And Turn Them Loose Monday was a nice day for the school children of Decatur, as they received an Easter holiday from classes. One young man almost received a permanent injury through no fault of his own. It was the result of a carelessly handled B-B gun. Some local boys were playing along the river south of town near the old Country Club. There were also some boys on the other side of the river, playing with B-B guns. Somehow, a stray shot got across the river, and hit one of the boys on the east side of the river right above the eye. Fortunately, there was no danger other than a lump on the forehead and a slight break in the skin. Had the pellet hit an inch or two lower, though, the young man would have very probably lost the use of one eye. A B-B gun can be a fine thing for a boy. It can teach him the proper use of firearms, and prepare him for that day when he can added recreation from either target shooting or hunting. A B-B gun is not, however, a toy. It can be a dangerous weapon when used by a small boy as a play gun. The boy that shot the B-B gun Monday probably had no idea that there was anyone on the other side of the river. But the best way to shoot any kind of gun is with a background behind the target to receive the shot in case of a miss. A B-B gun, like a regular gun or an automobile, demands the acceptance of a certain amount of responsibility — on the part of both the parent and the receiver. • •.» ' • * Sunrise In The Movie Industry There has been considerable condemnation of the moving picture recently because of the low grade of some of their productions. The public is, in a sense, A looking away from its television set long enough to say “ha, ha, it serves you right”. But there are some things that cause one to wonder. “Sunrise At Campobelle”, a very fine movie dealing with the personal courage of an American president, will soon be shown in Decatur. The play by the same name was an outstanding success on * Broadway and on the theater circuit. The movie, at least from all of the criticisms, is as good or even better than the play. It will be interesting to see how the picture is accepted throughout the country. That the moving picture industry has brought forth some real lemons is a fact. But they are also still producing some very fine pictures in Hollywood. It will be enlightening to follow the careers of some of the better movies to see if the public is really concerned over the quality of pictures, or whether they merely < want a belated excuse for their fickleness toward the different segments of the world of entertainment.

Held For Kidnaping Illinois Policeman CHICAGO HEIGHTS. 111. (UPI) Walter E. Joseph, 21, Wilmington, Del., was held here on an open charge today after kidnaping a Chicago Heights policeman and fleeing to Indiana where he was captured when the officer crashed his squad ear. .• — - — — Police said the filing of charges was held up pending further investigation into Joseph’s record. They said Joseph was AWOL since Jan. 31 from Ft. Campbell, Ky., and was also wanted for passing bad checks. It all started Monday when Joseph attempted to cash a check at the First National Bank of Chicago Heights. Unknown to him, the check had been reported stolen and a suspicious teller called police. When policemen Basil Ziccardi and Sgt. Frank Stec arrived, Joseph pulled a gun and disarmed the two officers, forcing Ziccardi to accompany him in the police car and leaving Stec standing in the street. Moments later Stec hailed a passing Illinois State Police car, told the driver to radio for help, and the chase was on. Joseph and the stolen car with Ziccardi driving were spotted on U.S. 30 going through Dyer, Ind., by Dyer policeman. Roland Restle who entered the chase at speeds up to 90 miles per hour. About a mile out of Dyer, at the intersection of U.S. 30 and U.S. 41, Ziccardi swerved to avoid hitting a truck and purposely crashed into a ditch. When Restle came upon the scene, he found Joseph and the officer fighting for the gun. Joseph was returned to Chicago Heights where the FBI was called into the case because the kidnap victim was taken over state lines.

The People’s Voice This column is lor the use of our readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good or discuss questions of interest No articles will be published without signature of the author. o ■ o Dog Poisoned About two weeks ago our dog was one of many to die of poisoning in our neighborhood. True, the dog was loose, but not causing any damage to any one. But that is not the point. When will all this stop? Probably not with the death of a dog or a cat, but maybe with the death of a small child too young to realize he should not pick things up outside. It could happen and what's to prevent it? The police department is unable to keep constant watch on every street and alley in the city. Only the thoughtless people who are deliberately putting this poison out can prevent such a disaster. Could you sleep with that on your conscience? I appeal to you as a mother to keep your poison where it belongs. If a dog or cat is destroying your property call the authorities and let them handle it. We can replace a cat or a dog but can we replace our children? Sincerely, Mrs. Robert D. Shoup 1221 Mix Avenue Decatur, lad. JB Lawrence E. Mills, 17, son of Mrs. Margaret Mills, 104 W. Monroe street, was enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps for a period of four years, it was announced today by SSgt. M. L. Agee, Marine recruiter for Adams county. Using the Marine delay plan which allows a young man to delay his departure up to 120 days. Mills has selected July 5 as the day he will leave for San Diego, Calif. This will allow him to graduate from Decatur Catholic high school, where he is a senior. SSgt. Agee states he can be located at the local selective service office each Thursday morning to give out information on the Marines to interested young men.

