Along with one legal holiday, Columbus Day, October has a full calendar of civic events. Next Monday the annual banquet for the adult 4-H leaders will be given, followed by the Fish Fry on Oct. 22, and the big Haloween celebration on Oct. 30. Fall activities are in full sway. ' • | -—0- -0 > 1 Deposits in the First State Bank have increased to $12,350,000, denoting a strong financial condition in ’this community. Approxijmatoly <5 percent of the' total is j- represented in time deposits. This community is enjoying high prosperity with business and employment at; a high peak. 0 0 . In our neighboring county of Wells thje Community 1 Chest, similar to Decatur’s Community Fundi is operated on a county-wide bas- ; is. Budgets for local activities and all drives for .state and national gencies are incorporated into the Wells County Community Fund. Their budget is $16,000, compared to Decatur’s 210,200. Campaigns to raise these civic funds will be launched next week. ■ o_ —o 'I ■ Many theories have been offer-- - ed as to why the Russians have not attacked and overrun Western / Europe.- One of these is nos so widely known. It is that Russia’s lahk of a modefn railroad system has made invasion too risky. Russia is larger ,thga Jh£ United States in both population ahd land, area—yet she has but 78,000 miles railroad as compared w;ith our 223,500 miles. Moreover. /track gauge is not standardized—which means that goods frequently must be unloaded and reloaded at a heavy cost in time and ef-fort-during a long\trip. Actually, say some experts, the Soviet raik Toads are about in the same shape , as burs were 75 years ago. No doubt Russia is working hard to make up her inadequacies in this •field—but that is a matter that can’t be attended to overnight. It demands human and material resources of high caliber, and in great quantity. The American railroad system is the world’s ''i •: .■ ' • ' : P

best The Iron Horsfe has his competitors, but it still pulls the big- ; gest load. 0 0 Decatur’s new 4,200 K.W. diesel enginej power plant is being tested and soon will be in operation. It will manufacture electricity used In this city and community and distributed by our ii \ * muncipal utility. This production capacity is in addition to the 8,000 ( K.W. turbine facilities at the Third street generating plant and \ rounds out an electric load suffi- \; cient for current demands. The stand-by contract with the Indi-ana-Michigan Company has expired, but the high tension line running £rom the electric plant to the I-M terminal west of the city still stands. While it is admitted that maintaining this stand-by ( service is costly, it would be prudent to have an agreement with the company to furnish the city electric power in the event of a breakdown at either one of the 1 local utilities. Dual electric lines would be good insurance against a shut-down in the event of a blow-up at either one of our generating plants. 0 0 The Death Penalty:— The body of little Bobby Greenlease, jrictim of kidnapers has . Jbjen found. He was shot to death by his abductors. The boy’s multi-millionaire father, Robert C. Greenlease of Kliisas City, Mo., had already paid the demanded $600,000 ransom. Kidnaping is the most heinous of all -crimes. To shoot a boy in T the back as the kidnaper did with the Greenlease child, makes the crime a diabolical act that leads .the criminal record. Not since the Lindberg kidnaping and murder of the infant child of the famous couple has the country been so incensed against kidnaping anh kidnapers. The federal law, known as the Lindberg law, provides a death penalty for murder in a kidnaping case. Let the guilty in the Greenlease case be brought to court and justice .done. I I .1.1! .11—

New Effort To Settle Dispute Over Trieste United States And Britain Propose To Withdraw Troops WASHINGTON — The United States and Britain today proposed withdrawing their troops from Trieste in a new effort to settle the Italian-Yugoslavian dispute over the Adriatic area. Occupation of Zone A in Trieste w-ould be turned ovfef to Italy “at the earliest practicable date.” Officials said this transfer probably could take place in a matter of weeks or perhaps a few months. Zone B would continue to be occupied by Yugoslavia. Italy and Yugoslavia then would be free to settle the dispute finally-. The U.S. — British position was outlined in notes delivered to Ita.y and Yugoslavia. In a joint statement released here and in London, the United States and Britain said they have tried to reach agreement withother signatories to the Italian peace treaty for setting up a permanent regime for the free territory of Trieste. However, the joint \ statement said it has been impossible to reach agreement on establishing the free territory envisioned. The jednt statement said the United State's and Britain have tried to get Italy and Yugoslavia to settle the controversial problem themselves but “unfortunately it was not possible to find a solution acceptable to both sides.” The statement said the two governments "see no alternative but to bring to an end the present unsatisfactory situation” under which the territory of Trieste is divided into Zones A and B. ♦ “They (the United States and Britain) have therefore decided t.i terminate the 4 Allied •military government, to withdraw their troops, and having in mind the predominantly Italian character of Zone A to relinquish the administration of that zone to the Italian government,” the statement said. The United States and Britain keep about 6,000 troops in their zone. After the announced transfer of the occupation to Italy i,s carried out, officials said the Italian government will keep its own tyoops in Trieste. -Officials said neither Yugoslavia npr Italy is expected to be completely satisfied with tho action. - ’ i ' Trade in a Good Town — Decatur i
