Sidewalks Needed The request of the Northwest School PTA for sidewalks so that grade school children do not have to walk to school in the middle of heavily-traveled streets focuses attention on a serious, but easily conquered, | problem in Decatur. Many new areas have grown up since the second world war in this city that ar* entirely without walks. Other walks are so broken up by huge tree roots as to present a positive hazard. At the same time, young men and women struggling to keep up their families and still own or purchase their own property do not have sums of S2OO or S3OO to build their own sidewalks. What can be done? Well, there’s the Barrett Law fund, established many years ago, but fallen into disuse in recent years. The Barrett Uiw^established’T^Sty^otating -1 * fund that allowed th* city to loan, for ten years, money to its citizen* to build sidewalks and streets. The city of Decatur could transfer enough money from the sale of the light plant funds into the Barrett fund to build decent sidewalks in all areas of the city. The city could then ascertain where the sidewalks should be built, as is provided by law, and build them, sending the assessments to the land owners. The land owners could either pay in cash, or borrow from the Barrett fund at 6% interest for ten years. Thus, a man who needed S2OO worth of sidewalk could have good, four-foot-wide cement sidewalks built, and pay about S2B a year for ten years. ( i I Almost every family could afford this low payment plan. It would be a hardship on no one. At the same time contractors could put in whole blocks of walks at a much lower cost than putting in just a few feet for individual property owners. We suggest that the city council seriously consider using the Barrett fund. It is time that Decatur had good sidewalks to match its improved streets. Yet not everyone can afford to lay out S2OO or S3OO at one time. Few people could honestly object to a low-payment plan for building walks. Some people might object, just as the businessmen once objected when in the 1880’s Mayor Merriman insisted that the city main street buildings be built of fireproof brick and stone, rather than wood. Now the wisdom of such a plan is universaly realized. editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

1 , Negro Students In North White School

NEW ROCHELLE. N.Y. (UPDThc first court-ordered transfer of sgidents from a predominantly Negro school in the North to other schools was carried out her* today without incident or opposition, setting a pattern which may extend to the entire northern United States. A total of 287 Negro students from the Lincoln Elementary School, which was 94 per cent Negro last year, transferred by request to 11 predominantly white schools this morning as the result of a historic ruling by Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman last Jan. 24. The parents of eight Lincoln school students brought the “segregation” case to court. Many of the Negroes travelled as far as five miles to enroll, rather than attend the Lincoln school which is situated in New Rochelle's Negro district. Only 187 students remained at the Lincoln school where classrooms were more than half empty. The school is now 90 per cent Negro. The scene at the Roosevelt Elementary School, where six children of African U.N. delegates had been the only previous Negro students, was typical. A chartered bus loaded with 80 Negro children rolled up and the children entered without causing the slightest stir among their new white classmates. There were no extra poliee and no crowds. "They’re just a* equal as we are and they are just as smart as we are," said Roger Fookes, a 10-year-old white fourth grade student. "I sure think it’s okay for them to come in.” The transfer did not mean that New Rochelle schools were being integrated. They already were. Assignment of students to public schools in this wealthy, upper middle class suburb of New York has been done on a neighborhood basis —traditional in all northern states —so that almost all schools had a few Negro students. The New Rochelle Board of Education, which has opposed Kaufman’s ruling in long drawn-out court proceedings, contends that each community has the right to decide the method of student placement. It has challenged the constitutionality of court-ordered placement in an appeal to the Supreme Court. "If this decision is allowed to stand, the courts—not the school boards—win be running the public school systems,” said Board President Merryle Stanley Rukeyser. New York City voluntarily worked out a plan for transfer, of students from predominantly Negro schools last year. Chicago schools refused Wednesday to transfer 225 Negro children from overcrowded predominantly Negro schools, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People promised a court battle to force the school board to change its policy. Knights Os Columbus To Install Officers Monday evening the Decatur council 864. Knights of Columbus, will hold formal installation for the 1961-62 officers. District deputy Bob Christy will be present for the installation. Guests from the Garrett and Fort Wayne councils will likewise attend. To be installed are Donald Heimann, grand knight; Robert Siting, deputy grand knight; Joseph Gremaux. recording secretary; William Lose, Jr., treasurer: Elmer Wendell, chancellor; Milo Clay, advocate; Walter Savieo, warden: James Baker and Donald Kieffer, guards. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Stolen Vehicle Is Found On Wednesday Dr. Joe Morris' 1958 Mercury station wagon; stolen from his home at 1718 W. Monroe street shortly after 7 p. m. ■ Tuesday, was found < abandoned in the Yost’s woods housing development about 1:30 p. m. Wednesday. State trooper Dan Kwasneski had the abandoned car impounded and state detective Walter Schindler was scheduled to dust the vehicle for fingerprints. The car will be thoroughly checked by Schindler and local authorities for any possible clues to the thief who boldly drove it from the garage at the Morris home Tuesday evening. As of this morning, authorities had some possible leads to the thief who abducted the car and abandoned it a short time later, but nothing is yet definite. There is still no definite connection with the hitchhiker whom Kwasneski spotted a short time before the auto was stolen. The man, who was walking along U. S. 27, just south of Decatur, fled when Kwasneski stopped to question him. The sheriff and city police departments helped Kwasneski in searching the woods where the hitchhiker disappeared, but no trace was found of him. The car Was stolen a short time later. o Two-Car Accident Reported Wednesday A two-car accident at 4:45 p.m. Wednesday on U. S. 33, at the old country club drive, damaged only one car.

