DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday By _ THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Poet Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller, Jr. ... President John G. Heller .......... Vice-President Chas. Holtbouie ..—.... Secretary-Treasurer Amish School Problem The Amish children who graduated from the eighth grade but who are not yet 16 were not in school at Geneva, Berne, and Adams Central this morning. There was little doubt but that the Amish leaders who'were in the superintendent’s office at Indianapolis. Friday completely misunderstood what they were told. When the state told them that they “had no jurisdiction” over the matter at the present, the local leaders thought that they meant that neither the state nor local authorities can require the children to attend an approved school. ■ This is not true. The county superintendent has full authority to prevent any child from attending any school that has not met county and state standards. This authority will be enforced by court order, if necessary. ♦ ♦ * * « County Deputies The Adams county council was one of a number of county councils which cut allowances for a deputy clerk or deputy sheriff. In Jay county, the sheriff has given notice that he will fight the cut; he maintains that the law says the county shall pay deputies if appointed by the sheriff under the statute. At Hartford City the Blackford county council also cut out the appropriation for a second sheriff s deputy. Here in Adams a request for a full-time third deputy in the clerk’s office was cut back, as only SI,OOO was approved. The law reads that county officials (naming them) “may appoint deputies, when necessary or when required, if provision shall have been made for paying such deputies for their services from the funds of the state or of the county or from fees received for their services.” It then limits the number of sheriff’s deputies so that counties between 20,000 and 40,000 population by the last census may not have more than three deputies. Many county officials will be watching the Jay county case; if the attorney-general rules that the law reads “shall appropriate,” then many more may appoint second and third deputies. We believe that the idea of a “watchdog” like the county council is a good one, if the council seriously considers the problems of the officials, and limits them , only when they ask for something that they do not need. No request was made in Adams county for a third deputy sheriff, the office here having two deputies already. Whether the county will need a third deputy depends on the residents —if parents continue to allow their teen-age children to run at random at all hours of the night, no doubt a third deputy Will be needed to help curb the rising rate of crime and traffic accidents. It’s directly up to us whether the third deputy will be necessary.

Magazine Salesman Is Under Scrutiny A magazine salesman who has solicited sales in the northern part of the county was under scrutiny today following a report late Saturday.— The man apparently took sl9 of a S2O bill given to him by an eld- . erly lady for a three years sub- ’ scription to a farm magazine. When approached by a relative, the salesman gave the money back. Apparently the salesman stopped to get a list of elderly widows in Wiliams (Bingen) before calling on the farm homes. The salesman voluntarily reported to the sheriff’s office, and left a list of the homes on which he planned to call. Residents in the area were warned that salesmen who act suspiciously, or do not give change, should be reported immediately to the sheriff’s office. Fred Meier Receives Degree At Michigan Fred P.

Japanese Girl Tells Os Experiences Here

Hiroshima to Hoosierland is a long way—but Miss Keiko Shimizu has come that far in realizing a dream she has had for a long time. Before she entered school at Taylor University, Upland, to study home economics, she has been visiting for the past several weeks with two Decatur families: the Leonard Solidays on South Fifth street and the Rev. and Mrs. F. Hazen Sparks in Stratton place. She has answered many questions while she has been here, she comments. Miss Shimizu comes from Hiroshima, Japan, the first of the two strategic cities the atom bomb was dropped on near the end of World War 11. Somehow, after briefly talking with this student who has come halfway around the world to study in America, one goes away with the feeling that the world can be a good one—if people try to understand each other and to help each other. Premonition in March, 1945 Keiko Shimizu (her name is pronounced as if spelled kay-koh shee-mee-zoo) was born shortly before World War II in Hiroshima, a highway and railway junction and a trade center—and, during the war, a strategic city—on the southern part of Japan. The family moved to Tokyo in April of 1945, she relates, explaining, “Somebody felt some thing,”—perhaps a premonition of danger. The first atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima August 6, 1945. Os the approximately 90,000 buildings, 62,000 were totally destroyed, 6,000 of them seriously damaged. Among the ones damaged but not destroyed was an apartment house which some of her relatives were living in at the time. The closest relative she lost was an uncle on her mother’s side, she recalls. The Shimizus returned to Hiroshima after a hard year in Tokyo, the March following the bombing. Trying to support his family—Keiko, her mother, and two younger brothers—and other relatives. Miss Shimizu’s father contracted tuberculosis in 1949, the year she began junior college. Her mother became a home economics teacher, teaching cooking, and her uncles and cousins found work. The family went to live with an uncle for a year. Later, Miss Shimizu became a teacher herself, teaching Eng-lish-speaking people the Japanese language. “Not a Joyful Celebration” Now Hiroshima is 80 to 90 per cent rebuilt. Miss Shimizu recalls, having seen her home just before she left for the United States. In her province, the architecture is almost all new style. Most of the help for the people came through the churches, she says, adding that this helped with orphanages, schools, and some hospitals. Each year on the sixth of August, she explains, the people have a memorial service commemorating the A-bomb anniversary. Hiroshima has the service in Peace Park, which contains an A-bomb museum, with data and pictures, of the aftermath. Peace Park’s landmark is a large steel dome, part of a large industrial hall which was damaged in the bombing. But the people who celebrate the A-bomb anniversary in this way are making it too much a celebration, and make too much a fuss over it, Miss Shimizu says, explaining how her father feels about the event. Hie people who do so are the ones who have not actually experienced the bomb, he says. He does not attend the services. Miss Shimizu says, explaining that the family spends the day at home in a quiet way, for the day is not one for a joyful celebration. Writing to Other Side In the spring of 1949, after her father became ill, Miss Shimizu recalls, he began writing letters to a family on the opposite side of the globe, the Leonard Solidays in Decatur. A correspondence lasting ten years began with her father writing at first, and explaining what was in the letters to Miss Shimizu, who later began to write herself. In one letter, she recalls, she expressed the desire to come to the United States to go to school, for she had an aunt who went to Tennessee to study. Miss Shimizu had attended a Christian girls’ school and then went on to Toyo Aiwa Junior College for two years. In Japan, although the main religions are Buddhist and Shinto religions, the Christian demoninations are united into one church.

At first, the Rev. Sparks explained, the union did not seem to be a good thing, as the emperor effected this in about 1943. Now the United church of Japan lives up to the adage “small but mighty.” Although the Christians ‘are in the minority there, many times they are the citizens with i the most education, citizens who get into high places in business and government, largely through the Christian universities and schools there. Through the church Miss Shimizu realized her dream to come to the United States, for she is sponsored by the Methodist church of Adams county: with these churches and their pastors supporting her education here: the First Methodist church, F. Hazen Sparks, pastor; Geneva Methodist church, Geneva, Lloyd D. Wyatt; Geneva parish, Edison Beihold; Monroe Methodist church, Willis Gierhart; Monroeville and Maples Methodist churches, Walter Meacham; Mt. Pleasant and Mt. Tabor Methodist churches, George Christian; and the Pleasant Mills and Salem Methodist churches, Leon LaCoax. Miss Shimizu, who came to the United States from Tokyo through Washington state, two days and two nights from Chicago by train, will be going back west—to the univeritsy town, Upland. How does she feel about beginning college in this country? She smiles, and the Rev. Sparks tries to help explain it: “Perhaps a little shaky in the b00t5...” Yes, she may be a little worried—but not too much. For this final trip to Upland means the beginning of a dream come true—and the end of a trip from Hiroshima to Hoosierland, Non-Sticking Trays To prevent your ice trays from sticking in the freezing unit of your refrigerator, rub the outside of the trays with salad or cooking oil.
