Spasmodic comments have been made over the past few years concerning the Decatur water supply. In those same years we have been fortunate, as far as water is concerned, to have wet and fairly coo! sumj- mers. This summer b starting off to be something entirely different. Already, May has been nnseasonably warm an dry. It might be that the rest of the summer will be cooler and wetter. However, if this present trend should continue over a period of months, what will the state of our water level be? Most of us can remember past summers when the city asked for a ban on lawn sprinkling. If that was the case then, what can we expect now that the city is larger? There is only one answer—more of the same, and worse! In some senses, water is the same as money—when a person wants and needs it b when it b most likely to be short. It takes a lot of water to satbfy the needs of a city of over 8,000 people. It also takes a steady, reliable supply . Whether lack of sufficient water is a deterrent to new industry’ has also been a matter of debate over the past years. All the water we could possibly want would not guarantee new industry’, but industrialists considering new sites do analyze the available water supply for today and for years to come. It would seem prudent for the city to do the same thing. Editorial Writer Today John G. Heller

Four Exira Runs Printed This Week The Decatur Daily Democrat, operating from a printing press which can print only eight pages at a time, has published 12 pages four times this week, by having four extra runs. This was believed to be the first time that four extra runs have ever been made in the same Week. Usually at least one is mad®, on Wednesday, and during Christmas shopping time two runs are common. However, high employment and the sound financial condition of Decatur area people has led the local merchants to increase their advertising campaign, and tell the people just what is available here. The printing of the extra runs placed an extra burden on the production employes, headed by shop superintendent Fred Isch, and including linotype operators Robert Garard, Larry Fravel, Olin MeshJberger, and Kenny Vanhorn; make-up man Jerry Timmons, and pressman James Hawkins. The paper was only 15 minutes late one night in beginning its ita hour run. Three or four young men helped insert the extra section in the regular newspaper. County Mentioned In War Os 1312 Book The recent book, ‘'Remember the Raisin!” about that famous battle in the War of 1812, contains several references to what is now Adams county, and a map, showing the troops as passing through this county on the northeast side of the St. Mary’s river to Fort Wayne. On page 27 of the book, written by G. Glenn Clift, and published by the Kentucky Historical society, the following account is given: General Harrison Here Gen. Harrison, who arrived at Piqua ,0., Sept. 3, left at noon on the 6th, 1812, with his army to relieve Fort Wayne. They made a forced march from Piqua, 0., to St. Mary’s, 0., 30 miles, then headed down the St. Mary’s cm the Wayne Trace for Fort Wayne. “During the hot day of the ninth the army had to depend on water in the wagon-ruts for drinking purposes, and found precious little of that. A point near the St. Mary’s river was reached on September 9 and from that camp the force proceeded in battle formation. Troops Described “The first and fifth regiments formed one line in single file on the left, two hundred yards from the road; the 17th United States Infantry and rifle regiment on the right, in the same formation. Baggage followed on the road. Ohio, volunteers <3OO of them, added to the Kentucky troops of Gen. Harrison) were half a mile in the lead and on the right flank, with the Kentucky mounted riflemen on the left flank and Captain Garrard’s troop forming the rear guard.” Several more descriptions of what happened, by eyewitnesses, occur, as well as several other accounts relating to the same Wayne trace and St. Mary’s river area in Adams county. Copies of the book, 281 pages, bound, with cover, can be obtained for $6.35 postpaid from the Kentucky Historical Society, Old State House, Frankfort, Ky. Decalur Youth Held In Van Wert Jail John J.

