One of the Warsaw papers this week published a protest to the rest of the county claiming supporters of other schools always razz Warsaw. What does Wrasaw want? They always get to have the County’s tour* n amenta held there; at the •* recent tournament Warsaw rooters were those who razzed Mentone when it j looked at though that team would' win; razzed Beaver Dam when that team star.ed winning. " There is no w;ay under the rules i of the Athletic association-by which I the tournament can be given to W'ar- ■ saw. They’ll have to play basketball : s t<t> win it. But please now. you rough county' rooters, don’t razz ’em, cheer them on, they’ve admitted they need your ’ help. The expression, “A snug winter,” has been heard in these parts, de- > scribing the wintery day weather of I February.* Those using the phase ; must mean that the only snug place j due to the weather is on top of the ‘ stove. By the time a man has learned how to handle money, he has lost it ! all. The air mail controversey is rag- j ing and according to some newspapers the army planes are good for ‘ nothing. A great hullabalu hrs been j raised over the fact that the cockpits i of the army planes are not all en- j closed. In some quarters this fact is ; regarded as a disgrace. But those ‘ making the noise forget that a pur-, suit planes is designed primarily for fighting, not for carrying mail, and that a glass enclosed cockpit would be a handicap if a machine gun w:as to be tired through the lass. Politics are again,, obscuring the truth of the issue. The technicalities of the law have again brought disgrace upon the law itself. There is danger that dreds of criminals th Illinois will be liberated or will have to be re-indict-ed, because some clever appeal lawyer said that twenty-three names should have been drawn for the gfand jury in Chicago instead of sixty, as was done. Yet lawyers go moaning around about the sanctity of the law and the intent of the law. Judges and lawyers must now answer this question. Will justice be thwarted because sixty names were drawn instead of twenty-three? A most momentous question. O < • UNION MEETING TO BE HELD )— ' The young people as well as adults are urged to be present at the Union service at the United Brethren church Syracuse, Sunday evening, at 7:00 oMock. At, this time, Mr. York, Supt. of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, the speaker on this occasion, .Will discuss vital questions relative to our present situation.

ENFORCEMENT OF LICENSE LAW DID NOT CHECK SALE OF GASOLINE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind-Requiring [ purchase of 1934 auto license plates i during the month of December as provided by law, did not reduce the receipts from the state tax on gaso- ; line while the earlier collection of the license fees will benefit the counties, cities and towns, it was pointed out by Frank Finney, commissioner of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A result of the speeded up collection will *be the larger amount for distribution to the local taxing units when these fees are apportioned on April 1. Reports from the gasoline tax collections during December and "January show an increase of $137,687,90 over the same months a year ago when the deadline on the use of old license plates wrs extended several times. In December, 1933, the gasoline tax collected amounted to sl,-. 389.480.63 as compared with 'SI,-i 325,915.36 in December 1932, while the January 1934 collection was sl,--48.0t8.00 compared with $1,173,974.87 in January, 1933. Receipts it: ill funds of the auto license department from December 1, 1933 t</ February 14, 1934, have been $5,228,159.97 while this amount not collected the previous year until th® sale of plates had been in : progress for seven months. This year tl.e receipts from the sale of plates clone from Dec. 1, to Feb., i i 14 has been $4,902,927.55, and Mr. • Finney anticipates the collection of b“Ut- is mo;e from this source by the end of March. Fees i from this course aie being received i at the rate of about SIO,OOO a day. j On this basis it is estimated that by the end of March approximately the same number of plates will have | oeen sold in Indiana as were sold during the preceding year, 1933. On ' Feb. 14, when the records were ‘ checked, the number of license plat- j es sold from Dec. 1, to that date! was approximately 100,000 less than ; ; the number of plates sold ’ in 1933. With receipts for plate sales coming in steadily since Feb. 14, it is possible that a new record will be set. Receipts from the gasoline tax are divided between the State Highway j Commission, the counties, cities and ! towns, fifty pel* cent of the tax goi ing to the support of the State Highway system while the remaining fifty i per cent replaces local levies for »county roads and city and town streets. One-half of the fees from i auto license plate sales goes tp the [•State Highway Commission, one j fourth to the counties, cities, and I towns and one-fourth to the state general fund. OBITUARY.

