THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA ”

GOP Regains Control Over State Senate INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Republicans gained revenge for loss of the Indiana Senate to the Democrats two years ago by retaking control of the upper house of the 1963 Legislature. Unofficial returns showed today that the GOP margin in the Senate next January will be 26-24, with Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, a Republican who by virtue of his office is presiding officer of the Senate, providing additional strength for the majority party. The GOP also appeared to have won control of the House, although apparently by a smaller margin than the 66-34 advantage it held in the 1961 Legislature. In mid-morning, with only partial unofficial returns, the Republicans had captured 41 and the Democrats 32 House seats. The situation was unique, Democrat Birch Bayh winning the U.S. senatorial race and the Legislature apparently going completely to the Republicans, who were in the minority, 26-24, in the Senate last time. The fact the Republicans had a 14-10 margin in holdover senators —those elected two years ago for four-year terms —helped them in their control triumph. , It put the blame or credit on the GOP for whatever bills pass the 1963 Legislature which please or displease the public. Among the hot issues comini up are legislative reapportionment and tax increases or new taxes. Republicans are committed to reapportion by the federal plan, redistricting the House on a population basis but the Senate on a geographical basis. The GOP also pioneered in the Gov. Harold W. Handley administration from 1956 to 1960 in tax increases. The gross income tax and the state motor fuel tax both were hiked, and Handley won the nickname “High Tax Harold” when the Democrats campaigned in 1960 and captured the governor’s office. Money to meet rising costs of state government, and tax methods jeuease the property levies imposed in counties and now reaching confiscatory levels, also will be a major problem in the legislative halls next January. Among senators who were defeated in their bids for reelection were Chester K. Watson, Allen County Democrat, and James H. Beamon, Daviess-Knox Republican. Elected to the Senate was George S. Diener, former speaker of.the House, from—MarionCounty. He defeated John I. Bradshaw, also a former House member. Safety First!

Work Completed At City Sewage Plant Joseph Fisk, head of the Fisk Sanitation Service of Greenfield, Ind., presented a satisfactory report to the city council Tuesday evening, concerning the work his company recently completed at the local sewage treatment plant. Fisk explained to the council that of the two digesters at the plant which were worked on, digester No. 1 was already back in full operation, and No. 2 would be very soon. The sanitation company was contracted by the city' council in an emergency meeting Monday, October 8, to re-condition the two digesters. Problem in Digesters The problem was centered in the digesters, which are used to dissolve the city garbage which comes through the treatment plant. Certain materials cannot be digested, such as milk cartons, paper, corn husks, cellophane, tomato peelings, etc., and had formed crusts in each digester which were threatening severe damage to the mechanisms. The problem had gradually increased since the treatment plant was built and put into use about four years ago, and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it, as long as persons continue to throw the milk cartons, paper, etc., in with their garbage. Fisk told the council that the work had been completed, and he thanked the council for their fine cooperation, and said he. also received fine cooperation from city residents and merchants. He did, however, say that in over 20 years in this business, “I have never seen so many undigestible substances as were in the No. 2 digester, including six or seven tons of cellophane.” He complimented Mayor Donold Gage, city attorney Bob Anderson, and city engineer Ralph E. Roop, as well as the council, and explained that he hoped that he could return again in a few years to once again clean out the digesters before they again get in the poor shape they were before his company began working.

New Category On Adopted Patients Mrs. E. Gordon Liechty, chairman of the adopt-a-patient committee of the Adams county association for mental health, has announced a new category of hospitalized patients will be available for adoption. Normally a patient is considered for participation in this program if he or she has not has a visitor or any correspondence for a period of at least six months. Under the new plan, which has been tested upon the recommendation of the psychiatrists, patients, who do have contact with their families but would be aided by an additional contact, will be eligible for the program. Mrs. William Gitlin, chairman of the adopt-a-patient committee of the Indiana association for mental health, said, “In many instances regular visits by the family are not possible due to the distance between the family home and the hospital, or because of illness in t h e family. It is advantageous to the patient if someone living near the hospital becomes a friend and can see him between family visits.” Due to the expansion of the adopt-a-patient program many additional adopters will be needed. Currently 3,119 Indiana citizens are participating in this program and there are a total of 3,755 patients eligible for adoption. The goal of the Indiana association is to obtain three adopters for each eligible patient therefore 8,046 more adopters must be recruited. Mrs. Liechty said, “This is one program where the individual has the opportunity to do something personally for a fellow human being in need, and it not only directly benefits the patient but is showing evidence of being effective in wiping out the prejudice and stigma which surrounds the mentally ill.” Complete details on the adopt-a-patient program ( may be obtained by contacting Mrs. Roger Schuster at 3-8522. jSAVE 50% -fSON ROOM ACCOMMODATIONS < ANY WEEKEND , j ( TSundoy thru Sunday; 2-Doy Minimum ) . jWITH THIS COUPON UPON REGISTERING " * completely air cohoitioheo — RADIO AND TV IN EVERY ROOM ’ j NO CHARGE FOR CHILDREN UNDER M HF tha World - Famous Chalet * b Adjacent Porting LPH at LA SALLE - kootf of fk» Loop is & Information: CK HOTEL, Roo* ft lBtr«l t-012?
