Moro than eight hundred General Electric employes start today on their annual two-weeks vacation. Only a few of the office staff and the plant protection crew will remain at the Decatur plants. It is our sincere hope that these many vacationers will have fair weather and a good time, wherever they go. 0 0 The heat wave throughout this section the first two or three days of this week caused the death of thousands of young,,, chickens, It is reported. Several Allen county farmers report the loss of from 1,000 to 1,500 chicks and one in Whitley county says his loss reached 3,000 as the temperature climbed to 99 degrees. 0 o Congress, evidently decided to kill off everything proposed in order to adjourn by the end of the month. This included the highway legislation, so important Spokesmen declared an agreement had been made to postpone action on this and other measures for the rest of the year. Speaker Rayburn declared it might mean .for next year also as a good bit of politicis seems to have entered the final days of the lawmakers. —io «>— The Russian farmers who have been visiting the mid-west can't believe their eyes or ears as they travel through one state after another. They reached lowa this week and saw corn much higher than their heads. They also saw farms with mechanical advantages. Whether or not they will be able to tell what they have seen when they get back home is of course a question. Any way they have seen it and will want to be able to compete.
