The Youth Center Community center director Dick Linn is waiting anxiously for parent’s response to the idea that they offer their services, as the young men and women of the center want them, to assist in classes to learn new - skills, such as square dancing, latest dance steps, or skills that will be used by young people at college like playing bridge or pinochle. Activities that are of interest to girls are also needed very badly at the center. There are many women who could assist the teenagers in devloping skills in which they are interested. Perhaps some sorority chapter could help. Remember this —they are out children. We cannot “hire” someone to raise them. Through our own efforts, even if it means giving up our present habits of a night or so a week, we must assist. Part of the job of assisting at the center will be to find out what young people really desire, and how we can help even younger ones develop traits that will make them valuable, honored and poised members of society. Let us remember to keep any discussion of prob- • lems in their proper prospective. Sure, we have prob- .. lems. And we always will. We should try to solve them as best we can. But we need not panic. It does no good to point with alarm- Instead, let us work together to remedy the situation. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that most of the young men and women of today are training themselves to be valuable members of society. The high school choir, the honor roll, the list of achievements in boy scout and 4-H work, in little league sports and other sports, all show us this. The big change we need to make is in our own attitudes. We must stop pointing at others, and accept our own responsibilities. Every segment of society must improve in this respect,* or decay and wither into UuvlvijOliViJiJii H / *■♦ ♦ • Alarming Situation With the knowledge that several Decatur residents are'presently patients in area hospitals came the shocking information last night that all Fort Wayne hospitals. had been informed that operations requiring the use of blood must be postponed, since there is no blood * available in the blood bank. An urgent pled by radio and TV Monday brought in only five blood donors! It brings the situation very close to us when we realize that those whom we all know and respect may have to suffer because we, in our selfishness have ignored one of the most vital community projects we have—maintenance of a working-level supply of blood in the area blood bank. — Every week a number of people from Decatur, Monroe and Adams county are hospitalized in Fort Wayne. Blood obtained there for emergencies comes from that donated by people during visits of the bloodmobile. Blood taken at Decatur and Berne goes to Fort Wayne for processing, and from there is sent where needed in this area. Blood used in our local hospital comes from the same source. It is too late to ask for the blood when it is needed. It must be on hand. If every person between the ages of 18 and 50 who is in good health would give blood even as often as twice a year, there would be plenty on hand for all emergencies. But too often we neglect this important civic duty, thinking of it too late, and only when a close member . ; of our own family is suffering. Let us keep in mind the fact that much suffering can be avoided, perhaps even death itself prevented, by our action in donating blood when the Red Cross calls for ft, -.

RED CROSS Continued from page one for nurses. Dr. Harold Zwick attended a meeting for the medical division in Fort Wayne. The executive secretary, Mrs. Wanda Oelberg, spent two days in training at Fort Wayne. The chapter now has two 25-family disaster kits on hand. > Workers in the recent fire Jan. 4 were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fuhrman, Mrs. Oelberg, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Petrie, and Reinhold Sauer. First Aid During the fall, the first aid group was busy conducting four classes for the school bus drivers, police and firemen’of the county. Instructors Roy Gilliom and Iris Lehman taught a class at Berne. Dr. J. E. Morris, Walter Stoppenhagen, and Gerald Durkin taught two classes in Monroe and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Singlton and Mrs. Leo H. King, Jr., taught the Decatur class. A total of 90 students finished the courses. On Dec. 6 the Decatur merchants again arranged three trips of the Santa Claus train to Ohio City, 0., on the Erie railroad, and return. Each train was staffed by a registered nurse and two Red Cross first aid workers. More than I, persons made the trips, and no serious accidents occulted. The committee also was active at the Adams county basketball tournament January 15-1?. First aid workers Roy Gilliom, Gerald Durkin, Iris Lehman, and the Mesdames Mary Howard, Maxine Ford, Harold Idlewine, D. J. Grey, and Charles Schnepp helped at the first aid station. Doctors Norman Beavers, C. D. Hinchman;, and Howard Luginbill, nurse Mrs. Joan Keller were in charge. Ambulances were brought by Yager of Berne, and Black’s, Zwick, and Gillig & Doan of Decatur. On January 21 two advanced first aid classes were started by Miss Lois Folk, one in Berne and one in Decatur. The workers were sincerely thanked by Gerald Durkin and Mrs. Roger Singlton for their efforts on the committee. * Blood Program During the Nov. 3 bloodmobile visit, 143 pints of blood were collected, with 