THE LAMP Pt IN THE / \ WINDOW ( I Symbolic of the earlier days of American pharmacy was the lighted lamp in the drugstore window. All through the night it glowed, a beacon of hope, a symbol of unselfish service. Although the historic lamp is now practically extinct, the fundamentals of pharmaceutical practice have changed but little. The responsibilities of the pharmacist are greater today than ever before — he is a vital factor in medical care. Your patronage is invited. ■ * ® Kohne Drug Store

BIRNS ALIBI — Allene Leonards, a Garfield Heights, Ohio, second grade teacher, refused to testify in the inquest following the gangstertype slaying of financier Mervin Gold. She was the dinnerdate companion of Shondor Birns, who figures in the investigation, on the night of the daying. Stale May Record Worst Traffic Toll INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Certain factors and projections indicate that Indiana possibly may record this year its worst traffic fatality toll since the horrible 1941 slaughter when 1,478 were killed. As of Sunday midnight, the 1963 toll stood at 659. This was 54 higher than the corresponding date in 1962 when 605 deaths had been recorded. Percentage-wise, the current figure is 9 per cent above a year ago. The 1963 daily rate of deaths for the first 202 days of the year is 3.26. This time last year, it was an even 3 per cent. If the percentage rage had continued throughout the remainder of 1962, the year would have wound up with 1,095 fatalities. Instead, it was 132 higher than that, with 1,227 killed by Dec. 31. Projecting the 3.26 per cent figure through the remainder of 1963 would result in 1,191 deaths. But if you add the same 132 to the total you get from multiplying 365 days in the year by 3.26, it comes out 1,323. In no year since 1941 has the total been as great as 1,300, although it went above 1,200 on five occasions. Studies of traffic death statistics show that while certain months are more or less traditionally heavy or light as far as fatalities are concerned, it is impossible to pinpoint months or seasoris in specific years. Some years start out bad and wind up, surprisingly, better. Others start out good and wind up bad. So predictions are impossible. Nevertheless, the statistics will bear out any fears the safety experts may have that 1963, with seven of its 12 months almost gone, stands to be a bad one. 5 Hospital Admitted Mrs. Mahala Schindler, Berne; Mrs. Walter Fairchild, Paul Saurer, Decatur; Mrs. Dale Myers, Geneva; Harold Hanlin, Pennville. Dismissed Mrs. Larry Elliott and baby boy, Jay Minch, Mrs. Gerald Meyer and baby boy, Theodore Grotrian, Mrs. Kathryn Jessen, Oren Brunner, Decatur; Norman Musser, Berne.

Seek Higher Tax On Railroads, Workers WASHINGTON (UPl)—Railroad and union representatives have secretly agreed to ask Congress to levy millions of dollars in higher payroll taxes on railroads and their workers, informants reported today. The extra revenue is needed to help save the railroad retirement fund from bankruptcy. Future benefits that the fund is required to pay out far exceed anticipated tax revenue. Ironically, railroad labor and management quietly reached the reported agreement on the payroll tax legislation at the very time that they were deadlocked over the work rules issue that threatens a nationwide rail strike. The main feature of the payroll proposal would boost to $450 a month the earnings base to which the railroad retirement tax and unemployment compensation tax is applied. Both taxes apply now only to the first S4OO in monthly earnings. The railroads and their employes contribute equal amounts to the retirement fund. But only the railroads pay into the jobless pay fund. Both funds are in serious financial trouble. One source said he had heard estimates that the proposal would provide SB9 million a year in additional revenue, with railroads and their employes each paying S2B million more into the retirement fund and the railroads paying about $33 million more into the jobless pay fund. Informants said the boost in the taxable earnings base along with other less significant changes in the jobless pay program were agreed upon by representatives of all the railroad unions and representatives of the American Railroad Association. Ingenious Satellite Placed Into Orbit WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Navy has put a satellite into orbit with an ingenious Stabilization system that keeps the same face of the moonlet toward the earth. The device, involving a long boom and a springlike “yo-yo,” takes the sway out of the satellite as it spins around the earth, the Navy paid Monday. The value of the device is to make radio communication easier and, in the case of weather satellites, to keep the cameras aimed earthward. The Navy did not say when the satellite was launched. " ' ■ ■ i ' ' - ' Arrest Hoosier For Canadian Robbery WINDSOR, Ont. (UPl)—Robert Holt, 25, Indianapolis, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday on charges of robbery in connection with the holdup'of a filling station in Tecumseh, Ont. ’ Authorities said Holt allegedly robbed the station of $45 Saturday night. The station owner, alone at the time of the robbery, got Holt's license number and reported it to police, who arrested the suspect a short time later here. Decatur Boy Bitten By Doq Here Monday Mrs. Diana Burdett, 415 Jackson St., reported a dog bit incident to the city police at 2:15 p.m. Monday. She filed a report explaining that her son, Richard, had been bitten by a dog about 2 p.m. Monday. Investigation by the city police discovered Mrs. Mabie Eyanson, 218 N. Third St., to be the owner of the dog and she said she would keep the animal tied up for 14 days to check on the possibility of rabies.

