There are 3,600 fatal farm accidents every year. Let’s try to keep Adams county's record clean for another year. With farming a big business today, machinery has become the number one killer, with carelessness the main contributing factor. o o The Decatur Merchant's showcase will close this evening at 9:15 p.m. Nearly the entire community building is full of displays attractively laid out. Several are very competitive, and tempers are reported at a hig* pitch over some of the displays. Drop in and visit the displays and see for yourself community competition at its best. ——o o Four candidates for graduation from Monmouth high school are racing neck and neck for the valedictorian honors. This keen intellectual competition is the type which will produce good, useful citizens. The spice of life, competition, applied to education, the foundation for building a full, pleasing, fruitful, Christian happiness in life, is a combination that will build a better Adams county and a better America. o o Democratic nominations are now over, the air has cleared, and the chosen candidates are , now ready for the general election campaign. The Democratic candidates will have .work hard this summer and early fall to bring home victory for the party of the people in November. Big city newspapers, radio stations and TV, closely allied with their big business cousins, and > almost all leading magazines, will blast away at Democratic programs in general. Every thinking voter will have his hands full wading through hundreds and hundreds of “arguments” and “opinions” which will be aimed at the voters in the ensuing campaign. Take one <£ > a time and think it all the way through. Remember," your one vote may well decide whether we all will have prosperity Or poverty, cold war or lasting peace.

In 1956, Adlal Stevenson, the i outstanding political thinker of I this generation regardless of his i votegetting qualities, announced that the United, States should plan a nuclear test ban. How the Republicans scoffed and ridiculed! Apparently the only persons impressed were the Communist leaders, who promptly stole the idea and used it for a great propaganda victory throughout the world. Again, the Republican “leaders" were sleeping at the A vote for W. Robert Fleming in November will start tl?e Democrats back on the road to leadership. This nation needs leadership, not platitudes. o o rThe Allen county coroner has returned an ambiguous finding ih the recent death of Howard Beitler. First he found that the death was accident. Then he found that the accident was caused by the county vehicle driver’s failure to yield the right of way. It is not yet known what action, if any, will be taken by the prosecutor i or grand jury. It is quite probable that since the coroner has found that the cause of death is accidental, no action will be taken on that point. But failure to yield the right of way is still a serious charge for the driver of the county vehicle. The main' question is, was the driver's judgement at fault, or did a sign block his view? This sign was immediately taken down following the tragedy, but the county sheriff had measured the distance from the sign to the county vehicle, and the size of the sign, so that the situation can be reconstructed. This matter should not be left to idle gossip. If the driver was at fault, he should be punished, and if the signowner was at fault, he should be named as responsible. If nothing is done on the question, idle gossip will blame everyone concerned when really negligence on three persons’ part may be involved. This is a good chance for the prose'— 4 ing attorney, who has been under fire recently, to vindicate himself.

See Space Conquest In Next 25 Years Basic Controversy Uncovered By House By JAMES BAAR United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) - The House Space Committee has uncovered a basic controversy that scientists contend could mean ife or death for America. It can be summed up in two overall facts that have emerged from the committee's lengthy hearings: —Scientists and military leaders are gfeneraly convinced that man’s conquest of space is a sure bet within 25 years. —Each group thinks the job can best be done if it has the whip hand. The space trave forecast is a Buck Rogers vision come to life. Nuclear-powered rocket ships would travel to such nearby planets as Mars—49 million miles away. Bases would be established on the moon—possibly on other planets Meteorologists would provide accurate weather forecasts or perhaps even control the weather itself. 'Cj7ast new sources of wealth might be found on the moon, and planets. And—possibly most importantscientists may wrest new knowledge from the far reaches of space that could yield to new benefits yet undreamed. Proposes Two Agencies President Eisenhower has proposed that the U.S. program for conquest of space be directed by two agencies: 1. The Defense Department’s al-ready-established Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). It would run all primarily military space projects, 2. A civilian space agency built around the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics <NACA). The new agency—the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA)—would run all primarily civilian-oriented projects. The House Space Committee has been considering the proposal at hearings for more than two weeks. Tbe Senate Space Committee is beginning its hearings this week. All Pentagon officials— military and civilian—have praised the civilian agency plan in testimony before the House Committee. But they also have stressed that the Defense Department should maintain priority in space exploration. And there is the rub. Argue Over Money Top space scientists have argued that the bulk of the millions

spent on space exploration should be given to the civilian agency. They contend that if the civilian agency becomes merely an adjunct of the Pentagon, limited military goals will dominate the entire national program. They say. in that event, pure research will bo neglected, the nation will lose countless benefits for peace and defense and Russia will wind up dominating the sol lar system. ■ At present, the administration ■ has tentatively proposed to pump t 100 milliondollars into the civil- ! ian space program during its first year. The spending would rise to ’ about 300 million dollars by 1962 I Many top space scientists con- ’ tend much jnore must be given the agency. Their proposals range from 500 million to 1 billion dol1 lars a year. ** Calls Figure Minimum NACA director Hugh L. Dryden, 1 who drew up the proposed civilian > program, said that the administration had tentatively proposed 1 about a minimum figure. ’ Space committee counsel George J. Feldman said “a lot of people > in the government don’t appreci- ’ ate that the United States is in ’ a life-and-death struggle with Rus- * sia for space.” ■ He said testimony before the committee shows the nation needs ; a strong, well-financed civilian ’ agency under a strong high-rank- ' ing administrator. 1 Space scientists generally agree that the civilian agency must vigorously pursue a broad compre- ‘ hensive program—not a series of • sporadic crash projects. f For this reason, > many scien- * tists have shied away from rushing into some of the hundreds of proposed projects until a broad ' long-range program is laid down, r — , f o o . | Modern Etiquette i By ROBERTA LEE 1 . o ——- o Q. If lettuce, parsley or watercress is placed around and item of 1 food to garnish it, may this pro- ' perly be eaten? s A. Yes, if you wish to eat it ; and it is a part of your individual I serving. But you should not mar the appearance of a serving dish by plucking out some of its gar- ; nish. t Q. Is it all right to mail wedding invitations to recently ber- > eaved friends? A. Even though these friends ' might not feel up to attending the • wedding, most certainly they ’ should be sent invitations. Other- ■ wise, they could very well feel ■ shut out. Q. Should one leave the spoon in the sherbet glass when one has finished eating this dessert? A. No; place the spoon in the . saucer.

Warns On Violations Os Reserve Program Warns Farmers On Acreage Reserve Farmers participating in the soil bank’s 1958 acreage reserve program are reininded that schemes i or devices tending to defeat the purpose of the agreement may result in their losing the entire payment which otherwise would .have been earned for "reserving” acre- j age under the plan. Explaining this particular pro- 1 vision of the acreage program,, Victor Bleeke, chairman, Adams agricultural stablilization and conservation committee, gave an example of such a "scheme or device to defeat the purpose of the agreement.” i “Such an instance would be where a producer with an acreage reserve agreement on one farm for a crop such as corn knowingly produced corn on another farm substanially in excess of the normal corn acreage on that farm,” the chairman declared. w For any of the spring-planted commodities covered by 1958 acreage reserve agreements —corn, Bleeke further explained, a producer will be considered to have “knowingly exceeded the normal I acreage by” a substantial amount” if he exceeds by more than 10 percent the larger of the allotment, or the highest acreage devoted ; to the commodity on ihe farm in : 1956 on 1957. The chairman said that where there is any violation of an acre- ( age reserve agreement, the pro- i ducer may lose part or all of the I compensation under the agree- i ment, depending upon the kind and > the extent of the violation.
