10 Weekend Traffic Deaths In Indiana United Press International x Indiana's weekend traffic death toll was held to 10 despite a fourdeath feiry crash in Spencer County where heavy traffic was concentrated during a Lincoln Sesquicentennial celebration. It was the second weekend in a row marred by multiple-death col listens. Six persons were killed near Shelbyville in the previous weekend in a two-car head-on crash. The latest wreck occurred in Sunday's early hours at Fulda on Ind. 545, within,a few miles of Lincoln State Park, where weekend observances recalling Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood in that area brought thousands of visitors and created mammoth traffic jams. Dead were Raymond Schulthies. 21, his sister, Virginia, 20, and Jerry Goffinett Jr., 15, all of Fulda, and Ruth Hartwick, 15, Evansville. Spencer County authorities said the accident occurred when the car driven by Schulthies, went oqt of control, smashed into a tree, caromed into a parked car and burst into flame.

Library's Book Parade Will Open Here June 1

A lot of people like parades, but the one being instituted by the Decatur public library should cop all prizes for duration. A summerlong "parade” will be sponsored by the local book-lending institution, starting June 1. What it actually will be, however, is a "Book Parade,” the heme for the special reading program for schoolage children in Decatur and surrounding towns. Although most of the children participating will be in grades l-S, inclusive, tots in kindergarten and the older Ones, including high schoolers, will be welcomed to earn their "diplomas.” Diploma For 10 Books For every child who reads 10 or more books this summer, a diploma will be presented in special ceremonies late this summer. And the grade in each of the city's three elementary schools that amasses the largest total number of books read, will be presented with a 4-foot long banner which can be displayed in their class room for the 1959-60 school year. Miss Bertha Heller. Decatur librarian, said today that the teachers at Lincoln, Northwest and St. Joseph's elementary school have been notified of the program, and will assist in promoting the plan. Teachers will endorse summer reading by pointing out the advantages of vicarious travel via

20 Years Ago Today O — May 18, 1939—William J. Arcbold, 74, former public offieial and prominent Decatur manufacturer, J died at his home after an illness of , several months. I The Decatur high school has again been approved by the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools, an approval the school has held snce 1910. Building of a new siding track on the Pennsylvania railroad by the Central Sugar Co. was started today. Edwin Kauffman, deputy county recorder, enjoyed a mushroom hunt early today, bringing in 55 of the. edibles. j * I YfifWw IpEU Horse and Pony The Adams county Horse and Pony 4-H club met at Saddle Lake, May 14, as members brought their horses and ponies for a demonstration. Plans were also made for the showing of the [ animals at the 4-H fair. Karen Grice and Joy Deßolt I talked on the common color char- i acteristics of horses and ponies. I Ed Gerber and Kenny Secaur pre-! sided at the meetsing, while Phil; pledges. Cassie Strickler led the group singing. Roll call was answered with each member’s favorite horse show event. The next meeting will be at Saddle Lake, May 28, at 9 p. m. Up And At It The Blue Creek Up and At It 4-H club met May 12 at the Kim* sey school, with Ruth Ann Smalley and Connie Sipe giving a demonstration on salad making. Kathy Brunstrup presided. Barbara Wechter led the pledges, while Barbara Tinkham read Psalm 24 for devotions. Diana Raudenbush led the group in singing. The favorite color of each member was used in answering roll call. Pauline Ripley talked on “grooming and appearance” for the health and safety report. The recreation period was led by Miss Smalley.

the medium of books. An innovation in recording the number of books read is also being introduced this year. Miss Heller said that a picture of a parade on a cardboard sheet will serve as the recording system. The scoreboard wiß have blank Spaces to *be filled by paste-on "books.” After the Child reads a book, he will be given a "book stamp” to glue on the card. A gold star will be given for added decoration after five books have been read. Tots May Use Duress For those who may scoff at the idea of having children in kindergarten participate in this program, the idea is not as far fetched as it seems. While not all the youngsters in this grade read, many have older brothers and sisters who do. The little tykes get the older members of the family to read their book choices aloud, thus making the project a wholesome family enterprise. Parents are also initiated into the program by this devious, but stimulating method. Television and radio programs may suffer from this reading project, but considering all factors, not much will be lost on this account. By stimulating an interest in reading in Decaturs youngsters, the good habit of gaining knowledge, will more than outweigh the hours "lost” in television viewing.
