A display in the Decatur Chamber of Commerce office this week commemorates the work of Future Farmer chapters throughout the nation, state, and Adams county. During the first year, little was done at Adams Central except holding organizing meetings and electing officers. The chapter today has 48 active members, consisting of 18 greenhands, 28 chapter farmers, and 11 Hoosier state farmers. In the past six years the chapter has entered almost all the contests offered *in district VI. Three times Adams Central has . received first place in the state: in 1953 and 1955 winning the state parliamentary procedure contest, and by winning the state crops judging contest in 1954.

Benefit Dinner For Opportunity School A benefit dinner to raise funds \ for the Vera Cruz opportunity; school will be held in the base-! ment of the Elks club at Bluffton Saturday evening, between 5 and; 8 o'clock. The smorgasbord din-, ner will be held so that persons attending the basketball sectionals at Adams Central and Bluffton may attend. The Elks club donat- ' ed its facilities for the benefit dinner. Mrs. Petzel, chairman of the ways and means committee of the school, has charge of arrangements. Students at the school are from Adams, Wells, Huntington, and adjoining counties. Most funds j for the school are raised by gifts i and fund-raising projects. Says Farmers Need More Legislation Bob Greene Speaks To Farmers Union The Adams county farmers union heard Bob Greene, of near Indianapolis, tell them what a farm organization can “do - for the farmers during the regular; monthly meeting Tuesday night. Greene pointed out what the j AMA had done for doctors, ADA for dentists, and unions for labor. Something must be done im- . mediately to get the same rights fofx a farmer that every other businessman enjoys, he stated. “Automobile companies set the prices for the cars they produce.; gasoline companies set prices on. gas, tractor companies set prices, nearly everyone else sets a price: based on his oWn production costs, except the farmer. His price is l - set "for- him r“ ... ~—j" Greene called for legislation' which would keep grain market; prices “based on the farmer's costs of production, not the price desired by the buyers. The basic pro-: ducer, the farmer, should get the first share from profits on what; he produces,, not the dregs andT leavings when the middlemen have taken ail, they want. Greene I statedThe farm group met in the Ge-; I neva school, and wives and chit- j i dren were entertained during the ! j business session. Refreshments "i followed the meeting.

David Rubinoff In Decatur March 10 Noted Violinist To , Give Concert Here-s / E l When Davia Rubinoff appears jin popular concert in Decatur ' March 10 at the high school auditorium at 8 p. in. he will perform as yiolin solos the full scores of Chopin s Polonaise, the War-< saw Concerto t .r.d Rhapsody in Blue.- * — I—-The American public has grown : to love these numbers arranged for piano and orchestra, but Rubinoff feels they lend themselves i to violin equally as well. t" A graduate of the Royal conFservatory in Warsaw, Poland, I Rubinoff knew as a child the mar- ! tial feeling inspired by the imi mortal Polonaise. Even with ■ freedom today confronted with tyranny and treachery as. Chopin i knew it, the opus is appropriate : as a current theme of the times. The Polonaise was written by > Chopin with a burning spirit of national symphathy and has. been ; likened to "Cannons Buried in Flowers." Rubinoff knew George Gershwin and heard him perform the Rhapsody in Blue for the first time in 1924. Gershwin wrote the great jazz classic in a few weeks, but in transcribing it for the violin. Rubinoff spent months in perfecting the arrangement to his satisfaction. He was more fortunate in pre- ( paring the soul-stirring Warsaw I Concerto as the composer. Richi ard Addinsell, worked with him ; on the transcribed violin version ' Addisell felt after hearing Rubin,off play the-Concerto that it was a new revelation in depth of feelig as only the violin could exI press it. | Tickets for the affair are available frcftri any- Lions club memi ber. Winston Churchill Recovers Rapidly No Further Medical Bulletins Planned ROQUEBRUNE-GAP- MARTIN* France 'UP'—Sir Winston Church ill has made such fine recovery jfrom an attack of pneumonia and j pleurisy that his doctors said today they do not plan to issue any further medical bulletins oh the i state of his health. i Today's communique, said an X ray examination of the 83-year-ok' British statesman's lungs Tuesday showed "no abnormal shadow: and there is no fli|id in the pleura cavity." His condition, it added, is "very satisfactory." ’ “It is not our interntion to issue further bulletins,” the statement concluded: document is signed by Churchill's ph y sic ia ns, Lord Moran and Pr. David M. Roberts Churchill's private secretary. Anthony Montague Browne, asked if the former British prime min ister had gotten out of bed yet replied with a smile: — "Well, you can see from this communique that things are going pretty well'” He was asked ...if Sir Winstor still planned to go to the Unitet States for his schedqjed Visit witl President Eisenhower in ’April'. ."Nothing has been changed, "hi said. The secretary's failure to be more definite was believed due tc the .fact that Sir Winston s doctors have not yet dared to tell then patient that it would be medically unwse for hm to undertake such a long trip. It was considered unlikely, however. by sources close to the Churchill household, that the old warrior would make the jolirney although at the moment he-has every intention of trying to do so. Montague Browne said he could give no date for Sir Winston’s return to London. He was scheduled to leave this week, before he been pie ill. Now he is expected to remain here most of March.

