Stewart’s stay order against the Indiana State Election Board appeared likely today to have no effect on the filing of declarations by May 5 primary candidates for legislative nominations. Stewart’s order at Brazil Friday prohibited the board from carrying out the provisions of an interpretive resolution which dissolved the senatorial district represented in the 1961 and 1963 Legislatures by Sen. Kenneth F. Reagin, D-Cory and denied Rea gin the right to seek reelection. But Reagin filed for renomination, nevertheless, and filed a petition in Stewart’s court asking him to declare what the board did to be unconstitutional. Stewart’s order was temporary pending a hearing and final decision on the issue. Meanwhile, candidates went ahead filing and Secretary of State Charles O. Hendricks con- * tinued to accept declarations for seats in the reapportioned senate as outlined by a new 1963 law and interpreted by the election board. The declarations Friday included one from John Thomas, R-Clay City, seeking the same seat Reagin held. Like Reagin, Thomas filed for two legislative districts, the old and the new. Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers conferred with Governor Welsh’s staff in the light of the Stewart order and said later SUNDAY MENU at Country Charm Restaurant: Country Fried Chicken, Roast Tenderloin with Dressing.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Statewide Photo Contest Planned

Mg Mrs. Ferol Friedßne Meeker Uy— GOV. WELSH examines one of the first displays of Indiana artists to be seen in the state house rotunda display of the state house art salon exhibit, sponsored by the Indiana tourist council. The Indiana tourist assistance council, operating from the lieutenant governor’s office, is hoping to call attention to the general public of Indiana as a scenic and historical area well worth visiting. ' they would wait until Stewart takes a further legal step before acting. Steers said the order did not prevent Hendricks from accepting declarations under the reapportionment plan. May Complete Ruby Trial Jury Today DALLAS (UPD — This is the day for completion of the Jack Ruby murder jury. Judge Joe B. Brown believed the two jurors needed to fill the box would be swarn in by sundown. If they weren’t, he was ready to get right on into the dark of night in marathon sessions. Both the state and defense were confident there would be a full jury box waiting Monday morning for the start of testimony. Texas custom is for this type of trial to begin with evidence by the state, without opening ' statements by opposing attorneys. However, they may make such statements if they desire, and defense attorney Melvin Belli said he hasn't decided if he will or won’t. The Saturday session was called by the judge when the 126th prospective juror to be questioned in two weeks of jurpicking was excused late Friday. Only one juror, the 10th, had been selected during the day. ~— He was J. Waymon Rose, 41, a furniture manufacturing agent, former Navy pilot, Presbyterian, and family man who had seen the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald on television. Ruby is charged with murder-with-malice in that slaying. • The defense will try to prove temporary insanity. Two of its psychiatrists are scheduled to arrive here Sunday — mainly to take a look at the thin and nervous Ruby. Belli has said he is in such an agitated mental state that he probably will break down sometime during the trial. Prevent Tarnish Does it annoy you to have the Jndtal parts of handbags or luggage tarnish? You can prevent this by covering the metal with shellac — or with some ’ colorless fingernail polish. Sardine Sandwiches When making sardine sandr wiches, try chopping a pickle into the sardine paste for an ’ especially good taste.

