The 4-11 fair which opens next week should .claim a few hours of veer time. The various projects of Adonis county youth will be of distinct interest to all who take ■' ( pride in cur young folks' acconi- ! , plit&tneats. r o- u. The epidemic of polio should serve as a reminder that vaccine is available and children should be inoculated For some lime there was a shortage of Salk Vaccine but now supplies, though not excessive, are said to be adequate. Witch vour children closely and take care that they get adequate rest as well aa a.balanced diet. A healthy body is poor soil for any Mnd of disease. O 0 How successful the 1956 operation alert proved to be will be determined in the near future. Local radio "hams" contributed their bk and it is suggested that more of us should alert ourselves to the serious nature of civilian defense Intercontinental missile development-requires us to throw off our lethargy and think in terms if that which can happen to US. - —. ■ ■ 0 QGood neighbors are a big asset to all cf us. That we have many good neighbors in oar community was evidenced by the volunteers from Central Soya company who began and expect to complete a "house raising.” These men and businessjc who gave so unselfishly of ta.cnt and material goods deserve and have the thanks of all of us. Isn’t It wonderful to live where there are so ; manjr fine people’ —„ o —s— q. : In as much as many Decaturites will be on vacation in the near future, several reminders may be of value. Take a good first aid kit as well as a flashlight or fnsses for night roadside protection. Inform triends or neighbors where you can be reached in case of an emergency. Disconnect lamps and appliances at wall, outlets. Arrange for mail to be kept or collected by a neighbor. Leave window shades open and keep lie lawn mowed, for such are tipelfa to these who would berak in. Take it easy on the way to and from is order to have a relaxed recreation period. These are a few suggestions of points you . may have overteoked.

Fifty years ayo the Decatur Pub’ic Library" began to operate. Old re<ords calise us to marvel that O’ r original public library was in the old Central School which stood on the present site of the School building. With student increases the shelves ■ containing books • and wiagaxints were placed in the halls and generally scattered over the taiild'ug. These conditions led some of our 10-al citizens to petition the Andrew Carnegie fund which allocated SIO,OOO and later ... raised this grant to $12,000. Appropriate dedication ceremonies were listed and on July 19. 1906. the completed library was formally dedicated and turned over to the City of Decatur. Our library has come a long way over the past half century. Originally I.tKH) hooka were available and today that is Jess than a three day turnover. Let us hope the next fifty years can show as much further improvement and usage. You may be Interested to go to the library both to observe the wide usage and to read through the early records —-o o Those of us who are not so widely-traveled must restrict some o* our observations to the places close to home. Having read of the innumerable ghost towns of the West, it wap indeed a - pleasant experience to-w=e of this vacated areas in a recent trip to the UP of Michigan. Back country driving found many rownumities which have long since become nonentities. These old timber centers are truly ghost- — like and even the "copper country” has its share of vacated towns. One marvels at the mobility of .th~ American people when towns of yesterday are now reduced to the inevitable post-office and filling station. One town in particular was reduced from a 700-botr.e lumber town to a present 7 homes after the good timber was lOmoved. There must have been hundreds of thriving communities of the Middle West that now have merged into the undergrowth which followed the reckless eAhaustion of wood resources. One must appreciate the adaptability Os the American people to readjust from one mode of

Shopping Via TV i Set For Future Designer Predicts Push-Button Buys ASPEN. Colo. — (UP) — Obe top industrial designer predicts thatj push button shopping is just around the corner. J. Gordon Lippincott of the Lippincott and Margulies firm of New ! York sees the day when women i will shop without leaving their living rooin or kitchen — with the aid of a closed circuit television set. Lippincott, whose firm has designed everything from’the outside; of soap boxes to the inside ot ■ ■ atomic submarines, described shopping of the future during the an-i nual International- Desigti" Confer-, ence here. Here is how he puts it: “The coMiimer. at home before

She calls the manufacturer and asks i to see its film showing how the I mixer works, what it will accomplish. She may ask for tile same information from company "Y” and conipare brands. All information would be sent pre-recorded on tape. Next, said* Lippincott, the houaewife phones in her order, specifying color, size and shape. It- is manufactured and delivered with-: in 24 hours.

Historic Articles In Nixon's Office Little Memo Tells Os Historic Iteriis By HARMAN W. NICHOLS WASHINGTON (UP)— When you visit the office or the vice president of the United States you are handed a little memo. It aaye nothing about the present tenant. Richard M. Nixon, but runs back into history. The official office of the V.P. ts located in the senate wing of the Capitol. Finished back In 1869. it has baen home base for every veep since John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky. The memo says that almost every article in the office is of "historical interest." I got a copy when I dropped by to chew over a few things with the present incumbent. The first desk you see in the center of the suite was first used by President Wiliam McKinley. It had been stored in the White House basement for many years after McKinley was shot by an assassin on Sept. 6, 1901. One day in 1917 President Woodrow WilSon was looking around rooms in the big Pennsylvania Avenue mansion which he had never seen before He came upon the desk. Wilson, who wasn’t su perstitions, had the desk moved to his office and labored over it for the rest ot his second term. In the V.P.’s office you also will find a large picture of George Washington. It is regarded as one of the most valuable paintings in the Capitol building. Rembrandt Peade was the artist and art critics believe it would be worth at least half a million dollars on the open market. Interesting also is the chandelier which hangs over the vice presfdent’s desk. It is well chained up and not likaly to drop glassy bobleader. i bles on the head of any assistant This fixture was bought by Thomas Jefferson in Paris when he was ambassador to France from the colonial government It is made of Bohemian crystals, with sterling silver clips and chains. It was lit by gas and candles until electricity >'