A SOCIETY (Continued froni page One) Decatur high school, built in 1938. ; has 350 high school enrollees, and ■ about 95 Bth graders. It was built on the old-Central school lot. Ann . Stiverson added. The Decatur Youth and Com- « munity Center, planned in i and finally built in 1955. opened in March of that year, Kathryn Rash said.T St. Mary's Catholic church, one of Decatur's 17 churches, seats 750 worshippers in its Wisconsin limestone and Indiana limestone building. The 146 foot tower includes the old bells from the original St. Mary’s church, Kathy Mallonee said. Sal’y Walters then explained howmuch more the children of—the. class appreciate Decatur since they know so much-about it. The three-fold purpose of the Adams county historical society is to appreciate the deeds accomplished here, nurture and develop the ideals and memory °f them, and maintain Ahem for posterity, Mrs. James S Halberstadt.-Sr. told the ' historical society Tuesday night. Indiana was -not one of the orig- " inal states, nor did she have a long tradition of Spanish culture like some of the western, states, she continued. Neither east nor west, ’ north nor south, Indiana and Hoosier were derisive terms in the ’ 185O'§. However, in 1880 Lew Wallace wrote the popular book and ’ drama. "Ben Hur," Indiana’s own Benjamin Harrison was elected president of the United States.. ’ Maurice Thompson wrote "Alice of Old Vincennes" in 1899. and in 1900 Booth Tafkington wrote "Gentleman from Indiana." all of which helped to establish Indiana as a state of some significance. In the 1880's some of the county histories began to appear, but Adams county developed an inferiority complex because of the much-publicized history of Allen county to the north. In the list of county historical, societies for many years, Adams county has beeh inoperative, with a blank beside its name. Yet all of the local citizens have family traditions, folklore, and historical , facts that should be recorded. Mrs. Halberstadt went on to tell '.hat she is not a native of Decatur, btu arrived here during the winter of 1912 with her husband. She arrived on the Cloverleaf railway in Decatur, was taken by horse and carriage to the Pennsylvania, and went to Monroe, where she was met by her husband's parents, who lived nearby. From there she and lyr husband went to their newly-purchased Shoaf farm in St. Mary’s township by horse and wagon, with all their canned goods in jars packed in barrels with oats as a ifller to pre-.i-nt freezing. When they arrived at their new I home they had to set up the stove before they could even warm the place, and they had just a few of their things to unload and put away. A terrible snowstorm and blizzard came up, and they were marooned in their new home from Tuesday until Saturday, when the road supervisor finally got the roads clear enough for travel. The snow was piled higher than the carriage, Mrs. Halberstadt related. Miss Frances Dugan then explained the purpose of the genealogy committee, which will assist anyone interested in looking up. theih family history. Three family histories, the Hougk. Andrews and Luckey families, are now on file in the Decatur library, and Gerald Durkin, of the society has a copy of the Blossom family history.. An explanation of historical methods, including the use of records for genealogical and historical purposes, was made by Dick Heller, Jr. Heller explained that many records were available in county offices, such as naturalization, wills, and marriages in the clerk’s office, and land records in the recorder’s office. Each committee chairman then gave a short report on what his committee has accomplished, and on future plans.
