SOLDIER-FARMER JOHN A. KfNTZ, Jr., of Washington township, stops work Saturday afternoon while a>. pert of the 60 acres he is trying to farm on weekends while awr Xing word on his application for a hardship discharge. Kintz' father, former county commissioner John A. Kintz, died suddenly Aprii 20. leaving Mrs. Kintz and a 15-year-old daughter alone on the farm four miles from town. Neither drives, nor even drives a farm tractor, but thdjl are trying to take care of 500 chickens and four young calves while John, Jr., farms on weekends with- the help of his brothers-in-law,"«y farmers, and the neighbors, who have their own troubles this weFweather. ’ —(Staff Photo)

Army red tape, combined with poor farming weather has resulted in serious hardships for the John A. Kintz family, of Washington township, an investigation here shows. The trouble started two years ago, when the father, county commissioner John A. Kintz, then 58, developed heart trouble. Kintz farmed his own 90 acres, and another 110-acre farm with the aid of his two sons. One was in the Navy at the time, and was killed in a tragic automobile accident in June, 1955, just three months after his discharge. His other son, John, Jr., enlisted in the Army in January, 1955, and was just going overseas when his brother was killed. Young John asked for a deferment from shipment, and helped his father put in his crops for one month. He was told at the time that he could not get a discharge then, in spite of his father’s health. The next year Kintz was imable to find help, and so could tS not farm the extra 110 acres which he had farmed for 19 years. This seriously cut his income, but he worked harder at his other jobs. Then, April 20 this year, while m the bank at Decqtur, the elder Kintz, 60, suffered a fatal heart attack. John, Jr., then in Germany, where he was a specialist third class with the 28th Base Post Ofice, APO 82, New York, N. Y., was allowed to come home on a morale leave because of the unusual farm circumstances. S3C Kintz has completed almost years service, and will be discharged next January. He had been overseas more than 20 months. Mrs- Kintz was now left with a 90 acre farm, four young hgifers, 500 chickens, all to be taken care of. At hame with her was one daughter, Pat, who is 15 years old. She was without a man on the place, and neither she nor Ties - young - daughter could drive. - Neighbors, 4 of course, ’ were

very generous,, and offered all help possible. But this year was exceptionally wet in the spring and early summer, and farmers had all they could do to get their own crops in. Knowing that his mother could not take care of herself at home without a man around to help farm, carry heavy feed sacks, drive, and generally keep up repairs, John, Jr., applied for a discharge. His leave ran out, and he was finally informed thrttugh Congressman E. Ross Adair that he was being transferred to Fort Sheridan, Hl., temporarily, pending a decision on his discharge. This was in early May. He reported for duty with the 5043rd Transfer Station, Fort Sheridan, 111., and waited. His commanding officer understood his situation, but explained that it *was a matter of waiting. He granted Kintz a weekend pass each weekend to help out at home. He could not grant him any more leave without permission of the department of the Army, which would take as long to get as the discharge itself. Every 20 days the department iS informed that Kinta is still waiting, and replied that the ‘‘decision is pendipg.” - * . Meanwhile, Mrs. Kintz and her 15-year-old daughter have been living on the farm, trying to keep it going. Family and friends have certainly helped as much as possible, but they are not able in full to replace a man in the family. This weekend it was still pretty wet, but Kinta, working until long after dark with his brother-in-law, Harold Whitright, were able to work up one field of beans. Twelve acres would have been put in corn, but with no one here to plant it, Kinta decided to put it in the soil bank rather than r.sk waiting to get home. About 60 acres are now tilled, and he ; s trying to put In soy beans. His three brothers-in-law who

live within a radius of five miles are helping, although they are not farmers by trade, and are working full-time in town. These, however, have their own problems besides regular working hours, which include 6,4, and 2 children respectively, aged relatives who are sick, and many other problems. In other words« John, Jr., is the pftly relative up® on whom Mrs. Kintz, his mother, can really depend, and he is Etill in service. Also, as soon as he is able, young John will be able to farm the additional 110 acres which his father had always farmed. He has barely been able to keep up, with family and neighbor’s help, on his own with his present parttime situation. Mrs. Kinta has eight daughters and one living son. One daughter, Delores, is .in nurses training at the Good Samaritan hospital in Cincinnati, 0., and this is an additional expense and worry for Mrs. Kintz. The others, besides 15-year-old Pat, are married or live away from Decatur. The entire Kintz family is hopinf that army red tape will soon be broken, and allow young John to be with his mother and sister, and farm their own farm.

At the Adams county memorial hospital: Robert L. and Iva Jane Kiess Lane, Decatur, became the parents of a daughter at 2:15 p. m. Friday. To Frederick and Rosemary Fisher Schumna, Willshire! 0., a six-pound one-and-one-half ounce son was born at 4:08 p. m. Friday. Ira A. Harker, of Glendale, Calif., arrived here today for a week’s visit with friends and relatives. Harker, a former resident of Decatur, drove an A.B.C. bus for many years. " ‘
