Ground has been broken for construction on Thirteenth street of Gerber’s new Super-market Owher Cart Gerber, councilman and well-known Decatur meat and grocery merchant says the new market will be ready for opening some time in the spring, provided weather conditions are favorable for construction work. Mr. Gerber and his associates will operate a general Super-market and will specialise in wholesaling and retailing meat The uptown Gerber market will remain open until the new establishment Is completed. 0 0 An important and interesting conference has been scheduled for Purdue University next March 19 and 20. The meeting is being sponsored by the Indiana department of public relations. Principal purpose of the two-day conference is to advise and instruct Indiana cities and towns what stay • they should take to make tgginselves more suscetpible to new factories. Cities and Chambers of Commerce will be invited ito send delegates. The program will include industrial speakers and representatives of cities in Indiana which have been successful in getting new industry. That Decatur should be officially represented is the hope of many citizens. ——o O'Small city newspapers are facing one of their toughest problems this year with the worldwide newsprint shortage. Most newspapers in cities the size of Decatur purchase their newsprint paper in single carload lots, generally receiving from three to - tour cars a year. W receipts-wre-reduced only a few tons in a year’s time, the publishing of a newspaper six-days a week becomes a serious problem. The Daily Democrat has sufficient paper to publish for about a month and Monday confirmation of a full car order was received from International Paper Sales Co., a concern which has supplied this plant with newsprint for forty years. We have every reason to believe tkere will be no interuption in publication of the Daily Democrat, at least for the next several months.

Newspaper Editors Favor Toll Highways Country Newspaper Editors Surveyed NEW YORK (INS) —A majority of country newspaper editors were reported today In favor of tolls on interstate highways, pay-as-you-go financing and quick action on the long-range highway The editors were purveyed by the American Press magailno, an indepeneni, monthly publication for weekly and bi—or tri-weekly newspapers. Most of the 460 editors who answered the 1,150 questionnaires sent out believed excise taxes on gasoline, cars, trucks and accessories should be restricted to road building. The magazine said: “Perhaps the most significant finding of the survey was the wide approval given to the use of tolls aS a major method of financing interstate highways- " "This idea had been rejected by the President’s advisory committee on a national highway program on the grounds that the people had the right to expect free roads between all cities and towns"But 52 per cent of the editors said they thought the people would favor tolls on the interstate highways. And, in most eastern states, where toll rodds are now most prevalent, 65 per cent of the editors said the public seemed in favor of thia method of financing.” Xhe magasine devoted much of hi January issue to the survey and the opinions given by editors from all over the nationThe survey showed a “great interest in the subject” since the 40 per cent response was “many times greater than experienced in most national surveys.” This is the way the 460 country newspaper editors answered: They were divided down the middle on whether the state or federal government should have major responsibility tor road building. Editors in the northeast and north central sections favored.state responsibility. Those in the south and west favored federal shouldering of the burdenNearly three-fourths favored a long-range, 10-year highway program. An equally large majority voted against increasing the national debt tor financing. Although more than half of all the editors believed the general public favors toll roads, southern and western editors said people in their areas are against them However, more than three-fourths ' opposed to toll systems on primary and secondary roads. •More than three-fourth believed highway excise taxes should be restricted to road-building. Just as large a majority believed

Frankly, we believe you will find that the Chrysler Windsor is the only real luxury car that sells at a medium price ... a car far in advance of its contemy poraries and ahead of its time. We would like to put you behind the wheel of this car , \ . because we’ve.found from actual comparative demonstrations that 3 out of 4 open-minded men who drive a Chrysler for the first time prefer it to anything else. There are many reasons. In the first place, the 1956 Chrysler is the only car in its price class that has been completely restyled this year. It has that “hair-trigger” look for which designers have been striving many years. w We call it “Power Style.
