People who are past fifty years of age and who are totally disabled and unable to work can start drawing social security July 1, if they are otherwise eligible for that security. If you fall in this category, you should contact the Social Security Office at 717 Fulton Street. Fort Wayne for further instructions. All applications must be acted on before any payments are made by the government. 0 0 Don Bieberich, First State, Bank and treasurer of the Adams county Cancer Society, will receive your contribution any time this month. Cancer research has done so much good in recent years, that scientists now see an early end to the terrible disease. Ytour dollars will bring that day about quicker. The government does not contribute a dime towards this research. It all comes from the pennies and dollars Which you give. ", o») o Mr. Summerfield had his way and last Saturday U. S. mail service was at a standstill. Post offices were closed and there were no mail deliveries. Still Mr. Citizen, you paid for this service you didn’t get. As long as one man has that kind of power, to say from day to day what you can expect for your tax dollar, why should we pay taxes? Suppose the same thing would happen at TV A and suddenly the Tennessee Valley would be without lights and power because one man had decided to reduce working hours? Suppose Mr. Summerfield would suddenly take a notion to declare • three-day week? If we tail to pay ohr taxes on time, a severe penalty is added. How about IT penalty for delinquent public officials? o—o Put a visit to the Decatur Publi| "Library on your schedule this w *ek and plan to take your whole fi mily to see the 1957 edition of II e Egg Tree. This beautiful tree cqggred with all sorts of decorated eggs is an interesting and attra&tive spectacle for every member of your family. Hundreds already have visited the Egg Tree and many have returned with their friends and neighbors. No matter how many you inspect this unique disPW, you’ll always see something new to thrifi you. Assistants at the Library will be glad, too, to teTyou the story of the origin at the project.

Shoppers of the Decatur area are reminded that you still have time to make your Easter and Spring purchases. Watch the advertisements in the Daily Democrat and take advantage of the price-saving values offered you. You will be pleased with the values you get in local retail stores and we know if you shop in Decatur once, you’ll hurry back. o O—— Many indications and actions by Congress point toward a 1958 federal tax reduction. This is not definite, but with the slashing of budgets which are being effected, a cut looks highly favorable. When the reductions are proposed, there will arise that ageold argument of who should benefit the most. There are those who feel that the hundred thousand dollar a year man should receive . the first benefits. This is hardly right because it involves another question of who is that man. Our contention is that there are many people, including heads of manufacturing concerns, actors and others who are not worth what they draw in annual wages. Members of congress who stick with the old rule of greatest benefits for the average family, will be the “people’s choice”. "O" ■ -O People, who are almost daily asked to contribute to dozens of various charities, good will projects and "drives for funds” should investigate the merits of the so-called “do-good” organization and its officers and functions. Today there, are more than 400 national grfitps,' all claiming to be owrthy, who solicit the public for financial help. What do you know about them? How many do you send a dollar or two to? Did you ever stop to think that only a small percentage of your dollar ever gets to the spot where it does much good? People of the United States are perhaps the easiest touch in the world. If we all would check into the worthiness of each soliciting organization before we give, many of the Worthless organizations would soon die a natural death and there would be more for the worthy causes. It is hard for decent organizations to compete with the skalawags unless you help. Don’t be hesitant to with- „ hold any contribution to a questionable organization until you know the facts. You will be doing the world a favor.

Muncie Man Kills Wife And Himself . Prominent Couple Found By Neighbor MUNCIE (UP)—A prominent Muncie businessman who apparently killed his wife and then shot himself died of his wounds late Monday night in Ball Memorial Hospital. Coroner Warren Bergwall said Thomas J. Williams, about 60, an executive of a building and plumbing supply firm, apparently shot his wife, Lillian, 54, a Muncie businesswoman, while she slept in an upstairs bedroom and then went to the basement and shot himself. Mrs. Williams, owner of the Cinderella Dress Shop, was found dead Monday with a pistol wound in her head. Williams was found unconscious with a wound in his head inflicted -by the same weapon. Both the pistol and a shotgun were found beneath Williams’ body. At first authorities believed he shot himself with the shotgun. The couple was found by Gallon Stephens, a mortician whose funeral home was across the street from the Williams home. Alice Evans, a housekeeper, entered the Williams home Monday and found a note which said: “Don’t come into the bedroom. Go across the street and call (Stephens).” Mrs. Evans got Stephens and the two entered the home and found Williams and his wife. Williams left four other notes in addition to the one to Mrs. Evans. They were to his bank, lawyer, Stephens and a "close relative.” Police did not disclose the contents of the other notes. "They were the most congenial people who ever lived,” Stephens said. "But Tom had heart trouble and he was a perfectionist. He wanted everything just right.” The Welcome Wagoq Hostes* JVill Knock on Your Doot with Gift* & Greeting! from Friendly Busineaq Neighbors and Your Civic and Social Welfare Leadera The Birth of a Baby Sixteenth Birthdays EngagementAnnbuncomenM Change of residence Arrivals of Newcomen $0 Decatur Phone 3-3196 or 3-3479