Titan Firing Shows Weapon Ready For Use CAPE CANAVERAL (UPD - The United States will announce within a few weeks it has a silvery projectile capable of turning a city halfway across the world into a radioactive junkpile on 30 minutes’ notice. America’s leaders will not use those exact words. They will simply report the Air Force Titan intercontinental ballistic missile has become operational as a military weapon. Titan, built with two stages, looks like a rifle bullet standing 98 feet tall. Slender and silvery, it is one of America’s most beautiful rockets. It also is the free world’s deadliest. Remember, for a moment, the movies you have seen of the A-bomb destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Multiply that mental image by roughly 250, and you begin to get a picture of the nuclear devastation a single Titan could wreak. The nose cone of a Titan isn’t huge. One man can fit comfortably inside it. So can one nuclear bomb. Wednesday night, only hours after the Soviet Union had triggered its fourth atomic blast wtthtn a week, the Air Force Sent the mighty Titan thundering into the sky on its 38th military test flight. A half-hour later, a brilliant flash lighted up the skies above St. Helena Island off the coast of South Africa, 6,100 miles southeast of this missile firing center. This was the Titan's nose cone, burrowing back through earth’s atmosphere at 17,000 miles per hour. Seconds later, the red-hot nose slammed into the water, dead on target. Just before it hit, a small data capsule was ejected. Recovery forces snatched it from the water less than 1% hours later.

Indiana Stale Fair Will Close Tonight INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Booster farmers by the hundreds turned! out today for the windup of the 109th Indiana State Fair. Feature of Farmers’ Day, final event of the nine-day fair, was a two-hour morning parade at the fairgrounds grandstand. Taking part were bands from rural schools and floats and exhibits by various farm organizations. Governor Welsh was to speak briefly at the ceremonies and view the parade. Also on tap today were the finals of the fair’s rooster-crowing contest, the “old fashioned quilting bee,” and the competition for the largest cornstalk and sunflower. The fair’s grand circuit harness racing program also wound up today with the runoff heat in Wednesday’s $55,635 Fox Stake for two-year-old pacers. The third heat of the race was postponed Wednesday because of a driving rain which made the mile oval too hazardous for racing. The late afternoon rain sent fair-goers scurrying for cover but did little to cut attendance and the Wednesday crowd was described as “good” although it was down considerably from those which thronged the fairgrounds over the holiday, weekend. Total attendance at the fair which began Aug. 30 and winds up tonight is expected to be at least 800,000. And the latecomers will be assured of seeing everything. The Fair Board warned Wednesday that all exhibits must remain in place until tonight. In the past, many .exhibits have been removed early on closing day. NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE MIDDAY PRICES A.
