TTiere is still a forecast of rain for thia week and from the foe! of the air it isn’t far away. We can use some rain if nature doesn't go completely crazy and give us too much. —O o-".'-You can’t ever relax on safe driving. That’s when a mishap occurs. Drive with caution every minute, and you’ll be the winner. ■ O » " O Two Decatur “old timers" J. O. Sellemeyer and Charley Knapp have come back home for a visit These two men are two of Decatur’s best boosters wherever they go and we are always glad to welcome them back home. Mrs. Sellemeyer and daughter and Mrs. Knapp also are visiting here. o——o Soybeans are pouring into the Central Soya warehouse here at a heavy clip. They’re coming by truck and by train and the heavy receiving campaign, no doubt, will continue for several days yet The local plant with its world largest storage facilities is a bee-hive of activity now-days, the clock around. We have seen and heard of some stupid rulings by various federal departments but here's one that beats them all. A federal court in Philadelphia has ruled that if a patron of a bar bursts out with a song after a drink or two that establishment must pay the federal entertainment tax! How cfazy are we going? ——o—-o—— Notre Dame football team has climbed up a long way on the come-back trail and should finish tins a fair record, already having scored three wins. Don’t expect too much now from the Brennan-coached aggregation as they face a suicide schedule. The Irish are on the way, however and in another year or two they should return to the top of the coHege heap. They’ll never be satisfied to be just ordinary. ' o o—— Baseball has died away for the season. Many sports fans believe that Milwaukee, in beating the Yanks_ and bringing the world title back to the middlewest did muchto stimulate interest in baseball., The White Sox or the Cardiijals or the Reds no doubt would | have done the same. Attendance at all midwestetn parks shoulq grow next year and the game evenin the sandlots should impro re as more and more people b< gin to realize that the Yankees i an be beat.

The stock market continues to grumble growl and move downward. It has hit its lowest in two years and no doubt will go lower. ■' ' 0 0 Troubles have started for Teamster’s president-elect and a federal Judge has restrained him from taking office for ten days upholding charges that the recent convention which elected him was rigged up with all Hoffa delegates. This is only the beginning and before the year is over, if he is still a free man, our guess is that James Hoffa will be glad to step down as head of the nation's largest Union. o ~o——— Queen Elizabeth of England, visiting in her Canada, will come to the United States for a visit before returning home. She will receive all the pomp and glory in Washington saved for ruling heads of nations, and no doubt, as other Kings and Queens before her, she will have a secret yearning to live here. Canadians went all out for their Queen and no doubt Canada's neighbor, the United States will give the visitor a royal welcome. ——:o—oH— If you like beautiful scenery, now is the time to plan a major trip to southern Indiana. In the next two weeks thousands of midwesterners will visit the south part of the Hoosier state, taking in Madison and Brown county especially. The hills and trees take on an autumn beauty which is hard to match. The Great Smokeys are prettier, perhaps, because there is much more beauty to admire, but for a much shorter trip you should plan to spend a day or two in Brown county and on down to the Ohio river. ... . 0 . ■< The stock market took its biggest bust in several years. Fear that we are flirting with a depression was given as the probable cause of the multi-million dollar drop in values. Almost all issues joined in the value tumble and if it continues, conditions could get pretty serious. What will the Government do to stop the downward spiral? That is the question being asked by many people. Our economy has been built to such a height that the nation cannot afford to have a bad depression. Thousands of homes and automobiles would go to the auction block. It is not a pretty picture.

(UP> — A teen - ager kidnaped two young school teachers, one of whom had flunked him in English, and forced them to drive to a wooded area Tuesday night where he raped and beat them. The youth, Robert Leroy Ball, 18, was arrested at’his home about 3 a.m. today and readily admitted abducting and criminally assaulting Judith Snyder, 24, nd Rita Murray, 22. teachers at the Dowagiac High School. Sheriff Kenneth McLeod said the women were kidnaped when they left the school after teaching adult education classes. He said Ball told him he hid in Miss Snyder’s car in the school parking lot with rope, wire and a knife. Ball forced Miss Snyder, who had flunked him in English, to drive to a wooded area four miles southwest of Dowagiac and ordered the teachers to disrobe. He bound both of them and then raped them, McLeod said Ball then pulled the naked teachers out of the car, propped them up against the auto and beat them with his fists. The youth shoved the teachers into die trunk of. the car and drove around the area for a short time. Ball found an abandoned barn several miles from the scene of the attack and left the naked and bound Miss Snyder in a horse stall. , He then drove to a partially constructed cement block house, built a crude shelter which he covered with an old auto hood and left the naked Miss Murray in the shelter. Miss Snyder managed to work free from her bonds and ran to a farm house to report the attack.

Carolina Youth Is Named Star Farmer Wins Most Coveted Farm Youth Award KANSAS CITY, Mo. W — T h e nation’s most coveted farm youth award went to Clarence J. Chappell Jr., 21, Belvidere, N. C.. Tuesday night. He was named “Star Farmer of America” by the Future Farmers of America at their 30th convention. The award, carrying with it a SI,OOO check from the FFA, was made during ceremonies at a session at municipal auditorium. Young Chappell shared honors with three other members of the farm youth organization who were named regional star farmers and received checks of SSOO each. They were Charles F. Cole,' 20, New Hartford. N. Y.; Bryan Hafen, 19, Esquite, Nev.; and Billie D. Parsons, 21, Milesville, S. D. Earlier in the day the star farmers had been among the 363 FFA members who received the organization’s top achievement degree — The American Farmer. Only one FFA member in a thousand is eligible to become American Farmer and the Star Farmer is chosen from this group. Chappell, in a little more than seven years has built an investment in farming equal to that accumulated by most farmers in a lifetime. In a special sale at his farm this spring, he sold 32 head of Duroc hogs for an average of $134 a head—a price three times what they would have brought on the butcher market. He owns 60 acres of land on which he recently built a six-room brick house for himself and his wife, Annie Lou, 19.

Collect Transfers DETROIT —(W — If you get on a bus driven by Robert Johnson and he asks if you have a bus transfer from Israel, don’t be surprised. It’s Johnson’s hobby.

American Income Dip In September Industry Activity Also Off Slightly WASHINGTON (W — The Commerce Department says personal income of Americans dipped slightly last month in the first such decline since last December. The Federal Reserve Board reports industrial activity also decreased slightly in September. The two reports Tuesday were certain to be cited by economic experts who are concerned about the recent stock market break and the lack of zest in the fall business "pick-up.” But government economists were unworried. They said the small monthly drops in income and business activities were just temporary interruptions in the expansion of the economy. Despite the September drop, the Commerce Department’s report said personal income in the July-September quarter was running at an annual rate of $346,500,000,000, the highest quarter on record. The report said September income was in line with the quarterly rate, although 300 million dollars below the August rate.
