An Interesting Election This will be one of the most interesting Indiana primaries in a long time. It will be very interesting to see how Adams county will vote. Unfortunately, President Johnson decided not to run in person in any primaries. He left the state governors, or if the governors weren’t Democrats, a senator, to run, or else didn’t enter. Here in Indiana, where write-in votes are illegal, voters have to vote for the men on the ballot. Thus, to vote for President Johnson, you had to vote for his stand-in, Gov. Welsh. But then the question of a pending bill, the civil rights bill, was injected into the election. Many have the idea that they can “slow down” civil rights by voting for Wallace, or against Welsh. Since all Indiana house members, seven Republicans and four Democrats, have already voted for the bill, and the two Democratic senators, Bayh and Hartke, are so deeply committed to it that they must vote for it, even if Wallace sweeps the Indiana election, which is possible, it will not affect the passage of of the bill. „ In the first place, every American — Negro, German - American, Swiss - American — already has the rights listed in the bill. All the bill does is to give any person a new means of speeding up a decision on whether his real rights have been violated. One fear of parents in industrial areas has been that their children would be transported great distances in an attempt to balance racially the schools. The supreme court rejected the theory of imbalance and de facto segregation in Gary on Monday. This means that if an honest attempt is made, to district schools fairly and properly, it is perfectly legal. We need have no fear here if the. bill is passed. But we have every’ right to fear the continued agitation, the continued exodus of Negroes from Southern states into Indiana, if the rights bill is not passed. These ~~ people want rights at home, not rights in Deeatur, where they already have them. The rumor or story persists here that Decatur has a city ordinance forbidding Negroes to remain here overnight. It has no such ordinance, and has had none since the 14th amendment in 1868. During* the Ku Klux Klan days .of the 1920’5, when the Klan ran politics in Indiana, this was known as a “sundown” town, and Negroes were warned that if the sun set while they were still in Decatur, a lawless mob would run them out. There is no record of this ever happening, but the — - threat was undoubtedly made. This is a blot on our history. After all, an American is an American, regardless of race, religion, color, or national origin, and we should respect them as fellow Americans. We don’t have to invite them to our homes or clubs, but we do have to treat them fairly. That’s the American way, and thank God no vote, short of a Constitutional amendment, will ever change it.

Little Effect Here In Postal Changes

The vast majority of the residents of Decatur and Berne will 'not be affected by the recently announced adjustments in parcel post and post office window services, postmaster John Boch said today. Boch explained his statement was prompted by some misunderstanding about the scope of these changes. The main changes will be in second and third class post offices. such as Monroe and Linn Grove. Fourth class post offices will experience little change. Decatur and Berne Recapping the local postal situation. the Decatur postmaster pointed to these facts: from 7:30 a. m. until 9 a. m. each day. a service window is open for post office box patrons and from 9 until 12 noon on Saturdays the service window will issue stamps, accept parcels for mailing, insure. certify and register mail. Money orders will be issued at the contract station at Holthouse on the HiWay on weekdays as well as Saturday mornings. Rural carriers will continue to accept money orders on Saturdays and deliver parcel post six cays a week. Boch w-ishes to remind patrons that pared post delivery has -been curtailed on Tuesdays since it is the lightest delivery day and therefore fewer people will be inconvenienced. Monroe and Linn Grove Austin Merriman, Monroe postmaster. explained that the new hours for that post office will be from 8 a. m. until 5:15 p. m. weekdays, and 8 a. m. until noon on Saturdays. The office is closed from 11:30 until 12 noon on weekdays. Robert Spichiger. Linn Grove postmaster, announced post office window service as 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. weekdays, and 8 a. m. to noon on Saturday. The post office department hopes to save $12.7 million this year by the changes made. National Scope At the same time. Boch said he has received information on the national scope of the service adjustments which indicate very little overall effect is anticipated from the order, starting May 4. John Sheets Reports On Tour Os Rome John S. Sheets, of Decatur, recently toured Rome, Italy, as he is stationed in that country on the U. S. S. Enterprise, with the United States Navy.

