So states Dr. Morton Leeds in the latest edition of the monthly bulletin of the Indiana state board of health. At the current rate there will not be a resident over 65 left in the county homes. In 1933 county homes had 2.4% of the aged. Now just 25 years later, they have only .6%.

Both percentagewise and numerically they are dying away, and are only now maintained because of the tremendous increase in the number of the aged. There are 650 nursing and county homes in Indiana still serving a por tion of the 403,110 persons over 65. o—-o—— Right-to-work laws, so-called by their friends, have a moral aspect as well as an economic aspect. They actually deny the worker and management the right to make a contract establishing certain hardearned rights for the employes. They are a hoax, and their only purpose is to weaken and kill the unions. Their backers —not the dupes who have been taken in—want the open shop. They want a return to the “good old days,” when management had all the rights, and the worker had none. Don’t bb fooled by the words of the enemies of labor, who have built a great America through the free system of labor contracts with management. ——o o There is an interesting difference of opinion on the cost of the so-called Proxmire Plan for agriculture. This all-inclusive bill for farmers would, according to President Eisenhower, cost the government $35 billion. But an appraisal made by economists with the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress states that S. 2952, the Proxmire proposal, should cost substantially less than the cost of the existing farm program It appears that under the Proxmire plan farm prices could be protected at the full parity levels of 1952, with savings to the taxpayers of more than sl. billion a year. Taxpayers will be wise to support Vance Hartke for the U.S. Senate so that this tax-sav-ing plan of help for farmers can be adopted.

Three Scouts Report On Work For Merit Badges

Three Decatur Boy Scouts from the American Legion troop 63 learned about Decatur this summer by studying for the citizenship merit badge, Mayor Robert D. Cole, counsellor for the badge, said today. Each of the threje boys, David Swickard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dayton Swickard of Stratton Place, Ted Boch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Boch, and Robert Rucker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cloyd Rucker of Iving, Texas, visited the mayor’s court while it was in

CHAPTER 25 COLONEL HARVEY was perhaps thirty years old, but he seemed a tired old man. His face was haggard, his eyes sunken and dark with fatigue. Obviously he was a professional soldier, perhaps a West Point graduate, but he was also a harassed human being who had too much to do and too little with which to do it He looked up, unsmiling, as Colin said, “Captain Campbell reporting with the Wetherly platoon.” “Ah, yes, Captain, we have been expecting you.” Harvey indicated a chair. “Won’t you sit down?" Colin seated himself. Harvey asked, "Do you have any knowledge of the situation here?” “No, sir.” Harvey sighed and spread a map on top of some scattered papers. He pointed with a piece of paper to a section of the map. “General McClellan has landed some eighty thousand troops here on the James and, according to our intelligence, more are on the way. Their ultimate objective, of course, is Richmond.” "I understand.” "McClellan is waiting for reinforcements before he tries to take Yorktown. He doesn't know, of course, that it has already been evacuated. We hope to draw him on into the swamp area here between the Chickahominy and the Pamunkey rivers and take a stand somewhere in this area.” He pointed with his pencil. “General Powell is coming to reinforce us. Johnston has been severely wounded.” “I understand,” Colin repeated. "What do you understand?” Harvey asked sharply. “That we stop McClellan -before Richmond.” “You do understand.” Harvey permitted himself a fleeting smile. "Do you have any questions?” "How much fighting has there been?” "A lot—and all to our advantage so far. There will be much more before the fate of Richmond is decided.” “Where do I report now ?” "Your platoon will be directly under Major Andrews. Report to him tomorrow. I’ll send a scout to guide you.” "Are there any doctors in camp, sir?” “Surely you have no wounded? I understood your platoon has been sitting tight all winter and spring.” “No wounded. Only sore feet." Harvey shook his head sadly. "The doctors are all with the wounded near Richmond. The best I can offer is simple first aid.” Colin, who did not want Clem Faraday in the hands of an ignorant corpsman, said hastily,

session this summer, and then wrote up a report of the case. Swickard's report of the case read as follows: “The case in the mayor's court on Monday morning was that state trooper Gene Rash arrested for driving without a license. He pleaded guilty to the charge. He stated that the reason for his lack of a license was that he had no money for the insurance. When he did have enough money the insurance company went broke and could not accept his business. He

