Health And Welfare Project Os Clubbers

By A Civic* Clubber In January, the local civics club from St. Joseph school studied • health and welfare services'’ to ascertain how the local government helps to fill these needs of its citizens. All learned that the local government’s concern shows itself in many ways: studying air pollution, checking refuse disposal, helping regulate migrant labor camps, giving shots to prevent various diseases assisting the agvarious diseases: assisting the ages, providing stielter for homelesschildren, conducting training schools for delinquent children, and arranging for the adoption of children. It was the clubbers' task to find out what services of the above mentioned types are provided by Decatur. Several clubbers interviewed Dr. John B. Terveer, the health officer, to find out what the local government provides in the line of health facilities for its aged, physically and mentally ill citizens. The clubbers received pamphlets from the doctors for the club files. Thesd deal with state laws and city ordinances designed to safeguard the health of Hoosiers with respect to public eating places and stores that supply the needs of the people. Clubbers Ama*ed The clubbers were amazed at the restrictions and obligations in regard to cleanliness, purity and honesty that are placed on business houses that serve the general public. This fact prompted the club president, Mike Wolpert, to appoint a delegation to interview the city health inspector, Ray Lehman. Questions suggested by Mike were submitted for use at the interview. These dealt with nature purpose, and frequency of inspection as well as penalty of non-conformance to regulations of the city ordinance. The fact was brought out that all strict rules and restrictions were enacted not to haras* the proprietors, but to ■ safeguard the health of the citi,zen* who frequent the business houses. la order to help the Decatur

government help them, all the civics clubbers took the Junior Red Cross first aid course from a certified Red Cross instructor. Many weeks were devoted to the study of what and what not to do in case of sudden illness or accident in the home or elsewhere. The most enjoyable part of the course was the practical phase in which various forms of bandaging were practiced. The girls usually do neater bandaging than all boys, whose fingers become all thumbs whgp 'taing to manipulate the triangular bandage about a boy’s head, arm of chest. The instructor had to keep reminding the prospective first aiders that all handling of victims must be done gently to avoid discomfort to the injured. Another area of enjoyment was the transportation of supposedly injured victims. In this the boys fared better than the girls. Urged To Volunteer Clubbers were urged to volunteer to do welfare work in their community. Club members might care for babies at certain times of the day, play with children, or write letters for older people. They were also encouraged to provide books, magazines, reconditioned toys, and craft materials for the welfare department. A Junior Red Cross project of the Decatur Civics club of St. Joseph school, sponsored for the fourth year, was the friendship gift boxes for the overseas poor children. The current issue of Junior Red Cross News features several groups of these children receiving their gift boxes. Everything donated for the boxes is new. Items vary from year to year except for the following: pencils, erasers, colors, jot pads, balls, thread, needles, yo-yos, jacks, hankies, balloons, small dolls, whistles, toy cars and trucks. Every box filled amounted to approximately $2. Donations were supplied by the Mary’s Catholic Civics club. Ten boxes were submitted to Mrs. Oelberg of the Adams county chapter of the American Red Cross. She will be instrumental in the delivery of the friendship boxes from Decatur to the national Red Cross Bfflee. The personnel there determine the destination of the gift boxes.

the American Legion post in their town won a hard-fought battle Wednesday. On the seventh ballot by a 3-1 vote, the Marshall County Alcoholic Beverage Board decided to grant the legion only renewal of its beer and wine license. The decision meant there will be no bourbon in Bourbon—at least for the next year. Ted Hayes, representative from the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission, changed his vote after sweating through the twohour session and six deadlocked ballots. The showdown came when the ABC sent the issue back to the local board which last month tied two to two and sought to evade further local action by tossing the matter into the state agency’s lap. ABC Secretary William Condon told the local board to make a decision “even if it takes 50 ballots.” » In the end, the three local members steadfastly held to their previous attitudes and the state’s representative, who had voted for the three-way permit in January, eventually switched to break the tie. About 70 remonstrators attended but only five for each side were permitted to speak before the executive session was held. One of the remonstrators who spoke was Rev. Arthur Heisler. He read a letter from State Rep.

