I I I i ■ _______ ; , Blood Program Announced Mrs. Cletus Miller, new county chairman of the Cross blood program, has announced that Mrs. Lee Fleming will head the canteen committee for the blood program this year, and that Mrs. Harold Engle will head the staff of aides, which includes Mrs. Earl Fuhrman, Mrs. Clarence Smith, and Mrs. Louis Zwick. The ladies of the staff aid committee are the ones who do the calling to make appointments for blood donors. At least 180 donors must be scheduled for Adams county to meet its quota of 125 pints of blood. One of the problems of the phone committee have* been those well-meaning people, who, rather, than say no, tell the schedulers that they will walk in, and are scheduled as walk-ins. A very large number of these people never show up. In fact, several who say that they will walk in every time have never shown up! The Red Cross blood program makes this precious life-saver available to every county resident at about $25 less than the cost of a purchased transfusion at a place where Red Cross blood is not available. Blood is kept on hand at the Adams county memorial hospital at all times, and if a large quantity or special type is needed, it is rushed from the Fort Wayne blood bank - . Countless lives during operations, after wrecks, during the birth of babies, or following factory injuries, have been saved by the Red Cross blood program. If you are between 18 and 50, and desire to give blood* or to find out more about the program, why not call at the Red Cross office during the day? If you have some qualms about the program, the bloodmobile will be in Decatur September 1, a Tuesday. Visit the community center, and see the program in action. Numerous men and women give regularly. Mark September 1, Tuesday, on yoqr calendar, and* | remember — if you are scheduled to give blood on that ■ day, be there on time, or if planning to walk in, be there ■ as early as you can. It is very possible that the life you save by giving blood may be your own' r ~ .

On the Dot MOSCOW (UPD—An exact “clock” that is not expected to skip a second in hundreds of years has been developed at the USSR Academy of Sciences, according to the newspaper, “Izvestia.” The inventors, Drs. N. G. Basov and A. M. Prokhorov, have been nominated for a Lenin prize. Their "clock” actually is a “molecular generator,” a device in*which ammonia molecules emit radio waves. As molecules never wear out, Izvestia noted, their “waves” are always accurate.

She squirmed around, getting a little closer to me. “Donald,” she said, "I was disloyal to my friend.” "What friend?” “Phyllis Crockett.” "How were you disloyal?" She hesitated and said, “Well, ' for one thing, her husband wanted me to participate in a scheme, . a plot." “What sort of a plot?" “I don’t know, but he had [ something all planned out.

100 Gas Permits To Decatur Area The recent Public Service Commission's approval of a Northern Indiana Public Service Co.’s petition for 2,000 additional gas space heating permits in the Fort Wayne area will give Decatur about 100 of the permits on the company's pro-rated scale, - according to M. J. Pryor, local gas company manager. Pryor also pointed out that about 450 local residents have filed applications for the new permits. Fort Wayne, New Haven, Roanoke, South Whitley, Columbia City, Ossian, Bluffton, and adjacent rural communities are also receiving a share of the 2,000 permits allocated. NIPSCO’s Hale avenue plant in Fort Wayne was recently revamped and expanded, providing the area with the increase of the gas space heating requirements, according to Pryor. The cost, he said, was more than $220,000. In the Fort Wayne area, more than 5,200 applications have been received for the 2,000 permits. Pryor said that his applicants will be served on a first-on-the-list basis. He added that this will bring the firm one step closer in fulfilling the gas requirements of everyone in the Fort Wayne area, especially Decatur. Krushchev Visit Brings Comments WASHINGTON (UPD — Vice President Richard M. Nixon believes the Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks here may provide the President with an opportunity to explore the possibilities of solving some cold war problems. m Such solution. Nixon declared, “might be developed at a later point” when U.S. Allies were represented. But he cautioned in a televisionradio interview Sunday that the exchange of visits was no sign that the Russian line has softened or shifted. The scheduled visit to the United States by Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev next month provoked other new comments Sunday. —Rep. Stuyvesant Wainwright Wainwright (R-N.Y.), who is supporting New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller for the 1960 Republican presidential nomination, said Nixon’s political future may hinge on the outcome of the Khrushchev visit. —Sen. Mike Mansfield (DMont.) said he was “skeptical” about what could be achieved during the premier’s visit and was “worried .. . about this matter of security as far as (Khrushchev) is concerned.” He said the visit put the President and Nixon “on the spot.” —Sen. Thruston B. Morton (RKy.), chairman of the Republican National Committee, said it would be better if Congress were not in session during the Khrushchev visit “because the Congress is quite a forum, quite a sounding board, and our system is not understood throughout the world.” -Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) said that if the natoinal interest would be served by inviting Khrushchev to address the Senate and House “that’s all right with me ... I don’t think for one minute that the American people are going to be taken in by Mr. Khrushchev.”
