This, of course, mostly in reference to Interstate 69 and how it affects our community. Since my wife and I do use these interstate highways at times, we are very appreciative of them. To be able to pull a small travel trailer over them is very .convenient when there is much traffic and the speed limit affecting the pulling of travel trailers is usually the slowest on all highways. There is one question, though, that we have often talked about. ,In your editorial, you mentioned the facts of the fines method of travel it will make to Indianapolis and the by-pass around that city. This is very good, if you happen to be one or two of the hundreds who live in our community that will use this highway. Also the fact that northward we will have a fine route to the lakes that lie in the northern part of the state, and this will be enjoyed by many of our citizens over weekends and vacations. I’m not so sure as to how this will affect our attendance at church services, with all the case of getting away from our city to the lakes. You mention about some of the difficulty of obtaining right of

way for a few portions of this road. This, of course, will be taken care of. How About 27. 33? In light of all of this thought, here is our question: When will the state decide to finish the project of four-landing highway 27 and 33 between here and Fort Wayne? We have traveled both highway 27 and 1-69 north and will say that on 90 per cent of the time, there is at least three times more raffic on 27 than on 1-69. I know that 69 is not completed, but will the completion mean more to our community that the completion of 27 and 33? Also, most of the right of way is purchased and has to be mowed by the highway department, liilnk also of the hundreds who drive to Fort Wayne from both our community and others south of us, not just on weekends, but daily to work. Also the fact that 27 is - one of the highways that carries traffic from central Michigan and northern Indiana south to Richmond and Cincinnati for points south. If I read the report correctly in regards to the highway program for the next three years in Indiana. Adams county will not have any major work done on any of our state highways during this time. By that time, 1-69 will be completed from* Indianapolis to the Michigan state line; Highway 30 will be four-laned from Fort Wayne to Chicago; Highway If will by-pass Huntington; Highway 224 and 30 will by-pass Van Wert; and if plans go through, a complete bypass will be made around Fort Wayne. But citizens of our community will still fight increasing traffic on highways 33 and 27 between here and Fort Wayne. Sincerely for better roads, Earl Chase.

Medicare It has been very interesting to follow for the past two weeks the speeches of Decatur young men and women concerning one of severeal national issues which will definitely effect Adams county people—medicare. The term “medicare” is very much of a mia* home.. Actually, what is pending is a minimum hospitalization bill for, people over 65. It does not purport to pay doctor’s billls. It deab only with hospitals, with poet-hospital nursing services, and with physical therapy. The real argument is how it will be paid for. This is the question which divides public opinion. Under the proposed bill, each worker would, while he is working, set aside enough in the Social Security fund to cover the costs of minimum hospitalization for himself after he retires, just as Social Security sets aside a minimum to fall back on in lieu of wages after retirement. Under this plan, the worker pays part and his employer pay part, and this is placed in a fund, and loaned out, at interest, until needed. Thus, a worker is able to get back far more than he pays in without depleting the fund, just as in regular insurance. The arguments against this are the same as the orginal arguments against Social Security itself — that it is compulsory (as are all taxes), that it will bankrupt the country (which is hasn’t — it has helped tremendously as a bulwark against recession) that it will lead to socialism (the country is further from socialism today than it was 60 years ago), etc. Opponents want hospitalization to be paid for through local property and state taxes, rather than through taxes on those who would get the benefits. They want a person to have to re]port to the welfare office before he can get any help on hospitalization. They want people to take out private health plans, and point that over 50% of the people over 65 already have such plans. Those who favor “medicare” answer that most of these “plans” are inadequate, that major hospitalization requires outside help, or eritire life savings are eaten up, and that many who need help would rather wither away than ask welfare aid. editorial written by..— Dick Heller

Lloyd Baker Retires From Decatur 6. E Lloyd V. (Admiral) Baker has retired from the local General Electric plant, after nearly 41 years of service. His retirement was effective December 1. During his many years of service at the Decatur plant, Baker not only held a number of positions but was responsible for many of the various plant layouts made during that time. A native of this city, he joined the Decatur plant December 18, 1921, and was first employed as an inspector. Early in IMS he was appointed supervisor of planning, and since that time has been associated with the planning section. His co-workers at the G. E. plant presented him with a retirement gift and the salaried exempt club honored him at a dinner and party held recently. Baker has no definite retirement plans, but does plan to continue his residence in Strickler’s Trailer Court.
