While the plant itaelf is having a aeries of “family-gyla” calibrations, the event | u quite meaningful to everyone in Decatur. If we remember back to what a sleepy little village Decatur was in 1919 when it was announced that General Electric would build a fractional motor factory here, we can get some idea of the changes brought about by the “industrialisation” of our city. In 1920, Decatur's population was 4.762. just 620 larger than it was in 1900. By 1930, the population of our city grew to 6,156, and dospite the depression years increased in 1940 to 5,861. About this time the General Electric plant, spurred to growth by the Second World War, increased greatly in size, and payroll. * ' For example, during the first 20 years, the plant’s pay roll amounted to $7Vj million. This seems like a lot of money until we discover that the enlargement of the plant during the 1940’» resulted in a payroll for second score of years that amounts to $55 million—more than 7 times the payroll for the first 20 years! The city’s population has reflected the enormous growth of General Electric here — The 1950 census - showed a population of 7,271, passing in size all the cities of the 4th congressional district, except Fort Wayne. The present census will tell if Decatur will continue in growth and leadership. r Yes, Decatur’s GE plant has produced a payroll of some $63 million in the past 40 years. And every dollar of the payroll has actually provided four or -* five dollars worth of business as it changed hands time and again. Decatur can be proud of the men and women w’ho, by working together, have provided the fine record of the Decatur GE plant. George W. Auer, the present plant manager, is ably assisted by a large and competent staff, and all are working for the betterment of General Electric and the Decatur community. With more than 700 persons regularly employed, GE j is the largest single business in the city of Decatur. The people of the city salute the General Electric ; Company, and wish it increased prosperity and the steady growth of understanding between the community _ - i and its industrial leaders. A number of stories throughout the remainder of j ‘the week will explain the story of the General Electric ’ plant in Decatur, and how the progress here has been ■ . — —

Kridcr predicted that there will' be an additional 55 million food consumers in the U. S. by 1975.. To feed them, he said, "will re-; quire an increase in our output of meat, milk and eggs amounting to slightly over 30 per cent. Even with improvements in the nutritioo. sanitation and health management of our livestock and poul-. try which will contribute to further efficiency, we have a big job ahead of us." To do the job. he observed., "livestock and poultry producers need and demand the best animal health products and feed additives; , . that will produce a unit of product most economically. This, places a great challenge before I our industries, as we help producers provide food consumers with the safe, nutritious and wholesome protein foods they prefer and need.” —~ 0 20 Years Ago Today a April 19. 1940—Members of the, Zion Reformed church have filed i a petition to change the church name to the Zion Evangelical and Reformed church.