Mrs. Ferol Friedline Meeker, a native of Monroeville, and wife of Dr. George Meeker of Peru, has been named chairman of the statewide photograph contest committee to find good photos from all parts of Indiana. Mrs. Meeker is also serving as treasurer of the art salon committee of the Indiana tourist council. She and her husband have been quite active in the Indiana Historical society and many cultural organizations in the state for several years. To Boost Indiana The purpose of the contest is to accumulate a file of photographs, both black-and-white and color, in the files of the Indiana department of commerce and public relations. These photographs would be catalogued and used for many purposes, such as official state publications, tourist literature, source material for magazines, and book articles. All entries remain the property of the Indiana department of commerce and public relations. Entries in the color photograph division, competing for prizes of SIOO, $75, SSO, $25 and $lO must include a color slide, plus a 5 by 7 inch print, mounted on 8 by 10 inch white mounting stock. An entry in the black-and-white division, which will be competing for the same prizes, and 40 honorable mention c e r t i fi c a t es, should include a black-and-white negative, an 11 by 14 or 8 by 10 photograph, mounted on 16 by 20 inch white mounting stock. AU On Display All persons entering the conest will receive participant certificates. Also all pihotographs submitted as entries will be on display in the state house, at a date to be announced later. Any citizen of Indiana, or member of a photograph or camera club, which has its headquarters in Indiana, may submit one or more entries. A separate entry blank must be completed for each entry. All entries must be photographs taken in Indiana. Photographs may be of any season. All entries remain the exclusive property of the Indiana department of commerce, to use as the department sees fit. The department reserves the right to use all entries to publicize the tourist, resort and vacation advantages of the state of Indiana.

The decision of the judges xtfill be final. A signed release, granting permission for their photograph to be used for tourist promotion purposes, must be secured from every recognizable person in the photographs. Such release must accompany the photo entry. All entries must be received by the photo contest chairman, room 332, State House, Indianapolis, Ind., 46204, on or before June 30. Meeting Thursday On Small Business Thursday, March 5, John R. Mulvaney will represent the small business administration of the U.S. government in Fort Wayne. He will be at the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce to confer and advise small business entrepreneurs on any financial problems encountered by them.

Easier Slicing When slicing angel food cake or meringue pie, dip the knife into boiling water before cutting each slice, and you’ll have perfect slices with no rough edges. Lustrous Linoleum One old-fashioned way to add luster to your linoleum, if you’re not going to wax it, is to add a little sour milk to the rinse water when you wash the floor. Handy Shoe Rack A very handy and usable shoe rack can be made of an ex-cur-tain rod. Just tack this rod on the inside of your closet door, and hang your shoes on it by their heels. Bathroom Tile To re-whiten the blackened cracks between the ceramic tiles in your bathroom, scrub clean with a stiff brush. Mix white tile cement and water to make a paste. Rub this paste into the soiled joints, but wipe the tile clean before putting on the paste. In this way, you can renew an entire wall in a few minutes.

■MMM BU. A, /R. ■ ||L ’ Ji Ji CONTRIBUTES PATTERN— Mrs. Homer (Leia) Schug, Berne double amputee, has contributed to the state mental health association the idea and pattern for a bag which will be given to each new mental patient entered into the hospitals throughout the state. When the state plar.sung committee asked for suggestions that could be suitable as a personal item that would contain articles such as tooth paste, comb, brush, pen, stationery, etc., several ideas were considered. A bag made by Mrs. Schug and sold to Mrs. Sherman Stucky, president of the Adams County Mental Health Assn., was accepted and will be distributed to all mental hospitals in the state. It will be called the “Leia Bag.” Volunteers in this area are needed to make some of these bags for the state school, as 150 have been asked for immediately. Persons wishing to aid this project may contact Mrs. Roger Schuster or Mrs. Thomas Weis in Decatur.

A. Stepelton reported as follows: In a number of respects, 1963 was a banner year for National Tea Co. From a single store with sales of $4.65 on the opening day in 1899, the company has progressed to membership in the Billion Dollar Club. Sales totaled $1,056,919,339, or an eight per cent increase over the prior year. From the standpoint of earnings, 1963 was also a good year. Earnings were $9,205,256 compared with $9,118,011 for the previous year, or a 9.6 per cent increase. Earnings for 1963 include a nonrecurring credit in the amount of $840,710. The management is encouraged with these results because, if anything, competition was more-intensive and challenging than heretofore, according to Stepelton. Easier Dosage If you must take horrible-tast-ing medicine, it won’t taste half so horrible if you’ll hold an ice cube on your tongue for a minute or two before downing the medicine. The ict acts as a de-sensiti-zer to the taste buds. • ... «
