The community has learned with deep regret of the resignation of the Rev. Lawrence T. Norris as pastor of Union Chapel E.U.B. church. For ten years Rev. Norris has been an active citizen of Decatur, a forthright leader in its many Christian activities. He is a past president of the ministerial association, and one of the organizers of the Adams county historical society. While we are happy to learn that Rev. Norris will accept a position of trust and honor elsewhere, it is with deep regret that we bid him farewell ——o o Natives and residents of the Decatur area will mourn the loss of John S. Colchin, 94 year old retired Decatur businessman. For many years the popular old gentleman ran a confectionary shop in Decatur. When he retired in the 1920'5, his shop was located in the west half of the present telephone building. Mr. Colchin was a very religious man, attending mass twice a day. He was extremely popular in his owi neighborhood, being especially known for his generosity in giving away his garden produce. He enjoyed good health until his last illness. He was admitted to the hospital ten days ago, and died at 5:15 p.m. Saturday, saying his rosary. o o*— In 1953 President Eisenhower took office. He and his Republican cohorts belittled and ridi-'culed-tfae- foreign policy nt outgoing President Harry S. Truman.“ At that" time“" hTs hfbffieP,'" Milton Eisenhower, representing the United States, made a trip through South America similar to the one that Vice President Nixon just completed. After 20 years of Democratic foreign policy he was received with enthusiasm and affection. Just five Republican years later our vice president had to flee for his life. Not only the economy of the United States has been threatened by Republican misgovernment — the entire world from Algeria and Tripoli to Indonesia and Venezuela shows the incriminating evidence of the price we must pay for Republican procrastination at home and abroad.

Monroe and Decatur have reached another crossroads of decision. Should they sell their home-owned electric distribution system, and buy all their electric service, or should they buy bulk power, and distribute it themselves? Some persons liken this situation to the famous “Faust” plot, or “The Devil and Daniel Webster,” where, for the moment's gain, the “hero” sells his soul to the devil. Others, who have a profound trust in the pri vate utilities, favor selling their home-owned distribution service, because the immediate results will be lower electric bills for some. Both town and city should carefully consider all aspects of both plans before making a decision. o- o— Why. hasn’t someone suggested a “right to earn” law? This would mean that only those who wanted to pay taxes would have to support the government which protects them, but would require the government to go right on protecting those who would not pay. We are certain that no one would seriously consider such a thing. It would destroy the U. S. government at a time when it is the main bulwark of freedom. Yet persons who are vitally interested in work, since they are workers themselves, have been fooled into supporting a “right to work” law which only means that they do not have to pay dues for the service and protection a “MiffiF i 5 fbrcM"byiaw’ to give them. We cannot receive some- - “■ X' bright "to earn” law would destroy our government—a "right to work” law will destroy our labor movement. Labor unions have kept American wages the highest in the world—with the result that American laborers can buy more and therefore pay for high production and more and more prosperity. Os course there is corruption, mismanagement, perhaps even subversion and Communism in some of our unions. This is found everywhere. But if everyone would earnestly try to better the organizations we have, both labor and management would prosper more than we have dreamed.

, New “Fuel-Saver" Choke that helped clinch title is standard equipment on all Plymouth V-8s I’on nd for pound. Plymouth uses less gasoline than either of the "other two” cars in the low-price “3 ’! This was proved beyond doubt when a 1958 Plymouth V-8 was officially declared winner of the low-price car competition in the 1958 Mobilgas Economy Run. Plymouth’s competitors also entered ears with 6-cylinder engines (supposedly more economical) but Plymouth beat every car in its class—V-8s and 6s alike! This title-winning Plymouth is exactly the sapie Belvedere V-8 with TonpieFlite Automatic Transmission that you can buy right off your Plymouth dealer’s floor.

stance —one of tlie most important factors in Plymouth’s smashing win is the new “Fuel-Saver” Choke that you get at norfxtra cost on all Plymouth V-Bs. This ingenious a triple-stage vacuum piston and a new thermostatic element to reduce the amount of fuel you use in warming up the engine. So it can save you even more on short-distance drives—the kind most people make. Among the many other savings Plymouth gives you is the $144) you save on standard-equipment Torsion-Aire Ride.

Find New Treatment For Cattle Grubs Science has developed a treatment to prevent damage by cattle grubs, one of the most costly livestock parasites, according to Leonard Soliday, local sales representative for the Moorman manufacturing company. He pointed out that annual losses, estimated at well over 100 million dollars, can now be reduced substantially- The product works in an entirely different way than grub-control methods used in the past.
