Shows Progress In Soil Conservation Exhibit Map Shows Progress In Year An exhibit map at the Decatur flower show tn the auditorium of the Decptur public library Saturday showed the progress made by the Adams county soil conservation district formed this year, county agent L. E. Archbold pointed out today. •More than 65 farms, located in 11 townships, are now cooperating with the directors and farm planner in this district. The purpose of the district is to help the farmers plan grass waterways, contour plowing, and other conservation measures designed to save the soil. Dirt washed off farms not only decreases the value of the

farm itself, but clogs drainage ditches, muddies rivers, and leads to large, uncontrolled floods. Most of the rough land susceptible to erosion in Adams county lies In the areas draining into the Wabash. St. Mary's and Blue Creek. These are the areas in which farmers are now. participating in the program, as demonstrated by the map exMbit. The Adams county soil conservation district is one of more than 60 set up in Indiana under state and federal laws. It was formed here early last year by an election in which 60 per cent of the farmers owning more than ten acres in Adams county took part. Os the five directors for Adams county, two. Ben Gerke of Union township ami Ivan Huser of Hartford township, were appointed by the state directors. The other three, Ben tMaxelin of Monroe townshipr Herman Bulmahn as Root township, and Richard Schuemann of Preble township, were elected by the farmers of Adams county last summer. Coordinating the field work and available for consultation with farmers having conservation problems is Cletus Glllman, farm planner tor this district.

French Planes Wipe Out Two Rebel Bases 40,000 Vietminh Troops Massing Closer To Hanoi HANOI, (INS) Americanmade French warplanes wiped out two big rebel bases only* eight miles from the prize target city of Hanoi today but the French high command warned that more than 40,000 Vietminh troops are massing near the northern Indo-China capital. The French command announced in Saigon shortly after the arrival of new commander-in-chief Gen. Paul Ely that 10,000 Vietminh troops from fallen Dienbienphu were now massed 37 miles north of Hanoi at the rim of the lied River Delta defenses. Another 30.000 still were pouring down the Red and Black river valleys towards Hanoi, center of French delta defenses. Other formations also were announced wheeling into attack position despite a constant bombing of roads by French war planes. Ely and his aide. Gen. (Raoul Salan, got a few' hours sleep after their long plane journey from Paris and then held a series of urgent conferences with military and civil authorities in Saigon. They faced the grim news that several enemy battalions — possibly 2,000 to 3,000 men —had invaded neighboring Laos state after capturing the French bastion of Dienbienphu in northwestern Vietnam state 180 miles west of Hanoi. General Ely broadcast a message to the troops praising his predecessors for their “immense effort” and warning that a serious threat existed because of the increased aid the Vietminh was getting from "the Communist powers,” meaning undoubtedly China and Russia. The air strikes eight miles east of Hanoi could be heard in the city. The French high command said that the delayed action bombs destroyed the bases “one hundred percent” and that infantrymen killed 11 Vietminh soldiers in mopping up after the bombing which could be heard in Hanoi. A French spokesman said that the bases in the Senb area inside the French Red River Delta defenses were plastered with B 0 tons of bombs by -35 B-26’s and Corsair fighters. Infantrymen rushing ..into the series of underground shelters and trenches found open craters filled with bodies of “many” enemy dead. The bases were part of activity by enemy irregulars working for the day when Communist-led Vietminh divisions wheeling eastward from fallen Dienbienphu open a big offensive against the French defenders of the "rice bowl” area of northern Indo-China. .The victorious regular Vietminh divisions that* toppled Dienbienphu May 7 now are as close as ,45 miles from Hanoi on the southwest and 85 miles on the northwest approaches. The Vietminh lost another 30 men in an unsuccessful 12-hour attack on a position held by' Vietnamese Catholic militiamen at a point 25 miles west of Hanoi. Local sweeps against other rebel leases in the delta area were made. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, trv a Democra* Want Add.

New Ceramic Tile Block Is Developed New Tile Block Is Impervious To Heat MARTINSVILLE, tad. (INS) — Emmett Poston, president of the .Martinsville Brick company, has developed a new ceramic tile block, impervious to heat, which he believes may be used extensively for air ida ne runways and highway constriction. Toston, who also has a brick company at Springfield, 111., said if experimental teste now under way at Bhiemtheuthal Field near Wilmington, S.

Thomas Fleming, general manager of the iMartlaauille Brick company, said the new material may be laid cheaper than concrete, and that the tile, besides being beat resistant, also will outwear concrete. The present block, manufactured by the Poston Brick and Concrete Products company at Springfield, measures eight inches square by tour inches thick. They are being laid for testing purposes with three-elghth-inch reinforcing bards and cement grout. The need for heat-resistant tile has been emphasised by the air force, which recently released a report indicating that the terrific beat produced by the larger jet engines, causes disintegration of
