Bluffton’s city tax rate will be $7.61 and $7.56 in Lancaster and Harrison 1 townships respectively, according to the legal advertisement of rates. This is almost two dollars higher than Decatur's. o o The last solid political victory for the Republicans, controlling the House, Senate and presidency, was in 1928. In the ensuing years they refused to meet the responsibilities of leadership necessary to win the confidence of the people. They lost control of the House in 1936. the presidency and senate in 1932. After 1936 by a coalition with the southerners, they were able to frustrate the Democratic programs, but have never been able to or ev«n tried to offer constructive programs. They are still a party of opposition, winning elections only by name-calling and fancy slogans. But name-calling and slogans will not run a nation, as Eisenhower, Nixon, Adams, and Goldfine are finding out. It takes a constructive program, Which the Republicans haven't got. They will be out in the cold again after the November elections, according to all predictions. Adams county ladies will be interested to know that the World’s Fair of Agriculture at Brookston, Indiana, this year, Will, contain many special features just for them. The fair, held September 24-25 north of Brookston, will draw many persons from all over the Middle West. A 4-level seven-room home designed and constructed especially for the show will be a fine feature. It is landscaped attractively with special trees, shrubs, vines and flowers that can be grown in Indiana. An intercommunication system, automatic fire alarm, built-in baby sitter, music in every room, and front door answerer are included inside the home. A wardrobe of washables, built-in kitchen, and hundreds of other up-to-date items of interest to housewives are in the display. Walking will be at a minimum this year as the fair is very compact.

The Democratic 85th congress has an outstanding record on legislation effecting small businessmen. The small business administration was given permanent status, expressing the hope of legislators that small business will remain, and that large businesses will now swallow them all. Tax adjustments favoring small businesses were the most important contribution of the Democratic congress. The small business investment act will provide for the chartering of private business by the SBA to loan money for small businesses. Previously this Was given only to big business. Government procurement through small businesses was ordered. Anti-trust legislation was passed. Small business hit the jackpot while the Congress was Democratic. Let’s keep it that way by electing Vance Hartke U. S. Senator from Indiana, and W. Robert Fleming Congressman from the Fourth District. o o Every voter in Decatur will have a right to express his opinion by ballot on the question of whether Decatur should sell its electric plant, of not. It should be understood by all that a decision not to sell must be followed by a decision to increase the bonded indebtedness of the city to provide better, more dependable service for Decatur's rural lines. Also, an adjustment for city industries, based on peak loads, is very much in line. This would reduce most of the company's’ electric bills. The city now has four bonded indebtedness, totaling a little less than $2 million. The city administration has not even discussed how to use the $2,102,300 which they would receive for the electric plant. Any speculation that it would be used to pay off the bonded indebtedness should be ' reserved until the City Has cussed the issues on that point. Os Course, sale would eliminate the $700,000 debt on the diesel plant. This is a question of jnajor importance to the future of Decatur. Read all material carefully, make your own decision.

DECATUR CATHOLIC HIGH By Theresa Laurent

» ■■ ' I f I 1 W Uh- '. - I ■Fv

What a game! Monmouth put up quite a struggle last Thursday, but the Commodores finally weaseled out of the baseball game with a 7-6 victory. After a tie in the ninth

