Ever mindful of hit obligations as a citiien, Mr. Proebstel did 'not con fine his attention to business solely, but took an active and influential part in community alTairs.

This decree ha3 all the ear marks of socialistic confiscation of private property. If a tenant may possess the house or land which he occupies forever if he chooses, own ership has no significance, since the man in whom title is vested cannot do what he pleases with his own.
