The weather man called a truce in his attack with rain and bad weather on our Community and dealt us some sunshine and warm temperature for Easter Sunday. Citixens ot Decatur, young and old responded by donning their finest outfits and attending Church. It was a wonderful day. —-o— —o—— Decatur Elks were host Sunday to several hundred Decatur area children for the annual Easter Egg hunt. The local lodge, long a leader in civic undertakings, left nothing undone to provide an interesting search by the children, for the coveted eggs. The kiddies scampered all over the spacious Elks property and there was a special candy treat for all who did not find any decorated eggs. It was a fine event and committee members should receive high compliment for the precision like manner in which the endeavor was carried out. We are glad that present reports reveal that the four Berne young men, hurt last week in an auto mishap near Decatur indicate all will recover. The accident struck close to us. because one of the four Injured young men was Rodney Schwartz, son of our long time friend and respected competitor, Simon Schwartz, editor of the Berne Witness. It was fine to learn today that the young men, all Berne high school students, were well on the road to recovery; The accident, while regrettable, was unavoidable. —. ■ o— Congress is adjourned for ten days and the President is in the midst of another vacation, but the world keeps chugging right along. Flowers soon will be in bloom and even with taxes as are, it isn't such a bad place in which to live. Most of (he drives for funds are completed and about the only thing to plug editorially is the importance of all people between the ages of LZLjona year and forty is to get their polio shots immediately. There are more than fifty million adults who so far have neglected to be ? vaccinated for polio and if this task is neglected, several million of those people will contract the | dreaded disease. Better arrange i 'to get your immunization immediately.

Major League baseball teams are now settling dawn to the long : . season of the summer months. Considering weather conditions, opening day attendance was excellent and indications are this will be a banner season. Experts must now keep their fingers crossed until next fall to ascertain bow good their guesses were. o o——* If you’re looking around for a vacation spot, not too far away, try Fontana Village in the North Carolina mountains, just across the Tennessee state line. This unique year around resort is located in the Smokey mountains and has about everything you could wish for, including fishing, boating, swimming with a special pool for kiddies, and a planned dally recreational and social program. The only slight inconvenience is for the golfer who must drive 25 miles to a golf course. Otherwise, everything is at your command. Scenery is tops this time of year and accommodations are excellent. If you try it, it’s almost a certainty that you will return to Fontana Village. Complete information can be had by writing, Manager, Fontana Village, Fontana Dam, North Carolina. _—o o The people of Adams county have lost a faithful friend and a hard-working and efficient public' servant in the death Saturday of John Kintz, president of the county commissioners. The prominent and respected Washington township farmer died suddenly while on a business trip to Decatur. Mr. Kintz worked at his job cont;tanty will be most difficult for his successor to demonstrate the same interest and ability on the job. In addition to bls farm work and numerous official duties, Commissioner Kintz took the time to be a model family head and faithful Churchman. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus lodge and Holy Name society. A member of St. Marys Catholic Church, Mr. Kintz took an active part in many of . its functions. We join his numerous friends and business and political associates in offering sympathy and strength to the members of the Kintz family in this time of their great sorrow. Their loss is also our loss.

Uurge Pay Increases To College Teachers Group Os Educators Calls For Pay Hike WASHINGTON (UP) — A group of educators called today for pay raises ranging up to 125 per cent for college and university professors during the next 10 years. The educators said faculty salaries are ’lamentably” low and the severe shortage of qualified teachers in some fields will grow even worse unless substantial wage increases are forthcoming. The recommendation was described as a first step in preparing the nation’s 1,855 colleges and universities for a decade erf tremendous expansion. It was the highlight of a report by a 20-member Educational Policies Commission after a fdur-year study. The commission, headed by Dr. Herman Wells, president of Indiana University, was appointed jointly by the National Education Assn, and the American Association of School Administrators. President Eisenhower’s own Committee on Education Beyond High School is also studying the problems but has not yet made its report. ‘ The Educational Policies Commission reported that: —The tidal wave of post-war children which already has washed over the public schools soon will hit the colleges. Enrollment, now’ about three million, wil increase steadiy until it reaches between five and seven million in 1970. —“lt seems impossible” to absorb all of the increase by expansion of existing schools and" "a number of new institutions,” particularly junior colleges and “community colleges” will be required. —To meet rising education costs, colleges will need increased financial sifoport from their own alumni, from corporations, churches and foundations, and from all levels of government. Without recommending a specific program, the commission said "increased federal aid seems essential.” The commission said the “most urgent” need, however, is improving the lot of teachers who, on the average, now receive $5,243 a year.
GOP Running ; Into Conflict ...• Over Platform Grass Roots Views Now In Conflict To Campaign Platform WASHINGTON (UP)—The GOP seems to be running into a conflict between its 1956 campaign platform and its reading of grass roots sentiment in 1957. This same challenge—to two of the platform planks—also raises a threat to President Eisenhower’s legislative program which seeks to carry out these pledges. A week end back, Chairman Meade Alcorn of the Republican National ' Committee confessed that the Omaha regional GOP organizing conference had turned up much opposition to foreign economic aid and federal aid for school construction. He said these findings would be included in a report to the White House after the party organization completes its spring series of regional meetings. Commitments Made The 1956 GOP platform contains this statement: “Four thousand communities... encouraged our Republican administration to urge a five - year program of federal assistance in building schools to relieve a critical classroom shortage. The Republican Party will renew its efforts to enact a program based on sound principles of need and designed to encourage increased state and local efforts to build more classrooms." And this one: “Technical and economic assistance programs are effective coun-ter-measures to Soviet economic offensives and propaganda. They provide the best way to create the political and social stability essential to lasting peace.” Change Os Sentiment? These commitments were accepted by the GOP before President Eisenhower sent Congress a 72 billion dollar spending budget, including $1,750,000,000 for foreign economic aid and 185 million dollars for school construction. During his reelection campaign, Eisenhower said he would Congress to telescope his fiveyear school program into four years. He has since asked Congress to authorize spending $1,300,000,000 in four years for aid to schools. He also has repeatedly defended the foreign economic aid program as vital to the national security of the United States—as a weapon to check the spread of Communism. It remains to be seen whether the sentiment found at Omaha will appear at the other regional conferences, particularly those where the Eisenhower brand of “Modern Republicanism” will be stronger than in the Midwest. The next meeting is scheduled for Providence, R.1., next week end for the New England states. Stevenson Confirms Merger Os Law Firm CHICAGO (IF — Aldi E.

Stale Budget Group Studies Building New State Office Building Planned INDIANAPOLIS (IB — The Indiana State Budget Committee met today with plans for a multi-million-dollar state office building high on its agenda. Committee members hoped to outline general plans for construction under, terms of an enabling act of the 1957 Legislature, permitting the state to finance a structure through a lease-rental arrangement with private business or through a bond issue. The committee, headed by Rep. Laurence D. Baker of Kendallville, also was scheduled to consider proposals to allocate more than $125,000 to Versailles State Park for construction of a bridge and bathhouse, and $32,000 to aircondition the state library. The committee spent two days in Ohio last week studying an aerial photography system of recording proposed new highway routes and the use of electronic devices to determine construction and drainage problems.
