We returned today from a two-week vacation that took us over a large area of Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan, some of our nearest neighbor states. Some ideas, based on what we have seen in those states might be of interest to the people of Decatur. Os great interest to anyone interested in going from state to state is the progress being made in the great, new interstate highway program. Ohio has a large part of its interstate freeway completed, and they provide a fine way to travel. Michigan should finish its interstate 75 from Lansing north to the straits of Mackinac by the late fall. This will mean four-lane highways most of the way north, paralleling present highway 27, which is nearly bumper-to-bumper with traffic to Sault Ste. Marie from Lansing, both north and south. Indiana, of course, b finally beginning to make progress on its interstate program, principally interstate 69 which will connect, eventually, Lansing with Indianapolis by four-lane highway, passing west of Decatur near Markle. This program has been greatly speeded up by Gov. Welsh, whose interest in the highway program was shown during his campaign. Two interesting things were noticed concerning Michigan cities about the size of Decatur. First, most of them had a coordinated beautification project, such as trees in the sidewalks, or flower baskets hanging from the lampposts, or each business with growing flowers in similar containers in front of every store. Also, most of the Michigan cities had laws, posted on each entry to the city, forbiding parking during part of the night, such as from midnight to six or from 2 to 6 a.m. This cleared the streets of cars so that the streets could be cleaned, so that a _ closer eye could be kept on the community by the police, and prevents, apparently, the abandoning of cars on the city streets. Tie conscious efforts of the state of Michigan to present a coordinated system of planned tourist attractions, coupled with adequate camping and motel space, and interspersed with some beautiful state parks, is quite noticeable. With people on the move, more and more camping and traveling, and with more leisure time, sightseeing is becoming a national preoccupation. Indiana is not planning ahead at the present time to get its share. People will pass right through this state, which is very rich in Indian, French, and British history from 1680 to 1812, and in pioneer data, as well as prehistoric Indian culture, and geologic interest, and never know that these things fixist here. It’s time for Indiana to plan on a state-wide basis, to take advantage of the potential travelers going north, south, east and west THROUGH Indiana, and get them to visit IN Indiana. Development of state parks in lake areas, and an increased knowledge of our rich historic traditions, are sadly needed. It could easily mean a billion dollar tourist business for the state, if properly handled. Lakes, hills, rivers, and streams exist in Indiana which are every bit as pretty as those in other areas, and provide a flora and fauna found only hero. The dunes area, now being advanced as a combined recreation and industrial area, is only one of hundreds of possible sites, not excluding Adams county’s own Limberlost area. The time has come for some fast action, deep thinking, and hard work, or Indiana will fall even further behind its neighbors. While we are only pointing out in this article some of the positive things that can be gained from visiting and viewing other states, quite a few things were seen that were years behind our own local development, and of these things we can be quite proud.

Vacation la Over

Three Youths Attend Conservation Camp Three Adams county youths left Sunday for a week at the Oliver lake conservation camp In LaGrange county. Limberlost camp is owned and operated by Purdue University and has been made available to residents of Indiana for varied educational interests and activities. The three youths, James Heimann of Decatur, Lynn Burry and Robert Chilcote of Berne, won admission to the camp by competing in an essay contest conducted by the Adams county council of conservation clubs. Title of the essay was “What wildlife means to me.” Ths boys are sponsored by the clubs through the county conservation council. The purpose of this camp is to promote and perpetuate soil conservation, water conservation, forestry and wildlife, and conservation in general in the state, to advance knowledge concerning wildlife and conservation by educating the youth of Indiana in soils, soil and water conservation, forestry and wildlife, and the means of perpetuating the same. Twelve counties in Northeastern Indiana are reached by this camp, and in five years 368 boys from the ages of 12 to 15 have received training in conserving natural resources. The teaching staff and supervisors of the camp are all qualified by training and experience to handle a group of boys and direct their thinking in the important subject of conserving natural resources, not only for the present but future generations. Man Is Fined For Assault, Battery A total fine of $42 was levied by Judge John B. Stults against Louis Stetler, 31, 601 Indiana street, in city court this morning, on a charge of assault and battery. Judgment on a second charge of disorderly conduct was withheld for the present, as Stetler also received a six months suspended sentence for the assault and battery charge. Early Sunday Stetler was arrested at 4 a. m. Sunday at his home, after his wife had roused prosecutor Severin H. Schurger from his home to sign an affidavit. ( In court, Mirs. Stetler stated that her husband had come home about 2:30 o’clock Sunday morning. and they became involved in an argument and he began beating her. She explained he ejected her from the house, and it was then she went to the police station and called the prosecutor.
