Recreation in Adams County Walter L. Stone, Ph. D., director of a study on recreation in the 92 counties of Indiana, has recently published his critical evaluation of Adams county. The study,'by the blue print committee for the governor’s committee on recreation, was conducted in cpoperation with the state department of mental health and the state board of health. u "sit If Adams county increases in population at the same rate between 1960 and 1970 as it did between 1950 and 1960, there will be 27,000 people living here by the 1970 census.- And it is more likely that the population growth will exceed this rate than fall short of it. > Standards recommended by the National Recreation Association were used as a basic minimum to meet the needs of each local community. The recommended standards are: 1. One acre of park land to each 100 of the total population. , 2. One softball diamond for each 3,000 of the total population. 3. One baseball diamond for each 6,000 of the total population. 4. One tennis court for each 2,000. 5. One golf hole for each 3,000. 6. One recreation building for each 20,000. 7. One auditorium for each 15,000. 8. One gymnasium for each 10,000. 9. One social room for each 10,000. 10. One reading or library room for each 10,000. 11. One game room for each 10,000. 12. One arts and craft room for each 10,000. 13. One club or multiple-use room for each 5,000. -14. One indoor swimming pool for each ~ __ 50,000 of the total population. 15. Outdoor swimming pools and bathing beaches to serve 3% of the total population at one time, with 11 square feet of water area per individual. using -only the wading area in the case of beaches. How well are our local needs being met by private and public means? Well, there are the standards — judge for yourself. Only nine of the cities 10,000 population, about 70 of them, have year-round recreation programs, and Decatur is one of tjiose cities. Berne is not, according to the survey. Tomorrow’ we will give the findings of the state committee in Adams county. Editorial written by Dick Heller

SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT

Small Business Gains Will Follow Tax Cut By Eugene P. Foley Administrator, Small Business Administration

The most urgent task confronting this session of the Congress is to revise our income tax system to reduce taxes. By no single action can this Congress contribute more to exnand consumer

demand, reduce unemployment, improve investment opportunities, increase productivity, and prolong the higher rate of growth and vigor essential to the achievement of our national goals. Many of the provisions of the Johnson administration tax bill will give particular encouragement to small business. By far the greatest benefits that small business would derive from the adoption of this tax bill would flow indirectly from participating in the general expansion in the economy that would

be induced by lowered taxes. Most small businesses would immediately feel the thrust of the quickening of economic activity that would flow from the substantial, broad scale tax reductions that would becofiie effective early in 1964. The stimulating effect of the economy of the personal income reductions would be immediate. These tax reductions would average about 20 per cent of the current tax liabilities of most taxpayers, two-thirds of which would become effective in 1964.— Historical spending practices of the people indicate that from 92 to 94 per cent of these tax savings w’ould be reflected in increased consumer purchases. The remaining 6 to 8 per cent would probably flow into increased private savings and l investments. Small businesses would be among’ rhe -first to . feel the: thrust of the increased consumer demand. Throughout the South, the Central, and the Western portions of the country, the increased purchasing power of the farmers and their households j would be reflected in increased sales by general merchandise stores, hardware stores, home equipment suppliers, farm machinery and equipment dealers, and other small business. Similarly, small scale trade and service industries in the industrial and commercial centers of*, the mid-Atlantic, North Central, and other Statey'jwould

a fierce battle along the Cambodian border today. The Reds were reported to have lost 35 man. /Informed military sources Said the battle occurred near the village of Thuong Phuoc, about a mile from the Cambodian border and 100 miles southwest of Saigon. An American spokesman said the fight took place between three battalions of government troops and a battalion of the Communist Viet Cong. The Army officer was the 189th American to die in Viet Nam since Jan. 1,. 1961. The Communists were belived to have retreated across the Cambodian border, taking whatever dead and wounded they suffered with them. As a result. American military advisers estimated about 35 Reds slain, mostly from heavy fire by government artillery and personnel carriers.

immediately feel the impact of the increased after-tax take home pay of salary and wage earners. The second most important benefit that small businesses would derive from the adoption of this tax cut bill would’be the direct relief that they would be accorded. The owners of a high j percentage of the, four million sole proprietorships and partner- : ships, excluding the agricul- : tural, forestry and fishery, and personal enterprises, would ex- ’ perience personal income tax icJ ductions of more than $5 00 mil- • lion in 1964 and an additional $250 million or more in 1965. More than one-half million , small corporations with annual . net profits of less than SIOO,- . 000 would have their income taxes reduced by more than . $4 5 0 million in 1964. These fiomprise. more than 9 5 per cent of the Nation’s tax-paying corporations. Collectively, the 4.5 . million enterprises comprising the small business community,, constitute more than 95 per , cent of all American business firms and account for about 40 / per cept of the total business volume. Quite obviously, they, and the 30,000,000 people for whom they provide gainful employ- ’ rtient, have a stake in the adop- ' tion of this tax bill. All of us who are particularly interested in the welfare of small'businesses i will greatly benefit through this i tax cut.

Harlke Seeks State location Os Center WASHINGTON — (Special) — Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) has moved to make Indiana the location for a proposed $30,000,000 government environmental health center employing 1,600 people. Funds for the facility, to be operated by the public health service, are now being considered in a house committee. The senate approved the proposal last year. In a letter to Anthony J. Celebrezze, secretary of health education and welfare, the Senator said: “There are, a number of communities in Indiana where sufficient free land would be available to make an attractive site, and there are many other reasons why an Indiana location should be considered. “Inasmuch as this is a study of how people live, I would think that a location close, to the center of popu'ation. would be desirable. Placing the center near the large midwestern state universities, which are known for their emphasis on the humanities, would also be desirable. “I hope that you can give this your utmost consideration and that you may find it possible to discuss this further with me, and with officials of our State government and interested communities.” The proposed research center would be set up to study conditions in the environment which affect health. Employment would be scaled upwards from the original 1.600 figure to some 4,500 in future years.

In the four years we have lived here there have been many ads, such as Saturday, Feb. 29 full page, and many editorials urging us to spend our money in Decatur* - — —-■ —■———- It is, therefore, hard to understand why the plaque to honor John F. Kennedy is being purchased from a Fort Wayne company, when a company in Decatur had bid a mere $7.30 more. Had- there not been enough donations to cover this extra $7.30, I might see some reaison, but under the circumstances this seems like a slap in the face to one of our own industries. The money was donated by Decatur — it should be spent in Decatur. Sincerely, Mrs. C. S.

Declares American Men Not Dominated By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPD—Another voice is heard in the great de bate—whether American males are dominated by American females. “I think they are not,” said a Viennese woman who’s pioneered a career in her homeland in the man’s world of filmmaking. “They’re emancipated,’ she said- “The men have their own shoe stores!’ The tongue-in-cheek observation comes from Martha Foitl, a tiny, blue-eyed blonde who has spent the last five months on a private U.S. tour to show college groups, women’s clubs and film societies documentaries on Austria. Gives Her Impressions It is Mrs. Foitl’s first visit to the United States and as she prepared to fly home to Vienna she spoke of some of her impressions and some of her mistakes in a foreign land. “Aren’t there any American souvenirs?” she said. ‘Everything you pick up seems stamped ‘made in Japan’ o r ‘made in Hong kong’. “I did not know what was .a hamburger at first,”- she said of this beefy bit of Americana. “Now I have counted up.
