This well known business landmark has been purchased by Carl and Martin Kipfer and Howard Habegger, the latter to be manager of the elevator and feedmill. An elevatbr is an important cog in the business life of a community and it is pleasing to note that the new owners will continue to operate the Monroe plant on the same extensive scale as that carried on by the Burk management.

There was speculation here that, the United States may agree conditionally to the meeting in Berlin. The IT. S. state department has indicated those conditions would include assurances that Germany and Austria be on the agenda of the proposed foreign ministers conference. It also appeared almost certain that a Big Four meeting, if held, could not' be called before midJanuary because of the French political i situation and France’s mid-December presidential election. Each of the three principals will enter Friday’s opening conference session with a diplomatic shopping list with these items in top priority: Churchill—a Big Four conference —at the highest level if possible—to achieve his cherished dream of crowning his career with a settlement of the cold war or achieving a modus yivendi which will enable the east and west to live in peace. Laniel -a Hig Four conference, with settlment of the long and costly Indochina war high on its agenda; assurances from the United States that U, S. troops remain in Europe to guarantee against resurgent German militarism if France approves the European army plan. ■ , \ Eisenhower— early} ratification by France of the European army plan and its provisions for rearming 500,000 West Germans as the key to America’s planning for West Europe's defense.

Sbhurger, president of the county lawyers' group. Schurger indicated the effects of the new code, coming into effect around the first of the year, would be great, although he said it would be difficult to point out specific examples. The law group was honored by one of the few appearances of Judge Myles F. Parrish, who delayed a divorce trial for 30 minutes to make a few remarks to the barrister’s, revealed Schurger. The local lawyer said the group would meet next on February 3, foregoing meetings between times because of the tax season coming up.
