THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Intend at toe Decatur, lad.. Post Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller. Jr. President Mrs John Shirk Vice President Mrs. A. R. Holthouse Secretary Chas. E. Holthouse Treasurer School Building Fund The North Adams community school board will soon have before it a very important decision: will the school system undertake a cumulative building fund, to provide needed funds for the mushrooming school population, or will it attempt to bond the taxpayers, and borrow the money? • It it decides to undertake an orderly taxing system, rather than to borrow, how large should the rate be? For how long should the fund be set up? Naturally we do not wish to spend excessively or unwisely. Past experience has indicated to those who have used a cumulative building fund that this is a very valuable program. It means a minimum of borrowing, at interest', and the money borrowed must be paid back. We have the schools sooner, closer to when actually needed, by preparing ahead, through a cumulative building fund. Decatur’s past experience has been that a 75c building fund is quite adequate. While $1.25 is used by several communities, the average is closer to 75c. Os 29 school districts which include fifth class cities, such as Decatur, only eight (including North Adams) did not have cumulative building, funds, and these probably, like North Adams, have either just consolidated, or just ended a fund period. Six have rates higher than 75c, four presently have a 75c rate, 15 are lower; the average is 63c, same as for towns. The proposed 75c rate is based on a projection of North Adams needs, based on the reports made by the school census committee. The report is averaging out pretty accurately so far. According to this report, the local population is growing at such a rate that it will take a 75c rate to keep the schools up with the growing school population. Rooms are badly needed at the Monmouth school, and junior high space is also very crowded at Lincoln school in Decatur. By the time these problems are met, more high school space will be needed, since the North Central Association is gradually increasing its minimum standards for college admission. If we want to see all our children properly educated for space-age jobs and space-age living, we must keep up our schools, and we must be prepared to improve them A cumulative building fund is the only sensible answer. Schools are limited in their bonding power to 2% of their assessed valuation. This won’t build anything. Interest would only add to the tax burden. Both Monmouth and Lincoln will either have to be improved or closed. Any delay in improving both may destroy both. Let’s stop quibbling, and get busy. Our problems will continue to grow, so we’d better start facing them now, and head off * a general disaster in the future. Editorial written by Dick Heller

A S C S Farm Notes

ATTENTION: MR. WHEAT PRODUCER: Have you visited the ASCS office to find out how the wheat program can help you in increasing your wheat income? If not, come in as soon as you read this column — the time is running short — only 5 more days to sign-up to participate in the 1964 wheat program. May 15 is the Final Date: For the convenience of producers who can not call at the office during regular office hours, the office will be open Tuesday evening until 9 o’clock. Regular office hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The office is not closed during the noon hour. A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM: Again, we remind producers, the wheat program is entirely voluntary. The first step necessary to participate in the program is to sign an application in the county office. If an application is not filed, the producer will not receive certifiate payments. The producer can participate in the program and harvest his wheat allotment acreage. He must divert 11.11 per cent of his allotment to a conserving crop. This is used only to determine the number of acres required for diversion —he still harvests his allotment acreage. CERTIFICATES SERVE AS AN INSURANCE MEASURE: If a farmers signs to participate in the program, meets all the program provisions and the wheat acreage planted for harvest is destroyed by natural causes, certificate payments will be made — thus certificates serve as insurance measures. 1964 WHEAT PRICE SUPPORT AVAILABLE: Price support of $1.32 per bushel is available to producers on any farm on which the 1964 wheat acreage is within the farm allotment, whether or not the farm is signed in the wheat program. 808 GREEN, MEMBER OF STATE COMMITTEE EXPLAINS THE WHEAT PROGRAM: Bob Green, member of the Indiana ASCS state committee, explained the 1964 wheat program to a group of Adams county farmers at a meeting held in the Geneva high school this week. About one half of the farmers who attend the meeting have signed an “intention to participate in the program” to date. Green stated that there was-a great need for wheat legislation—since the wheat futures are about $1.30 as compared to recent wheat’ prices of $2 per bushel. AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM (ACPI: The county committee has approved 94 applications for cost share assistance under the 1964 ACP program. 67 approvals were for the installation of tile drainage and 27 were approved for the application of limestone. Funds are still available for cost-share aesitance. Farmers who have conservation problems are urged to call at the county office at an early date and file an application for assistance. All applications are carefully considered by the county committee and approved in accordance ■with ' regulations. Some requests cannot be approved for various reasons. Many farmers have never received cost share assistance under this program, and they are especially urged to file requests, U. S. FOOD DONATION PROGRAM OVERSEAS: In the 14 years that have passed since the U. S. food donation program began, almost 19 billion pounds of food commodities have been sent to needy and unfortunate . people in most of the countries of the free world. Only for a short period during the Korean War was the program halted. This people-to-people program is based on the concept that foods come as a gift of the American people through the U. S. department of agriculture and U. S. private welfare and church-affiliated ■agencies and inter-governmental organizations. It is considered a vitual part of’the food for peace program. Altogether, 230 programs in 114 foreign countries have been approved to distribute approximately 3.4 billion pounds of food com- " modifies during fiscal year 1964. These commodities currently include notfat dry milk, butter, butter oil, ghee, vegetable oil in the form of salad oil and shortening, wheat, wheat flour, corn, cornmeal. bulgar and rolled wheat. Approximately 3 billion pounds

