There seems to be a lack of interest in most of the approaching primary elections in northern Indiana. Maybe the cold weather this winter slowed down the activity and perhaps it will blossom out all of a sudden. o o A petition bearing the names of 118 signers has been filed asking for a referendum on the proposal to place the Geneva school under a school board, instead of the present system of having the affairs under supervision of a trustee. O' o ■■ While we’ve had rain for the last two days, the weather hasn’t been too bad and compared with other parts of the nation, we’ve been very fortunate. Maybe after the weather clears a little, we’ll have some excellent spring weather and then we’ll all feel better. -—o—o— Remember the kick-off dinner for the membership drive of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce next Tuesday night at the Youth and Community Center. Si Heemstra; Fort Wayne, former Decatur resident will give the “pep talk." The public and especially the merchants and industrialists are invited.

There is a lot of current talk about placing automation into the post office department. My if they did, who would read all the post-cards. _—o—o People in Indiana don’t talk much right now about anything but high school basketball. There will be more heart-aches and more thrills until the champion is named. Followers of Decatur high school got a set-back when the Berne-French township combination knocked the. Yellow Jackets out, but we still have several good teams in the running to represent Adams county in the regional. We still say let the best team win! •• o o—The huge crowds attending the Adams county sectional tourney at Adams Central has been noisy but orderly. Only a few altercations have marred the entire event. There has been considerable comment heard on the return of the tourney to Decatur and sacrifice a few seats for the benefits of being where there are restaurants and other facilities. A committee is being formed now to attend the state office and place the proposition before the Commissioner on the premise that there are many benefits to the Decatur site which would more than offset the 20 or 30 fewer seats.
