Utilities' Services Studied By Clubbers

By A Club Member Mary’s Catholic Civics members became aware of the interdependence of men as they learned how much essential utilities as water, gas, electricity, and sewer facilities are provided by their local government. All these services which for the most part are taken for granted were the chief concerns of Civics clubs across the nation during February. Four committees, therefore, were set up from the local club to consider through interviews with local officials which in some instances were of private companies, the answers to the following questions: Who provides this service? Is some government official concerned in some way with providing the service? Who is he? Tri what Way is this service related to the local government? What is the cost of each Service? Who determines the cost? Is yottr community being adequgtely served under the present arrqpgement? For what area is this service provided? Ed. Hagan, manager of the local I&M Electric company and Tom Reetz, gas office manager, helped the club in securing the answers to the above questions. A tour of the city water plant by one of the committees has been postponed twice because of the extremely cold weather in February. TJiat tgur is still pending. The fourth was. a special committee set up for the purpose of making a general survey of the quality of the services provided in Decatur. This latter committee was suggested by the club Washington headquarters through the columns of the Young Catholic Messenger. Each committee member interviewed several of her neighbors to see if they are satisfied with the services they are getting: whether they think they are fairly charged: whether they have any complaints: and whether they think any changes are needed. Prior to questioning the neighbors, each clubber had to assure the interviewed that this was a civics project, that names would not be published, and answers would be respected. The results were compiled by Virginia Snyder and presented to Mayor

Gage on February 23. The girls reported that all neighbors contacted graciously received them, for which they are very grateful. Cooperation Through this Study, the local club learned that these services are provided the community because men have worked, together. They have achieved what one man working in lonely isolation could never hope to accomplish. The president of the civics club is especially grateful for the help the mayor, the city council, and in particular, Mrs. Bosse, have given her in locating the personnel of the city utilities to make possible the February club study. The highlight of the February activities and in keeping with the 1962-63 club theme-govenunent-was the eventful and educational trip to Indianapolis, the seat of Indiana state government. Several times, the local club sent delegates to Decatur city council meetings, so it was in keeping that the club also get first hand reports from the highest government of the state through club participation. The sixteen fortunate delegates re-lived their statehouse experiences at the February 15 civics club meeting, at which time they reported to the rest of the club members. Last, but not least, the civics club together with 300 other St. Joseph pupils has completed its work for the fifth consecutive year in a national essay and handwriting contest sponsored by the educational ABC of American Industry. This annual educational magazine offers a unique enrichment to the American school curriculum- The monetary prizes offered to individuals may well provide a pupil’s first opportunity for research. The better the background our boys and girls acquire in their primary and secondary schools, the better citizens they will become. In this effort, schools and businesses work together in our free, democratic, capitalistic system.

Mnse Plans I Rif Congressmen WASHINGTON (UPD—The administration was urjder withering bombardment today by congressional forces who believe a “dangerous" shift is being made in defense strategy. Simply put, this is a shift which foretells the end of piloted nuclear bombers in the nation’s strategic retaliatory forces and complete reliance on ballistic missiles. To critics in Congress and the Pentagon, this is an all-the-eggs-in-one-basket concept. To proponents, it seems to be an inevitable development even if the door is left ajar for some kind of future strategic aircraft. Chairman Carl Vinson, D-Ga., of the House Armed Services Committee opened the heaviest bombardment of the current congressional session Monday in a statement urging expansion of the hotly controversial RS7O warplane program. Vinson’s committee voted, 3L5, to authorize $363 million more than President Kennedy wants for the plane in the new budget. But the issue is broader than any particular aircraft, encompassing the whole question of whether reliance on missiles alone will be safe. Vinson said he wanted no cutback on missiles, then went on: “But the committee sees a growing tendency on the part of the Department of Defense to place more and more emphasis on missiles and less on manned systems. “This is a dangerous course and one which the committee intends to do everything in its power to stop.” The committee’s power is very great indeed, and its concern is duplicated in the Senate Armed Services Committee, headed by Vinson’s fellow Georgian, Sen. Richard B. Russell. But Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara shows no symptoms of wavering, and a head-on collision may be coming. most of them former French colonies. A $739 million aid program was at stake. Authoritative sources said the prograih probably will be delayed at least, six months by the disagreement. The French want the program badly and had hoped to get final approval today. The issue came up at the second session in two days of the Common Market’s council of ministers. The atmosphere was tense

