Rotary Club Information The Decatur Lions Club, and its members are always willing to help out a fellow Decatur group, so when it was learned that a fire had destroyed the original Decatur Rotary club records, and no list of club presidents or of charter members was available, it was suggested by the Lions that the local editor look into the old files. After hours of search, it was discovered that in 1921, at the end of an article, August 7,1916 was given as the founding date. The following article appeared in the Tuesday, August 8, 1916 Decatur Daily Democrat on the front page: “At a meeting held last evening at the J. T. Merryman law office, a Decatur Rotary club was organized with fourteen young businessmen as the charter members. By-laws similar to the ones used by the Fort Wayne Rotary club were adopted and the secretary was instructed to apply for membership in the National Order of Rotarians. For the time being the Decatur Rotary club will be conducted more along independent lines, except that the same plan of taking in members, holding rotary meetings and dinners will be the same as laid down in the national order. “Officers and directors for the first year were also elected last evening, with the following results: President, Avon Burk; vice-president, Jesse Sellemeyer; second vice-president, A. D. Suttles; secretary, Oscar Hoffman; treasurer, Arthur Holthouse; statistician, W. A. Klepper; sergeant-at-ar ms, Oscar Lankanau; directors, Dr. Fred Patterson, Harry Fritzinger and C. C. Pumphrey. It is the plan of the local order to hold its meetings the first Monday of each month at which time a dinner will be served in connection and one of the members will preside as toastmaster, rotating at each meeting. Talks on different lines of business will also be given and, if possible, speakers will also be obtained for the occasions. “Besides being boosters for Decatur and willing to affiliate with any good movement for the betterment of the community, social events will also be enjoyed by the organization. According to the National Rotary order, only one person from every individual line of business can become a member of the club. The local organization will confine itself mostly to the young businessmen. (!) • , — “The charter members of the Decatur Rotary Club are: Avon Burk, W. A. Klepper, Jesse Sellemeyer, Oscar Hoffman, Harry Fritzinger, Harman GiUig, Arthur Suttles, Dan Vail, Carl Pumphrey, Francis Schmitt, Dr. Fred Patterson, Oscar Lankenau, Dan Tindall, and Arthur Holthouse. “Enthusiasm was first aroused in the starting of a young business men’s organization by W. A. Klep-. * per, manager of the Adams County Creamery Co., and Avon Burk, of the Burk Elevator Co. These two men have made several trips about the state in order to obtain some idea how clubs of this kind in towns the size of Decatur were conducted, and to them is due the credit for bringing about the organization.” The above article is a “birthday present” to the Rotarians from the Decatur Lions today, on the occasion of their 45th anniversary celebration!

Committee To Propose Power To Mediators MIAMI BEACH (UPI) — President Kennedy’s Labor-Manage-ment Advisory Committee will propose legislation soon to give neutral fact-finders the power to make settlement recommendations in national emergency strikes, labor sources said today. George Meany, AFL-CIO president, and five other members of the federation’s executive council on the White House panel, were reported to favor the step as an improvement over present procedures. The presidential committee, headed by Labor Secretary Arthur J Go.ldberg, includes 21 members equally divided among organized labor, management, and the public. Its recommendations to Kennedy could be expected to carry great weight in the drafting of proposed legislation to deal with critical disputes. Goldberg has said that a bill on this subject will be sent to Congress this year. Under the present laws, a factfinding board named by the President when he invokes the TaftI Hartley Act, is barred from mak- | ing any suggestions to halt a 1 strike that threatens the nation’s health or safety. Goldberg, who was a chief negotiator for the Steelworkers union during the historic 116-day 1 steel strike in 1959, believes this is aweakness in the law that I should be corrected. Existing statutes also do not forbid a strike, but only delay it : for 80 days, industrial relations experts observe.

Space Agency Plans Series Os Satellites CAPE CANAVERAL (UPD— America’s space agency plans to launch within a few days the first in a series of satellites designed to take science’s first direct look at the sun. The key purpose of the orbiting solar observatory, or OSO, is to learn more about “storms” of radiation pouring from the sun that would at their worst kill an astronaut who ventured into space without impossibly heavy shielding. The 440-pound moonlet will be sent aloft, possibly as early as next Tuesday, atop a three-stage, Thor-Delta rocket. Plans were announced Wednesday by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Long Program The OSO program is a particularly long one. It is expected to last about 11 years, the period of time covering one full sunspot cycle. Sunspots is a term given gigantic eruptions on the face of the sun that send deadly showers of radiation into space. One expert said, that on the average of one day out of 45 space travelers to the moon would be “fried” by such radiation. The U.S. space program calls for a team of astronauts to journey around the moon within the next five years but such adventurers would face the probability of increased solar storms during the next few years. According to cycles worked out by scientists these would reach a peak in 1966-67. Forecast Solar Flares In order to keep the U.S. space program going scientists must Jjnd away to provide more practical methods of shielding astronauts from this radiation or must learn to forecast solar flares more accurately. If all goes well OSO will send information back to earth for about six months. OSO-1 will cost more than $6 million to launch and will carry a ofl3 experiments; » Space agency spokesmen said a second OSO already is under construction and will be launched in about one year. . -~
