Mr. Knothe said in part: ‘‘According to the latest statistics the Missoni I synod is conducting 1,390 Christian day schools, with 81,000 children in attendance and 2,250 persons teaching them. This necessitates an investment cf millions of dollars in property and annual expense running into thousands. “Why do we do this? We believe with the majority of modern educators that the children and people of today are not getting enough religion. Teac.i---j ers and superintendents of. schools have been trying to find ways and means for more and better Christian training. “We believe that this problem is solved by the institution of a Christian parochial day school. We believe that this institution 'makes for better citizenship. Ed Liechty, of Berne, attended the Country Club opening here last evening.

TWO HUNDRED PERSONS ATTEND OPENING EVENT (COXTIXI ED FROM PAGE OXE) eommuinty spirit was manifest on -,'erv Jnnd. Mr. Schafer first presented Mr. Schulte. The honored guest stated tl’.at he was not mistaken in his impression that Decatur wanted a country club and that the large gathering present proved his convictions. He stated that he did not hope to make a great financial success of the club house, but that he never undertook anything that failed and that lie, with the help and cooperation and membership of the Decatur people. would not let the Country club fail. He stated that the “club house is yours and we want you to enjoy it. We will carry out our original plan of giving you one of the finest chib houses and golf courses in this section of the state and all we want is your cooperation.” French Quinn Responds French Quinn responded for the club membership and accepted the responsibility of extending the wholehearted cooperation of the board of directors and( individual members. Mr. Quinn iu his acceptance speech told of the many splendid things of which Decatur had and was proud of, and how the opening of the Country club was a fitting climax to the development of the community. He thanked Mr. Schulte for making it possible to enjoy such surroundings and conveniences and placed at the disposal of ail who wished to become members of the Country club. Mrs. Chalmer Porter was called on to ‘pe'ik for the women and cleverly told how the women of Decatur could enjoy the Country dub. She told of plans for bridge parties, teas and ■ dances which w’ouid be given > throughout the year, with a monthly, committee in charge of each event. She also, invited the women to follow their husbands in taking up golf, told of its physical advantages and asked that the lady members lend , every effort to help make the place one cf enjoyment an drecreation. Attorney C. J. Lutz spoke for the men and painted a picture of the many happy things in store for the club membership. He urged the young men. married men and older men to support the Decatur Country club by joining. He mentioned the advantages of joining now', while the mnibership roster was still open and how membership in the organization would be highly prized a few years from now. Mr. Lutz, also, made the presentation speech, presenting Mr. and Mrs. Schulte with a beautiful silver tea service as a gift of appreciation from the club membership to them for what they had done for Decatur. He kindly asked that it be accepted as a token of good-will from i the people of this community and as a pledge of their sincerity to them. I The gift was accepted by Mr. and . Mrs. Schulte and they expressed their uppreoiation of the sentiment ! shown by the club membership. Mr. Schafer told of plans under way for holding special days at the club house and of inviting golfers from other nearby cities to participate in golf tournaments. InvitaI tions will more than likely be extended to the Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Van Wert and Portland golf clubs. Mr. Roy Craig, manager of the club was introduced. He invited the members to use the course and stated Hjat everything possible would'be done for the convenienve of their guests. Following the banquht and program. the tables were cleared from .he banquet room and dancing was enjoyed.

Porter and Miss Mildred Niblick. milking arrangements, for the ladies’ part in the program and with H. J. Yager, chairman of the committee for the men. composed of F. M. Schirmeyer ami Herman Myers. EARLY START OF CITY MANAGER REGIME SOUGHT (COXTIXI ED FROM PAGE ONE) plan in the referendum was regarded today as a victory for the leading citizens of Indianapolis, men and I women who ordinarily take no interest in politics, but in the present 1 situation worked side by side for months to remove the causes they believed had smirched the city’s name. Professional politicians were routtd completely. Although they were regarded as controlling negro wards of the city, even there the city manager plan won by a three-to-one vote and elsewher it won by as high as nine to one. The official vote for all precincts as unofficially tabulated today gave the city manager plan a majority of five to one. The vote was: For, 53.93 G; against, 9.860.

When the change is made, Mayor John L. Duvall, the city council and all civil departments of the city will go out and a new charter will govern. providing for a city commission of seven members who will appoint a city manager, city clerk, and director of the legal department. The city commissioners are elected. It is claimed that the plan will remove politics from the city government and place it on a business basis.
