Tile Rev. W. H. Kirkpatrick, Church of God. has been chosen to do the honors. This annual service always opens the week of festivities for the graduating class and is a most solemn occasion. The affair is open to the public and always draws a full house of parents and friends of the candidates for degrees. o O "■ More than half the counties in now have established county Plan Commissions, and almost every county where the system has been established, there are favorable reports. Planning for future development on | a county-wide basis is not restrictive, it is protective. Farmers now days have beautiful homes and yards and they dislike the auto junk yards, and similar things just as much as a city resident does. Some day when the planning system is universal, the entire countryside will be blended into a panoramic scene of beauty. Farmers are entitled *to the system just as much as their city-cousins are.

■ In spite of the cool tempera■tures over last week-end many ■people of this area spent last SatMurday and Sunday at various InHdiana lake resorts. Most of the W cottagers were readying their Vsummer retreats for a busy sum- ▼ mertime outing. Boats were launched and docks were set in the water. Boating has become a top summer recreation in the last few seasons and outboard motors from three to thirty horsepower take various sized boats skimming through the water, either for a pleasure ride or fishing trip. 7 o— —o Lobbyists for television groups and advertising agencies apparently have been able to slow down and perhaps stop completely the proposed investigation of false and misleading advertising by various concerns on television. These fakirs which appear frequently during some of programs claim that their products will cure cavities in teeth, give you a Hollywood complexion or cure - headaches before you can count ‘three. They are doing their level best to cause the public to lose faith in all advertising and certainly they should be investigated with a view of passing better control legislation. In the mean-' time, don't be misled. Consult your family physician and dentist. o—o Gail M. Grabill, Adams county superintendent of schools was unanimously reelected to that .. post by the township,trustees last Satu-uay. Superintendent Grabill rank* Risk _m an gyrator in In- i diana and his unanimous approval by his trustees substantiates this fact. Adams county boasts the finest schools in Indiana and it is only proper that the man who is largely responsible for this fact, be retained as school head. A tireless worker, Supt. Grabill, starting his third year in the important schoolpost deserves the congratulations of all the people of the county. Wehope that his tenure in the present of--fice will continue for a long time vwith the always increasing success it has had this first three years.

He is a Methodist. j Then the priest who married McCarthy and the former Jean Kerr in 1953, the Rev. William J. Await, conducted Catholic services. Dr. Harris called on McCarthy’s Senate colleagues to pledge anew never to falter in fighting communism "until this torn and tortured earth is made safe for decency, truth, honor, and the pledged word.” > The Senate chaplain acknowledged that McCarthy was a controversial figure. But he said, “We unite in gladly acknowledging that, unscathed by all differences of judgment regarding methods - adopted for attaining worthy goals, in the heart of Joseph McCarthy there burned the bright flame of patriotism pure and undefiled." Senate Chamber Filled Mrs. McCarthy and other members of the family sat in a secluded area, just off the Senate chamber, where they could see and hear through open doors but be shielded from the gaze of the crowd. Scores of House members and other special guests stood at the back of the Senate chamber. There were not nearly enough seats for ati. A great majority of the Senate’s 95 living members were in their seats. Among others were former Ssn. Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo.), who was a member of the six-man committee which recommended * censure in 1954. The House was represented officially by Speaker Sam Rayburn, Democratic Leader John W. McCormack (Mass.), RepubHcan Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass.), Democratic Whip Carl Albert (Okla.) and Republican Whip Leslie C. Arends (Ill.). On McCarthy’s desk was a spray of gladioli, carnations and anthirium from Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.). Against the casket rested a spray of white gladioli and white carnations from the Senate. Banked against the presiding officer’s rostrum was a mass* of -flowers. —■ The galleries were filled. "Senate Was His Life” Father Await began Bis prayers with, “Go forth upon thy journey, Christian soul.” Continuing, the priest said “Be merciful, be gracious, spare him, Lord. Spare him from the sins that are past... we commend to thee, O Lord, the soul of thy servant, Joseph.” Father Await said that in the Mass at the cathedral, “the church has given the late senator the greatest honors she can bestow.’ He said McCarthy often went to the cathedral and “sought the help and solace there he needed.” He said it was “only fitting” that McCarthy be honored in the Senate, for “the Senate was his life. He labored for it tirelessly and. as we now know, to the detriment of his health...his faith

