I IS nmi »■■■ ■■ Changes In Decatur Soundings were made Thursday in the earth near the present Central Soya Company solvent plant to see how much weight the ground structure will support. This must be done before a new Feed mill could be constructed. We understand that nothing definite has been decided yet. One of the downtown businesses hardest hit by the high water was the Mies Bowling alley. Carl “Molly” Mies returned home from a Florida vacation only to find his son, Dick, in the basement with as many as three pumps running at the same time, trying to keep the water from completely undermining the building. Water from the sewers came gushing in through newly developed cracks in the floor and walls. A number of pumps were used for 30 hours to keep the water as shallow as possible. Bowling balls and equipment had to be removed from the downstairs lockers. The flood this year was 2i/ 2 inches deeper at Decatur than in 1950, but was still two feet shallower than in 1913, according to a comparison of pictures taken then and now. The flood was much worse in the flat areas of the county, such as Monroe and Kirkland townships, than in former years. Miller-Jones began changes in the front of its downtown store this week. The new bank addition continued to grow, as the plastic covering was moved up from the basement level to allow more work to be completed.

NOTES FROM AFTER TRINH By Jack Belter HONEST ABB ... February to tee month of famous birthdays, and tee Lincoln school kindergarten class of Mrs. Zwtek was busy coloring pictures of Abraham Lincoln. Mr*. Zwick was making some comments on the life of the great man during the day, and one of the children spoke up and said she knew of Lincoln. "He’s the man that Mr. Thomas said not to throw snowballs at." Mrs. Zwick let this comment pass, so the class wouldn't get off on the wrong foot, and later saw the little girl and asked her what ahe meant by her comment about snowballs. The young lady answered politely that everyone heard Mr. Thomas say they were not to throw snowballs at Lincoln. CONFIDENCE There were many incidents that occurred during the recent flootjj that weren’t very funny, but some of them did have a lighter side. Someone called the police station Tuesday while the river was rising rapidly and wanted to talk. They conversed about the situation in general—the trucks and cars stopped on 224 — and then stated that the water near their house was rising. In a very calm manner, they Inquired if they should prepare to evacuate the house for fear of high water, or would the water department take care of the water. They were assured that the water department Would handle things. OUCH! There are reports of all sorts of strange things flying through the air these days, and W. Guy Brown found out that they aren’t all false. The final day of the auction school’s last semester, one of the local eateries gave the boys a break and baked biscuits for their breakfast. After the students had eaten, there were some of the fresh-from-the oven morsels left over for the other customers. Mr. Brown entered tee establishment right behind another customer who had a friend at the counter munching some biscuits. The friend, feeling in a jovial mood, picked up one of the bagles and playfully flipped it at his pal with the statement, “have a biscuit for breakfast." The friends reaction time was good. He stepped tff one si<Je, and an unsuspecting superintendent caught a biscuit right between the eyes. When the sftioke had cleared, Mr. Brown had no comment to make, but it is reported that he had a slight lump on his forehead. OUTLOOK—UP OR DOWN A lot of people gripe about their jobs. They may not feel that they are important enough. In this line of thought an item-to con- - sider-'— ' ' Three carpenters were working on a structure. A passing sidewalk superintendent stopped and asked the men what they were doing. x The first carpenter answered that he was. working fbr sts a day. The ■Second man said he was pounding nails. The third worker replied that he was building a home for the shelter and comfort of a family. Most of life is not particularly what you are doing, but the outlook you have in doing it. ODE TO AN ICY STREET The ice, methinks. Should stay in drinks, Or where I have no notion To put my feet Upon the street. For means of locomotion, GOING—GOING—GONE Every one has his troubles — and a mayor has more than usual. Recently. Bob Cole had a minor headache, the type that crops up every day. A local lady phoned the police that a stray dog Was causing a problem in the neighborhood. The gendarmes went to the rescue, and interned the problem pooch in the poodle pound. The lady then went about her usual daily tasks that included attending a sale that evening. One of the items for sale at the auction was a very familiar dog. In fact, it was the very dog that the police had removed from her neighborhood that morning. Needless to say, the lady was quite upset, and the following morning she let ths mayor know about it. Mr. Cole was entirely in the dark, but a little investigation showed that someone was removing dogs from the city pound and auctioning them off. This condition has been remedied. The moral of this tittle tale, If there is one, is to make sure your dog has a tag. Fined For Failure To File Returns INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —George R. Lawson, 53, Brazil mortician, was fined $3,000 and given a oneyea r suspended prison term Friday by Federal Judge William E. Steckler on charges of failure to file income tax returns.

Bad Weather Blamed % On Wind Speed Drop WASHINGTON (UPI) —Experts blame the Ohio-Indiana floods and the mean weather which has been afflicting many other parts of the country on an unusually sharp drop in wind speeds aloft. This slackening in the “prevailing westerlies’* caused an abrupt change in atmospheric pettenia, with the aforementioned nasty results. It’s a matter of troughs and ridges and over-long wave lengths. The prevailing westerlies are high level winds which blow almost continually in a generally west-east direction in the Temperate Zone of the Northern Hemisphere. According to Dr. Jerome Namias of the Weather Bureau, they practically control the Weather. ; As they zip along, they create vast waves in the atmosphere. The troughs and ridges of these waves, sometimes half a continent apart, run generally north and south. The troughs provide avenues through which cold, dry northern air can flow south, and warm, moist southern air. can move north. When these masses meet, anything can happen, and something always does. How long a particular trough will stay put depends in large part on the power of the winds which created it. The greater the wave length, the greater the wind Intensity required to sustain it. When wind speeds fall off, a long wave will break up, and a new trough form somewhere else. That is what happened this month. In this case, however, the drop in wind speed was much greater and less gradual than normal. a——c 20 Years Ago Today o—..
