City Agents Every American is familiar with the wonderful job that has been and is being done by the county agricultural agents operating from the land grant colleges of the various states. They have helped farmers develop from a relatively poor group to a group that today has every advantage of modern life. Now a new program is about to be piloted by Rutgers University in New Jersey with a $750,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. This program will set up an experimental urban extension program. Rutgers is the land-grant college in New Jersey. All ’ departments, including the agricultural extension service, will help in the pilot project. The urban research and extension center will have a full-time* staff with access to the research resources of all the university departments. Community needs will be surveyed and studied to help solve some of the broad problems developing from the increasing urbanization and suburbanization of American life. If the new “city agents” are even half as successful as the county agents have been in helping those with whom they work, the program will be beneficial to our nation. Undoubtedly the leaders of our state will be watching closely as the Rutgers experiment develops. •’• • • The Swimming Pool Hot, sunny days this summer have filled the Decatur swimming pool to overflowing. One of the few pools in the state operated by the city at no cost to the youngsters, it has been one of the community’s greatest assets in providing healthful recreation for young and old alike. It is too bad that more of the young people of Decatur do not know how to swim and enjoy the pool to the fullest. Teaching a child to swim can be almost as important as teaching him to walk—if he ever needs it. But for good, healthful fun, swimming cannot be beaten. Even baseball pales besides swimming as a summer sport. .... With most Americans spending their spare time at ,the lakes, with more and more sport boats being purchased, swimming is rapidly becoming a live-saving necessity. No parent would want his son or daughter out in a fast speedboat unless he or she knew how to swim. And it’s much easier to teach a young child to swim than it is to teach a young adult. No Red Cross swimming instructor has been available in Decatur for some time. Anyone interested in learning how to instruct, and imparting their knowledge of swimming to others, should inquire at the Red Cross office to find out how to become a swimming instructor.

Allen County Amish Build New School Amish residents of Springfield township, Allen county, are building a new school for their children, which they plan to begin using this fall. Foundation work has been completed for the building, which will have a basement room and a first floor room. However, they have not contacted the state fire marshal or the state board of health for approval of the building, said Jacob Graber, acting as spokesman for the group. Children from Harlan school and Leo school will attend the new school, he said, adding that only seventh and eighth garders will attend the school the first year, but eventually that younger children will attend. Graber said that their Amish group wants a good teacher, and that the county superintendent's office has agreed to help them find one. Allen county superintendent’s office said Wednesday that it will try to help the Amish find a good taecher, if the state superintendent of public instruction gives them permission to establish the school as a parochial school.

Manpower Waste In Armed Forces Hit WASHINGTON (UPI) — Congress focused attention today on complaints that officers are turning Gl’s into “dog-robbers.” In military slang, a “dog-rob-ber” is an officer’s servant. The term originates from the soldier’s feeling that the assignment may carry a social status one rung lower than that of the officer’s dog. A House armed services subcommittee which has been exploring the use of military manpower called on Asst. Defense Secretary Charles C. Finucane to testify today on the assignment of enlisted men as servants. Finucane was certain to face thorough questioning from Rep. Frank Kowalski iD-Conn.), a retired Army colonel who is Congress’ most severe critic of the alleged waste of manpower by the armed forces. Kowalski predicted in advance of Finucane’s testimony that the Defense Department would take the line that the number of enlisted men assigned to chores has been exaggerated, i. The congressman said any Penta gob statistics probably would be “like an iceberg,” and would fail to give the true picture. “I’m sure any figures we get you can multiply by two or three,” he told a reporter. Kowalski, a West Pointer who spent 33 years in uniform, tojfi the subcommittee when ft launched its study May 12 that it might be possible to save as much as 250 million dollars a year if manpower weren’t squandered on tasks such as walking dogs and baby-sitting for generals. Kowalski at that time cited a Defense Department report this spring which showed that at least 20,000 enlised men are assigned as stewards, orderlies, messboy, chauffeur and the like. He argued that young men shouldn’t be drafted into' uniform for that kind of work. _ I Veterans Os Foreign Wars Meet Monday Monday evening at 8 o’clock, the Veterans of Foreign Wars wSI meet at the post home. In the business meeting, plans will be discussed for the fourth district meeting, and the post family picnic. Members are to attend the post meetings, Mrs. Raymond Bollard, publicity chairman has said, to help plan and operate the post projects and activities. VFW meetings are the firlt and third Mondays of each month. Portland School Superintendent Dies Donald S. Weller, 64, superintendent of the Portland city schools since 1940, died at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday in the Jay county hospital, two hours after suffering a heart attack. He had been in the Portland school system since 1920. Surviving are the widow; two daughters, three grandchildren, a sister and a brother. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. The body was removed to the Baird funeral home at Portland.