wu the Inspiration for his service.” V The service over, Mrs. McCarthy fought back the tears as she walked out of the Capitol. Members of the family group and close friends followed. Several hundred persons crowded the Capitol plaza as the eight, sharply drilled Marine pallbearers placed the coffin in the hearse. Mrs. McCarthy and some of the family followed in a black limousine. The casket was taken to a waiting Military Air Transport Service plane at Bolling Air Force Base for the flight to Green Bay, Wis. From there, the body will be taken by hearse to Appleton, Wis., for Tuesday’s final rites and burial. Spring Meeting Os Circuit Is Held Lutheran Circuit A Holds Meeting The spring meeting of circuit A, consisting of the ten Lutheran congregations in the Decatur sirea, was held Sunday afternoon at Bethlehem Lutheran church near Ossian. The Rev. Harry Behning, host pastor, was the principal speaker. Rev. Behning, who is a member of the newly formed rural life commission of the central district, Lutheran church-Misaourl synod, explained the functions of this group. He quoted statistics from a recent Purdue University survey to prove that there are still many unchurched people, also in the rural areas. A rural life institute to further study the problems and needs peculiar to country churches will be held at Camp Limberlost August 19 through 21. Its theme will be soil, soul and survival. The Rev. Otto C. Busse gave his final report as circuit visitor. He has declined renomination and a successor will be named ait the central district convention in Fort Wayne next month. The group gave a rising vote of thanks in appreciation of his service during the past several years. The Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt, of Decatur, urged all the congregations to actively participate in the preaching, teaching, reaching evangelistic mission which will be conducted throughout the greater Fort Wayne area in February, 1968. Vern Linker of Zion Friedheim presided. The group's next meeting will be held on the first Sunday in November at Zion Lutheran church in Decatur. II I ’ <ll I ■ ■■■ " ' '■ COUR*.

Loophole Is Disclosed In Soil Bank Law Discrepancy Shown In Reduction And Acres To Be Paid WASHINGTON (UP) — Congressional testimony revealed today that a loophole in the soil bank law will permit farmers to receive federal checks this year for taking some 26 million acres out of production while actually* reducing plantings by only 12 million acres. Assistant Agriculture Secretary Marvin L. McLain said the department has legal authority to close the loophole. But he indicated it hasn’t dared to do so for fear of the political •“heat” such a move would stir up among farmers. He said Congress in enacting the soil bank—which will cost taxpayers a total of about one billion dollars this year—provided ' “no guidance” as to whether it wanted the loophole closed. “We could do it, if we felt that we could take the heat to do it,” McLain explained to a House Appropriations subcommittee behind closed doors April 11. The subcommittee published the testimony today without comment. Rep. Carl Andersen (R-Minn.) raised the issue at the hearing by asking McLain to explain a discrepancy” between the 26 million acres farmers have agreed to put into the soil bank and the reduction of only 12 million acres in total 1957-crop plantings forecast by the department. Could Offset Reductions McLain said the department is not requiring any farmer to re-, duce his total crop plantings as a condition for receiving soil bank payments. They are paid for keeping idle some of the acreage the government has allotted him for planting wheat, cotton, corn, rice and tobacco, he said. If such restrictions were imposed, McLain said, the total reduction in crop plantings this year would equal the amount of land which farmers are paid to keep idle. Without such “safeguards,” he said, many farmers who have land that is normally idle have simply offset their planting reductions in the five surplus crops by planting to barley, soybeans or other 'uncontrolled crop land that would otherwise be idle. For instance, he said, a wheat farmer who plants only 15 acres out of his 100-acre wheat allotment receives payments for taking the 85 acres out of production. “If he has some ground that he had fallowed or has an area where he had moisture, where he had it in clover or alfalfa,” McLain added, “he could plow that up and put it into soybeans, if he wanted to.” Cites An Example In certain instances, McLain said, wheat farmers are allowed to receive soil bank payments for not planting land they would not normally plant, anyway. In such cases, all the farmer has to do is to shift land from wheat into barley or some other crop. McLain cited the following .example: “A farmer with 200 acre? of crop land and a 70-acre wheat allotment normally summer fallows 100 acres, harvests 70 acres of

wheat, and harvest 30 acres of barley. “If the entire 70-acre wheat allotment la placed In the acreage reserve he could designate 70 acres of fallow land aa reaerve acreage. He then could harveat 100 acres of barley in 1957 Instead of his normal 30 acres of barley. •‘lf the entire 70-acre wheat allotment is placed in the acreage reserve he could designate 70 acres of fallow land aa reserve acreage. He then could harvest 100 acres of barley in 1957 instead of his normal 30 acres. •‘This means that the government has paid for a reduction in the wheat surplus appropriate for the 70 acres shifted out of wheat but it has permitted a 70-acre Increase in barley.” Two Are Fined In City Court Today Three men appeared in city court today, two on charges of traffic violations, and the third on a charge of public intoxication. Hershel Boothby, of Bobo, was fined $1 and costs on the public intoxication charge. He was remanded to the Adams county jail for inability to pay his fine. Robert W. Harper, of Fort Wayne, was fined $1 and costs on a charge of running a stop sign. Charges of failure to stop for a stop sign and of speeding against Meredith W. Gerber, of Blue Creek township, were taken under adviserpCnt. William Linn Named On Wage Scale Board William Linn, of Decatur, was appointed today by Mayor Robert Cole to the board which will establish the wage scale for labor to be used in construction of lines bringing Indiana and Michigan power to the city of Decatur. Construction of the permanent line from Hanna-Nuttman park to the city diesel plant and a temporary line to the steam plant is scheduled to begin in the near future. The city's line will begin at the terminal point of the I & M line, which is located in HannaNuttman park. As in all public construction, the wage scale will be determined by a three-man board. This board will include Linn, a representative of the state labor federation and an appointee of the governor.
