Parks and Parkins Last week the Celina, 0., city council met in an informal session to consider their budget for the next fiscal year. Celina has many of the same problems that Dacatur has. For example, they are going to raise the appropriation for city parka and playground suppervfeors from $5,000 to $7,500. They also have S6OO for other park facilities. ' And they put $7,200 in their proposed budget fur paving an off-street parking lot —a lot no doubt much like Decatur’s First street lot. They are even putting SI,OOO for waterproofing the outside of their city building. Decatur is ahead of them on that we will have a remodeled city building and a new street garage soon to join the fine new police station. And they studied bids on a snow loader —if winters continue like the last three or four, snow equipment will become more of a necessity, and less •f a luxury. Yes, cities that are about the same size are much alike, and have many of the same problems. We can learn much from the experience of others if we only have a chance to learn about their experiences. Decatur’s parks have been severely handicapped by law under which they are organized. This law limits the tax rate total for the school city recreation, city recreation, and city parks. Decatur has too good a potential park system, and recreation system, to be bound by the forty year-old statute under which it has organized. It is time that the city council started considering the possibility of reorganizing under one of the other statutes concerning parks and recreation. In fact, it may well be necessary, because there ' is no “city school recreation” any more, and this may well be the timo to get out from under the old statute, and take one of the more modern laws for organization. While there is money left from the sale of the light plant, and interest to spend, the parks and youth center may npt reach a financial crisis. But now, while we have time, is the time to think ahead. The people of Decatur want a good park and recreation system, one of which they do not have to be ashamed. They do not want their street money or water department money used for these purposes. We feel that the people of Decatur would support a reorganization of parks and recreation under a new law that is more realistic, in view of today’s needs, than the present one.

A S C S Farm Notes

|»B4 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM IN ADAMS COUNTY: The 1984 feed grata program appears to be attracting many of the county's feed grain producers. Since the signup began, February 10. 135 feed grata farmers have signed an intention to participate in the 1984 program. WHY IS THE PROGRAM MORE ATTRACTIVE IN 1964? While the program is basically the same as in 1963, there are two improvements which make it more attractive to feed grain farmers. First —a feed grain farmer may <#vert as much as 50 per cent of his feed grain base (last year it was 40 per cent) and receive the maximum rate or payment per acre (last year he received the maximum only on 20 per cent, if he diverted 40 pet cent). Second — the higher rate will be paid the producer if he diverts at least 40 per cent of his feed grain base. NEED EXTRA CASH NOW — ADVANCE PAYMENTS AVAILABLE: While this is the same as in prior years — we remind feed grain producers that they may request an advance payment (which is one-half of the total diversion payment) at the time the intention to participate in the program is signed, and receive die payment within two or three days after the application is filed. To date, approximately $40,000 advance payments have been issued.

MULTIPLE FARM OWNERS OR OPERATORS MAY PARTICIPATE: Producers with an interest in more than one farm may participate in the program on one farm provided the feed grain base is not exceeded on other farms. The producer on the participating farm will be eligible for price support cm -feed grains produced on that farm only. Producers who do not participate in the feed grain program are not eligible for price support. PREMEASUREMENT: Premeasurement is a service offered to farmers this year Tor the first time — and is a service very important to the participants of the feed grain program. It is wise not to “think you know” the number of acres in a field, sometimes this causes a hardship to a farmer as well as loss of some income. Premeasurement services may requested at the county office from now through April 15, 1964. By using this service — the producer is “sure” before feed grains are planted and “sure” of his diverted payment, if all requirements relative to diverted acreage are met. He will be “sure" of the measured acreages — this can only be accomplished by premeasurement service. Producers who have signed to participate in the feed grain program and did not request premeasurement are urged to think it over and again call at the office, pay the required fee and sign a request for premeasurement. ACP HELPS ADVANCE WATERSHED PROTECTION: The backbone of any watershed program is the timely establishment of needed conservation practices on farmland within a drainage area. The agricultural conservation program (ACPI is the most effective means of helping to make an organized watershed program possible and of speeding up the necessary land-treatment measures. The total farmer-ACP investment in practices carried out on more than 113,000 farms in these vatersheds under the 1962 ACP program amounted to more than S4O million. 1 The importance of watershed programs for entire river basins or small unstream tributaries is recognized more every Ctay. Such programs — in addition, to direct agricultural benefits — result in more adequate supplies of clean water, less damage and xpense from floods and erosion and from the siltation of streams and reservoirs, and better and more accessible recreational facilities. On-farm land-treatment measures. stabilize the watershed and protest the reserviors from siltation and flood damage. Legislation authorizing organized watershed programs underscores the importance of such land treatment by providing that government assistance may not be ap-

proved for such works of improvement as retention reservoirs unless the farmers, ranchers, and woodland owners in the area agree to carry out adequate recommanded soil-conservation measures and proper farm plans. A program of this type requires cooperation and teamwork of all farmers in the area. The county committee will give careful consideration to applications for ACP cost-share assistance in a watershed program area. RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND CONSERVATION: John A. Baker, assistant secretary states: “As I see it” — rural renaissance is surging ahead. Local private efforts of rural Americans, helped by local, state and federal governmental programs,. are moving the nation into a new and better historic era. Modern society demands recapitalization and greater development of rural areas. In addition to the traditional services of food, fiber, timber and deucated manpower, rural areas are not called upon to provide vital new contriputions to national security and welfare, such as: (1) A revitatization of the abiding values of western civilization that are grounded in rural life;

