Phony Baloney Have any of the fast-talking, out-of-town door to-door salesmen ever sold you on something, only to leave you sadly disappointed later when the “goods” or “service” arrived? If you have ever been fooled, don’t just forget it — report it. Occasionally even the most watchful homemaker will find herself duped by unethical business practices — high pressure salesman, lies, or misrepresentation of product. When this- happens, you fail in your duty as a citizen if you keep it to yourself. You, and all your friends, run a greater risk of being fooled again. And the culprit is allowed to continue in the area. There are many agencies in Decatur and Indiana that try hard to control unethical business. But they need your help to be effective. These agencies include the following: 1. The Decatur Chamber of Commerce. It provides information on merchants in the area. You cannot go wrong by calling the Chamber, and asking their opinion of a salesman or company. The Decatur Chamber is dedicated to high business standards, so that people will have the faith in Decatur’s business that these estabilshed merchants deserve. 2. The Federal Trade Commission, Washington 25, D. C., is responsible for curbing unfair competition, including misleading advertising. 3. The Post Office department is always interested in any cases or see unusual offers through the mail, and swindles were formerly quite common there. Now, the mails are efficiently policed by Federal agents. 4. Stocks and bonds are rgulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are sometimes sold by telephone or door-to-door. The most important point to remember is this: If you know your merchant, and know that his shop will be there tomorrow, you can trade with him in confidence. _lf the price is a few pennies higher, it is a small amount for the assurance that the goods are of standard quality. It does you no good to save a few pennies on paint, only to have it wash off the bam the next good rain — or to have other expensive repairs made, only to find that none were necessary. If anyone cqjnes to your house to “inspect” the boiler, ask for his name and address, and check immediately, before letting him in, with the police.

Senior Citizens Month During May In observance of the first national senior citizens month during May, Mrs. Ruth H. Lane, Fort Wayne, social security district manager, pledged a renewed effort on behalf of her office staff to maintain a high level of service to the public generally and to the aged residents of Adams county in particular. Mrs. Lane pointed out that President Kennedy’s proclamation, designating May as senior citizens month, urges all persons “to cooperate in its observance by increasing community awareness of the problems faced by older men and women, strengthening services and opportunities to meet their special needs, giving recognition to their past and present contributions, and making this special pionth the beginning of continuing interest and activity on their behalf.” The latest benefit statistics for this area provide evidence of the contribution senior citizens make toward economic stability in the community. More than 2,276 Adams county men and women over 65 receive social security monthly benefits which total more than $1,819,272 each year. Studies show that the senior citizen spends the biggest part of his social security check in the community for food, clothing,' and housing. And the number of people receiving benefits is constantly increasing as more and more people join the senior citizens ranks each year. Mrs. Lane invited all non-retired workers over 65 to visit the social security office for a complete explanation of the provisions of the social security law as it applies in the individual’s particular circumstances and urged senior citizens who are working while receiving social security to phone or visit the district office if they have questions about how ings will affect their benefits."*

House Passes Bill Hiking Debt Ceiling WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy today still boasted an undefeated 1963 record in his battles with House Republicans. But only because Democrats rallied to his support in unprecedented numbers to pass a measure hiking the national debt ceiling. Administration forces overruled almost solid Republican opposition of the bill to boost the $305 billion ceiling on the debt for a new record high. With only 17 members not voting, the bill squeaked through on a vote of 213-204. Republicans opposed it 172-1. Democrats supported it 212-32. The House-passed bill w ould permit the national debt to climb to a new record high next month so the government can keep paying its bills. The debt now stands at $303.5 billion. According to Treasury projections, it will surge in midJune more than $1 billion above the record high $305.5 billion peak reached last Nov. 30. Hie debt now is subject to a legal ceiling of $305 billion which drops under existing law to S3OO billion on June 25. The stop-gap legislation, which the House sent to the Senate, would boost this level limit to $307 billion through June 30 and set it at $309 billion during July and August. The Treasury has told Congress the debt limit w ill have to be raised again — possibly to $320 billion — to accommodate the deficit spending in prospect after August, particularly in view of the tax cut President Kennedy wants enacted this year. Michael Ehler Is Given Scholarship Michael Ehler, son of Mrs. Mildred Ehler and the late J. L. Ehler, of 108 N. 4th street, received today a SSOO scholarship from the American Cancer society to take post-graduate studies in x-ray at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Cut Health Hazards From Pesticide Use WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy has ordered' immediate government steps to cut down the health hazards resulting from the widespread use of pesticides. Kennedy Wednesday night revealed a 46-page report from his Science Advisory Committee warning that the environment is suffering “increasing contamination” from chemical poisons. The scientists said pesticides have been a great boon to mankind and th?ir “judicious” use must be continued. But it urged prompt steps to “minimize risks” to humans resulting from “continued exposures to small amounts of these chemicals.” The committee made a study of pesticides following the controversy that arose around Rachel Carson’s book “Silent Spring.’’ In a statement accompanying the report, Kennedy said he had ordered federal agencies to carry out the committee’s recommendations withtin their authority, and to prepare legislation for Congress where warranted. A senate subcomipittee begins hearings today on pesticide hazards. Dr. Jerome Weisner, chairman of the President’s Science Advisory Committee, will present the committee’s report formally to Congress at the opening session. The committee agreed with Miss Carson that there was “evidance of increasing environmental contamination.” The committee said there is urgent need for more research to determine how much pesticide is reaching human beings through food, water and air, and what “long-term impact” small quantities of these poisons may have on health. It recommended that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare undertake “comprehensive” studies of these questions.”
