OFFICIALS NAMED: — Appointment ot the chairmen of the various council boards and committees and of the new officials for Decatur were announced today by George Krick, mayor-elect and will, we believe, meet with general approval by the people of the city. The selections were made by Mr. Krick, we are informed, after conference with and approval by the members of the council, showing harmony and a desire to work for the best results. Mr. Ashbaucher will head the electric light committee and the board of safety and has the advantage of four years service on these committees; Mr. Hunter is chairman of the judicial committee; Mr. Linn head of the public improveemnt board and the street and sewer committee and is an experienced man; Mr. Vance will be in charge of the finance board and the purchasing committee, responsible places for which he is fitted and Mr. Miller will preside over the water works committee. Sephus Melcbi. recognized as an efficient police officer will serve as chief. He has had years of experience, having served four years as sheriff of the county and been on the city police force in various positions for years. Orval Harruff will continue as city engineer, his experience qualifying him splendidly, for the .place. Amos Fisher, well-koown,. contractor and in every way capable, will be the street commissioner and Jack Freidt, a member of the fire department will be chief. The board of health. Dr. Miller, Dr. Keller anu Mrs. Heller, will continue the same as it has been the past four years. The new officials will begin their duties the first of th e year and the appointments seem to have been made solely with a desire to give the best service possible to the taxpayers, which is as it should be. Appointment of the police a»d other officials will be by the mayor and council immediately after organization of the new administration.

Golden Rule Sunday, tomorrow, the people of all nations are asked to > gather figuratively around the same j table and partake of the same food. : representing the menu which the ; parentless children of the Near East I hope, by the benevolence of the West, to eat 365 days in the year. For the American housewife, it is an inter- ' esting experiment in the simplification of the household menu, and in the possibility of obtaining from cheap staple foods the necessary warmih and energy to support life. Nobody is likely to criticize the American relief organization for giving a too luxurious menu to their refugee and orphan charges in the Near East. The minimum weekly cost of a balanced ration for growing children is figured by the Near East Relief <!T; around $1.50 per week, and it is interesting to learn that most of the foodstuffs provided are sent from America, being staple foods available to the whole public here. Golden Rule day, then, will be an object lesson in how to live on little. Cheap staple foods are obtainable for every American family, and the cost of the average kitchen can actually be reduced considerably, if one Tnows the relative food-values of various foods and the scientific requirements of a balanced ration. Grocers and butchers throughout the United States are participating in this annual campaign, emphasizing the values of these staple foods and "cheap cuts/* which are used in the Near East to bring back sturdy

"Common sense in food’’ would be a good motto for the average American housewife to keep over the kitchen table, not only on Golden Rule Sunday, but all through the year.

’ Road Superintendent Magley has a difficult job and should have your Sincere co-operation. It is his duty to preserve the roads and while he is anxious that nothing be done to interefere with business, he cannot permit the roads to be ruined. During the past few days the highways have been very soft and the heavy hauling has done much damage to the roads. IVVith the limited amount of money for repairs, this makes conditions bad. When the roads get bad we all complain. The thing to do is to help Mr. Magley keep them as good as possible. In a day or two we can tear up a road so badly that a large sum will be necessary to restore it. Official notice is printed again in todays issue and every one should aid u complying with it. The Good Fellow’s fund is growing, perhaps a little slowly, but we have faith in the good people of this community and we feel shre that next week will bring a ready response to the appeal for the cash which will assure the boys and girls of this city and community. all a merry Christmas. A little touch of winter today aftei a mild weather and rains. Terrible weather, we say. but after all not so much different than the average. Going through our files for twenty years past we learn that mild Decembers are not unusual and that severe weather with freezes do not come to this section much before January. ♦ ■ I '~~ " ~ Indications are tjmt the roads will be damp and slippery tomorrow and it may not be amiss to warn you if you contemplate using your automobile. to be careful. Drive carefully and keep control of your car. It may prevent an accident. Drop a dollar in one of the boxes for the Good Fellow club. If you can't spare a dollar, put in a half, a quarter or a dime. Show your desire to help this good cause. — n
