Many national foundation chapters in Indiana counties have formed teen age groups which have really helped get the program moving. Since the foundation now aids research in polio, virus diseases, arthritis, birth defects and central nervous system disorders, many of which are of special interest to the teen-age group, it has proved a popular project. o—o A two-week layoff in the Fort Wayne area has resulted in a 500 increase in new unemployment insurance claims in Indiana this past week. Regular unemployment claims were 73,769. new claims decreased by 1,659, but those for continuing weeks of unemployment rose by 1,394. Both employe and employer pay into a fund from which the unemployment compensation is paid. Each industry has a record in Indianapolis which shows how much balance it has. A peculiarity of the unemployment law is, if a worker quits one place, and then is later laid off from a second, he draws equally. on the unemployment balances, of both. This is hardly fair to the first employer, nor to the employes of the first employer. The state legislature should change this aspect of the law. o o A bill to provide free nuts for all the squirrels has for many years held the record for foolishness in Congress. Now an amendment has been proposed which is even more foolish, and far more costly to taxpayers. Sen. William E. Jenner, who will retire this year, has attached an amendment to the education bill now pending, and it has passed the senate, exempting Indiana from receiving any funds from the bill. At the same time Hoosiers will be expected to pay their share of the costs in the other 48 states. This is sheer folly. If Sen. Jenner is against the bill, it is certainly his privilege to vote against it. But to exempt his own state from any beneficial results of the law, while at the same time making certain

that they will have to pay for those ,same results in every other state, is only a little short of financial recklessness. What does that mean to Adams county? The law will provide $l4O a year per classroom unit to help improve schools. The county has 158.2 of these units. This means that county residents will have an added cost of $22,148 in the county tax rate next year, and at the same time pay Federal tax to pay for the same program in every other state. School taxing units will be affected as follows: Root township, $1,694 with 12.1 classroom units; Jefferson, $504 for 3.6 units; Wabash, 18.2 units, $2,548; Blue Creek township, 3.5 units, $490; St. Mary’s township, 9.7 units, $1,358; Hartford township, $854 , 6.1 units; Adams Central school, $4,060, 29 units; Berne school, 27 units. $3,780; and the Decatur public schools, 49 units, $6,860. This means a grand total of $22,148, in added taxes for us, besides helping to pay for the same program in every other state! The present Decatur school rate as proposed is $3.08 to raise $348,162.35 with an assessment of taxable property at $11,301,610. If Federal aid amounting to $6,860. the amount in the bill, it would lower the Decatur rate slightly more than 6 cents, to about $3.02. If Sen. Jenner opposes this aid for everyone he should so vote. But to vote in such a manner that Indiana will get jio’aid and everyone else will while Indiana pays them for their aid, is a terrible, mistake. This bill is now before a conference committee. Persons hoping to save money should most certainly advise conference members of their approval or disapproval of the amendment, and advise their own congressmen of how they would vote on the bill if amended, and if not amended. The conference committee members are Sen. Lister Hill, and Representatives Carl Elliot and Ray J. Madden, Senate or House Office Building, Washington 25, DC. Your personal letter, telegram or phone call may save you a large amount in taxes in the future.

J Two Accidents Are Reported In County One-Car Accidents On Sunday Evening Two one-car accidents Sunday evening caused a total of $285 damage to the vehicles involved and to a mail box. At 8:45 Sunday evening, In Root township, approximately seven miles north and west of the city limits, a car driven by Keith L. Brandt, 17, route two, failed to negotiate a curve on county road 36M>, near the St. Mary’s river. Bound north and east, the car's right wheels dropped off the road and onto a narrow, soft berm. The car was pulled off the road, causing $l5O damage to the bumper, grill, and right front fender, according to sheriff Merle Affolder, who investigated both accidents. Neither Brandt nor the passenger, Linda Hirshcy, route three, was injured. When the driver was blinded by the lights of an approaching unidentified vehicle on county i oad 7, at 9:10 p. m. Sunday, about three fourths mile east of the city limits, a car ran into a mailbox at the driveway of the Wallace Comment residence, on route five. Approximately SIOO damage was done to the windshield, headlight, and bumper of 'the car, dmefri and owned by Thomas L. Butler,: 23, 421 South Fifth street. The mail box and post received sls damage. As the unidentified vehicle approached, the right wheels of the vehicle had dropped off the j pavement, knocking the box from > the post, with the box hitting tile upper part of the windshield, and: spraying the inside of the car with glass. There, were no injuries. | - °| 20 Years Ago Today oAug. 18. 1938 — A large 10-room I house, owned by C. R. Price of Geneva, and located three miles | east of that town, was destroyed ! by fire at a loss several thousand dollars. Sanford Frazee, county cow tester, has named members of the Adams county 4-H cattle judging team which will represent the, ty at the Indiana state fair. Boys named are Chester Schwartz-, Franklin Steury, David Moser and Leßoy Schwartz. A basket parish picnic will be held next Monday at Sun Set park, | following a tour of the city by the relatives and friends of the Catholic Sisters who will be in Decatur Sunday to attend the centenary celebration of St. Mary’s Catholic church. John L. Durbin, 78, suffered a fractured right leg in a fall at the Lenhart and Dague saw mill. ' The Decatur Yellow Jackets will open drills Monday for the 1938 football season, under the di- j rection of Hugh J. Andrews, head coach, and Deane Dorwin, assistant coach. o o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE o o| Q. Is it proper, when checks have been received as wedding] gifts, to display them with the oth- ] er gifts? A. Ordinarily it is in very bad ! taste to display gifts of money. However, if there are a number of checks received, you may properly display them with the amounts concealed. This can be done by laying them under a pane of glass, one above the other, so that only the signatures are revealed — using an envelope to cover the amount of the top check. Q. When a woman drops some article on the street and a stranger picks it up for her, what should she say? A. Pleasant “thank you,” accompanied by a smile, is sufficient. Q. Should the used silverware be gathered up before removing the plates from .the dinner table? A. No., the silver should be left on the plates, and all removed from the table together. Over 2.500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

