"Never, in the history of- our company, have we ever regretted that one of our major manufacturing centers and our central research facilities are located in this city. Nor do we ever expect to regret it." WHEELER CONTINUED, "I do not know of a place in this country which has been a better community partner to Commercial Solvents than Terre Haute. C. S. C.

salutes Terre Haute for the men and women of this city who have been faithful and productive members of our team and for the way it has opened its hearts and its homes to folks from other places who have come here as members of our team. S. C. salutes Terre Haute for the countless opportunities that you have given us to be a good neighbors. The men and women of the company have participated actively in community and civic affairs, doing whatever they can to make this a better place to live." "It takes good people to make a good town," 'the speaker said, "but a good town also makes good people.

Its schools, its places of worship, its civic and cultural leave their mark on those who live and grow up in the town. And in my book, Terre Haute has done well by its people." -f HE CITED that the nerve centers of the nation may be the largest cities, "but the heart of its backbone," he said, "are the smaller communities, where people are important to people, where we learn to live and work with one another because we need and depend upon one another. "Everyone recognizes the importance of a college education. But too often we overlook the importance of an education in the lessons of living, the lessons of lelping people and being helped in return. The smaller community is, in its own way, a college of experience where these lessons can be learned best." He then touched upon C.

S. noting that within 30 days it will issue its annual report showing, among other things, that its net earnings for 1960 show the highest increase for any year in the past decade. AT HOME and abroad, he said, the company's operations are being expanded and extended. The groundwork is being laid for even greater progress in the months and years ahead. "But just as long as there can be, in this great land of ours, the effective partnership of company and community, just as long as this partnership is built and maintained by people of good will," he concluded, "as long as we follow the God-given precept of seeking and finding mutual best is just another way of stating the Golden this troubled world will ever become a better place to live, for us, and for ihose who come after us.

"This, in the last analysis, is what Commercial Solvents and Terre seen working toward for more than 40 years. This, I know, is the architecture of our partnership in the future!" THE DINNER was opened by the nvocation given by the Rev. larold E. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.

Tribute to those who arraneed for the dinner was paid to Wilbur Keko, ocal plant manager for C. S. Tohn Lamb, executive vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Arthur Crary. club program chairman, by Forbes as made the introductions of hose at the speakers' table. In his welcome.

Mayor Ralph Tucker said he regretted that the iditor of a certain national maga- ine was not present to see "we are a group of people who do 'are" and then paid tribute to C. S. S. for its many contribu- ions to the community. A brief history of the salute dinner was given by Crary.

He ntroduced William Over, retail idvertising manager of the Indi- inapolis Times' and governor of he Sixth District of the Adver- ising Federation of America. Over reported briefly on the Mid- Winter Conference of the A. F. vhich was last week in Wash- ngton. D.

C. IN ADDITION to those mentioned, at the speakers' table were J. Fred Dudley of New York, C. S. C.

vice president in charge of engineering and production; George Lyon of New York, vice president of Fuller, Smith Ross, agency handling C. S. advertising; Welby president of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce, who last year was honored at the salute to the trucking industry and he as president of the American Trucking Association, and Mrs. Frantz; Graham McMillan, vice president of C. S.

C. in charge of research, and Mrs. McMillan; Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs. Forbes.

Also here for the dinner was Eckard Wheeler of Monroe, general production manager for Solvents and brother of the president. Magazine Continued From Page 1 about the the article was destined to be a onesided story from the beginning. Tucker, armed with figures, blasted the picture painted by The Post. "It is not easy to send material to offset a thing like, this," the mayor said. Figures show, the mayor continued, that in 1960 Terre Haute had more new homes than any other comparable city in the state.

Fourteen new industries, meaning thousands of jobs, have located here in the last 10 years. Millions have been spent on new churches in the last few years. Indiana State Teachers College, one of three institutions of higher learning here, has more than doubled its enrollment in 10 years. Observers noted that an appeal for suggestions brought limited, results, but probably started some deep thinking. Joe Solomon of Furniture Fair suggested that the "legal minds of the community consider a suit against the magazine." JAMES CONOVER, co-ordinator of Vigo County school planning suggested a professional sociological team be asked to make a survey and print the results in the Post.

John K. Lamb, executive vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, took the positive approach. "Where do we go from here?" he asked. "Lets take this as a challenge. We know we have the know how and ability here.

Is there a willingness to unite? The finest reaction we can get from the magazine would be a story of a great accomplishment in Terre Haute." Lamb said that this was just another of a series of articles to overplay a few local situations. He added that they make no attempt to give credit to efforts to bring in new industry, which means new jobs, or to tell of the other progress being made here. HE REFERRED back to the Life magazine article, timed with the federal trial of nationally known gamblers here. It was Life's turn then to use Terre Haute as a target. "We went to New York to talk with Life's editors," Lamb continued, "and they assured us they would print another story on Terre Haute if we came up with a major accomplishment." "I have sent them several suggestions since that time," Lamb said, "but to date they have found nothing worthwhile writing abut." Lamb added that he feels the editors were sincere and that favorable space can be obtained if the right story comes along.

Paul Pfister backed up Lamb's thoughts. He said he hopes the Post article will be forgotten. "It's just like a basketball player," Pfister said, "If he is fouled and the referee doesn't see it, there is nothing he can do about it. The important thing is what will we do next." MAYOR TUCKER interjected with "This is no cheap pulp magazine. It is a highly respected magazine.

And they call us the most wicked city in the nation. "It portrays the citizens as wicked and declining. They say the people live in a wicked city and want it that way." The mayor revealed it all started last October when a man came to his office and said he wanted to do a story on the economy and industrial growth of the state and that Terre Haute is an important factor. "I was certainly glad to talk to him." Tucker said, "But he soon changed his tactics when the interview started." Lamb also had a personal meeting with the Post writer. He said he didn't have to tell the writer anything about Terre Haute.

The writer told him about several situations in the city that Lamb didn't know about. Lamb also claims he was misquoted in the article. "I didn't tell the man that Terre Haute people didn't care," he said, "I may have said some people don't care." Tucker then called on Emanuel Gorland, executive director of the City Department of Redevelopment, to tell of the strides being made in urban renewal. "I am a new member of the community," Gorland said. "I took the job here because I saw a desire in the people to get ahead and a people that recognized its problems.

"Much that we have done thus far can't be seen as yet. But tremendous progress has been made in urban renewal in the last 15 months. Soon we will have something tangible to show. In five years the city should be the queen of the Midwest." Among those attending the meeting were Morris Landsbaum, president of the Department of Redevelopment; Arnold Thornson, Allis-Chalmers; 1 Westrup Quaker Maid; Lou Hoffman, Dumes Salvage; Troy Burnet, Oscar- Drug; Max Gabbert and Jim Conover, executives with the Vigo School Corporation.