Majority Report On Referendum Okayed INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Senate split precisely on party lines today to accept a committee's majority report recommending passage of a bin calling for a 1964 referendum on whether state funds should be used to start construction of a port at Burns Ditch. The bill came out of committee with a divided report—the Republicans recommending passage of the referendum measure, the Democrats proposing to amend its restoring the measure near its previous form of creating an economic development fund to start construction©! the port and two toll bridges over the Ohio River at Cannelton and Mauckport. Senators debated the issue for nearly an hour, sometimes heatedly, before the Senate rejected the minority report on roll call vote of 25-23 with all Republicans voting against and all Democrats for. The majority report then was accepted by voice vote. The Democratic form of the bill would have created the fund from general fund dollars rather than a 1%-cent per pack cigarette tax increase as proposed in the original bill introduced by two Republicans. The bill originally called for a sl4 million port fund, little more than half the amount Governor Welsh had proposed in a suggestion that a $35 million economic development fund be created for the port, bridges, Monroe Reservoir and state park improvements.

because of French rejection Monday of continued contacts with Britain on economic matters. Authoritative sources said Italy and the Netherlands, known to be particularly bitter over the French veto of Britain, blocked the association treaty by refusing to accept it.

Berne, and John Kohne, 711 Wlnchester St., and Stephen Blythe, 221 Stratton Way, both of Decatur, made Indiana’s junior (freshman) division dean’s list for the first semester, joining a select group of 701 I. U. freshmen who averaged a “B” or better in their first college studies. P. S. Sikes, dean of the junior division, said the first-semester total of 701 is slightly higher than that recorded for the 1961-62 fall term.

MINORITY (Continued from Page One) suited Monday in passage, 47-0, a major piece of port legislation which is not what Governor Welsh and his administrative assistant Clinton Green wanted, but which may be the best they can get. The bill left the Senate with Bontrager and Sen. Von Eichhorn, D-Uniondale, as authors, and will have the Republican floor leader, Rep. Charles W. Edwards, and the Democrat floor leader, Rep. Robert L. Rock, Us House sponsors. It calls for the funds needed to construct an outer breakwater and harbor to be advanced as an investment with interest by private industry. Green said he feared the plan was valueless because he thought the tolls that could be charged against use of the outer harbor would not be high enough to pay back the investment but Bontrager said if the harbor was a good investment for the state, it would be a good investment for the steel mills planning to locate there. The Senate passed three more of the special list of Democratic bills whose consideration averted a stalemate, bringing to five the total now passed. These were: —A measure authored by Kizer and Sen. Keith Fraser, R-Port-land, which allows a damage suit growing out of a traffic case to be filed in the county in which the aec dent occurred, "4_lo. —A resolution continuing the work of the Specific Repeals Committee, which produced 104 bills removing obsolete laws from the books this session, 46-0. —A bill which allows an Indi-ana-Illinois compact for operation of a federally owned airport, 43-0. The controversial Liberty amendment, which would take government out of business and eliminate income taxes, advanced in the House, but remained static in the Senate. The House moved it from secdown amendment efforts by Reps, t Otto Pozgay, D-South Bend, and! Ronald Drake, D-Sullivan. The| author of the Liberty amendment in the Senate, Wendell Martin, R-. Indianapolis, said he would leave' his bill on third reading for a few days to see how the House version fares. > v Demos Block Bill —Sqmopratic representatives, aided bysix Republicans, blocked a bill which would have required a secret ballot voted by union members before calling a strike. The vote was 47-46. The Senate voted down two bills Monday. One, backed by Peterson, called for staggering the terms of county council members. The other, backed by Kizer, would have increased the maximum speed of motorboats on lakes 80-300 acres in size during the hyurs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kizer argued that his bill to

allow 20 miles an hour during this period instead of 10 would provide a compromise between fishermen and water skiers. Sens. Paul Bilby, R-Warsaw, and Morris Hall, R-Marion, charged the bill was dangerous and would ruin fishing. It was defeated 13-31. Senate bills which passed and were sent to the House would: —Require that trucks be driven on the highways at least 300 feet apart, instead of the present 150 feet, 42-0. —License persons who give financial and management services, 36-6. —Specify that a change in salary for county officials come only at the beginning of a new term, 30-13. —Require that petitions for referendums on school consolidation must be signed by 15 per cent of the voters, instead of 5 per cent as at present, 38-4. Strike 01 Railway Clerks Set Today SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—Federal mediators bargained against the clock today in final efforts to avert a strike by railway clerks against Southern Pacific, the West’s largest railroad. The walkout was scheduled for 6 p.m. The strike would idle 50,000 SP employes in Oregon. California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas. . vl Three weeks of negotiations came to a climax Monday when the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks announced its decision to stop work tonight. The railroad immediately issued an embargo on freight Chairman Frank O’Neill of the federal Mediation Service and Assistant Secretary of Labor James
