The ordnance plant Is spread, over a 23-square-mile area and damage was confined to the group of, buildings constituting a shell assembly line. Only the single building was destroyed. Damage to the others came from debris flying. through their roofs Freight cars, on the siding also were damaged slightly. The explosion wax heard and felt for a radius of 100 miles. Communities as far north as Chicago sought explanation for the “quake’’ > from police and fire departments. Persona living closer to tbe plant i reported that a smdlier explosion preceded the big blast and It was . believed possible that a large shell: may have exploded setting off others. Morale at the plant remained ; high, army oficers reported, and i production was unhampered yes-' terday in the feeder assembly line, j “This is just one of those things.” | One worttman said “In a war. some are killed one place, some another."

Stress Physical Fitness During Summer Program Activities Planned Os Older Persons Os This Community Decatur’s playground — Worthman Field—located on Adams and Thirteenth streets, will officially open the summer season next Monday. Deane Dorwin and Mixa Eleanor Pumphrey of the Decatur junior-; •enior high school coaching and physical education staff, will again serve as playground supervisors and lead organization of the various game* and recreation leagues. This year recreation at the field Is to find a new keynote, that of physical fitness, stressed so heavily , by national defense leaders. War time has changed the accent from purely leisure time activity to the desire for each person, inan. woman and child, to do his bit toward national defense. The program of recreation, after getting in full swing, will include softliall, basebail, horseshoe, tennis. and other sportsAdult facilities will be available for both twilight and night recreation. In the form of the above as well as badminton and others. The dry light and street departments, school board, softball association. service and civic clubs of the city have united in sponsoring the activities at the field this summer. Any adult group which wishes to organize for tennis, horseshoe or twilight softball or baseball may make arrangements to use the ■ Worthman Field fadlitles by conI tacting either Mr. Dorwin or Miss Pumphrey. I resw-etywil The supervisors and field sponsors stressed the fact that the field is maintained especially (or the use of citizens of this community and extended a special invitation to all persons to use it and Its facilities. Girls may find badminton, aerial darts, table tennis, horseshoe, croquet. tmsketliall, voUeybail, jacks, and other games. For the entertainment of the younger kiddiea. there wll Ibe swings, merry-ground, teeters. sandbox, etc. McMillen Softball Team Winner Friday The McMillen softball team of ' this city defeated the Kennedy I Kits, northeastern Ohio chantI pions, by a 4 to 2 score Friday etuning at Van Wert. Ohio. McLain did the hurling for the Decatur team. Home runs were blasted by McLain and Porter. U. S. farmers in 1940 owned 1,-' 850,000 motor vehicles, of which 4.500,000 were automobiles and I 1.250.000 were motor trucks.

* COUNTY AGENT’S *1 | COLUMN j Sorghum molasses will flow this fall In larger quantities than for , years, and every sorghum mill in j the state will lie worked to capacity to squeeze the sweet juice from the cane to replace short sugar xupplij**. If inquiries being received by Purdue university agronomist* are any indication. Fortunately sweet Horhume <>:•: sorgo varieties commonly grown for forage or silage purposes are the same varieties from which sorghum molasses >a made. Atlas j sorgo, widely grown in the south-! ern two-third* of the state, has been extensively used for moiass- i ,< s making for several years. One grower sold 3.000 gallons of molasses made from a field of Atias not needed for silage in 1940, it was reported. Earlier varieties used in northern Indiana and equally satisfactory are the black amber, early sumac, ieoti red and norkan. For ; many years, strains of tile orange have been used in small farm ; patches for molasses production. 1 Rox (waconla) orange Is regarded today as one of the l>est molasse* varieties. All of these varieties are adapt-1 <-d to Indiana conditions. They are hot season crops, and should not I lie plated until the noU Is warmer than corn requires. From five to eight pounds per acre are usually planted in 34 to 42-inch rows. This rate *hould give a plant every two to three Inches. Cultivation is the | same as for corn. The acreage of these sorghume planted for forage and silage will enable many Hoosier families to supplement sugar supplies with sorghum molasses by reserving a small strip for that use. Others in proximity of sorghpm mill* are expected to make special plantings ■ for molasses production. Railroad expenditures for main-; tenance of equipment, tracks and ' other facilities totaled *1.112,0*2,-! 003 In 1940, an increase of 6.8 per-, cent over 1939. o Tiwn Gets Own Fire Engin* Pownai, Vt <UP» This town' of 1.400 persons, which since pre- < Revolutionary days has depended OB nearby Williamstown.