15 first-time donors, 43 replacement donors, and 31 volunteers gave a total of 314 hours labor towards the success of the meeting. Food for the canteen was donated by Harmon’s market. The blood program committee met Nov. 7 to discuss any problems there might have been, and suggestions in connection with the blood program. The latter part of December nearly 100 letters were mailed to all ministers in this part of the county and all organizations, making a plea for new donors and more young persons. Three pledge; cards were included in each letter asking that each group send in just three new donors. Only a few were returned, but many organizations had no meetings between the time they received the° letters and the date of the bloodmobile visit. It was suggested at the meeting that the Berne organization send letters to the ministers and organizations of that area to encourage more donors for the bloodmobile visit there March 25.

Plan Project For Respect For Flag A project, encouraging local Citizens to treat the American flag respectably, is being undertaken by the Decatur American Legion post, according to plans instigated Monday night at the monthly meeting. The fact that many are often guilty of neglecting proper care of the flag, and the disgrace of flying a dilapidated or worn out flag, were the major considerations prompting this project, a Legion spokesman said. Advances in the project will be made when members note the public reaction to the plan. Plans for the continuous membership banquet were also cemented last night. The banquet, scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 19 at the Legion home, will honor 40-year members and have the state commander as guest speaker. Sunday Wreck Fatal To Michigan Man MUNCIE, Ind. (UPD — Emmett Jones, 54, Detroit, Mich., died today in Ball Memorial Hospital from injuries sustained Sunday in a car-truck collision six miles north of here on Ind. 3. Jones' death raised the weekend toll in Indiana traffic to three. AIMS AT REDS Continued from page one forces of aggression ... (it is) a mighty bulwark of peace.” Will Outstrip U.S. But the emphasis was on peaceful production — more of everything. More food, more housing, more schools, more consumer goods. ‘‘Now these figures are in the billions,’’ Khrushchev said. "We are not used to quoting trillions—not yet.” , Time and again he was wildly applauded. He predicted Russia would “catch up with and outstrip” the United States within a dozen years and take over “first place in the world.” “With each passing year the U.S.S.R. is growing stronger,” Khrushchev proclaimed before the Communist world’s most powerful assembly./ “The domestic and international position of the Soviet Union has never been as stable. . .(we are) a mighty bulwark of peace. There is every reason to stat that th socialist countries stand at the head of all progress." Khrushchev gave the 1,275 cheering delegates and assembled leaders Os world Communism this assignment for the seven years ahad: “The historic task of catching up and surpassing the leading capitalistic countries in per capita output must be carried out... Make the most of the time factor in socialism's peaceful economic competition with capitalism. ..” Message All Encompassing ' Khrushchev's state of the Soviet ■ Union message was all encompassing, and in it he spoke bellig- ] erently but without a hint of war. , He put the accent on “peaceful competition,” and ie his emphasis • on a rising standard of living j seemed to indicate a considerable , de-emphasis of military spending. “The invincible camp of social- 1 ism has everything necessary to . bridle the forces of aggression, ” he j said. ( Khrushchev went on to demand , “consistent pursuance of a for- J eign policy aimed at preserving j and consolidating international ; peace and security” and said “it is necessary to put an end to the < cold war and to lessen interna- , tional tension.” ~ , 1 NEW DELAY IN (Continued from page one) Suffers Setback , Senate Democrats suffered at 1 least a temporary setback when < plans to blast the "right to work” i repealer from committee were 1 postponed because the opposition ' leader was hospitalizd with flu. Sen. C. Wendell Martin (R-Indian- i apolis) was expected to be absent 1 the remainder of the week. , Sen. George McDermott (R-A ' Alexandria), head of the Senate : Labor Committee, sent a letter to ; state AFL-CIO chief Dallas Sells ] requesting that Sells testify at a public hearing on the "right to 1 work” repealer Thursday night., McDermott said he wanted Sells to inform the committee how many members and how many locals, if any, were lost because of passage of ."right to work.” He said Sells should be prepared to present the ifAW-CIO movie on the “right to work” Issue and be prepared to tell who paid for the film. Sells said a decision on whether he will appear would be reached at an AFL-CIO board meeting today. '* In regard to McDermott’s questions on membership, Sells replied: "I would be glad to try to get that information if they also asked the Indiana Right To Work Committee, Inc., to give similar information about its membership.” . - - Sells hinted that he might comply with the committee's request even if the pro-“right to work” group did not. “Tney will be surprised to learn that union membership has dropped since ’right to work’ went into effect,” Sells said. He said the drop was "several thousand.”

