This concerns fishing facilities at Lake Viichigan in northern Indiana. I like to fish there and so do many of you men that read this article.

Yet, we nave no place to fish. If there is a is either owned by some steel mill or factory and people are kept off. Or else, the pier is so rotted it isn't safe to be on it. Like I say, NO PLACE TO FISH, let the state gets money out of the fishing license fees. Of course, you have to have a license to fish there.

It's true the fees go for restocking fish. But as you all know, the state does not restock Lake Michigan. Let's make use of that money that goes out for fishing licenses. What do you let's do a little squawking and get some Maybe we could get a pier made suitable and safe to fish on. This only Indispensable persona are its readers.

IF I WERETNw TURN MV BACK, ON REALITY I CLEAN UP POSTS Voice of the People: After visiting the various Legion and VFW posts in Hammond, I can understand why enrollment is not higher. In the first place, most of the "regulars" are a class of people everyone doesn't want to associate with.

Secondly, the meetings are a laugh. Seventy percent of the time is taken up by old post commanders, etc. quibbling over issues don't mean a thing. If our senate and congress are run in this fashion, then it's time to elect younger men. Let's clean up these posts and I'm sure the enrollment will take care of itself.

They also have little flower gardens on the balconies of the houses. Visitors to Kashmir are likely to rent houseboats to live in while they are there.

For a small sum a native family, living at one end of it, will take the houseboat up and down the river when the visitor wishes Usually a houseboat is from 50 to 60 feet long, but a few of them have a length of from 75 to 100 feet.

Even if your car does not have trouble, the trip will be slow and probably will take two days. It is safer to let horses pull you in a carriage to the valley. With this method, you should get there from Rawalpindi in three or four days. The capital of Kashmir has the name of Sriniprar. It is the home of about 150,000 people, who have homes on both sides of a river.

Several bridges join the two parts ol this city, which was founded 1,400 years ago. Almost all the houses in the capital are built of wood. On the-roofs of many of them are flower gardens!

You could travel to that city by steamship and railway, but then you would need some other method of You might rent a motor or you might use a cart or carriage. Motor cars make trips from Rawalpindi to the capital of Kashmir, but the road is rough and an automobile is likely to break down or run out of during the 150- HANDING INDUSTRY ITS HAT AND COAT Back in 1915 believe' it or not East Chicago welcomed new industries and figuratively tossed its hat in the air when the Edward Valves Co. acquired a site and built a plant. It was about three years later that the new manufacturing concern completed the purchase of some 20 acres of land, half of which was utilized in its operations and the remainder held for future expansion. In 1933, much to its later dismay, the company voluntarily offered the a 30-day basis, a playground area of 9000 feet.

And that was the beginning of its zoning trouble which has resulted at this time in the blocking of a program of expansion, the company at the end of the late war having cads plans for three new modern brick and glass buildings. In 19U5 president of the Edward Valves was approached by interests having real estate activities and political connections, who wanted to buy a portion of the company's property for housing. His answer wa3 "No." He revealed the program of ex-pans ion, in eluding a warehouse, machine shop and office building. Ke said the plans called for elimination of vibration, due to hammers, about which there had been complaint, and for landscaping, which would enhance the value of adjoining residential property. The result of the interviews was the passage of a city ordinance limiting trucks serving the plant to three-quarters of a ton, a if enforced, which it fortunately is not, would isolate the industry and throw out of employment the several hundred Lake county residents who work there.

-JBHHBHHHBHe Meanwhile a part of the Edward Valves land a strip along Ecmer-lee Ave. and lLJrd St. was rezoned to prevent the erection of any industrial structure while the building permit sought by tha company was held up a sufficient length of time to allow the park board to condemn a portion of the land for park purposes condemnation of seme six acres is now the subject of a suit pending in court which very naturally holds up the issuance of a permit for the warehouse, the first of the new buildings that would occupy the land in dispute. "Then, in an endeavor to settle the controversy, the board of directors of the company offered to deed approximately 2 acres along lii3rd St. for park or playground purposes.

That brings us virtually up-to-date, the park board a fortnight ago having tabled a motion to accept the donation. If this were an isolated instance it might not be significant cf a trend but East Chicago having previously forced tha Sinclair Oil Co. to build its fine new laboratories at Harvey and successfully resisting the attempts of the General American Car Co. to expand the facilities at its Euclid Ave there czn be no gainsaying th8 fact that the city no longer desires new industry or the enlargement cf present plants, 4KBBBHBBH The trouble with this attitude is that it can only result in driving some of the existing industries out of the city The Edward Valves unable to obtain a permit for a warehouse, much less build a machine shop and office be forced to seek a location elsewhere, very probably far from" the Calumet abandoning entiraly its East Chicago property or making it a secondary plant. And in the event tha Edward Valves Co.

decided to pull out of the unfriendly city of East Chicago altogether its present facilities might be acquired by or a half dozen concerns of a character that could easily cause the deterioration of property values in the neighborhood. Of course the 175 employes of Edward Valves are vitally concerned about the outcome of the negotiations between the company and the city as a great many own their hones in East Chicago, or neighboring cities children in school and would suffer financially if forced to uproot their and move to another community IHW-S-tBHHHr Without seeking to intercede on behalf of the Edward Valves although its seem3 to be entirely defensible, we feel constrained to point out that driving industry out of a city doas not by any manner of means add to its taxable wealth or the prosperity of its financial institutions and business houses, including the retail merchants. It is the reverse of the philosophy and ambitions of almost every other town or city in the country, and certainly the opposite of anything ever advocated by the chamber of commerce of any industrial community. In fact, when the story of East Chicago's fight to disgorge its industries is told to business men in New York, San Francisco or other cities of the country, they simply won't believe it. Nevertheless the story is bad advertising, especially for other cities of Lake county that do want to keep the industries they now have seek new ones.

