Don’t forget—warmer weather can bring along those nasty colds and sieges of flu! And spring colds can be the moat aggravating ailments we know of. ■■■■’ o o ■ A day or two let-up in the winter weather always gives the more optimistic souls a lot of encouragement to get out the spring seed catalogs and look through the basement for the garden tools. In all probability, however, there’ll be lots of cold winter days yet before the robins are here to stay. o — We welcome to Decatur- the hundreds of Dollar Day shoppers and we want to remind you that if you make Decatur your year around shopping headquarters, you will share in many bargains and many excellent purchases. You’ll always be a happy shopper if you trade in Decatur. ——-o—— Mrs. William. Schnepf, Jr. has assumed leadership of the Decatur Girl Scout association for the present year. The program for the local Misses is now being planned and predictions are that the long-anticipated Little House, new summer headquarters for Decatur Girl Scouts, will be ready for occupancy this summer. Mrs. Schnepf succeeds Mrs. Doyle Collier as head of the local organization and we join her many friends in wishing her an equally successful year. --■-Off —o—— The public is invited to a meeting Saturday night at the Youth and Community Center where Sen. Von Eichhorn will be the guest speaker and following his address the Senator will discuss some of the current problems of the present General Assembly. The meeting is sponsored jointly by the Democratic central committee and Jefferson dub. I -O—O— — Former President Herbert Hoover joins Secretary of the • Treasury Humphrey in seeing a serious depression in the not too distant future, if inflation is not controlled. Who could know more about a possible depression than the former President? People are hoping that our present President will take command before it is too late. Excessive government spending appears to be thought of as the biggest fly in the ointment .

Trade, in Decatur and watch your shopping dollars go farther. Join the thousands of satisfied Decatur shoppers. —o——o—— Here’s an interesting quotation from the January 30 Congressional Record, from the extension of remarks of the Hon. Noah M. Mason. Republican representative from Illinois. Apparently Mr. Mason has become as disenchanted as a Democrat with President Eisenhower’s new program. He says, “Mr. Speaker, what is the ’New Republicanism' that President Eisenhower talks about? According to his own description ot it—judging from his messages to the Congress—it is a program that will bring into being a welfare state with unlimited spending, centralized power in Washington, taking more and more of the taxpayers* earnings through taxation, and building up a vast bureaucracy to do for the people what they should be doing for themselves.” We wonder if Mr. Mason, like India nil Republicans, ran for election three months ago under the banner, “Support Eisenhower—Elect Mason!** o o At a recent meeting of the Swiss Village home demonstration dub, a special project was discussed. These ladies discovered that 16 persons from Adams county who were mental patients in state hospitals had received no inquiries, letters, or gifts for more than one year. Club members, touched by the pathos of local people, some of whom had been sick for over 50 years, decided to send, gifts aqd . letters to these people. ‘ » It seems a shame that mental patients, who often respond to friendship and attention, should go without inquiries. The list of these 16 people is a list of 16 prominent county families. Mental sickness is now recognized as. an illness, and the only shame connected with it is the shame of neglect by relatives and friends. It is hoped that other groups, in addition to old friends and relatives of patients, will help end a disgraceful chapter in our county history. The Swiss Village club is to be commended for its interest

If a fruit or fish cocktail is the first course at dinner, is it placed directly on the service plate, or must it first be placed on a small plate? A. Properly, it is brought in on a small plate and placed directly on the service plate. If the hostess is doing the serving herself, she places one on each service plate before announoing dinner. Q. Even if a wedding is a small one, is it necessary for the bridegroom to have a best man? A. This isn't an unbreakable rule, but he should have a best man. If he has no brother, he should choose the brother of the bride or his own best friend. Q. If someone tells a joke that yqu have already heard, should you stop him? A. Only of you are the sole listener. • 0 Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE I 0 0 Yellowed Ivory When ivory ornaments become yellow, wash them well in soap and water, then place them while still wet in the sunshine.

United States Short On Small Atom Weapons So-Colled Tactical Weapon Supply Is Short In Nation (EDITOR’S NOTE: The United States has what it believes to be the largest stockpile of atomic weapons in the world, there is a deficiency in that supply that is causing concern. United Press Correspondent Joseph L. Myler reports on the situation in the following dispatch.) By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP)—More power is packed in the U.S. atomic stockpile than was ever used in war—but the armed forces are a long way from having all the nuclear weapons they want. This fact was highlighted again in testimony Tuesday before a Senate Armed Services Committee task force by Assistant Army Secretary Frank H. Higgins and Lt. Gen. Carter B. Magruder. The deficiency is not in A-bombs and H-bombs big enough to wipe out targets ranging in size from an airport to a mammoth city. There are enough of those—and their number is growing—to destroy most targets worthy of them in Russia. Small Weapons Lacking The deficiency is in small, socalled tactical atomic weapons—weapons designed for every special purpose known to warfare from sinking an enemy submarine to knocking down an enemy bomber. Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo) said at the hearing that he had “very startling” information about “the lack of production of small atomic weapons.” Magruder agreed it would be “three to five years” before the •Army has enough tactical atomic weapons to reduce use of conventional ammunition in a war by as much as 25 per cent. Higgins said equipping the Army with small atomic weapons is “progressing very nicely,” but he added that it is “largely a development program, still.” It is a fact that actual production of atomic weapons is at an all-time high. The production pace jumped so fast in the past six months that the Atomic Energy Commission has had to project new expansions of its weapons manufacturing plant... .............. AEC Cites Needs But it still isn’t turning out atomic artillery shells, say, at the production rate of World War II ordnance plants. It still isn’t producing tactical atomic weapons by the tens of thousands. There obviously has been disagreement among members of the AEC as to the relative emphasis that ought to be put on big bombs for the Strategic Air Command and smaller weapons for, say. Army troops. Commissioner Thomas E. Murray said last April 21 “very small” atomic weapons should be manufactured in the “tens of :housands.” Obviously, when he said that, they weren’t. He made the same proposal just last Sept. 21, and, in effect, repeated it last Nov. 10. Murray’s point was, and is, that the big bombs are big enough for their purpose, which is deterring aggression on a global scale. What’s needed now, he believes, is enough smaller weapons to make America supreme on the battlefield in a “limited war” as well as in any exchange of knockout blows against cities. By “very small” Murray apparently means weapons considerably less potent than the A-bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. That bomb loosed violence equal to 15,000 tons of exploding TNT. The AEC already has tested weap-

CIVIL DEFENSE (Continued Sroin Page On.) other unit if the city of Decatur will endorse the project by purchasing a unit. The radio hams hope eventually to have at least six of the mobile units in this area. Other communities in the county will also be asked to purchase one or more of the units. The base unit will be set up at the Adams county jail, which will serve as civil defense headquarters in case of disaster. The radio units would be valuable, not only in the event of a national emerJency, but also in the case of a *cal, natural disaster. The communications system would tie into the general local civil defense program of disaster relief under t the Red Cross, and traffic control . and protection units under sheriff : Merle Affolder. i The hams have requested an i appropriation of $l5O, which will - be matched by the federal civil defense fund for the purchase of > the mobile radio unit, priced at i S3OO. The eouncil accepted the petir tion and referred it to the board 1 of finance in conjunction with the city board of public works and ’ safety. Mayor Robert Cole as- ! sured the group that action would 1 be taken on the matter as soon j as possible and that the administration would report its decision j to the radio hams in the near future.
