Decatur Ladies Are Named By Goodwill CkndwtU 1 n d u • I r I • » of Fort W»vn*. serving th* Decatur-Adam, county area. ha* announced the .H*.intm«-nt of two volunteer rrptrwntauve* here.

During the past year, the Indiana Federation of Cluba ha* «tre«*ed association with Goodwill Industrie* a* a *erv-| ice project in aiding the handicapped people of Indiana. Mr* (Hear Briziu*. president of the Federation received a citation of, appreciation for these effort* | February 2. The ceremony took place at the Indianapolis Goodwill Industrie*. Mrs. Wesley Ix-hman. 1315 W.. Monroe St. will act as co-chairman with Mrs Bixler in her community service project of aiding Goodwill Industries in its program of employment, training and rehabilitation of handicapped people Both ladies have expressed a desire to work closely with Girl and Boy Scouts, church youth groups and adult groups who would like to perform service for hand' capped people of our area. They believe that this can be done most effectively by means of forming cn area Goodwill committee composed of people representing various groups in which they hold membership. Individuals who do not represent organization's, but who wish to devote some time and effort in behalf of Goodwill Industries are welcome, and are asked to get in touch with either Mrs. Bixler or Mrs. Lehman. Repairable and usable items such as clothing, household articles and appliances are repaired or renovated by handicapped workers in the Goodwill Industries* sheltered workshops. These items are then sold at low budget prices in the non-p ro f i t Goodwill stores. Store sales receipts are paid to the workers as wages. Thus, the “Waste into Wages” program is maintained by contributions of discards by members of the community. The first regularly established Goodwill truck pick-up service to Decatur and Adams county will be Thursday, February 25. Those who have discards to contribute will be reminded in time to phone the area representatives. The Goodwill truck stops only upon request and never solicits from door to door. One Case Dropped,

Second Continued In city court action Monday, prosecutor Severin H. Schurger withdrew the affidavit in one case and asked a continuance for another. Judge Richard Sullivan approved the continuance in the state vs George Coy case on a disorderly conduct charge until Coy is released from a Marion hospital. Coy was hospitalized late last week at the request of physicians. In the state vs Herman Hammond case for reckless driving, the prosecution withdrew the affidavit because of lack of prosecuting witnesses. Hammond was arrested by city police following an accident two weeks ago. ’trade in a good town — Decatu
