Mental Health Agency Is Assisted By Fund

Tuesday the Decatur Community Fund officially opens and will continue for one week. One of the integral facet pf the drive is the integral facet of tne drive is the Adams county chapter of the Mental Health association. After many long years of battling the stigma that a man who had Some form of mental illness was considered, ‘‘Crazy,” the association has acquired new problems. fheae problems are similar in nature to those of other health agencies—the lack of funds for research. rehabilitation, and recovery. Local. Chapter The local chapter, which is headed by Luther Yager, Brice Bauserman, both of Berne and Mrs. Lowell Harper of Decatur, has many assistants in Decatur. They point toward keeping the area afflicted sustained with .the needed items for recovery. Because the nearest mental hospital is at Rich mond. the local area workers stress tne overall program of th< association. The bi® project in tte county is the Christmas gift ‘firnd. The patients all over state are given gifts by this association and others like it. They also assist in lobbying for better and liibid legislation at the state and federal level to give the mentally ill a better opportunity to gain a new start. Mental ihness is the nation's number one problem because more persons are afflicted than any other disease. It causes more broken ‘•omes for longer periods than any ether illness. *X> cb problems that the 10-hfrter -hfrter and the national assolaiicr i'ckle are the education of tne p- ii?;, recruiting of hospital voluntc. is tor the sick patients; encouraging and financing research, and the training of psychiatric personnel to keep the mental health program alive and func- ’ honing. The Indiana association for men- ■ tai health and its affiliated chapters also work to obtain the facts for better legislation in this area of study.

For one reason, lime applied now j will have time to dissolve and help ( next year s legume seeding. Lime ' spread a week or so before seeding time next won’t dissolve j quickly enough to get the legume , seedlihgs off to a fast start. , Usually the ground is less moist ] in the fall than in the spring and i heavy lime spreading trucks will < have less packing effect on dry soil, Spies adds. 1 A particularly good place to ap- ( plv lime this fall is on fields which I will be seeded to wheat and to; j clover or alfalfa next spring. Ideal-I, Iv, lime should be spread before the ground is worked for wheat. ■ But it is better to apply lime this fall even after wheat is in than to wait until next spring. Lime can also be spread on pastures, especially those containing legumes, to good advantage this fall. A soil test will tell accurately how much lime to apply an acre. Spies urges farmers to pay attention to quality of lime. Both fineness and percent of calcium carbonate equivalent are important. The Soil Testing laboratory at Purdue tests lime and its findings are available at county extension and agricultural stablization and conservation offices. Trade to ? •ood town — Decatur

Photographs By Reds'Satellite Are Transmitted i MOSCOW (UPD — Man may I get his first look this week at the mysterious back of the moon which has never been turned toward the earth nie Russians said photographs of 40 per cent of the lunar surface, made by the Soviet Union's Lunik 111 moon satellite. Were transmitted Sunday when the satellite skirted the earth, 29,515 miles above the Solomon Islands in the Pacific. The official Soviet Tass news agency said the pictures, taken about 11 days ago when the satellite was reported behind the moon, are now being processed by Soviet scientists. It said the information would be made public. One Soviet scientist predicted shortly after the launching of Lunik 111 on Oct. 4 that the pictures may disclose some “low form” of life on the moon. “Photographs were taken of the other side of the moon which cannot be seen from the earth,” the Tass announcement said. "The information of the scientific measurements and photographs are being processed <and> the results of the processing will be made public.” It did not say when. In skirting the earth Sunday, Lunik 111 became the first satellite to pass successful around the moon and back toward the earth. If it stays on course the moon will fall within Lunik’s orbit about every two weeks. One Soviet scientist said eventually Lunik 111 may burn up in the earth's atmosphere or fall onto the moon. Tass said the satellite now was hidden from Russia and that its next transmission of information is scheduled for Wednesday between 4 and 5 a.m. e.d.t-4-H Beef Committee To Meet Wednesday The 4-H beef committee has planned a meeting for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Dr. John Carroll farm northeast of Pleasant Mills according to Paul Kohne. committee chairman, and Leo N. Seltenright. county agricultural agent. Purpose of the meeting is to point out changes in 4-H beef rules for 1960 and get members started earlier on their project work. 4-H members interested in hav ing a calf for next year are urged to be present.

FALSE. Obscene and indecent matter is nonmailable. If you receive any obscene mail, submit it promptly to the postmaster. He will in turn send the matter to the postal inspection service for proper attention. The Post Office Department has declared war on mailers of obscene and indecent matter. Congress passed legislation in 1958 designed to put teeth in the Department's efforts. Uris law will facilitate prosecutions at points of delivery as well as at points of mailing and enroute. Obscene mailings represent a multimillion dollar industry and create a real and nauseating threat to the morals of our youngsters. If patrons will cooperate by promptly reporting every instance of receipt of pornographic advertisements, literature, or materials, the Post

