Schafer Store was established. Many improvements were planned during the war.years to better the appearance and service of the store. These improvements were ultimately realized in 1948, when the present modern store front was installed. A basement furniture department was opened and all departments were modernized. "Today, the store occupies the entire building, with three sales floors and a warehouse floor. It is one of the most modern stores of its type in the state. The store has been departmentized into five major departments, for the convenience of shoppers. These are, hardware and home furnishings; china, glassware and silverware; home appliances; phonograph records and radios; furniture and rugs. Continuing the policy of making the store an easier and more pleasant place in which to shop, a revision of present merchandise lines and addition of new ones, are now in the planning stage, Daniel B. Schafer, store manager and grandson ot the store's founder, stated. s In observance of its 75th anniversary, a store-wide sale is announced in today's edition of this newspaper.

Reni Local Option Opposed By Mayors Buck-Passing Seen By Indiana Mayors Indianapolis, Mar. 29 — (UP) — Some Indiana mayors—both Republicans and Democrats—said today they would be mighty displeased if congress throws the hot po.ato of rent control into the laps of the cities. Asked what they would do it the “local opeion’ 4 rent control bill passed congress, most mayors in a cross-section survey said they liadn’t made up their minds pending further study. But some were outspokenly critical, including the mayors of Vincennes. Muncie and Richmond. The mayors spoke as a compromise bill for a 15-month extension of rent controls neared a final showdown in Washington. The bjll as it now stands would give cities the right to remove rent controls with the approval of the governor. Republican Mayor Lester E. Meadows of Richmond said he was “bitterly against dumping this in the mayors’ laps.” “It looks like congress has a job it don't want to do and is scared to do,” Meadows said. “Unless it is compulsory I will have nothing to do with it. I don't think it is a mayor’s job. It will be suicide for any mayor to monkey with this stuff.” Meadows said he was sending a telegram to U. S. Sen. William E. Jenner, R„ Ind., setting forth his views. Vincennes Mayor William L. Betz, a Democrat, had a somewhat similar view. “It looks like a buck-passing proposition to me,” he said. “There are a lot of oti er things about home rule we would rather have than rent control. Why, f have to wear asbestos gloves all the time to handle problems I already have. What will it be if we get this, too?” Mayor Lester E. Holloway of Muncie, also a Democrat, said it would “put mayors on the spot." “1 don't appreciate being there," he added. Both Be z and Hol’oway said they didn't know, however, what their cities > wouli. do if the bill passed. Mayor James H. Maguire, R.,
