County Tax Rates The Adams county council met this week and pared eight cents from the proposed county tax rate. A check of area newspapers shows that this was as large a cut as was made around here this year by a county council in a rural county. But it also leaves us with the highest county rate in the area, $1.28. The rate is 41 cents higher than last year. Very few people realized how the state law fixing , a 25-cent maximum adjusted school levy, to be fixed as a county school tax rate, and then given out to the schools through a formula process, would affect tax rates. The inevitable happened. The schools, by the law * raising minimum salaries, were forced to raise teachers’ t salaries, and to keep practically the same rates. But the r counties were made the goats, in a sense, because every " county rate was forced up. t This meant that to keep approximately the same s rates as last year, county officials and commissioners had to reappraise their budgets and cut out any extras. The following was the result around here: County Council Cut County Rate < Adams 8c $1.28 t Blackford 8c 1.17 - 0 1 Fulton 5.1 c 47.5 c higher ’ Huntington 5c 1.17 Jay 1c 1.14 < Noble 2c 1.007 ] Wells 5c 1.25 t Whitley lc .98 :

PROCLAMATION E WHEREAS, the water conditioning industry has combined with modern science in a continuing program of research into the effects and acknowledged importance of water la our everyday living; and WHEREAS, the industry has proved through scientific methods and experimentation that definite and tremendously important advantages exist in the use of soft water in the home, in commercial business, and in industry; and WHERAS, today millions of families in the United States (or in Canada and the United States), including many in Decatur, benefit by the use of soft water in their home largely because of these important economic advantages; NOW, THEREFORE. I, ROBERT COLE, mayor of the city of Decatur in the state of Indiana, do hereby designate the week of September 12 to 20 as SOFT WATER WEEK in Decatur and call upon the citizens of Decatur to cooperate in the appropriate observance thereof. Dated this 12th day of September, A. D. 1959. ROBERT D. COLE, Mayor of Decatur

NOTES FROM ; AFTER THIRTY i "J ( By JACK HELLER J WHAT’S THE COLO* Decatur high school’s colors 1 have been purple and gold for < many years, but you can't tell 1 that by looking at their Booster I club tickets. A slight mistake was 1 made in the first line on the cards. 1 The first line states that the club ' was '’orangized” in 1956. Maybe < this means that everything was < squeezed out of them. 1 i SMASHING TACKLE < What the junior high football ] players lack in ability they more ] than make up for in enthusiasm. ] One ■’if the players overdid things j Tuesday evening. The boys were , running down to tackle a backfield ( man catching punts. One of the ( players tore down the field, cut < toward the back, and made crash- ( ing contact. The force of the im- ( pact was so great that it broke | something — and that something . was nolding the would-be-tacklers’ . pants up.’ The trousers headed the ground, and the player did the same thing. All interest in the tackle was forgotten — the main point was to get those pants back : up. While the back ran on down the field untackled, more important things were being taken care; > after all, a fellow can only give so much for his old alma mater. MODERN TRANSPORTATION The Dr. James Burk family got a lesson in modern transportation when they took their summer guest, Barbara Schmidt of Germany, to Chicago to get the plane home. The plane would leave Chicago and fly straight to Germany, non-stop, in a matter of hours. This shows how the world is shrinking. The Burks and their guest were on the north side of Chicago, and two hours before the plane left, they felt it was time to leave for the airport to insure making the plane on time. As luck would have it, they hit the heavy traffic. Just as the plane was warming up to leave, they made it to the airport, and managed to get Barbara aboard. The trip from the north side, a distance of 14 miles, had taken two hours. Maybe things haven’t shrunk as much as we think. WASHINGTON MERRYGROUND Ran into somewhat the saffe trouble as the Burks last summer in Washington. D.C. We arrived in the nation's capital on a Friday afternoon, and after freshening up, decided to look around a bit. Having lived in D.C. during the war, I wondered if I could still remember my way around. We hit the streets in the car about five till five. At five o’clock, half the rest of the population of the United States got out of their office jobs and onto the streets in their cars. It got to be hilarious. All the streets are made one way. and all the traffic routed out of town. All the government office workers want to get away for the weekend, and the police are most obliging. Nobody turns anywhere. You just get out. We got into Virginia and back into town and back out again three different times before I finally gave up. It all turned out all right. The boys wanted to see the airport more than anything else, and that’s where we ended up’ Across the river from Washington, about five miles away. Seems like us small town folks better stay away from the big cities. POOR MAN’S REMBRANDT The drive and ambition in an artist is a curious thing. Saw an example last night that was the ultimate. At the football game I kneeled near one of the yardline markers. Glancing at it, I saw, down in the right hand lower corner, the initials of the artist who had painted the large “40.” The old saying goes, “from humble beginnings . . . . ”