have been donated to tte agencies for distribution to 72.7 million eligible recipients. Somewhat over half of these recipients are children who receive U. S. food donations in approved non-profit school lunch programs. Recent legislation requires the secretary of agriculture to assure himself that in any school feeding program undertaken outside toe United States, there will be student participation in the financing of such programs on the basis of ability to pay. At the present time 730 United States citizens are employed by the distributing agencies in overseas posts assisted by approximately 7,000 indigenous personnel. t VEGETABLE OILS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR EXPORT UNDER BARTER: Privately owned soybean and cottenseed oils for the first time are now eligible for export through barter transactions involving procurements from abroad for U. S. government agencies. The agencies will pay the Commodity Credit Corporation on a current basis in dollars. This is the first privately owned agricultural commodity to be so eligible since 1953-54 when a small quantity of U. S. tobacco was similarity exported. The move will not only help stem the outflow of dollars, but will be of major benefit to the soybean trade which, as a result of big U. S. sales of soybean meal, holds heavy supplies of soybean oil. It will have less effect on the cottonseed industry where under the cottonseed price support program, any surplus of cottonseed oil acquired by CCC could and can still be moved abroad under barter and other government export programs. Under the new program, provately owned vegetable oils can be exported under barter to Over 100 countries for which commodity country designations have been established. PRICES OF INPUTS NEEDED FOR FARMING HELP DETERMINE HOW MUCH IS BOUGHT: Farmers keep breaking production records but they manage to operate their businesses with no increase in total inputs. Farmers do make changes in the kinds of things used for production, however. Although the use of fixed inputs such as land are relatively constant regardless-of price, prices for other goods and services have a lot to do with their purchase. For example, farm wage rates increased faster than any other input between 1950 and 1960. As a result, farm operators turned to more machinery, fertilizer and other purchased production items. While total hours in agriculture declined 28 per cent in 10 years, inputs of mechanical power and machinery increased 24 per cent use of fertilizer and lime went up a whopping 74 per cent, purchased seed and livestock rose 48 per cent and miscellaneous 30 per cent. ARRANGE FARM TRANSFER PLANS TODAY AND AVOID LEGAL PROBLEMS TOMORROW: Farm parents can do themselves and their children a favor by starting early to plan for the transfer of their estates. To avoid serious problems about what happens to the farm when the owner dies, it’s a good idea to get the whole family tgether and carefully map out a long-term transfer plan. Some objectives of a good farm transfer plan are: 1. To provide enough income for the parents. 2. To treat the children fairly. 3. To keep the farm within the family. 4. To tell the heirs what to expect so they can plan their own lives and 5. To reduce death taxes and estate settlement costs. The farmer owner may want tc make a will, take out life insurance, incorporate Or perhaps set up a trust. In some cases, it might not be advisable to keep the farm in the family. Each situation is unique and deserves individual attention. Generally, legal advice is needed to work out the details. THE SAFETY CORNER — SPECIAL TO RURAL DRIVING: Driving on a country road is like exploring the unkown. Unexpected obstacles keep popping up at you and you never know what you’ll find around the next turn. It could be a two-foot chuckhole, a slow-moving tractor or a flock of chickens. Even if the driver habitually uses country roads, he may be-

come over confident and forget to watch for the unexpected. There is only one way to drive on a country road — as if blazing a new trail. Programs slowly. Look out for hazards, such as: 1. Rough, sometimes rugged roads — If you hit a gravel road, slow down. Take it easy on dirt roads, also black top roads can be treacherous. 2. Unmarked curves — You never- know how sharp the curve is or what may be coming around the other side. 3. Hills — When a bill is approached, slow down, keep to the right and honk the horn. 4. Farm houses — The houses themselves won’t ctfuse trouble — but where there is a house there is a driveway, although it may be hidden. 5. Bridges — Most rural bridges are one lane and not in the best condition. 6. Intersections — Few country roads have stop signs and even these may be covered by overgrown weeds. 7. County lines — Road surfaces may change abruptly as you pass between counties and townships. 8. Farm vehicles — Tractors, horses, wagons, moving at a snail's pace may appear far away, but you are often upon them before you realize it. 9. School buses — When a school bus stops, you stop, regardless of whether you are meeting or overtaking the bus. 10. Pedestrians and bicycliste— Keep a sharp lookout for these hazards. 11. Animals — Farm animals sometimes wander freely, crossing road as they please, and car chasing dogs can be in front of your car before you realize it. 12. Railroad crossings — Take extra precautions before crossing, expecially at unlighted crossings. Give yourself room to stop. Expect anything — remember you are on your own. Churches Planning For Vacation School The Decatur Evangelical United Brethren church is planning a vacation church school in cooperation with the First Christian church. The two weeks school will be held each morning. Monday through Friday, beginning May 25. The theme for the school is, “Jesus.” The studies will provide opportunities for boys and girls to know Jesus as God’s Son, to accept Him as Savior and Lord, and to share the news of the gospel ■according to their level of ability. Ten elapses will be offered .for •rboys and girls who are pre-school age through grade six. Children who will be four years of age by ‘September 30, 1964 may be enrolled. The classes will be closely graded with only one age in each class. A staff of mote than 30 teachers has been secured to work in the school. The director is Mrs. Thurman Haggerty. The vacation church school committee consists of Mrs. Carl Sheets, Mi's. John Kelley, Mrs. Gerald Light and Rev. J. O Penrod. Registration for the school is in process at the present time. Boys and girls who are not attending another church school are welcome to register. There is no cost for registration. Persons desiring to register their children are asked to call the church office, 3-3008. > Chicago Produce CHICAGO (UPD—Produce: Live poultry special fed White Rock fryers 18-19; roasters 2325.
