U. S. Post Office To Exhibit Here

Denis Daily, assistant tn the di-1 rector of visual information and! exhibits for the U, S. post office, ptiid Decatur and Adams county a I great tribute Thursday at a meeting of the Adams county rural mail I Barriers. .Decatur, which will host the I ! state convention for the association, received high praise from the high ranking postal official after surveying the Decatur Youth and Community Center, and the plans presented by Tom Miller, association president, for the convention I He indicated that the late Leo A. Kirsch was instrumental in procuring the exhibits planned for the , confab. Daily said that this was the first time that his office has participated in a state convention by bringing exhibits. Usually, the postal exhibits are restricted to national showing, or international events, he explained. Tells of History The stamp exhibit at the Fort Wayne home show will comprise small part of the entire exhibit Xvhich Daily and his personnel will bring to Decatur for the July 3, 4 and 5 convention. The Boston native explained that the exhibits portray a, part of -tmerjeao history, prompting youths and adults alike to seek more information about the nation. The commemorative stamps depict various phases of the country's history, giving the public an insight *to the post office efforts at aligning public thinking with post office problems. Daily was recently honored by the University of Maryland for a philatetic exhibit, which was chosen the best government exhibit “to stimulate student thinking ” The exhibit was part of .the president’s conference on youth. Daily noted that this phase of postal service, the selling of collectors stamps, is the only service Election Workers Meet Last Evening About 100 precinct election board members from both political parties from the northern tier of Adams county townships attended an indoctrination meeting at the county court house Thursday with county clerk Richard D. Lewton presiding. Discussion centered on the various duties of the judges, inspectors, and clerks for the special and primary elections on April 26 arid May 3, respectively. Following the explanation, questions were answered by Lewton on various situations and problems that arise on election days. For example, what does the precinct election board do when a blind person comes in to vote? The law states thaL.a,blmd..Egrsan -inaz. bring any person he wishes into the voting booth to mark the ballot. Questions of a similar nature were also answered by Lewton, concerning the aged and infirm, who are unable to write or hold a pencil. In this case, the two inspectors, one Democrat and the other Republican, assist the person in marking his ballot. A similar meeting will take place April 28 in Berne at the high school at 7:30 p.m. All those who missed the northern meeting may attend the southern meeting for instructions on correct procedures for the primary election. Lewton commented today that the turnout was much better than he had anticipated, but it was most gratifying to see so many persons interested in doing a good job on elections, he added. This was the first formal meeting of the election board members in Adams county. Lewton said that he hoped all the workers,,would now, at least, be aware of Ute other workers’ task, and all would pitch in and cooperate to get the job done in a smooth and efficient manner.

that is profit making Other than having a clerk sell th< stamps, no further service ia rendered as in I the case of ordinary mail. Oncel the stamp is sold to a collector, it is not cancelled, not delivered. or| not handled by a postal employe ( And the ta*t «f printing them is , relatively low, he added. Daily Will Return Daily flew from Fort Wayne i Thursday evening to Sacramento. Calif., for another exhibition, but| will return to Decatur July 2 to set up the 40-foot revolving exhibit. It will be but a part of the famous and valuable stamp exhibits which will be displayed at the convention. After 24 years with the postal service. Daily, still maintains a vigorous and enlightened attitude about the work the department is doing for the American public. He listed numerous incidents about his colorful and rewarding career. Dailey met with Miller and Sherman Stucky, of Berne, to discuss the promotion of the convention at yesterday's meeting. Van Werl Judge Is Speaker At Rotary Judge Katherine Harrington of the probate and juvenile court of Van Wert county discussed some of the problems of juvenile delinquency before the Decatur Rotary club Thursday evening at the Decatur Youth and Community Center. Gail Gra bill presided and Frank Dctter was program chairman. Judge Harrington, who enjoys a wide reputation for her work in handling youth problems, pointed out that only 3% of today’s youth cause the trouble, while the balance lead normal and useful lives. “The problem is as old as mankind itself. Socrates worried about the youth of his generation in 399 B.C. America’s problems began on the Mayflower. The Billington boys set the ship afire, ran away, and caused trouble with the Indians. Each generation seems to feel its problems are worse than of any previous generation.” The judge expressed an opinion “that we can never completely solve the problem.” She is worried, however, that today juvenile delinquency has become the accepted thing. Parents have forgotten how to enforce parental authority. The liberal education attitude of permissiveness which allows a child to do just as he pleases has been very harmful also. “In 1940. 239,000 delinquents were in courts. There were 520.000 cases in 1957 and the prediction is that the number will exceed a million by 1965. “Parents are responsible for the malconduct of their offsprings. The father of the delinquents .on. the.. Mayflower was eventually hanged fqr murder and the mother was put in stocks also. Today’s problems seem to have the sam6 sources. The problem seems to run in families, with each succeeding child getting into trouble.” Judge Harrington said that I%’ of the families in New York City are responsible for 75% of the delinquency. The speaker was opposed to the usual welfare department philosophy of keeping families together as a unit whenever possible. She felt very strongly that once a home had broken down it was better to remove the children as early ■as possible from this poor environment. She pointed out that it was imperative to correct a bad situation while the children were young or the chances of success diminished very rapidly as they grew older. Youth Centers, YMCA and YWCA programs, and other similar programs of supervised play do not reach these problem children because they refuse to participate. She concluded her remarks by (Continued on p*c« •18'Ut)

Civil Rights Bill To Ike

WASHINGTON (UPD — The Justice Department believes the new civil rights act will help greatly to break down historic patterns of discrimination against Negro voters. But department civil rights experts said today they did not expect" the new legislation"®'" work any miracles in assuring Southern Negroes full voting privileges overnightIn fact, they held out little hope that it would increase Negro voter participation in this year s t.jorkSThe House approved the bill Thursday by an overwhelming 288-95 vote and sent the measure to President Eisenhower to be signed into law. Believe Measure Weakened The House originally passed tha bill last month. The Senate made 16 changes which Southerners and liberals agreed weakened the measure. The House then accepted the modifications The legislation, only the second civil rights bill since Reconstruction was designed to protect Negro voting rights in the South through court-appointed election referees. It also would crack down on “hate” bombers and interferencewith school integration. One reason Justice Department experts felt the bill would not increase Negro voting this year was that primary elections already are underway ia the South. Government lawyers also expected
