Future historians reading one * edition of this newspaper which carried stories about the Umbel--lost Trailriders club and the Limberfost Archery club may wonder if Buffalo hides brought a good price this year. ——-o— —o—— Christmas weather has been welcomed by merchants hit by an unseasonably warm fall and early winter. But it brings no joy to the man in charge of shovelling snow, buying more fuel and digging up the funds for Christmas spending for the family. — O' "■ O' ■■ It's entirely possible that had the United States lend-leased Russia television sets, we might have won the Olympics. It seems that American wrestlers are adherents of the “grunt and groan” school popular on television. Russians continue to wrestle in the Greco-Roman style still used by the old fashioned folks who make up the rules for the Olympics. Russia won five out of the eight 4 championships in this field, enough to outpoint the United States for the first time since Nazi Germany did the trick. —o-—o— The first real test of the government's determinatibn to end racial segregation in the South is happening in Clinton, Tennessee. A flagrant violator of the dignity of the court, in the opinion of a federal judge, has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for distributing racist literature during a court recess. Sixteen others have been arrested for Interfering with an injunction against preventing colored children frqpi attending the schools. Positive action could set the pattern for all of the Southern schools. ——o o Public service is often a thankless task. It’s easy to make complaints and it is seldom fashionable to express appreciation when a good job is done. An exception to the rule is a letter from Donald McDaniel, president of the Decatur Casting Company, addressed to Mayor Cole, in which he complimented the city counail on its action to “protect the industries and citizens of the community” by signing a contract with the Indiana and Michigan Electric company to supply Decatur with electrical energy as needed.

Speaking of Christmas weather, calls to our attention a statement g>y the National Science Foundation that the weatherman, technically known as a meteorologist, share? with the physicist, the honor of earning the highest average pay among the 250,000 scientists in this country at a median of $7,850 annually. Scientists with Ph.D. degrees reported that the lowest paid, at an average of $5,850 annually, were psychologists. o o Between games of golf and in a small room above the professional's shop Augusta National golf club. President Eisenhower and Defense Secretary Wilson decided the 38 billion dollar defense budget for the next fiscal year. This is IQ million dollars less than the armed services believed would be necessary, to protect our country in the midst of the greatest world crisis since World War 11. Because the President has seen fit to hold only one press conference since his election, the public is poorly informed to judge whether the program advocated is adequate. But it would seem that the President can approve the expendi-, tore of the largest single item in our national budget with less time and effort than we take to fill out our tax return. It doesn't seem fair. o o A story that a guided missile is missing after a 2,000 mile flight from Florida should make it worthwhile to measure some distances on your globe. America is fast approaching the time when it 'can send missiles from Arctic bases into the heart of Russia. We must assume that Russia is spending as much effort on the same weapon. Your globe will show you that the prime Soviet target would be the Detroit, Indianapolis, Calumet triangular area. The transportation and manufacturing of the entire nation could be paralyzed. Historically, it has been the two sea coasts which have been most concerned about an invasion. Next time it could be silent fast moving missiles with atomic or hydrogen warheads coming here without notice. Cooperation with the local civilian defense committees might not be as fantastic a necessity as some people believe.

O — M Household Scrapbook I BY ROBERTA LEE o o Frayed Rags _ — If a rug is continually fraying out on the ends and will not stay sewed, try glue. Work liquid glue into the rug for about half an inch from the end with the fingers, let dry bn a flat surface, and your rug will stay mended. Summer Clothes When packing away white summer clothes, wrap them in an old bed sheet or pillow case that has been dipped in strong bluing water. It will prevent their turning yellow during the winter months. Cleaning Faucets To clean faucets, rub with lemon rind after the juice has been extracted. Then wash them and dry a soft, dry cloth. COURT NEWS Meyer Estate The final report for the estate of Beulah Meyer has been filed and a notice has been ordered issued returnable Jan. 3.

today to prepare "Camp Mercy" to care for a fourfold increase in Hungarian refugees. The first plane of "Operation Safe Haven,” a huge air-sea lift, is scheduled to arrive at nearby MfGuire Air Force Base Wednesday as the vanguard of a military shuttle service which will bring 14,657 Hungarians to U.S. homes hnd jobs by the new year. "We've got to be finished by Wednesday if this new program

goes through on schedule," an Army spokesman said. The sharp increase in the refugee influx placed on a "crash” basis an expansion program already underway here. Army constructions teams were putting the finishing touches on an additional 200 barracks, a second mess hall and additional recreation facilities. Originally, 126 barracks had been reopened at this former Army post to house the refugees.
