open at 7:15 p. nw-with tickets going on sale at thqt time. The first play is a farce by Donald Payton concerning the Maxwell family. Wilbur, a 13-year-old, jots down telephone messages sor 7 thd family, such as "heart about gone/’ and "will stop st 7:30.” A third message refers to his sister s "coffin,” and when Mr. Maxwell jumps to obvious conclusions, a laugh-filled and' entertaining show is in store. The second production is a hillbilly comedy entitled “Great I Smokies,” by Leßoma Rose Greth. The play concerns a widower, Percival, and a widow, Daisy, with Daisy very interested in getting "hitched." When Daisy and her two children came to call on Per-

cival and his family, all the children are dressed to look like young babies. The situations and oroblems arising between the two families are quite hilarious. Both plays are one-act, and are directed by Mrs. Rebecca Worthman and John Butler, junior class sponsors.

Farm Bureau Head Speaks Last Night “The most valuable farm work a farmer can do. on May 21 is take a little time and vote in the national wheat referendum,” a state farm organization leader declared Thursday night. The speaker was George Doup, president of of the Indiana Farm Bureau, who spoke to a gathering of Adams county farmers at the Adams Central high school gymnasium. “The question to be asked of wheat producers all over America is a simple one,” Doup explained. The ballot will read: “Are you in favor of marketing quotas for wheat for the 1964 crop?” “Yet, if two-thirds of the farmers voting say “yes” to this question, they will have approved the most strict government .control program for wheat that has ever been seriously considered for any farm crop,” Doup warned. “Farm Bureau members have studied the complicated quotacertificate plan for administering this control program and see it as an opening wedge to similar controls on feed grain, livestock, dairy products, poultry, and ethers,” the farm leader charged. “In short, Farm Bureau thinks a ‘no’ vote is the only way to clear the way for a better wheat program and stop this cancerous philosophy which would end up making the U. S. government the co-manager of U. S. farms,” Doup said . “The American farmer can’t afford the government control, federal tax load, or the damage to his foreign markets that adoption of this quota-certificate plan will undoubtedly bring,” he told his audience. “Every day we hear about goverenment ‘managing’ something else _ managed news, managed steel prices, managed currency, and managed education. —From long experience, farmers know what government management can do to the efficient agricultural plant, and they don’t cherish the thought of dragging the livestock, poultry dairy, and feed grain parts of the industry down to the depths of trouble where wheat, now is,” the speaker insisted. “Freedom to manage his own farm and risk of making big fits or failing has created the in? centive for U. S. farmers to build the most productive and efficient agriculture in the world today. This has been the priceless jewel 4 which our farmers alone have had.

This is the jewel which hungry Communist countries have lost. Government management of American farms — such as the quotacertificate plan for wheat would saddle on farmers’ backs — must be stopped decisively at the wheat referendum polls,” Doup concluded. j Red Cross Fund • Mrs. Wilmer Bultemeier Washington Sec. 9 $15.50 Clark Smith Washington Sec. 15 14.50 No Name Washington Sec. 24 3.00 Mrs. Annie Grote Union Sec. 31 11.00 Brice Sheets Root Sec. 31 7.00 Robert Meshberger Hartford Sec. 10 6.00 Robert Meshberger Hartford Sec. 11 . 3.00 Clyde Striker Hartford Sec. 16 4.00 Lester Zimmerman Hartford Sec. 23 10.00 Le Roy Stauffer Hartford Sec. 24 11.00 Clyde Striker Hartford Sec. 25 1.00 Clyde Striker Hartford Sec. 26 8.00 Mrs. Joseph Glendening Hartford Sec. 34 3.00 Mrs. Ralph Leyse Kirkland Sec. 22 8.00 Warren Nidlinger Root Sec. 24 1.00 No Name Wabash Sec. 1 5.50 Mrs. David Sprunger Wabash Sec 2 5.50 Mary Hirschy Wabash Sec. 3 11.00 Mrs. Doyle Mathias Wabash Sec. 51®.® Mrs. Doyle Mathias Wabash Sec. 6 4.00 David Zuercher Wabash Sec. 8 .... 6.00 No Name Wabash Sec. 9 100% .... 16.00 Wesley G.

Dcrwin, Bill Kuhnle, Ferris Bower, Bill Zoss, Norman Steury, Dick Heller, Jr., and Wayne Roahrig. Movie Bbowa Coonan showed a movie depicting the story of how Wildcatting got its start in Fort Wayne in the summer of 1961, showing how “Mr. Mac” and Bob Cowan, former professional football player and a teacher in the Fort Wayne school system, witnessed the reactions of a number of boys after they were “cut from the team.” “Mr Mac” and Cowan then set about to do something about the problem — to give every boy the opportunity to play baseball in an organized program. The film also displayed the wonderful reaction of a number of Fort Wayne mothers to the Wildcat program. Following the film, “Mr. Mac” spoke to the group, asking for their support and cooperation of the program in this city. He pledged the advice and guidance of himjelf and the Fort Wayne officers in assisting setting up of a Wildcat League in Decatur. He presented a tape recording on the philosophy of positive thinking. Braun detailed some of the background of the beginning of Wildcatting in Decatur, telling of how the formation of a program here got its start in the Decatur Optimist chib many months ago. Wildcat boys then gathered pledges and money. Braun too requested the support of fathers, mothers, civic leaders, and all persons of Decatur, in making the Wildcat League "go.” The league has a month in which to raise its goal of $3,600, so that it can obtain the maximum amount from Central Soya, $1,200, and reach its goal, Braun explained. It is hoped that every industry and civic group will want to cosponsor the league, and will respond immediately, he added. The names of the contributors who have redeemed their pledges or made cash contributions will be listed daily, he said. Those who contributed cash initially include: Lee Owens, Carroll Schroeder.
