Wlih your friends "A Merry Christmas” through the columns of the Daily Democrat. Looks like the boys won’t have to exchange the red sled that Santa > ' , brings this year for a i>air of roller k skatfes. I ( _ And yet getting stuck in the i. snow doesn't seem near as dirty i as getting into a mud bank, epeeially'to the fellow looking on. One of the Christmas gifts which will-be most appreciated is to , scud your out of town folks "the , Daily Democrat for a year. If you are going to do any early , • Christmas shopping better get at ,i it. The stores are still tilled with , the finest stocks you ever looked at and the prices are right. Ami don't overlook taking out a J Christmas Saving card, its one » o' the important duties at this season and means so much for I next years holidays. i' Some sarcastic newspaper re- , porter says that Senator Brook- . hart spoke fifteen minutes and told all he knew. How can he figure i that ? Why some of those boys < speak for hours without saying / any thing. During the next few days mil- ,. lions of Christmas and New Year ,i greeting cards will be mailed out i over this country, bringing cheer ■ i to every home and difficulties to those who handle the mails. Its a tine custom that seems to grow 1 ’ rather than diminish. t The Decatur Industrial AssociaI < tion should plan a big program for fl next year. The community has i stepped along nicely during 1929 j and there is no reason why we should not keep right on going. Proper committees at work will find many avenues for aiding. If you wanted snow for the Christmas season you certainly r can't complain of the liberality of ; the .weather man. He dumped it i down on us by the ton and about i every body has been busy the past I day .or two, shoveling out. It was I one of the heaviest snows ever j known here. The Rotary club performed a | good act last evening and it turnJ ished a lot of amusement. They | exchanged toys and after playing with them a few minutes, Hie big ; boys turned the airplane's and trains over to the Good Fellows club and they will thus make a t bunch of youngsters happy on Christmas day. I You still have time to add your . bit to the fund for the poor boys and girls and families of the community by dropping a coin in one i of the boxes. With the money thus raised the Delta Theta Tail girls will purchase food and fuel and candy and food and toys and thus make happy a lot of children who may otherwise be sad on , I

♦ TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U.K) 4 1 Norwich, Eng.-In accordance with an express provision in the will of Ixiuis j J. Tillett, former M.P., Til- ; left's coffin was placed on an t open trolley and drawn by a pair of heavy horses through • | the streets of Norwich, r 4- ♦ Christmas day. 1 The state of Minnesota has re- ■ I cently passed a law requiring it I to be the duty "of every school ' nurse, school physician, school at- ( tendance officer, superintendent of schools, principal, teacher and of the persons charged with the duty of compiling and keeping the school census records to cause a permanent public health record to be kept for every child of school age. Such record shall be kept in such form that it may be transferred with the child to any school which the child shall attend witlff' in the state and transferred to the board of health when the child ceases to attend school. It shall contain a record of such health i matters as shall be prescribed by the board of health, and of all mental and physical defects and handicaps, which might permanently cripple or handicap the child.” A good editorial appeared one day last week in Mt. Clemens (Mich.) Daily Leader, tilled "We Can Control Our Destiny.” The 1 comment was directed at the modern philosophy, popular in many, places, that life has become so ‘ complex t hat it transcends the power of man and that public wrongs may be so deeply entrench- ] ed as to defy reform. But the Mt. Clemens editor is not a futilist. I He cited the examples of Indiana and Chicago to prove his point, i The Indianapolis ring was as corrupt and callous a political organ- I ization as curses any community, i yet when Boyd Gurley of Indianap- I olis Times tackled it man-fashion, I though at the time his newspaper was neither prosperous nor influential. He won an amazing victory. Reforms undreamed of are coming to his city. In Chicago the editor 1 cites tlie example of John A. Swanson, the reform state's attorney,' l who with Patrick Roche as spec- , ial investigator, in a few short/ months has driven racketeers and ; underworld habitues out of town in panic. The editor might have cited many other examples. Such ; jobs can be done. intelligence, and the spirit of civic l righteousness are the requirements.