CLEAN SWEEP DOWN They really got things slicked up at the Central Soya plant last week for the Silver Anniversary. In fact, one place had the glass so clean that one of the employes is reported to have walked right through a large window. Anyway, we would like to congratulate the McMillen industry on their silver anniversary. The Soya has done a lot for Decatur, in dollars and cents, but their biggest contribution has been fa the calibre of people they have brought to Decatur. Every church in town has benefited by these folks in their congregations. Every service club and sorority is better off, and every civic project has prospered partly because of these good people and their interest. While the money any industry brings into a city is important, the type of people they bring is much more important. Decatur is fortunate in having a fine group of clean industries, and the people they have working for them, from the production line clear up to the managers, are interested in Decatur. So, to the Soya, and to all the other local industries, we extend out congratulations. Not for the payroll or the products as much as the wonderful people they’ve added to Decatur. SOME SCHOOL Anyone who is interested in schools should make it a point to visit the Penn school up near Mishawaka. This place is almost unbelievable. The Mishawaka schools got so crowded that they had to refuse students from one township, so the township built its own school. Hie school is so big that freshmen are given maps. It has a complete garage, including a hydraulic lift for cars, grease guns, and several motors to work on. The machine shop looks like a factory. Complete departments are set up for home economics and commerce. Besides a 3,200 seat gymnasium and a 1,200 seat auditorium, there is an Olympic size pool with stands built in for swimming meets. There are 51 classrooms in addition to the shops and athletic plant. They also have a pretty good football team.

40,000 Men Will Guard Khrushchev

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev will have nearly 40,000 guards during his tour of America. That is a U.S. official’s estimate of the total number of uniformed police, plainclothes detectives, troops and federal agenfts who will watch over the Russian leader at various stages of his crosscountry route. Never have more elaborate plans been laid to insure the safety of a foreign visitor. Aware that Khrushchev is anything but a popular figure in this country, U.S. officials are doing everything possible to eliminate any chance of an “incident" during his 13-day visit which begins Sept. 15. “If anything should happen to this man while he is on American soil, the consequences could be very ser i o u s,” explained one official. Three - Fold Role Security preparations began as soon as Knrushchev’s visit was announced last month. They are under the overall direction of the State Department’s office of security, a small but highly efficient organization that extends to distinguished foreign visitors the same kind of vigilant protection that the Secret Service gives to the president of the United States. “Our role is three-fold," a security office spokesman said. “First, we participate in planning the itinerary, and try—to eliminate any potentially dangerous situations. Second, we coordinate the efforts of local police departments, who provide most of the 'manpower and do most of the hard work or checking out places the premier will visit, etc. “Finall, if something goes wrong in spite of all our precautions, we provide the body.” What did he mean by that last macabre phrase —provide the body?. “I mean that there will always be one of our men on hand to use his own body as a screen if necessary to deflect any hostile gesture toward the visitor." Investigate All Cooks Before Khrushchev arrives, the police and security agents in each city will have: —Tested every elevator on which Khrushchev may ride. —lnvestigated all of the cooks, waiters and maids who may have occasion to serve Khrushchev or prepare his food. Carefully inspected every plane and automobile in which Khrushchev will ride, and then put them under round-the-clock guard. —Located and kept a watch on individuals known to have potentially dangerous personal grievances against Khrushchev (for

example, some Hungarian refugees whose relatives were t slaughtered in the revolt put I down by Khrushchev’s tarries). ’ —Examined the streets along , which Khrushchev will ride, and , marked down for special police surveillance any rooftop or alley- ' way that might be a good vantage point for a would-be assassin. —Eliminated from the itinerary any tight spot where a traffic jam or a crowd out of control might put the Russian leader in the position of a sitting duck. Watch far Trouble “The real problem will be the crowds,” said one official. “All we can do is to make sure there will be plenty of police on hand to keep every crowd under control, and to keep a constant close watch for any sign of trouble.” The problem has been somewhat eased by the fact that Khrushchev’s itinerary will take him mainly to big cities — New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Pittsburgh — whose police departments are very highly regarded by state department security officers. Greater difficulties are posed by Khrushchev’s scheduled visit to the rural farming region of lowa. To meet the securit problem here, the governor probably will concentrate a large proportion of the state police force. And if Khrushchev questions ’some of the “farmers” along his route too closely, he may find they are federal agents who know very little about tractors, but a great deal about security. “BROASTED” GOLDEN BROWN CHICKEN and CHOPS SHAFFER’S RESTAURAHT 904 N. 13th St. Phone 3-3857
