Seventeen members and j three guests were served by the I hostesses, Mrs. John, Mrs. John; Kiess, Mrs. Chester Kleinknight, Mr. Robert Nyffeler and Mrs. Don-Burke. Following group singing and devotions, read by Mrs. Louis Jacobs, the Rev. Edgar Schmidt, pastor of the church, presented the lesson topic, taken from the Lutheran Women's quarterly, en-1 titled “Stars for the King.” and led in a group discussion. He told ; the women that “just as a single star in the sky may be uniticed as compared with th? Milkly Way, so it is with each individual members of the society, but that as a combined group, the society may become a more noticeable Christian star in the community.” Rev. Schmidt then reminded the women of the forthcoming “preaching-teaching-reaching” evangelism mission the church is planning, in conjunction with nearly 30 other Lutheran congregations in the Fort Wayne area. This evangelism mission, called the P.T.R.,~ will be conducted from February 9 to February 13, with the Rev. Walter H. Moeller as speaker. Mrs. Jacobs, outgoing .president of the society, called upon various committee chairmen for 1957 to give their year-end reports.

Reports Personal Savings Increase Banking Executive c Scores Arguments BLOOMINGTON (IP) — A.‘banking executive today discounted, arguments that installment buying, social security, various types of insurance, programs aiW other security provisions hf ve dal led the “drive to put something away. .. . r Grover W. Ensley, executive vice president of the National Association of. Mutual Savings Banks, said many of those security plans provide “only minimal protection” and do not replace the need for saving. Writing in the winter issue of Business Horizons, Indiana University’s new business managenjent quarterly, Ensley said many experts have said thai Americans “4o not really believe in saving,” and that saving is considered “unAinerican.” But figures dp not bear out this contention, Ensley said. “The most reassuring factor is that net personal savings in 1956 totaled 20 million dollars — the highest since the war years,” Ensley said. “In fact, a recent survey indicates that savings in the United States over the past 60 ygars have remained a remarkably' constant percentage of income.” Ensley admitted that some of the thrift believers do not bach up ttjyfcir belief with action, but he said "the desire to save .is very much there.” Says Budget Bureau Withholding Funds Bureau Accused By Admiral Rickover WASHINGTON (UP> — Rear Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, the Navy’s atom submarine chief, has accused President Eisenhower’s Budget Bureau of withholding fields appropriated by Congress. His statement caused Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) to assert that the Budget Bureau was acting as a I "niper appropriations committee L . a kind of czar or dictator.’’ Ricover, in testimony released i today, also said the Navy now is ; designing nuclear power plants for submarines “which should, last the sh|ps for almost an entire war wßhout refueling." It also is “developing a machine to make oxygen from sea water which will permit them to stay submerged almost indefinitely,” he said. These inovations, he said, will ! make it possible for subs to hide opt under icecaps where they could not be detected, and blast the enemy with long-range missiles. He said he was “absolutely certain” it will be possible eventually to launch an intermediate range ballistic missile from a submarine. Rickover, ’assistant chief for atomic propulsion of the Navy bureau qf ships said the Budget Bureau thus far has not handed out monev for "one or two of my items" although Congr.ess.provided the funds for the fiscal year that began last July 1. He gave no explanation of why the money has been withheld but said, "we ought to cancel the project or get the money." “I think this business of the item veto ( ’ a veto of invidual itees in a larger appropriation bill) which Congress has never been willing to grant to the President is now being exercised by the Bureau of the Budget,” he said.

Stale Building In Danger Os Collapse Warning Os Danger At Annex Building INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The Indiana State Budget Committee was told today that floors in a iix-story state office building are in danger of collapsing, Indiana State Purchasing Director Clarence Drayer, complaining he was “constantly harassed’’ in efforts to find new office space for state agencies, made the statement in outlining space needs* involving offices in the Statehouse ahd in several other buildings Drayer said many of the wooden beams in the Statehouse Annex building on South Meridian street are cracked and the floors noticeably "give’’ under weight, rhe building houses the Gross Income Tax- Division and half a dozen other state offices. But Drayer told the committee the main space problem was getting the Insurance Department out >f the Statehouse to allow the State Treasurer s office to expand. He said the employes who took care of 6,000 gross income tax refunds in the treasurer'soffice could not, be expected to handle the 200,000 refund checks expected this year in the same space.—— The committee planned to consider several requests, including $1,668,660 in housing earnings at Indiana State Teachers College for construction of a women’s residence hall. The college also sought to use its own revenue for a $651,900 addition to the Student Union Building and a $54,605 land purchase. Other requests included: Fort Wayne State School»-$462,-000- nursery building construction. New Castle State Hospital—s3o,707, remodel and equip diagnostic building.

More than 95 percent of all™ business in the United States is '5 made through credit, and the {j buyer and seller are brought to-« ’ether by means of credit infer-£ mation. During January the 406 Adams 3 county businesses listed in Dun 2 and Bradstreet will receive re- 5 quests for annual financial state- 2 ments. More than three million« will be sent over the entire coun- . try. £ When the owner returns his£ statement, he takes his first step*; toward establishing responsibility £ for credit.
