Many Decatur stores are open tonight to give you an opportunity to do mid-week shopping. Traffic and parking problems are fewer so take advantage of Wednesday night shopping. -A ■ ■ X-': .-.1 Nine more “statistics" in the form of human bodies are in the headlines after another week of traffic errors. How long will the American people put up with this needless slaughter? How soon will we begin a move to eliminate the unqualified driver? Let's cut out the shoulder-shrugging and get some action, soon! 0 0 The departure of Dr. R. K. Parrish and family from this community will leave a void in our professional circles. Dr. Parrish, physician and surgeon., has received a well-deserved appointment for two years of graduate study in opthamology at Indiana University Medical Center. The Parrishes will move to Indianapolis and live there for the duration of his studies. We wish them all the success in the world and hope that they see fit to reestablish themselves in Decatur, for this community needs such people for its continued improvement ♦ ♦»— With the appalling shortage of teachers, the “Flint Plan” is looked to more carefully by educators. It is suggested that teacher '‘assistants" can-take care of much routine work which permits the teacher to spend his time with small groups or individuals. ’ Soffie even suggest classes of sixty students for each regular member of the teaching staff who has an assistant available. Population growth and increased need for a more educated citizenry point up the need for an immediate solution. As was suggested earlier, many of you could help during the current crisis. Dig but that license which you may have filed somewhere; contact a school official and do a stint for the schools. At least, be ready, if and when the teacher assistant program comes to us.

Go ahead and grumble about the weather, that is your prerogative. No matter how one views it, Indiana weather is a prime topic for conversation. If it isn't the heat, it is the humidity, the rain, the sun or just anything as we Hoosiers well know. Sci.-ntists may be able to predict with a fair degree of accuracy but we have not yet learned to control the weather. Don’t sell science short for someday we may need to find another conservation piece. 0 o The unsung gentry who makes our various programs click in Decatur need a special word of commendation. If each would total the hours that he has spent in some worthwhile activity the sum would be awesome. A contraunity is no better than the combined efforts of all to make a better place for our offsprings. Churehes, social and recreational activities, schools and families all require an investment of time and energy from each. Public offices, both elective and appointive, alsd fS quire far more than is generally thought to-be the necessary minimum. Stewardship in a comniftnity requires much from many and our gratitude goes to those hundreds of men and women whose efforts have made a better place for us to call home. 0 0 The birthday prirty being sponsored by the Directors of the Foundation for the Decatur Youth and Community Center Should meet with a spontaneous response from all. One needs only to look around us to observe the delinquency reports from various neighbc-hoods to appreciate the contributions which our Center has made. The expansion and improvement of facilities is a small investment for ekch of us in the continued security of our youth. Adult groups, through a per capita use fee, have paid their way but the larger attendance and use by youth necessitates “keeping up to date.” Those of us who have children now using the Center xnow full well the recreations available and the “next fcrdp” which will be larger than the curent group.

Presbyterian Fund Drive Next Sunday Plan Addition To Presbyterian Church Final plans will be made Friday night by members of the First Presbyterian church for a drive for furids next Sunday. The money obtained over a three-year period from members will be used to improve the present church and build •n addition to it. The new addition will be used largely for the Sunday school. Increase In attendance, especially at Sunday school, during the last several years, has necessitated the plans for an addition. ( Every member will be visited next Sunday and asked to make a contribution to the fund. The goal is 150,000 and the pledges can be paid over a three-year period, it was learned. The local Presbyterian church membership also has shown a marked Increase in the last several years and no additions have been made to the present structure since it was built in 1902. Plans for improvements are not yet definite and the size of the addition will depend on ,tb,e amount of money raised, it was said by an official of the church. Those in charge of the drive hope to complete the entire solicitation in a single day. There will be about 12 or 14 teams of two solicitors each, and they* will visit every Presbyterian home between 2 and 6 o’clock next Sunday afternoon. War is of muscle, waste of brain, waste of patience, waste of pain. '

Consider Switch Os All Os TV Channels r Shift Television To All UHF Channels WASHINGTON (UP) — The government is considering an eventual switch of all the nation’s television broadcasting to new channels which most present sets are not equipped to receive. The move, however, is only id the study stage and will be subject to long controversy and argument. Even if it were finally approved and ordered, the switch would require about 10 years to put into effect fully, most experts estimate. -- —■ The st' p tinder consideration would shift television broadcasting from very high frequency (VHF) channels to the ultra high (UHF) band. The federal communications commission announced Tuesday that it is studying the matter. Most present TV sets receive only VHF channels — channels two through IS. Os the 37 million sets estimated in the nation, only 7 million are equipped to receive UHF telecasting only by installing an adapter. Such an installation costs from $25 to |75. The FCC emphasized, however, that in any shift to UHF It would allow a transition period “sufficiently long to cover the useful life of VHF-only receivers' in the hands of the public.” Future sets presumably would be built mainly for UHF use. The newest models still are aimed at the VHF market but are built so that conversion to UHF can be made In only about five minutes and at a nominal cost. The reason FCC Is studying the shift to UHF is that there are, at present. 70 UHF channels available for allotment for commercial TV stations compared to VHP’s 12. Hence, it said, the shift would permit a greater number of stations for each reception area and establishment of stations in ureas never before served by TV. I To Resurface Road 118 East Os Berne True Andrews, of the state highway department, reported today that state road 118 will be closed Saturday from Berne east to the Ohio state line for resurfacing, which is expected to take about two . weeks. Traffic will be detoured north from Berne on U. S. 27 to state road 124, then east to Willshire, O. Andrews also stated that state road 124 was closed today at state road 5 west to state road 221, to widen bridges, and will be closed about two weeks. Detour has been set south on road 5 to Warren, then west on state road 218 to 221, then north to 124.
