Around The Area The Columbia City city council adopted the SBOO,000 bond issue and minimum quarterly rates ranging from a low of $6.60 to a high of $360, for water users with a six-inch pipe, Thursady. A sewage disposal unit * is to be built. A swimming pool is also planned in that city, to be built with funds from a very generous resident of that 1 place. Plans are now before the state board of health. And the Whitley county community fund has a goal of $26,550 to reach in October. At Kendallville the local news centers about the Campbell trial; Walter E. Campbell of Albion is charged with aiding and abetting his brother-in-law, Arnold Hobbs in the hard-felt and well-known $2 million credit union swindle. The Jay county united fund drive, with a goal of $32,515, is also slated for next week, to end the following week. Portland is busy selling shares in an industrial development corporation. Other cities have similar problems to Decatur’s. Some are ahead of us in one aspect, behind in others. We have much to learn by watching what they do, and studying to find if any ideas successful there can apply to Decatur. * To continue its rapid growth, Decatur must plan ahead, keeping that one step, that little jump, beyond the other cities nearby. We must provide the best community possible at the lowest cost to taxpayers, and present a happy, growing, prosperous community to those who watch us.

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER EXERCISING A FREEDOM The national government makes ’ mistakes — the state government makes mistakes — the local government makes mistakes — they always have, and they always will. This minor outburst doesn’t mean anything serious. The visit of Khrushchev to America simply recalled to mind many of the free- , doms that we enjoy and his way of life frowns on—and among them is the freedom of the press. This is just one at the basic American freedoms that we tend to take for granted. America has changed considerably since those basic freedoms were purposed. Many say we have lost sight of our beginnings and gone into a "socialistic” state. Yet we still have our basic freedoms, and as long as we do, this is still the land of the free. Jet airplanes. 300 horsepower cars, Satellites, atom bombs, giant strides in industry and medicine, and the highest standard of living in the history of the world can’t be fit into the Revolutionary standards, either. Things have to change—a population of over 175 million demands the changes. As long as our basic freedoms remain, this is still America. Mr. K. yaks that capitalism is stagnant and will choke itself to death. Yet this capitalistic country has undergone drastic changes since the early days, and will change continuously in the future, as the people decree. Only the basic freedoms remain unchanged, assuring those people that certain rights are fundamental—the other laws are elastic. Even our constitution can be amended. Khrushchev has traveled the breadth of this nation. He has seen that this country is anything but stagnant. He can talk all he wants; brag all he wants; we haven't heard of any steamship lines doing a booming business in charter boats to follow him back to the Soviet Union. WHAT’S THE METER NUMBER? The folks over at city hall are going to have to take a more historical outlook to their work instead of being so businesslike. A person walked in recently and asked ‘what do you know of Carrie Nation?” The folks immediately started looking for a name on the books, or a bill. It finally came through that the person just wanted a little historical information on the famous hatchet-wielder of the early prohibition-demand era. These things historical can drive you hysterical. TRUE TO FORM The oldtime weather prophets always said you have to have squaw winter before you can have Indian summer. Last week’s cold snap was enough squaw winter for most folks. IF YOU’RE HEADING SOUTH "Corny" Geimer is usually a friendly, mild-mannered fellow, but if you want to get him going, just ask him about running a red light down south. He had the misfortune to get caught in one of the south’s best sources of small-town revenue—the speed trap. After going through a tratfic light that had turned yellow to caution, he was arrested for running a “light that had turned red while he was a block away." Corny had the choice of pleading guilty for six bucks, or posting an appearance bond of ten. For four dollars, he kept his honor, and refused to plead guilty. ODDS AND ENDS There are several places a person supposedly can look around another person’s house to see what kind of habits they really have. In the attic corners, down in the basement, in the garage, in the linen closets, are all places that are supposed to reveal tue true character of people. We’d like to add another spot. Have you ever noticed the conglomeration of stuff that people let collect on the shelf behind the back seat of an automobile. A lot of these things are undoubtedly left there by children, and it is no criteria of a person's character or housekeeping ability, but it makes for interesting looking if you don't have anything better to do. You can see clothes, cameras, comic books, maps, kids, dogs and cats, and dust. The people that can really get the stuff piled up are the ones that have ' station wagons. Hie contents are about the same, but there’s just so much more room — you can get that much more collected. —— 30 —— 8 WOOFS We got a different type of story over the wtfre Thursday/' A young man in Austria was dubious over the authenticity of certain parts of his girl friend's anatomy.

A—ls your uncle pays you cash wages of $l5O or more during the year, or if you work for him on 20 or more days (regardless of the amount during the year and he pays you by the hour, the day, or the month, you will need a social security number. 2.

These articles are not intended to answer individual problems which require specific advice.) Think Before Signing Whenever you are asked to sign something, your signature should be a warning signal that in some way you may become legally obligated by what you sign. Usually you are asked to sign something as a result of a business transaction, such as a contract, a receipt, an ordeW a release, an option, a mortgage or a deed. For your own protection, you should clearly understand what you are signing, why you are signing it, and what the consequence; may be. You can decrease your legal risks by always taking these precautions before you sign anything: 1. Know what you are signing and what the document contains. Understand clearly what it means. Don't be confused by its title —a “statement” may be a release of all your claims, or a “contract” may be a negotiable promissory note. “Co-signing” a note may result in your having to pay it. 2. R«:ad everything in any document. Clauses in fine print may be important. Remember, too, that oral promises not included in writing may be Unenforceable. Take nothing for granted. 3. Check and verify the document. Be sure the dates, prices, names and conditions filled in are correct. You are bound by what it says, not by what you thought it said 4. Ask questions. Inquire about conditions and items of importance to you. Don't sign unless you understand what it means. Language clearly stating what you want can be inserted. If substantial sums are involved, consult with your attorney. 5. Retain a copy. Request and retain a copy. Record it, if necessary, with proper public officials. Like your fingerprint, your signatuie is unique. No one else has one exactly like it. Only you can sign it. and affixing it may set into motion events of great legal consequences. Treat it with the importance is deserves. If in doubt, seek information and advice.

requirement for getting social security benefits. 5. Q—l am receiving disability insurance benefits; however, I will go to work as a part of my rehabilitation program given by the state vocational rehabilitation agency. Will my disability benefits stop? A—Not necessarily. Benefits may be paid for as long as a year while working under the rehabilitation program. If you have any questions on this matter, communicate with you local social security office. 6. Q—Can a dependent father over age 65 receive benefits on his son’s account, if the son is 65 and receiving social security payments? A—No. Benefits to the dependent fathet can be paid only in case of the son’s death. 7. Q—My husband died April, 1939.

No monthly benefits were payable until 1940. 8. Q—ls the social security program for members of the armed forces different from that of civilians? A—No. Members of the armed forces receive the same consideration as any other persons covered by the program. The monthly payments, and types of retirement, survivors and disabality benefits paid are the same as for civilians. 9. Q—l understand that dependents of disabled beneficiaries can now receive monthly payments. For what month could such dependents qualify for benefits?
