Issues Appeal For Help To Okinawa Former Resident Writes Os Plight “If you care you will share,” is the challenge of an appeal that has been made to the people of the Decatur area, in behalf of the school children on the Island of Okinawa, by Mrs. Willa Dalzell Sheehan, who formerly resided in this city, and who is now a volunteer school teacher there. She has made the appeal "because of the need that has arisen as an af-ter-math of the typhoon Emma. In a letter to her former pastor, Mrs. Sheehan writes, “AU the Okinawan schools have opened, somewhat belatedly and the worse for the wear I am afraid. That is, all have opened except the one where I teach English to 800 junior and senior boys and girls four days a week —a volunteer, for there is no money to pay any extra teachers. Poor Okinawa Technical high school is a sorry sight and all but extinct after typhoon Emma except for some concretehoused classrooms, and even they are aU muddy and some of the windows are broken. The students will do all the repair work—no hiring of outside help. They are studying to be carpenters, mechanics, and electricians. You'd be surprised how they could make a dollar stretch, but they just don't have the fiollar.” Mrs. Sheenan points out that all money received will go toward the repair work, nothing will be directed to other causes. > Contributions to this appeal may be made through the youth and adult church school classes of those churches who cooperate in the Associated Churches of Decatur. The fund?. will become a part of an offering that will be received at the annual Thanksgiving service to be held at First Christian church Thursday morning, November 22, at 9 a. m. Any one wishing further information on the offering may call George Thomas, president of the Associated Churches of Decatur, the Rev, Benj. Thomas, vice president of the association, or the Rev. Ray J. Walther, president of the Decatur ministerial association. • ' ></’ * • j Society Items for today’s publication must be phoned-in by 11 a.m. (Saturday 9:30 a.m.) Phone < 2121 Gwen Hityard FRIDAY Kirkland township farm bureau and 4-H achievement supper, Pleasant Dale parish hall, 6:30 p.m. Adams county Federation of Woman's clubs, club room of public library, 2 p.m. Union township Farm Bureau and 4-H achievement night, Immanuel Lutheran school, pot luck supper, 6:30 p.m. Little Flower study club prayer group, Mrs. Hugh Daniels, 8:45 p.m. SATURDAY Psi Ote bake sale, former August cafeteria on North Second street, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bake Sale at Western Auto, sponsored by Pleasant Mills band, 9 a.m. to 12 noon. ~ Keith Brown post 420 of Monroeville American Legion, Thanksgiving supper-dance.

Asks Higher Budget For Institutions More Funds Sought At Mental Hospitals INDIANAPOUS (UP)—State Mental Health Commissioner Dr. , Margaret Morgan Thursday asked for 365,167,169 to operate Indiana's ; 10 mental health institutions for the 1957-59 biennium. It was $19,119,432 more than the 1 operating budget approved by the 1955 legislature but seven million ' dollars less than the amount asked by the hospitals. Dr. Morgan, who announced her resignation effective next January, submitted the request to the State Budget Committee. The committee will review it, plus her previous request for about 30 million dollars for construction for submfe- ■ sion to the 1957 Legislature. Most of the increase is Intended for hiring new hospital attendants ■ and increasing salaries, she said. ■ This includes: Hiring 1,416 new employes over ; the next two years, including 234 i to make up for changing the cur- - rent 44 to 48-hour work week to r 40 hours. * Raising minimum starting sal- ; aries for attendants from $175 to > $205 a month. That would effect » workers in 64 classifications. Dr. Morgan said some of the 1 new employes are needed because > present patients are not “as able I to work on hospital details as have previous patients." 1 “Many of our former patients i who worked have now been dis- » charged and are caring for themselves,” she said. “Because our • , discharges are increasing our presj ent patients in most instances are { neither mentally or physically j able to do constructive work.” > DAV Holds Tag Days ' Today And Saturday t The annual fag day drive spon- . sored by the Disabled American Veterans to finance the purchase . of Christmas gifts for patients in L Veterans hospitals opened today in ? Decatur. , The sale will continue Saturday, ■ according to a reminder by Jerome ; F. Heimann, tag day chairman for ' Adams county chapter 91. of the ■ D.A.V. The sale is being conducted throughout the county by D.A.V. members who seek the cooperation and support of all local residents. Motorist Wins CAMDEN, N.