SURVEY (Continued from on*) Another factor, they added, most affecting the excessive voltage drop is that the 2,400 volt, 3 phase system voltage used on nearly all the system is not suitable for distribution of power over more than very short distances. In two cases', where higher voltages are used for part of the circuit, the transformers are installed some distance from the power plant after considerable voltage drop has taken place. These are the Union *wnship and River road feeder lines. The condition of the higher voltage lines, a small part of the system, is good. The 2,400 volt lines are poor to fair, with many original poles rotting at the ground line. The rural distribution system serves almost 1,000 customers. It accounts for 15.6% of the annual sales, and produces 20.8% of the revenue. Needed Changes : The worst conditions, according to the report, exist on the Wash- ' ington township, Mud Pike, and Union township feeder circuits. 1 The immediate need is the improvement of these circuits. Seven things are needed: (1) ' Construct a 1,500 kilowatt, 2,400 volt delta to 13.2 KV eye substation 1 at the power plant. This would serve the Union township line im- * mediately and have enough cap- J acity to serve the Union Chapel Jlne when it is converted to 13.2 1 KV Operation. (2) Construct a 13.2 KV line from ' the proposed substation to the existing 13.2 KV line on the Union township circuit. This would eliminate the voltage drop on the Union township circuit. It would also I. remove this load from the feeder “circuit which also leads to the 1 Union Chapel line, improving serv- ' ice on that line. <3> Remove the existing 750 KVA transformer bank now located near the city limits and delocate it at the power plant. This would make 13.2 KV available for other rural circuits. <4> fonstruct a 13 2 KV line from the 750 C KVA transformer bank to the Washington township and Mud Pike feeder circuits. This is the first step in providing 13.2 KV to these two circuits, and will give proper voltage to the customers. (5) Rebuild the Washington line for 13.2 KV, replacing all transformer. <6t Do the same for the >Mud Pike line. These two steps I will complete the conversion of the ! line to 13.2 KV. The removal of the lines from the city feeder circuits will improve city service, also. (71 Rebuild the 2.400 volt line at the end of the River Road feeder j circuit to operate at 7,200 volts , now, and at 13.2KV in the future, , replacing all transformers. This ; circuit is in poor condition in the j portion where the voltage is step- j ’ ped down from 7,200 to 2,400 volts. ; ( These circuits just mentioned I j Treed - i mmediate attention.- accord-] ing to the report. A planned pro gram should then be initiated to convert the balance of the rural i distribution system to the 13.2 KV operation within three to five years. A more logical layout is possible, shortening lines. Sound engineering advice should be followed to avoid a repetition of the : present condition of the system. Estimate of Costs I Costs were estimated for the ! seven-point program as follows: ! 'New 1,500 KVA substation to the I plant, $25,000; new 13.2 KV line to : | present 13.2 KV Union township . feeder line. $20,000; relocate ex-' isting 750 KVA transformer from ■ Union township to power plant, $5,000; construct 13.2 KV line from ! 750 KVA bank to Washington town-j ship and Mud Pike feeder. $50,000; ' rebuild Washington township feed-i er for 13.2 KV and replace trans- ' former, $61,000; do the same for! the Mud Pike line, $95,000; rebuild 2,400 volt line on River road feeder to operate 7,200 volts and ultimately 13.2 KV, and replace transformers, $34,000. This would cost $290,000. The 5% continuency charge is $14,500, and engineering and inspection would cost $24,500, bringing the cost to ] $329,000. Immediate costs to purchase all energy wholesale would be a new 10.000 KVA substation and connection to the I&M system, including engineering. $325,000; immediate requirements for improving city distributing system, $215,000; premiums no $710,000 outstanding bonded indebtedness if refianced $35,500; estimated contingencies and legal fees. $20,500. The total, then, for both immediI ate rural and city needs is $925,000. Additional capital requirements annually for from three to five years would be $750,000 to SIOQ,OOO. Nuclear Tests Will ” Be Resumed Shortly LONDON <UPI> — The Defense Ministry announced today its nuclear tests at Christmas Island in the Central Pacific "will shortly be resumed.’’

