DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday By THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office aa Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller, Jr. — President John G. Heller Vicej-President Chas. Holthouse .—- Secretary-Treasurer The Steel Strike Everyone in Decatur, Adams county, and the United States regrets the severe effects of the steel strike. We must al! realize that two titans, the steel industry which represents a power greater than the United States government itself, and organized labor, a power nearly as large, are struggling. Public interest demands that a settlement fair to both sides and to the rest of us must be made. Perhaps had Eisenhower acted last Spring when the Democrats advised him to, both sides would realize the folly. Neither can be completely right or completely wrong, yet we all lose. Let’s hope for a quick settlement. • • • DEMOCRATIC CITY CANDIDATES 11 For Mayor Robert D. Cole Decatur’s First Full-Time Mayor For City Clerk-Treasurer For City Judge Mrs. Laura Bosse Richard J.

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER WHAT WE’VE HEARD A man took his daughter to college for her first year. he left, he told the dean of women: "We’ve lost, a daughter, but we've regained our telephone and bathroom.” WHOA, BERNIE Pete Warner tells a humorous story of a football game. Pete played a lot of football for New Albany high school, and then went on to do the same at Kentucky U. In one of New Albany’s games, Pete was playing linebacker on defense. The opposing fullback for a 1 Louisville school was a boy named Bernie Crimmins. Crimmins, who later played for Notre Dame, was quite a fullback. On one play, he plowed through the line and started down field. Pete was blocked, but managed to snag his fingers in the back of Crimmins’ jersey. Away they went. Crimmins was bulling his way down the field and Pete was sailing along behind, still hanging on to the jersey, but unable to regain enough balance to do anything but hang on. Pete finally got a little help and Crimmins was brought down, but for about 20 yards, Pete knows how the tail of a kite feels. FROM OTHER DAYS A lot of history left Decatur with the passing of Sam Hite and Wilson Lee. We were fortunate to know both of these men whild they were still active around Decatur. They were interested in Decatur. and the things that went on here. They got their start at a time when businesses were run in quite a different manner than they are now. The fancy packaging and pretty displays of today were unknown in the grocery store Mr. Hite ran and the hardware store of Mr. Lee. The high pressure systems and the “hard sell” weren’t their strong point?. Hard work was? Both men operated Tn the days when a store opened at five ov> six in the morning and closed at ten at night—six days a week. Lots of business men of today laugh at these “old-fashioned" methods. They should, too. All Mr. Hite and Mr. Lee and the men of that era did was build successful Icinesses, become highly respected in the community, make a very comfortable living, and get a lot of enjoyment out of life. To top it off, they both enjoyed long and relatively healthy lives. These men were a form of pioneer in Decatur. Not in the settling sense,

but in the civilizing sense. They sold the things people needed, and did it almost any time of the day. Modern methods in some things are a great improvement, but there’s still no substitute for friendliness and service. History holds a lot of lessons tor any ageall it takes is application. - 30 , WHAT’S IN A NAME Last week we reported on a conversation between Ralph Smith and Forrest Elzey. The conversation never took place. At least between those two men. It happened at Bowers' hardware store, and one of the clerks, Forrest Buffenbarger, was the man talking with Mr. Smith. The other clerk at Bowers’ is Joe Elzey. So I sat down and dashed off the squib about the corn husking peg and wrote that Forrest Elzey was the man doing the talking. This Mr. Elzey is a former mayor of Decatur, and to my knowledge and his, was no where around when the talking was going on. Haste makes waste. , LIKE AN ELEPHANT Leland Smith is a busy man. It takes a lot of work to head up an insurance agency the size of his, and it takes a lot of phone calls. Mr. Smith came in on a Monday and saw on his desk a note to call someone on Monday morning. So, that’s just what he did. When the party answered, Mr. Smith gave his name, and said he was making a call he had noted on a piece of paper. He went ahead to explain that he was sometimes forgetful about his calls, as he had so many to make. The party answered that he would have to agree, as Mr. Smith had made the call two weeks ago. Seems that in the cleaning of his office, the paper had been picked up and put right on top of everything. o —o 20 Years Ago Today o—————— ——————— 0 Oct. 24. 1939—The $350,000 in electric utility revenue bonds, issued by the city light and power plant, were sold to City Securities Corp, of Indianapolis, on a bid of three per cent Interest, plus $2,368 premium. Two persons were killed and two injured at Fort Wayne when a switch engine backed into the side of a Chicago-New York express of the Pennsylvania railroad. Severin Schurger, of Decatur, has successfully passed his bar examination and will be admitted to the Indiana bar association next week. He plans to open his law practice here. An estimated 690,000 American workers received pay raises today as the national minimum wage increased from 25 to 30 cents per hour.

New Ownership Al Western Auto Store A Grand Rapids, Mich., retail merchant took over the ownership of the Western Auto Associates store at 152 N. Second street, Decatur, earlier this week from Jack Gordon, who operated the auto accessory and hardware business for nine years. John W. Rawlinson. 47, is currently directing renovation at the store, while planning for new stock additions. Rawlinson, who was born in Blackstone, Va., and graduated from high school there, also attended Michigan State University, majoring in forestry. African Plantation Manager He worked with the U. S. forest service for a year before accepting a position with a major rubber producer, working in Liberia, Africa for 10 years. He was a group manager of one of the firm’s two rubber plantations. After returning to the states, he went into the retail florist business at Attica, and then at Grand Rapids, Mich., before buying the local store. Active with the Attica Lions, Rawlinson belonged to the Presbyterian church there. In Grand Rapids, he belonged to the Con-

Extensive Remodeling The new additions to the local store will include modern fluorescent lighting, which is being installed this week, a paint job on the interior walls, and restyling and repainting the front of the building. The exterior work will not be done until the interior of the store is ready with the new stock and fixtures. Jack Dailey, Katherine Boniface, and Sally Goliff will remain as clerks in the store as they were under Gordon’s ownership. Gordon said this morning that he would probably remain in Decatur although he may accept a position with the federal government in the civil defense agency with headquarters at Battle Creek, Mich. Gordon added that he would not know for certain about the government job for several weeks, though. In the meantime, he will take a vacation from “work and worry.” Southerners consume twice as much syrup as the residents of any other part of the United States.
