Recreation Project Os Civics Clubbers
' Bj A Civics Clubber St. Thomas Aquinas, a 13th century scholar, was a firm believer in having fun for he once said, “No man can hve without having some pleasure in his life.” He knew that we must let our souls rest as we let our bodies rest. We must recreate them through pleasure and play. If Thomas could have looked into the future and seen that one day local governments would have departments of recreation, he might have nodded approvingly. December, therefore, was devoted by the Mary’s Catholic Civics club of the St. Joseph school to the study of recreational facilities a community should pro vide, with emphasis on cultural needs. The club’s first area to explore was the city public library. A delegation of six boys reported to the entire club their findings which covered many phases of our library. People whose chief avenue of recreation is reading can be amply satisfied in the library’s attractive display of numerous current periodicals and daily and weekly newspapers. A satisfying discovery was the fact that many local church denomination periodicals are on the library shelves for constituents to read and acquaint themselves of news regarding specific religious topics. It was observed that all types of reading

I tastes — sports, religion, politics, science, mystery, biography —can be satisfied for those citizens who ! choose reading as a form of recreation. The film section facilities of library too afford many families hours of recreation in their own homes. Interview Leaders Four girls interviewed Robert Worthman and Hubert Zerkel, Jr., city heads of the department of recreation, to find out what the local government is doing in the area of physical recreation. They learned that Decatur does not have a large and elaborate department, but that it was fairly adequate for our type of city. Playgrounds, ball parks, picnic grounds, swimming pool and ice skating pond were some of the facilities. Our local high schools furnish us with occational musicales for the city enjoyment. Our Catholic school band features several performances each year for the public. A research paper was delivered by Barbara Keller on "Why is recreation important for people?” She developed such items as: "What might happen if people did nothing but work? Can recreation be harmful? Should local governments show more concern for recreation? Should private citizens show their concern for recreational opportunities in the community?”
From personal experiences, the clubbers know how much enjoy- ] ment they and their friends derive | from the local school basketball 1 games in the winter months and {the city league ball games in the ’ summer. It was learned that most parents are willing tp cooperate in developing a good recreation department for the city. Our business men are also an asset which our local government can depend upon to expedite recreational matters. Letter Writing Much time was devoted" also to ’ letter writing during December. All clubbers participated in our ’ “letters-to-shut-ins” project again i this year. Correspondence is a form of recreation for the ones , who receive and a philanthropic work for the clubbers, which makes ( them think of others less fortunate than they, and a practical correlation of civics and English composition. An annual Civics club project is to collect cancelled stamps of higher denominations, pre-cancel, commemoratives, foreign and regulars for the Catholic missionary societies, who in turn sell them to professional stamp collectors and hereby realize some means of support for the missionaries working ing foreign fields. Thousands of stamps are collected yearly. Italian President Plans Visit To U. S. WASHINGTON (UPI) — The White House said Wednesday that discussions have been started with Italy regarding ?. possible visit by President Amintori Fanfani to the United States. $15,000 Bond Set For Bank Robber INDIANAPOLIS <UPI> — U.

No Major Labor Legislation Is Expected Now WASHINGTON (UPI) — No major labor legislation is expected to be enacted by Congress this year unless the current dock . strike drags on for many weeks, Senate labor experts said today. They predicted that if President Kennedy offers legislation to end the tieup of East and Gulf Coast ports, organized labor will bring pressure to see that the strike is settled before a new law could be enacted. The administration has been reluctant to offer any kind of antistrike legislation. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz said Wednesday he believed new methods were heeded to settle labor - management disputes without direct government intervention. He said Kennedy would report to Congress on the 19-day-old longshoremen’s strike in his State of the Union Message Monday. But Wirtz said he did not know whether the President would call for labor legislation at that time. Earlier, administration sources said the President might be forced to ask Congress for some type of compulsory arbitration law unless the dock strike is settied soon. The dock tieup by the International Longshoremen’s Association (AFL-CIO) was causing little concern in the new Congress. Labor committee members said they had not been briefed on what the strike was doing to the nation’s economy. The feeling was that it came at a slow time of year and so far has not been damaging. The New York newspaper strike probably does not have enough impact nationally to precipitate anti-strike legislation, Senate labor committee aourcea said.

If the surface is good enough to warrant its use again, it should be taken up by a professionaL Otherwise, the remaining pieces can be softened by flooding with water for awhile. As the water works underneath, it will soak the cement, allowing the stubborn fragments to be taken up.

