— , Le t’s Go Swimming What about a lake for Decatur? It’s not near*"*” the impossibility folks might think, and it would provide benefits that go beyond a place to swim. One of the best advantages of a lake would be the flood control it would provide. Every year or two, we are hampered by minor floods that cause crop and erosion damage, and a lot of lost hours. Added to these are the major floods that strike at ten to twenty year intervals, and play havoc. A lake designed around a flood control idea would prevent our floods, and lessen damage in many other areas. It would provide this whole area with a sure supply of water. Not only a supply, but an abundance, in times when even a mere adequate amount is getting to be a pressing problem in cities throughout the nation. A supply of water not only for personal use, but one sufficient for any industry that might find our location likely for a plant. It would be a boost in the arm for any business in town. Pick any lake in Indiana that is accessible, and people go there. And with more leisure time, more and more families are “going to the lake.’’ And when they get there, what do they need? They need food, clothes, restaurants, hardware, drugs and lotions, and some even read newspapers. The easiest way to judge the boost a lake would give Decatur would be to sit along Thirteenth street some Friday evening and count the boats going north. Multiply that figure by two or three (not everyone that goes to the lake is fortunate enough to have their own boat) and you get an idea of just how much traffic the lake country draws from this area. Then multiply that by Jay, Wells, Huntington and Allen counties. It would provide recreational facilities for this same area. The possibility of a state park should not be too remote, since the nearest developed one is almost in Michigan, and in the opposite direction, Brown county is about the closest park with any recreational facilities. It is not an overnight project by any means. Many hours of work would have to be done by people who possibly would never benefit, but the signers of the Declaration of Independence never got to draw social security, either. If some organization wanted to do something that would really benefit the whole community, a serious study of the possibilities and problems surrounding the construction of a lake near Decatur would be a worth-while project. Decatur happens to be south of the “lake area,” but it is a safe wager that at some time in the future, there will be an artificial lake in this area. It might as well be here.

Religion Dominant Issue In Campaign

General Lead Polities By United Press International The religious issue continued as the dominant theme today in the accelerating presidential campaign as both major party candidates embarked on ambitious tours. Vice President Richard M. Nixon was scheduled to leave Washington on a week-long, 15-state campaign trip, while Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy headed into politically doubtful Texas. ... . - Nixon, in a network television interview Sunday night, (NBC— Meet The Press) suggested the two candidates agree on a “cutoff date” on all talk about religion. Kennedy commented: “I think we'd all be better off. I wish we could cut off debate on this subject right now.” Nixon rejected the vote of anyone who endorsed him solely because of religious sentiment against Kennedy, who is a Catholic. He said it would be “tragic” if the November election was decided primarily or “even substantially” because of the Democratic nominee’s religion. Kennedy made his comment in San Diego, Calif., as he prepared to launch a southern campaign drive through pivotal Texas. His first stop was El Paso. Talks to Ministers He was prepared to meet the religion-in-politics issue head-on at a question and answer session with Protestant clergymen at Houston tonight. There he will speak briefly and then answer questions over a statewide TV network in an appearance before the Greater Houston Ministerial 'Alliance. Kennedy scheduled a busy twoday, 10-speech swing through the Lone Star State. He was to be accompanied by his vice presidential running mate. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. Nixon was booked for stop at Indianapolis, Dallas and San Francisco on the first day of his whirlwind 9,000-mile, week-long tour. Although he still favored his left knee, doctors cleared the trip and pronounced him cured of the infection that hospitalized him for 11 days. Although the two rivals will be in Texas the dame day, their paths will not cross. In another development, Kennedy’s brother and campaign manager, Robert F. Kennedy, predicted the religious issue would die out befoi'e election day. Can Be Met He said in a speech at Libertyville, 111., that the “religious issue can be met correctly and forcefully. Another question will replace it.” He forecast the chief issues would be economic aid, foreign policy and national issues. Republican National Chairman Thruston B. Morton turned the attack toward economic issues. In an address at Cleveland, Ohio, Morton said the Republicans have no intention of winning votes by trying to "outpromise” the Democrats. Morton charged the Democrats were making “empty pledges of cradle-to-grave government charity for everybody — an endless sleigh ride on a never sagging economic boom.” Sen. Roman L. Hruska, R-Neb., said in a television interview that, . “however deplorable it may be,” the issue of Kennedy’s Catholic religion would be a factor in the election. He predicted that as things now stand, Nixon nas a good chance of carrying Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Virginia. o ■ —— 20 Years Ago Today O < Sept. 12, 1940—At least 50 workmen were killed in four explosions in a powder plant at Kenvil, N.J.
