Kocher, Sr. For 60 years Mr. Kocher has been a resident of Decatur, and a leader in our city affairs. He entered the lumber business when 24 years of age, and at his death Thursday was president of the Kocher Lumber Company, Inc., of Decatur. He was well-known in the Tri-state area as a philatelist, and his special collection of U. S. Stamps was one of the best. An active member of the Presbyterian church of this city, he served as ... - • I , • • I * an elder and also as trustee. Although a native of Bluffton, he made Decatur his home-all his adult life, and was much beloved by -his frienc|s and relatives who mourn his passing. * ♦ ♦ • • ~ -v,.. ' ■ New YearAhetfd ? The three county commissioners started off the new year with more than a meal at the county farm, one of the traditional acts of the board. A full discussion of their many problems for 1959 took place at the 8 a. m. meeting en New Year’s Day. First, the building of the — - I ‘ county highway garage at Monroe will make many problems. Close supervision of all the county property was mentioned, so that it may be kept In good repair. The idea of a county cumulative building fund, so that when county buildings must be built the money need not be raised by huge taxes or bond issues in one year, was brought out by Stanley Arnold, new board chairman. This will probably be discussed further during the year, and talked over with legal counsel and the state tax board.— Many general problems arise every session for the commissioners, far more than appear in print. Some can be solved simply without action, some require long, thoughtful contemplation so that the Very best way can be devised. The present board seems quite desirous of doing its very best for Adams county during 1959.

Here is Bchu- ; man’s account of the incident.) ■ i iim »n> u» ’ / I 1 By CHARLES SCHUMAN United Press Internationa! HAVANA (UPD—In mid-after-noon, vandals were pillaging and looting in downtown Havana, and 1 Ray Ziesse, a United Press Mov- ' ietone cameraman, and I took a 1 cab to make the rounds and see what pictures we could get. A few blocks from our hotel we saw a mob of possibly 200 gathered in a narrow side steeet off The Prado, Havana’s major thor- < oughfare. We stopped the cab driver and < walked 100 yards down the side : street. Part of the mob was 1 breaking into a store protected by shutters. 'Diey were using heavy : wooden sticks and heavy metal 1 .shafts from parking meters up- 1 rooted from the sidewalks* I started to shoot with the Rolliflex la still camera) and Ray was shooting movies. Suddenly one member of the mob started screaming, "No pictures,” and Tan at us. He grabbed my camera and smashed it to the ground. He was tall and sllm and had a mustache, rfe seemed semi-hysterical. About a dozen people gathered around, and I started backing oft toward The Prado. Ray was beside me. I didn’t care* too much ' about losing the film as long as Ray could get away with the mov- . ies he had shot. But the man who had seized my ‘ cameraturnedon Ray z He knocked the heavy movie camera ‘ to the ground. I kept shouting, ! "We’re Americans.” But it did no good. He picked up Ray’s cam- ! era and dropped it again, snrash- ’ ing it a second time. By now we just wanted to get ’ out. We didn’t dare turn our • backs, so we started walking backward, facing our assailants. They glared, and one man shouted, but we reached The Prado and reported back to the office. Later in the afternoon, when I resumed a tour of the city—with- ' out my camera — I saw police coming up the street, and the mob scattered. ! * - • "* • i. »• —. v • i Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE . o- — Meat Loaf ‘ Instead of baking the meat loaf in a solid f o r m try baking in a ring pan.
