It was 34 at Goshen, 36 at South Bend, 37 at Lafayette and 38 at Fort Wayne. Indianapolis recorded 42 and Evansville 48, with Louisville and Cincinnati lows in between those readings. The cool night came on the heels of a moderately warm day which saw the temperature climb to a range between 70 at South Bend and 79 at Evansville Thursday. Another cool night is expected tonight with the mercury dipping between 38 and 45. But mild daytime readings were due at least through Monday and possibly into midweek in the central and south portions. Once again, in its five-day outlook, the Weather Bureau predicted very little rain. Precipitation will average one-fourth of an inch or less in the north and one-<

tenth of an Inch or less in the south, and no rain is expected anywhere in Hoosierland until next Tuesday or Wednesday.

(UPD—The chairman of Fulton County's school reorganization committee has resigned because a plan for a single county-wide school unit was “contrary to the will of the majority of the voters, taxpayers and parents in 6 of 8 townships.” Chairman Chester Bowersox said in a three-page denunciation of the plan that the recommendation of the committee would place the consolidated high school in Rochester against the wishes of the people. He said the recommendation is based “on blithe and blind unconcern, bias, greedy and preconcluded opinions which are contrary to the rights and freedoms of the people.” Bowersox pointed out in his resignation Wednesday night that only 13 of 42 persons present at a meeting of the advisory committees recently voted for a single school district. , “It is unbelievable that we could have a state law such as the school reorganization law whereby one organization could have the power to force 5 of 7 smaller corporations to merge with them,” he said. Bowersox said the “principles for which I stand seem to be contrary to those held by a majority of the county committee and I feel I can no longer serve the cause.” Meanwhile, seven Fulton County township advisory committees met at Grass Creek School and formed an organization known as the “School Advisory Council of Fulton County.” The group said it was set up to fight the single-unit plan which Bowersox attacked. Reorganization in Cass County also was held up by the dispute. Cass officials cannot reorganize their school districts until they find out what Fulton intends to do about units that cross county lines.

Adams County Men Attend Dedication Many Decatur and Adams county men were among the 400 plus guests at the Thursday dedication of Indiana and Michigan Electric company’s massive Breed generating plant. John Welch, George Auer, Ed Hagan, Lester Pettibone and Jack Heller of Decatur, were joined by Art Moeschberger of Monroe, and Carl Luginbill of Berne, to attend the ceremonies. The group left Fort Wayne Wednesday morning in busses furnished by I&M. and traveled to Indianapolis, where they had lunch at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. From the state capital, the busses continued to Terre Haute. Wednesday evening, the Fort Wayne area guests were joined by groups from other parts of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, plus some special guests from New York and New Jersey. Mayor Ralph Tucker, of Terre Haute, welcomed all the I&M officials and guests at a dinner in the Mayflower Room of the Terre Haute Hause. Phillip Spom, president of I&M and five other affiliates of the American Electric Power Co., also welcomed the guests. Spom is the world's highest authority on integrated power complexes. Huge Plant Thursday, the busses took the guests to the Breed plant for tours and the formal dedication. The Breed plant is the world’s largest single unit power plant. While there are other power factories in the country generating more kilowatts, Breed has the largest capacity ofr a single generator plant, and is also the world’s most efficient unit. The boiler in the new plant is twenty-three stories high, contains over 220 miles of tubing in the boil--550 feet high. Construction of .the er alone, and has a smoke stack $71.5 million dollar Breed plant included 63.000 cubic yards of concrete and 6,300 tons of structural steel. The plant will burn 1.4 million tons of coal per year. After ihp dedication dinner, speeches were given by some of the I&M officials, Vance Hartke, Indiana senator, and Sporn, and then Governor Harold Handley formally dedicated the plant. Several of the Decatur men inquired as to the whereabouts of Lester Mitchell, former Decatur man now employed at the Breed plant. Mitchell was on vacation at the time, deer hunting, but several of the officials of the company gave very high praise to the work of Mitchell. The former city plant employe is currently maintenance supervisor of the giant plant, and several I&M men stated that all indications are that he will contig* up the ladder with the com-
