A North School Unit (Part I)

Those of us who live in the proposed north school unit — Preble, Root, and Union townships, Decatur, and the north two tiers of sections in Washington township, should begin now seriously considering what advantages all of our children can gain by the proposed district. First of all, assessed valuation. One cent on the levy will raise about $2,400 to $2,500 a year. This is a very good amount — half of the assessed valuation in the county. It will mean that the unit can support good schools. And what about the schools? For one thing, it will mean kindergarten for all of the five-year-old students. Kindergarten means a two-month head-start in learning in the first grade. The first grade is the most important grade in school — if children learn to read well, they can get their future lessons easily. Kindergarten provides the training necessary so that they pay attention, can count, and know their letters when school starts. Second, is Northcentral Association of Colleges and Secondary School approval. This is vital for those hoping to go on to college. Those from schools without it have two strikes on them when they start post-high-school education. This will not be automatic, and it brings up a touchy question. But the question cannot and should « not be avoided. Should Monmouth be continued as a high school for another five or six years, more or less as is, without Northcentral approval, or should it be immediately consolidated, with the entire high school going to Decatur and the entire seventh and eighth grade from the whole unit going to Monmouth? We think that it is reasonable to allow the people in the north three townships to decide this for themselves. But we think that a new high school unit, for the 10th. 11th, and 12th grades, should be constructed as soon as possible. This should be an entirely new high school, at a new location, neither at Decatur or Monmouth, but at a convenient adjacent site where plenty of land is available for growth — perhaps even 40 acres or so. The new unit might be called Decatur-Monmouth high school, or Monmouth-Decatur high school, or by some completely new name, such as North Adams high school. In fact, few people in Decatur would object at all if the the county study commission would change the name of the proposed school district from Decatur Community Schools to North Adams Community Schools. Since Monmouth is so crowded, and since the people of Decatur wish to show that they are not at all opposed to the Monmouth school site, it might even be .feasible to propose a new addition to the Monmouth school to provide adequate kindergarten space and classroom space for a good elementary school. The people of Preble, Root, and Union townships can expect the Decatur people to go the limit in being fair. Many of us have wives, husbands, parents or grandparents who came from the north three townships. We understand the special problems there far better than some would have you believe.

Slight Drop Foreseen In Farm Income Net incomes of Indiana farmers in tne next 12 mon tbs probably . will drop slightly, Edward Carson, Puraue University agricultural economist, said Friday mgat at the Adams-Weils county iao2 outlook meeting. Adams and Wells county farmers and business men attended the meeting, one of 58 being heid throughout the state. Purdue agricultural economists each autumn give their views on the economic outlook for farming from the short, intermediate and long range stand-points. uuisuu saiu sugutly smaller net mu.a.ia ImCaii iiivoiues wuutu icauii pruuaiiiy uom lower proope«.uve nog aua poumy prices. xxei Incomes 101 U. o. larmers piuoaoiy win average aooui uie same as last year, me econopust asserted, ne pointed out mat lower nog prices nave more impact on Hoosier larm income smce nog sales matte up a mucn nigner per cent oi tne total Indiana larm income. buosiamiai expansion in general busmess activity is expected in the year ahead, according to Carson. This upswing means to Indiana farmers; "Gif farm employment will be less difficult to find . Hired farm help will probably be a little less plentiful ana wage rates may be slightly higher. "Prices of farm production items will probably increase slightly . . An increasing number of Indiana farm operators wiil become part-time farmers and more farm wives will find off farm employment. “The business upturn will mean only a slightly stronger demand for farm products. However, the business upturn plus population increase should raise total demand for farm products about two per cent in the year ahead.” '‘For highest profits in the year ahead one should strive for efficient operation of the farming system that is well adapted to his conditions,” the economist oh-, sferved. ‘'This will require high production rates, an adequate volume of business and strict attention to buying and selling operations.” Here is the economist’s analysis of the Hoosier outlook: CORN—Modest profit may be expected from corn storage operations. Average Indiana farm price for No. 2 corn pt harvest should range from 90 cents to $1 a bushel, rising gradually to sl.lO-81.20 next summer in corn surplus areas and 10 to 20 cents higher in corn ..deficit areas. SOYBEANS—OnIy modest profits are expected from soybean storage operations this fall. The soybean crop is very large compared to past crops. Prices are expected to average above the loan rate of $2.30 a bushel, but considerably below last year. HOGS—With increased marketings in prospect, hog prices are expected to average $1 to $3 lower than the $17.74 iall barrows and gilts at Indianapolis) for the 1960-61 marketing year . . Average or better hog producers generally should feel justified in raising at least their usual number of pigs that will be marketed by mid-1962. BEEF CATTLE — Cattle numbers are expected to continue their cyclical expansion during the coming year with resulting larger marketings and weakening prices. Fat cattle prices will average a little lower . . Beef herd operators can expect somewhat lower prices for feeder cattle over the next few years. SHEEP— Substantial improvement in the returns from ewe;

