BALL BROTHERS GIVE $55,000 New Arts Building At Ball State College Is Now Assured ludiauapolla. Mar. ID. fU.PJ hnmediate construction of »n arts building at Ball Statu Teachers college was assured today following acceptance of a gift of 655,000 from the Ball Brothers company of Muncie. Tho $56,000 will make up tho difference between funds previously available and the amount needed. Trustee* of the Teachers college appropriated $259,000 for the building and the federal government made a public works grant of $95,000. When bids were opened, how ever, it was found that the low bid was upproximately $50,000 less than the amount available. Acceptance of the Ball Brothers gift was approved at a meeting of the trustees here late yesterday. Had not tiie offer been made work would have been delayed several months. Trustees decided to let contracts for the building at a cost not to exceed $120,325. Provisions was made by the Ball Brothers for the trustees to apply for an additional grant of $16,000 from the PWA. John Heller. Decatur, chairman of the board of trustees, announced that bids for construction of a teacher training building at Indiana State Teachers college would be readvertised and opened at the Columbia Club here April !'. The original bids received were too high. 0 -.....— * The People’s Voice | Thia column for the use of our readers wno wlah to make auggeatlona for the general good or diecusa questions of Interest.

March 4. last. After being denied the use of the Moose hall a private home was engaged and the lecture heard by quite a few people Being among those present I did not see any of the staff of The De catur Daily Democrat, nor did 1 ’ hear anything that would create religious prejudice or ill will in the heart of any reasonable person. j The public was permitted to i read a false and very damaging edi- ] torial in the Tuesday. March 6tli ; issue of your paper, of which the following is an extract: ’’Outsiders coming in with the ’ sole purpose of creating-il] will and | religious prejudice have no place here and every loyal citizen should I be ready to oppose such tactics.’’ I The above excerpt is very true if such a condition existed, but any j honest person who has ever heard I Judge Rutherford speak or has i read any of his literature knows I that it would have no application ' to him or his followers. Mr. Editor, in all due respect. I may 1 ask how you reached such , a decision? Did you investigate j the charges made against these * people? 7;> make and publish a decision on such an important matter without hearing both sides is a very serious responsibility. Why not let these people worship God according to the dictates of their conscience? The Constitution of the United States of Amtrica. the best one ever written by man, gives every man this right. Ix-t the people hear what Jehovah's witneses have to say if they care to and then nse their own judgement. Surely we are not going to return to the gag and bludgeon method of suppression used in the Middle Ages. No group of men have the right to take the responsibility of judging what the people shall hear and read as long as such is not degrading. Let every man decide for himself so he can be responsible for his actions. In closing may I ask everyone who reads this letter to read the record of Clirisi’s ministry con-< tained in__tho New Testament. After reading this imagine Jesus Christ in any of our fair cities at this time preaching the things He did at His first advent. Do you know what would happen? Some influential person would call the sheriff to order Him out of town. Sincerely yours. Clyde Steele.
