A big surprise occurred in Bluffton Tuesday. The local Chamber of Commerce announced to its members that the budget for this next .year would be quadrupled—sl6,ooo instead of $4,000. The main addition will be a full-time secretary. o— —o—The Pilgrims would have been shocked to their shoe buckles on December 13, 1621 if they had known that their day of thanks would become a national holiday celebrated by millions. The Pilgrims were dead-set against holidays, refusing to celebrate even Christmas or Easter. They celebrated only when they felt that Providence had given them a particular blessing. o—o It is understood that the Decatur fire department and the Loyal Order of Moose will cooperate in staging a porchlight campaign for muscular dystrophy in Decatur. The Berne firemen did so last year, and plans to conduct the drive again this year. Remember that our dollars are needed to help in research and treatment in this crippling disease. o —o— — Does Communist China actually have the oil wells which she has claimed recently in worldwide broadcasts? Recent claims of a wildcat well which daily produces half of the world’s oil production, wells dug with picks, and oil made from birch bark and river weeds are some of these claims. The facts are that in 11 years the Chinese petroleum industry has increased 12-fold, according to Petroleum Week. About 2.7 million square kilometers of Chinese land arc now believed likely to contain some oil. Imports of oil have been one of the biggest burdens of the regime, however. They eat up foreign currency, cut down Soviet credits, and otherwise deplete funds which Peking would rather use for industrial equipment. So,

the idea is to push China’s petroleum production to the fullest. Th© story about “oil” being obtained from plants is spread so that peasants will burn reed juices instead of animal fats or oils, which provide valuable export dollars. Cheap labor is used to extract small amounts of petroleum, even from holes in the ground, to prevent the drain of capital from the country. o o Hersel Nash, former superintendent of the Decatur electric light and power department, pointed out an error in an editorial a few days ago. In the balance sheet of the department it shows an earned surplus of $2.349,475.30 since the company was founded. It had been assumed in the editorial that this money was transferred into the general fund. Actually, until 1950 or 1951, about $15,000 a year was transferred into the general fund. The electric profits also built the fire house and bought all of the trucks except the last one, and, of course, • free street lighting. But most of the money had been put back into the light company, and would not be realized unless the company was sold, Nash pointed out. Nash stated that if the city were to keep the power plant that rates for industry and rates for rural subscribers would have to be reduced, but that since the reduction could only come from the Indiana public service commission, it might be impossible to lower rates with an outstanding bond issue, and another bond issue anticipated to pay for rural improvements and a sub-station. Nash suggested selling the plant and using the money to provide a gravity water distribution system, rather than a power system, which could be out of operation during a fire that could then destroy the city. We thank Mr. Nash for pointing out our error, and while we are not necessarily advocating his plan, we suggest it be given serious consideration by the city citizens.

Article By Decatur Teacher In Magazine Mrs. Ruby Swickard, 215 Stratton Way, a kindergarten teacher at Lincoln school, is represented in the December issue of “The Instructor,” a nationally circulated teachers’ magazine. Mrs. Swickard’s article, “Little Santa,” tells how she uses a puppet in her classroom to dramatize visits from Santa. The children tell Santa what they want for Christmas and then draw pictures of the articles. Other articles by Mrs. Swickard have previously appeared in “The Instructor.” 23 CARDINALS (Continued from page one) 1945. and named archbishop of Philadelphia on Nov. 18, 1951. Archbishop Cushing was born Aug. 24, 1895, in South Boston, Mass. He was graduated from Boston College and St. John’s Seminary in Brighton, Mass,, and was ordained on May 25, 1921. He was appointed auxiliary bishop of Boston on June 29, 1939, and became archbishop of the Boston diocese on Sept. 25, 1944. Mexico received a cardinal for the first time in its history. He was Jose Garibiy Rivera, 69, archbishop of Guadalajara. Vatican sources said the appointment of a Mexican cardinal underlined steadily improving church-state relations in that country since the persecutions of more than 30 years ago when many churches in Mexico were closed. Mexico is almost completely Roman Catholic, but various revohitions have turned against the church because of its former feudal landlords. were mobbed and occasionally killed in what for a time were almost regular attacks. The new appointments preserved the international character of the Sacred College fostered by the late Pope Pilis XII. Foreign cardinals are still in the majority, 46 members as compared with 29 Italians. Vatican sources said it . was significant that the Pontiff had increased the strength of the Curia cardinals by six—five Italians and one Frenchman. The Curia is the main resident administrative body of the Catholic Church but had lost some of its influence during the reign of Pius XII. Pope John apparently plans to delegate more authority to the Curia.
