Don’t miss it. ion for Decatur. Lets make the old Next week is annual clean-up occastown look bright and attractive. That means so much in these days when hundreds of visiting automobile pass over our streets daily. Traveling folks have their eyes open and do not hesitate to boost the good towns they pass through. The boys are having a good time this week and at the same time gain ing much valuable information and advice. They have visited a number ( of the local factories, have been en tirtained in numerous ways and have been made to feel that they are a real part of a real community where real service is recognized. Only a few countries in the world have absolute prohibition as in this country. One of these is Hedjaz in Asia Minor where the penalty to be caught drinking any alcoholic beverage is death, the law fixing this as a capital offense. That ought to cure or kill the law and the people. We shudder to think of such a penalty being imposed in this country. An Evanston woman called for police to stop a “whoopee" party going on in a flat above her apartments. Two loads were sent but the poor woman had to call for another squad as the first arrivals joined the crowd , and the jamboree got so hot that the plastering was danced off the ceiling. That's more of the same trouble, those authorized to enforce the laws, too often join the violators. It is significant that the announcement of the offer of a first class education to some hoy at the expense of Thomas A. Ed son, the great inventor, should be made during Boy's Week. Some lad will be chosen soon for that place and while he will be assured of I an education ami a place in affairs of the world he will assume a great responsibility for Mr. Edison is doing ' this with the hope that he will succeed him in producing inventions in the future to help mankind. Governor Leslie has opened the doors of his office to newspaper men, which means that the public will get all the dope, and there is much of it. as rapidly as it is given to the governor. For some years the newspaper men have not been admitted to the governor's office, except on invitation and the news was given out by the secretary usually. Just how the new plan will work depends largely on how careful the reporters are to protect the governor at those times when It is best judgment to do so. A few days ago we published an editorial from the Bluffton Banner concerning a change in the ownership of the Home Telephone company at Portland, the article including the statement that it had been sold to the Indiana Bell company. We have been informed by representatives of the latter company that this is not true and investigation shows that the new owners are the Goodrich crowd from Winchester which has taken over several telephone companies over

TODAY’S CHUCKLE New Haven. Conn. — <UP> — While the city sweltered in a spring heat wave that had broken every weather record since 1873 city laborers in shirt sleeves worked in a main street behind barricades carrying the inscription "No Parking. Snow Removal.” < <■ " 1 ■■ l the state. The correction is made in order that there may be no misunderstanding among those interested in such transactions. According to (information from William J. Titus, chief engineer of the Indiana highway commission, the contract for paving number sixteen from this city east, will be let some time 1 in June and will be built either late this year or early next. The delay is unavoidable because so many other projects are now ahead of it which should cause those who desire the road west from here to speed up a little. If they will do so, the road will be taken over and maintained at once and will be paved as soon as possible. Hundreds of Adams county citizens join us today in expressing our sorrow because of the death of an old friend, Henry 6. Michaud, former I county official, leading citizen and a splendid man. As one citizen expressed it this morning, he was the most widely beloved man in the county. He met life and its adversities with a smile and always with a determln I ation to do his share and do it well. When a very young man he met with an accident so serious that most men would have lost their ambitions but not so with him Instead he fought the harder and he won. He earned his way always and isntead of being sad and disheartened, gave much i pleasure to others by his optimism. ■ He served as a member of the school [ board at Berne, as postmaster and as county auditor and in each place showed his efficiency and good judg ment. To his family we express our sincerest sympathies in this hour of their sorrow. Mr. Michaud will lie sadly missed In many circles of Decatur and Adams county. New York has adopted a highway policy which is said to contemplate the gradual elimination of grade crossings. But there is, in this announcement, no occasion for unbridled optimism. The difficulties attending the elimination of road-level crossings can be appreciated by considering that, during 1928, California spent >3,500.000 for this purpose, with the result that just fifteen crossings were eliminated! A good beginning, of course, but not only a beginning—on an enterprise which will necessitate the ex-1 penditure of staggering sums for its ultimate success. While California was wiping out fifteen crossings, new road building and new’ railroad construction in that state created 253> more, making a total of nearly 13,000. The number of fatalities at crossings in the same year was 165, in a total of 2,179. Total fatalitiesi for the United States were 2,568 from the same cause. The latter constituted a ! gain of 160 over the preceding year. While we hope, of course, that there will finally be elimination of all grade crossings, that event is plainly reserved for the rather distant future. There is certainly not the slightest shadow of a reason for ceasing to teach the lesson of caution. Carelessness continues to be the outstanding factor in the grade crossing equation. —Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. — — 'rit? CONGRESS TODAY •—(U.R)— Senate: Continues debate on farm relief bill.
