The Question Os Leadership Community leadership, contrary to many other phases of our life, has taken a trend away from the government. There was a lengthy period in American history when the leadership of a community was expected from a local city government. A portion of this leadership still comes from our local government, but many things have changed over the past 20 years to alter the picture. The biggest change has been in the complicated procedure of running a city. Due to the myriad laws, ordinances and regulations, present city administrations are just that — they are more administrators than program developers. The city governments of today, in cities of any size, have to depend on the citizens to provide the leadership in many phases of city life. The city government can, in turn, take these ideas and projects, and administrate them, set up the necessary machinery, and put them in action. But, in many areas, the initial push has to come from the citizens. This should be good news to those who constantly bemoan the fact that “big government” is taking home rule away from us, bit by bit. In fact, it should be good news for every citizen. In many cases, however, it is not good news, because it means that those citizens are going to have to get out from in front of their television sets for a few evenings each week and do a little work. Even worse, they are going to have to do some thinking, too. It would be interesting to run a ten-year average attendance by interested citizens at city council meetings, board of zoning and school board meetings. It would also be disappointing. There is only one reason why these meetings and every other meeting of a city board or council is not held in the high school auditorium to accomodate the crowd -r and that is public apathy. And yet, that same public will growl because a “few big wheels” are running things. If a crowd of fifty or a hundred interested people show up at any sort of public board meeting and give a proposal, one of two things will happen. Either it wilt be explained in detail why the proposal is impossible due to existing laws or impractical economically, or it will be hastily adopted. These boards are merely representatives of the people, and are there to perform the will of the public as nearly as possible under the laws of the city and state. They also have a responsibility to perform these tasks with as low a tax rate as possible without slighting the wants of the public. But, to do the will of the people, they have to know that will. Otherwise, they can only go on their best judgment. Editorial Writer Today John G. Heller

—"T ? l**"" 1 — Four Accidents In City Over Weekend Four accidents occurred in De- * catur over the weekend, all on e Sunday, with two drivers being ’• arrested.

Arthur James Hurst, 52, route 3, Decatur, was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital * for treatment, following an ac- > cident at 9:42 a. m. Sunday, 5 when he struck two parked cars ■ on N.

Damages were estimated at SSOO to Hurst’s car, 375 to the Barnett car, and 3700 to the Earhart vehicle. Raymond John Solga, 43, Fort Wayne, was unable to pay a fine levied against him in city court this morning, and was returned to the Adams county jail. Solga was arrested for driving while under the influence, causing an accident at 6:38 p. m. Sunday. Solga was traveling east on Nuttman Ave., arid a car operated by James Lee Hart, 25, route 3, Decatur, was westbound. Solga crossed the center line, and Hart veered into the opposite lane of traffic to try and avoid the Solga car. Solga, however, turned back into his lane and hit the Hart vehicle at the Eleventh street intersection. Under the Influence Solga was arrested for driving while under the influence. He pleaded guilty to the charge in city court this morning, and was fined SIOO and costs, a total of $118.75. He was unable to pay the fine and was returned to jail.

■ 1 F*” Preparing Annual Booklet Os Donors j The midwest chapter of the - national hemophilia foundation, . which encompasses the states of . Illinois, lowa, Indiana, Wisconsin and western Michigan, is prepare ing to print its annual donors . booklet. The booklet is the means I whereby the foundation raises . funds for continued research into , the problems and cures of hemos philiacs, or “bleeders.” j In to awarding grants t for studies in hemophilia and related subjects, the foundation also maintains a program of medical education through the disseminai tion of approved medical reprints t to doctors of medicine and dentis- [ try, distribution of books on hemophilia and other hemorrhagic di- . seases to medical school and hos- ; pital libraries, and assistance to I families of hemophiliacs. ■ Another work of the foundation ' is to learn of all the suffers of I hemophilia within the area, so that information can be passed on to • them, and help given when needed. Hemophilia is the medical term I for the affliction that prevents the ; blood of certain people from coagulating properly.

Any larger cut can be extremely serious and even fatal to a hemophiliac. Anyone interested in learning more about the disease, enrolling the name of a known hemophiliac with the foundation, or subscribing to the booklet can write to the Midwest Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation, 1179 Board of Trade Building, 141 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago 4, 111., or contact Walter Moellering, rural route one, Decatur.
