Lehman, publisher of the Berne Witness, was elected a director of the Hoosier State Press Association at the 25th anniversary Silver meeting in Indianapolis Friday; Mr. Lehman, whose newspaper was a charter member of the association, is a fine, upstanding citizen of this county,*and will do an, outstanding job as a member of the board. Os greatest interest to the women who attended the two-day meeting at the Marott Hotel in Indianapolis was the speech by Ann Landers, whose column appears in 267 newspapers in the tl. S. 'Hie very beautiful and petite Miss Landers, who is actually Mrs. Jules Lederer, wife t of the president of the Autopoint Company, gaye a most interesting account of her work, which requires six full-time assistants and work seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day, to answer all the letters. Her postage bill averages $2,000 a month! Miss Landers, who appears to be about 20, but who has a 19 year old daughter, told how this modern age is producing a generation of vidiots—a voiceless generation devoted to TV. Children used to be afraid of the dark—now they are afraid of the light, she remarked. Most serious of the speakers was Merriman Smith, UPI correspondent who has covered the White House, and the three presidents in it, since 1941. He pointed up the seriousness of the opening of the baseball season by stating that President Eisenhower would be unable to throw out the first ball because he would be in Georgia, “ but that vice-president Nixon, would fly back from his vacation in Florida to throw it out. Smith stated that he felt at the present time that Nixon would definitely be the Republican’s nominee in 1960, and that Adlai Stevenson was the best bet for the Democrats. He added that in foreign affairs the United States may expect to live in a period of tension for many years, but that a “hot” war was not expected by the state department experts. With Secretary of State Dulles ill, and not expected to be able to take over in his former capacity, Prime Minister MacMillan of Great Britain has now become the West’s spokesman against Russia, With the Eisenhower-Nixon-Dulles combination taking a back seat. Smith also stated that Eisenhower might attempt to send Nixon to a summit meeting in his place if his “official” duties kept him from attending the full session. If this happens, DeGaulle can be expected to walk out in disgust, as he will not deal with a man who is not chief of state. The group of newspapermen also toured the U. S. Naval Avionics Facility, Indianapolis. This is a plant, known by several other names formerly, that developed and produced the famous Norden bombsight during World War 11. They are now engaged in producing controls for both airplanes and rockets, and in firepower controls also. This was the largest group ever to tour the plant after hours, and the area was heavily guarded, with all secret work under cover. Most of the two-day session was spent in discussion of new and different ideas of value to newspapermen. But plenty of spare time was left to exchange private ideas, and /discuss local developments.

Decatur Men Attend I Church Conference Four Decatur men attended the central section of the Wabash River Presbytery’s national council of United Presbyterian men’s meeting in Ossian Sunday afternoon and evening. Royal Friend, Pete WarHeller represented the First Presner, Charles Morgan, and Jack Uyterian church of Decatur. A short business meeting was held in the sanctuary of the Ossian Presbyterian church, and then the men were divided into groups for talk-it-over sessions on topics of interest to the men’s organization on a local level. After these sessions, the men reported back to the sanctuary for reports from each group. A dinner and song fest were held in the basement of the church, and' then the group returned to the. sanctuary for the evening talk. The ' speaker was the Rev. Vernon Smith, from Holt, Mich. Rev. Smith took over a poorly supported church ten years ago, and in that time, has brought in over 800 new Rev. Smith urged the men to resume their rightful position in the church. He pointed out that most of the people called by God in the. Bible to lead people in spiritual affairs were men. He also mentioned that in the last 50 years, the men have been content to sit back and let the ladies’ organizations do the bulk of the church’s work. He urged men in all churches to worship regularly with their families, work in the church as officers and teachers, and win others to the church by their every day witness and by calling on people not affiliated with any church.

Lend A Neighbor A Helping Hand There are 1,000 families “out in the country” surrounding the city of Decatur—good rural folk, we hope—who daily do our trading in Decatur and are very much interested in Decatur, and its growth and progress. After all, we are a “part” °f Decatur. We have a personal feeling about the election regarding the sale of City Light. We all are hoping that our good neighbors in the city will vote to SELL CITY LIGHT. AU of us are concerned about what we believe to be high electric bills, not to mention the poor quality of our service with its low voltage and many inconveniences. __ According to the record, all of us in the country now pay an AVERAGE OF $43 more per year for electricity than we would if we were receiving electric service from Indiana & Michigan Electric Company. All of us—city folk and rural—are on the lookout for a bargain, and we feel that electric service from I&M would be a bargain. As farmers, our margin of profit is small enough as it is and, frankly, we could use an “extra” $43 a year when we come to Decatur to buy our supplies. Be a good neighbor and vote, please, to sell City Light. We’ll appreciate it. DECATUR’S COUNTRY COUSINS’