LET'S EXPLORE YOUR MIND By A1JFHT EDWUO WIOOAM, D. fe. YOU'RE TELLING ME! By WILLIAM R1TT 2. DO PAKENT6 EXPEO A GIRL WHO HAS A' JOB TO DO MORE FOR THEM THAN A BOV WHO HAS A JOS? vesQnoD right out of CIO. If things get much tougher for them during this weird Presidential campaign they're prepared to turn the pugnacious Harry Bridges into a junior John L.

Lewis by making him chief of a new southpaw labor federation some 750,000 strong. So bitter is the feuding in CIO now that it has jet propelled itself far above Phil Murray's intense sentiment for Gen. Eisenhower and his blunt refusal to tolerate the pasting of CIO's label on even a single Wallace leaflet. If you look closely, you'll see that Henry Wallace is no longer" the Issue. It's now a matter of the national CIO office's power to discipline the pro-Communist unions which have acted as a centrally-directed coalition inside CIO.

The blunt fact is that Murray, backed by an enthusiastic uo of leaders of the big anti-Communist unions, is ready to suspend any CIO council and rush an administrator in to reorganize it the moment it begins its pro-Wallace campaign. This means left wingers will lose control in New York, Newark. Detroit, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and points west if possible. They will also lose such state CIO councils as the one in Florida. All these will be reorganized into a national grass roots drive for the CIO's candidate whoever he'll be -this falL Now this mnst be understood about the pro-Commie bloc.

It follows a line. And the men who Jay down that line have built up a certain following and reputation for those pro-Commie councils throughout the nation. Now the line-layers are faced not only with loss of the councils and here I hope I don't get too devious for you honest people but they are faced with repudiation by those revamped "councils of all their past left-wing propaganda. The pro-Commies would be isolated. They could no longer issue statements on global problems as well as the condition of local sewers in the name of 600,000 New Yorkers, or 300,000 Detroiters, etc.

They would have to talk only in the name of their lefty unions, many of which are tiny and politically labelled. Their propaganda would be futile. They just couldn't take that. And it's the opinion of most informed CIO chiefs that the left-wing bloc will split away before 1949. And then you'll have Europe's labor picture here a conservative union Federation (AFL); a middle militant group (CIO), and a pro-Communist "peoples' federation or whatever its name will be.

If "the split expected by right-wing chiefs like Murray and Reuther develops the sprawling left-wing United Electrical Workers Union reportedly would be the pivotal, poinf of the new strike-happy federation. From men who lead the opposition to the pro-Communist officials of that outfit I learn that there has been careful process of slipping from under the CIO label. For example there was not one official national CIO speaker at rhe union's last convention in Boston. For example some UE duespayers have seen new union membership car.ds which say UE and not UE CIO as in the past. For example the union's new manual for shop stewards virtually doesn't mention the CIO.

iL 3. W. 3. PO WE UUALLV LIKE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEV LIKE Pre A 9 MY WORD, JEEVES, WHAT'S UP? THE BRITISH are planning to cut meYnbership in their House of Lords from 740 to 300. This sounds like a new way of rendering out the lord.

Zadok Dumkopf wonders if the 340 ousted noblemen may apply for the dole. The new streamlined upper chamber may not look so impressive but it probably will get-more work done. As now constituted the House of Lords is crammed with so many dukes, royal and other-Wise, and marquises, earls, viscounts and barons that they must have a tough time finding a place to hang their coronets. Britons apparently knerw little about poker since they are so willing to give up their full house. If King George signs the bill to oust the excess peers, the unlucky noblemen will know what it's like to be ditched by a royal flush.

tit Putting the shears to all those peers and taking away their seats. Great Britain will be able to boast of not one but 340 Walking Men. Ira tot 00 t'l IV4I I DUll CO Answer to Question No. 1 1. Psychologist Henry Bowman says, (paraphrased) a boy or girl who is infatuated thinks of the other jjarty as a means of his own happiness.

A boy or girl in love wants to make the other happy. Love produces a feeling of Love is other-per-son-centered, infatuation is self-centered. Think it over, boys and girls! Answer to Question No. 2 2. Yes, usually.

Partly because, even to day, a woman is less in- dependent than a man. Many parents still believe a girl should be kept dependent on them and should help keep the home longer than a boy. Also, boys more often just walk out on their own, while parents feel a girl belongs in the home until she is mar ried. Answer to Question No. 3 3.

Partly so, but mostly because they are like us. 1 saw a cartoon of a man and woman gazing into a fish bowl and she said, "I'm so glad Wilbur, you like guppies. It makes a bond between us." Sound psychology. Liking the same things makes marriage a success much more than "sex" for example the UE News, the union's paper, seldom refers to the CIO. The next step will be withhold ing of the union's per capita tax levied by the national CIO office, it is predicted in CIO circles The technique here would be tc force Phil Murray to expel them and so martyrize the lefties.
