Field Goals - ——■ Decatur fans turn their attention lo basketball again today, for tonight our Commodores start their fight for the state Catholic school championship, nt Indianapolis. Scores of Decatur people will be in the gym when the Commodores take the floor against Cathedral at 8:30 o'clock tonight. The Dally Democrat is arranging to furnish the nows to the hundreds at home. Since t'.ie game does not start until 8:30 o'clock, it will likely be 9 or 9:05 o’clock before the score of the first half is received here. The final score probably will not be available before 9:30 or 9:35 o'clock. Please be governed accordingly, because we hate to say "we haven't heard yet," even worse than you hate to hear us say It. Os course, if a call helps to relieve that nervous tension, caill anyway. Wo certainly admire the enthusiasm and fine spirit being shown by the Berne fans and the support they are giving their team. Last Saturday, something like 400 Berne people backed the Bears in the sectional tourney here and they were not only present, but they let everyone know it. Sat-

urdny, about that same number will go to Fort Wayne to back the Bears In the regional. And that Isn I til! They are taking the Dunbar band nlong to help pep it up.

March 7, i9pq DEAR FRIENDS: Yesterday a family washing came in to be done and returned the next day. The lady of the houae toid our truck driver this when he went around alter her washing with the truck he told me. She cays she’s been reading these ads about the family wet wash every r*ay. And she just got to thinking about what she’s doing. “I’ve always just loved to sew,” she said, "and i especially like to make dresses for my girls. But I always h.red it done because I thought I didn't have time.” “At the same time I just hated to wash, but I was doing it every week, anyway. Now I've detided to hire my washing done and do my own sewing.” That sounds like good sense, to me. BEN 2EEN. DECATUR LAUNDRY “The Farr Way”
