The death of Dr G F Eichorn will leave a void for his family and his many friends. Dr. Eichorn has long been ah able practitioner as well as an active member of our community. We join with others in extending sincere condolences to the many close friends and to his family. —o—O Our neighbor to the north is one erf the leading resort areas in Spite of the imbalance of currency exchange. If toe present trend continues, Americans will spend 8316 millions in Canada thia travel season in a total of more than 82 billions overall. We could do better to “shop” for vacations at home, at least, dollar-wise. ’ A report of our first polio case fe cause enough for parents to watch children carefully. Proper rest, cleanliness, and diet should receive close supervision. Medical authorities suggest periodic checkups and immediate referral to family physicians in event oi illness. An established routine is important for every boy and girl. —-o—o There Is a series of farm accidents occurring at the moment p? “ pud some thought should be given to their control. We are aware of the fact that accidents "do happen” but the current increase should be halted. Equipment should be carefully checked and — operators well informed on measures to be taken in event of emer- ' gencies. It is hoped that the most consideration possible will be giv- . ,en to care and safety at all times. For a man who has been so outspoken against federal aid, our governor has reversed his earlier stand ?in uncertain fashion. Remember back when he was so positive that no good end Could be reached with help from Uncle Sam? However it must be callod that no election is at intake at present, so the aboutMfccd seems to be in keeping with a.'wary eye toward the future. Politics does wed strange policies and people.

acre to hedge against rising costs. Other predictions of vast increases in population, production, and all that goes with it is indicative of a steady rise in all prices. The sad feature of it is that few of us heed the warning signs. The Gross National Product will reach one trillion dollars (now about 450 billions) in the future so It js inevitable that some inflation will be mixed into these figures. This makes a complicated picture for us, yet we must be on the alert. —o— —o—— America-on-the-move will be interested to know that detailed figures have been released on the costs of operating an automobile. Chicago Motor dub set up the following for lighter models: fixed costs, $1.74 per day ($835 a year) and 3.69 cents per mile for gas, oil, tires, and maintenance. More than SI,OOO annually would take care of the motorist who approximates ten thousand miles a year. If it were not for inhurand depreciation, more twocar families would be in the making which is further indication of the present trend for America-on-the-move. -1. -■ - —O——O—— The relationship between atomic tests"iand turbulence in weather is providing some lively discussions at the moment and we have no desire to become involved, however, some basic precepts to be followed in the event of a storm could be of value. Keep tuned to radio or television stations for the latest weather information. Put loose and movable objects where they cannot be blown against the house or through windows. Keep trees pruned away from your home. Dead branches and overhanging limbs can cause much damage in high winds. Take refuge in a basement, near an inside wall away from all windows, nearest the approaching tornado, particularly in frame houses. If there is no basement, seek shelter elsewhere, even an open ditch offers some protection. Avoid auditoriums and other buildings having large roof areas which oftimes are lightly anchored. One or more windows on the lee side can be left open to provide ventilation and to avert some of the wind damage. These are a few of the elementary rules to keep in mind during this period of storm threats. ; -

Leo Yager Celebrating 192nd Birthday Today i - ■* .-? ■ I |k Leo Yager, chairman of the ters in Dayton. O.

board of directors of the Citizens Telephone company, celebrated his 92nd birthday today quietly at his »home at 246 South Second street Yager, extremely alert for his years, suffered a broken blood vessel in his knee recently, and temporarily uses a walker to get around. The well-known Decatur businessman was born in Tiffin, 0., the third qldest child of Christina Wall and Leopold Yager, July 16, 1865, the year the Civil War ended and Lincoln was assassinated. The two older children, John and Anna, were also born at Tiffin, but the family moved to Decatur . in the fall of 1865, and Yager’s father started a furniture store, where the Gamble store is now located, on South Second street. The father, Leopold Yager, was born in Baden, Germany, and came to this country when he was a young man. He sailed from Le Havre, France, on a wooden sailboat that took six weeks to reach the United States. All went well in Decatur for the Yagers, and two more children, Herman and Leopold, were born. In 1872 the mother died. None of the children ever married. ’ In 1877 the Second street fire roared down from Madison street, wiping out the Thompson grocery, Bailey’s carriage painting shop, a saloon, Schafer Brothers, and the Yager store. The Yagers rebuilt on the same lot. Yager attended the public school here, and remembers that his teacher was Miss Loretta Ballard, of Richmond He attended high school for one year, and then went to work in his father’s store. He quit at the store and was deputy postmaster under Norval Blackburn, during Cleveland’s first administration, 1885 until 1889. He resigned that year when a Republican, Bart Quinn, took over as postmaster under President Benjamin Harrison. Following his assistant postmastership, Yager .ran the Willshire, 0., branch of his father’s store for three years. Then he sold out and returned to Deeatur, where he and his brother Leopold, started a drug store where Sutton's jewelry store now stands. *. They continued in the drug store for three years, and were quite successful. There were three drug stores in Decatur then, and no room for a new one, so when John Holthouse returned to Decatur fol-,, lowing his wife’s death in Florida, he became a partner with Ben Smith. The drug store continued as Smith, Yager, and Falk, or Smith and Yager, for many years, in the building where the Why store is now. In 1929, when Smith died, Yager sold his interest in the drug store. IL . For 14 years Yager was on the road for a drug specialty company, traveling through Ohio and Michigan, sometimes with his headquar-

; While in business in tJecatur, Ya- > ger, invested wisely, japd in 1917 he i was elected to the board of directors of the Citizens Telephone com- > pany. In 1920 he was elected pres- - ident of the Telephone company, - and served in this office until 1950 . After resigning in 1950, he was - elected chairman of the board of > directors. He remains in good 1 health for a man of his years. Urges Overhaul Os ; Security Program Haphazard Loyalty Program Assiled > - ; WASHINGTON (UP)-The head . of a special study commission . urged Congress today to overhaul the government’s “haphazard” loyalty - security program before , adjourning this year. Chairman Loyd Wright of the Commission on Government Secuj rity said the entire program, particularly for government employes. , “warrants early attention” of Con- ' gress. ” ~T f Wright, a Los Angeles lawyer [ and former president of the Amer- , ican Bar Assn., was the opening : witness at House Civil Service Committee hearings on his com- [ mission's proposal to revamp government loyalty and security pro- > cedures. The committee is not consider- . ing the security commission’s cpnJ troversial proposal to fine or jail ' or others who publish , secret government information. Wright made no direct mention ' of that in his prepared statement. ' He did say that “unfortunately” the commission’s proposals on criminal laws “are not yet under- ' stood by some segments of the public arid the press ” The 12-man commission, which I spent a year and a half studying [ the nation’s security programs,' , made its proposals in a report reJ leased June 23. Despite his plea for prompt con- , gressional action, the committee ; is not expected to even finish hear- : ings on the broad-scale proposal ' before adjournment. I Wright told the committee the current security program for government employes has been “hanging in doubt” since a Supreme Court decision last year that it does not apply to workers in “nonsensitive” jobs. The key to the new plan calls for ’ separate procedures for em- ; ployes accused of disloyalty and others who might be security , risks. • The commission recommended ' setting up a separate central security office to hear charges of disloyalty against government employes. Each agency now conducts its own loyalty-security hearings. The commission also recommended that security risk cases involving no charge of disloyalty be handled through regular civil service pro cedures governing '‘suitability” for employment. '
