8 l'he Terre Haute Tribune Friday, January 5, 1962. County Fair Body Endorses Pari-Mutuels INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. The Indiana Association of County and District Fairs honored its outstanding expositions and reversed its position on mutuel betting at its annual convention Thursday. The St. Joseph County 4-H Fair was chosen as the grand champion fair of 1961.

Other finalists in the judging were the Bartholomew and Grant County 4-H Club fairs and the Fayette County Fair. By voice vote and without dissent the association adopted a resolution advocating legislation by the 1963 General Assembly to legalize pari-mutuel betting at horse racing tracks. The officers were instructed to use the influence in that direction. Harness racing is a mainstay of several large fairs, but state law prohibits betting. The association two years ago opposed a proposal to legalize on-track betting, largely because of opposition from 4-H Club fairs.

However, Secretary-Treasurer Robert L. Barnet of Muncie said sentiment shifted because of a feeling that betting would solve problems of housing bigger and more diverse 4-H exhibits at the fairs. Under the plan proposed by the association, the Indiana State Fair and Hoosier county fairs would receive a percentage of the pari-mutuel take. In turn, a portion of this would be earmarked for development of the 4-H program. The percentage breakdown was not announced.

A proposal to give non-voting seats on the board of directors to the dean of agriculture at Purdue University and presidents of the State Fair Board, Indiana Association of County Agricultural Agents and Indiana Trotting and Pacing Horse Association was rejected. Dr D. E. Mangas of Portland moved up from vice president to president, succeeding Edward Harvey of Princeton, who was elected director at large. Donald Alexander of Rushville was named vice president, and Barnet was re-elected secretary- treasurer.

S. WASHINGTON, Jan. Removal of diplomatic and economic sanctions against the Dominican Republic has triggered quick action to relieve tho Caribbean ailing economy. A vote by the council of the Organization of American States Thursday to remove sanctions cleared the way for an immediate increase in the amount of sugar which the United States at high the Dominican Republic. The vote was 20-0 with Cuba abstaining on grounds that removal of sanctions was a U.

About 400 residents of Somerset and the surrounding area, scheduled to be uprooted from their homes to make room for the Mississinewa Reservoir, were informed Thursday that the government does not relocate entire communities and cannot sign a contract with an unincorporated town. The residents met with officials of the Army Corps of Engineers, Indiana Flood Control and Water Resources Commission and Rep. J. Edward Roush, at a public hearing. A citizens study group considering relocating the community as a whole were told that the federal government does not move a town on such a basis.

Only public facilities are relo- cated by the federal government. Since Somerset is an unincorporated community, the residents were also told that the government cannot sign a conract with them. In addition to Somerset, the hamlets of Red Bridge, Riverside, Maple Grove and Pearson Mill are in the area which will be acquired for the reservoir. Also several houses at Peoria, site of the dam. will be affected.
