25 YEARS AGO NOV. 25. 1926. The dinner given on Saturday in the Methodist Church for the remaining members of the Civil War veterans of this city and vicinity was a big success. Frederick “Beery played a number of selections on the pipe organ and Miss Natheta Sloan whistled several solos. The seven veterans were E. E. Miles, Henry Tully, G. H. Bailey, O. L. Cleveland. A. M. Jones, George Krieger and Sam Stiffler. Speaker for the evening was David Harrington of Wakarusa, who talked on Civil War days. Miss Virginia Bachman underwent an operation for appendicitis on Friday, at Bloomington, 111., where she is a student at the University this year. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bushong entertained Mr. and Mrs. William Bushong and daughter. Elizabeth, and Mr. Landis Pressler of Garrett and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Bushong and son, Nelson, to a birthday dinner for their son, George Arden Bushong. James Searfoss has returned home from the Elkhart hospital where he underwent an operation recently. Fight fans saw a number of interesting bouts on Thursday night in hte Eagles’ Hall. There were no knockouts but there was some good boxing. The semi-final bout brought together Leo Druckamiller of Syracuse, and Ernie Chiddister of Goshen. This was the best bout of the evening. For three and a half rounds the boys fought every inch of the way. Chiddister had the advantage of height and weight but the Syracuse lad took his punishment with a, smile and landed some telling punches. Chiddister was disqualiled in the fourth round for landing a low punch. “It’s time the government shook the scatter-brained economic theorists out of its hair and accepted big business as a normal, necessary, and, indeed, desirable adjunct of this great industrial nation.” — San Francisco Chronicle.

U.S.Needs Civil Defense A-Bomb Would Kill All Persons Unprotected in One-Half Mile (Tkii i» IJU rtird of a series of articles on civil defense, based on the booklet "This Is Civil Defense" prepared by the Federal Civil Defense Administration. It may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., foe ten cents.) By MILLARD CALDWELL Federal Civil Defense Administrator Don’t be surprised if you hear a siren blowing and learn that your community is being alerted for an imaginary atom bomb raid. If it is organized, within minutes, air raid wardens, first-aid teams, doctors, nurses, emergency rescue squads, and other civil defense

units will spring into action. 1 Hundreds of cities, towns, and small communities in the United States today are making sure that they will be ready to do their part if, and when, the real atom bomb hits them or cities near them. These imaginary raids have shown what well-trained and coordinated civil defense personnel and equipment can do against enemy attack. However, don’t act as if the alert signal you hear is just an imaginary air raid. Act as you have been trained to act. Do whatever you have been told to do. Civil defense prepares you for that splitsecond decision of knowing how to act —what to do. Within one-half mile of the center of an A-bomb explosion almost everyone without proper protection will be killed. Within the next half-mile fifty per cent of the population will not survive. From one to one-and-a-half miles away eighty-five per cent will live. Beyond two miles from the center of the explosion you will survive—but there will be work for you to do. Civil defense prepares you for that too. With the proper protection YOU may live, but thousands will be killed instantly and many others will be wounded and in need of immediate care. Every street within the major damage area will be completely blocked with rubble, and hundreds of persons trapped or buried in the wreckage. Fires will start within a matter of minutes—in many places at once. Food Supply Destroyed These are the main things which will happen, but there are others. For instance, a large part of the city’s food supply might be de-

WAWASEELAKE Cottingham Beach* — Mrs. A. J. Bleeke was a guest of Mrs. Hugh Causer all day Thursday, took in the W. S. C. S. Bazaar in the afternoon, supper at the Causer’s, and theatre In the evening. The A. J. Bleeke’s and son Justin, and family will spend Thanksgiving with a daughter of A. J. Bleeke’s, Mrs. William Stock, and Mr. Stock at their Pleasant Lake farm home. Mr. Bleeke, who formerly had an Inn at Angola, now has the Mirror Inn at Decatur, in partnership with his son, Justin. The two families have their lake home near Bayshore Beach, and a place in Decatur, also. Mirror Inn is so named because its’ inside walls are all mirrors, and the indirect lighting is of colored lights which achieve new beauty as reflected in the mirrored walls. A highlight of the place is a Hammond console organ, very effective (according to the grapevine) with Justin Bleeke at the controls. Ogden Island. — The Robert Whaley’s will be Thanksgiving hosts to hteir daughter. Mrs. John Richard Mills, Mr. Mills, and

Thousands of survivors would sud- ‘ denly find themselves homeless, . without food, clothing, shelter, or money. What could happen without civil ’ defense? Ask the Japanese—anyone of j the few survivors at Hiroshima or , Nagasaki. They had almost no I civil defense as we know it now. When atomic bombs hit their cities, ( the population was almost completely unprepared. Result: the people panicked wildly. Many thousands were needlessly killed or hurt, families were scattered, and property was lost or badly damaged. Thousands were left homeless with no one to care for them. The wounded and helpless, who might have lived, died because proper civil defense was not organized to save them. Factories Would Be Useless But there was something of even greater importance to a nation which was fighting for its life. The > fact that there was no civil defense i meant that the factories left stand- ’ ing after the atomic blast could ; not operate. I Without civil defense a nation is . helpless. With it, people and production centers can get up and i fight back. Casualties can be cut at least in half. Our nation can live again and fight back to win! Civil defense is self defense for you and for our country. (This next article will discuss what are the biggest civil defense problems.)

DEWART LAKE Mr. and Mrs. Abe Andrews were hosts recently at a get-to-I gether of their “deer-hunitng crowd”, after their deer hunting was over. Nary a deer was taken by any of them this year.

Some films were of Mr. Anthony and Harman Egger shooting carp with bow and arrows, on Dewart Lake — some of hunting woodchucks at Marion, Ind., with bow and arrow, and several of wild flowers at various locations, including Dewart Lake. Those prosent were the Dwight Gard family’ of Cromwell; Ralph Burson family of Papakeechie and Fort Wayne; Mrs. H. A. Burson and son, Ed Burson and brother, Armstrong, the Al Burson famliy.

None of those questioned, it added, expressed doubt that Truman would run in 1952. Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press and that cannot be limited without being lost.—Thomas Jefferson.
