Decatur enjoyed another weekend of motoring through the streets without view or vision being blurred by parked freight cars near railroad crossings. This practice of eliminating parking of freight cars near street intersections is a great safety measure and also is splendid for property owners who can get a glimpse of neighbors’ homes Tor a change. The local railroads are surely to be complimented for their fine cooperation. p The World Day of Prayer held last Friday under the auspices of the Decatur Council of Church Women was a success both from an attendance standpoint and from the fact that those in charge are sure that every person wfro ■ attended the service left with a better idea of the purpose of the meeting. Officers reported excellent attendance, which is a normal Decatur reaction to any good movement. It’s wonderful to live in a community like ours where response to all good things is spontaneous. ■ o o Trouble makers already are suggesting loopholes in the new time law, which gives us seven months of central standard time and five months of daylight saving time each year. There are some who suggest that business and industry can continue to operate on the fast time the year around, which is probably true. Why do it? It would tend to break down our law enforcement and suggest a disregard for other laws which we might not like. Let's give the time solution, as passed by the General Assembly a. chance and if we don't like it, we can seek its change in two years. o—o—— Robert Smith, attorney, is Decatur Rotary clnb’s new president and he will administer the affairs of that club for the next year. That Rotary will have a good , year, is a foregone conclusion. In numerous activities including the Stratton Place association and other civic enterprises the Deca*tur attorney has been a leader and has proved his ability in every occasion. Mr. Smith fits well into the many extra activities in which he has engaged and for a long time he has beep a leader in the legal profession. We congratulate him and also Rotary for its good selection of a President.

Mrs. Fannie Dutcher Nyffeler, long time active in the St. Marys township Farmers Institute and former school teacher has died. A devout church-woman, Mrs. Nyffeler has operated her St Marys township farm southeast of Decatur following the death of her husband. Mrs. Nyffeler suffered a fractured hip in a fall at her home about fourteen months ago and never fully recovered. We join her friends, neighbors and Farmer Institute associates in extending sympathy to the Nyffeler family. ——o o The board of zoning appeals is an instrument set up by statute, to control and encourage orderly growth of communities. This board works long hours, without remuneration, and often is severely criticised for merely following the ordinance. The members do a magnificent job and are to be complimented on their willingness to serve and the ability which they have demonstrated. Before you criticise, remember the Appeals board must follow the law and often must disappoint some home owner who is planning to remodel or rebuild. This is one of those thankless tasks, which good citizens have forded on them because they want the most in the world to live in and be part of a good community. _—o— —o— — Congratulations to Paul Schmidt, Decatur high school student, who won the Fourth district American Legion oratorical contest and the honor to represent this congressional district at the state contest. Competition in these contests always is keen and close. Mr. Schmidt has brought no little amount of honor to his school- and to himself. He is an honor roll student here and all through his high school career he has shown high ability in the forensic art. Congratulations also are proper for Deane Dorwin, instructor of speech at Decatur high school who has given many hours to training these young men and women, and to Paul's parents, Rev. and Mrs. Edgar P. Schmidt for the encouragement they have given their son. It is a high and lasting honor for the winner and for the school and for all of those helpful in his success. We wish for this young orator continued victory as he enters the final round of competition.

The concert series contemplated for this year would cost four or five times the $7.50 dues for memberships in the Adams County Civic Music Association if heard elsewhere,” Hill said. Communities the size of Decatur and Berne would not be able to present any type of concert, much less five outstanding concerts by internationally'famous artists if it were not for the program presented by Civic Concert Service. “Through this non-profit, non-guar-antor, cooperative plan of operation where the more memberships we have the more money we have for selection of artists and attractions. Decatur and Berne can again look for an oversubscribed membership enrollment and another outstanding series of concerts,” Hill concluded. Headquarters for the campaign will again be located in the Decatur Community' Center and at the Berne Witness offices, and will be open daily from 10 to 5:30. Interested persons wanting a new membership or renewals are urged to get their dues to either headquarters immediately as the drive ends Saturday, at 6 p.m.

Score Publicity On Eisenhower's Cold Reporter Defends Health Publicity By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer WASHINGTON (UP)—Backstairs at the White House: Friends of President Eisenhower —some of them, at least—feel that too much has been made of the chief executive's cold, cough and inflamed ear canal, in print and over the air. At a GOP party last week for Leonard W. Hall, the former Republican national chairman, several of the guests took a look at the smiling President who was sharing honors with Hall, then proceeded to berate some of the correspondents present for “making the President out to be a sick man.” One Republican leader tols this reporter: “I don’t want to get in any public quarrel with you fellows, but why pound day after day on the President’s cold? Why create the impression that he’s in serious shape when actually he’s suffering from the same thing that hits just about every family this time of year? “Heck, you've got a cold; I’ve got a cold. Do we make a production of it? No, but just let the President sniffle and the papers and television have him on the way to the hospital.” This is a specious argument. When there is anything wrong with the President, however minor, it deserves and attracts public attention. Mr. Eisenhower’s own press secretary, James C. Hagerty, realizes this and makes every effort to keep the reporters fully informed on the President’s health. If a reporer has a cold, no one cares outside of his family or his employer. But when the President is ailing, it is a matter of national and even international importance. Unattractive as it may be, there also remains the fact that because within a year Mr. Eisenhower suffered two major illnesses—heart attack and ileitus — minor variations in his health today attract more than usual attention.
