THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

METHODIST CHURCH PLANS NEW ENGLAND DINNER Onp of the oldest annual church dinners in the Decatur area will be held Wednesday, November 20, when the ladies of the Methodist church serve their New England dinner from 5 until 7 p. m. at the church. The custom of the dinner dates back to the Civil War days when the proceeds were used to help defray the expenses of the church budget, including the pastor’s salary~ During those years, with so many members serving in the Union army, church budgets suffered. Many local churches were forced. to close their doors because they did not have sufficient funds to pay the pastor. The local Methodist church was faced with the same situation, hence the ladies of the church decided to take action, and formed tl*e ladies mite society. Working in connection with the church budget canvassew, the ladies raised enough money by holding church suppers to fill the budget. In 1881, when the oldest pt. rt of the present church was being planned, the ladies again came to the aid of the financiers. They planned a complete week of dinners and again contributed much to the betterment of the churyh. In the early 1900’s *the ladies society changed its na’me to the Ladies Aid with Mrs. John Niblick, president of the newly renamed organization. At that time the annual dinner was held on Thanksgiving day and was limited to church families. It was decided later that family gatherings in the home y;ere more appropriate for Thanksgiving, and the date was set for about a week prior to Thanksgiving day, this time with the public invited. , In 1940 the ladies again changed their name, this time to the Woman's Society of Christian Service, a name they still have today. The only time the dinner was not held was during World War II when food was rationed. Until last year when the school cafeteria was started, a noon lunch was served in connection with the New England dinner. This has been discontinued and only an evening meal will be served. The meal this year will be chicken and ham. A bazaar, sponsored .by the W. S. C. S., will also be held in connection with the dinner. The public is invited to attend.

Sales Tax Not Vital Factor In Losses INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — The Indiana Democratic Stale Committee concluded Thursday that the controversial two per cent sales tax was not a factor in the party’s, loss of 24 city balls to the Republicans in the Nov. 5 municipal election. District -by - district reports studied by the committee showed ' that local problems were the main factors, the committee said, indicating that not only the sales tax but also all other state issues played little if any role in the change from a 72-36 mayoralty margin for the Democrats to a 62-49 margin for the Republicans. The conclusion, ho we v er, failed to solve the mystery of why the chief losses were in the industrial cities. Fifteen of the 24 Democratic mayor losses ~were among the state’s 25 most populous cities. The Democrats noted that they won in every city in which the Republican nominess had charged that his opponent was handpicked by Governor Welsh. Welsh had suggested the analysis as a means of helping the committee plan- strategy for the 1964 election. The Democrats suffered a net loss of only nine mayor offices among 83 cities outside the “big ■ 25.’’ But they were routed from Fort Wayne, South Bend, Muncie, Anderson, Richmond, La...fayette, Elkhart, Marion, New Albany, Michigan City, Mishawaka, Bloomington, LaPorte, Logansport and Columbus while the Republicans held onto Kokomo and Hobart. The heavy losses in the industrial cities with large labor union populations led observers to speculate that they were due to a rebellion by union members over the sales taxwhich Indiana State AFL-CIO President Dallas Sells fought and which Governor Welsh defended reluctantly. 4-H Clubs. May Draw From Separate Funds .. INDIANAPOLIS. (UPI) —lndiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers advised Lt. Gov. Richard Ristine that 4-H clubs may draw funds under both 1877 and 1905 laws and that money appropriated under one law. is not deducted from the total appropriated under the other. The dispute leading to the request for an opinion arose in Jasper County where the county commissioners appropriated $4.400 but the auditor “apparently refused to pay off the money for the reason that other funds already paid to the 4-H club must be deducted from this amount."

Leaking Gas Tank Studied In Blast INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Purdue University experts will be asked to determine whether a leak in a liquid petroleum gas tank is of any significance in an investigation of the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum explosion which killed 71 persons. Chief Charles Hill of the Indianapolis Fire Prevention Bureau Thursday confirmed reports that one of the five tanks impounded at the Coliseum after the blast had developed a leak before it was shipped to Purdue. Hill said Indianapolis firemen weighed the tank Nov. 1, the day after the Halloween blast, and found it weighed 231.5 pounds. On Nov. 5 it weighed 132 pounds. The Purdue experts found the tank empty. Hill said that it appeared the tank already was empty when it left here for Lafayette. “I don't know how it happened. I know there was a small leak in the thread connection at the valve ’ cylinder and gas was leaking in the seat of the valve," Hill said. Hill also said that someone had replaced part of a connection from a regulator on the tank. He said the piece of the connection had been found at the blast scene and matched with the regulator. ' The tank was one of five re? moved from the concession commissary under the stands where the blast occurred. Gas is believed to have caused the explosion. Meanwhile, Chief Investigator Bernard Sweeney of the state fire marshal’s office said a Muncie man who photographed part of The explosion had volunteered to appear at a hearing here. Sweeney began a search for Carl Defenderfer Jr. after spotting his picture in the current issue of a national magazine < Lifei-. He located him Thursday.

"The homeland and the people expect us to score more victories until the last page is reached." he added. Communist terrorists killed two members of a U.S. aid team —a rice expert from Nationalist China and his Vietnamese interpreter — in an ambush about 50 miles south of Saigon Wednesday. The government said the Communists opened fire on the car in which the men were riding as it was going through a village. Its driver was wounded. The two men were employed by the U.S. Operations Mission, which is helping farmers in Viet Nam increase their crop productivity.
