We don't need a crank to start the cars any more but we have plenty to drive them. In this day of record-breaking there is one which still stands —Rip Van Winkle slept twenty years. Try to btjjit that. It is suggested that because the girls pay two dollars for a pair of silk stockings they think they have the right to show $2.25 worth. Write a letter to the state highway coinmission asking them to takd over tire east and west road through this cijpnty. We have had three or four premises from them but so far they have not taken definite action. Right now a little urging will bring it about. «a» It cost New York City $16,000 to cle-an the streets after the Lindbergh cviebration and the white coated sUeet men picked up 1,800 tons of wjs;e paper and confetti. It looks RJplish but try to stop a crowd of Americans these days when they are ‘‘cutting loose.” fifty miles an hour is unsafe and foolish. Why do it? So frequently do accidents occur, many oL-them serious, that it would seem w* would all learn to be more carefO. but like the over sea fliers we I stj-rn to think we can get away with iC Drive carefully. <• _ ——————————— •Winchester street has been opened for light traffic and should be used far that purpose only. The street is sSh and will not stand heavy trucks o£ horses and wagons for three or fdtir weeks If the street is permitCtf tB ' >i will :i •’•■."_• 1 !’■'!•'.'Ug!!f»re. Please be careful and help keep the street in good condition. “New York City owes nearly two btflion dollars which is more than aii the states owe, real estate mortagages in the United States amount to four billion, the government owes twenty billion, every city and county ojf’es something and some of them much. Some dav we will have to pay. How? When? Who? Thousands of autmobiles will use the highways over Labor Day, this afways being true when there is a double holiday. Its fine to travel and t» visit but those who wish to go again will remember that too much care can not. be exercised. Don’t take too much for granted from the culler driver. Keep control of your car so you can get out of the way if necessary. •4* ' .......>-r--Line street, south Winchester and other streets and country roads have been greatly injured because of the extra traffic while the state road is bJing constructed. Its wrong to ruin s|Jme roads while securing others and we insist the state highway commission should see they are repaired. We gain nothing it we give up the roads and streets we have paid so tjjttch for even if we do get a few tjliles of hard surface. ~A high state official and four or five others of more or less size will be indicted by the Marion county grand jury when they report next week, it U stated on good authority. Who Is (Je high official? Did he ever own £ horse? Will Stephenson have the gnnpauy he desires and if he iloes

will speak to one another when p they meet In the narrow hallways? Just a few things to think about in this day of ‘getting buck to normalcy' In Indiana. ,‘ After announcing a decrease of ten t per cent, on freight rules for hay and , straw from Ohio. Indiana and Michi Can to permit fanners and dealers in this section to meet competition in 2 the eastern states, the Southern J Classification Committee has now anj nounced an eighty per cent, increase ) It looks like the time when every one ’ should rise up and let out a yell.that ) will be heard from coast to coast and from gulf to lakes. Its certainly unfair and unjust and at a time when the aid should be coming the other direction. Central Ohio has an epidemic ot infantile paralysis, most dreadful ol • all diseases to which children are ■ prone. Columbus and Cleveland > each have more than fifty cases. Marion and Mansfield and other cities and towns in that section report a ’ half dozen each and so alarming has 1 the condition become that West Vir 1 ginia has quarantined against travelers from Ohio. The disease is communicable and the greatest care should be used. Frequently it is not manifest until after the germ is en- ’ trenched and the damage done. Isolation and the greatest care is advised. by leading physicians. The annual observance of Labor Day is a fitting tribute to the worthiness and dignity of those who toil ft is an outward expression of an inward feeling of appreciation for those who perform the homely tasks of the world. While Labor Day is primarily the festival of organized labor, it is also dedicated in its larger sense to all who work, whether with hand or brain. Only the idlers and parasites are rightfully excluded from the homage which it pays to those who serve mankind. Viewed in this light. Labor Day is something more than just another holiday. It is an occasion full of moral and spiritual significance; a day on which to recount ■W-Suhfevoments of the race made possible through earnest effort: a day on which to rejoice in the emancipation of the masses; a day for the advancement of the brotherhood of man. o * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * **#¥¥¥*¥¥*¥** SATURDAY'S FIVE BEST RAL J FEATURES WEAF —Hookup 6:30 pm.- First act of ■‘Peggy Ann", Vanderbilt Theatre New York.

In your Issue of August 24. there appeared an article relative to munization” against diptheria signed by one Sue M. Farrell. The Adams . County Child Health Board wishes to ( lay that anv recommendations that are , being made relative to immunization igainst diphtheria, or any other re-1 commendations in the interest of child tealth, are received from Indiana State Board of Health at Indianapolis, which Board again is cooperating with the United States Department of Labor, Children’s Bureau, Washington, D- C., and that they ought to know what hey ere doing, ana whether immunization against diphtheria is a safe and sane thing or not. Quoting Dr. Schweitzer of the Indiana State Board of Health relative to this article, “Although there may have been more cases of diphtheria in some one year than there were in another the chances are that there would have been huudrds more had not the ■ diphtheria immunization been used. «

Again physicians have known always that persons who have asthma or per sons who have previously been sensl tlzed by the giving of antitoxin should have the Immunization dosage of toxin antitoxin given cautiously. "Some fatalities may have been due to a lack of precaution or a failure to find out whether the person n be immunized had been previously sensitized. Physicians who do the work of immunization are the ones to take the precautions. 1 do not know the persons who ore responsible for the rrtick but the group Is one which has for many years opposed advances in medical science."
