Beat Those Tigers! Decatur high school’s opponents Friday evening are the Tigers from Bluffton. An intense, but friendly, rivalry has existed between the two schools for many years. Time was when the rivalry was a lot more intense and a lot less friendly. So far this season the Jackets have failed to win a game and failed to score. The Tigers furnish a good opportunity for one or both. Regardless of the outcome, Decatur fans are assured of a good showing when the two teams tangle. Our National Flower Residents of Adams county have another voting obligation. This latest one is to help pick the national flower for the United States. Congress originally was scheduled to select a national posey, but they bogged down. The legislators got down to the rose and the corn tassel, and couldn’t decide. They turned the problem over to the American public. Decatur has two voting places: Lutes Flowers and the Rentz Florist shop. These two shops are members of the Florist Telegraph Delivery Association, which has been commissioned by Congress as the official ballot takers. It’s interesting to look down the list of candidates. Actually, any flower is eligible, as there is a blank at the bottom of the ballot for a personal preference write-in if your choice isn’t among the list. Common grass is included. This is common to the United States, but as one florist put it, “on a national holiday, a center-piece of grass on the dinner table wouldn’t do too much.” Holland has the tulip and France the lilly as floral symbols of their nations. Canada's maple leaf might not be the national flower, but is used as one of their symbols, even in the Canadian flag. The poppy is associated with China, although probably not in an official capacity. Russia’s may be the thistle. Voting started October Ist and runs through the 31st of October. This is an official vote, and will be declared by Congress pending the outcome. Some citizens may not care about it, but any who have a preference are urged to obtain and study a ballot and make their choke. While this may not be the most important issue decided by an American vote, it bears some thought and certainly some citizen participation. This is ths land of the free, and it is things like this election that make up the total whole to keep it that way.

Reception Boosts Halleck's Slock By EUGENE J. GABOV United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— There is little doubt that the vice-presi-dential bid of Rep. Chariot A. Halleck of Rensselaer was bolstered by his tremendous reception at “Charlie Halleck Day” festivities in Rochester Tuesday. And the high tribute paid to the veteran Hoosier congressman by the front runner for the Republican presidential nomination, VicePresident Richard M. Nixon, was stimulating. Halleck is eminently qualified for the nomination in many ways. The 56- year-old Hoosier has served a quarter of a centufy in Congress and has been a leading GOP representative for many of those years. He was the highlysuccessful legislative right arm of President Eisenhower in the recent congressional session in which he saved most of Ike's legislation from the attacks of the Democratic majority. Good Geographically Also. Halleck is good geographically, if either Nixon, a Californian, or New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, wins the GOP bid for President. Haleck, who has admitted he would like to be vice-president, also has reminded newsmen that "you don’t campaign for vicepresident.” After all, the presidential nominee almost invaribly chooses his running mate. No one realizes this truth more than Halleck. In 1948. Halleck was led to believe that Thomas E. Dewey, a presidential bidder, would be for him for the second spot. Halleck so informed the Indiana delegation which had been lined up for Sen. Robert A. Taft overwhelmingly. The Hoosier delegates switched to Dewey, solely to advance Halleck’s chances. But Dewey needed the big California delegation and he picked Gov. Earl Warren as a running mate. Ike Picked Californian President Eisenhower likewise needed the California backing in 1952 and chose Nixon as his companion on the GOP ticket. Halleck’s future next year depends upon whether Nixon, or perhaps Rockefeller, seeks to capture another big state delegation. Nixon is nearly sure already to have garnered most of the Hoosier votes at the convention. He now is enthusiastically championed by Governor Handley and the powerful Statehouse patronage organization and the GOP State Committee. Nixon doesn’t need Halleck in this state. All of these groups hkve battled Halleck in party organization affairs for many months. Handley has said he would be for Halleck, but has failed to state that he would help him win the nomination. As far as most Hoosier leaders are concerned, Halleck is a "prophet not without honor save in his own country.” Whether his immense national appeal, resulting from his brilliant record in Congress, can overcome the tendency of the Hoosier leaders to sit on their hands remains to be seen.

Soil Moisture Is Bettered In Stele LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—The Indiana soil moisture shortage has moved from the northwest to the southeast, a report from agricultural statisticians at Purdue showed today. Robert E. Straszheim in his weekly crop reportsaid the southeastern one-fourth of the state reported the driest conditions by the end of last week. Previously, the northwestern fourth was in the worst shape, but rains favored that area within the last two weeks. "Soil moisture was greatly improved over much of the state,” the report said, "and 60 per cent of the counties now report ample topsoil moisture. However, only 40 per cent of the state reports an> pie subsoil moisture.” Rains slowed the harvest of corn and soybeans but improved soil conditions for the seeding of small grains. About 45 per cent of the wheat has been sown and 70 per cent of the barley seeded, both ahead of last year. Soybean harvest is 60 per cent completed, compared with 30 per cent last year. "The corn is now nearly all past any danger of frost, with 10 per cent now picked,” the report said, “compared with five per cent picked this time last year.” Just Demanded POMONA, Calif. (UPD—L. J? King, psychology instructor at Cal Poly, lists the following points for one of his courses: Course pre-requisite: An open mind. Base needs: Good penmanship or typewriter. Attendance: Not compulsory—just demanded.

