Proposes Locating Stock Yards Here
Wm. Ared Shaw Called By Death
The matter of a location for livestock yards on the edge of Greencastle came up before tne council meeting Monday evening Louis Biggs and Charles Renard who operate yards at Lafayette and Paris, 111., were present witn a proposal to locate a livestock yards here, probably on west Walnut street for the purpose of handling livestock. especially cattle and hogs for Eastern Order buyers.
William Ared Shaw, of Greencastle R. 1, passed away Tuesday morning at the Putnam County hospital, where he had been a patient for over a w r eek. He ha-d been in ill health for some time. Mr. Shaw' was born May 4. 1888 in Parke County, the son of William and Mary Noble Shaw. He had been employed at the Lone Star Cement Cor. for over thirty years. Survivors are the wife, Mrs. Jessie Brown Shaw, six children, Mrs. Ruth Elder, Terre Haute; Mrs. Ruby White, Mars Hill; Mrs. Flossie Nelson, Mrs. Lorine Gray, Rockford, 111.; Ralph. Greencastle; Ernest Rhea, of Amo; one brother and other relatives. Funeral arrangements will be announced later by the Rector Funeral Home.
It was said the local yards if established, would draw livestock from ten surrounding counties, j and this would save the farmers ! a considerable haul bill as well j as yardage, shrinkage, etc.
The Board of Directors of the Greencastle Building Corporation and the Board of School Trustees met in the high school library Monday evening at 7:30 p. m. for the fourth meeting since the organization of the School Building Corporation. The past three meetings have been concerned with interviewing representatives from architectural firms and firms who are interested in building a complete school building on the basis of the “package” buildmg plan. Representative members from the Board of Directors and the Board of School Trustees plan to visit one or two schools in the Chicago area in the near future as a means o? determining the building pattern that Greencastle will follow in the proposed new high school. The planning steps of anj large building project of necessity take time. However, the Greencastle School Building Corporation has completed the necessary interviews, and will soon have a decision as to the type of building program for Greencastle.
The council told the men they would go along with the idea of locating such a yard in Greencastle They said they picked this community because of the excellent rail facilities which Greencastle has for access to eastern markets, as well as to Chicago.

He stated that no financial help could be given on a neW truck but the Civil Defense would pay fifty per cent on any disaster equipment that the city would need, such as training equipment, helmets, axes, coats and a rescue truck if Greencastle could properly qualify. The new fire truck and an addition to the present fire department was discussed. How it will be financed will be brought up at the next meeting. An annexation ordinance will be read at the next meeting to annex the area that was omitted on the Stilesville Road W’hich is between the present limits and the Zinc Mill Road. It was brought out that a new sewer and water system would be extended to this area. To clarify the action of the council on the time issue Counc’iman Norton gave a report on how the voters of Greencastle cast their ballots. For FST 1390 against EST 461, for CST 1659, against CST 408. This count gave a very small majority for CST but since industry in this area is geared to EST and affects a majority of the w'age earners it was decided to leave the time as it is.
Mr. Spengler, personnel director of IBM Plant Five, has been named as chairman of the 1957 March of Dimes oy Eugene Hutchins, Putnam County Chairman of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The kickoff for the fund campaign has been set for January 2nd.

16,000 MILES IN 32 HOURS IS NEW JET RECORD
The annual meeting of tne Putnam County Fa-ni Bureau will be held on December 6 in the DePauw Union Building, it is announced. Plans are to make tnls the biggest and best meeting in the history of the Putnam County Farm Bureau. Jack Beck, general manager of the association, thinks that the attendance figures on record will be dwarfed, due to the differetime of the year in which meeting will be held. Present plans include. 1 tion to the general busir fie co-op, the eminent Hugh . .well Walters as speaker. Mr. Walters is widely known for his humorous talks on human relations. Since he is director of personnel and public relations at the McSuay-Norris Manufacturing Company of Connersville. and also at director and vice president if the United Vacuum Appliance Corporation of Connersville, he has not only a good background of experience concerning human interests but also is endowed with extraordinary business acumen. His talk should be one of the highlights of the program. The program will commence a! 7 p. in., prevailing time and will move rapidly through the business session and entertainment to a conclusion at about 9. After the meeting, light refreshments wall be served. The most important phase of the meeting, of course, will be the election of directors.

LEGISLATION IS OUTLINED BY HANDLEY
INDIANA’S GOV.-ELECT MIDRESSES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
INDIANAPOLIS (UP) Gov.elect Harold W. Handley unveiled his 1957 Legislative program today, promising to close gross income tax loopholes and giving left-handed endorsement to a 2cent gasoline tax increase. Handley, in his first major speech since his election Nov. b toM the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, however, that ht w’ould not approve a gas tax hike “unless the new' revenue is to be used only for state highways and bridges, county roads and bridges, city streets, and the matching of federal highway funds.” Handley, therefere, took a stand against raising gasoline taxes to four cents a gallon an i using the additional revenue for non-highway purposes. He said he will ask the Legislature to “consider correcting . . . inequities ... in our present gross income tax law,” and wih “present a constn.-.:’.v [ Ian for more effective collection of twisting taxes,” a plan which he indicated would yield as much as 5 or 6 million dollars a iditional.y in the gross income tax. Handley also said he would fight for “a straight percentage increase" if the Legislature should decide to rc-impose a gross income surtax. When ,i surtax was imposed to raise a soldier bonus fund a few year.; back, it was “unequal," Handley said. Some taxpayers had to p iy 25 per cent m ire, otiiers 50 pci cent more. Handley said his speech contained “few points 1 had not ~tr *ssed again and agaia •bout the pre-election campa!' Handley also said: 1. He will recommend the state 15-cent property tax he repealed “because it amounts to double..’’ 2. He is opposed to local income taxes levied by individual communities. 3. He is opposed to a stn’e sales tax because even a 3 per cent tax would not yield as nmeh as the gross income tax unless food was included and "we would not want to approve the taxatu n of broad and other ba de food commodities." 4. He favors taking full advantage of th-' federal highway program to “expand < ur fn-t highways system ?o that evet .- part of Indiana is served by allweather hard-surfaced 10 els.” 5. He is placing “gr< it emphasis on continued expansion of Indiana’s public schools and universities,” but without fed i.il aid. 6. He opposes state supplemental unemployment benefit-; "for certain groups, thus givit " them an unfair advantage over all citizens.” 7. He will be “most sympathetic to reasonable programs” aim**d at a Lake -Michigan seaport. On taxes, Handley in heat i he frowns on any new taxes unless they are earmark* !. “I feel that if there ai»* any new taxes they should be d i, eed to specific purpose?,” he i. Handley did not say h< .‘.ill m commend raising the gas tax. But he explained 'he r e.| for millions of dollars to improve roads and bri*’. of these facts rr ak ■ ■ ir.