THE DSCATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

“Many of our local people who send mail to other points—many who visit other cities and transact postal business in those areas—and many others who will be in other communities at vacation time will be interested,” he explained. He released the following national findings on the overall effect of the adjustmenas: Pareel Post 1. Parcel post deliveries are not affected at all on 24.934 city routes where the carriers are “mounted” (on vehicles*, on 32,299 rural delivery routes and on 7,802 contract (“star”) routes delivering mail. On 78.576 city delivery foot routes, parcels up to two pounds (and not bigger than a shoe box) will be delivered. About one-fourth of all parcel post packages are two pounds or less. 2. Service is affected only on parcel post routes < about 16.000 full and part-time routes) which will be in service five instead of six days a week. Postmaster will adjust service to local parcel volumes and only an estimated 6 to 8 per cent of total parcel post will be affected in any way. 3. More postal personnel are being assigned weekend duty at many post offices, and parcels will be speeded throughout the postal system for local deliveries at all points, including Decatur. This and other actions to eliminate delays will largely or entirely- offset any delays that would otherwise result from the adjustment, and it is expected overall service will be improved. 4. About 28,000 smaller and medium-size post offices do not have any parcel post routes now and their service is not involved at all, of course. ~ Window Service 1. The only principal service affected by the consolidation of window services into one window on Saturday mornings at some post offices’ (about 12.000 large offices) is domestic money order, service. 2. Money- order sales on Saturday will—with very few exceptions — continue in about 7.000 “contract” postal stations (typically located in suburban shopping center drug stores), providing domestic money order service in virtually every- city where orders are not sold at the post office on Saturdays. 3: "‘Consolidated! windows will continue to provide all essential services—stamp sales, parcel post transactions, registry, C. O. D. services, jetc. 4. Post office lobbies normally open on Saturday will not be “closed down.” Lobbies will te open for lock box services, stamp dispenser service, mail deposit, etc. 5. Postmaster at most smaller offices will sell, and rural carriers will continue to take applications for money orders on Saturdays. Postmasters can sell the orders if they- can do so without any effect on manpower usage (affecting about 20.000 smaller post offices). Rural carriers serving out of such offices will dispatch money orders received on Saturdays on the same day; otherwise if they serve out of larger city offices, their rural money order applications will be handled early Monday. * 6 Window services in at least 20.000 post . offices which have never had more than one window open on Saturdays are, of course, unchanged.

FEATHERED SERPENTS, WATERMELON, AND CANVAS WORTH SIOO PER INCH! Mexicans have surrounded themselves with vital modern art. The works of the'Mexican masters and _ the flourishing newer schools fill their galleries, decorate the walls of their fine buildings, and bring high prices in the world market. Little wonder, for this art inherits the best of two traditions. From Western Europe, out of the Renaissance by way of the Spain that gave us Velasquez and Goya, it has a great heritage . . . one that survives in its original form in Mexico s churches. And from the ancient frescoes and sculpture of the Maya, Toltec and Aztec comes a massive simplicity, and traditional themes like the god-king Quetzelcoatl, the “feathered serpent” “~ Rufino Tamayo, for instance—one of the great Mexican moderns—has based paintings now in many of the world’s great museums, on simple variations of / the watermelon theme.

Clint Reed Invited To Panel Discussion Dr. Tolbert, head of music education at Ohio State University and president of the National music educators association, has invited Clint Reed, teacher in Decatur public schools, to a panel discussion at the music educators national convention in Indianapolis. Dr. Tolbert recently edited a small wind instruction book written by Reed. This method has been used in the Decatur public schools "for the'past four years. This approach was observed by Dr. Mark Walker from the music research department of Ohio State University while he was conducting the Berne, Decatur, Bluffton band festival three years ago. Reed was invited Ito the Ohio State campus to discuss his technique with the research department. This method is different from any yet .published in that the fundamentals of music are taught in conjunction with, music appreciation. The students are exposed to all types of adult music literature which they will come in contact with later in life. The selections are especially arranged so that the students of different interests and playing ability can play together. Reed formerly taught at Jordan College of Music. Butler University. He came to Fort Wayne as principal bass player in the Fort Wayne Symphony Orchestra and is now working with the Jimmy Stier orchestra. t Reed said that after observing the reluct an be of many college and high school students to accept new musical sounds he is convinced that a good basic listening foundation must be laid in early childhood while) children still have an open mind.