Probing Vocational Education Program INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission launched an investigation late Tuesday into the state’s vocational education program. The action followed a report from Rep. Joe A. Harris (D-Car-lisle) that Indiana has 63,000 fewer industrial jobs now than there were in 1953. The commission authorized the creation of a subcommittee made up of two members of the House and two from the Senate and one representative of industry and one of labor. The lawmakers were to be appointed by the commission while Governor Handley was to appoint the industry and labor representatives. "This is a critically serious situation,” Harris told the commission. “Our state must take effective steps to bring more jobs to

the state and to hold the jobs we now have.” Harris said the last General Assembly failed to act on several bills designed to meet the need for vocational education because there was not enough factual material for a decision. The subcommittee will seek to determine the extent to which present vocational education facilities are being used, the methods by which Indiana can close any gap that exists and the amount of cooperation which may be obtained from industry and labor in providing qualified instructor personnel and training equipment. The commission also adopted a resolution aimed at forcing greater participation in subcommittees. The resolution specified that any member of a committee who misses two consecutive meetings without justification will be asked to resign from the committee. The commission scheduled its next meeting Nov. 10.

Interesting Data By Tax Foundation By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON *UH) — Tax Foundation Inc. of New York City is an outfit which puts a cold appraising eye on the spending of the taxpayers’ money. The foundation's sharp pencil accountants come up with facts and figures which sometimes illuminate the endless arguments here in Washington about how much government should spend and for what. One of these arguments has been usually angry. The dispute was about spending government money for educational purposes. Reduced to its simplest form: The Democrats wanted to spend and the Republicans didn’t. A disagreement like that, of Course, could be worked out on the basis of two factors: (1) Is the spending necessary, and <2> Can the Treasury afford it? The disputants could not agree, however, on the answers to those two questions. Compare School Enrollment Tax Foundation Inc. doesn’t answer these questions, but it offers some interesting figures which compare in terms of percentages the increased enrollment in the schools and the increased funds available for educational purposes. The foundation reported that from 1940 to 1959, enrollment increased 38.2 per cent. Revenue for current spending in the same period increased 124.1 per cent. Current spending per pupil in average daily attendance increased almost four times over since the school year which ended in 1940. Teachers’ salaries was the major factor in this, the foundation reported, adding: “The average salary reached in this past school year was 35 per cent greater than that of 1950 and 65 per cent higher than 1940’s average. These advances in salary, have generally outstripped living cost increases in the period.” Grain Storage Costs Tax Foundation Inc. turned up other statistics which should interest the taxpayer. For example: —As of June, 1959, there were only 200,000 more persons in the armed services than there were federal civilian employes. The regular federal payroll for civilian employes in the 12 months ended

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1959

June 30 was more than one billion doflars per month. Federal state and local governments, as of last June, employed about eight million civilians. This was almost as many employes as are on the payrolls of the 500 largest companies in the United States. —Cost to the Treasury for carrying charges and storage of price - supported wheat was estimated at about three million dollars daily. The quantity of govern-ment-held wheat has increased from 467 million bushels in 1952 to 1,115,060,000 bushels as of Sept. 18. The quantity of governmentheld grain sorghum increased 234% times from 1952 to 1959; rice, 75 times; butter and soybeans, each, about 17 times; barley 18 times. —lnflation and high taxes have set up this situation: A company which had a $15,000 profit in 1939 before taxes must have a $48,525 before taxes profit figure this year to equal its 1939 profit position. That is a 224 per cent hike. To match a one-million-dollar 1939 profit figure a company this year must come up with $3,733,104. Lost Cause WASHBURN, Wis. (UPD—Police Officer Charles Hudson surprised a gunman in an alley as he attempted to break into a drug store. The man fired, ran to his car and sped away. Hudson followed. They exchanged a dozen shots during a three-mile chase. The chase ended and justice lost when the police car ran out of gas. Tod Bad CARLSBAD.- N.M. (UPD—Virgil Stowe, 23, following his arrest, told police he hauled a heavy safe three and one-half miles to toot it, then found he could have saved himseM the trouble. “I just turned the handle and the door opened,” he said.
