Central Soya Sales, Earnings Increased

Nearly 600 shareholders attended Central Soya’s annual shareholders meeting Wednesday, in Fort Wayne. They heard reports on the company’s growth during the past year from Harold W. McMillen, Central Soya board chairman, and Dale W. McMillen, Jr., president. The board chairman said that the company’s operations for the year just ended were ““substantially improved over the previous year with an eight per cent increase in sales and a 24 per cent increase in earnings before taxes." He call Central Soya’s financial position “strong," and pointed out that at the end of the company’s fiscal year on August 31, "we had fifty-two million dollars worth of current assets to balance against only eleven million dollars of current liabilities.” The chairman reminded shareholders that nearly all of Central’s operations are concerned with the ultimate production of more and better food. “When y«u think of these operations in connection with our ever-growing population,” he said, "this in itself should be sufficient indication of our growth potential.” Central Soya president, Dale W. McMillen, Jr., reviewed production, distribution, and research activities. He called attention to major capital expenditures affecting the company's production, such as, "the exercising of the option to purchase the leased facilities of the chemurgy division formerly owned by the Glidden company .. . and the acquisition of a new feed plant at Lockhart, Texas.” The president told shareholders that the McMillen feed division is currently distributing Master Mix feeds from the Texas plant, which is being modernized and expanded to broaden our product line and service to Texas livestock and poultry producers. He reported that "in the spring of 1962 Central’s plant at Indianapolis, will begin manufacturing Master Mix feed with new facilities currently under cor.B‘~uction

at that location. "The grain division," president McMillen said, "has expanded its merchandising activities at our Red Wing, Minn., location with the completion of a 750,000 bushel storage unit.” He reviewed the expansion of the company’s overseas operations, which included the opening of an office at Rotterdam, Netherlands, and the formation of Central SoyaSeriom, S.P.A., a joint venture company with Italian interests, which will manufacture Master Mix Mangimi (feed) for the Italian market. Taking a look to the future, the president referred to the Bellevue, Ohio, plant that was acquired from the Spencer Kellogg Division of Textron, Inc., in late October and predicted that it would further "Improve the profit potential of both our processing and grain divisions." "For the year ahead,” he said, "we are optimistic about the profit contributions from all of the company’s divisions.” During the business session, shareholders re-elected as directors: Dale W. McMillen, Harold W. McMillen, Dale W. McMillen, Jr.. Robert B. Parrott, Wilbert E. Huge, Edward T. Scheie, John D. Shoaff, and Cole J. Younger.

County Radiological Reading Unchanged This week’s radiological (fallout) reading for Adams county is .4 milliroentgens, the same as for the past four weeks, Milt Spence, aiea radiologist and U. S. SCS work unit conservationist, said today. It takes between 100,000 and 200,000 roentgens before humans are affected by radiation, Spence emphasized. There Is no danger in Adams county from food, rain, snow, or air, he stressed. Spence measures radiation weekly in various areas of the county, and for varying periods of time, so that the average radiation can be obtained. Radiation will vary several hundredths of a milliroentgen in different areas at different times, but all well below the safe level. This coming year Indiana will be set up as a pilot state in the first co-ordinated plan to brief food technologists, like Spence, in problems to be faced and to get the industry working and integrated into the greater civil defense system. i A three-way-sponsored seminar will be held Jan. 8-9 in Indianapolis on the question. More than 500 food specialists are expected to attend. Neighboring states will send observers. This is expected to mushroom from a state-wide to a nation-wide program. Spence was the first man in this area to be trained in radiology so that the foodstuffs produced here could be certified safe following any kind of an unusual radiation pattern in this area. Natural phenomena, nuclear explosions, nuclear waste or material being transported through the county—any of these could affect what is grown here. Burial Rites Here For Sarah Kirsch Burial services were held Tuesday afternon at the Decatur cemetery for Mrs. Sarah Kirsch, 91, former Decatur resident, who died Sunday at the Methodist memorial home at Warren. Surviving is a brother, George Gemmer of Fort Wayne. She was an aunt of Mrs. Pen Shroyer, Edgar Mutschler and Clarence Zlner of this city. More Arrests Made In Demonstrations ALBANY, Ga. (UPD — Police prepared to deal with more Negro demonstrators today in this staunch segregationist city where 466 persons have been arrested during the past two days for protesting the trial of “freedom ridcrs.” • -■-* ■ - -■ - —■ City and county jails were filled, and the National Guard Armory was brought into use as a detention area for demonstrators. Police Chief Laurie Pritchett said "we’ll keep on arresting them and moving them to othe jails.” He said he has been offered the use of jails "throughout south Georgia.” Police arrested 199 persons Wednesday when Negroes staged three demonstrations within eight hours at the town square. Another 287 Negroes were jailed Tuesday for demonstrating outside city hall during the opening of the trial of 11 “freedom riders.” The trial of the bi-racial group of riders, arrested Dec. 10 for attempting to use the "white" waiting room of the train station, was not held Wednesday because of the demonstraticns. Dr. W. G. Anderson, head of the ii.tegrationist Albany Movement, told a rally of 500 persons Wednesday night that “it is no disgrace to go to jail. We are proud to go to jail for a right cause." reduce the of school corporations in the county from 10 to three. It will' not affect the number of schools—only the new school boards can change that.

Integrity Os Family Civics Club Project The integrity of the family in today’s world was stressed in the November project to develop the national Civic's club theme for this scholastic year, "Your Family in Today's World.” Since proper education of youth is one of the nation’s greatest problems, the Mary’s Catholic Civics Club of the St. Joseph school made a special study of it during national education week by a panel discussion which developed the following topics: 1. Best quality of educated students of today will guarantee future strong and efficient adult leadership in the free world. 2. Education's, incomplete without the fourth "R,” religion. 3. Parents’ rights in choice of school is to be respected and encouraged by government without penalty. 4. CEF, a parents’ non-sectar-ian, non-p o 1 i t i c a 1 organization works for social educational justice for all school children. s—Cong. Hugh L. Carey’s proposal for a "PEP,” parents’ entitlement plan, for federal aid to education in the next stss.cn of Congress. Discuss Sheßers In Septemeber, the ciut secretary, Sandra Mendez, wrote to the department of defense to secure free copies of “The family fallout shelter” for all club members. These booklets were thoroughly studied and discussed in an effort to impress on the children the importance of safety and the dangers to health resulting from a nuclear war. The moderator of the local Civics club was gratified when two of its members, Susan Gase and Peggy Mcßride, brought to school John G. Heller’s editorial requesting that people write to President Kennedy and tell him that they support him in his efforts to promote and maintain world peace. At the regular meeting, the teacher read the editorial, after which Peggy suggested that all clubbers who agreed with the editorial, sign the editorial and mail it to the president. More than 54 signatures were obtained. Farm Life Debate The formal debate on “Resolved, that farm life is better for rearing a family than city life,” was a spirited activity. It was nip and tuck between the affirmative and negative participants all through, but the negatives won out by one point. Both city and country dwellers’ knowledge was improved by the arguments brought forth in the debate. An annual project of the Civics club is to secure large boxes for the bishop’s Thanksgiving clothing drive for the overseas’ poor. Six clubbers spent their Thanksgiving holiday canvassing the city stores for strong boxes, while others carried away discarded small boxes for the ladies of the parish who were responsible for the packing. At present, the club is busily working on its December project, "Neighborliness." All members will write letters to shut-ins of Decatur and vicinity as one of the special activities.
