Single copies 7 cents On Stealing The other day a friend of mine and I were discussing stealing and shoplifting by young people. We decided that there were few individuals who could not recall some incident of stealing in their childhood of which they were thoroughly ashamed. For example, the editor when a little boy lived in Indianapolis. About two. blocks from his home was a ten cent store. He used to walk over there and make purchases with his mother. As he grew older, he occasionally was allowed to go albne. One day wmW in the store he saw some particularly attractive marbles. But he didn’t have any money. The little boy, without much thought, reaChAs he walked down the street, he felt more and more guilty. He knew he had stolen —he knew this was wrong. When he got home, he was so ashamed he hid the marbles. Finally, he couldn’t stand it any longer. He took the marbles hpck to the store, and in tears told the lady what he had done. The lady was very firm with him, and told him he had stolen, and how bad it was, and then thanked him sos returning the marbles. The little boy never stole again. He had learned his lesson. But what happens when a little t boy or little girl doesn’t learn a lesson? What happens when it continued? Stealing something, and being ashamed of it, is a common experience to us all. But when young people are able to talk among thepiselves about what they have “lifted” (stealing sounds bad, but “lifted" doesn’t seem quite so serious) — then the entire moral fibre of the community is in danger. It is no longer “kid stuff.” ’ We as a community are able to live together because we are able to agree to abide by a certain minimum code. We do not kill each other. We do not steal from each other. We pay for what we buy, etc. Whenever a group, consciously or unconsciously, abrogates this agreement, which we call our moral code, then our society and civilization are in danger. This is the third, and we hope ,the last, of a series of editorials on shoplifting and stealing. We hope that we have been able to focus attention on a problem of our society — all our society. We hope that it can be corrected- The purpose of these editorials is not to place blame, but to try to get everyone envolved to work together to stop such practices, to make it so heinous among the youngsters that they would not admit to each other that they had done it, but would return anything stolen, and confess, and clear their conscience. It will take all of us — businessmen, ministers, parents, teachers and most of all — our good, honest young people, themselves —to do this. Our motto has always been — Decatur Can and VN ill.

Supreme Court Asks Further Racial Brief WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Supreme Court, by a 5-4 vote, pressed the federal government today to submit further views on whether restaurapts and other places of public accommodations may bar Negro customers on the basis of race. In submitting its views to the court last month in a series of ‘sit-in” cases from Maryland, Florida and South Carolina, the Justice Department had carefully skirted the broad constitutional questions involved in such discrimination. The court in today's order “invited” the solicitor general to file a further brief on the controversial issue. / This could be a hint—but not a certainty—that the court may wish to issue a broad constitutional opinion on the public accommodations question which is a major feature of President Kennedy’s civil rights bill now before Congress. In arguing the sit-in convictions before the court in October, the solicitor general contended that the broad constitutional issue need not be decided. He suggested that the case could be disposed of on narrow questions of law. Today’s order, however, asked him to submit a further brief on the issue within 30 days. In other actions today, the court: —Refused a hearing to two Maryland Veterans Administration doctors who wanted the court to decide whether thousands'* of persons who live on federal property throughout the United States have the right to vote. Today’s rejection of their appeal left standing Maryland court rulings that state legislature rather than the courts should decide the question of voting eligibility. —Granted a hearing to two Junction City, Kan., newsdealers —Harold and Robert Thompson — who challenged the constitutionality of their state’s obscenity law. The Thompsons appealed a Kansas Supreme Court decision upholding the law giving judges the right to order books deemed to be obscene burned or otherwise destroyed. Youth Is Arrested On Bluffton Warrant David Beery, 18-year-old resident of 510 W. Grant St., was taken into custody by sheriff’s department and state police of~flcefs!'off a warrant signed by'a near-Bluffton resident. Harry Wayne Penrod, ,route 3, Bluffton. signed an affidavit charging Beery with assault and battery, concerning an incident that occurred on U.S. 224, west of Decatur, Friday evening of last week. Beery was later released from jail after posting SIOO bond, and has been cited into city court, with no date of appearance as yet set. Rocky Colavito Is Traded To Athletics KANSAS CITY, Mo.

