Mystery still surrounds the disappearance of about $300,00b of the “blood money’’, for the boy had been murdered before Hall collected the ransom. Someone has the cash, or knows where it is hidden.

The state highway commission has received bids on replacing 22 j of the state’s most dangerous narrow bridges in the state highway system. When the job is completed, the bridge rebuilding program should be extended to the less hazardous type, as for example the span on U. S. highway 27 near the Allen- county line. In time all the narrow bridges should be removed and safe structures erected in their place. Favors Seaway:— Speaking in Ottawa,, President Eisenhower said that joint development of the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes waterway by the United States and Canada is inevitable.

CROP Campaign In County Next Week Annual Campaign To Help Hungry; Needy This year again the people of Adams county will have an opportunity to share their harvests and income with others of the world who are hungry, ill, poverty stricken and in. dire need. November 28, 24 and 25 there will he\ approximately 300 volunteer representatives of CROP (Christian ryral overseas program) visiting the rural homes of the county to receive contributions of wheat, corn, soybeans or cash which will restore life, faith ana hope, help build peace and friendship around the world- Many churches of the county will receive collections fur CROP whereby urban families may also contribute to the project. Gifts through CROP help people to help themselves by providing food, seeds, tools and animals. CROP gifts are distributed on ‘he basis of need. Church workers investigate and give gifts as com-, ing from Christian donors who care. American farm folks, churches, service groups established CROP in 1947. In five years the collections have totaled the 'equivalent in food and fiber of sl2 million at a weight of over 200 . million pounds. , The Adams county crop committee is made up of the county and township chairmen. The Re*'. John D. Mishler is county chairman and the following are tiie township chairmen: +— Jefferson Mrs. Brayton Pyle; Wablash, Harvey Lehman; Hartford, the Rev. Robert Schrock; French, Palin 3 ? Moser; 'Monroe, Sylvan Hebegger; St. Mary’s, Ermil Shifferly; Wash- ' Ington, Eugene Arnold; Kirkland. Evan Yake; Preble, the Rev. H. E. Settlage, co-chairman. Win. Kruetzman; Union, Robert Burger. Two townships are now set up with chairmen. Roscoe Clendenin? of the Decatnr First State Bank is serving as countr treasurer. The rural youth of the county are assisting in the pick-up. o; commodity gifts in - St. Mary‘S.Monroe, Kirkland, Preble, Root and Blue Creek townships. The Indiana Farm Bureau has again endorsed the CROP program and in the county the ministerial association has given its approval. The opportunity tor men of eve-y faith and those of no religious affiliation to share with others of physical need regardless of race.

creed or status of life is unique. Being distributed through religious agencies In the name of Jesus Christ, the gifts bring opportunities to combat communism and bring peace among nations. • This year again Indiana CROP is sponsoring “Plows For India ” This was first done in 1952 when SIO,OOO was turned over to the Allahabad agricultural institute in the united provinces of India for the purchase of $50,000 worth of surplus (new) war reparations machinery from Germany. Allahabad is an interdenominational’}' sponsored agricultural missions institute. It Is one of the largest privately operated institutes in cUlural school with an expanding extension service. Here the Shabash steel plow is baing manufactured with native labor and steel The Shabash plow, bullock-drawn, ' replacing the wooden forked implement, enables the Indian farmer to cultivate three times as much land and better, thus multiplying the production of food. From the farmers in Indiana to the farthers in India, 5 bushels of corn or\4 bushels of wheat or 3 bushels of soybeans equal a Shabash plow or about the cost of $7.50 IFach Indian farmer would invest $3.25 in his plow. These together include -manufacture, distributfojn and agricultural training, with the farmers of both countries sharing. The Indiana CROP goal of S6O - 000 includes $20,000 for “Plows For-India” and $40,000 for overseas foodstuffs. The Adams county goal-set by the county committee is SISOO. Each 4 bushels of corn would provide one large bowl of relief cereal per day for (wo years: eacli 4 bushels of wheat would provide M loaf of Italian bread eacn day for one year; each four bushsis of soybeans would provide 3;x bowls of sby-fiake cereal each day for a year. As representatives of CROP canvass the rural areas the name, amount of contribution and church affiliation of each contributor will be recorded.' Then those denominations desiring to channel their contributions through their own relief agencies may' do so. The Lutheran and >Mennonite grouys have asked that their relief agencies handle their gifts to-CROP, which will be thus arranged. Last year some of the places’ where CROP sent assistance wrs Palestine. Korea, India, Germany, France, Pakistan, Greece bnd otlh ers. Although CROP is mainly a rural project, many urban peopi? share in the need of hungry and