Club Schedule Telephone 3-2121 Miss Kay Shaffer Society Editor Calendar items for each days publication must be phoned In hv 11 a.m. (Saturday J? 30) NOTICE TO LOCAL CLUBS, ORGANIZATIONS To simplify, for your club and this newspaper, the procedure of reporting forthcoming meetings for the club calendar, have your club reporter or secretary send to the Decatur Daily Democrat c/o Society Editor, a schedule stating regular time and meeting place. An example of this would be, a meeting held the first Tuesday of each month at 8 p.m. in the fellowship hall. If, however, your organization meets at the homes of various members you may have an advanced schedule that is given to each member. If this be the case then a copy should also be mailed. It is felt that if local organizations will co-operate much needless work and confusion can be avoided for you and the newspaper. Once the needed information is secured, a chart or file would be made showing the name of the club, and the date, time, and place of the meeting. This would then automatically be added to the club calendar sufficiently in advance and save embarrassment to the club secretary who forgot to put it in the paper until the day before, or worse, the day of the meeting. A phone call would be necesary only if there is a change of plans. Also, if your club does not already have the schedule planned for the year such an outline of events would benefit all members. If you are a member of any of the many clubs and organizations in this area make certain that your reporter or secretary knows of this new system designed to save needless work and prevent errors. If your organization wishes to make use of this system, as. we hope many will, be certain the information sent is accurate.

WORLD’S NEWEST CABLE SHIP — Built to bind the continents of the world closer together with strands of telephone cable, the C.S. Long Lines heads out to sea. First commercial cable-laying ship to fly the U.S. flag, the ship was named for the Bell System’s long-distance division. In the next three years, she will lay some 16.000 miles of telephone cables in the Atlantic, Pacific and Caribbean. Distinctive feature of the Long Lines is her bow sheaves, which are used to pick cable up for repairs and for laying cable in restricted waters.

Family Care Home Aid For Retarded INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A congenial home, run by a sympathetic mother, is better therapy than a hospital for many mentally retarded persons and it also is much less expensive. Dr. Stewart T. Ginsberg, Indiana mental health commissioner, said so today in making public a report on the family care gram of his department. He said that at last count, 434 mentally retarded persons have been taken out of state hospitals and institutions for the mentally ill and retarded and placed in homes. Os these, 268 had been patients in mental hospitals and 166 had been in the schools. Average cost per patient in Indiana's mental institutions last year was $5.25 a day whereas the average daily payment on family care is $3.36. Better Adjustment Cited "But the main thing is not the cost, it is the fact the patient is better off," Ginsberg emphasized. "There are hundreds of cases in which .the patient can live more comfortably and make a better adjustment outside the hospital than in.” He said his department, in selecting a family care home, "looks for one in which the patient and family get along congenially, one in which the patient becomes part of th? family, and goes with them to church, picnics, movies and community affairs. "We want a mother in the home, and want the couple to be people who are understanding and sympathetic. Many of our family care

people are parents who have one child and want another in the home, or older couples whose children are gone and they miss having someone around,” he said. Ginsberg said some of the family care homes are in the country, others in the city. Most of the homes are private, although certain patients have been placed in nursing homes. Need Help, Supervision “These patients do not need intensive treatment of a hospital, but they do need the help and supervision of a home. When they are placed in a family car? home, then patients who do need a hospital can be admitted." The program had just begun to reach an effective stage when the financial dilemma resulting from loss of expected sales tax revenue hit, Ginsberg commented. As of mid-1962, only 67 persons were under the family care program, com pared to the 434 now. "I believe ultimately we can place 2,000 patients now in our mental institutions on this program," Ginsberg declared. However, at the moment, pending release of more funds, he said the added staff needed to direct further expansion of the family care program cannot be hired.
