Leigh Nelson:— Funeral services were held this afternoon for Leigh Nelson. 27. who lost his long battle to regain health. Leigh, in his brief life already had established himself as a good student, a good soldier, a fine husband and had launched himself on a promising career as a mechanical engineer. Death ended all of this, and his family and friends cannot place him in the future earthly picture. We all can, however, look back on his short life which was crowded with success. He was born in Decatur and throughout his elementary and high school days, he was an excellent student. Graduating from Decatur high school, Leigh then received a degree in engineering at Purdue University. Prior to launching a professional career, he served as an officer in the U. S. Army. In 1950, Leigh married his high school sweetheart. Miss Claire Mowery and with her they prepared for a great -future. The Nelsons moved to FoVt Wayne and Leigh accepted a position 'With A. M. Strauss, Fort Wayne acMtect. Shortly afterwards he became stricken kith the ailment which this wdek took his life. We can't understand, we just have to SO cept the things Hfce this which happen. The sadness of his death which is felt by his wife, his mother, and his four sisters is equally shared by the host Os friends of Leigh and ail the Nelsons. Words are empty at a time like this, but the Daily Democrat joins this host of friends in offering heartfelt sympathy to the Nelson family. 4) 41 More than 3.000 telephone calls were registered on the CftiZehs Telephone Co. - Dally Democrat tape recorder election night. The calls were handled fast and hundreds more people got election information much faster than with the old systedi of one call at a time. The new plarn also keeps the regular Daily Democrat wires open at all time to receive the latest results from the precincts and thereby final results are brought to the public tnueh quicker.

We congratulate the Decatur school board and Superintendent W. Guy Drown in the selection of Hubert Zerkel, Jr. as principal of the new Northwest elementary school In this city. Zerkel has had ample experience In teaching and in the handling of young people. He has a fine educational background and we believe the pupils of the new school will be in expert hands. A staff of nine teachers, to be announced later, will assist Zerkel in the affairs of the new school, which will open next September. 0 0 Youth day at Decatur's new*Youth and Community center June 24 should be one of the highlights of the Dedication week. The large section of the building dedicated to all the young people of Decatur Will be turned into action on that day. The youth of the city will supervise, through its elected officers, the activities of the center. O. M. McGeath, director, is working out some interesting youth programs and every young person of Decatur should take advantage of these new opportunities. » o 0 Light voting throughout the state in Tuesday’s primary elections could reflect an indifferent attitude of people toward the conduct of their own affairs. If citizens of a community are not suffielently interested to exercise their right to assist in the selection of candidates, the only alternative is that they take what they get in the Way of government Decatur’s Democratic primary vote was far above the average compared with other cities of our size. It Was far from a good turnout however and less than 50 per eent of the qualified Dem ocrat voters took the time to go to the polls. It is both a privilege and a duty to vote. If you fail to exercise this right, eventually the entire system of people choosing their own officials will break down.

Inspect Your Cor Before Vacation DETROIT (INS) - A leading automobile safety expert has cautioned vacation-bound motorists to inspect their cart -carefully before the trip and to avoid making a too-rigid schedule. Leonard M. van Noppen, vice president of Universal C.I.T. Credit Corporation, said: “Planning a highway vacation mejins preparing the car for it. Any car going on a family trip should be, checked thoroughly by the owner’s dealer and put in A-l shape, '■-ts “That means brakes, lights, windshield, horn, wheel alignment and signal lights particularly/' The safety expert added: "Over - planning a vacation means setting yourself a timetable and breaking your neck — or someone elae's neck—to keep it. "Don’t rush: If it takes an hour more than you figured for the trip — so what? The main objective is to get there safely." Van Noppen pointed out that two out of three fatal accidents occur between dusk and dawn and warned vacationing drivers to avoid traveling at night as much as possible.
