Warns Os Growing Strength Os Drys Warning Is Given By Beverage Board INDIANAPOLIS’ (INS) — A member of the Indiana alcoholic beverage commission commented today that the strength disclosed by the "drys” in the futile fight over a local option measure should be a warning to the liquor industry to police its ranks. Leo Stemle, of Jasper, a former state senator, was referring to bouse bill 568, which provided that 51 percent of the freeholders (later changed to voters) of a township or precinct could prevent the issuance es a retail liquor permit. The measure was defeated after a legislative fight Stemle said: “It's up to the people in the industry to keep their bouse ia order or the privilege might in some future time be taken from them.” Meanwhile, ABC prosecutor Glenn Funk said today that he and Marton county prosecutor John G. Tinder are cooperating on a check of the county’s 1300 permit holders te see if any of them also hold federal gaming stamps. Funk said the survey is in apticipation of the July 1 date when a new atate law prohibiting holders of liquor permits from possessing gambling stamps becomes effective. Funk said the late Frank Fairchild, former prosecutor of Marton county, also made such a check last fall. Fairchild found four liquor permit holders who also had gaming stamps at that time, but a teat ease went in favor of the dtel holder. However, the new law was formulated to cover this situation. Indiana residents now hold 868 federal gambling stamps, of which about 350 are in Marton county.

Du Poufs Earnings Highest In History 12 Percent Above Previous High Year WILMINGTON. Dei. (INS) — E. I. do Pont de Nemours A Co. has reported the greatest earnings in its history for 1954, over 12 percent more than in the previous peak year of 1950. Craford H. Greenewalt, president, said in the annual report to stockholders Thursday that the record profits were made possible by the elimination of the excess profits tax. While earnings from du Pont sources before taxes declined $1.28 a common share from the previous rear to 110.81 a share, “due chiefly to lower sales volume and decreased selling prices," earnings after taxes rose to the record high of 85.30 a share from $3.31 in 1953. Greenewalt reported consolidated net income for 1954, including dividends from General Motors Corp, rose to a record $344,386,015, or $7.33 a share, from $235,565,266, or $4.94 a share, in 1953, and compared with the previous peak earnings $307,600,000 or $6.59 a share, in 1950. He said last year was "one of high industrial activity" for the company. Total volume was sl,687,649,767, only 3.5 percent below $1,749,641,210 of the previous year. The 1954 total was the second highest in the firm’s history. Greenewalt added that du Pont last year spent $120,000,000 to improve and expand plants and laboratories and to build new ones, as against $135,000,000 in 1953. In addition, research expenditures last year totaled $61,000,000.

Gamma globulin to tight measles and hepatitis; serum albumin to combat, shock—these and many other livesaving products are made from blood given by voluntary donors to their fellow-citixens through the Red Cross. Collecting and processing blood costs money. It requires the services of a professional staff in addition to the volunteers who serve the blood program.

Allotments Are Set For Corn Acreage Allotment Higher For Adams County Adams county farmers this week were notified of the corn acreage allotments established for their farms for the 1955 corn crop. Chairman Oscar T. Brown of the Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee advises that the allotments established for the farms of the county total 40,354 acres, compared with 36-728 acres last year, a nine percent increase. Brown explains that the procedure followed In determining corn acreage allotments for the farms of the county is essentially the same as in other years when allotments have been in effect. An allotment is determined for each farm of record on which corn was grown tn one or more of the years 1952, 1953 and 1954. The farm allotment is based on the acreage planted tp corn in 1951, 1952 and 1953, with adjustments for abnormal weather, changes in term operations and consideration of acreage planted and diverted in 1954. Tillable acres in the farm, crop rotation, type of soil, and topography also are considered in bringing each farm into conformity with similarly operated farmers. Finally a uniform percentage reduction is applied to each farm to bring the total within the total acreage allotment for the county. Along with the notice of allotment. the farmer also is advised of his right to appeal if he believes his farm allotment has been Incorrectly determined. The appeal must be made to the county committee within 15 days of the mailing date of the allotment notice.
