Considerable local Interest is being shown in this year’s Zollner Pistons professional basketball tqam. Many Decatur and Adams county fans have been following ths game. It looks as if the Pistons would be the team to beat for the championship this year. ——<O oh— The Youth and Community Center continues to be headquarters for teen agers during their leisure hears. The huge Youth wing of the building is filled every day with Decatur young people. After six months of operation, attendance at the Center is showing a continuous increase- : o o— The safety of Decatur’s streets has been noticeable this year, so far. Occasionally a mishap is unavoidable, but they are leas apt to happen when a city has a safety minded police force. There have been no mishaps near schools, to date this year, largely because uniformed police have been on the job in all kinds of weather to guide the traffic at nearby street intersections. Chief James Borders, who has headed the safety drive for years and his personnel deserve special mention fqr their effort it .utting down tragic mishaps. As long as our police continue this drive, our streets will be safe. u 0 w The United States Chamber of Commerce has come up with some interesting figures. A single man, earning >4,000 a year would have to win >448,711 to actually keep 364,000 on any of the television quiz shows which are so popular now days. If that same man successfully answers the >32,000 question, he is entitled to keep >16,600 and the balance goes to the government via of the income tax route. If he continues in a successful attempt, and answers the >64,000 questions, he risks his sure >16,600 and would add only about >8,700 to that amount. The federal taxes would absorb the balance. These figures are quoted to bring to your attention the federal tax structure and to point out that the structure might also be Killing incentive in private enterprise for any person to attempt to better himself financlal-

i The Decatur Chamber of Commerce is planning an all-out membership drive among all eligible i persons in the city. A strong' Chamber of Commerce is a first requisite of a progressive city. The Decatur Chamber has shown improvement both in its site and functions during recent years and 1956 should be a banner year. The local Chamber is divided into two main divisions, retail and industrial and each division has its own chairman. A membership in either division also Is a membership in the general Chamber. It is a worthy organisation in a growing Decatur. ——o—_o Thomas Gallmeyer. Allen coun.v ty Republican chairman and speaker here last Saturday at a Lincoln day Republican rally criticised labor Unions for contributing money to the Democrat party, but he neglected to say a word about the huge contributions to the G.O.P. from millionaires, automobile dealers with General Motor franchises and others. Mr. Gallmeyer, calling the Republican party "the conservative party” did not try to explain the proposed budget of more than sixtyfive billion dollars which President Eisenhower has offered for 1957. Is that conservatism? 0 0 The proposed federal budget for 1957 is almost sixty-six billion dollars. Os that amount, acI cording to Indiana Chamber of Commerce figures Adams county resident will pay >8,258,588 or about a half of one percent of Indiana’s share. This huge expenditure of money by our county is five and a half times more than the |mount of >1,481,890 raised by ‘ county tWW inuWS.lnJJltal.. words we send five and a half tax dollars to the federal government for every dollar we raise to maintain our local government The total tax structure, state, fedr ... . eral and local, will continue to rise in dollars and cents as long as we, remain placid about these huge expenditures. This payment to the federal government, of course does not take into consideration the state gross income ‘ tax. All in all, it looks like the taxpayers of Adams county pay r their share.