"We’ll get along." . “Good luck, Captain.” ‘Thank you, sir.” • • • At daybreak the next morning a weary-looking scout shuffled into camp to guide them to Major Andrews’ position. Past the staring soldiers, they started 'south from Williamsburg. Colin shuddered. The stares were neither apathetic nor meaninglesa Rather, it Was as though men watehing others depart for the battle lines were silently congratulating themselves because they did not have to go. Three hours later they reached a farmhouse with a dozen wagons standing outside. There was a picket line of horses and of mules, and soldiers bustled about. The scout said, “Here y’are." Colin met Andrews, a blackhaired major, who fulfilled his army duties with grim persistence. He nodded briefly. "Leave your wagon here and relieve Lieutenant Trevor on Dynamite Hill, Captain.” "Where’s Dynamite Hill?” Andrews pointed. “Right over there.” Colin stared wonderingly at a wooded knoll exactly like a dozen he had known at Hobbs Creek. Again he had to force his mind to grasp the realities of war. One rode horses on such hills and ran hound packs on them. One did not climb them for the purpose of killing other men. Andrews asked impatiently, “Do you understand. Captain?” “I understand.” Colin turned to Jason Maxwell “Sergeant, you and CIMn Faraday stay here to guard the mules and wagon.” “Yes, Captain.” Colin and the rest of his men filed up Dynamite Hill They met Lieutenant Trevor and his bored platoon and learned that none qf the enemy had been sighted. Then they took up positions. They stole sheepish glances at each other and were embarrassed. It made no more sense to wait on Dynamite Hill than it did to drill at Wetherly barracks, and the first hour was a fretful one. Then Ling Stewart said, “Look, Jedge." At first Colin did not see what Ling meant, and then he did. There were men on the hill facing theirs, men who carried rifles and wore blue uniforms, and they were slowly but purposefully advancing. Colin’s tongue went dry in his mouth and his eyes burned, i Surely the Yankees did not intend to come on, to kill and be killed. They would turn back. i “Get down, Jedge!” Ling whispered. , Colin crouched behind a tree,

was found guilty, however, and paid a fine of $1 and costs, amounting to $16.75. “It was found by the court that Mr. can get a license at the present time.” Ted Boch, in his report showed by a chart the responsibility of the voters to elect good Officers, who in turn appoint many other officers throughout the state. Rucker, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Tyndall of Decatur, wrote the following history of Decatur: ‘Decatur was founded in 1836. It was named after the famous naval hero, Stephen Decatur. The town was laid out by Thomas Johnson and Samuel L. Rugg. The plat was recorded July 23,

after noting that all his men had taken cover. He heard rifle and musket fire break out Ln adjoining positions, but kept his entranced eyes on the attacking enemy. They reached the foot of the hill ahead of Colin’s unit and they started up Dynamite HilL Colin was aware of his men shoot, ing and knew that he himself fired his 58 Worthington, but he did not know if he hit anyone. He watched a blue-clad Yankee, shot through the neck, spin around and around and finally crumple in a heap. He heard bullets singing near. Then the Yankees were gone, running back up their hill and disappearing among the trees. They held Dynamite Hill for three days. For the sake of that small hill, Tom Tyler and McDonald Murdock were dead, Marvin Teague had lost his left arm at the elbow and Johnny Mossmoss was crippled for life. They had defended this insignificant hill, and now they were abandoning it to the Yankees. A new line would be formed nearer Williamsburg. Back in camp; which now seemed a model of order and luxury, Colin was told Colonel Harvey wanted to see him at once. There was sympathy In the colonel’s haggard face as Colin reported in. “It was rough, eh?’’ he asked. “And yet, you know, when the history of this yar is written, the skirmishes around Dynamite Hill will be considered one of the many infinitesmal victories that made up a victorious battle." “Victory?” Colin asked dazedly. “There is usually nothing grand and glorious about victory', ft simply means that a few more men were killed on one side than on another, a slightly better position gained. But I did not summon you here to tell you this.” He looked directly into Colin’s eyes. “I’ve had a telegram from your brother Macklyn. Your father has had a stroke and is not expected to live.” Colin gasped. Colonel Harvey murmured his sympathy. “Your brother asks that you be allowed to go home on a short leave. I can grant you a leave now. We are re-grouping now and so are the Yanks, and the trains are running from Richmond to Denbury.” Colin could not take It all in. “How—” he began. Colonel Harvey rose and shook his hand. “You’d better leave right away for Richmond.” Colin faces a double tragedy in his home and learns, too, of theft and desertion. Continue the story tomorrow.

