man r-.- - - ■ - ■ **■■*-■- You have all this month to make your contribution to the annual cancer fund campaign. You may be next to contract the disease, and if aU of us give liberally tor research, cancer soon will be conquered. Give now to the Adams county Cancer Fund. Send your check to Don Bieberich, First State Bank, treasurer. o »*— Don't forget, you can get your polio vaccine now. It will be reserved during the summer months for children. It you put it off, next time you think of it might be from your hospital bed —end then it will be too late. Do it right now. * . 0 M ■— Postmaster General Summerfield seems to egt his foot in worse all the time. With his impotent threats, he has not only aroused the ire of Congress, but he mw has the people good and mad. It's a dangerous situation far the Postmaster-General and it’s doubtful if he can come out of it with his portfolio. * I O' ■ OPostmaster General Summerfield, with his threat to stop Saturday mail deliveries, in order to force Congress to give him more funds, has the cart before the horse. Why wouldn’t it be best for him to fire some 3,500 postal executives and top brass and let the mail clerks and delivery men continue to give the splendid service that they have always rendered. No one would miss Summerfield and his top henchmen, who are probably playing golf, attending a horse race or drinking a highball right now. •» nan O 1 11 ‘ Boating is fast becoming one of summer’s major pest-times. Boats ranging in price from a .. couple of hundred dollars to I many thousand dollars are now on the market and motors to run them, run from a hundred dollars to a thousand dollars. Many people have elaborate boat trail- ■'* ers which they attach to their ■’ automobile and in a few hours their entire party is at the waterside ready for an enjoyable and relaxing boat trip. In addition to hundreds of available Indiana and southern Michigan lakes, Decatur is only 150 miles from Lake Erie and 155 miles from Lake Michigan.

F Taking his usual long week-end ' rest, President Eisenhower stopped the "speed maniac" foolishness on the Maryland highways and according to reports his automobile was held down under a speed of 55 miles an hour all the way from Washington to Gettysburg. It's-just as important for the Presidential car to drive carefully as it is a Decatur delivery truck. o O’while the weather hasn’t been much inducement, people are beginning to think about their spring clothing needs and are starting to fit up their Easter wardrobes. Shopping has increased the last few days in both men’s and women’s clothing and accessories. While the upward trend in shopping has been slow, both because of the holding on of winter and the lateness of Easter, local merchants are anticipating a rush in the next ten days. Shoppers will be wise if they compare values in local stores, with other retail shopping areas. Your dollars will go farther and you’ll get the most for your money, from groceries to nails, if you shop in Decatur. — ' ''O o— The best news for Decatur citizens in the last several weeks is the announcement of last week by Mayor Robert Cole that work has started to connect Decatur electric power outlets with the Indiana-Michigan system, so this city would be able to operate its industries and be lighted, no matter what happened to the local steam or diesel generating plants. A temporary service line is being brought here which can be used for any emergency and in a few months a permanent connection with the I and M system will be made. Thus will be ended one of Decatur’s chief drawbacks in our march of progress. We are not yet ready to invite industry to Decatur, because we have a water and sewer problem. These important phases of our progress are being solved, and those close to the situation believe that soon our utility problems will be successfully ended. Mayor Cole, the Council and the department heads have worked tirelessly to bring the city out of the power and water muddles and apparently they have succeeded. They are to be congratulated for their success.
