City Budgets r ■ Monday evening city councils throughout Indiana, after twice advertising the meeting, met and fixed the city tax rates for the coming year. These rates will be reviewed by the county tax adjustment board and the state tax commission, and the public may again object to them. City budgets and tax rates are not the easiest reading. But voters and taxpayers should beware of “election year gymnastics.’’ These are very common. What happens is this: the city tax rate is high for three years, and then is cut drastically and dramatically during the city election year. This can fool the voters into believing that the administration is being economical Instead of looking for election year cuts, look at the record for the administration’s entire term of office. See what the budgets have been. If it is evident that the administration is doing its best every year, not just in election years, to keep the tax rate down, then you have found an efficient and economyminded administration. Now for another kind of comparison. Decatur, Bluffton, and Portland are now maintaining their own electric utilities; Kendallville sold theirs a year or two ago. How do the civil city tax rates of these communities compare? Here are the rates as fixed Monday: Portland—s 2.44 Bluffton—sl.9B Kendallville—sl.2l Decatur—sl.46 Portland generates all of its power; Bluffton generates most of its power, but occasionally purchases; Decatur purchases a large part of its power. Kendallville sold its power plant, and used the money to pay off bonded debts on which the people were paying taxes, used part to build a sewage disposal system, rather than using sewage disposal rates to pay off the cost, and also put part of it into building an airport. The present Decatur city administration is doing the best job it can, under the limitations placed upon it by the voters themselves. Apparently more and more of the voting population is realizing every day that the mayor and council were absolutely right when they told the people that the sale of the electric utility would do more to help the city than anything else that can be done right now. When the city electric utility was built, and for many years, it served admirably and well, and was even profitable. But as electric use grew and grew, the small utility could no longer keep up. The building of the diesel plant was the final death knell for locally generated power here—it can be purchased so much cheaper than it can be generated that it is foolish to use the diesel for anything except emergency standby. . . Many improvements are needed in the local plant —new and modern lines to carry the power load to every user that the users now demand; sources of power” that guarantee electricity all the time. The city of Decatur cannot afford to borrow and borrow and borrow, paying interest back that exceeds the amount borrowed, just so that we can say we own our electric plant.

Central Soya President Reviews 25 Years At Civic Luncheon

Dale W. McMillen, Jr., President of the Central Soya company, Inc., Fort Wayne .Indiana, reviewed 25 years of Central Soya progress before a press and civic luncheon here today on the occasion of the 25th anniversary “open house” celebration of the founding of the company. He compared today’s expanding organization with the small company that was founded on October 2. 1934, by his father, Dale W. McMillen. “Operations were begun in the heart of the depression.” McMillen said, “in buildings and land leased from the Central Sugar company. Our first equipment consisted of six expellers for producing meal and oil from Soybeans and a single bulk storage building with a capacity of 430,000 bushels.” "In 1934,” he recalled, the soybean industry was barely beginning. Total production of soybeans had reached only 23.2 million bushels. .. and soybeans processing was still a struggling new industry.” In the past 25 years Central Soya has continued the growth that was begun in the company’s first year, when it grew from a beginning work force of nine until, “by the end of the first year of operation, 67 employes were on the payroll and the $125,000 of capital invested in equipment and other facilities had resulted in the production and sale of $1,247,000 worth of Central Soya and Master Mix (feed) production.” “This year,” McMillen said, *'•. our people number approximately 2.700 and our company’s 1959 sales will be about S2BO million.” McMillen pointed out that today. “25 years after construction was first started’at Decatur of the company’s fir. s t manufacturing plant, our company is. . . operating soybean processing plants in six different locations, has seven feed manufacturing locations and operates a grain merchandising business using approximately 43 million bushels of storage.” “At Decatur alone, where there was a single bulk storage building with only 430,000 bushels capacity in 1934, there are now 134 silos that can hold nearly 14 million bushels of soybeans and grain.” "Central Soya is in the 'transportatiqn business, operating 78 tractors and trucks and 135 trailers, ... and over 100 barges on the Inland Waterway System,” McMillen said.

CHAPTER 29 *4 V THAT did you tell Donald *V about Mortimer Jasper?” Sergeant Frank Sellers naked Sylvia Hadley. "I didn’t tell him a thing!** she blazed. "And if he told you anything about Mortimer, ha . . he's lying, he’s—" “Take it easy,*- Sellers said. “What about Mortimer Jasper T** “Nothing about him." “What’s your connection with him?” *1 don’t have any." "You know him?” “1... Tve met him.” "And you didn’t ten Donald Lam anything about him?” "I did not!” she blazed. "1 don’t know what he told you, but whatever it was, it’s a lie.” Sellers settled himself in a chair, crossed his ankles in front of him, pulled out a cigar. “What do you know, what do you know," he said in a tone of intense selfsatisfaction. It was the voice of » man who has just been advised he's won the Irish Sweepstakes. He bit off the end of the cigar, spat it out od the worn, thread: bare carpet of Sylvia's apartment, struck a match, held it to the cigar, puffed it a couple of times, said again, “What do you know?” **l don’* like cigars,” Sylvia Hadley snapped. Seilers might have had putty tn his ears for all the attention he paid to that remark. He took a couple of deep, contented puffs, grinned across at Inspector Thad Giddings and said, "We’re in the money now." Giddings raised his eyebrows at Sellers. Sellers nodded, turned to Sylvia and said, "You do know this Mortimer Jasper?" "I ten you Fve met him, yes." "Been out with him ?” "I've been to dinner with him.” "Okay, then,” Sellers said, grinning, "what was the pitch? What did he want ? Why should be buy you a meal ?” "He ... he likes me, I think. It was a fatherly interest." “What do you know about Mortimer Jasper?” Giddings asked. “Vary little," she said. “How did you meet him?" "I’ve forgotten. 1 think I was Introduced to him at some gathering, probably something that Mr. Crockett put on.” •And that’s where you met Jasper?" “It may have been. I don't know. I can't remember.” "You don’t remember when you first met the guy ?"