Reluctant For TV Appearances By Ike WASHINGTON (UPD — Backstairs at the White House: Twice in recent weeks, there were highly knowledgeable stories advanced by ordinarily wellinformed administration figures that President Eisenhower was about to take to the air waves in the imediate future to discuss certain aspects of his program in Congress. The sources for these stories seemed so rock - solid that their information had to have originated tn the White House, and possibly with the President, himself. In both cases, however, the reports drew blank stares from the White House press office, even denials that such plans were pending. What happened seemed to be this: The President has discussed going directly to the public via radio and television concerning legislative stalemates. Apparently some of his conferees have left the White House convinced that plans were set. There is, however, a certain reluctance within the President’s circle of staff advisers to have him undertake full - length TV appearances too frequently. This school of thought reasons that he's getting plenty of television exposure as it is through the film clips of his news conferences. At this critical stage of Congress, these rarely miss a week. There's another aspect in planning nationwide appearances by the President as related to his legislative program. This session of Congress still has a month or more to run and conceivably the President two or three weeks hence might find the legislative situation much more pressing than now. Thus, he would not want to have to make several speeches fairly close together. Even the big entertainment stars know that this can produce declining audience response. Other factors far and beyond the Congress could create the need for the President’s voice and face over the air — the Geneva conference and the steel situation, to name two. Therefore, the President might have to keep his TV powder dry for the larger battles. The President’s Air Force aide, Col. William G. Draper, recently flew Secretary of State Christian A. Herter to Geneva in one of the three new jet transport planes provided by the Defense Department for top oficial travel. Draper told friends that after handling the big jet, flying the conventional Columbine 111 was like “flying a toy.” Draper and the Columbine crew are thoroughly checked out in handling the new transports. If the aircraft themselves have been tested sufficiently to haul Herter across the ocean, can the President be far behind? o —-—* 20 Years Ago Today — _ O July 16, 1939 was Sunday and no paper was published.

Leo Yager Observes 94th Birthday Today Leo Yager, well-known semi-re-tired Decatur businessman, celebrated his 94th birthday quietly today at his home at 246 South Second street. Although Yager was born in Tiffin, 0., on July 17, 1865, the year that the Civil War ended and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, his family moved to Decatur that fall, and Decatur is the only 1 home he remembers. The Decatur man was a lad bf 12 years when the wooden-structure main section of Decatur burned out in 1877. Leopold Yager, his.father, rebuilt his furniture store in brick where Gamble’s store is now located. The father had been born in Baden, Germany, and came to the U.S. from Le Havre, France, in a wooden sailboat. The mother died in 1872, but all the children, John, Anna, Leo, Herman and Leopold, were born in this country, the first three at Tiffin, 0., and the younger two in Decatur. None married, and only Leo survives. Leo Yager went to work for his father after completing a year of high school. During Cleveland’s first administration he was deputy postmaster under Norval Blackburn. Then he managed a branch of his father’s store in Willshire, O. He then opened a drug store with his brother, Leopold, where Sutton’s Jewelry Store is now located, and later became a partner with Ben Smith. In the building where the Why Store was formerly located his drug business continued as Smith. Yager, and Falk until 1920, when Smith died. Yager has maintained his license as a druggist ever since, and is still listed as assistant pharmacist at Holthouse drug store. For 14 years he sold drug specialties on the road. In 1917 he was elected to the board of the Citizens Telephone company, and in 1920 he was elected president. He is still chairman of the board of directors. Yager has lived quietly in his home since his brothers and sister died, and has maintained a continued interest in the Decatur community. Child Killed When Struck By Auto SEYMOUR, Ind.