County Farm Bureau Meets Friday Night Officers of the Adams county Farm Bureau have completed arrangements for their annual meetihg to be held at the Adams Central school cafeteria at 7:30 p. m., Friday. Mrs. Lois Cross, for many years active in Farm Bureau work and at present the second vice president of the Indiana Farm Bureau, will be the main speaker for the occasion. Officers for 1962 will be elected, and there will be a report from the county policy execution committee, as well as reports from the commodity committees. As in former years, the county organization is giving a grand door prize, a 1962 membership in Indiana Farm Bureau. Urged To Attend All members are urged to attend and participate in the election of new officers. The nominating committee, with Sam Kaehr as chairman, has nominated the following for officers: Chairman, Erwin F. Fuelling and Hugh D. Moser; vice chairman, Homer Winteregg and Herman Bleeke; secretary-treasurer, Carlton C. Steiner and Glen Dubach; F. B. W. leader, Mrs. Orval Neuenschwander and Mrs. Dale Plough; assistant F.B.W. leader, Mrs. Harrison Miller and Mrs. Nolan Boerger; pet and hobby leader, Mrs. Oscar Miller and Miss Icel Shanks. The Limberlost Lads, a quartet of young men from the Pleasant Mills area, and who received their training from the late Mrs. Elmer Ehrsam, will furnish entertainment. Recognition will be given to retiring county leaders, and refreshments will be served. The Rev. H. D. Rich, pastor of the Pleasant Valley church, will give the devotions. Driver Is Arrested On Speeding Charge Patrick Doran Raudenbush, 18, route 1, Monroe, will appear in justice of the peace court at 9 o'clock this evening to answer to a charge of speeding levied against him bv the city police department Monday night. Raudenbush was arrested at 10:45 p. m. for traveling 45 miles per hour in a 30 mile an hour zone of S. Thirteenth street. flocks is not expected in the near future. Lower feeder lamb prices and prospects for stronger prices of fed lambs make for a better profit situation for lamb feeders than during the past year. DAIRY—Net income to Indiana dairymen will be up one to four per cent in 1962. EGGS — Returns from laying flocks are expected to be substantially less favorable . . The trend toward large commercial producing units will continue. BROILERS — Prices for much of the remainder of 1961 will remain near their recent record low levels. A cutback in supply may improve prices during the first part of 1962. TURKEYS—OnIy slight seasonal price increase is expected this fall. For 1962—continued large production and little change in prices from 1961. PRODUCTION ITEM PRICES —Production items, wages, taxes and interest are expected to average one to three per cent higher than during the past year. Farm real estate taxes are expected to show the largest increase. FARM REAL ESTATE-Steady to slightly higher land values are expected for next year. Prices for better grades of land will tend to rise more than prices for land which is less productive.

UttH UMIS M Public Notice By James E. Follard ‘‘John Doe (No. 8 in a Series) As a social item a Down East weekly newspaper some time ago reported that “Robert G. N. . . . announces the marriage of his mother, Mrs. Florence S. N. . . . to Mr. Harold H. H ” etc. In itself, this was not unusual except that the announcement was made by the son. Ordinarily such announcements are made by parents, if living, or by a brother or sister, if any. Long established custom has decreed other kinds of personal and social announcemtns. One of the most common of these is a birth announcement. Another is when an engagement occurs or, in business and professional life, when a partnership is formed or there is a move to a new location. These personal announcements are somewhat on the same order as public notices, which are provided by law. Only there are many more kinds of the latter and they often concern or affect more people, particularly where their rights or interests are involved, as is usually the case. Long experience has shown that the newspaper of paid general circulation is the best general medium for public notices. The bona fide newspaper gives wide coverage and at minimum cost. This is why the laws of all 50 states provide for many kinds of public notices to be given in this manner. The public notice is part of due process and helps to contribute to the democratic process.
