Good New* For Decatur A general pickup in local employment is in evidence, as several local industries have added workers this week. One local employer was complaining because two of his employes had quit without notice to take higher paying jobs in industry. While this works a hardship on those who have been employing former factory workers, the town in general will prosper as the local factories prosper. L The pickup in business will soon be reflected on Second street. As Blackwells finishes its closeout sale_ this week. a grand "opening of the new store will take place. Miller-Jones is. remodeling, and staying open for business at the same time. Soon a new store front will brighten that" part of main street. Sutton’s Jewelry store is being completely redecorated and the very latest fixtures installed. The cigar store has just reopened, and has been considerably modernized. Next door, the area formerly occupied by the Blackstone Case is being cleared of debris remaining from the fire, and it is understood that this building may be rebuilt, after all. Schafer’s Store is also being redecorated, and a new lighting system installed. Changes are about to be made at Ehinger & Kortenber’s Boston Store. The Salvation Army store is closing out by March '■ 15, and moving to a new location. The Blackstone Case will move into that building. All in all, a number of changes are taking place, and when the spring opening sale begins Saturday, March 14, new stores, new store fronts, and of the latest new merchandise will be up for sale in Decatur’s business district. . ••, • • Go You Jackets Neither the flu bug nor bad weather can dampen the spirits of the loyal Yellow Jacket fans who are spending a feverish week figuring ways to stop South Side’s high scoring forward, Tom Bolyard. Enthusiasm sparked by the winning of the sectional is carrying over, and building up towards Saturday’s game. Decatur merchants have discussed a big send-off for the Jackets on Saturday to help build their enthusiasm. A number of businesses have already decorated, including Anspaugh’s Studio, and Wertzberger’s Confectionery. The hopes of the entire city and student body yvill rest upon the broad shoulders of the 12 athletes who are qualified to represent Decatur high school on the gym floor Saturday. An honest effort, real sportsmanship and teamwork can pay off in a well-played game to the credit of all concerned.

Before stitching heavy materials, such as khaki, duck, and canvas, rub hard soap over the hems and seams. The needle will then penetrate the material more easily. Whiter Clothes Try slicing a rind of lemon into the boiler of clothes. This will induce whiter clothes and remove the stains out of pocket handkerchiefs, underwear, and table linens.

Backs Higher Gasoline Tax, Postal Rates WASHINGTON (UPD — Democratic Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (Ore.) threw his support today behind President Elsenhower’s request for higher gasoline taxes and postal rates. He also called for restoration of wartime excess profits taxes on corporations, and a reduction in the oil - gas depletion allowance from 27% to 15 per cent. The lawmaker told the Senate in a prepared speech that his proposals would bring the government almost three billion dollars more each year to finance the cold war. ‘‘This is not an easy program,” Neuberger said. “It holds no illusions that the way ahead is strewn with rose petals. It asks sacrifices of the high, the low and the in-between.” However, he forecast, the American people would “respond affirmatively” if they were told that the survival of the free world against Russia might depend on such sacrifices. Other congressional news: . . Powell: Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-N. Y.) said five Eisenhower administration appointees went on Caribbean junkets recently at the expense of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. He promised to “list” them in a House speech. He called for a House Foreign Affairs Committee investigation of his charges. Space: Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N. Y.) urged this country to press for a code of space laws before Russia claims the moon or all of outer space. He told the House Space Committee the code should ban any nation from asserting ownership of heavenly bodies or space. Keating, a lawyer, said it also should deal with falling satellites, space ship communications and space navigation. Nepotism: House members said the headlines about congressional nepotism had hurt, but not killed, chances for boosting their office payrolls to $50,000 a year by adding a $14,000 administrative assistant. The House Administration Committee twice has approved the new helpers. Farm: An angry group of congressmenannounced they would march Friday on Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson’s office to complain about cuts in feed grain, price supports. Other lawmakers! edited for congressional tlon of Benson's handling of the rm program. A separate group asked, the Senate to formally declare Its support for renewal of the international wheat agreement that expires July 31. State Reformatory Inmate Escapes . PENDLETON, Ind.

Former Logansport Official On Trial LOGANSPORT, Ind. (UPDCecil M. Layman, 37, former bookkeeper and cashier for the Logansport municipal utilities, was accused at his embezzlement trial Wednesday of depositing more than $21,000 in his personal bank account at a time when city, funds were short. Forrest Zehring, a Kokomo banker, gave the testimony on a charge that Layman embezzled $940 last April. Layman is accused in several embezzlement counts ot taking $5,857, a fraction of a shortage in his books which the State Board of, Accounts placed at $73,839. Mrs. Thelma Stonger, teller at the same bank, testified to conversations she had with Layman when he went to the bank to make deposits. She said she presumed Layman was a traveling auditor who went from city to city, because he usually gave a different address, always outside Logansport. Despite defense objections; the state admitted a 20-page statement which Layman supposedly made to authorities last October after his arrest, in which he admitted depositing thousands of dollars in his personal checking account. 0 But the statement said $12,000 of it was proceeds from whisky sales he made while serving in a medical unit in the Navy before 1946. He said he had kept the money hidden in a cabinet in his home until he deposited it last year. Fort Wayne Church Destroyed By Fire FORT WAYNE, Ind.