Book Challenges Roosevelt Record By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD— The Henry Regnery Co- of Chicago has published a book with a preventive title which is likely t< stir up some angry dispute 3. the United States. The title is: “Roosevelt's Road to Russia.” The author is George N. Crocker. The price per copy is $5. That is a high price for a book of 312 pages, and it may discourage some readers. More discouraging to readers j could be a trend in book revieWling which the right wingers of ' American politics declare they can discern and identify. This is a trend toward shrigging off as bad manners, or worse, those books and pamphlets in circulation which fiercely challenge Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1933 - 45 stewardship of the American destiny. Crocker’s book is a fierce and bluntly worded challenge. It will be all the more offensive to FDR’s defenders because it challenges their hero as the architect of World War II strategies which left the world in the condition now prevailing, which Is a mess. The theme of Crocker's book, is that FDR was a gullible stooge for J. V. Stalin’s master plan to dominate the post-war world or as much of it as possible. “Web of Subversion” “Roosevelt’s Road to Russia” is a chronicle of the men around FDR and of the great wartime conferences at which these men and the President matched wits and wisdom with the Allied teams and notably with Stalin and V.M. Molotov Crocker documents his charge that the U.S. team was over-matched and out-played. He especially tags the late Harry Hopkins as a safety man who forever was dropping the ball for lack of the will to catch it. “That a web of subversion was spun over Washington in Roosevelt's administration is now beyond question,” Crocker writes. “J. Edgar Hoover’s 'Masters of Deceit’ is but one of many authoritative sources which verify that the government was infiltrated by both Communist sympathizers and Soviet agents and that U.S. policies, plans and official attitudes were not only influ*

Office can win this battle. 2. SPECIAL-DELIVERY SERVICE P R 0 V I D E S INSURANCE FOR VALUABLE MAIL. FALSE. Special-delivery service does not provide any insurance or indemnity. Special-delivery articles are given the most expeditious handling and transportation (surface or airmail, according to postage prepaid), and immediate delivery on arrivals at the office of address. By prepaying airmail postage plus the proper specialdelivery fee, patrons are assured of the fastest possible transportation and delivery of mail. All spe-cial-delivery fees must be prepaid in addition to the proper rate of postage. The special-delivery fee for letters or other first-class mail weighing 2 pounds or less is 30 cents.

enced by these infiltrations but also promptly reported to Moscow. “If Franklin D. Roosevelt became, as war went on, Stalin’s favorite fellow-traveller, it was not necessarily because anjy ideological conversion occurred. Will Anger Many "The pro-Russian atmosphere in Washington...was galling to many, including the frustrated secretary of Navy, James V. Forrestal. His diaries reveal that in September, 1944, he had written to a friend that ‘lf any American suggests that we act in accord with our ows interests, he is apt to be called a. Fascist or imperialist, while if Uncle Joe (Stalin) suggests that he needs the Baltic provinces, half of Poland, all of Bessarabia and access to the Mediterranean, all hands in Washington agree that he is a fine, frank, candid and generally delightful fellow.' Such was the frame of mind Roosevelt took to Yalta.” t l The dust cover of "Roosevelt’s Road to Russia” says: “Many people w llbi emade angry by this book." i That is a sound and reasonable prediction, especially if the ques-; tions raised by Crocker become involved in next year’s presiden-' tial campaign. Two Accidents Are Reported In County j The sheriff’s department report-! ed two accidents, which occurred Sunday about two hours apart) within the county. One driver was: arrested by state police for failure to yield right of way in the accident at Berne. No <ne was seriously injured in either mishap. At 12 10 p.m. Sunday, the driver of a vehicle northbound on. theWinchester road, about a mile north of Decatur, told police that the door of his car came open and j he fell out. Jerry Ross Baughman. 20, of route 3, Decatur, sustained; minor scrapes and scratches, but| his car was damaged about SIOO worth when it went across the road and into a ditch. A female passenger in the car was not injured. Randall Alan Stuckey, 16, of Berne, will appear in Berne justice of the peace court Thursday following the accident Sunday at U. S. 27 and state road 118 in Berne. Damage to his car was S4O and $35 to the car driven by Rob- K ert Lee Augsburger, 27, of route 1, Geneva. Police reported that Stuckey Stopped at the stop sign driving west on state road 118, but continued west without noticing the approaching southbound vehicle driven by Augsburger. The Vehicles struck about midway in the intersection. Science Display At Decatur Library A beautiful display of moths and butterflies, collected by the freshman science class of William Journay of Decatur high school, will be placed cn display in the entrance cases at the Decatur public library this evening. Miss Bertha Heller, librarian, said this noon. The display, which will be plac ed at 5 p.m.. will be cahnged eac' week, Miss Heller added. This wi’ be the first showing of this kind in the new cases, part of the re modeling job of the library completed last February.

Urges Checking On Security Payments A question the social ministration would like to hear asked more often, according to Christian H. W. Luecke, manager of the Fort Wayne social security office, is, “Have my earnings been properly credited to my social security account?” Most people know something about their rights and benefits under social Security but many do not know they have certain obligations, too. For example, have you checked your social security record in recent years? Do you know whether all your earnings have been correctly credited to your account? If your answer is “No” to these questions, you should take action now. This advice applies to everyone, Luecke said, but especially to household workers who may work for several employers at the same time, or who may change jobs frequently, or who mdy not work steadily. Household workers are covered by social security only if they are paid cash wages of SSO or more in a calendar quarter by the same employer.. They may find that their record does not reflect all their earnings because they were less

than SSO in cash in a calendar quarter, Luecke said. The household employe may also find that some of her earnings should have been reported or credited to her account and were not. This might be her fault because she didn’t furnish the employer her social security number when she asked for it. Or, maybe the domestic repeated her social security number from memory and it was wrong, or the employer copied the number incorrectly. Another pbssibility, Luecke said, may be that the employer doesn’t realize that work around her home should be reported and she fails to do so. "It’s good business to make sure your earnings have been properly credited to your account just as you make sure you receive credit for your bank deposits and Insurance premiums. "Remember that your social security retirement, disability and survivors benefits will be based on your social security account. Tn our report for September, given below, we had to straighten out 52 errors made in reporting the earnings of workers,” Luecke said, “not only wage earners but also self-employed.
