I too feel a need

Dear Editor. ’ Having just read the article written by Tammi Franke in last week s Mail-Journal. I too felt a need to jot you a line or two. Three cheers for Miss F'ranke who "felt grossly under represented by your newspaper when you feature 12-pages on athletics and virtually nothing about any clubs or other organizations ” Good grief, don’t you realize there are many, many other things going on at Wawasee high school besides sports? Perhaps, like it has been said, you all have been playing football too long without a helmet’ Like these few sports people you constantly wnte about in your newspaper hundreds of other students, who are involved m numerous other organizations, need and deserve your comments for their many hours of effort put forth. You always have a report on

last week's football games that take up half a page or more, but I’ve yet to see comments on the fantastic job our Marching Warriors are doing and have done this year. Perhaps your sports minded mind has not stopped thinking sports long enough to think about al’ the hours and energy the bands people put forth too! All these kids, under quite able leadership, have really done a super job this year and I'm sure it would give them equal pleasure if your paper would have the foresight to at least mention the fact!! I believe you do yourselves a great disservice in the minds of hundreds of other young people at Wawasee high school by forever leaving them out of the “headlines.” When are you going to correct this situation** Sincerely.

Needs careful scrutiny

Dear Editor: A contribution to your issue of October 13 titled, “Should Consider Seniority,” and presented by David L. Matthews, attorney at law, I believe needs some careful scrutiny. Inadvertently. I am sure, Mr. Matthew-s has displayed great political acumen. In his espousal of our incumbent senior Senator Vance Hartke. over the candidacy of former Indianapolis Mayor Richard Lugar, Mr. Matthews has struck a clarion note in favor of the elimination of our archaic Congressional seniority system. The retirement of Senator Hartke could be a giant step in the right direction. After all, Mr. Hartke. Wilbur Mills, and exCongressman Hays, could

Bulls and steers can now be tested

By VICTOR R. VIRGIL Extension Agent Beef producers now have the opportunity to have bulls and steers production tested at the Pioneer Beef Facility near Tipton The facility was recentlyleased for testing purposes and should prove to be a veryvaluable asset to Indiana beef producers Entrv deadline for the current test is November 8. The animals are then allowed to adjust to the conditions for a period of three weeks before the testing period starts on December 9. Both bulls and steers are weighed at the 28th and 56th. and

combine and start a foreign travel agency. Their experience in that area would be invaluable to success. A rather low blow was Mr. Matthews statement, may I please quote, “Let’s not be foolish and send his opponent there, who will have to start out by asking which way the men’s restroom is and which one, he as a freshman, is allowed to use.” Perhaps with a new face in the Senate, and a fresh personality with less hot air and kindred substance, the location and accessibility of the gentlemen's “Powder Room” would not be of such critical importance to the freshman Senator. Yours very- truly. Joseph D. Shewmon Syracuse

months We feel the center has greatly benefited from your cooperation Sincerely, Ann Hapner Corresponding secretary

84th days on the test with the test ending March 31. A total of SIOO is collected for feed and veterinary expenses when the animals are taken to the facility Another SIOO is due in February after the 56 day weights are recorded. All costs are pro rated according to the number of animals they tested. The steers are slaughtered at the end of the test and carcass data, cost of grain, etc values are determined Bulls are sold in a performance tested sale in April Ive got all the details in the extension office and would be glad to provide them to any beef producers interested

