A novelty unit, including a calliope, will be entered in the grand parade by the Decatur Lions. Bormuth explained to the new members that Lions has no ritual, and is the largest service club in the world. It is not the oldest club, 1 but is the fastest growing one, he emphasized. When Melvin Jones, of the Chicago Central businessmen’s club, first got the idea of an international service club, ' luncheon clubs were in vogue. In June, 1917, after three yehrs of work. 24 clubs gathered in Chicago and associated together. Later, they formally convened in Dallas. Texas, and adopted the name. International Association of Lions clubs. For five or six years the new organization added a club a day. The other clubs then switched to community service as well as luncheon meetings, and today there are more than 50 national service clubs. Bormuth stated that today there are 56J..048 Lions, ip 13,022 cjubs in 78 countries. There are 363 dubs in Indiana, which is the seventh ranking number of clubs. Jle added that Lions stood for "liberty - intelligence - our - nation’ssafety.’’ He closed with a lecture entitled "speed, and four questions, concerning the speed of present day life, and whether it was rushing us through our spiritual life.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad, it brings results.

DISTRICT CONSERVATIONIST Jack Hurst, left, coaches as Leslie Ploughe, Adams Central senior, fires on the range ip the industrial arts room of the Adams Central school. The 50-foot indoor .22 rifle range was constructed this year for the 60-man Adams Central junior rifle club. Looking on is Doyle Collier, right, industrial arts instructor and school sponsor of the group.—'Staff Photo)

A five-man demonstration of in-, door rifle fire in the Adams Central gvm at the open house Friday night will close the first year of activity for the Adams Central junior rifle Club. The club, sponsored by Doyle Collier, shop instructor, and coached by Jack Hurst, district conservation officer, had one official inter-school match this year, and lots of practice. - i Hurst and Collier planned thie club several years ago when both were teachers at the summer 4-H camp. They noted that high school youths used firearms but often were not trained in proper handling methods. ■ The main purpose of the club is to stress safety in the handling of weapons. Only boys who earnestly desire to learn may join the club. i Hurst and Collier then contacted the national! rifle association. That group sent for an indoor range). In the school shop a backstop was constructed. A huge sheet of one-quarter, inch steel plate was installed in the backstop at a*4s-degree angle. This deflects the .22 caliber bullets into 4 to 6 inches of sand. The entire backstop, whch is extremely heavy, is located in the back of the Adams Central shop room. The ,-4ub was officially formed last October. It meets every two weeks, on Friday, during the regular aetvitites class. More than 60 boys were in the. dub during the first year. The five seniors who will make the demonstration Friday night are Leslie Ploughe, Mark Ripley, Bob Wechter, Ron Gerber and Emanuel Gerber. They will demonst"ija'te all the positions before firing in the prone position, with sling. The dub recently "qualified to receive six rifles, .22 caliber, from the department of defense and ammunition for practice. The rifles w$ be received in time for use next year. The present arrangement allows three boys to fire at once on the 50-foot range. Each youth has a coach, beside him to help, caution, instruct, and record. Before any boy is allowed to fire, a thorough coursage in markmanship is given. Collier and Hurst started by teaching the history of firearms. Then classes were held in naming the parts of the rifle, types of ammunition, safety and control, range pro-

. cedure and operations, sighting and aiming, calling the shot, shooting positions and position rules. Four positions, prone, kneeling, sitting, and standing — are taught. Each boy goes through the positions many times before he handles a loaded weapon. Since all the boys use rifles at home. Collier and Hurst feel that praticing safety will greatly benefit them. Only one rtfle tn at ch was scheduled this year, because the boys had had no experience. The match, held two weeks ago with Berne, resulted in an Adams Central victory, 411 to 292. Five persons from each school fired, prone arid standing. The Berne group had been unable to practice on its own outdoors range northwest of Berne, and had used the Adams Central indoor range for all its firing. Matches may be held next year with many other teams in this area. Collier said, if the schedules can be arranged. Several Fort Berne, Bluffton, and many smaller Wayne schools have teams, as do schools in the area. With the exception of the demonstration Friday night at 8 o’clock, the club has closed its firing for the season with an intrasquad match Friday. Program Saturday At Bluffton Legion Grover Sheets Post 111, American Legion, at Bluffton, will conduct a program on “Legion loyalty day” Saturday, opening with a barbecue chicken dinner from 1 4 to 8 p.m. in front of the post home. A ceremony for disposal of unserviceable flags will be held at 6.m., and a prayer for world peace will be conducted at 6:30 p.m. by the Rev. Otto C. Busse, pastor of St. Paul's* Lutheran church at Preble, and a former chaplain of the state department of the Legion. A parade will be staged at 7 o’clock, including many drum and bugle corps, color guards, firing squads, Legion novelty cars, national guard units, high school bands and other local units. The program will close with a dance and open house at the Legion home from 9 ot 12:30 a.m. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — they bring results.

