Tragedy Possible Adams county people today travel all over the world on their vacations. They are able to see and visit areas which a few years ago only the very rich or very brave would try to visit. But at the same time, while Americans in general and local people in particular are traveling to areas with much lower health standards, we here at home have practically eradicated many horrible, painful diseases. A case of smallpox, for example, might go undetected here, it has been so long since one has been seen by local doctors. Like occasional cases of malaria, it would be hard to diagnose. And this is something we should think about. Adams county and Jay county are the only two in this northeast-central area which have less than the required 70% of our school children immunized against smallpox. When 70% of the children are immunized against a disease, it is unlikely to reach epidemic proportions. But the way things stand right now, if a case or two of smallpox were to appear, it could spread like wildfire through our county. Six years ago each school was required to report its immunization record for smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and polio. A review of the record indicates that compliance with the law has increased to nearly 100%, but that there has been very little evident gain in immunization. Adams and Jay are only lax on smallpox vaccinations — they have more than 70% of the others. While no one will force you to get a vaccination against smallpox, you should realize that it is a very deadly disease, with a high mortality, and that if once afflicted, it is too late to take immunization — and probably if someone else gets it, it will be too late to immunize your family. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially when there is no cure. Smallpox vaccine has proved itself over a centure of trial. But it is only vauable if you, and your family, have it. A vaccination scar is small — but pock marks left by the disease, if you are lucky enough to survive, are not so attractive.

3 Industries Employ 300; Annual Payroll Os $1 Million On Site

The people who created the “Greater Decatur Fund’ in 1956 to purchase our industrial park have been more than repaid; three in-, dustries, hiring some 300 people, are located there, the land was sold to them at cost and 10 acres still remain. These figures were made public today by Ed Hagan, chairman of the industrial development committee ,and Gene Rydell, president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, two groups very active in forming the fund. Contributed $20,675 Local business firms, individuals and industries contributed $20,675 in 1956 t o start the program. The money was used as a downpayment on the Schieman property along Patterson street, west of South Thirteenth street, between the two east-west railroads. Nearly aU other land in Decatur had been zoned non-industrial. Total cost of the land was $43,500; three-fourths has been sold, and the revolving fund, with $21,887.26. will get more than its money back. In the meantime, three locallyowned and financed industries have constructed 75,800 square feet of factory space, employ between 270-300 persons, and have payrolls approaching a million dollars annually, on the purchased land. New Factory Planned When the funds were first raised, it was the intention and hope of the contributors that the site couki be utilized by a new factoyr coming to Decatur. When this did not materialize, The Greater Decatur Fund was set up as a permanent program, and Herman Krueckeberg, cashier of the First State Bank, named as treasurer. The ground was then offered to locally owned small industries which had prospects of development. According to a report com- - >-.ir ■ - r ' - '■ ’ hQwjojj CITY SLICKERS The City Slickers 4-H club, Washington township, had their meeting May 8 at seven-thirty o’clock in the Lincoln school with Tim Singleton in charge of the meeting. -—- The pledge to the American flag was led by Joe Meyer, and the 4-H pledge was led by Danny Myers, and roll call by Dan Seltenright. A demonstration, “How to Fertilize a Tree,” was given by Richard and Dave Collier. Future events of the club were discussed and plans were made to take a hike at Pidgeon river game reserve. The next meeting will be held in the Lincoln school May 15. Reporter, Don Spence. Heath Speaks Here Wednesday Evening Earl J. Health, director of the vocational activities department of the Fort Wayne State school, will speak on mental health at the Church of God in this city Wednesday evening at 7:30 o’clock. The Rev. Huston Bever,‘Jr., pastor of the church, today issued an invitation to the public to attend the meeting, which will be held in the sanctuary of the new church on Mercer avenue. The meeting will open with a panal discussion, following which the audience will be invited to participate in a question and answer period. < Health, who has been at the Fort Wayne School since 1960, is a native of Louisiana. He received his B. A. degree from Louisiana Coll'ege in 1950, his M. A. from Ball State Teachers College in 1957 and his Ed. D. from Indiana University in 1960. After teaching in Louisiana, he became adult educational teacher at the New Castle state hospital in 1955 and 1956, and was chief of vocational rehabilitation at New Castle until 1959.

piled by W. Guy Brown, executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, of the original total of 34.89 acres, 24.24 acres have been sold for $34,200, each purchaser having voluntarily reimbursed the fund for at least the actual costs of the ground. Purchasers were the Decatur Industries Inc., Gilpin Inc. and Duo Marine Inc. In addition, one building was sold on South Thirteenth Street “as is” to Dr. R. E. Allison for a veterinarian office. $11,237 Balance From the total of $43,500 original purchase price, when all present sides -are completed there will be p : o Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee | o 0 Q. Is it proper for a divorcee to wear a bridal dress and veil at her second wedding? A. This is out of the question for any but a first marriage. The divorcee may, however, wear an all-white dress and hat, and she may have an attendant and a floral decoration of the chancel. Q. Is music or any special entertainment necessary at a cocktail party or cocktail buffet? A. No in both cases — particularly the music. Background music, such as recordings may be used, but usually the music is not heard above the chatter after the party gets going. Be sure, if music is played, that it is soft and low so conversation may be heard above it. Q. If someone should call at your home during rainy or inclement weather, would it be ail right to ask him to please wipe off his shoes before entering? A. Yes, if you do it in a lighthearted manner. Something like, “Oh, will you please wipe your shoes on that mat? I’ve just been cleaning the house.” Q. Our women’s club is .having several guest speakers at a meeting soon. Who should greet them when they arrive, and bow should they be conducted to their places? A. Ushers should be appointed to meet these people, greet them, and conduct them to the platform or to their places at the table. Q. Recently when I went into a business offiqe and told the receptionist my name, she spoke into the intercom to her employer and said, “A Mr. Gordon is calling.” Wasn’t this a crude way of putting it?

A. It certainly was. The “A” should be omitted.

a cash balance of $11,237.26. There still remains available for industry 10.65 acres, which valued at a little less than the last sale price is estimated at $10,650. The industrial development committee therefore expects to clear a net total of at least $21,887.26 on an original investment of $20,675. Current annual payroll in the area is now estimated at $928,258. Considerable satisfaction was expressed by members of the Industrial Development committee for the enterprise and home-town patriotism of the management of the three industries, who have created jobs for 269 employees in the community and have been able to sell wood, steel and fiber-glass products successfully against regional and national competition. faMtaairtes Help The growth of these comparatively new industries in this area is also being offered as proof that Decatur has qualified and competent men and women in its labor pool. Credit for part of the success of the project was also given by the committee to the management of older established industries in the city which contributed advice, know-how and encouragement to their new brothers, and also to The First State Bank, which assisted in the financing. The Industrial Development Committee has answered on an average of one or two inquiries weekly from factories looking for locations, and are presently in correspondence with two who have had their representatives visit the city and have expressed some interest. Available sites adjacent to the city and credit for building factories are being offered. o 0 20 Years Ago Today 0 -0 May 14, 1943—A district meeting of superintendents and matrons of county infirmaries will be held here June 9.
