Cole and postmaster, Deo Kirsch announced today. This celebration will honor the 75th ißiamand' anniversary of the signing of the civil service act. Jan. 16, 1883. Kirsch pointed out that in one way or another the work of federal employes touches every American every deliver the mail, forecast the weather, conduct scientific research, support the fighting forces, print and mint money, control narcotics, regulate 1 immigration, collect taxes, help conserve land, bring electricity into rural homes, enforce federal laws, and administer social security. ’ Hundreds of cities throughout the country, including Decatur, are cooperating in the celebration. Newspaper articles, radio and TV programs, window displays and other methods will be used. The purpose is to tell every perSbn what the merit system means to him. —The system established by the civil service act i.y a- gmu iintec that a person 'mmy ■'q&fif.f TwWS I job on the basis of ability th do the work, within© discrihiination i , because of race, politics, religion,-i--lor national origin.

Congress May Pass New Farm Measure Sees Possibility < Os New Legislation WASHINGTON tUP >—Chairman Harold D Cooley of the House Agriculture Committee said today “there now seems to be better than a 50-50 chance" for enactment of new farm price support legislation this year. The North Carolina Democrat several weeks ago predicted there would be no major farm legislation in this session because the once-potent farm bloc was hopeIssly. split along ijarty lines. "The situation looks more hopeful now,” Cooley told a reporter. "We should know by the end of next week whether committee members are going to be willing to compose their differences and work out a new farm bill." Cooly said Agriculture Secretary Ezta Taft Benson’s announcement that support prices for dairyproducts will be reduced April 1 may provide the cement needed i to glue together ’a new bipartisan j faim wiUUtml key Hepubffcan senai tors’ have joined some Democrats !in urging Congress to stop the; rcut. I Cooley said lawmakers fty>m; I dairy states blocked cotton legislation,last year,.sHe said they may i be willing to go along this year when they realize they must get what they want. He said Congress won’t enact! legislation to bail out" the dairy J ; farmers without helping other commodity groups, too. | - i A self-propelled machine re- ! sembiing sr power lawn mower ! soaks up excess moisture from golf I greens or tennis courts

Fire,, thought to have started in the flue, broke out about 9 a. m. Thursday, as the family was at breakfast and the Bixlers, their daughter Leota, and a grandson joe. escaped only with the clothes they were wearing. A strong wind from the north caught th- flames, burmng the home a tree southeast of the house, and the garage. The home of Herman Kelsey on the north suffered about SSOO damage, as the siding on the south side was burned off. Several small fires ro * t ® °A}l 0! 1 the roof, and were put out by Kelsey. Quick action by the Berqe and Monroe rural fire departments, and the help of neighbors, saved the Kelsey home. The Bixlers are now staying with their son. Gerald Bixler, in Decatur.—'Staff Photo)