“Master Mix livestock and poultry feeds are being distributed in 31 states with a sales force of 182 men. This compares with a force of only seven men who serviced the states of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan the company’s first year.” McMillen cited other evidence of the company’s growth, such as the extensive fepd research program located in Decatur. “As the feeding of livestock and poultry continues to become more scientific,” he said, “these research activities will continue to be expanded and will undoubtedly contribute much to the success of our future growth. ..” He noted the acquisition last fall of the Chemurgy Division, whose facilities were acquired from another company. “Most important to us in this acquisition,” McMillen observed, “are the people and facilities connected with the Chemurgy research and development program. We are confident that through expanded research and development, many new and useful (soybean) products will be brought on the market.” “We believe greatly in the future of our industry,” he said, “and of our place in it.” “.. .we of Central Soya and McMillen Feed Mills look forward to the next 25 years—a period filled, no doubt with many challenges and problems, but more importantly, filled with greater opportunities for those desirous of sound and fundamental progress in this great country of ours.” O 0 | Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE Q. Should a business woman rise to greet a man who enters her office, and she is already talking with someone else? A. This depends upon circumstances. If she is seated at her desk with others around her, she would be unlikely to rise, but would merely motion to an empty chair. If, however, all are seated casually, she could rise, shake hands, introduce him, motion him to a chair, and then reseat herself. Q. Is a bride supposed to write a note of thanks to someone who has given her a check as a gift, just as she does for all other presents? x A. Most certainly, and, if possible, she tells the donor just what she is going to do with the money.

“No." "How long ago?” "I can’t tell you that either." I "When wa< the time he took you out to dinner?" “Which time?” “Oh, was it more than once?” i "Yea.” “How many times?" "1 cant remember. Several.” “Well, well, well,” Sellers said. “We’re getting more and more chummy. Now, what does Mortimer Jasper do? What’s his line?” "He’s retired." "What does be have to occupy his mind? What keeps him from I going to seed mentally?” “I don’t know." "What did he talk about when he was with you?" “I couldn’t tell you that. We , discussed various things." . “Art?” "Yea He's interested in art.” "Jewelry?” "Well, he’s Interested in pre- > clous stones, but not so much I jewelry.” “Any particular branch of , art?” “No particular branch. He discussed the beautiful.” “He Included you tn that category?” Sellers asked. “He didn’t say so." "Did you ever give him any money ?” “No, of course not. Why should I give him money?” "Okay," Sellers said. “Did he ever give you any money?” She hesitated. “Remember," Sellers said, “we have ways of finding these things out We can get a subpoena on his bank account, and—" “He gave me a check for a thousand dollars.” “Well, what do you know," Sellers said, rubbing his hands. "We’re beginning to get places.” “No, you’re not,” she flared. “It was just a ... a loan.” “For what?" “I wanted some things. I wanted some clothes, and I wanted to got caught up on my car payments.” “What do you know,” Sellers said. “I wish you’d quit saying that over and over," she blazed. “Don’t you know anything else? You’re getting on my nerves.” Sellers grinned and said. "Now, look, Sylvia, you’re getting a little angry. Don't do that. You wouldn't want to do anything that would forfeit my friendship, would you?" "Why should 1 want the friend-1

ship of any dumb cop?” “In the first place, Fm not dumb. In the second place, you : get along very well with your friends. Here’s a guy that's old enough to be your father, you go ' out to dinner with him, you discuss art, you don’t have anything particularly in common, he isn’t interested in you as a woman . but only as a dining companion i who talks about art. You can’t remember when it was you met him or how you met him —just sort of a casual acquaintance — ' and the guy digs up a thousand bucks. Now. you take a girl that has friends like that can go a long ways." Sylvia turned toward me. "How does this guy fit into it?” she i asked. "Who?" Sellers asked. "Donald Lam here." "Well, we just took him along to keep him out of circulation for a while,” Sellers said. “You know, Donald gets into trouble if you let him run around loose.” She said, “If I thought Donald Lam was responsible for this, I’d ... Fd tell a lot more things.” “Well, well," Sellers said, "what do you know. What other things, Sylvia?" "I’ve said all Fm going to say.” “That’s what you think,” Sellers said. “What do you say, Thad?"

"Just a little ride.” “You can’t take me to headquarters and question me any old time you want to. I've got a date." "Ain’t that too bad," Sellers said. “Another guy gets stood up —well, that’s the way it goes.” Sylvia looked at me and said, “Somehow 1 have an Idea you’re tied up tn this. If you are, Donald Lam, Fm going to—” She stopped, but continued to look at me. "You’re going to what?’’ Sellers asked. “Nothing," she said. “I think this is worth looking into a lot further," Giddings said to Sellers. “So do I,” Sellers said. “I think we’re hitting pay dirt. Come on, Sylvia, get your coat" Donald has something up his sleeve that will explode tike a I bombshell. Continue the story I boro tomorrow.

Mosquito Protection If the face, hands, and other exposed parts of the body have received an application of a mixture consisting of one ounce glycerine, five drops of birchwood creosote, and five drops of eucalyptus, mosquitoes will shun you. The odor is very effective in preventing bites. Ordinary coal tar creosote should not be used. Clean File To make a good job of cleaning the grit from the teeth of your fingernail file, press a strip of adhesive tape firmly over the teeth of the file, then pull it loose. Repeat this a few times, if necessary. Cooling Drink Spiced iced tea is something different in a refreshing drink. Simply put four or five whole cloves into the pot in which the tea is brewing, and ice as usual.
