Boy, oh boy, and are they working at the sugar factory. It’s your day and your town. Legionnaires. Enjoy your visit and come back. The 1933 call to arms was answered by the Legionnaires as they headed towards Decatur. The old days of 1912 when Decatur made its first bid as a thriving manufacturing center, were recalled yesterday when the rebuilding of the yards at the sugar factory got under way. The General Electric plant worked overtime the other night and that’s something new. To prove the efficiency of the local plant, an order was received in the afternoon, the motors made up and the next noon shipment was made. Bring ’em on boys. This part of the state is exceptionally proud cf the new United States District Attorney James Fleming of Portland. Mr. Fleming is one of the able attorneys in the state and coming from a neighboring city is known here to many. His friends extend congratulations and wish for him all the good things which come to public officials who discharge their duties in an honorable manner. Hats off to Commander Adams, Chairman Holthouse, Dee Fryback, Jim Staley, Abe Miller, Paul Graham, Ferd O'Brien. Lloyd Baker, Vincent Borman, Ernie Stengel, “Yub” Schmitt, Leo Ehinger, Paul Saurer, only to mention a few of those who planned and worked so diligently in bringing the Legion convention to Decatur. We know your guests will enjoy the meeting and Decatur is happy and proud to have you. An eminent artist has completed a portrait of Governor Paul McNutt which will be given a place in the capital building, along with those

of his predecessors, for the edification of present and future generations. If the artist did his subject justice, the McNutt portrait will long remain an outstanding object of interest in the picture gallery of state executives, for in physical attractiveness the present governor has those who preceded him in office outdistanced a mile. Some of the old timers who wore whiskers may look dignified, but that is as near as they can come to vieing with Paul for public attention. — Goshen News-Times. We don’t believe the government, through the provisions of the In-| dustrial Recovery Act, is going to try to muzzle the press or that the President is going to use any power given him to limit the freedom of the press. As a manufacturing concern, newspapers might come under the provisions of the Industrial Act. In a lot of cases, the hours of labor, the number of employes, could be made to conform to the national bill. To attempt to control the press is a horse of another color and no government, , at least in America, is not going to branch out in that direction. The Constitution of the United States prohibits such interference 1 and when freedom of speech or of the press is abridged in this coun- ( try there’ll be more trouble than that caused by a depression. The nation has absolute confidence in the sane and American-like judg-|l ment of its President in dealing l with this question. It won’t be long until the benefits of the now Home Loan Mortgage < act are available to the public. The ' means of refinancing home mortgages through the two billion cor- , poration, will able many to hold onto their properties and have pay- | ments reduced so that they can afford to carry them. Up to 80 I' per cent of the appraised value of I a property, not exceeding $20,000 in any case, or more than $14,000, as a loan, can be secured on mortgage if the holder thereof is willing to accept bonds, interest on which is guaranteed by the government. Cash loans are limited to 40 per cent of the value of the appraisement, the interest on the latter plan being six per cent and ‘ i under the bond plan only five per cent to the borrower. As the bill provides for only two billion dollars of credit, stacked against the ' estimated home mortgage indebtness of 20 billions, every deal cannot and will not be financed under the new government plan, but it will go a great way in relieving much of the financial pressure of th a present day. Decatur took its place among cities enjoying more than the average share of manufacturing activity, when 65 men were put to work at the Central Sugar Company yesterday. The rebuilding of the yards at the factory, the only one of ~its kind in the state, is a large undertaking, entailing an expenditure of more than $60,000 and meaning much to the communitjl. Efficient and modern methods of unloading and handling beets during the sugar making campaign will be the result of the improvements and to appreciate what is

being done one must see the work underway. To Mr. McMillen, Mr. Snyder, Mr. Calland, Mr. Oksen and their associates, the community owes much and the least that can be said is that all hope they realize their fondest dream in making the local plant one of the most efficient and best in the country. The sugar company officials assure, that with a break in weather, including several good showers to help along the beet seed, everything will be In shape for a great campaign this fall. Decatur is a step ahead and we have reason to feel happy. — o Thief Left Two Dollars Brownsville, Pa.—(U.R) —A superstitious thief, who couldn’t overcome his aversion *o two-dollar bills, robbed a cash register in Joseph Asa's confectionery store. He took S4O, leaving a $2 bill in the register.

The ball room offered the setting for the gathering and over the stage and balcony hung banners bearing the sorority name in gold letters. The stage was entirely (banked with greenery, flowers and tail standards holding blue and gold tapers. The chairs of the delegates were covered with blue and the chapter names in gold.

GAS VICTIMS ARE RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) home or after they reached their homes. The gas was described by witnesses as a green haze which came out of the tank in a thin stream after the top blew off. Dr. Charles W. Meyers, superintendent of City hospital, said it probably would be 48 hours before full effects of the poison could be determined. It works slowly, he pointed out, and victims were warned not to expose ti',<-mselves because their lungs will be readily susceptible to disease for several days.
