Remember the state plowing contest scheduled for St. Marys township all day tomorrow. Let’s give the contestants a typical rousing Adams couty welcome. O O Only you, Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayers can get any relief from constantly rising tax rates and your first effort should be to attend and take part in every rate hearing. Offer your objections, for after all its your money they’re spending. O O The government, at times is accused of slowly moving over toward socialism. What causes to take over a private industry or these actions of the government utility? We believe it is caused by failure of the industry or utility to provide the people with what their needs are. R.E.M.C. came about because there was not a private utility in the nation which would gamble on their own product being wanted. Now almost every farm house in the United States has electric power and now the private utilities want to take over these government encouraged organizations. The same holds true of almost every instance where the government stepped in. Before we criticize the federal government, let’s consider all the facts. —iO O Another Decatur Ministerial vacancy has been filled with the selection of Rev. Harold John Bond of Bay City, Mich., as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church effective in the next few weeks. Rev. Bond comes to Decatur very well recommended and prior to his present Michigan post ★here he is asistant pastor, he served as Minister of Hartford City Presbyterian Church. The selection by the local congrega'tlbn came after a committee listened to several sermons by the new Pastor and following a trial Sermon delivered here Sunday. The including Rev. and Mrs. Bond and three children, a and two sons, will move £ to Decatur soon and will occupy ' the Church Manse on Mercer I Avenue. We welcome the Bond g '■ f ■ • T —- family to Decatur and from what we already heard concerning (hem we are confident they will ; fit well into the system of Christian worship in our city.

A public hearing Is set for tonight on the proposed city budget. A similar hearing will be conducted by the school board August 29 for the proposed school budget. Each of these two budgets shows an increase over a year ago of 18 cents on the total amounts to be collected. Officials of the two taxing units feel that these increases are necessary for proper administration of affairs. They will welcome public participation in the final action prior to sending the proposals on to finality. It’s a big task and it's your money they're spending. You should show an interest in their doings. —O 0 Moving of major league baseball franchises seems to be in the air. Indianapolis has come along with an offer to acquire the Washington Senators. Indianapolis never has been a top professional sports town. Currently the Indianapolis Indians are bankrupt. That city has tried football and basketball and failed miserably. The old Indianapolis team in the defunct Federal League was also a financial failure. Fights never have attracted crowds at the Capitol city and about the only big-time 'Sports event success over the years has been the 500-mile race. All indications point to the fact that the Senators should took elsewhere for a new home. —iO-—O>— Under the leadership of M. J. Prior, chairman of the Decatur Community Fund drive, scheduled for the second week in October, plans for the biggest drive in the history of the organization are being made. There is no doubt but that the drive will be a success, if tjhe enthusiasm demonstrated at the preliminary meetings carries over. Mr. Prior has great enthusiasm himself and he no doubt will put the sufficient drive into the quesfyfor funds. It would be a simple matter if individuals and organizations would refuse all other requests for donations. In a few years every organization would become a part of the Community Fund, and that is the way it should be. Money is allocated by the Fund for every worthy cause and if all donations were made to the single unit there would be plenty of money for every participating group.