inning, Jim Omlor batted in Tom Kohne, breaking the tie and whining the game in the tenth inning. A firm pat on the back to Coach Lindahl, who has led the boys to two fine victories. A game with Berne was scheduled for the 15th but was canceled because of weather conditions. —D.C.H.S .— If dancing is one of your favorite past times, you are sure to find entertainment Friday evening. Sponsored by the class of '59, this dance has as its purpose to welcome the freshmen to Decatur Catholic high. In memory of their own freshmen days, the seniors have planned an intermission period during which stunts will take place. Exclusive to the Catholic high students, the program is expected to last from 8 until 11 o’clock. —D.C.H.S.— In an effort to boost the football spirits, DHS sponsored a poster contest in which students from both the Catholic and public schools were invited to participate. Four DCHS students accepted the invitation, two coming Out on top, Judy Roberts and Jim Omlor, juniors at DCHS, won first and second prizes, respectively. Marie Tricker. a junior .and Ron Baker, a freshman,, also participated in the contest. -D.C.H.S — There are many interruptions which confront a teacher during a normal teaching day, and included among these is the harassing of heavy-duty trucks. But when power drilling is added, that's a “horse of a different color.’’ It is almost an impossibility, as well as an improbability, for the student to hear the teacher and vice Versa. Then, too, how long can a teacher hold the attention of the students? ! How long will the student continue to strain his ears to hear all words breaking from teacher’s lips? -D.C.H.S — Last Tuesday, class officers for the ensuing school year were elected. The returns are as follows: freshmen—president. Tom Kohne: vice president, John Kohne; secretary. Fred Zintsmaster: treasurer, Bcrnadine Eiting; sophomores — 4 president, Carolyn Kohne; vice president, Ed Lengerich; secretary, Phil Lose; treasurer, Patsy Cook; juniors — president, Sev Schurger; vice president, Mary Schultz; - secretary, Don Baker; treasurer, Steve Omlor; seniors—* president, Kathy Kohne; vice president, Steve Sutton; secretary, Mike - Durkinr treasurer, —Paul Gross. —D.C.H.S — Bravo! DCHS now has a new flag pole. In previous years it was necessary to use a device, which extended from a third-floor window. to hoist the flag of America. The new pole is located near the corner of the building on Fourth and Monroe Street?. Have you seen it yet? -D.CH.S.All students ih high school assembled in the gymnasium Wednesday to find out what rules the Rev. Robert Jaeger has set up for cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are expected to abide by these rules if they wish to retain their cheerleading positions. The actual selection of cheerleaders is expected to take place within the next few weeks. Good luck to all who plan to try out,. ' -D.C.H.S.— Faculty members, as well as the student body, thank Mrs. Schmitt and Mrs. Reynolds for their services rendered to the school. Mrs. Schmitt, with the assistance of Mrs. Reynolds, is in charge of the Central Service, a newly Organized branch, that takes care of such things as absentees and the paying of bills. -D.C.H.S.— DECATUR HIGH By Cheryl Ashbaucher

Wh a t is that! horrible smell? I This was “a com-1 ment that could I be heard all over I the school. But I it was really! nothing to worry ! about, just that

chemistry class trying ah experiment. The chemistry class worked in the laboratory for the first ti,me this week and they are finding it very interesting, although the rest o fthe school has to suffer! —D.H.S.— Although the Jackets played a fine football game, they were not able to stop New Haven from scoring a touchdown in the closing seconds of the game. The final score was 19 to 13 in favor of New Haven. The next football game with Garrett will be played this Fridaj- at Worthman Field. Come on team, and make this game a victory! -D.H.S.— After the game last Friday, the

senior class sponsored a dance at the Community Center. The room was decorated with posters frofn the poster contest, and a purple and gold goal post was placed at the entrance to the dance. Joe McNerney played the records. A large' crowd attended and fun was had by all. —D.H.S.— The journalism class, which publishes the school paper, the Jacket Journal, issued a one-page extra containing comments from the student body about the outcome of the game last Friday night. It was an interesting paper, and the students enjoyed it very much. —D.H.S.— The journalism class is also talcing subscriptions for the Jacket Journal. The present co-editors are Kathy Schultz and Gloria Wall. If anyone has not yet subscribed, better hurry for this year’s paper promises to be a good one! -D.H.S.— Clothes turned inside out and backwards, bowing, this is all a part of the freshman initiation. These students sure do look mixed up! The freshmen are enjoying it though? -DHS — Last week, five students of the sophomore Latin classes gave a short play describing how Latin is used in every day life. The students said it was very interesting. —DHS— The juniors certainly have something to be proud of. Tuesday they were informed that their class rings had finally come in. This is something that every student looks forward to, his own class rings. —D.H.S— Very soon scholarship tests will be given to the seniors. Any senior wishing to take this test must have his name and money into the office, by Friday. —D.H.S.— After the football game Friday, the junior class is sponsoring a dance at the Youth and Community Center. The admission price is 25c per person and 45c per couple. Let's supoprt those Jackets, then edme to the dance! - D.H.S.— „ Often when yotf Jump to conclusions you leap into trouble. Getting bitter never made a man, better. Even when you are let down, don’t let up. It doesn't take much sand to be a mud-slinger.