Wed., Oct. 27,1976 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

| Our choice: Carter, Bowen, | j Hartke, Fithian, Augsburger j (An Editorial) §

With the general election to be held this X coming Tuesday. The Mail-Journal would like ••• to announce its choices for several offices. •:* If the publication of these choices does $ nothing more than anger enough readers, it x will have served its purpose well. X So far there has been far too much apathy, with well over 50 per cent of the registered voters stating they planned to “sit this one out.” Neither candidate for president has X touched a common chord to inspire the $ American electorate. $ So, we'll announce a few choices and see what that will do: $ We're For Carter We favor Jimmy Carter for president over President Gerald Ford. First, we never X thought he’d get his party's nomination, since he's a southerner with no political base. But he was able to go out among the people and win primary after primary, in state after <: state. He comes across as a simple man of deep integrity. And he's not nor ever has been a part of the “Washington crowd.” President Ford is tied in with the old crowd X in Washington that so many Americans y; distrust, and the pardon of former President Richard Nixon, prior to any trial, still smacks of a deal which favored both Ford and Nixon. X Deal or not. it still looks this way to many X Americans who have had far too many of such shenanigans to feel comfortable with this sort of thing. We’re taken by Carter's sincerity, and we’d •y like to see the American people give him a chance. Harry Truman was thought unfit for $ this high office because of his humility and v earthiness, but he proved a great president, «y as most everyone now admits. v •y And so we’re for Carter for President, jy Bowen For Governor X And we favor Governor Otis R. Bowen for a second term. If elected, he'll be the first v Hoosier to have a consecutive four-year term, •y although Henry F. Schricker had two terms $ but not in succession. X Bowen has been a good, sincere governor of Indiana and the people like and trust him. As :•* a family physician he has a good “bedside manner,” and it has caught on with the people * of Indiana. X This is not to say all is right in the Hoosier $ state. There’s a lot of concern about his local :** option tax that it favors big property owners and hits the small man. This is hardly a soak the rich plan, but it does catch a lot of people who have been getting by with a small tax $ bill. Bowen also doubled the sales tax which hurt the small man, but the Hoosier Republican press failed to score him for this as they did poor old Harold Handley when they all v clamored to call him “High Tax Harold.** !;• So. in spite of our friendship for Secretary of State Larry Conrad, whom we think would make a good governor, we are for returning Otis Bowen to the governor’s chair. We’re Hard For Hartke *:* .And we want to see R. Vance Hartke X returned to a fourth term in the US Senate. X We know he is low in the polls at the present **: time, but Hartke has always fought for InX diana. and now, in particular, he's in line for chairmanship of the powerful commerce $ committee. With this post at his command, X and several others that should fall his way, •!- Indiana should do well in getting returned funds to our state. X Certainly, others like William Jenner, $ Harold Handley, and. yes, Otis Bowen, have

Homecoming planned at New Salem on Oct. 31

The New Salem Church of the Brethren will hold its annual homecoming basket dinner on Sunday, Oct. 31.

Mrs. Bushong accompanied on the piano. Pastor Woodburn delivered the morning message “The Folly of the Fickle Followers” from I Samuel 8:1-22.

failed to get more than 60 cents returned to •:> our state for every $1 sent to Washington. And $ _ Bowen promised us this would be his No. 1 $ priority four years ago! :•! But Indiana has a “suicide complex,” having never before given a US Senator a fourth term. What's wrong with us? The •!• southern states don’t have this problem, and $ as a result they get all the "goodies.” $ Hartke has done much for Indiana's X railroads to keep them running and he can do more. This is important to our state. Lugar has too much Nixon tie-in to suit us, and his home folks in Marion county don’t think all that much of him. They failed to X support him two years ago when he ran against Birch Bayh. v Yes, you'll have to put us down for retur- ;> ning Vance Hartke to the US Senate. Fithian. A Back Home Boy § .And we would like to see Floyd Fithian !•: returned to congress in the second district. He has served just one term, and it's been a x good term. too. He deserves another term. and we feel sure of the inherent goodness and $ fairness of Hoosier voters to think they will X agree. <: Floyd has promised to “keep in touch” with $ the folks back home, and he has. He has held •!; 203 town meetings, giving all voters a chance to see him in their home towns. He has held $ five congressional forums and five official X hearings in the second district. You can't do much more to bring the *> federal government back to the people than that. $ Fithian's voting record is conservative, X moderate, one we particularly like. .And we question that Will Erwin would vote any ydifferently, issue after issue. •!• Now, don't get this wrong. We like Will Erwin, and he's a county lad of high !•! character and religious persuasion. But right here at home we've always given a candidate X a second term where he did well in his first term. Floyd Fithian is anything but a big spender. No one would ever call him that. $ .And so. we like Floyd Fithian and would X like to see him returned for another term. X And Now Augsburger John B. Augsburger is our choice for the •!• state senate. John will do well to follow in his jy dad’s footsteps. He makes friends easy and $ would work well with either Governor Bowen a or Governor Conrad. We've known Johnnie for a long time, and y; have always found him diligent, hard working and fair and square. <• We don't know his opponent, and with no a more campaigning than he’s done we can't a feel he sincerely wants the senate seat. y; Young Johnnie Augsburger has never held elective political office before, and he'll be a *:> babe in the woods at Indianapolis when and if X he’s seated in the august state senate. But y; this isn’t all bad: he won't be encumbered x with a lot of inhibitions either. •!• We think he has the capacity to learn fast, v and he's a home town boy. We like John B. Ausgburger and think he has the ability to grow into the job. We will be asking our friends to vote for John next y; Tuesday. $ So there it is, some Republicans and some $ Democrats. Not all office seekers are named X in this space, but we feel we have touched on x the important ones. •!; Not everyone will agree with this, but if 51 per cent of our readers do. we'U be pleased. <•
