Delay in getting | materia! prevented the going ahead with tlie work this week and plans for doing the job will be completed as soon as possible, the road men '* stated. Portland is trying to get a municipal airport and a city-wide cam- . paign for funds is being conducted. With an airplane factory located there, many Portlandites qre airminded and have reached the con- . elusion that the city should have ,an airport. A good landing field is , a tine thing, but as we understand it. they are more less expensive to ” maintain and it seems that some revenue should be assured before VISIT THE .

communities become too enthusiastic In establishing one. We believe the state highway department or the city council, whoever has JurlsrtTtetion, should prohibit parking within uovcrsl him died feet of the Winchester street railroad crossing. The island bases for the signal crossing lights are! In the center of the street and when an automobile is parked on either side of the curb near the crossing the approaching motorist encounters a hazard which could be eliminated by a non-parking policy. True, uo accidents have happened there, but there is always a first time for everything and some day someone might drive head-on against the concrete bases in attempting to get around a park ed car. The News-Times and the Daily Democrat of Goshen have consolidated and one paper, published by O. M. Kinnlson and D. L. Barnhart, the latter former publisher of the Democrat, is row being issued. First copies of the consolidated paper show a well printed and edited paper, with added features and fine typography. Its subscription rates for home relivery is 15 cent a week and 34 a year in Elkhart county. Goshen was one of the few towns of 10.001) population to have two daily newspapers and in the age of consolidations the publishers waited longer than most others in bringing about a merger. The city will build a fence on the south and west boundary lines of the Hanna Nuttman park, northwest of Decatur. Not an ornamental fence, but one practical enough to keep out cattle and to mark the extent of the park grounds will be erected at a minimum cost under the supervision of Amos Fisder, ihe cit y street «immiosionei. The ' city is duly appreciative of the additional donation made by Mr. Oliver S. Hanna, who presented tlie city with 200 feet of ground adjtiftiiiTg the park on the south, , so that the fence could be erected on the opposite bank of the creek, thus enclosing a historic stream within the park. As time goes on the park will be cleaned up and beautified. Limited finances at this time prevents the city from spending any money on the project. but by erecting the fence the council meets the conditions made by the donor in offering the beautiful 40-acre tract of ground for park purposes. The county commissioners have inaugurated a wise and beneficial road building program in this county. Prevented by law from issuing bonds tor general building of roads, the commissioners have instructed the county highway department to macadamize small stretches of road so that those living on mud roads can make connections with improved highways. Tlie stretches of road will be improved under the supervision of Engineer Ralph Roop, the departi ment furnishing all stone and labor and paid for out of the funds received by the county from the gasoline tax. The state law provides for such a program. There are many places in the county where the farm owner cannot get to market or to church because of a mud road passing his farm. The improving of a quarter or a half mile stretch will make it possible to connect with a stone or hard surfaced road. About five miles of these connecting links will be improved this summer and farm owners will be duly appreciative of tne consideration and action of the board. o DECATUR ROTARY CLUB WINS STATE MEMBERSHIP' (CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE) membership, the club nearest to Decaturs gain, had a percentage gain of 24 per cent, Mr. Bimel stated. o Gigantic Structure Herodotus estimated that 100.000 1 men were engaged for 20 years in I building the Great pyramid.

Aviators conjectured that Mattern I was forced down in the desolate Arctic region, possibly damaging. his plane or perhaps just running, out of fuel. Making his way to the isolated settlement he doubtless started at' ouce to get word back to America | of his safety but with no telegraph | or telephone lines such a message i may have depended upon the speed of a courier hastening to the nearest population center. The message today'was dispatch-1 ed from Anadyria and bore the ■ I code numbers 19 5-2391!. It was ' sent urgent rate and addressed to Harry Jameson. Hayden R. Mills, I i John Clark and Sackett. Sackett voiced the thanksgiving lof tlie group. “We felt such a treI mendous responsibility,’’ he said, j "having sent Jimmy away on this, venture. For the first week he was! missing he held high hopes that ■ he had landed safely in some iso-; lated spot. Recently, however, our | ! hopes turned to fears and we had ! almost despaired.’’

James J. Mattern, 26-year-old Texas flier, left New York at 5:20 ! a. m. on June 3 on an ambitious at- ’ tempt to fly alone around the world and lower the Post-Gatty ' record. He reached Khabarovsk. Siberia, and on June 14 took off on I the dangerous flight across the ' Bering Strait to Nome, Alaska, at- ' ter having been forced back by icecoated wings on the previous day.