(2) A satisfying place, away from crowded avenues, where growing numbers of people can recreate mind and spirit; (3) Essential open spaces that must be preserved within growing metropolitan areas; and (4) A rewarding rural environment where a greater number of people can live and work. There is an upswing in rural America. The fa m i1 y farm is growing stronger. Rural cooperatives are extending and strengthening their services and organizations. New and expanding industrial plants, business firms, and professional and trade services are being built. More widespread and higher-quality educational opportuities, and new and improved local government services and community facilities are being ins tallied. Increased provision is being made for needed out-door recreation facilities. Natural, resources both privately and publicly owned are being developed, conserved, and used under improved multiple-purpose management. Local soil and water conservation districts are broadening the scope of their responsibility to include participation in leadership of area development. Federal and state governments have responded appropriately to local private efforts with new and expanded programs of education-, al, technical, and financial resources. Many of these are the assigned responsibility of the department of agriculture- The spirit of dedication of public service that has characterized the people of the department for a century has moved agressively to meet the challenging opportunities or rural reaissance.”

WHAT IS RURAL AREAS DEVELOPMENT? Rural area development means: 1. New homes; 2. Improved hay and pasture lands; 3. Improved water systems; 4. Recreation — a new crop which may be developed by an FHA recreation loan; 5. New factories; 6. Better roads and 7. More power. CONDITIONS OF A TENURE ARRANGEMENT RELATED TO EFFICIENCY OF OPERATION: Tenant or owner? When it comes to making the best use of resources on the farm, there are few differences among owners, cropshare tenants or livestock-share tenants. The conditions and terms of the individual tenure arrangement are more important to farm efficiency than the differences between the broad tenure groups. In broad outline, that is the conclusion of a long-term research project conducted under the joint supervision of the experiment stations of lowa', Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska and the economic research service. The study pointed out that the tenure groups differed in regard to size of business in improvements. But the efficiency with which these resources were used by the three tenure groups was about the same. Not surprisingly, the owneroperators in the study had' a higher net worth on the average than tapants did, if for no other rea-

son than the owner* were older as a croup and had more time to accumulate capital. However, the findings suggest that renting provides a better Income opportunity than does ownership. By and large the young farmer gets more out at his limited resources when he invests in machinery and operating capital than he does when he spreads them over all the inputs required in a small owner-operated unit. The study also pointed to a flaw that exists in most current leases.’ Few tenant-landlord arrangements offer much encouragement to invest in improved buildings on the farm. It is the rare lease that provides for cash rental on the farm house separate from production imputs. And such contracts seldom provide for a return on the investment in service buildings. MEAT MAKES LEATHER: When it comes to hide production, supply and demand are not even kissing cousins. It’s not the leather we demand that determines the supply and types of hides available. It’s the meat we eat. Present trends in beef eating and shoemaking, continued to 1970. indicate there will be » tb 6 million more hides to market by then. A CIVIL DEFENSE STUDY — SUPPLY OF FOOT) AND BEVERAGES: For each person in the United States there is a 16.1 days’ supply of food and a 4 days’ supply of beverages in warehouses at the wholesale level. Most food on hand in wholesale warehouses can be kept for a long period without refrigeration. Canned, bottled, dried, and packaged products represent 13.6 days’ supply or over 84 per cent of total stocks. Fresh food accounts for 2.2 days’ and frozen food 0.4 days’ supply. Stocks are shown for the eight civil defense regions. THE SAFETY CORNER: DON’T WALK YOURSELF TO DEATH: Pedestrians are killed needlessly — each of us, at one time or another is a pedestrian. Avoid these traffic deaths by: (1) Begin training your children early. Teach youngsters not to play in the streets, them never to chase a ball or toy into the street. Make them understand that danger lurks beyond the curb! (2) Set a good example for your children. Youngsters learn their habits, good and bad, from their parents. Make sure you never set a bad example for your childm. Explain to them why they must cross only at corners and obey traffic signals, signs and directions. (3) Don’t try to outrun a moving automobile. A car traveling 30 miles per hour approaches you at 44 feet per second. You can’t run that fast, so don’t get in the way! (4) Remember, cars can’t stop ona dime. It takes about 100 feet, on a dry street —< with good tires and brakes — to stop a car traveling 30 miles per hour. Don’t expect a car to stop in time — it may be impossible! (5) Look both ways before crossing streets. You’re no match for a two-ton automobile, so keep out of the way. (6) Cross only at 1 ’ marked intersections, observnig signals. (7) At night, on the highway walk facing traffic. Wear light colored clothing, to be sure the drivers can see you coming. fß> Drive down every street as though your own child were playing there. Children often forget safety rules, no matter how well they’re been taught. It’s up to every single driver to watch out for children, and drive to keep them alive.' (9) Drive as though you expect the pedestrian to do wrong. Today’s cars move fast — and people of advanced years have slower reflexes. DON’T GAMBLE IN TRAFFIC — WATCH FOR THE PEDESTRIAN