Local Man Receives Swindle Type Letter Third Os Fortune Offered For Help A letter of the “Spanish Swindle" type was received recently from Mexico by Dr. N. A. Bixler, of Decatur, and reported to postal authorities. Letters of this type are often received from foreign countries. Kirsch “said, and local residents usually Mexico, postmaster Leo should beware of any such letter. An answer will eventually lead to a request for funds. The letter reads as follows: “Dear Sir: A person who knows you and who has spoken very highly about you, has made me trust you with a very delicate matter on which depen/S the entire future of my daughter, as well as my very existence. “I am in prison, sentenced for bankruptcy and I wish to know if you are willing to help me to save the sum of $450,000 which I have in bank bills hidden in a secret compartment of a trunk that is now deposited in a custom-house in the United States. “As soon as you send undeniable evidence it fs necessary that you come here and pay the expenses incurred in connection with my process, so the embargo on my suitcases can be lifted — one of which suitcases, contains very well concealed a baggage check that was given to me at the time of ;checking my truck for North ’America, and which trunk contains the sum above said. “To compensate you for all your troubles I will give-you the third partmf said sum. “Due to the fact that*l am in charge of the prison school I can write you like that and entirely at liberty. "I beg you to treat this matter with the utmost reserve and discretion. “Fearing that this letter might have gone astray or that it would not reach your hands I will not sign my name until I hear from you, and then I will entrust you with all my secret. B9r the time being I will only sign “V". “So in case you accept my proposition please air mail your letter to a person of my entire trust who will to me safely and rapidly.- This is his name and address:" The letter, written by typewriter in capitals, is in poor spelling, punctuation and grammar, and includes theen the address of the “contact.” Os course, if followed through, “V” would ask for money for expenses for his daughter and self, swindling the receiver. Speaker Scheduled For Rotary Meeting Harry W. Brown, wholesale manager of Cupp, Inc., of Fort Wayne, will speak on the fundamentals of air conditioning in industry's future growth at the weekly dinner meeting of the Decatur Rotary club Thursday evening at the Youth and Community Center. The Cupp organization is a dis--tributor outlet for the General Electric Co.

Pamper Baby Calves A Little For Best Results Says Purina Growing plans in Purina *s Dairy book suggest that calves be kept in individual pens for the first 10 days, then moved into larger pens with calves their own size. Individual pens should be at least 4 feet square. Calves in group pens each need 25 square feet. Don't tie calves. * Let calf suck for 3 days to get first colostrum milk which will help regulate digestive system. On the fourth day take away all milk and feed Purina Nursing Chow gruel. For best results be sure calf stretches her neck to drink. Place bucket about a foot above the floor and tilt toward calf. Place dry Calf Startena before calf, too. Feed Nursing Chow for four weeks, then quit. Self-feyi Calf Startena from 4 days to 4 months. Keep block salt and water before calves. Start feeding bright leafy hay when calvfes are two months old. Feed The Right Starter For Better Results Later Just as it is important to balance your grain right for older birds and animals, it is also important to give your farm babies the right start in life with their own special complete Purina Chow. Whether it is Calf Startena, Chick Startena, Pig Startena, or one of the other famous Purina Starters, we have the complete ration you need to get your livestock and poultry started on the right road to profitable production. With our safe starters, you can expect to get better results from your grain when we mix it into Check-R-Mix Growing and Fattening rations.

Since thfc introduction of Purina *s new “Fast-Start" Twins farmer after farmer has set new weaning weight records. And, best of all. the cost per lb. to weaning weight often has been reduced. Early gains are the cheapest and the “Fast-Start” Twins have sure done a job of making gains early and fast. Just start creep feeding Baby Pig Chow at 7 days or before. It's a highly palatable feed containing Purfl-Fat and Pura-Sweet, vitamins, minerals, and all other known ingredients to make baby pigs eat and ghin early. Good any time, especially when sow is a poor milker. Feed one 50-!b. bag per fitter and switch litter over to Purina Pig Startena to keep pigs gaining fast. Ask to see local figures made by your neighbors hogs. Then check them. You'll be surprised. Grain Isn’t Cheap Make It Produce There was a time when corn belt farmers were burning corn for fuel.
