With weather a little more adjusted to coincide with the calendar, people of this area are becoming more shopping-minded. Decatur retailors still haw complete lines ot the beat spring and summer merchandise and this is just another reminder Chat yotfll do better by shopping in Decatur. - g . 0— Yon’il be naked to M * poppy next Saturday. Adaan port number 43 American Legion auxiliary, with Mrs. Frances Monahan will have charge of the annual sale, the little flowers and proceeds of Disabled war veterans have made the sale go each year toward local aid to all disabled veterans and needy children of veterans. K’s a worthy cause and costs so little. 0 o Workmen are operating on a long schedule aC both Decatur cemeteries in an effort to have the areas dressed up for Decoration Day week. Hundreds of people who have loved ones buried in the cemeteries always set aside the May 30 week to visit the graves and place flowers and wreaths on the plots. Indications are that the annual cleanup work will be completed prior to the heavy Ingress of visitors. —4—o — A group ot rural electric patrons residing east of Decatur and being served by the Decatur municipal power plant have seen fit to petition the Public Service Commission for that body to investigate the service and also to consider authorising them to seek another electric power source. Whether this is the proper approach to the problem is questionable. R is hard to conceive that there iu.wu<tfA cU l»W JA*. 0 * 0 *:- tur city administration who would be- a party to stopping progress. On the other hand certainly the power subscribers are entitled to the best possible service at the lowest possible rate. There is no doubt, if a hearing Is granted, that some interesting facts will be brought out to supplant the many rumors which can be heard in the rural section affected. 0 0 An encouraging financial report concerning the first year ot operation of the Youth and Community Center was forthcoming from the Monday night meeting of the City Recreation Board and the Memorial Foundation.

dition to a report by Glenn Ellis, and O- M. McGeath. director, showing that the operation has been within less than 31,500 of breaking even, it also was disclosed that by actual oount more than 200,000 persons had made use of the building in the eleven and a half -months of operation. A majority, in fact a luge majority of the people of Decatur believe that the Tonth Os Decatur should have well planned recreation as the most forceful weapon against delinquency. The tact that delinquency has shown a decrease in the Decatur area in the last year is revealed by records. That the Youth Center has been a large contribuing factor is a foregone conclusion. As long as we continue to have a well organised, well planned Youth Center, we are bound to have better young people learning to become better citisens. This is an appeal to the good people ot Decatur and this community to take part in the May 30 Memorial day Observance in Decatur. A Joint committee of the American Legion and Veterans of - Foreign Wars has planned an appropriate program, starting with tributes at the graveside of a war veteran at each of Decatur's two cemeteries. A parade from the Legion home to the Monroe street river bridge, headed by a group of young colored musicians representing Fort Wayne post number 148. American Legion, and including war veterans and school children will end its march at the Peace Monument on the Court House square. The parade will stop at the bridge to pay a tribute to dead naval veterans of —all wars and flowers will be ■ thrown into the river. Rev. Virgil Sexton, pastor of First Methodist church of Decatur will deliver the Memorial day address at 11 o’clock am. from the Peace Monument In the part few years only a handful of the faithful have attended the program. The group of men charged with the formation of the observance have worked hard toward a short but interesting and appropriate schedule. Every citizen who appreciates America; every citizen who feels he owes gratitude, to those who have made America possible; in fact every good citizen is urged to attend the Decatur Memorial day observance.

Would it be proper when leaving a hospital to tip a trained nurse who has been unusually kind «ad efficient? A. It is better not to do this. A trained nurse belongs to the professional class and would probably resent this. A nice gift, however, would be in perfectly good taste. Q. Should a woman rise when seated in a restaurant, and another woman stops at her- table to exchange a few words? A. This is not necessary, unless she is very young and the other woman is elderly. Q. If it so happens that a brideelect has already had the opportunity to thank a donor verbally for a gift received, is it stiH necessary for her to send a written note of thanks? A’. Yes, and as soon as possible. 0 ■ -■■■■.■ . — < j Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE | o- e Woolens Shrunken woolens can be brought back to their normal size by rinsing in fresh soapsuds instead of clear water after washing.

