Sherwin Williams Plans Branch Here • Paint Company Will Open Decatur Store The Sherwin Williams Co,, world’s largest paint manufacturer, today announced plans to open a branch outlet at 222 North Second street, in a building owned by Edgar Mutschler, and formerly occupied by the August cafeteria. The Decatur branch will operate both as a retail outlet and a service center for'painting contractors and for Serwin Williams dealers in this area. E. T. Herzog, regional director for the company, stated, “we selected pecafur for a new branch because this is a progressive community. An analysis of recent residential and industrial growth indicates a need for a complete paint and color service center. "After remodeling we will open the most completely stocked paint outlet in this area. Our inventory will include a full line of interior finishes and exterior house paints, plus special finishes used by the professional painter. This branch will also be able io serve manufacturers in the area with specialized product finishes." No date has been set for formal opening olthe branch, but it is expected to be ready for business later this month. Low Temperature Records In State '■ 14 Above Zero At Fort Wayne Record By UNITED PRESS Temperatures dropped to record levels not too far above the zero mark Tuesday, trailing an unseasonal killer snowstorm that dumped up to a foot of the white stuff over the lush green Indiana landscape. The mercury fell to 12 at Goshen, 14 above zero at Fort Wayne, 19 at South Bend and 20 at Indianapolis.. The Fort Wayne mark was the coldest ever recorded this late in the season in that city, and the 20 at Indianapolis broke by one degree the old record for April 9 that lasted since 1914. A two-day snowfall, unique for this late in the 20-day-old spring season, dumped amounts ranging unofficially up to 12 and perhaps as many as 13 inches on upstate 'areas. . Two inches fell gt Indianapolis during a Monday afternoon squall, and the amount tapered off toward the south. At dawn Tuesday, four inches of snow were on the ground in some northern areas listed officiially by the weather bureau. 7 Deaths Blamed At least seven Hoosier deaths were blajned on the weather. Three fatal 'accidents Monday and three Sunday were reported by authorities to be due to hazardous highway conditions caused by snow, ice and slush. In addition, Howard Gard, 70, Wawaka, fell dead of a heart attack due to over-exertion while shoveling heavy snow in front of his home. The new precipitation sent more surface water trickling into streams already in flood stage from days of heavy rain. But observers believe the new moisture would not change appreciably earlier predictions of crests on the main rivers—the Wabash and the White. > ’> 7 ' * The most heartwarming news from the weatherman Tuesday was that the cold spell appears to be on its way out. Temperatures were due to warm up Tueshday to highs of 44 to 55. They will drop to lows of just below freezing over most of the state. Tuesday night, but highs Wednesday will be even warmer than Tuesday’s—ranging from 48 north to 60 south. The precipitation also appeared to have run itself out. None was predicted for Tuesday or Wednesday, and the outlook for Thursday was fair to partly cloudy and mild. April Never So Cold Weathermen said the 14-degree temperature at Fort Wayne was two degrees colder than any previous April reading there. The snow fait after lawns over most of the state had grown a brilliant green, shrubs had leafed and spring flowers including the yellow forsythia were in bloom. Precipifatiqn totals for the 24hour pfedod ending at 7;30 a. m. Tuesday ranged up to 1.02 jn°h es at Muncie, .71 at Winchester, .67 at Indianapolis and generally ■ below half-an-inch in other areas. Deep SnPW Drifts Bother Motorists Deep snow drifts throughout the county gave motorists trouble Monday night as four or five inches of snow piled upon the roads, and drifts two feet high were reported. Omer Merriman, Root township trustee, reported that he pulled three motorists out of a snowdrift with his tractor before a model A Ford broke a path through. The big drift was A. quarter mile west of the Merriman residence.

Miss Claramae Tumer\ Closes Concert Season

By Marlene Laurent The captivating voice and personality at Miss Claramae Turner entranced the Adams county civic music association audience at the Decatur Youth and Community Center Monday night in the association’s final concert of the season. Miss Turner, whose arrival in Decatur was delayed by weather conditions, proved worth waiting for according to comments of the hundreds of music-lovers who braved last night's bad weather to hear, one of America’s bestloved vocalists. A program ranging from delightful folk music, through classical and modern opera, to humor and modern ballads, gave Miss Turner many opportunities to display the talent that has pushed her to stardom among vocalists. Her own charming personality was apparent immediately in her first group of folk songs which included "Bright Phbebus" by James Hook, “Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair," “May Day Carol" and "Man Is For the tinman Made.” Her ability to create any mood was proven in the second group of four German songs which enabled her to present power and emotional impact, loving tenderness, a gay and rollicking personality and deep peace. The outstanding dramatic ability, her richness of voice and her technical perfection were all especially obvious in her remarkable presentation of an aria from “Werther” by Jules Massenet. Following the intermisison, the versatile vocalist presented three Spanish songs. Her amazing voice caught all of the fire and passion which is typical of Spanish music. This group of songs in particular showed her marvelous range of voice. Miss Turner has both contralto and mezzo-soprano qualities and few singers can boast the perfection which she exhibits in both ranges. A treat to the audience was her rendition of one of the beloved Neapolitan love songs. Probably the highlight of the concert was her presentation of an aria from "The Medium" by Gian-Carlo Menatti. Miss Turner was chosen by the composer to create the title role of Madame Flora in this modern opera and the role calls for all of the vocal and dramatic ability of this great artist. Miss Turner ended her program in a lighter vein, delighting her audience with humorous songs and a Negro spiritual, “The Witness." Her enthusiastic listeners demanded three encores and she graciously obliged by presenting a unique rendition of the Habenera from the opera "Carmen,” which featured both the classical and the modern versions of this aria. The second encore was another humorous song, “Leopold the Lion” by Martin Kalmanoff. The final song was “Everybody’s Got a Home But Me” from the musical “Pipe Dream” by Rodgers and Kammerstein. The only disappointment of the evening was her neglect to sing “You'll Never Walk Alone,” which Miss Turner did so beautifully in the movie, “Carousel." Last night's audience now understands the superlatives that are always assoclaetd with this famous voice. It is no wonder that she has endeared herself to music critics and audiences all over the United States. Miss Turner was the guest of honor at a reception' immediately following the concert and many

members of the association were able to meet her personally and to express their gratitude for the evening’s fine entertainment. Civic music members are now looking .forward to next season when they will hear the Indianapolis Symphony in a return engagement, the Vienna choir boys, the Rablnoffs, a piano-violin team, Nelson and Neal, a duo-piano team, and James Pease, internationally acclaimed bass-bari-tone. 104 Pints Os Blood Donated At Berne Mrs. Ed Bauer, chairman of the Adams county Red Cross blood program, announced that 104 pints of blood were collected during Monday's visit of the bloodmobile in Berne. In spite of the bad weather, 123 persons appeared to donate blood. Mrs. Bauer stated that she was especially pleased with the success of the visit since lack of telephone service in the area made scheduling difficult. The Rev. Gordon Neuenschwander was chairman for the visit. Mrs. Bauer stated that 10 donors became members of the one gallon club and two persons entered the two gallon club.. Trade in a good town — Decatur
