David Moore, chairman of the retail division of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, and Mrs. Moore recently attended the opening performance of the Mills Bros.' circus for thf 1958 season at the Ashtabula county fairgrounds in Jefferson, 0., near Cleveland. Following the performance, the Decatur couple attended the press and fans dinner. The initial performance had a sellout, standing room only crowd of more than 5.000 and an estimated 1,500 were turned away. The all-new show, consisting of almost all foreign acts, was well accepted. This same two hour, 15-minute three ring circus is being brought to Decatur by the retail division. It will present matinee and ever ning performances Saturday. June 7. at 2 and 8 p.m. Moore urges all persons planning to attend the circus to purchase tickets in advance from any Chamber of Commerce retail merchant. These tickets will go on sale I in about two weeks. The retail chairman pointed to; the advantage in buying tickets in . advance. All advanced tickets will be cheaper and most of the proceeds from the advance ticket sale , will go to the Chamber of Comf merce, wheiseas all tickets sold. on the day of the circus will be purZ chased direct from the cinjus and will be higher priced. Proceeds from the June 7 circus will be used by the retail divisionto promote activities for the bet-1 terment of the city and improvement of business conditions.

Women Mobilizing To Fight Slum Housing Slum Tours Slated Throughout Nation By LOUIS CASSELS . United Press Staff Correspondent ■ Since the days of Carrie Nation. I public officials have had a healthy respect for the organized wrath i of American womanhorid. L It has become one of the axioms of U.S. politics that the J surest way to get action on a ■ | social reform is to get the women , —and especially the church worn-i en—aroused about it. 'Fair warning is hereby served) ion civic functionaries that this' i potent force is again being mobil- i ,ized in communities across the' . nation . Its target this time is slum • j housing. The mobilizing is being dohe-byl j United Church Women, a depart- * ment of the National Council of Churches, which represents some i 110 million women in 34 major I Protestant denominations, ! . United Church Women has call- j led on all of its local affiliates -r-i Uhe ladies - aid societies and worn* j fens auxiliaries of 200.000 church- ’ congregations—to take on the job ' of “ alerting their communities to ) the urgent need ’ for slum clearj ance. low-cost housing, and neighi borhood rehabilitation projects. On May 2 church women's or--gamzationsrirf scores of cities wid- : sponsor "Come and See Tours" of I the slums. This idea was originated by the church women of j Annapplis. Md., several years agbij Church women have learned that the actual sights and smells ■ <>f the slums are the most elo-’ quent arguments that can be.' made for community improvement 1 programs. If any civic leaderremains un- ' convinced after a first-hand in-' jspection of—the blighted areas off' i his City, the ladies are armed ' with facts and ’figures. These show how the slums serve, as breeding grounds for crime, ju-!: venile delinquency, narcotics ad diction and disease. They document the incredible overcrowding, the lack of privacy and sanitajtion. the generally subhuman liv- ; ing conditions that prevail in the run-down sections of the city. Although church women have ) carried the ball alone in some communities, their usual technique is to enlist the support of other civic groups in setting up' broadly representative citizens commissions to work for decent j housing for all. - T Thus, for example, the church women of" Sioux City, lowa, spearheaded the formation of a council which includes civic, club, politicariand church groups. Arkansas manufactures enough , electric energy for its own needs | and has -a surplus to sell.

Studebaker-Packard Plans Economy Car ‘ I 1959 Production Is Planned By Company SOUTH BEND <UP) — Stude- ' baker-Packard Corp. President Harold E. Churchill announced i Thursday S-P will build a new i 1959 model economy car —but 1 Churchill nor anyone else would 1 Jay how the money for such a i reject could be raised. Studebaker-Packard has lost i about 85 million dollars and sold valuable assets for working capital since its formation in 1955 ; from the two separate pioneer auto companies. Its working capital of cash and marketable securities at the end of 1957 was about 20 million dollars. The “Big Three"—General Motors, Ford and Chrysler—spend more than 50 million dollars per car line when they bring out all- , new models, and sometimes that much on a major face lift. In his announcement at the annual stockholders meeting, Churchill said S-P will build the kind of car Americans want now —"lower cost. yet well-made transportation that retains the elements of full - size passenger space . . . economical operating costs, permanence of design, i •higher-resale -value, and consequent lower depreciation rates." I “I am not going to answer i ' questions about the exact price, - lor details as to the car’s construe-! ' tion and design. I will only say r-. . that this car combines all the) ■features the public has said it wants, at a price it will pay. and produced ahead of competition by Studebaker-Packard craftsmen in 'our South Bend plants.” Newsmen tried to find out if this meant an all-new car or a restyled edition of StudebakerPackard's present economy Scots*" ■man. Churchill said “ho com- ■ ment” A stockholder asked him Fif the new car would allow continuation of the Studebaker and Packard lines. Again Churchill de- j relined comment. i He conceded the possibility of+ )Studebaker - Packard marketing! pthe German DKW small cars, i ; which recently came under con i i trol of Daimler-Benz of Germany, j * S-P has a marketing agreement , with Daimler-Benz. But he said j the DKW was still “rumor at the j moment.” S-P's debts of 55 million dollars! to banks and insurance com- . panies are due in November, 1959. when its present agreement with j Curtiss-Wright Corp, expires. , Ciirtiss-Wright paid 35 million'.! dollars in 1958 fpr S-P's defense; I contracts, tools and 12-year leases ! on plants. It has an option to buy five million share of S-P stock ati S 5 per share before November. > 1958 The stock, up a full point; jn the last two days, is selling at 84.50. If Curtiss-Wright’should buy the stock this would live SP the cap ’ ital needed to bring out the new car and Curtiss-Wright 40 per cent ownership of S-P. Churchill• said "no comment” on all questions about Curtiss-Wright. Churchill contTrmed in his speech that Studebaker-Packard has laid off hundreds of man-j agers, sales and service personnel and stylists in its cost-cutting efforts. Company sources said it l was understood the company is ■ “near the break-even point" even ; with its present low volume and could get a new bank loan if it reaches the break-even point. One stockholder told the meeting S-P has been "sick for a long time and needs a doctor.” The, survival of the weak sister of the auto industry's "Little Two” depends on Dr Harold E. Churchill's ability to pull hidden millions from, a hat. , . j. j- BIHTHS j | At the Adams county memorial ■ hospital: Richard and Jeanne Schug Kelly, route 5. are the parents of a six s pound, six ounce daughter born at 8:33 o'clock, Thursday evening.
