Local Rumors One of the principal jobs of a newspaperman is running down “rumors” and stories which people have heard, but which must be verified before they can be printed. Newspapermen are very glad when they get i a “tip” on a story, and a good man runs down a lead completely, and never betrays the source of his information. Whenever anyone wants to find out if a story is really true, he need only call the editor, who will check it out if it is at all plausible. It is far better to do that than it is to repeat it as true when it may not be. A good example is a recent report. We heard from so-and-so that the story was going around that a dope peddler was hitting the local school children. We started checking. First of all, the story came to us that a girl had “smoked” heroin at the youth center, and had to be taken to a physician. So, first of all, we called the manager of the youth center. Dick Linn stated that yes, he had heard the same story; three or four mothers had called him to ask if it was true. He stated categorically that it was false. (In* the first place, heroin is taken by injection in a vein, not by smoking—marajuana is smoked). Second, not only had no incident ever happened at the center to his knowledge, Linn also checked with the police to see if anyone had reported such an event to them. The police likewise stated that four or five times a year the same rumor crops up. They have not had any such case. They knew of no such case. They would immediately notify all concerned, including the youth center, health authorities, school authorities, and all others, if it ever does happen. Also, they told Linn, if anyone ever smokes any marajuana in the youth center, everyone inside will know it immediately — it fairly reeks, and betrays its presence. We then checked with the county hospital. No dope cases have been reported there since a transient attempted to get some “stuff” two months ago. No verified local case was known at all. We then checked with city and county authorities, and school authorities. The same story. Apparently some boy or girl thought they would see how far the story would go, and told it to their friends; the friends then repeated it in good faith to their friends and parents, and around it went. Dope is one of the most dangerous of all habits, and the sale or gift of it to young people is one of the worst crimes of the civilized world. Many states are passing death-sentence laws covering its sale to minors. Anyone who is ever approached by anyone who has any form of narcotics, or offers it to anyone, should inform the local police immediately. Its use once can absolutely ruin a person’s entire life—it forms a habit so deadly that death is preferred by many addicts to quitting its use. Anyone who has ever seen a typical case —a completely depraved individual who craves dope above all—above decency, clothes, food, family, anything —appreciates the seriousness of such a business.

Autumn Arrives In Unseasonable Heal United Press International Autumn arrives this afternoon amid unseasonably mild temperatures in Indiana, a trend expected I to continue most of this week. The new season arrives officially at 2:09 p.m. c.d.t., the U. S. Weather Bureau at Indianapolis said, replacing one of the warmest summers in recent Hoosier history. Although Indiana got a preview of chilly fall weather last week when the mercury skidded to 27 degrees at Wabash, forecasters predicted afternoon highs today will range from the low to the high 80s, with somewhat cooler weather Thursday. But the outlook for Friday called for “continued warm.” Temperatures around Hoosierland Tuesday ranged from 84 at Lafayette to a high of 89 at Evansville, and overnight readings were from 61 at Indianapolis to a balmy 70 at Goshen. No additional precipitation was reported, but the weatherman said there was a chance scattered thundershowers will hit northern sections late today or early tonight and the central portion Thursday night. The tive-day outlook for the period ending next Monday called for near - normal temperatures north and slightly above normal south. I Normal highs range from 69 i north to 80 south, normal lows I j from 48 to 60. Little precipitation was expect-! ed.

Interest Yields On All E and H Bonds Increased T. F. Graliker, chairman of the Adams county U.S. savings bonds 1 committee, was notified today that the improved interest yield on t savings bonds has been authorized . by the Congress and that the high-. er interest rates to be paid on the* . bonds applies to all series "E” and “H” bonds purchased since 1 June 1 as well as to “E” and “H” ' bonds purchased prior to that date. The treasury has announced that ’ the interest yield on series “E” and “H” savings bonds purchased ' since June 1, 1959 and held to maturity has been increased from 3.25 to 3.75 per cent and that the yield ’ on other *‘E” and “H” savings ’ bonds issued prior to that date ' will be increased by at least % of ' 1 per cent beginning June 1. In view of the higher savings ’ bonds interest yields, many owners ' of the old bonds may ask if they ' should trade them in for the newer 1 securities. The answer to that question: absolutely not. The old bonds will receive the improved ’ yield automatically. A trade-in procedure will not only be undesirable but detrimental from an earnings standpoint to the owner. The older ; bonds will have unusually attract- ■ j ive yields.
