Still A Question Will the people of Adams county be given the statistics on the juvenile cases handled in the local court? This is a question which this newspaper has asked three times this month. So far, in spite of overwhelming popular support from school teachers, law epforcement officers, public officials and parents, the court has not chosen to act. Many of the better juvenile courts in the state make it a firm practice to allow the people to know the full details of every case, with names of all juveniles omitted. This allows all concerned—parents, teachersj coaches, police, businessmen, and the public—to know the extent of crime, how it is being handled, and the effectiveness of the way it is handled. Names are never used in clearcut juvenile cases. They are used only after repeated offense makes it necessary to warn society of a hardened young tough who cannot be trusted to assume adult responsibility toward others. This rarely occurs in counties where firm and fair handling of juvenile offenses takes pjace. How manK young people are on probation in Adams county? How*fflany offenses were brought up last year, and in what categories ? What does the court recommend as remedies for the cases? These are facts that cannot prejudice the public against a juvenile. On the contrary, the truth can only help clear up the mess. Inthe recent case involving four youths, the names of those over 18 only were used in this newspaper, and other papers in this county and Wells and Allen counties. In the county where the offense took place, all four names were made public, as was a full account of what happened. - It is not necessary to tell the young people of Decatur, or the adults either, for that matter, who was involved. But it is very necessary that they understand what testimony showed to have happened. It was upon this testimony that«the sentence was meted out. • * • * Respect For The Flag The United States has no king, no dictator, no royal family or great national hero who is the unquestioned symbol of its past, present, and future: instead we have a flag which we rever as no other people treat their national emblem. At least, that is the theory. Keeping the flag flying, and respecting it, has been one of the leading rallying points in every national emergency. Recently Dan Emenhiser, a local man, looked around, and noticed that a number of flags were flying ’ that looked like they had survived the battle of Two Jima; they were ragged, torn, and dirty. In addition, some people allowed the flag to fly all night, or were throwing them away when old, rather than burning them. This was brought to the attention of the local post of the American Legion, and the Legion is now k campaiirii t o develop real respect and love for the American flag. We hope this develops into a real campaign for understanding of our national emblem. After all, this year the first star will be added since 1912, the first within the memory of many of us. Pride in our national emblem is a necessity in a Democracy, and all Iff us should strongly support this worthy project.

Asks Assembly Aid To Recover Funds State Department Negligence Charged INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Noble County Prosecutor Louis G. Ketcham has asked for Indiana legislative aid to recover credit union funds lost through the “incompetence, inefficiency and negligence” of the State Department of Financial Institutions. Ketcham met late Tuesday with Sen. Lucius Sommers <R-Hoeg- 1 land! and Rep. Ellsworth Peter- 1 son (R-Ligonidr). He asked their 1 assistance in recovering $1,717,468 I allegedly ’ embezzled from the No- 1 ble County Credit Union. Ketcham suggested that Somers and Peterson introduce bils which ' would reimburse about 3,000 mem- • bers of the credit unicm “who lost ' their life savings because of the ‘ gross negligence of the State De- 1 partment of Financial Institu- 1 tioni.” Arnold G. Hobbs, former manager of the credit union, is held in lieu of $109,400 bond on 21 in- 1 dictments charging embezzlement, j Also indicted was Edwin A. Cam- 1 bridge, 49, Greenwood, a former 1 examiner for the State Department of Financial Institutions. : “Maybe we are beating our ) heads against a stone wall in seeking leg is 1 t i v<e relief,” ; Ketcham said. “But the people of Noble County believe they should be paid back for losses incurred ; because of their misplaced trust : in the state department.” Ketcham said members of the credit union would have been bet- ( ter off had the state department, not conducted periodic examinations of the union’s books. . “The examinations lulled them io sleep,” he said. Ketcham said Cambridge issued a letter on state department stationery in which credit union funds were covered by insurance when in fact such insurance “never did exist.” Ketcham, Somers and Peterson conferred with Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers to seek an official opinion about the legality of legislative relief, “Such a bill would involve serious legal problems," Steers said. - "iTi my experienee l know of -noprecedent to go by.” He said the Indiana Constitution forbids “special legislation” aimed at relief for special groups,, But he said his. department “would cooperate” and do everything possible to aid depositors. Ketcham told Steers it was his feeling that the state was partly responsible for the loss because' the department of financial institutions “didn’t shoulder an ounce of responsibility’’- in protecting deposttors. “They, just didn’t want to make, anyone mad,” he said. “They forgot that laws were made for the i protection Os the depositors. Had the examination of the credit union books been made like they should have, this would not have ~ happened.” ~ Somers said he would confer with members of the Legislative Bureau in an attempt' to work out a bill whereby the state wbuld pay for the loss. Somers said the situation “looks dark, but I will do everything in my power to help these poor people.” Cub Scouts Visit Democrat Office Cub Scouts of den 9 were guests of the Decatur Daily Democrat Tuesday afternoon..

Fair Skies Prevail Over Most Os U.S. Start Giant Job Os Mopping Up Debris United Press International Fair skies prevailed over most of the nation Wednesday for the first time in a week: Flood-stricken residents of Ohio and Pennsylvania took advantage of the breathing spell to undertake the giant job of mopping up debris left behind by the receding floodwaters. Temperatures tumbled in the East under clearing skies, dropping an average of from eight to 15 degrees along a band from Louisiana northeastward to Pennsylvania. The only precipitation during the night was confined to rain along the central Pacific Coast, snow in the northern Rockies, a few snow flurries near Lake Superior and light drizzle in the Ozarks and parts of the Gulf States. A warming trend boosted temperatures in sections of the Rockies and the mid and upper Mississippi Valley, with increases of 20 degrees or more reported at such points as Glasgow, Mont.; Laramie, Wyo.; Sioux Falls, S.D., and Gpantsburg, Wis. State legislatures in Ohio and Rennsylvania considered measures to augment federal help to their flood devastated regions. Four emergertcy bills to appropriate nearly 14 million dollars for flood relief were introduced in the Ohio Legislature. Pennsylvania lawmakers earmarked three million dollars for relief purposes and considered a proposal to construct a 101-million-dollar dam on the Allegheny River north of Warren, Pa. The week-long series of violent storms which began last Tuesday claimed at least 131 lives in weather-connected accidents. A United Press International count of deaths caused by traffic accidents on slippery roads, floods, tornadoes, exhaustion and exposure showed Ohio with 20, _ Wisconsin 19. Michigan 14, Illinois. 13, Indiana and New York 10 each, Pennsylvania eight, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma five each. lowa four, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington two each, and North Dakota one.