Peace Mandate By Big 3 To Hammarskjold Western Powers To Ask Hammarskjold Continue Efforts UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (INS) —Diplomatic sources disclosed today the Western Big Three will ask Dag Hammarskjold to assume a continuing “good shepherd" role in UN efforts to achieve a durable Middle East peace. The U. 8., Britain and France, according to informants, plan a permanent peace mandate for the UN secretary general because of his success tn negotiating new Arab-Israeli cease-fire agreements, Syrian officials said Tuesday night in Damascus that Israel’s Arab neighbors — Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria — were opposed to a new Hammarskjold mission aimed at a lasting ArabIsraeli peace. They said the Arabs’ unified views were made clear in a Syrian note to diplomatic representatives of Russia, the U.S., Britain. Iran and Belgium in Damascus. Reliable sources said, however, that the note, drafted after last week's meeting of the four Arab foreign ministers, reaffirmed Arab 1 1 willingness to cooperate in reducI ing tensions in the Middle East. ’! The Western allies are drafting .Specific recommendations for submission in a joint resolution to the •+eecurity council, which meets next week to discuss Hammarskjold’s Middle East report. The 11-nation body also will consider further steps aimed at solidifying the cease-fire agreements between Israel and Egypt, Jordan. Lebanon and Syria. Impracticable DAMASCUS (JNS)—The Syrian government has declared that an Arab-Israeli peace is “impracticable'' and that Israel’s Arab i neighbor# are opposed to a broadened peace mission by Dag Hammarskjold. Officials in Damascus said Tuesday night that these decisions had been reached by Syria, Egypt, . Jordan and Lebanon at a foreign ministers meeting last week. The officials added that Syria had made known these views in a note to diplomatic representatives of Russia, the U.S., Britain, Iran i and Belgium in Damascus. .Reliable sourges said the Syrian ’reaffirmed Arab willingness to cooperate with the UN secre- > tary general in reducing border tensions. „ But the note stressed the Arab states opposed the return of Hamynarskjold on a new Middle Eastern peace mission that would attempt to do more than reduce border tensions. \ Hammarskjold pointed out in his ; recent report to the security coun- , cil that his visit to the Middle East had averted an immediate threat of war but had done noth ing to solve basic Arao-Israeli differences. i i Reports Increase In Margarine Sales HOT SPRINGS, Va.

Handley Manager Predicts Victory Sees .Nomination On Second Ballot INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — A statement- by Vernon Anderson, campaign manager for Harold W. Handley that Handley was sure Os nomination on the second ballot brought objections from the GOP’s live other gubernatorial aspirants today. Anderson, former Hammond mayor, told newsmen a check throughout the state indicated Handley is only a little short of the required 1,017 votes needed for nomination and*has enough second ballot pledges to be assured of victory on the second time around. Thomas F. Kibler, one of the campaign managers for Frank Sparks, said he figures Handley hasonly 800 delegates and that hjs candidate has 450. Thomas E. Bath, in charge of the campaign of John A. Scott, of South Bend, opined that most delegates have not yet reached a decision on their gubernatorial preference. Francis T. McCarty, Brimfield manufacturer, made no .victory claims for himself but said he was the only candidate to receive a district endorsement. Backers of Frank Millis for governor also joined with Bath in contending that the June 29 convention date is too far away to start counting votes. And the forces of Dan M. Cravens asserted there would be no first ballot nomination and that Cravens is therefore concentrating on hte second choice votes, believing his role as a non-factional candidate will eventually put him in the lead. — I Spokane — Western American rivers could produce as much electric power in a year as could be generated by 600 million barrels of petroleum, according to Bureau of Reclamation estimates.