1836. Decatur was selected as the county seat of Adams county. In 1850 the population of Decatur was 231, in 1958 it ft about 8,000. “The present court house was completed in 1873. The estimated cost was SIOO,OOO. The first church built in Decatur was the First Methodist church, constructed in 1851. “It was not until 1880 that any of the streets were paved or graveled. “The city waterworks plant was put into operation in 1893. The city electric plant was ready for operation in 1875. The Citizen Telephone company was organized in 1894. On the last day of December, 1853, Decatur was incorporated as a town. In 1903 the Decatur public library building was erected at the cost of about $15,000.” Jobless Pay Claims Increase In Stale 29 Per Cent Boost Over Previous Week INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —Regular unemployment claims last week were 29 per cent higher than the corresponding week of 1957, the Indiana Employment Security Division said today. Division director William C. Stalnaker in his weekly report blamed a 3 per cent increase in regular claims over the week before on “seasonal layoffs” and “labor disputes in the ‘ auto industry.” The report showed regular claims last week totaled 41,809 compared to 40.516 the week before. Another 15,055 Hoosiers filed the extended benefits, a slight decrease from the 14,425 the previous Week. The division said 6.440 Hoosiers who had just lost their jobs filed for regular claims last week. Stalnaker said the increase “reflected slowdowns in seasonal industries such as food processing, construction, and stone quarrying as well as layoffs in auto supplier firms now feeling effects of labor disputes in the auto industry.”

Young Movie Star Is Nonconformist Diane Varsi Admits Being Rebellious By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-It wasn’t easy, but this zany celluloid farm has produced a feminine Jimmy Dean. She’s 20-year-old Diane Varsi, a troubled, introverted girl who says she is happy less than two days a week. Like the late Jimmy Dean, she is a full-fledged star after only two pictures. Diane admits she’s a rebellious noncomformist. Her behavior and appearance confirm it. Huddled in a comer of the 20th Cen t u r y-Fox commissary for lunch, Diane looked a perfect ragamuffin, the antithesis of such studio glamour girls as Jayne Mansfield and Joan Collins. Diane was wearing faded, skintight blue denim trousers, blotched by rust from the rivets Her hair was disheveled, her nails unpolished and her bare feet ensconced in Japanese san- , dais. She wore no makeup — not even lipstick — as she sat crosslegged at the table. “I’m not interested in superficialities,” she explained in a quiet voice. Thinks Clothes Unimportant “Fancy clothes and makeup take too much time. I only take time for things I think are important. Therefore I’m quite inconsiderate of my appearance and superficial opinions other people might have.” Diane and the late, tousledhaired Dean have other traits in common. Both were nominated for Academy Awards—Diane for her first role in “Peyton Place.” Like Dean she also fights studio dictates. Until recently she was under suspenion by Fox for refusing to accept a loanout. “I don’t like being compared to Jimmy,” she went on. “I never met him. But I want to be original. That’s how I think." i Diane rubbed her shiny nose

with the back of her hand and nibbled at a piece of French bread. Before answering questions she burrows deeply into her thoughts. — Asked the reason for this, she said, “I only went to high school for one year, and I like to think about things. “I’m undisciplined about my reading. Right now I’m studying anthropology and reading some books on plants and things." Has Young Son When Diane quit high school she struck out on a “pilgrimage to find myself.” In the process she worked as an apple, picker, restaurant hostess, model, salegirl and on an asembly line in a candle factory. Diane has been married twice and lives along with her 2-year-old son, Shawn. She divorced her second husband, James Dickson, last August. “My days are filled with housework and taking care of Shawn,” she said. “I don’t even own a television set Never saw more than 12 hours of TV in my whole life. I haven’t the time for it. “I’ve been a rebel since I was 12 years old. I was rebelling against the way I was treated and things I didn’t like. Even at that age I thought conforming would annihilate my very existence. When people ask me why I don’t conform I ask them, ‘conform to what’?” Currently starring in “Compulsion,'” Diane says “I am trying to commit myself as fully as I can to the role” —a characteristic well known to Dean’s associates. Dressed For Work CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPI) — Ted Tarczanyn plays it cool when he dresses for work, no matter what season of the year it is. Whether temperatures are in the 90’s or in the 20’s, Ted slips on a heavy winter underwear, two flannel' shirts, two sweaters, a pair of heavy woolen trousers, boots, a woolen cap, a heavy jacket and two pairs of gloves. The 54-year-old Ukrainian works in an ice cream storage warehouse. Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, was born in Sharon, Vt., in 1805.
