by mid winter. Hogs Al 2-15 per cent increase in hog slaughter is sapected to put downward pressure on hog prices. In 1976’s final quarter prices are expected to average in the low s4os as more animals continue to move to market. Price* (all barrows and gilts) should recover somewhat during the first half of 1977, averaging about $49 per hundredweight and peaking in late June and early July. The price trend should be irregularly lower in the JulySeptember 1977 period, averaging in the mid-s4o’s. Dairy Despite somewhat higher feed and other costs, net incomes for Indiana dairymen are expected to increase slightly. Fluid milk prices should average slightly higher per 106 pounds. Demand fcr milk and mdk products will remain strong. Poultry And Eggs Egg prices are expected to average near to slightly below the 1975-76 average of 55 cents per doeen. Broiler prices will probably average 1-3 cents per pound under last year’s 42.8 cents. Production will continue 812 per cent above last year during the next 3-5 months. Smaller increases are foreseen in 1977. With turkey supplies large, prices during the remainder of 1976 may dip 6-8 cents per pound below the 564 cents per pound of October-December, 1975. Production is likely to drop in 1977. Sheep And Lambs Slaughter lambs are expected Io remain in the low s4o's this fall but recover by year’s end. Prices should average in the mid-to-high s46’s during the first half of 1977. Fed Cattle Fed cattle marketings are expected to exceed year earlier levels by 15-20 per cent during the remainder of the year. Choice steer prices are expected to increase moderately in 1977, averaging in the tow to mid s4o’s per IM pounds. Prices are likely to be the best during JulySeptember 1977 with choice steers tracing in the mid to high

S4O range. Prospects for improved prices in 1977 will not insure feeding profits due to high feed costs and higher feeder cattle. Feeder Cattle Despite a downswing in cowcalf inventories, feeder cattle numbers remain relatively large. A decline in inventories is expected to continue. Producers may find it profitable to hold some of their calves until spring. Farm Real Estate If price prospects for 1977 crops are in line with current prices. Indiana farm land prices next spring may be as much as 10 per cent above summer of 1976 levels. Over the long run, investment in land likely will provide a relatively good hedge against inflation. t'-'B a ’X ‘ • i J I .4 QUEEN CANDIDATE — Darcy Kay Woiferman, Milford senior at Ball State university, is one of 42 women competing for 1976 Homecoming Queen at the university.

THE AMERICAN party candidates urge area residents to use their right to vote and to register at their county courthouse before the deadline, October 4. The party is supporting Don Lee for US Senator. Lee was born in Connersville on January 16, 1940 and is a life-time Hoosier. He graduated from Southport high school in 1958. Following two years service in the US Army, he returned to Indianapolis to work as a sheet metal die maker. “IS GOVERNOR Bowen planning another increase in the sales tax or is he goine to make cuts in state support to education?” asks Larry A. Conrad. Democratic nominee for governor. Referring to Otis Bowen’s claim in Dubois county that he would be able to "maintain property tax relief" without making changes in the state’s “revenue system," Conrad pointed out, “Under the current Republican taxing plan, passed in 1973, those are the only options. The doubled sales tax was supposed to do two things: provide property tax relief and pay for any increases in the cost of But, because of the excessive tax relief given to large corporations, there is not enough money left to do both. If the Governor plans to continue subsidizing these corporations, and he says he does, then he either has to raise the sales tax or cut education funding. I just want to know which he plans to do.” "IN MY judgement, one of the most important single features to businessmen of the Hartke supported tax reform bill, passed by the congress this year, is the provision increasing the investment tax credit to two per cent for employee stock ownership plans,” stated Mrs. Hartke. "For businessmen, it is a wonderful opportunity to raise capital for the expansion of samll and medium size business. ” This feature has very little revenue cost compared to the benefit of stimulating business through worker ownership. Employee stock ownership, plans will move this country a long way toward the day when every worker will own a meaningful amount of stock in the company for which they work, the news release continues. "Free enterprise and capitalism are losing ground all over the world,” said Mrs. Hartke, “many knowledgeable and informed owners and management people recognize that unless they start giving the workers a piece of the action and increase the participation of the workers in capitalism, the future of the free economicsystem is in jeopardy.” THE FIRST presidential debate concluded, voters have been given the choice of "quality of life programs” or on the other hand, the mushrooming of governmental agencies calling for governmental control over individuals and a great cost to the average taxpayer. C■ t ‘ President Ford, clearly representative of voters concern for higher taxes and expanded government, "quality of life programs" which do not require oppressive government spending but offer tax relief and in the end, greater individual choice. It appears Governor Carter would prefer to administer government control over individuals. In his final remarks. President Ford said, “a government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take from you everything you have." President Ford reminds us, said John B. Augsburger of Milford, that the Democratic congress has written all tax bills for the past 22 years and that “anti-Washington feeling should be focused on the congress.” It is apparent that America needs to maintain its system of checks and balances on the congress. "I feel the depth and breadth of the candidates are now before voters like myself and it is true, as President Ford said, the American people’ are the winners of the debate. I intend to go to the polls on November 2 with a hope for ‘quality of life’ for all Americans through our Republican candidate,” said Augsburger.
