Seltenright, county agent, and Miss Lois Folk, county home dernonstration agent. Miss Folk said today that Linda Gould, a junior at Purdue, and an apprentice home agent, will train at the local county office during June, July and August, and will help in supervising 4-H girls and club projects.

After completing her ■ training in Adams county during the summer months, she will re- • turn to Putdue college to enter her ’ junior year of school working toward her home ec major. Miss Gould 1 makes her home in Lafayette. Leo Seltenright, county agent, said today that another Purdue student, Marvey Sponhauer, will also receive training in Adams county during the summer. Sponhauer. also a junior at Purdue university, . will assist Seltenright in 4-H work and projects, and will be the county boys 4-H club leader while in Decatur.

Additional Water Needed At Bluffton Bluffton’s city council has approved a $2,700 expansion plan for the city’s utility office, and has heard a report that Bluffton needs more water capacity. At its meeting, the city council approved the program, which it had tabled two weeks ago. Under the expansion plan, the utilities office entrance it to be moved, and two pay windows installed directly off the lobby of ft# Bluffton community building. Jr stairway is to be built from the utilities office to the second floor, taking up a section of the small auditorium of the building. In the discussion that preceded the council's approval, the council challenged the remodeling, particulary the changes in the small auditorium. 1 Bluffton needs more water capacity, Nelson Edington, city superintendent of tilities, reported. He said that the damage to equipment at the city water utility points up that need, and that the city is “mandated!’ by the state to find a new source of water supply. A motor on a pump exploded during a recent electrical storm, and is now being repaired for about SBOO. The pump motor will work from a 220-volt line instead of the 2,400-volt circuit is was using before it blew out. The department is also “motorizing” a new pump for emergency uses, which will cost from $350 to S4OO, the superintendent said. The utilities office is also making a study of the Bluffton water rates, which are lower, he said, than those of any other community in Indiana. No community has a rate less than two and one-half times that of Bluffton’s rate, he pointed out. Mapping Plans For Anti-Smoke Drive BOSTON (UPD—The American Cancer Society began mapping plans today for an intensive anti smoking campaign with particular emphasis on teen-agers. In New York, Timothy V. Har-< nett, chairman of the Tobacco ■ Industry Research Committee, ‘labeled the campaign a “oneI sided propaganda effort.” The campaign, approved Thurs day by the society's board of directors, will be designed to “bring to th.e attention of physicians and the public—and particu- 1 larly teen-agers—facts about can-1 cer and smoking.” Dr. Howard C. Taylor, chair * man of the society's special com ! mittee on tabacco and cancer' said a committee of statisticians' social scientists and communica- 1 tion specialist would handle the campagn which he called “a to-j tai educational effort.” I The society’s staff has been di- i rected to prepare plans and esti-1 mate costs for the program, aimed at “modification of the smoking habit in a community,” Taylor said. The staff, Taylor said, also will prepare studies of smokers and non-smokers and “those physiological, psychological and sociall factors responsible for the initia- ■ tion, continuation and cessaton of' smokng.” Hartnett sad in New York that clinical and laboratory research has failed to support the cancer society's views on lung cancer. For example, he said, numerous experiments in which animals have been forced to inhale large amounts of tobacco smoke have consistently failed to cause lung cancer. East German Group Will Meet Nikita GENEVA <UPDAn East German delegation headed by Communist Party boss Walter Ulbricht meets Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Moscow Monday when Khrushchev may make his final decision on Germany and Berlin. There was immediate speculation he would' discuss with the East Germans the signing of a separate peace treaty that would seal the division of Germany and possibly wreck or delay indefinitely the foreign ministers conference here. The East German press office announced the 18-man delegation to Moscow included Ulbricht, Premier Otto Grotewohl, East Berlin Mayor Friedrich Ebert, Ambassador to Russia Johannes Koening, and Deputy Premiers B r Uno Leuschner, Hans Loch and Paul Scholz. The Communist announcement called the trip a “friendship visit” and said Khrushchev invited the East Germans to Moscow in May but that the trip was postponed because of Khrushchev’s trip to Albania. Khrushchev was conferring with Hungarian leaders in Budapest today wyile en route home. But no one here was missing the timing of the Red little summit meeting. Western officials felt something was afoot that might have an important bearing on the ultimate Soviet stand at the fourpower conference here. The Russians already have accomplished a lot for the East German satellites at this meeting.

