Britons To Remain ;! On Short Rations Food Subsidies To Continue In Britain London, Oct. 31.—(UP)*— There is good eating in all ot western Europe these days, but prime minis> ter Winston Churchill will have to keep the British people on short ra. tions for months and maybe years. They call it “austerity” over here. Austerity means one egg a week. There is milk, but no cream for healthy persons. The roast beef of old England is cut thin as paper and tastes like it, too. \ • is plenty of fish and it's good.\ The British have fruit now. But it is runty stuff except for the oranges and other imports which look and taste as good as any. Churchill will continue food sub 4 sidies. These are paid from tax revenues. They keep down the prices of basic foods such as meats' fats, milk and sugar. The sugar ration may come off. There seems to be plenty of it. Shops are full of unratioped and non-subsidiz. ed>foods such as imported cheeses,) tinned hams and the like. Such food is so expensive the average Briton cannot afford it. An English employe of the United Press who arranged for 200 sandwiches to be prepared for the staff on election night told the caterer to make all of them ham on white. “We don’t get ham very often,” he explained to a visitor who want' ed\ variety. • • Churchill told the voters they ■, were in for some more hard times. He did not promise much except better administration of government and less spending. But he did promise more housing. The British are dreadfully short of homes. Men and women who voted for Churchill realized they atill would have to wait two years or thorn for delivery of an automobile. They do not expect Churchill to find any more eggs for them soon in a magic hat. But if he can cut government costs deeply, Churchill may be able to the British the greatest boon of all—reduction of‘the sales taxes. They are terrific. The lowest rate Is 33-% percent and that applies to almost except food and very essentials of life. A tooth brush is taxed the minimum rate. On cothing the tax is 33-% and up. These wat time taxes were kept on \ by the labor government both sor 1 revenue and to discourage buying. Churchill took office with the British standard of living on the skids. He could not promise better living conditions at once. MThat he did promise right away was better government. GIRL SCOUTS' fCoatiaaed j From Page ing its mid-way point, the girls of the troops throughout the city are combining their time and talent to tell the stpry behind their organization. i Working with their leaders, pointing up the purpose, and attempting to convey the complete scope of the work to the public, . the Girl Scouts of this city- are aware of their limitations,' but conscious of the need for their organization in the community. That is their story, and they tell it graphically and well each day. A Oldest City Damascus is the oldest inhabited city in the world. ,i . . —_—-—— Trade in a Good (own - Decatui

17 Different Men Have Held Mayor Office Here

With the city election in its last week, the campaigns of both parties seem to be coming to some Jort of head, like a glass df beer—uzzy but refreshing. Probably the most notable thing abput this election is the comparative quiet in which it has been conducted. True, the mayoralty candidates have rung bells, discussed their platforms, and literally gone to the people, yet for the most part the ’’record’’ will have to be the conspicuous criterion for either man. And both incumbent Mayor Johp Mi Doan, who seeks reelectionl, and former Mayor John B. Stults, who seeks reinstatement, are experienced in this office. Both have had the benefit of a term, \ and neither, incidentally, will affect the tital statistic of the number of mayors this eity hag had —there haye been 17. The first mayor — James ,Tr Merryman—was elected on September 5, 1882, and the vast majority of his 16 successors have been Democrats. Indeed, but three Republicans have able to hurdle- the obstacles to the city’s highest office, including Mayor Doan* There have been no splinter candidates since the office was inaugurated 69 years ago. At first the mayor served twoyear terms, and a couple ot them, B. H. Debt and David D. Coffee, managed to get elected three times each; later on George Krick was elected to two four-year terms. \ I While past mayoralty races j Former Decatur Man Fined For Assault Donald Wayne Teeple, df Fort Wayne, formerly of Decatur, was fined 310 and costs in city court Tuesday after being cited there on a charge of assault apd battery. Teejple was brought to the city« court from Fort Wayne! by sheriff Bob Shraluka. The assault and battery affidavit was signed by Rosemary Teeple, \who alleged her husband struck her innumerable time? after dragging her out ot the car in front of his mother’s\ home. on U.S. 224, near the Wells county line. She was taken to a physician for treatment after-the incident, which occurred last week. The case wax first filed in Fort Waybe and Teeple was released on 3200 bond. Later it was venued to this court. In other court action —in Bluffton —Von Terrell of this city, was recently fineti 350 and costs for window peeping and another 350 and costs for resisting arrest.. He was also sentenced to six months on the state penal farm. Terrell was arrested at his home here by state, county and city police last week and returned to Bluffton for Molasses Rich tn Irea Molasses, a by-produet of the sugar Industry, is rich in Iron and experiments have shown that this iron is highly valuable for body use. Another contribution of molasses is its spicy flavor which makes especially well liked in ginger bread and spiced cakes. .

have been marked with rlftgihg oratory, parades, and ad o<Jcasional brawl or two, the presebl election is pretty well sub* dsed by its heeding the Marquis of Queensbury rules. At least that’s the picture in the last week of campaigning—on the HUrface. As is so true of rujnors, out.'of the side of the m<>uth guesses, end the “did you hour ...” approaches are . being utilized.

I GOV. SCRICKER (Continued From Pace O»ie> “home-rule" bill allows welfare financing from the state general fund and sets up an 8020 formula for state-county burdens. “The action of congress has now completely restored the situation to the status quo as it was before the 1951 session,” Schricker said/‘Therefore, why seek to make plans for a contingency, the happening of which is remote, if not impossible?" The governor said that under any circumstance, “the financial integrity of the state must be preserved." “In the event an emergency should arise which would involve the loss of federal funds to the state of Indiana during the remainder of my administration,” he said, “I will unhesitatingly call a special session of the general assembly to impose the necessary taxes with which t|o meet the state's increased obligations." Schricker said he sees no merit in changing the formula of reimbursement, now on a 80-40 basis. i xi IB I.* 1 W| JZ TAYLOR and Nicky Hilton may tot get along too weU together, mt apparently she and her father-n-law Conrad Hilton are still good riends as they dance together in i New York hotel.

“Even if there were a positive need for the hew 80-20 formula,” he said,""this bill is defective in rot solving the question of raising the necessary revenues to meet the assumed contingency.” The governor said Indiana’s general fund balance would be drained to less than 12,000,000 on June 30, 1953, if,l federal aid again! should be cut off—a situation he considers almost impossible— and the state tried to pay all welfare costs. “This would be disastrous, to say the least,” he said. < Blinded la War Fifteen hundred American servicemen lost their light during World War 11.
