but since theft must alse be eaV ihg, you can only attive to combine the two in pleasantly alternating intervals. Q. When someone to whom you have been introduced says, “I am so glad to have met you,” isn’t

a smile of acknowledgment sufficient? A. I shouldn’t think so, since it would seem to have a condescend* ing air about it. It is much better to accompany the smile with a “thank you.”

County Road Safely Meet Held Tuesday PORTLAND, Ind. — Methods of dealing with the increasing accident rate on county roads were topics of discussion at a meeting of county commissioners, county auditors, and county highway supervisors with representatives from Purdue University held here Tuesday. This one-day meeting on county road safety was called for road officials from Huntington, Wells, Adams, Blackford, Jay, Delaware, Randolph, Henry and Wayne counties. ■ ' Jean Hittie, highway engineer from Purdue, led the discussions at the meeting. While a wide variety of problems on road safety were discussed the main theme of the meeting was traffic signing programs for county roads. Hittie emphasized that new state legislation requires all of the 92 Indiana county highway departments to designate a preferential system of county roads and then to mark these preferential roads with STOP signs at intersections with other county roads. It was also pointed out that all traffic signs must conform to the standard sizes, shapes and colors set for in the Indiana state highway departments manual on uniform traffic control devices. This meeting was conducted under the sponsorship of the highway extension and research project for Indiana counties established two years ago at Purdue University. Open discussion by the county officials indicated that additional extension meetings on traffic signing procedures are desirable since many counties are not currently staffed or equipped to carry out an organized traffic signing program. Lawrence Noll, highway supervisor, represented Adams county officials at the meeting. Franklin Electric Plans Expansion Franklin Electric Co., of Bluffton, announced Tuesday a $120,000 expansion program in that city l to make large submersible motors. This will provide an additional 24,000 square feet in the company’s main building. They are also building a new plant in Arkansas. The submersibles and increased production requirements of integral motors is expected to fill the new addition as business picks up this next year. Present operations will be rearranged to provide space for production of the automatic ping machine. This was developed by Franklin Electric to package fresh meats In supermarkets. Work will start in December, and be completed next June. This is the fifth major addition in the 16-year history of the company. The total cost of the building passed the $1 million mark in 1960, when 24,000 square feet was added. New York Stock Exchange Prices MIDDAY PRICES A.

Erie - Lackawanna Drops Objections

The Erie-Lackawanna Railroad Co.; which has a deficit of $23,913,940 for the first nine months of 1961, removed itself as an objector to the merger of the Norfolk & Western and the Nickel Plate, on the promise that it will eventually be included in the new Atlantic Coast-Midwest network. In return, the new N&W will buy $1.5 million in Erie-Lacka-wanna securities next year. Merger Plan N&W has asked the interstate commerce commission for permission to merge with the Nickel Plate, to lease and later merge with the Wabash railroad, and to buy the Pennsylvania railroad’s Sandusky line in Ohio for $27 million. Thus, N&W, a leading soft-coal carrier, Would become a 7,400 mile line running through 14 states from Virginia to Nebraska. The new agreement is conti nfent upon ICC approval of the N&W-Nickel Plate-Wabash unification. Erie Deficit Larger So far, Erie-Lackawanna has been able to realize only a fraction of the hoped-for-sl3-million-a-year savings from the merger. Its deficit this year for the first nine months is almost double last year’s deficit, $12,798,980. Part of this was due to a court postponement of the merger, and part to the time involved in the changeover. The $1.5 million in securities will be purchased before Dec. 31, 1962, and held until January 1, 1966, unless the ICC turns down a merger of the two. sls Million Loan Meanwhile, the Erie and Nickel Plate will construct and jointly operate a yard at Buffalo, N. Y. Last June the ICC agreed to guarantee a sls million loan that' Erie arranged with Mellon National Bank & Trust Co. and three insurance companies. About $7.5 million are for the new electronic freight yard at Buffalo, N, Y., and $2 million for track changes. Through this area, the Erie is double tracked, and it is no secret that with rail tonnage down, and tax rates up, the Erie hopes to single-track a large portion of its lines; preliminary work has already proceeded in this direction. NYC Angry Meanwhile, the New York Central railroad is being left out of both the Erie-N&W proposal and the C&O-B&O proposals, much to its dismay. It opposes both margers because it may lose heavy volumes of freight if' left out'*With both the Erie and Nickel Plate running through Decatur, the entire merger proceeding is of great interest here. No change in the operation of either depot er railroad is anticipated, however; the change would principally be in freight handling procedures. Authorize Payment On State Building INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The State Office Building Commission Tuesday authorized payment of $1,300 on disputed contracts to beautify the new building and members expressed the hope they would not have to pay the full $68,000 for a statue and murals. The art work had been contracted for by a former commission appointed by tne previous goveernor, Harold Handley, but had been halted at the request of Governor Welsh shortly after he gained control of the commission.

'Hoosier Plan' For Showing New Films The motion picture industry, a leader and creator of many •'firsts” in and merchandising which have been copied in various industries, is introducing a new concept in the exhibiting and merchandising of motion pictures. »By simultaneous showing in theaters throughout the state of Indiana of a film selected and approved by a representative group of motion picture exhibitors and theater owners, citizens of the smallest communities in Indiana will have an opportunity to see a motion picture at the same time as it is being shown in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. From Nov. 1 through Nov. 20, one of the great pictures of the year will be shown in 70 theaters throughout Indiana as part of an arrangement between the motion picture companies of Hollywood and theater owners of the state. The first of these films is “Devil at 4 O’clock,” a Columbia picture starring Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra in technicolor. It will be shown at the Adams theater in Decatur Nov. 3-6. A seal has been approved by this group for the purpose of identifying a film which has been selected to be shown under this plan, which will be known as “The Hoosier Plan.” This seal will be used only on films handled in this manner, and will be a guarantee of the finest in motion picture family entertainment. However, the two artists, David Rubins and Garo Z. AntTeasian, both widely known staff members at John Herron Art Institute here, maintained that their contracts were valid and they should be paid for work already done. The commission Tuesday authorized payments totaling SI,3M to the two men. William Rightor, building manager, said he and the commission members are hopeful that the remaining cost of the art work will be paid by public sub scriptinn. In addition, the commission ordered the prime contractor to determine responsibility for continued , breakage of huge window glass panels in the new building’s lobby. Five such panes are broken at present. Rightor said Robert Clay of the Stewart-Carey Glass Co. presented the commission with the theory that wind might be causing the breakage. However, Rightor said the commission came to no elusion on the problem but left it up to the prime contractor, Virginia Engineering. Rightor said that he was directed to make a complete check of the entire building for a report at the next meeting Dec. 5 on all items needing repair. The action was taken because many of the warranties covering the various materials and equipment expire Jan. 1,1962, and most others by June 30.