11 Traffic Deaths Reported In State By United Press International The Indiana weekend traffic toll ran into double figures tor the second time this year as accidents claimed 11 victims. The weekend count pushed the 1964 state toll today to at least 141, compared with 138 this time last year. Two double-fatality accidents occurred Saturday near Reynolds and at East Chicago. John Brown, 38, Lafayette, died Sunday morning at an Indianapolis hospital of injuries he suffered in a head-on collision on U.S. 421 north of Reynolds. Herman Mathew, 67, Wolcott, was killed outright in the same wreck. Killed in the crash at East Chicago were Julius Mills and Mrs. Ethel Burton, 34, East Chicago. They were passengers in cars which collided on a city street Paul Gaither, 19, Corydon, was killed Sunday when he apparently dozed while driving on U.S. 231 near Lafayette and crashed into a tree. Dale Edward Schlagel, 4, Indianapolis, died in surgery Sunday a few hours after he ran into the path of a car driven by Charles Dolder, 17, Indianapolis. Lawrence Jenks, 49, Ridgetop, Tenn., died Sunday, 24 hours after he was injured in a two-car collision on Indiana 9 in Anderson. Richard Earl Arthur, 21, Bryan, Ohio, was killed Saturday when he was crushed between his car, on which he was trying to change a tire, and another that had been parked so headlights would shine on the disabled vehicle. That car was rammed from the rear by one driven by Wayne House, 50, Hamilton. Mrs. Marie Magner, 62, Paoli, was killed Saturday night when she was hit by a car as she crossed Indiana 37 south of Orleans. Mrs. Mary Sigman, 48, Montmorenci, was killed Saturday night on a country road near Lafayette when a car driven by her husband swerved and overturned. Ralph E. Sigman, 48, the husband, was injured. Jules Plotkin, Valparaiso, was the first weekend victim when his car was rammed by a Pennsylvania Railroad freight train about three miles west of his hometown. .. ——

No articles will be published without signature of the author. O o Letter to Mayor Dear Sir: You and your committee should be complimented on working to carry out your campaign promise, to stop if possible the erosive action of city water on water heaters. Let us analyze your first statement (electrolysis) which is no more than electric current entering and leaving the plumbing system or water pipes. The deteriorating effect of this action is found 95% of the time in the city water service line entering the building. The only* explanation for this is the water line being covered with earth makes a perfect ground for toe electric current to enter or leave the pipe, which has a very deteriorating effect on this water piDe, but has very little damaging effect on the balance of plumbing system. Therefore electrolysis would have very little effect if any on the water heater. As to your second statement (oxygen in the water) water’ will only absorb so much oxygen, and under pressure even less. Any 10 year old child will tell you that air or water or both is erosive to metal. Both of your statements can be disproved as not being the solution to the real problem. Why will the same make water heater using cistern water last approximately 8 to 10 times longer than water heaters using city water, although electrolysis and excessive oxygen can and does exist in these systems. Ibis writer would like to suggest you and your committee check the mineral or salt content of the city water, which I think will be closer to the solution to the problem. ■ Sincerely yours, Carl V. Gattshall. Local Man Fined For Public Intoxication John A. Engle, 52-year-old resident of 422 W. Adams St., paid a fine of $lO and costs, totaling S3O in city court this morning, -r*,. Engle was arrested by the city police Saturday evening and charged with public intoxication. He was arrested at 8:40 p.m. at Fifth and Adams St., and was held in custody at the county jail until his court appearance today.

f Jewish Survivor Testifies At Trial FRANKFURT, Germany (UPl)—The first Jewish survivor to testify in the war crimes trial of 22 Auschwitz death camp guards said today the Gestapo men “could not sleep without beating a few of their victims to death.” Dr. Otto Wolken pointed at defendants with a trembling finger as he told of conditions in the camp where 2.5 to 4 million persons—most of them Jews—were gassed, shot, and beaten to death by the Nazis. Other war crimes trials were in progress in Braunschweig and Limburg. The first involves five SS men accused of complicity in the deaths of 5,200 Russian Jews; the second .a former Nazi doctor charged with “mercy killings” under Hitler’s plan for racial purity. “They acted like animals back in the stone age—animals that suddenly had tasted blood,” Wolken said of the Auschwitz guards. Most of the defendants — 2i > Gestapo men and an immate who allegedly helped them — looked away from the little Viennese doctor and squirmed in their chairs. “The worst was the atmosphere,” Wolken saidr' “It changed every day. It depended on the mood of the camp commandant, the whim of the chief guard. If the war was going badly, we felt it immediately.”