The two 14-pound charges sent the waters downstream into the already swolen Wabash. Sources on the scene report that a series of ice gorges could produce another blockage. Rodger Cox, manager of the Bluffton airport, will patrol the area from the air, complementing the investigating authorities on the ground. Highway 27 Near Berne In Bad Shape Chuck holes, ruts, and other signs of deterioration are reported on U.S. 27 north and south of Berne. The thoroughfare through the city is also impeded at various locations. The severity of wintry weather combined with the influx of mounting traffic has taken its toll on fire highway proper. The Indiana state highway commission is being asked to look into the situation and to rectify it as soon as possible. SUBMIT BILL Continued from page one. vote, and the bill passed to third reading and a final showdown in the Senate. The parimutuel bill, one of two prepared by state horse racing interests for introduction in this session, was introduced by Rep. Delbert Smith (D-Galveston), president of the Indiana Trotting & Pacing Horse Assn. It provides for parimutuel betting at supervised tracks, but not at county or 4-H fairs. Smith estimated it would bring in 10 million dollars a year for the state. He said it was based on laws in rfeighboring states. Smith said he favors starting with a single parimutuel track in Southern Indiana. A companion bill to be introduced later will designate that the income from the parimutuel windows be divided between county fairs, 4-H activities, teacher fund, teachers retirement and the stat gneral fund. Majority Democrats had their way on acceptance of a committee report recommending passage of the revenue department “rippr” measure. A minority Rpubllcan rport would have returned the bill to committee. House Republican floor leader Cable Ball argued during debate that the bill was aimed at “disorganizing government.” But Democratic floor leader Donald Foltz said he wouldn’t worry about the governor losing any power.' “The next governor is going to be a Democrat," Foltz said.

Police estimated damages ’ to the Roop vehicle at $360 and SIOO damages to the Fuhrman i auto. St Mary's River Begins To Recede Hie rising paters of St. Mary’s river, which have crippled roads and flowed onto Ohio highways 49 and U.S. 33 at Willshire, 0., receded about a foot in Decatur today, and are also expected to alleviate the adverse conditions at Willshire. Weather observer Louis Landrum gives the height of the river ; here at 17.57 feet at 7 am. Tuesday, a drop from Monday’s high 1 of 18.52. No precipitation was reported. The flood waters at Willshire forced schools to close Monday because the buses counfi not travel on the ice caked highways serving the town. The water was level with the highways at many points, and flowed over at various other points. Numbering Os Houses Studied At Geneva Geneva, the only town in this area which does not have a house numbering system, may soon have one if a proposed ordinance is passed at the February meeting of the Geneva town board. The ordinance would direct that homes, businesses and vacant lots be systematically numbered. The community of more than 1,000 has been handicapped by the lack of such a system because new industries or projects require explicit knowledge of locations in correspondence with interested parties. A committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce has outlined, the direction the ordinance should follow.
