B It will be thirty years next Janluary that foundations were built for the first General Electric building In this city Duiing the ensuing spring the building was completed and by early summer the plant was in operation It was a bu«y year and marked a great step in the progress of Decatur. the beginning of an expulsion program that has not ceased Decatur Is recognised as one of the most stable and fortuaate cities of its size in the country. —~O —• — Desert Riches: Areas of the world once the least valued are turning up as unsuspei ted sources of wealth.

Even that would not have meant anything to such trouble makers as Hitler, who hud respect for ndthir treaty nor law But many of the ills of the world might never have happened If all nations held their treaties to be a< sacred as their own laws and ( 11.414)111 4.
