The Sectional Basketball fever reaches its critical point this week, breaking and disappearing in three weeks until next fall It’s too bad that this fast-moving, entertainment far outshadows the real purpose of our eight county high schools—training young people to be able to live together and learn enough to provide for their future families. But discipline, mental or physical, is dud, strenuous, and colorless, and no school becomes famous for its bright scholars. So while we’re enjoying the excitement of the games this week, cheering on our favorite team totally without rhyme or reason, let’s not forget the serious purpose that schools have. Good luck to the best team, and to all the others, too! But more than that, here’s to the school that can show that it has the top scholars in math, science, language, music, civics, and other academic fields. e • • • • Decatur Opens Up After a cold, tough winter it will be a pleasure to come to town March 14 and see the newly painted, decorated stores with the latest merchandise. That is the date of this year’s spring opening. The Easter Bunney himself will be present in the main streets to entertain and delight the children and oldsters alike, passing out candy eggs to the little tots. Merchants will not only have their new merchandise out, they will also be giving away many items to their friends and patrons. Let’s all work together to make Decatur a clean, friendly town, and encourage people to want to trade < here. After all, with the low overhead shops have in Decatur, merchants here can and do offer bargains far in access of the “come-ons” of the big-city stores. Decatur merchants back up their goods, and are handily located for shopping any time.

U.S. Budget Battle Up To Committees

WASHINGTON (UPD—-The battle of the budget centered today in two congressional committees where Democrate expected to gain approval of administration - opposed housing and depressed area The House Banking Committee planned a showdown vote on a $2100,000,000 Democratic bousing bill— 450 million dollars more than President Eisenhower has recommended. The measure would expand federally-subsidized public housing and provide federal grants for slum clearance. Outnumbered Republicans had no real hope of success in offering the President’s bill as a substitute before the final vote. The Senate production and stabilization subcommittee began hearings on a variety of bills to pump economic life into depressed areas. Democrats want to spend 275 million dollars for the program. The administration wants to hold expenditures to 58 million dollars In loans and grants. Subcommittee Chairman Paul H. Douglas (D-m.) said Democrats would catrry their fight to the people if the President again vetoes their bill to aid areas of chronic unemployment. House Republicans at a caucus late Tuesday passed a resolution promising that the GOP would de velop proposals to cut spending and would oppose “extravagant new spending schemes which can lead only to national disaster.” Other congressional news: Backets: The Senate Rackets Committee hoped to get more information about hoodlum ra ids that laid waste to more than 100 coin machines in the Chicago area. Winding up the Chicago phase of its juke box investigation, the committee called in three operators and a Union official who allegedly promoted a gangsterbacked trade association. Democrats: Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) said a fellow Democrat’s attack on Lyndon B. Johnson’s Senate leadership was made “in very poor grace and with very little justification.” He said he did not think the public criticism voiced Monday by Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) would produce “any great revolution” in Senate affairs. Taxes: Rep. John W, Byrnes (R-Wis.) said that a bill to give special tax relief to the self-em-ployed could lead to a three billion dollar a year drain on the Treasury. Byrnes was the tone

member of the tax-writing House Ways & Means Committee to voice objections to the measure, which won overwhelming approval from the group two weeks ago. Hawaii: The drive for Hawaiian statehood opened in the Senate before a territories subcommittee. Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) said he hoped the Senate would pass the bill before the Easter recess. Only one opposition witness has signed up so far to appear before the subcommittee. Lenten Service At Reformed Church The third in the series of midweek Lenten services will be held in the Zion Evangelical and Reformed church. Third and Jackson streets, this evening at 7:30 oclock. The pastor, the Rev. William C. Feller, will be in charge of the service and will preach on the theme: “The Cross, Our Only Glory.” A vocal duet will be presented by Harold Cox and Mike Kaehr. They win sing “'Nailed to the Cross,” by Tullar. Members and friends of the church are invited to worship in this service. Window Is Broken At Service Station Clark Flaugh, owner of Decatur!