The People’s Voice This column la for the use of our reader* who wi»h to make suggestion* tor the general good or diacußs question* of , Interest. No article* will be | published without signature of I , the author. , * o ■ Only 2 Pony Teams? Why only 2 Pony League teams . for the city of Decatur? This ques- . tion I would like to have answered j and I know so would many other , parents of 13 & 14 year-old sons. Before my son was old enough > to play in Pony League it wasn’t , a problem for me even if other - people made remarks such as > "Why only 2 Pony Teams for a city our size?” Now I too can make I such a remark. I Other cities our size sponsor at • lehst 4 teams and some sponsor • six teams. Is this making Decatur greater? • To make Decatur greater we - must start with young citizens of 5 this age and give them something 1 to occupy their time. What would • be better than a good clean sport 5 with a lot of wholesome fun. ' My son didn’t make the team last year but his remark was, “I’ll 1 have another year to try and make > it.” He left here on Saturday right i after dinner with high hopes, but came home around 3 p.m. a de- ; jected 14-year-old. Why? For one ’ reason—too many boys for 2 teams and someone had to be turned out. ‘ I have tried to bring our son up in the Christian way of life as well as many other parents have their sons, but it’s hard to keep a 14-year-old occupied all summer. If , any make mistakes and get into trouble instead of trying to lift them up and give them a new start there are many that will go out of their way to knock them down farther. Every so often there is a kickoff breakfast with a certain idea in mind or a noon day-luncheon for another idea or a big dinner for some politician. If the people invited are interested enough to attend these functions, then they surely are interested enough to attend without filling their stomachs. The grocery bill money could be used to give young Decatur citizens a new outlook on life. Stop and think. Decatur citizens, what does Decatur offer our teenagers? Not enough money to pay for suits for at least 2 more Pony teams? Let’s reduce our waistline as well as juvenile delinquency by taking inches off and putting 2 more 'teams on the field. Decatur can I be greater by good clean sport and J recreation for our teen-age citizens ' and I dare you to say I’m wrong. Mrs. Theola Poling l Sincerely, i 1246 Master Drive. • Fear Laos May Be Next Red Target TOKYO (UPD — A series of Communist propaganda charges touched off fears /today that the tiny kingdom of Laos in one-time French Indo-China may be the •' next Red target in Asia. Daily broadcasts from Hanoi, ' capital of Communist north Viet Nam, and from Radio Peiping, warn that the two Red nations “cannot remain indifferent” to the situation in Laos. The Communists made it clear they do not like the pro-Western attitude of the government of Premier Phoui Sananikone and that they fear the United States will establish military bases there. The fear wal so great that So-' viet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was meeting British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd in Geneva for the second straight day to discuss the situation. The Communists have called for the revival of the now defunct international supervisory commission for Laos. Britain and Russia were co-chairman of the IndoChina conference which arranged a Laos settlement in Geneva in 1954. I Laos is tiny, only 86,000 square miles, but it has importance far out of proportion to its size. It is virtually in the center of southeast Asia. Its borders touch Red China, Burma, North Viet Nam, South Viet Nam, Thailand and Cambodia. It has a 620-mile frontier with Red China and North Viet Nam. They got them into the conference chamber through the back door and they got them seated— though at separate tables—with the Western foreign ministers. But they failed to gain Western recognition of the regime. Moscow was considered likely to tell the East Germans this was the limit at the present. Steel Negotiators Meet Again Today NEW YORK (UPD—Steel wage negotiators met today amid signs of tension in an effort to break a contract deadlock. Negotiators for the Steelworkers Union are under orders from the union’s International Executive Board to “serve notice” on the industry team to get down to seri-

To Investigate Armed Conflict In Nicaragua /WASHINGTON (UPD-o-A fournation committee began an investigation today to determine wheth-ej“--the armed conflict in Nicaragua threatens the peace of the hemisphere. The committee, composed of representatives of the United States. Brazil, Mexico and Uruguay, was appointed Thursday night after the Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) voted to look into the situation. „ . _ By a vote of 17 to 2, the OAS Council approved Nicaragua's request for the inquiry into the airborne invasion launched against her territory during the week end, allegedly from Costa Rica. Venezuela and Cuba voted against the proposal. Bolivia was absent and Nicaragua, as the party involved, was not eligibel to vote. Eleven votes were necessary for approval. The special committee, headed by Uruguayan Ambassador Julio A. Lacarte, was directed to gather information to determine what further measures should be taken by the council. Sources said the four - man group probably would go to Nicaragua, possibly today. The committee planned a morning meeting at the Pan American Union here. The council's decision to authorize the inquiry followed hours of heated debate Thursday during which Nicaraguan Ambassador Guillermo Sevilla - Sacasa said there might be a "blood bath” in Central America. Sevilla - Sacasa said invading planes from Costa Rica were filled with rebels of several nationalities. He said that unless the council acted, Nicaragua might have to launch military operations. Cuba and Venezuela, in opposing the OAS intervention, argued that the majority of the rebels were Nicaraguan and that the affair was strictly an internal matter of that country. Says Nicaraguan Invasion Inspired MANAGUA. Niaragua (UPD— President Luis Somoza said Thursday night this week’s airborne invasion of Nicaragua was a ‘‘crazy adventure” inspired by foreigners whose real target was the United States. “There is a...force growing every day, completely directed by people like (Costa Rican ex-Pres Ident Jose) Figueras, the peopi of Venezuela and the people of Cuba, which is directly creating problems for the United States in the (Western) hemisphere,” Somoza told a press conference. “This time, we are its victims.’ Somoza said his government has the six-day-old invasion under control. He said that so far there have been six persons killedthree on each side—and four invaders captured in scattered fighting in Chontales and Matagalpa provinces. The president promised that he would suspend censorship of “bona fide foreign correspondents' ” cables and telephone calls. Within an hour, the cable office was accepting uncensored copy. The president said that, despite his current troubles he is determined to servd out his presidential term, which expires in 1963 He promised that his government will preserve democracy in this country. About 70 per cent of Managua's stores were open for business Thursday, although some of them opened only some entrances and left their lights Off. The government cancelled the import permits of eight large companies which remained closed —a serious penalty in a country which buys most of its goods abroad—and indicated that other permits will be cancelled soon.'

ous collective bargaining. The board, at a meeting Thursday, denounced the steel industry’s proposed one - year wage freeze and accused the industry of “an absolute unwillingness” to engage in “good faith collective bargaining.” Trade in a good town — Decatur.
