What Shall We Do? , b „‘ Chapter 58 of the acts of 1959, signed by Gov. • Handley last Saturday, authorizes cities to use funds derived from the sale of municipal utilities, such as the Ilecatur light plant, for improving other city services, such as sewers, water lines, etc. This clears the last legal block in the path of the sale, since it means that the funds can be used for practical things, when they are deemed necessary by the council. The sale of the city plant would mean a considerable amount of money to Decatur, if properly used. In the first place, it would pay off the $674,000 in bonds ' O on the diesel plant", which we now owe; moreover, it oj«would stop the constant trickle of thousands of dollars from the city in the 2’/i per cent interest which is paid v *2 teach year on these bonds. The entire remaining amount, $1,428,300 could be j** invested in government bonds at the prevailing 4% figure; this would net the city $57,132 each year—and the principal would be untouched, always ready for any real emergency. The interest of $57,132 could be used to reduce taxes 501/2 cents on the hundred dollah valuation! The amount received in taxes from Indiana-Michi-gan might be as low as the $39,000 which Kendallville 1 receives, or as high as the $60,000 which I&M estimates. ~ But this would certainly more than pay for the cost of electric street lighting, alley lights, metering Worthman field, etc.-- . ■**** ’ . ’ J';.'. -» ■ * If this is not done, city electric rates will have to be raised, the new improvements will mean a new bond issue at present high rates, increased taxes, increased • rates, and many other problems. Which path shall the . city take ? The election to decide this question will be .. April 14. . • S' .... -■ - -- .. -■■■■'■■ ■ ' . ——- Here And There Spring Opening of the Decatur stores will be this - .7 Saturday, and hundreds of bargains will be featured, - — as will new and unusual merchandise, and latest fashions. Ads in today’s paper feature many of these. The Model Store, opening today and tomorrow with completely new lines of merchandise in the old BlackweHsTocation, has been named to hahdel all Boy Scout clothing and equipment for Decatur. They will have *** their scout department open in a couple of weeks. Miller-Jones shoe store will hold its grand opening of the recently remodeled store this weekend. Several Decatur industries are planinng to rebuild largr facilities as soon as possible. Employment in both Decatur and Fort Wayne is on the increase, and prospects for the latter half of the year are now much brighter.

Top Sailors Admit Sea Lore Is Scant By FRANK ELEAZER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - Any year now we <or more likely the Russians) will be shooting a space man 221,000 miles up to the moon. Yet we 4 haven’t gotten around to sending anybody seven miles down into the deepest hole in the ocean. And we don’t seem in any hurry to do it. Man has been sailing since Noah. Yet here were some of our top sailors admitting to a House Merchant Marine subcommittee they know “very little” about the seas that cover two-thirds of our earth. i, Subcommittee members were shocked at the news, and not too hopeful on what they could do about it. Warning Prompts Probe “You can get billions of dollars to explore (Alter stace," moanad Chairman George P. Miller <DCalif.). “But we’U have a hard; time getting millions to explore our own Oceans.” What prompted Miller's peering into the depths was a recent warning from the National Academy of Sciences. The scientists said with missile subs and the like the seas now are more crucial than space in safeguarding our country. National survival may hinge on what we don’t know, aibouitouroceans. al survival may hinge on what we don't know about our oceans, they said.

water with certain knowledge just where they are. Nor can we count on spotting an enemy’s subs. Vice Adm. A. C. Richmond, commandant of the Coast Guard and C. R. Denison, research chief for the Maritime Administration, confirmed the worst of what the scientists said. “We know very little about the sea,” Richmond told the subcommittee. "What we do know is most superficial.” “We must depend for basic research on other agencies,” said Denison. “And >hen we go to them for information, often it isn’t there. ” --—--- . Russians May Be Ahead Miller hinted darkly that the Russians, already boasting a lead in space, may also be pulling ahead under the sea. He produced, from the Library of Congress, six volumes on ocean research which he said were published in Russia in the past half dozen years. AH were in Russian. HeF didn't ; know what they said. Miller is a member also of the House Space Committee, which has, been drawing good crowds to its hearings in the big House caucus room. The Merchant Marine > subcommittee met in the smallest hearing room in the House Office ’• Building. But it was no problem at all getting a seat. “Shooting off into space is exciting,” said Miller, sadly. “Nobody seems to care much about what they can’t see under the ocean.” 20 Years Ago Today O — —-— r March 12, 1939 was Sunday and no paper was published.

This can be purchased at any department store i and the directions are not difficult , to follow. It will mend in places where a darn would be disastrous. Hams Large hams, after they have been cut, are often inclined to mold. To prevent this, spread lard over the cut portions and put away as usual. Then, when you cut another slice the meat will be fresh as ever. New Blankets When choosing new blankets, select those with a thick nap, fluffy, and closely woven, as they hold the air in their meshes and are warm. | Modern Etiquette ? T By ROBERTA LEE 0- i r Q. After a recent promotion in my company, I received a number of congratulatory letters and telegrams. Am I supposed to acknowledge these? A. You received these letters and telegrams from persons who like you. If you want to keep them liking you, it would be a very good idea to acknowledge their expressions of good will, even if your notes are brief, such as, “Thank you very much for your kind wishes.” Q. Is the pre-proposal talk with the father of the girl now an obligation of a youn man? A. No: this went out of long ago. However, after the couple has decided to marry, the first persons they must tell are their parents—usually the girl’s parents first, then the man’s.

County Agent's / Column / O " ’ ~° Warning On Seed Seed treated with mercury compounds such as those used for treating wheat, is poisonous. Such treated seed should not be used for food nor should it be fed to livestock, says Eric Sharvelle, Purdue University extension plant pathologist. Treated seed also is subject to seizure by the food and drug administration when sold for feed or food in innerstate commerce. Treated seed can be held over and planted the following year, Sharvelle explains. Seed that has been properly cured and dried before treatment can be stored for a year with little loss of germination. Store treated seed grain in loosely woven sacks that are clearly marked as containing treated seed, the plant specialist suggests. Allow plenty of space for air circulation around sacks of treated grain. Store grain in a cool dry place. It always is advisable to run a' germination test on all seed just before planting. Then if the germination has dropped for any reason, any necessary adjustment can be made in the seeding rate to assure a good stand, Sharvelle points out. Low Cost Nitrogen You can get low cost nitrogen for your corn crop next year by seeding sweet clover with your oats this spring. Six-year tests conducted by R. R. Mulvey, Purdue University agronomist, showed that corn yields ■ following the sweet clover intercrop exceeded that of corn after' continuous corn by 42 bushels an' acre. No additional nitrogen was ' plowed down in either case. •. ' • - '' ' . 4 For the same years, 80 pounds of nitrogen plowed down annually * with the corn stalks gave a 36bushel average increase of corn. In years when the moisture supply was short, the sweet clover sod showed its greatest contrast in yielding ability over commercial nitrogen. However, sweet clover is subject to® weevil attack. Vigorous alfalfa varieties, like the non-har-dy common from the southern states, can be substituted for sweet clover and are superior to red clover in nitrogen gathering power. Oats varieties, such as New-i loft,: CJintland, Minhafer, Bentland, and Sitnam, widely available as' certified seed in Indiana, stand i the best and give the legume seedings greatest opportunity to survive.