BOOK REVIEW. (By Bessie Witherel Ballard) “The State versus Elinor Norton,” by Mary Roberts Rinehart, published by Farrar & Rinehart, $2,00, is the interesting biography ofc a woman on trial for murder. The book is not a detective story; \ hardly a regulation mystery story. It is rather a vibrant chronical of the unusual life of a woman; a life full of discouragement, heartbreak and dispair. Running through the story, and incidental to the main theme, is the 'counterstory of a love and devotion that casts sunlight and hope for the heroine during even the starkest moments of her trrgedy. Yet it is due to this love that Elinor Norton, though guilty of homicide, is exonerated of crime by a jury. The book is written in Mrs. Rinehart’s straight forward, pleasing style, which grips hte interest of the reader and holds it to the very satisfactory end. Jzwn Omltgaderj a NEWS TO SCHOOL PATRONS In the fall of 1933 the U. S. Health Service asked the American Dental Association to make a Dental Survey of all gr.de school children. The Association agreed to assume the atsk. A State chairman was appointed and he in turn appointed a director in each county to arrange for and have charge of this examination. A report of the results were to be made to the parents, to the U. S. Public Health Bureau, and a copy retained i by the local Dental Society. j The only practical way this could be done is through the public and parochial schools. But to do this required the permission of school superintendents and township trustees. In most counties this permission was readily granted and the examinations have already been m-.de or at hte present being made. However in Kosciusko County this is not so. ! Ihe members of the Kosciusko j County Dential Society agreed to go i to the schools and make the examinaj tions and make the reports with no i expense to the schools or taxpayers. , The County Director appealed to the County Superintendent and the Wari saw City Superintendent and they ■ favored the project. He then appear--led before the County Board of EduI cation for permission to entre the schools of the county and make the survey, but they, at a regular session, refused to grant this permission. Just why, we don’t know. Then an appeal was made to each trustee for permission to examine the individual unit under their control. This was granted in Franklin, Jackson and Lake townships and the City of Warsaw, in which places the examinations will be made soon. We would think that parents would welcome the information of the condition of their childrens teeth so that they could be cared for before it is too late to save the teeth* in good condition and prevent pain and poor health from the lack of dental attention. This is a nation wide movement and- surely the children of this county should benefit from it as well as other communities. • Realizing that people are reading in the papers the reports of these examinations being made in the surrounding communities and no doubt wondering why their children are not having this advantage, the Kosciusko County Dental Society feel that this information should be spread and the explanation be made.

The Old Man 9 s Corner

(Disclamor) What’s truth? Some folks once I bear'd a loud, sharp report. Each guessed at its cause. One said a [storm, one a train wreck, an earth- > j quake, explosion, volcano. But it [ proved to be something else that none [ |<ould have suspected. And so it is in i all things: It is all right to guess, | [ just so !> Old Guesses Yield to New Truth Many Protestants fret because f their Denominations keep splitting and re-splitting into smalle , war- * ring groups. Yet this splitting and re-splitting on doctrine is an important natural law, visible all through, I Nature. It me ns th t ultimate truth? ’jhas not yet been attained and that | ‘(mankind insists on attaining ulti- ' | mate truth. That is just what the ’[Pro.estant Reformation was at first a splitting off from prematurelycrysialized dogm ; just as ChristianiIty, itself, was such a splitting from the Hebrew root. The scientific story of the e rth says that at/one time its crust w.s a huge, air i4i_ur.bros en stone; that t heat, cold, rain, e c., caused conI linent-sized roc’s to cr .ck, to split and re-split ard split again, until , only sand, rem ined in many pk cesi , near the water’s edge. Then, for mi, ! scum, etc. were tlrow n upon the i I sand, £nd something like soil result-' t ed. Simple forms of life began, be-i , gan under God’s own plan, eacjh i wSth “seed after his kind”, and, dy- ( ing, its humns improved the soil, ' . paving the way for higher and yfet I higher forms of life. So it is w’ith everyhing: splitting I; and re-splitting goes on until -a soil I is created out of t.hxh rn idea- the i truth-can grow. s : So it is with our religious history. I i Man early guessed a solution to this i ( > most subtle of riddles. He is still .e- --; fining that guess, still splitting a id r ; re-splitting, eLminiring mistakes ! through knowledge. After long and t painful truth-seeking ‘ (always by ( , Heretics,) the truth has begun to a|p)jpear. It can' be pl inly seen now— J where? Growing in the s. nd and stil 4 prepared by the. splitting and resplitting of Christian and other b dies. Mind you, the life is in thje new ; idea and not at all in the sand or

soil. For sand and soil must be dead or the new truth cannot replace old guesses. Protestant splitting and re-splitting continues unabated. This is shown by returns from a Questionnaire sent to a thousand Protestant preachers in Chicago by Northwsetern University, 500 of v’hom answered. Ninty-eight per cent of the pastors agreed that God still plays a part in affairs and speaks through men today as of old; and so, naturally enough, they think we should all join church—though only 72 per cent agree that Jesus is uniquely “God”, only 59 per cent rgree that “heaven” ' is a real place; while “hell” is a place [of punishment to only 20 per cent of them. But in most questions of doctrine there was no majority, and as low as s«per cent, in favor of Christian dottrine. Heie tre some questions, and the percentage answering “yes” God keeps a record book, “yes” 19 per cent. God punishes us by storms, etc. , 17 per cent.., World was cieated in one week, 17 per cent. God is angry when we do wrong, !32 per cent. Do ’ heathen” elweys go to hell, ' 7 per cent. i Can we -;lwFjs be good if we try, 22 per ceht. i Will God answer prayer for rain, 14 per cent. God dictated each word of Bible, 27 per cent. From, sbeh well-infoimed aiswerg, it is evident that Protestant doctrines are to be ab; ndoned, but that I churches snd the ministry may re- | main. If that should happen, only | two akernaatives are possible: Fitst, Protestants mist find a doctrine which .common-priests and laymen alike will instinctively accept and re ch for is the living truth that grew from the sand and soil produced by their, own splitting and suffering—4he doctrine of progress and self-respect; or, Second, They may, as erring, defe ted sons, lose hope and return to , Catholic sm and prematurely-crys a- > iized dogma.
