Cool, Clear Water Without the twang of guitars and trustry old Paint panting down the trail, Decatur is getting thirsty. . a fe \ years kack ’ an increase m water rates cut down the use by the City Water department’s patrons. Slowly, the water bill wiß fall in line with all other regular bills and taxes, and the usage will be back up to normal, and with more people using. And then, where do we go for a drink? We have been fortunate, in recent years, that this area has been blessed with wet Springs. Some of the water seeped into the wells, and some served its natural purpose, so that the citizens did not have to worry about watering their lawns. But this underground water supply is not inexhaustable. It was sufficient for smaller populations, but it will handle no more expansion, and probably not even be adequate for the present needs, come dry years and more usage. It is certainly not adequate for industrial expansion. cat. Drilling more wells is not the answer. As the cfty is located over only one underground watershed, more wells only rob Peter to pay Paul. The most feasible answer seems to be using surface water—a reservoir of some kind. The river wiU not do. The St. Marys river has the unfortunate distinction of being one of the flatest rivers in the country. There is one foot of fall per mile. To raise the river level eight feet, it would have to be backed up to Pleasant Mills. But the river could be used as a pipeline. It could be dredged back to a creek coming out of higher land. The land could be purchased, a reservoir built around the creek, and the water released into the river when needed. There would be countless details. Literally years of planning, surveying, engineering, studies of filtration, purification, pumps and a multitude of details and • problems that are not even anticipated. But the work would be worth the rewards. Decatur could begin to think seriously about expansion, both residential and industrial. The twang of the guitar reminds some people of the oldwestem towns that figuratively dried up and blew away. Let’s not make it literal for Decatur.

In my opinion, the USSR would not have dared to attack, had the United States issued an ultimatum that we would fight, if Hungary were attacked. We would have gained the respect of the entire world including the USSR, if we had acted forthrightly, but our President and our Vice President, and his Cabinet, were lacking in the conviction that right would triumph, whatever the odds might be. So, 25,000 people were slaughtered because we did not come to their aid. Small wonder that many nations have begun to doubt us! Our country needs a change in leadership. The party which has kept us on the brink of war for the last eight years needs to be replaced, if real peace is to be restored. Senator’s Kennedy’s party has chosen him to help lead us out of this confusion, because he possesses the qualities of leadership and vision which our country needs and which the world needs. His vast experience in foreign affairs is evidenced by his membership on the foreign relations committee of the U. S. Senate, where he has served with distinction, along with Senator Fulbright, Senator Green, Senator Mansfield and Senator Humphrey. We can charge to the present administration in Washington the communist infiltration into Cuba, combined with the loss of Cuba’s friendship. For this they do not deserve, any of them, to be rewarded by being chosen to public office. The Vice President has been quoted as saying: “There are grounds for hoping, that if given the opportunity and the time, the people of Cuba will find their own way back to freedom and the democratic institutions which Castro denied them.” Contrast the aforesaid statement with the substantive measures advocated by Senator Kennedy to win back the friendship of Cuba: “We must treat the Latin American countries as full partners in developing the western hemisphere, increase understanding through expanded information, educational and cultural exchange programs. We must assist and sustain the forces, in exile, who are fighting for freedom and not permit the expansion of communism in other countries so Latin America. We must make Premier Castro understand that we intend to defend our rights to the naval base at Guantanamo.” As a result of Senator Kennedy’s sponsorship and leadership, our Senior Citizens everywhere, north, south, east and west, have receiv. ed his party’s pledge, that their greater needs in their declining years will not be neglected, but their lot improved substantially. John F. Kennedy will march side by side, with people of all faiths, giving them aid and comfort and hope for g better world under a new leadership. Sincerely yours, * Harry A.

four parking violations. Costs on each violation were $7 and Sheets* total fine was 332. John Brecht, 119 N. Fifth street, paid $1 and costs for each of three tickets, a total of 324. These two, plus about four others, were ordered to answer in court for the tickets after repeatedly refusing to pay the parking fines. The others are scheduled to appear in court next Monday. Judge Richard J. Sulliivan explained this as an odd situation, saying that the tickets may be paid off for only 25 cents, but when they aren’t paid, something must be done to enforce the law.
