And Away We Go “What’s good for General Motors is good for the United States’’ is a statement that gained quite a bit of publicity a few years back. Without attempting to argue that particular statement, we would like to paraphrase it. What is good for Decatur is good for this newspaper, the store across the street, the store down the block, the businesses on the highway, the doctors and the lawyers. And for good measure, the rest of the residents can be included, too. The First State Bank, at the annual meeting, of officers, added to the optimistic outlook for Decatur in 1961. While they do not look for a “boom” year, they are definitely looking forward to a good business year for Decatur in 1961. And they are not limiting that outlook to the bank’s business. After conversations with many of the merchants and businessmen in town, they feel that 1961 should be a year of continuing growth and profit. That does not mean that Decatur businesses can afford to accept the status quo. No business continues to prosper unless it progresses. In many ways, the Chamber of Commerce, particularly the retail division, can help things considerably. Not so much in what they do, but by the spirit in which they do it. There will be many programs and special events sponsored during the year by the retail division, all aimed at stimulating both interest in Decatur as. a place to visit and shop, and the immediate day or week sales. None of the programs will be perfectly suited to any one store, but instead of picking at the minor points, if everyone gets together and does their share, all of the events will be successful, and everyone will profit in the long run. As one Decatur merchant put it, “it’s more important to have a successful program than to quibble over whether it should be held at 7 or 7:30.” One of the easiest ways to get a reduced nasal passage on Second street is to mention store hours. What the hours are is not as important as what is done during the hours. If business is good during the hours that the stores are open, then all of Decatur is benefited. And good business in any town comes from good cooperation. We have heard people criticize the businessmen of every city, and yet if one would make a check on different stores in different cities, the results would be that merchants are very similar percentage wise. In years past, the Decatur merchants have cooperated on a lot of projects, and the success has been in a direct ratio to the amount of active cooperation. 1961 will be no different. And 1961 looks to be a good year.

They and other natives of Kasai Province are starving in the wake of inter-tribal fighting between the Balubas and the Luluas. Ironic is the appearance of a woman, right, balancing a full basket of food on her head. Fortunately, food and medical aid were available for the emaciated pair at a nearby refugee center,

Many unanswered questions arose among the students. The boys found this

THUBSBAY, JANUARY Mi IMI

The real Christmas is an attitude of mind and heart, without which it is only artificial. You cannot kill time without injurity eternity.
