Secretary of Agriculture Orville L < Freeman will be in Indiana on Fri- ■ day. July 22, to participate in the | third of a series of national "Report ] and Review" meetings with farmers. , according to Richard Moser, chairman of the Indiana Agricultural Sta- < bilization and Conservation Com- < mi t tee. i The meeting, which is scheduled to ' commence at 2 p.m.. will be held at the Seymour senior high school auditorium, Seymour. “The current series of “Repeal and Review" meetings are a part of Secretary Freeman’s continuing effort to obtain the views of farmers — and to provide farmers with the opportunity to question the secretary directly about Department of Agriculture activities”, Mr Moser explained. At the Seymour meeting, which will be open to the public, those present will have an opportunity to present written questions directly to Mr. Freeman for reply. “We feel that this type of ques-tion-and-answer session will provide Indiana fanners an excellent opportunity to make their views known to the Secretary, and to obtain firsthand answers to their questions about both world and national farm problems, programs, and policies,” Mr. Moser said. "This is particularly important at a time when the American farmer is the need to adjust from a surplus situation to one where national food and feed supplies are more nearly in balance." Prior to the meeting in Seymour, the Secretary will attend an open luncheon meeting with local farmers. and agricultural leaders and business leaders in Columbus, Ind. A press conference open to representatives of all news media is also to be held at 1:30 p.m. at the senior high school in Seymour. In addition to the Indiana meeting, the Secretary will also meet with farmers in Delavan. Wis., on the evening of July 22, and with North Dakota and Nebraska farmers in separate meetings in these states on July 23. Two similar “Report and Review" meetings have been held previously in Spencer and Maquoketa, la. Mrs. Betty Kowallik.

De Good Tractor Sales Gets Town Contract For Tractor
De Good Tractor Sales of Warsaw was awarded the contract for a tractor by the Pierceton town board in a special meeting Monday night. Norman Good of that firm was present as its representative. The jxice of the tractor, a Ford, Model 44022 C was $5.576 92, considerably under any other bid received. Other bids were a Case. Asa Hines. North Manchester, $6,300.50; International. Gragg Equipment of Warsaw, $5,960; Allis Chalmers, MacDonrld Machinery Co., Inc. of Fort Wayne (Robert L. Carey representing the firm), $6,947; and Kerlin Motor company of Silver Lake, $6,865. There were only the two firms, De Good and MacDonald, who were represented at the meeting. Lee Nichols conducted the meeting in the absence of president Don ! Gebert. He and Lorin Danner, board member, made the decision. Little other business was conducted at the meeting except that the board decided to put the sum lof SI,OOO in the budget this year i for the purpose of improving Brower Memorial park. The park comI mittee was present, consisting of John Norris, president; Scott 'Sleighter. vice president; and Mrs. ■Jerry Kreger, secretary’ and treasurer. Norris, spokesman, said the first things the committee was interested in was public restrooms, black toping the north side for youngsters to play on and restoring the old jail. The town board suggested I waiting until fall to discuss restrooms, but agreed to the blacktopping. They did not look favorably on restoring the old jail as it does nothing towards enhancing the park, I historic value or no. Lee Nichols announced they were : still taking applications for a deputy marshal to replace Ray Archer, who resigned verbally a week ago. Archer promised to continue in that I position until a replacement could be found. Delivery of the tractor will probably be in one month as the Ford Motor company shuts down next week for a three week vacation. ! The only other persons present ■ in addition to the two representativ - ;es and the park committee were i Ralph Brower, Mrs. Donnie Smith and Bod Cale, who are interested in improving the park and giving youngsters a’ place to play in the heart of the town, and news representatives.

Politics aside...one of the biggest differences between her life and yours is low cost electric power
Ling Su would love to wash and dry her clothes automatically, keep her food fresh in a refrigerator and relax at night with TV. Instead of building a fire at dawn to heat and cook, she’d like to flick a thermostat and heat her morning rice and tea automatically. You have many daily tasks in common with the 700 million Ling Su’s of the world . . . except that you live in America, where investor ownership provides the most plentiful and economical
supply of electric power in the world. NOTHING YOU CAN BUY GIVES YOU MORE VALUE PER DOLLAR THAN YOUR UTILITY SERVICE.