Joint Session Hears II Four College Heads i INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-College 1 students must be taught the jobs of tomorrow, not today, a joint session of the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Commit- 1 tees was told Wednesday. The observation was made by . Purdue President Dr. Frederick ■ L. Hovde, one of four presidents J of state-supported colleges and universities meeting with the com- 1 mittees to defend a budget of $174 ■ million for operation of the institutions during the 1963-65 biennium. He asked members to imagine a building 40 stories tall, containing a rocket 35 stories tall, with three men in a capsule at the top. This huge building and rocket will be involved in the first manned moon shot, he said. He warned that unless enough persons acquire the new knowledges in this future world, the universities and colleges will have failed. Indiana University President Dr. Elvis J. Stahr jr., said the current session of the legislature is the only one which can act before the student bulge hits the campuses in 1964-65. Indiana State College President Dr. Raleigh Holmstedt said enrollments in IU, Purdue, Ball State and Indiana State will jump from 53,962 to 62,524 during the twoyear period. President Dr. John Emens of Ball State spoke of the increasing burden on students of fees, - However, the four presidents declined to commit themselves on whether they think another fee hike will be needed. Powell Eslate To Wife And Children LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Actorproducer Dick Powell left most, of his million-dollar estate to his wife, actress June Allyson, and their two children. Terms of his will, filed for probate Wednesday, disclosed Powell’s estate was “in excess of $1 million.” His attorney Eugene S. Goodwin said it still was too' early to toll exactly how much < it will amount to. The 20-page will of the actor who died of cancer Jan. 2 also I 'left 3,000 shares of Four Star | Television Co. stock to each of his grown children by a previous marriage, Mrs. Ellen Hayward and Norman Scott Powell. The remainder was left to Miss Allyson and their adopted daughter Pamela, 14, and son, Richard, 12. Trust funds were set up for the children providing they receive one-fourth of the estate at ages 24, 30, 35 ana 4C. Actor Edgar Bergen and his wife, Frances, close friends of the Powells, were designated guardians of the children in the event of Miss Allyson’s death before they become of age. In connection with the stock bequests to the two grown children, Powell wrote, ”1 am confident they will understand that my failure to provide for them in this Will is. not due to any lack of affection for them, but is due to the arrangements I have made for them during my lifetime.” Hockey Results National League.)

Paul Brown Is Fired As Coach At Cleveland CLEVELAND (UPI) — Paul Brown’s sudden dismissal after 17 years as coach of the Cleveland Browns ended a fantastic football era today and immediately gave rise to speculation that Otto Graham, his former star pupil, might succeed him. Blanton Collier, Cleveland’s offensive backfield coach and a close personal friend of Brown, also appeared to be in the running to replace the man whose whip-cracking methods helped the Browns win seven National Football League division titles and three world championships. The 54-year-old Brown, who also was relieved of his general manager duties, apparently was so shocked by the suddenness of his firing that he went into seclusion Wednesday night. Arthur Modell, president of the club which bears Brown’s name, said “I have several men in mind as a possible successor and I hope to have an announcement within 10 days.” He said he has talked to no one. about the job. Modell, who described the firing as “a simple reorganization,” denied reports of friction between him and Brown.” “Pretty Well Floored” Collier said, "I heard there were problems, but nobody thought this would happen.” He said he was “pretty well floored” by the firing. “It happened so fast, I’ve had no time to make any plans ” Collier said. ’ I don’t knov what’s going to happen, I haven ' talked to Paul.” Brown apparently went into hiding. Even Collier, a close friend of Brown since their World War II days at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, did not know where Brown had gone. Brown, according to Modell, will finish the six years remaining in his 10-year contract as vice president, “with the same compensa- ' tion,” an estimated $50,000 per Collier was with the Browns when they were organized as part lof the old All-America Conference in 1946. He left the team in 1954 to take over as head coach of the University of Kentucky where he stayed until last season. Brown Signed Graham . Graham, one of the greatest pro quarterbacks, was the first player signed by Brown when he organized the team. Brown developed Graham as a formidable T quarterback. Graham has been coaching at the Coast Guard Academy for four years. The firing has ended, at least temporarily, a brilliant 33-year coaching career which included 296 victories, 76 losses and 15 ties. Among these are a 52-4-3 record in the All-America Conference from 1946 to 1949 and an 18-8-1 record as head coach at Ohio State University from 1941 to 1943.

Nikita Khrushchev Enroute To Poland MOSCOW (UPI) — Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khruschfev was enroute to Poland today for a stopover of several days before going on to the Communist party congress in East Germany next week. Moscow Radio reported Khrushchev’s departure Wednesday night without advance notice. It was assumed he took the overnight train for Warsaw. , Nikolai Podgorny, Communist party leader of the Ukraine, went with him. Shortly afterward it was announced that the Polish delegation to East Germany would be led by party leader Wladyslaw Gomulka and North Viet Nam announced it was sending its party chairman Li Hyo soon. Ever since the disclosure last week that Khrushchev had decided to attend the East German congress it has been assumed that most other Communist countries would send their top men. There has not yet been any for- ■ mal announcement on the agenda for the meeting but it seems more and more certain there will be a show-down on the dispute between ■ Russia and Red China.

Berne Seniors Tour County Courthouse Members of the senior class of Berne-French high school toured the Adams county courthouse this morning. The students visited all the various county offices in the courthouse, Circuit court Judge Myles F. Parrish explained certain courtroom procedures to the class members, and prosecutor Severin H. Schurger detailed some of the various duties of his office. TSHOMBE (Continued from Page One) Accompanied by a party of aides, Tshombe headed for Mokambo to meet his interior minister, Godefroid Munongo, and to persuade thousands of African refugees to return to Elisabethville. The presidential motorcade was followed by a large concentration of U.N. troops, supported by dozens of armored cars, trucks and jeeps. Informed sources said Tshombe would return to Elisabethville later in the day. The Tunisian troops took up positions around the presidential palace Wednesday night after U.N. officials received a message from U.N. Secretary General Thant in New York to restrain Tshombe "from further irresponsible acts.” Six hours later the guard was withdrawn, and UN. aide George Sherry, an American, said the ’ arrest was due to a "slight mis- • understanding.” U.N. military officers banned movement past U.N. roadblocks ' in Elisabethville’s suburbs until • noon. The ban presumably was 1 connected with military moves 1 along the road to northern Rhodesia. Informed sources said the U.N. . troops following Tshombe toward ' the border apparently would carry t out an operation to open commur nications between Elisabethville 1 and Rhodesia.
