Mankind Is Our Business - Purdue University’s glee club, a couple of years ago, recorded a number with the title “Mankind is My Business.” It was a song sung by the old Dickens character, Scrooge, when he woke up to the fact that he was responsible in life for more than his own welfare. The recorded song has become the theme of this year’s state Red Cross conference next week. But the song has meaning for each and every one of us, as we start our two-week drive for the Community Fund. Main problem with the drive is ignorance of most of those who are asked to give about the actual working of the organizations involved. If everyone were active in these organizations, Decatur would reach its goal in no time, because the need would be obvious to everyone. Unfortunately, such is not the case. Many fear that their money will be wasted, or sent out of town. If you really fear this, and are not just using it as an excuse to stop giving, you would be more than welcome at any of the organization meetings, and more than welcortlfe to help work and plan in any of them, we are sure! Local people keep a much closer eye on their various welfare agencies than they do on their own money when they are working in them. If you don’t believe this, pitch in and help, and see for yourself. Os course some money is sent out of the county. In the health agencies, this money is used for much-needed research — the kind of research that has reduced polio from a major crippier and killer to a minor disease. Other, such as to the American Red Cross, goes for diseaster work. If Adams county ever has an emergency, where more than a handful of people are involved Red Cross funds will be poured into the community to help. We, in turn, help others when they have disasters. When a community itself is struck by disaster, there frequently are not enough local funds to come close to helping. Everything is hit and hit badly. So, giving then must come from others who are willing to help. And the Red Cross stands ever ready for disaster work. * UH All of the USO money is used outside of Decatur ■— but we must remember that hundreds of Decatur boys and girls are serving in the Armed Forces, and that without USO facilities and volun--teer workers their lives would be far different from what is now possible. The USO provides off-duty relaxation of the type that any local home would approve, and backs up the chaplain in a full program for the troops. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

Seven Accidents b County On Weekend The Adams county sheriff’s department endured a “bad” weekend Saturday and Sunday, with seven accidents occurring, with sheriff Roger Singleton investigating four of the accidents. Six of the mishaps occurred Sunday, with two persons injured, neither seriously, two drivers arrested, and a third accident still under investigation. In the most serious mishap, Faustino Benjamin Mendoza, a 20-year-old resident of 909 N. 12th street, escaped a spectacular onecar crash with only minor injuries. Mendoza was traveling west on U. S. 224, three miles east of Decatur, when his auto left the road and traveled a total of 195 feet before smashing into a large bridge abutment on the north side of the highway. Car Demolished The auto, a 1957 model, was completely demolished, with both seats torn out and Mendoza thrown into the rear of the car. The entire right side of the car was twisted beyond recognition. The right front fender of the car was stuck on the bridge abutment when the investigating officers arrived, and more than half an hour was needed to load the mangled wreckage onto a trailer pulled by a wrecker. Mendoza was not visibly injured, although a short time later he collapsed at the Adams county jail and was taken to the Adams county hospital, where he was found to be suffering from a bruised chest and a twisted and bruised right knee. Mendoza refused treatment following the accident, but later collapsed. He is to be released from the hospital Tuesday. Deputy sheriff Harold August, and state trooper Gene Rash investigated the 3 a. m. Sunday mishap, which is still under investigation. Second Accident The accident was also the cause of another mishap in which a car driven by Gerald Ray Shelton, 31, 1354 Master Drive, received an estimated SSO damage. Shelton was also westbound on 224 when he came upon the wreckage. Mendoza, in a dazed condition, was wandering around in the center of the highway and Shelton swerved to avoid striking him. Shelton’s auto left the road and traveled 360 feet in a ditch before coming to rest practically straight up in the air. Shelton, as Mendoza, luckily escaped serious injury. The mishap occurred just minutes after Mendoza’s crash.