But Hayes had said previously in response to such a suggestion that “I’m not the type who likes to sidestep issues.” As the crowd departed, the 5-year-old daughter of another Bourbon minister developed hiccups. “She was in the wrong group, her father said. Pennsy Requests Cutting Service INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Pennsylvania Railroad has requested the Indiana Public Service Commission to allow it to discontinue handling of intrastate less-than-carload freight at 63 cities and towns. The railroad said the discontinuance “will in no way affect the agency status of stations nor will it affect either carload service or train service to these stations.” The points listed in the petition were Arcola, Huntertown, Fort Wayne, Monroeville, Wallen, Hartford City, Logansport, Onward, Royal Center, Auburn, Auburn Junction, Kewanna, Marion, Sweetser, Dunkirk, Atwood, Etna Green, Pierceton, Winona Lake, Howe, LaGrange, Wolcottville,

I& M Planning To i Improve Facilities Indiana & Michigan Electric company has budgeted $62,175,000 for the improvement and expansion of its facilities in its twostate service area in 1963, R. E. Ddyte, Jr., the utility's Vice president and general manager, announced today. Nearly two-thirds of the total budget—s4o,6oo,ooo—will be spent at I&M’s Tanners Crtek plarit, in LaWrenceburg, where the company has under construction the largest single generating machine ever built by an investor-owned electric company. The 600,000-kilowatt addition to the Tanners Creek plant will be placed in service some time in 1964 and will increase I&M’s generating capability to in excess of 2,000,000 kilowatts, more than that of any other Indiana utility. Community Building Other major expenses in the 1963 operating plan Include an allowance of $11,478,000 for the extension and improvement of com-pany-wide distribution-line and dis-tribution-substation facilities supplying expanding suburbs in many of the 167 communities served by the utility, and another $9,312,000 for higher-voltage transmission lines and transmission substations. Doyle said the company also planned to spend approximately $1,600,000 in the Portland area in 1963 to increase the electric power supply to the newest city on the I&M system and to improve facilities serving customers there.. The Portland municipal electric utility was purchased by I&M last December 31, and the company assumed responsibility for the city’s electric service on January 1. Portland was the third municipal utility acquired by I&M in the past five years. Use Up 5% Doyle noted that the company now serves over 305,000 customers. Residential customers recorded a 5 per cent increase in the consumption of electricity during 1962. He also pointed out that the company recently reached an alltime peak demand of 1,406,000 kilowatts, up 76,000 kw from the 1962 peak. Reduction Asked I&M recently announced application for a 20 per cent reduction in the rate for customers who live in total-electric homes. If approved by the public service commission of both Indiana and Michigan, the new rate structure is expected to strengthen the company’s position in 1963 as the midwest leader in the sale of die total-electric home. Nearly 11,000 I&M customers in its two-state service area live in total-electric homes, Doyle said. Estimated population now served by I&M in northern and east- ' central Indiana and southwestern : Michigan is approximately 1 1,389,000.

Hoffa, Teamsters 1 Face Bond Deadline I WASHINGTON (UPD -Team- ( sters President James R. Hoffa, ■ his international officers ana about half his local unions faced a bonding deadline today, and there was considerable doubt that they had the bonds. Hoffa alone needs a surety bond ’ of about $500,000 to keep his of- < fice after noon today under provisions of the Landrum-Griffin Act. More than a hundred bonding r companies have turned the Teamsters down on the ground they > didn’t handle that type of bond, or that the amount was too big. ( One Firm Offers Bond Only one firm. United Bonding Co. of Indianapolis, has publicly , offered the Teamsters a bond. But , the United Bonding Co. can issue i a bond for no mere than $60,000, i and some of Hoffa’s big-city to- 1 cals need far more than that There were reports that Lloyds ( bf London had agreed to provide all the bonds the Teamsters need. But a Labor Department spokesman said the law required that the bonding company be on the Treasury Department’s list of approved surety companies, and Lloyd's wm Another report was that Hoffa was threatening to go into court to test the bonding provisions of the law unless the government accepted some alternate. Proposes Alternative One alternative Hoffa was said to have proposed was that the Teamster executive board divorce itself from control of union funds, assigning all jurisdiction to Secre-tary-Treasurer John English. The union then would ask for a bank loan or provide its own funds for the bond. But Labor Department officials said the Landrum-Griffin Act specifically provides that a union can have no interest in the company that bonds its officers.. The Teamsters also has suggested an extension of time to try to get more loans. But the law makes no provision for an extension.

Three Brothers Die In Explosion, Fire BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD— Three young brothers were killed late Thursday night when an explosion and fire demolished their two-room home in an urban renewal area here. An older sister and another brother, left to watch the children, escaped. Their mother, Mrs. Doris Thacker, a widow, was at work as a tavern waitress. Police identified the dead as Timothy, 1; Howard, 2, and Reynold, 7. Georgianna, 13, and Harold, 11, escaped. . The three boys were asleep when the explosion occurred. There were conflicting reports of the cause. One said it was a coal stove explosion in the front room. Another said a bottled gas unit exploded, apparently in the kitchen. The home, in the city’s northwest section, was one of numerous units scheduled to be razed to make room lor new housing projects.
