One of the oldest continuous annual church dinners in the Decatur area will be held Wednesday, when the ladies of the Methodist church serve their New England dinner. Die dinner dates back to the days of the Civil War, and at that time, the proceeds were used to help defray the current expenses of the church budget, including the pastor’s salary. During those years, wiUi so many members in the service of the Union army, church budgets suffered. Many local churches were forced to close their doors, because they did not have the money to pay i a pastor. The local Methodist church was faced with the same situation, so ‘ the ladies of the church decided to take action, and formed the Ladies Mite Society. Working in conjunction with the church budget canvassers, the ladies raised enough holding church suppers to fill the budget. In 1881, when the oldest part of the present church was being planned, the ladies again came to the aid of the financiers. They planned a complete week of dinners, under the direction of Mrs. D. E. Studebaker, and again contrbiuted much

to the betterment of the church. Name Changed In the early 1900’s, the ladies society changed its name to the Ladies Aid, and Mrs. John Niblick was the first president of the organization. At that time the annual dinner was held on Thanksgiving Day, and was limited to church families.

Meany's Feud With Reuther May Boil Anew WASHINGTON (UPD — The AFL-CIO executive council meets today with signs that the feud between president George Meany and vice president Walter Reuther may boil up again. The 29-member council was called into closed session to fill a vacancy in its membership. Meany and Reuther, long at odds on union policy, have disagreed on a choice for the job. The meeting was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., EST. Reuther, head of the United Auto Workers, has been insisting on a selection from the ranks of the industrial, or former CIO, unions. Meany has refused to go along. Wary Os Showdown There were indications, however, that neither Meany nor Reuther wanted to push for an unconditional showdown. A union source said someone from the CIO camp, other than Reuther’s first choice, probably would be selected. Meany has enough votes in the council to beat Reuther. But if he pushed for a showdown, the highly influential Reuther might resign or pull the 5 " 1,360,000-mem-ber UAW out of the federation. The council vacancy was created by the resignation of Leland S. Burkmaster, former president of the United Rubber Workers. The former CIO group on the council chose United Packinghouse Workers president Ralph Helstein to succeed Burkmaster. Meany Balks The Meany side balked. Meany was said to contend that while the industrial unions had a right to nominate their own man for the council, the nominee must be acceptable to the majority. The dispute over a successor to Burkmaster has been pending for months. At a meeting in Chicago last August, the council postponed a vote to avoid possible internal chaos before the congressional elections. While the council dispute was symptomatic of the feud between Meany and Reuther, it was only one of a number of long-time differences, personal and political, separating the two labor leaders. Reports Windows Os Auto Are Smashed The sheriff’s department is investigating some vandalism that occurred Sunday morning. Dave Arnos, route 1, New Haven, was traveling on state road 101 shortly after midnight Saturday, when his vehicle broke down. Arnos abandoned the auto three and one-half miles north of U. S. 224, and when he returned about noon Sunday, he found all the windows on the left side of the vehicle had been smashed out. Deputy sheriff Robert Meyer is conducting the investigation of the incident. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Fatal ANGOLA, Ind. (UPI) — A leaking pipe in a coal stove was blamed today for the carbon monoxide death Sunday of Helmut W.

Rolvaag Is Leading In Minnesota Vote MINNEAPOLIS (UPD — Democratic Farmer Labor Lt. Gov. Karl Rolvaag and Republican Gov.

Exiles Fear Castro Has Hidden Missiles MIAMI (UPI) — Cuban exile leaders here fear Premier Fidel Castro still has missiles tucked away on his Communist island which are capable of striking as far as New York. Jose Miro Cardona, president of the Cuban Revolutionary said Sunday night he does not believe all Soviet missiles have been removed from Cuba and an exile organization said it had intelligence reports on 10 underground missile batteries along the northern rim of the island. “I am not satisfied that the dismantling of missile bases has been completed in 10 days when from July to October of this year 161 Russian ships arrived with armaments for Cuba and so far only seven have left,” Miro said. Miro, the first prime minister of Castro’s government who fled to this country in 1960, said in a television interview that international inspecton was the only way to insure that offensive weapons no longer were poised against the United States. The intelligence report on missile sites, which Miro said he “suspected” was a valid one, came from the Cuban student revolutionary directorate (DRE). A DRE agent, identified as "ngel Z”, reported he saw five missile installations in Matanzas and Las Villas provinces.