Job Prospects To College Graduates

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This te the second of two dispatches on the job prospects of college seniors as business and industry recruiting campaigns on campuses hit their peak.) By EVERETT R. IRWIN United Press International Employers are skimming off the cream of the crop of college graduates this spring. Recruiters visiting campuses across the nation are emphasizing the graduating senior’s grade point average much more than at any other time in recent years. They are seeking out youths in the top one-third, one-quarter or even the upper 10 per cent of their class. And they are giving the play to graduates with specialized fields over students who show only a broad, general education. In a year when many college placement officers report a “soft” job situation, graduates in the lower half of their class and liberal arts students with no specialty are finding the job hunting difficult. These general trends showed up repeatedly in reports from placement officials of 76 colleges and universities to United Press International. They were reflected, too, in checks made by UPI reporters with dozens of state and private employment agencies from coast to coast. Pay Keeps Rising But the survey also showed that despite fewer jobs for graduates in many areas, starting salaries will continue their upward trend this recession year. * In general, 1961 graduates appear to be signing up at 2 to 5 per cent higher pay than their 1960 predecessors. Engineering graduates command almost double the starting salary of 1950 graduates, Northwestern University reported. Dozens of schools surveyed by UPI said recruiters are seeking interviews only with students in the top one-fourty or one-third of their class. Harold Dreher of Cleveland, president of Dreher Employment Service and president of the National Employment Association, said jobs definitely are fewer. “It’s not going to be easy for the liberal arts major,” he said. “This, is a world of specialists." Spokesmen for the University of Oregon and the Michigan Emj ployment Security Commission expressed belief that, although the economy is soft at the moment,

IN AMERICA’S BIGGEST,TOUGHEST 1961 ECONOMY CONTEST...

Which man drove Rambler?

In the most realistic test of all-around gasoline economy ever staged—the NASCAR sanctioned 1961 Pure Oil Economy Trials at Daytona—Rambler won three trophies, held by driver Les Viland in the photo above. No other make won more than one award .. . most won none. Unlike other runs that put a premium on feather-footed driving, the Pure Oil Economy Trials closely parallel your own everyday driving experience. Every U.S.-built production car is eligible. None are arbitrarily barred, as in some runs. In 1961, 145 cars representing all 5 U.S. makers competed. Rambler American Custom with overdrive beat them all to win the cherished Overall Winner Trophy and captured the Class 6 trophy in competition with Falcon, Corvair, Lark and Tempest 4. In fact, it took the first 6 places and 8 of the first 10.

some firms are looking ahead to the future—trying to “fill their pipelines” with potential executives they might not be able to hire when competition for graduates is more intense. Training Programs On the other hand, several placement officials reported that companies were paring down their young executive training programs. Most placement bureaus reported engineering graduates—particularly electrical and electronic engineers—most in demand. They’re followed closely by science specialists—physicists and chemists — and by mathematicians and afr; countants. At the University of Texas, the demand for teachers is up more than 100 per cent over last year. California teacher recruiters are offering $2,500 a year above Texas levels and have invaded states as far away as Georgia. Beginning engineers are being hired at an average monthly wage of $520 at Northwestern University, $550 to S6OO at George Washington University and Catholic University, $525 at the University of Kansas and around $6,000 a year in the New York City area. Science and mathematics specialists are commanding SSOO to $525 at Western Reserve University, $485 to $585 at Schenectady’s Union College and are “writing their own ticket” on jobs monitored by the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. Starting pay for accountants ranges from $450 at the University of Texas and University of Oregon to $650 a month at Syracuse University. Business administration graduates across the nation generally are being offered from S4OO to $550 a month, the UPI survey showed, while the average graduate in liberal arts is settling for I S4OO to $450 or going on to graduate school.

And Ambassador V-8 by Rambler won its Class, swept the first 8 places and 9 of the first 10 spots. With speeds up to 65, and averaging more than 40 M.P.H., the winning Rambler American made 14 complete stops, shifted through the gears 15 times while circling the 3.7 mile course, and still averaged 26.86 miles per gallon! This is the second straight year Rambler won the Pure Oil Economy Trials. Want more proof of Rambler value? Then see your Rambler dealer. You’ll find top gas economy is just part of your savings. Rambler costs less to buy, is voted most trouble-free by owners, has top resale value. Rambler dealers sell twice as many compact cars per dealer as most other dealer groups. So, you get a better deal ... on the best of the compacts. Rambler— world standard of compact car excellence.

| Modern Etiquette By B*ertu q How do I tip a Pullman porter ni A ht For a very'short ride, say two' to three hours, tip the j»rter at least 25 cents— even if he has performed no special ServiceOvernight it is usually a minimum of 50 cents per night and as much as a dollar if there has been much baggage that he has to handle in making up your berth and in getting you off the train. Q. When you use a lace tablecloth, do you lay it directly over the table or on a table pad — and also, is a lace tablecloth ever used with a colored lining? A. You use a lace tablecloth directly over the bare table. As the lace design is decoration enough, it is in better taste not to put it over a colored lining. Q. When I take out my girl friend who is considerably shorter than I, and it begins to rain, should I let her carry the umbrella and I walk out in the rain, or should I attempt to hold it over her in spite of the disparity in our heights?