Kennedy Attitude, Activity Changed

EDITOR’S NOTE: Jahn F. Ken nedy will obeerve Mb 45th birthday anniversary an May 2s. Merriman Smith, Who has reported the activities ot few presidents for United Frees International, tells in the following dispatch how Kennedy’s attitudes and activities have changed in the past tumultuous 12 months. By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Kennedy told reporters recently he was “reading more and enjoying it less.’* The same might be said of his over-all experience in the presidency as he approached his 45th birthday. The chief executive’s birthday is not until May 29. But the celebrations start tonight in New York where Democrats will pay from SIOO to SI,OOO a ticket to join him at a mammoth birthday party at Madison Square Garden. Seldom has a man of 45 contended with so many monumental problems. Friends liken the President to a fine sword being forged and tempered in the fires of mighty crises and explosive controversy. Political enemies regard him as brashly attempting to throw his weight around. Some of his more conservative opponents see him as an enemy of the rich and friend of socialistically inclined radicals. Some of his more liberal supporters consider that he must be nudged more to left of center to satisfy their ideologies. Political feelings aside, an amazingly large body of Americanssee the President as a fine fellow, doing an excellent job. This at least is the recent finding of one national opinion poll which showed Kennedy at the peak of

a three-car accident at 1 a. m. todav on U. S. 224, that occurred in Ohio, just east of the IndianaOhio state-line.— Mendoza was arrested for driving while under the influence and was also charged with leaving the scene of an accident. He had not posted bond at noon today, and is expected to appear in Van Wert city court Monday. The mishap occurred when Mendoza was following a westbound car driven by Jerry Lee Johnson, 21, Willow Run trailer court, and attempted to pass, striking the Johnson car in the left rear.” In Opposite Lane The impact caused Johnson to lose control of his auto, as it spun across the road, the front of the vehicle coming to rest in the eastbound lane. An eastbound car operated by Donald Lee Ormsby, 21, Bluffton, apparently failed to see the Johnson car, or was unable to stop in time, and crashed into the left front of the auto. The Ormsby auto went out of control and stiuck a fence on the south side of the highway. Mendoza, meanwhile, had continued on to Decatur. He came to the city police department and reportedly made the statement to the officer on duty, “I think I hit a car out on 224.” Returns To Scene Mendoza told deputy sheriff Charles Arnold, who was called to the police station, that he probably should return. When returned to the scene, he was arrested by the Ohio highway patrol who investigated the mishap. Johnson's auto was considered a total loss, while S6OO was listed as damage to the auto operated by Ormsby, who was also arrested, for failure to stop in an assured distance. Mendoza’s vehicle received about S2OO damage, and a fence pole and 20 feet of farm fence were tom down by the Ormsby auto.

his personal popularity. Kennedy may be enjoying the presidency less, but it has not diminished his zest for lunging at problem after problem. He has the consummate politician’s appetite for grappling with domestic affairs: his sense of history fuels his drive across the international scene. There have been significant changes in the President since his 44th birthday: —He has become a much more controversial figure on the home front, engendering more intense support and opposition than accompanied his squeak - through election victory in 1960. Several domestic is sues have broadened the aura of controversy around him—his sledge-hammer handling of the steel price case; his urgent calls for medical care for the aged financed through Social Security and an income tax crackdown on expense accounts. These three items have accounted for many new expletives ranging from “socialist” to “anti - business.’’ —He appears to have become more sensitive to criticism. This seems to be a natural development i n White House tenants varying only as to rapidity of onset. —He has increased respect born of in-job experience for the difficulty in translating aim into achievement. This is particularly true in foreign affairs. He feels much more than a year ago the incredibly tedious chore of trying to do business with the Russians. Officially his presidential scorecard must be read through glasses of the reader’s political coloration. Kennedy feels that his record is popular and certainly justifies, at this stage, rather automatic acceptance by his party as a second term candidate in 1964. His batting average with Congress has not been as good as he would like. This usually is the case with presidents. But last session and probably again this

year, be won at feast part of most es his Major items. He has developed the presidential news conference into a tsprated television show. When Congress is in session, he seldom passes a week without a news conference. When Congress is not sitting, the frequency of news conferences diminishes. This demonstrates to some extent the manner in which Kennedy uses the conferences to push his legislative programs. Having known a great many Washington correspondents before taking office, the President continues to see some of them In private sessions. In fact, Kennedy probably sees more reporters privately than any president of relatively modern times. In his personal contacts with reporters on trips and around the White House, his manner is easygoing, frequently casual end with the attitude of one who knows about the business of news-gath-ering and opinion dissemination.
