This is the time of the year that dogs do a lot of damage to lawns and gardens. If we are going to do anything about the stray dog law, this should bp the time. They’ll be happier with homes certainly a lot of home-owners will be happier. o o The Navy Vanguard I is up and flying and again the United States is starting to climb back to leadership, lost merely because of carelessness and smuggishness. There is a lot of talk again about man going to the moon, and maybe that isn't too far oft. Just why we want to be the first country to reach the moon, we don’t know. Seems that we have a good bit to do right now here at home. ' o-—o— We can’t help but put a lot of the blamd for the wave of child delinquency right at home. Schools and school officials do a good job and without much help from lots of the parents. Many fathers and mothers don’t want to know the bad traits of their children and deny many of the charges proved by school officials. Then it’s too late and another child has to be sent to a school of correction. — O—O— A series of Indiana auto tragedies over last week-end made the 48-hour period the worst of the year. Thirteen were killed and many more were hurt in auto accidents. If we let down the least little bit in traffic enkillings start and in some counties where killers can get by with a minor charge, they are more apt to become worse. That reminds us that nothing has been done concerning two fatal mishaps here and since the grand jury has met and adjourned without action it is likely nothing will be done except the one charge of driving _ left of center. That’s a joke. - Even the people from West Virginia who were in the car when a child was killed were not asked to return here for a hearing. What kind of enforcement is that?

One Robbery Gang Man Arrested Here Fort Wayne Robbery Gang Is Broken Up The Decatur city police, working in conjunction with Fort Wayne detectives, apprehended Melvin Lovellette, 22, Tuesday afternoon and returned him to Fort Wayne, where he is being held on suspicion of taking part in over 38 burglaries in Fort Wayne, Allen county and Churubusco. The Decatur police had Lovellette under surveillance for a number of days but no apprehension was made earlier because no warrant for his arrest had been sent from the Fort Wayne bureau. Officer Chilcote had tailed Lovellette all day Tuesday and when two detectives from Fort Wayne arrived in Decatur with the warrant, the arrest was made. Lovellette has been booked under SI,OOO bond on a charge of suspicion of burglary and is being questioned as to his part in a gang of eight other suspects who have admitted their parts in the largest burglary gang to operate in Fort Wayne in recent years The eight others include Rex Weeks, 19, Fort Wayne; Max Buchtel, 19, Churubusco; Donald Gilbert, 18, Fort Wayne; Gerald Howard, 19, Fort Wayne; Dave Teders, 21, Fort Wayne; Jerry Dick. 17, Fort Wayne; Ora Harden, 20, Fort Wayne, and William Waterson, 29, Fort Wayne. The net began closing on the snob when Gilbert and Buchtel were nabbed early Friday morning while breaking into the Broad Park Texaco station in Fort Wayne. The remaining members were rounded up Monday and Tuesday. . Detectives estimated that the amount of loot the thugs acquired is between $5,000 and $6,000. • ■ ■ ■ —— ?0 Years Ago Todav (i- —e March 19, 1938— Sixteen Adams ' county delegates will represent Adams county at meeting of Young '■ Democrats at Terre Haute. George Myers, G. E. employe, is Democratic candidate for city council. s Losier Eckrote, Linn Grove, announces his candidacy for county treasurer on Democratic ticket. T. A. Gottschalk will speak at Adams county federation of clubs meeting |iere April 26. Temperature here at 10 o’clock this morning was 62 degrees. Methodists plan every member canvass next Sunday. Decatur high school girls will attend a Democrat’s free cooking school April 6. Max Schmeling and Joe Louis will fight June 22. G.E ' (Continued from page one) the company felt were reasonably right. However, they were further told that if they still did not accept these piece prices, they could continue to work on their regular day work rates,. $2.05 per hour for stacking and $2.11 per hour for casting, and we would continue to study the rates. It would like to point out that this grievance has not followed all the steps of the grievance procedure and therefore the present stoppage is illegal and in violation of the contract between the company and the union, and the grievance will not be further discussed as long as this violation exists.” Union Statement Local 924 United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE), representing employes of the Decatur plant, issued a statement on the union position. The statement follows, in part: ‘‘There are over six million workers unemployed in our country, with the prospects of the figure going higher. This situation was created by the policies of companies, such as General Electric, resulting in increased production with no increase in the earning power of workers. This policy leads to overproduction and loss in purchasing power of the consumers. "This speed-up policy is the heart of the problem here. Two years ago, when production was at the same level as today, there were 12 workers in this group, today there are 10. This means the company is saving over SB,OOO per year. The union proposal in the present dispute would mean an increase of only $3,328 per year, or a saving of over $4,700 for the company while getting full production. ‘‘This situation in the die cast section is not an isolated problem. Today the production level is 8.8 per cent greater with 40 fewer workers than two years ago. "We are ready and, willing to resolve this dispute. We know that if the company approaches this issue in good,faith they will see the correctness of the union position. All the workers are asking is that they be paid for the work done comparable to the earnings of other incentive workers at the plant.” There are 171 different kinds of fish in Ohio waters « i