Bernard M. Baruch To Be 88 Tuesday Quiet Observance By Elder Statesman SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (UPD—Bernard M. Baruch intends to have no fuss about his 88th birthday Tuesday. He plans to observe it quietly with the immediate members of his family. The famouselder statesman wants to avoid interviews, if possible, because —as he says—"these are times which try men’s souls” and it is not up to a private citizen to speak out on world affairs. I dropped in to see Baruch at his suite in the Gideon - Putnam Hotel here. He has long been iaiterested in the spa and its healthgiving facilities. He is taking the baths and going to the races occasionally for recreation. In response to a question, he said: "I feel fine. But I have to pace myself. I can't do as much as I once could.” He seemed to be in good shape, physically and mentally. Baruch reads a lot and spends some of his time working on the second book of his memoirs. He keeps in touch with his New York office by telephone. Inevitably, otir-conversation get around to longevity. "Longevity is primarily a matter of heredity,” he declared. After a moment’s patfSe, he went on: “We in America have developed lots of ways to increase the .span of life. But, as Jaras most elderly people are concerned, it is more important'to stop the inflationary processes and keep steady the purchasing power of our' dollar, i for our old age.” He emphasized that he realizes: the importance of social benefits to elteriy people, such as pensions and social security. But he said it is nevertheless more important to find some way "to prevent the constant eroding of the dollar through inflation.” "You've got to beware of those , who promise you more dollars ( with less purchasing power,” he i warned. Asked at what age he thought a man should retire, Baruch replied : that was up to the individual himself. Baruch said he stopped smoking when he was 64. As for drinking, he added: v "I am a very light drinker. In. fact. I seldom drink. But I don't i know that drinking has too much { effect on one's life. You see the hardest drinkers who live on for many years, and others who drink little pass on at a comparatively early age. As I said, I 'think longevity is a matter of heredity.” COURT NEWS Marriage Application Joseph John Brite, 18. route one, and Shirley Nan Hirschy, 18, route six. THREE NATIONS (Conrtnuecl from Page one) cept it themselves. At this point the United States stiffened its position — there must be no more weakening of Eisenhower’s, original plan. The Norwegian resolution startled as a strong one, emboyding most of the six points set forth by Eisenhower. It provided U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold go personally to the Middle East, but this has been so diluted j that Hammarskjold's instructions I are extremely vague. One Proposal Killed One Eisenhower proposal was for measures to end propaganda warfare by radio and for setting up a clearing house for complaints of such activities. This was stricken entirely from the measure. India refused to accept any reference to Eisenhower’s proposal for a stand-by peace force, and Moscow Radio asserted today it would oppose such a force. The Indians also had other objections to the Norwegian draft and were reported pushing their own ideas for a separate resolution. United Arab Republic Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi was insisting upon a definite date for the withdrawal of American troops from Lebanon and British forces from Jordan. Neither the United States nor Britain was ready to set such a date until the U. Nhad taken adequate steps to insure the territorial integrity and political independence of both countries.

Bicycle Reported Stolen Saturday City police received the report of a bicycle theft over the weekend. Owned by Mike Affolder, son of sheriff Merle Affolder, 313 South First street, a red and black Schwinn, with a boy's frame, was reportedly taken at the Adams theater late Saturday. Indianapolis C. C. Favors Eastern Time Members, Employes Vote For Fast Time INDI AN APOUS (UPD — The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce made a move in the Indiana time situation today by promising to. support any action that might be taken to keep the state’s largest city on "fast” time the year around. The chamber announced Saturday night a poll of its members and their employes showed overwhelming favor for Eastern Standard Time on a permanent basis. It said if the Indianapolis City Council paves the way for area residents not to change their clocks and watches from the summer “fast” time schedule the last Sunday in September, it will do so with the chamber’s support. == Such action probably would mean a large area in Central Indiana would stay on "fast” time, since tradition shows a cluster of cities around Indianapolis follow the capital's lead. A 1957 state law aimed at ending confusion over time made Central Standard—or “slow”— time the official time for Indiana seven months of the year and I Central D ayli gh t Saving—or I “fast”—time official for the other i five months. The law was intended to throw drastic penalties at any cities I which violated the provisions, including withdrawal of state aid. However, Fort Wayne and a number of cities and towns in the northeastern quarter of the state j stayed on “fast” time all -last i winter and nobody lost a dime when state funds were distributed. Indiana state officials ruled that as long as official government clocks remained on the time required by law, the state could not exact penalties for “violations” by the general public. Mayor Phillip L. Bayt and city councilman had no comment at I Indianapolis after the chamber I poll was announced. The city obi served “slow” time last winter after chamber board members recommended it.