Romney’s Political Career Very Brief

(EDITOR’S NOTE: George W. Romney, successful In defeating the incumbent Democratic governor of Michigan, emerged as potential Republican candidate for the presidency. The foUowing dispatch — first ol three on GOP presidential possibilities — traces Romney’s relatively brief political career and the problems confronting him as governor. Subsequent dispatches will cover Nelson Rockefeller of New York and William Scranton of Pennsylvania.) By HAL W. MAERTZ United Press International DETROIT (UPD — Michigan Gov.-elect Geofge W. Romney is a bright new entry in the 1964 Republican presidential sweepstakes. Romney, a newcomer to bigtime politics, burst upon the scene when he overcame sizeable odds to unseat incumbent Gov. John B. Swainson and put an end to a Democratic dynasty that had held forth in Michigan for 14 years. In accomplishing this, the handsome former American Motors Corp, president moved into the company of New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and another political newcomer, Govelect William Scranton of Pennsylvania, as leading contenders for the 1964 presidential nomination. The victor almost certainly will face President Kennedy. Romney, for the record, has disclaimed all interest in the presidency. To the inevitable questions during his campaign, he repled: “I’m running for governor of Michigan, not the presidency.’’ Last week, he flatly said: "I will not be a candidate for president in 1964." He has called a presidential draft far-fetched and “unlikely.” His chief concern, Romney says, is the next two years, the length of his term as governor. A lot of “ifs” must be overcome before the Republicans decide to “let George do it” in 1964. One of the first, and biggest, is whether Romney can carry out his oft-repeated promise to "get Michigan moving again.” Romney’s feat in breaking the Democratic hold on the state’s highest office was but fell far short of a landslide. He won by aTDout 77,000 votes out of more than 2.7 million qast, a record total for a non-presidential year. And his personal popularity failed to rub off on other members of the Republican ticket. Democratic incumbents won all the other state races — lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor general, attorney general and treasurer. Republicans retained their 11-7 edge in the House, but Democrats easily won the new 19th District at-large congressional seat. __ The state legislature stayed virtually the same; TtepuTillcahs retained their 23-11 edge in the

state Senate and pickedup two House seats for a 58-52 margin. For the first time in recent memory, the same party held the governorship and legislative control. But the same Republican elements that fought Swainson to a standstill could make life miserable for Romney. In the Senate, a hard pore of "old guard GOP lawmakers won’t see eye-to-eye with some of Romney s aims, particularly in the area of tax reform. One of Romney’s chief claims during the campaign was that he had the ability to bring divergent groups together to get things done. He cancelled a post-cam-paign vacation in order to seek the backing of Democrats in the legislature. Romney takes office in January. Romney is a strange breed of Republican. During the campaign, he identified himself as "a citizen first, then a Republican." None of his campagn literature carried the word "Republican” and his campaign slogan was "Romney for Michigan.” Business leaders hailed Romney’s election, yet couldn’t help but be disquieted by his previous call for a breakup of General Motors. Organized labor opposed Romney, but hopefully remembered his remark that if he worked in a plant, he would join a union and be active in it. At 55, Romney is a darkly handsome man with thick hair turning silver around the edges. He packs a slim 175 pounds on his 5-11 frame and works hard at keeping in peak physical shape. I Romney’s birthplace was Mexico, of parents who fled the United States to escape Mormon persecution. Since his parents were United States citizens, he is considered a citizen of the country and no constitutional roadblock would prohibit his running for president. Romney, father of four, became active in government on a nonpartisan basis about three years ago. He helped organize and headed Citizens for Michigan, a non-partisan group that worked for better government and sought to have a constitutional convention called. When the convention was called in 1961, Romney ran, and won, as a Republican delegate. This was the first time he publicly identified himself with the GOP. Broken Chinaware One method of mending broken chinaware is to make a thin paste of lime mixed with the white of an egg. Apply to the broken pieces, press tightly together, and put in a dry place for a day or two to harden. Be careful to take only enough white of an egg to mend one article at a time, and mix well with a small quantity of lime.
