The Congo, which received its freedom from Belgium July 1, is now undergoing a series of re- , volts and disturbances from na- ■ tive groups. Many Belgians have i fled the country. The natives have not been highly educated toward self-government by the Belgians, and appear to have many difficulties to overcome before a real demoncratic government can be established there. LOCALS The Rev. John Gillig, pastor of the St. Monica’s church in Mishawaka, is in Decatur for an 11-day vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Gillig. I . —

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY 1- ii — By JACK HELLER ADDENDUM A little more to the Lyle Mallonee and his six bottles of pop story. After Lyle had given the young man with the power mower a fill-up with three cents worth of gas and the six bottles of Pepsi, he went back into the station murpWing about the younger generation. He was telling the Story ito one of his workers at the station, and the fellow smiled at Lyle’s tale of woe. When Lyle got done, the worker asked him what he was griping about—this fellow had bet the young man two bits that.he wouldn't bring the power mower in for a fill-up. The youngster not only got the six PepsiS with his gas but won a quarter to 1 boot. They better be careful, or the boy will own the station in a [ few weeks. VISITING My sons and I spent an enjoyi able fourth of July weekend Visit- ! ing ¥ with some former Decatur residents at Tri-Lakes. We took our tent and camping gear, and i set up behind Jack and Betty j Kline’s store. The Klines are do- ‘ ing real well this summer in the . grocery business, and both are glad to see any folks from Decatur. Jack has a real tough life. His store is right across the road from the lake, and he has his fishing pole propped on the end of his pier. While working in the store, he can keep one eye on the bobber. He must be busy though, because he had more of a tan I when he worked here at the Demo- ; crat than he has now. If you hap- : pen to be around that area, stop in and see Jack and*Betty. They will be glad to tell you the best spots to fish—and if Jack can get away, he’ll probably take you to them himself. FROM TRAVELERS We received a nice card from the John Kelley family. The Kelleys are vacationing in Seattle this summer, and the card shows a view of Lake Washington, with beautiful Mount Ranier in the background. The Kellys also had the opportunity to visit aboard the USS Missouri, and see the spot where the Japanese surrender papers were signed. They plan to take two weeks coming home, including a swing through Los Angeles. The card didn't say anything about attending the convention. We are always happy to know where the good folks from Adams county are traveling. 14s you go on your vacation, if the notion strikes you, drop us a card. While we all can’t get all over the country in one year, we can share our experiences with each other. There’s so much to see in this great country, that perhaps some out-of-the-way place you happen onto is just what someone else is looking for but might not know about. And please drive carefully on your trip. CARNIVAL HALTS FISHERMAN One of Adams county’s most devoted followers of Sir Isaac Walton is none other than county agent Leo N. Seltenright; nearly every Seltenright vacation is carefully planned with a fishing theme smack in the center. Last weekend, however, the interpid angler was defeated in what was planned as a long weekend fishing trip The Seltenrights, including the missus and son, unpacked at their favorite Michigan park Thursday night before tjje long weekend, and thought they had hit it pretty lucky in getting a choice camp spot. To their dismay they learned that evening tnat a carnival, horsepulling contest with 150 entrants, and, other 4th of July entertainment was expected at the edge of the park, drawing some 30,000 visitors to the area. Even such a fisherman as Leo was disheartened, and the family returned home Saturday with dry bobbers and no fish. BIRTH At the Adams county memorial hospital: An eight pound, nine ounce baby boy was born at 7:55 a.m. today to James E. and Florence Helen Nelson Mosser of Geneva.
