The weather didn't cooperate too well with those who, a warm, sunshiny week-end, but we did get some much needed rain, and all in all the weather wasn’t too bad even for picnickers. < 0 0 An impressive service was held Sunday night at the First Presbyterian church here when officers of the Wabash River Presbytery formally ordained Rev. Faris Frans, Decatur young man into the Ministry. The church was well filled with members of the local church and representatives of the other Decatur churches and visitors from other Presbyterian churches. It was a great occasion locally because Rev. Franx is the first member of the Decatur church to become a minister of the gospel in more than 20 years. ——<o p k— Two weeks from next Sunday will be the kick-off day of a week of celebration ushering into use the new Youth and Community Center in Decatur.

ams theater as guests of Roy i KalVer, general manager of Kalver Theaters. Early tabulations of fatalities in Memorial Day week-end traffic tragedies indicate a new death record will be set. It seems useless to issue the warnings, however the other way to look at it is that maybe if people were not cautioned about the week-end hazards, there would be two or three times the fatalities. It was gratifying in the Decatur area to observe that city, county and state police were alert over the holiday week-end and by combining forces, the police were able to keep local traffic in the entire area well under control. It is highly probable that the best way to cut down traffic tragedies is to arrest speeders and reckless drivers and hope that each offender will get a stiff enough penalty that the law infraction won't soon be forgotten. —0 0 Vacation time is near. Your attention is again called to the Great Smokies, national park. This great vacation and scenic wonderland should have first preference of vacationers in this area for several reasons. First, entrance to the park is only 500 miles from Decatur. Admission and camping facilities are free. Highways to the Great Smokies are excellent The scenery and the varied forms of relaxation and entertainment are unexcelled in the world. With the exception of Gatlanburg, Tenn., entrance city to the park on the Tennessee side, meals and lodging throughout the area are reasonable. Every mile is crowded with unforgettable sights and it's all too close for anyone in this area to miss. Spring and fall are the wonder times in the Smokies. Just across the mountains on the North Carolina side, you can see one of the world’s largest power dams, with its 30-mile long Fontana lake. It's a wonderful place to spend a few days or a few weeks. i” - -
