That interest increases each year in fishing is evidenced by the fact that Adams county has a membership of more than 35 in Jthe Northeastern Indiana Trout *• - Association, a group of fishermen who operate their own trout hatchery and replenish streams and lakes tn northern Indiana. The organisation is active in its own name ' and alse cooperates with the state conservation department. Members are supplied with a map of northeastern Indi- . ana showing the trout streams and lakes. 0 o The old Decatur country club at the edge of Decatur on Mercer avenue is again gaining fame, but In an entirely different field. The property, owned by Cal Yost, Is the number one headquarters iu the middlewest for the American Landrace swine. The large club house has been converted into a swine palace and under the guidance of Bernard Pickett, the finest Landrace hogs in the nation are raised and sold. The Landrace Hog has numerous qualities which make it popular among midwest farmers, one of which is the fact that the animal hds much more marketable meat and less fat. Etch day visitors come from neighboring states and also from Indiana to inspect the swine palack, where the new bread of hog is housedO o Another angle of the power problem Was aired in City Council this week when a group of Union township residents appeared and asked for relief in their particular power situation. Leaders of the group contended that the electric current furnished by the Decatur light and power plant, was ate time's too strong and at other times tdb weak to give good service. It's an old problem in many localities. The powkr is increased into the lines at certain ttrttes when more electrical equipment is being operated. Then when these appliances are shut off .and the power is still strong there is a Tikfffihbod of Ifgflf Whv. rnrtto - and television tubes being burned out. It is not an easy problem and it is not a situation which can be corrected over night. The rural patrons have been assurred that immediate study pf the problem will be forthcoming.
