(UP) — The "Help Your Neighbor” campaign of the Sturgis Daily Journal to combat the recession gathered momentum today. The program, set up by Harold S._ Pringle, general manager of the paper, and city officials is aimed at giving the economy a shot in the arm by starting a grass roots buying wave. Residents have been urged to help business “by buying now something that your neighbor helps to make in a local factory. If he is unemployed, it will restore his job- If he is working it will save his job.” To get the campaign rolling the Daily Journal has been furnishing without cost a full page in the paper to every manufacturer in the Sturgis area who employs 10 persons or more. The advertisement is used “in creating an immediate local demind for the company's product." In addition, the paper has been running a page one story in the same issue in which the advertisement appears, giving a profile of the company and urging residents to buy its products. The paper said it hopes to start “a chain reaction in buying that will extend over the nation and create an immediate demand for products of all kinds. “If enough citizens in Sturgis and Vicinity will buy some needed product or products manufactured locally it will serve to put our neighbor back to work and enable him to purchase not only articles made locally but in other communities—a car, for instance, or a new television set. (. “The Journal is convinced this so-called recession . . . can be overcome only by private enterprise and a restoration of public confidence.” The paper also called for a flat 10 per cent budget cut at the state and federal level, as well as an income tax reduction. Th campaign, launched in cooperation with the Industrial Development Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, has been brought to the attention pf President Eisenhower, Michigan Sens. Charles E Potter (R) and- Patrick 1 V. McNamara (D), as well as state legislators. All the daily newspapers in Michigan are briefed on the plan and the Michigan League of Home Dailies will discuss it Thursday and Friday at a meeting in Grand Rapids. The Detroit News, which sent a reporter and photographer to Sturgis last week to gather information, also planned to run a story on thes project. Jacob J. Kauffman, of Berne, was fined a total of S2O for public ’ intoxication in Hartford city mayor’s court Tuesday.

Fresh Snows Hit In West And Northeast White Prevails On St. Patrick's Day By UNITED PRESS White rather than green was the prevailing color across much of the nation this St. Patrick’s Day with fresh snows in the West and the Northeast digging out of a weekend near blizzard. One to two inches of new snow fell on Kansas during the night, and flurries extended eastward across southern Missouri and into the Ohio Valley. Snow and snow flurries also continued over much of the Rockies and across the lower Great Lakes and into New England and the Appalachian Mountains as far south as West Virginia. ■ : : New England, meanwhile, was slowly recovering from a late winter storm that hit some sections with up to two feet of snow. High winds piled the snow into towering drifts. The New England storm was blamed for the deaths of at least eight persons. The storm also knocked out power and telephone lines and choked transportation. There also was little sunshine today to warm the hearts of Irish telebrants. The only major area of fair skies was along the Atlan tic coastal plains. Elsewhere, the succession of storm centers sweeping out of the Southwest brought showers from the southern Rockies to Texas, a hazardous coating of freezing rain in western and central Oklahoma and snow to the norther. In the far West, showers prevailed through the night from southern California to the Rockies, changing to snow in central Ne- , vada where Austin, Nev., reported a two-inch snow blanket. Increasing shower activity occurred in the Pacific Northwest. Although spring officially is less than a week away, frigid air continued to pour across the Canadian border, dropping readings to 5 above zero at Casper, Wyo., and near zero in north central Montana A warming trend overspread the Southeast, but there was little change in temperature elsewhere.

Dairy Worker Kills Three And Himself Mentally Retarded Lad Kills Employers BUTLER, Pa. (UP)—A mentally retarded dairy worker, ordered off the farm that had been his home since he was eight, shot and killed another farm hand and the couple that employed them, and then turned a .rifle on himself. * State Police Capt. Eugene L Fontaine said there were no witnesses to the slayings Sunday, but "all the evidence" indicated Donald McCamey, 21, stalked his victims with a shotgun before taking his own life with a .22 caliber rifle. McCamey’s victims were Dale Graff, 38, and his wife, Margie, 35, operators of a dairy farm about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, and George Reed, a 77-year-old farm worker. McCamey, Fontaine said, had been living with the childless Graffs for 13 years as a Juvenile Court ward. He was a “young man of questionable mental capacity and somewhat retarded," the captain said. “The men didn’t have a chance," Fontaine said. “From their wounds they apparently were killed by surprise.” The police officer said McCamey found Reed first. The two men had fought last week and Graff had told McCamey to leave the farm. Reed's body was found in a corncrib. Graff's body was in the barn. Mrs Graff, Fontaine speculated, probably heard the shooting and rushed outside to see what had happened. When she saw McCamey, she ran back into the house and locked the door. The killer broke a window and followed her. He fired twice but missed, Fontaifie said. She was trapped in a bedroom. —— Mrs. Graff died on a bed of shotgun wounds. The captain said McCamey then returned to the barn where Graff lay and fired the single .22 caliber rifle shell, that ended his own life.
