Need Industrial Land When J. T. Matthews, representative of the Buckeye Division of the Pennsylvania Kailroad, got to talking to the industrial committee charged with getting new industries for Decatur, he really explained the industrial “facts of life” to them. First of all, property owners are just fooling themselves if they think they can sit around and wait for factories to come to them to locate. The men in industry charged with locating new plants must move fast—they are under pressure. They are not interested in locating in a community unless a responsible group in that city already have the land under option for a firm price, heve the land zoned industrially, and be able to provide transportation and utilities there. In other words, if you ever want to sell your land for a new factory, which will eventually be necessary to provide orderly growth for the city, you had better get it under option right now. And, quite naturally, the railroads are most interested in land adjacent to them, and to them only —without access to other railroads. They are interested in seeing new business located where it will do them the most good. .. „ T ■- • So, Decatur badly needs new sites. With only ten acres left in the present industrial park, the city should be ready to expand. Within the last few years, of largest industrial complex in the United States looked at Decatur — but a good site could not be found. Just 18 months ago, a small industry couldn’t find land here for a small plant. The Pennsylvania was able to locate 435 plants along its lines in 1961; but in 1962 this had dropped to 204, because of the competition from communities A new Indiana state law permits cities, towns, counties, etc., to levy taxes to purchase industrial sites. Here in Decatur a few businessmen have usually carried the load, along with the major industries. The average man on the street generally thinks that the “big” factories in Decatur would not want new industry here. This isn’t true, however — the local industrial leaders would like to see the town diversify, so that a layoff at GE or Soya could be absorbed easily by some other type of industry where business might be much better.

We hope that everyone has passed his final exams and will be moving to a higher grade next year. Have an enjoyable summer and forget about school until next fall, that is! See you next fall! - A. C. H. S. — DECATUR CATHOLIC HIGH By Joan Gase S Never before was the home economics class so short. Why? It wa s Mrs. Arthur Miller, a Red Cross instructor, who spoke to the class of 25 girls, who at present are studying a unit in home nursing. Mrs. Miller’s first-hand information was instructive and most interesting. She supplemented her talk with some hospital equipment which she brought along. — D. C. H. S. — Our Blessed Mother, Queen us May, will be honored in a ceremony Sunday evening, May 26. Mary Schurger, sodality prefect, will place a wreath of flowers on the statue of our Queen of May.

S. - Thursday, May 23, is the feast of the ascension, a holy day of obligation. There will be no school on this day. — D. C. H. S. — This coming Sunday is the children’s sodality communion. This Disposal Os Old Missiles Problem By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Every now and then something pops us that seems to fit in with my pet economic theory, which is called “disposalism.” Although it gets rather complicated around the edges, the basic concept of disposalism is quite simple. It rests on the postulate that we are nearing the point where it will be harder to get rid of things than it is to acquire them. Already we can see signs of creeping disposalism. It is, for example. easier to grow more grain than we can use than it is to dispose of the excess production. Atomic powgr can now be readily produced, but getting rid of the radioactive waste materials has become a major problem. And so on. Notes House Testimony A new manifestation of disposalism came to my attention in a “volume of testimony published over the weekend by the House defense appropriations subcommittee. As might be expected, it was Rep. t Daniel J. (Silent Dan) Flood. D-Pa., who laid his finger on the problem. In fact, he laid his thumb on it, too. Flood ' posed the question of what the armed forces intend to do with their old ballistic missiles when the models now in use are made obsolete by more advanced designs. - “Will they be just scrapped or what?” Flood inquired. “Can those birds be put in inventory and used as support sometime like old ammunition? Can they be r eworked? What happens to those birds? We have not done this yet but what do you think we might do?” . As you can see, when “Silent Dan’’ poses a question he touches all the bases and takes the scenic route home. The Air Force officer who was in the witness chair replied that “we just do not have a specific disposition plan now.”

Speches by the junior and senior class presidents, Fred Schurger and Theresa Hain! were followed up with an inspiring talk to the group by Father Contant. - D. C. H. S. — Tuesday at 3:15 the faculties of the grade and high school were hosts to the patrol mothers and teachers aides at an informal tea held in the new home economics rooms.

S. — Students who took the APSL test, (association for the promotion of the study of Latin) received Aspirants For State Offices Looking Ahead By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — December will be the month of decision for a number of Indiana aspirants for the 1964 senatorial and gubernatorial nominations of both Democratic and Republican parties. By that time, the political eager beavers will have had time to digest the results of the 1963 municipal elections. If the Democrats retain most of the city halls, there probably will be a host of aspirants of that party. If the GOP scores substantial gains, many Republican booms will be launched. Another factor will be the standing of President Kennedy in .the presidential popularity polls (his fall. Meanwhile the ambitious ones are marking time, a situation which distresses the state payrollers of both parties. Many of them are eager to latch onto candidates who show the greatest promise of being elected so that they can retain their posts. There are exceptions to the rule, however. Sen. Vance Hartke, fortified by the backing of President Kennedy, already is running for renomination and reelection with little prospect that he will be challenged by Governor Welsh. Ristine Running Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine is continuing his GOP gubernatorial bid, despite dire predictions that his tie-breaking vote for the taxtrtking program in the recent legislative session will damage his chances considerably .He was in Washington this week with Richard Nixon Stewart, newly-elected Republican state chairman. Ristine would like to know how serious is the talk of former Sen. William E. Jenner, Bedford, for the GOP gubernatorial bid. So would a number of other possibilities, including Secretary of State Charles O. Hendricks, Attorney General Edwin Steers and State Tresurer Robert Hughes. The senatorial boom of State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager. Senate president pro tern, appears to be in low gear pending future developments. The Statehouse underlings likewise are a bit concerned about the failure to date of Welsh to hint at his reference for a successor. Welsh also may be awaiting the determination of the Hoosier political trend as indicated by the vote in the city elections. “ Can Wells Be Lured? Observers have pointed out that it might be easier to lure Dr. Herman B Wells, former Indiana University president, into the contest for the Democratic governor nomination if the Democrats show substantial strength in the municipal elections. Other possibilities likewise appear to be waiting, including Roger D. Branigin. Lafayette, former president of the Indiana State Bar Association; Clinton Green, Welsh's administrative assistant and secretary of the Indiana Port Commission; former Bloomington Mayor Tom Lemon; Adjutant General John Anderson, former Shelbyville mayor, and former Appellate Court Judge John Ax, Linton. Meanwhile the Statehouse small try may have to resign themselves to doing their work, a most prosaic prospect.