Virginia Assembly Meets On Poll Tax

By ALFRED McCORMACK Jr. United Press International RICHMOND, Va. (UPI) — A “lame duck” special session of the Virginia General Assembly meets Tuesday to consider legislation which would short circuit .the anticipated federal ban ork the poll tax. 'the confroversial poll tax is expected to be outlawed in federal elections next year with passage of the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Thirty-six of the necessary 38 states have reified the antipoll tax amendment which passed in the 87th Congress with bipartisan support. Virginia is now one of five states to require a poll tax of its electorate. The others are Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. Gov. Albertis S. Harrison, who called the special session, wants the poll tax kept on the books in state and local elections as does U.S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D-Va., czar of Virginia’s Democrat organization. Requires Two Books This would require maintaining two sets of books at the polls—one for those paying the 51.50 poll tax and another for those fulfilling requirements for voting in federal elections but refusing to pay the poll tax. Last week Harrison handed down the administration’s package bill to the appropriate legislative committees, called into session a week early. The bills would permit Virginians who refuse to pay the poll tax to vote in presidential and congressional elections by filing a certificate of residence six months before the election—the same cutoff date as for paying the poll taxes. Those failing to pay the poll tax could not vote in state or local elections. '■ Harrison and the state attorney general believe the proposals would prove compatible with the U.S. Constitution. Harrison said he hopes the special session will last less than five days. Figured on a four-day basis, cost ofthe session would be approximately $20,000. Considerable 'opposition has been voiced in the state to retention of the poll tax -at any Two Are Fined In City Court Today Two fines were paid in city court this morning, with a third case being continued for one Week. James C. Miracle, 27, of route 2, Celina, 0., paid a fine of $1 and costs, totaling s2l, on a conviction of public intoxication. He was arrested at a service station in Berne at 5:45 p.m. Saturday by the sheriff’s department. Harold Nelson Ballard, 18, of 904 N. 11th St., paid a fine of $lO and costs, amounting to $31.75 on a charge of reckless driving lodged against him following a two-car accident at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Herbert E. Smith, 33-year-oid 222 N. Fourth St., resident, charged with public intoxication, receiv- [ ed a continuance, and ■ is scheduled to appear in city ‘ court next Monday morning. Smith was arrested by the sheriff's department at 6:15 p.m. Saturday on Winchester St. in Decatur, and was later released on SSO bond.

level. However, Harrison’s proposals are expected to clear both houses which are dominated by conservative Byrd-or-ganization Democrats. Stiff Opposition Clamoring against retention of the poll tax are most Republican politicians in the state; Negro dnd labor organizations, church groups and women's clubs. Leading* thes anti-poll tax forces is Rep. W. Pat Jennings, D-Va., and a dissident Democrat faction calling themselves “Virginia Democrats for the Repeal of the Poll Tax.” Democrat Sen. Edward L. Breeden Jr., a Norfolk lawyer, has drafted a resolution calling for a referendum for a constitutional convention to repeal the poll tax for all elections, and Republican lawmakers plan to introduce anti-poll tax legislations this week. Such legislation, however, is expected to be buried in the privileges and elections committee on which sits Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr., son of the U.S. senator. Administration Democrats say they want the poll tax merely because it is a convenient way to keep voter lists up to date. Republicans charge the Democrats with traying to manipulate the electorate and perpetuate the Byrd organization. Senator Byrd said he considers the poll tax a simple and nbn-burdensome way of determining which Virginians are eligible to vote. He indicated he did not like annual registrations as a means of maintaining up-to-date voting lists. J. 0. Dunbar Speaks Here This Evening J. 0.

reachlng , n> % £ PUILING You have 639 muscles in your body. You can exercise and develop them for life-long health and vitality. Or you can live lazily and grow fat or flabby. And possibly become a premature victim of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. There isn’t a shadow of a doubt that physical well-being at all ages depends to a great extent on regular activity or exercise. But there’s so little incentiveto exercise now—what with push buttons and sedentary pastimes—that flabbiness begins in early childhood. Yet, more than half of our children do not get at least 15 minutes of planned, vigorous, body-building activity during each school day! Consequently, nearly one-third of them can’t meet minimum stand- ’ ards for strength, agility and flexibility. The development of physical fitness—for all boys and all girls—should begin early in life. What about the physical education program in your child’s school? Is it planned, mainly for students interested in varsity sports? Or is it geared to the development of average boys and girls—those most in need of physical conditioning? The President's Council on Physical Fitness urges you to take as much interest in this phase of your child’s development as you do in his academic development. Work with your school officials and community groups to establish a program that emphasizes vigorous activity daily. Bringing up youngsters with strong, agile bodies js essential to their future—and the future of our country. To help you evaluate the program in your school, the President's Council on Physical Fitness will send you a free booklet The address is Washington 25, D.C, ©■ I ’ V'CHir
