Jack Reich, executive vice president of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, asked each community a very embarrassing question Tuesday when he spoke at a 7-county development meeting. “Do yow need a new industry, or do you need to revamp your downtown and area businesses to attract the spending of those already employed from your community?” Now there is no doubt that Decatur can use a new industry — the number of unemployed, most of them unskilled or semi-skilled, or with a skill of diminishing use, is running nearly 200, about 5% of our work force. Thi« includes numerous area people, as well as just those in Decatur. But doesn’t some of the trouble lie with us, ourselves? Is it all someone else’s fault, or do we share the blame? Perhaps the time has come for us to swallow some of our past mistakes, and start over. All of us have made mistakes, and let him who is blameless cast the first stone.. But if Decatur merchants do not get solidly, to a man, behind the new retail division of the Chamber, and support its majority decisions, Decatur will become a dying town, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it It is time that Decatur merchants faced up to the fact that their competition does not lie across the street, or down the block — it lies in the bigger stores in Fort Wayne and nearby shopping centers. The only answer to this is a larger, not smaller, inventory. Decatur stores must have the goods that people want on hand, or be willing to immediately send for it. And retailers must spend more time agreeing and helping each other than they spend in biting each other’s backs. Otherwise, the entire group of city merchants suffers. Reich gave a good example. One Hoosier city that thought it needed a new industry took a survey. It discovered that of its total payroll of $9 million, 97 million was spent in neighboring towns, and even the farmers that borrowed money la their city spent it elsewhere! Decatur merchants are now on the right track. They have reorganized, and are preparing to really work together. Every person is needed. Everyone should take part. If there is something that is going on that you object to, let the officers know, so they can straighten it out. They are a bunch of hard-workers who will go all the way. Let’s live up the merchant’s motto, and really “Make Decatur Greater.” There’s no better time than the present to do it.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - The Hoosier tomato crop la continuing to show a high yield and the harvest is likely to continue until the first killing frost, the Indiana Employment Security Division reported today. The division, which assists growers with placement of farm laborers. said more tomato pickers “could be used” in many areas, despite an increase last week of out-of-area workers to 9,623 from 9,338 the previous week. The apple harvest is in full swing in the southern sector of the state, but just starting in the extreme northern sector, the division said. The lima bean harvest is approximately 75 per cent complete. The division reported the croplabor picture by areas as follows. Gary—Labor supply and demand in balance. Tomato harvest nearing peak.

Session Reminded One Os Bull Run By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Some of our poetic-minded congressmen are fond of saying that something or other reminds them of “Tennyson’s brook" — meaning, suppose, that it babbies on and on. In that context, the 1961 session of Congress was itself a bit like Tennyson’s eternal stream. Frankly, however, it reminded me more of Bull Run. For one reason or another, our lawgivers this year had more trouble than usual reaching the point where all 500-odd would stop talking simultaneously. Get the House silenced long enough for someone to proadjournment and oratory would break out in the Senate. Or the other way around. Then both would start talking at once again. One Os Longest Sessions This resulted in one of the longest peacetime sessions on record, give or take Rep. Noah M. Mason.

Mason, an Illinois Republican and non-conformist, ritually adheres to the 1946 Reorganization Act which set the adjournment of Congress for the end of July except when the President declared an emergency. As he puts it, “I have been automatically adjourning myself for 15 years.” This year, however, even the lone adjourner backslid. He adjourned himself as usual on the (first of August but reconvened himself in September and remained in session until the bitter end.

You could tell Mason was bitter because when his name was sounded in a quorum call last Saturday he answered: “Here — under protest.” We journalists customarily refer to closing days of Congress as the “adjournment rush.” It would be more accurate, however, to say that this session just sort of trailed off. Adjournment Betting Pools A number of the more impatient members departed prematurely, but without the formality of adjourning themselves. They either had dates to go on junkets or else were in a hurry to start explaining things to the folks back home. Although it may not mean much to people 10 miles away from the District of Columbia, in the capital itself the adjournment of Congress is a big thing. A lot of money rides on it. Toward the end of summer, betting pools begin springing up all over town. The winners are the ones who come closest to guessing the date and hour of adjournment. The longevity of this year’s session confounded most of the actuaries who participate in these pools. As the end drew near, only the long shots were still in the running. Hie trouble was that most of us sought to keep ourselves informed on the prospects for adjournment by heeding the utterances of the congressional leaders. We would have done better to have consulted Las Vegas. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
