Let’s Boost The Jackets For the first time in seven years supporters of the Decatur Yellow Jackets will have the great pleasure of cheering their favorite team on in the regional. Fans are delighted, and the team members are working hard to play well against the South Side Archers Saturday afternoon. It would certainly show a lot of town spirit if all the Decatur merchants and businessmen would show their enthusiasm by decorating their store fronts and boosting the local team. A number of places, such as the Decatur Music House, Teen Togs, and Bowers Jewelry, have already decorated. The Yellow Jackets overcame a number of difficulties this year, and accepting the challenge, overcame it, and won the sectional when both Berne and Hartford were believed to be the favorites. Our team will now be carrying the name of Decatur to the regional; and scores from these games will be known over the entire state. This is good publicity. So let’s back the team that makes it possible. Next year it may be the Decatur Catholic Commo—dores, or the Greyhounds, or Eagles, or Spartans, but this year it’s the Yellow Jackets so let’s back them, and at the same time back Decatur! • » » • Following The Lead It has been quite interesting to follow the first actions of Indiana’s junior senator, Vance Hartke, in his first few weeks of activity in the U. S. Senate. The popular former mayor of Evansville has already become a force to be reckoned with in that august body. One of his first actions was the creation of a weekly news letter to keep Indiana editors informed as to what he was accomplishing. This news letter has been so valuable and efficient that ever veteran senator Homer Capehart has adopted it this past week. This indicates the real value to the state of having “new blood” with new ideas in the senate. ’ .course the. two senators .are in slightly.different—positions. Hartke uses his letter to explain exactly the bills he is supporting, and to tell why. Capehart has largely used his to defend the Eisenhower administration. Hartke, for example, explains in his letter of March 2 why he proposed amendments to the insurance tax bill that he felt, after study, were unfair to labor and management in certain types of pension plans; why he supports help for veterans and widows; how he backed up the choice of 98.4 % of the tobacco growers in southern Indiana on marketing quotas which they favor; he also lists all the people who visit him in his office in Washington. Capehart, in his letter of March 2, defended raising interest rates to REMC’s, keeping Secretary Dulles, whom he described as “frequently in great pain,” as '■ secretary of state despite his illness, and a “stay tough” policy with Russia.
