Have you tried driving those unmarked roads and then hit a stretch that is and have you noticed how much easier and safer it is? The Indiana state fair will open next Saturday and the plans indicate it will he one of the greatest ever held. Hundreds from this part of the state plan to attend this always interesting show. The State Highway Commission could do no better service of improvement than to see that all

black top highways have a white line down the center. Numerous accidents in this locality recently have brought this to mind and we hope it will be done and speedily. Talk all you please about the McNutt administration but be fair enough to tell the truth. By the end of the first year of his administration, the tax burden in Indiana will have l>een reduced six mi’lion dollars. That’s certainly a step in the right direction. Talk about politics. You can have any brand of it you desire if y>u attend an American Legion convention. The Evansville meeting was full of it, both as parties and to Legion offices, but we don’t know of any better program than cne in which there are real contests. That adds to the interest and makes it all worth while. Dave Erwin, old-time Decatur resident, and a son of the late Judge Richard K. Erwin, dropped the message in Decatur, inviting everyone to take part in the fourth district NRA celebration to be held in Fort Wayne Thursday and | everyone is going to accept it and help make it a real recovery event. "Wherever the Blue Eagle flies, we shall keep his wings clean and his talons sharp," spoke Hugh Johnson in his address to the people Sunday night. Know what that means? That we must all keep our promises to Uncle Sam and really do the things required to make the fair competition question work.

the attendance was practically 100 per cent, showing proper interest. The speakers were frank and bont esf in their statements and the , teachers derived much from their addresses. Comments indicate the institute is one of the best held here in years. ,The Bluffton city council has adopted resolutions favoring the proposed Wabash river improvement and needless to say their action will be approved by everyone interested in this Important work. Similar action will probably be taken by councils and boards of commissioners !n Adams, Jay and Wells counties. According to an Indianapolis story, there Is considerable talk that Pleas Greenlee is to be given another job and someone else put in his place who has not had to contact the job hunters. That may be wise but they will look a long time before they find a more industrious. loyal or capable man for the job he has so courteously and efficiently held the past trying seven or eight months. An unusual number of week-end accidents, most of them on the highways, again c|Us to mind the old warnings about being careful when behind the wheel of a modern autombile. They are powerful and when one of them skids or bumps into some object, you can get ready to answer questions to St. Peter. It begins to look wise to build more roads so the traffic can be split up and so there can be regulations for safety.

Raymond Moley, head of the President’s "brain trust,” and one of the close advisers of the administration, has resigned as assistant secretary of state. Just what happened is more or less conjecture but it is not unexpected that two men as strong minded as he and Secretary Hull do not agree. Mr. Roosevelt no doubt feels I hat when there is a disagreement in his family, it should be settled. He has accepted the resignation. At the rate the old folks are applying for pensions under the new law whicn becomes effective January 1 next, the estimate to cover same may be a little low. In this county the preliminary estimate was $9,000. The state must provide the same amount. However this will not begin to take care of the 136 who have already applied, provided of course, that all come under the law and that the commissioners give them the limit of $15.00 per month. . o « —4 household Scrapbook . -ByROBERTA LEE ♦ ————♦ Ironing Table Linen Iron the table linen on the wrong side first, then on the right side.

A Proclamation by the Governor WHEREAS, throughout the Nation during the month of September many States propose to conduct street and safety campaigns in an effort to reduce the Country’s annual automobile accident casualty record which numbered 29,000 deaths and nearly a million persons injured last year, and WHEREAS, more than 1.000 persons nite death in automobile accidents in this State last year, and many times that number suffered injury, it is highly desirable that the citizens in this State should join with those of other States in making every possible effort to promote safety on the streets and highways, and WHEREAS. Indiana ranked thirty-sixth among the States last year in its record of deaths from autoinboile accidents, and automobile accidents constitute the ninth most serious cause of death among the citizens of the State, Therefore. I, Paul V. McNutt, by virtue of the powers vested in me as Governor of Indiana, hereby proclaim the month of September, One Thousand Nine Hundred and ThirtyThree. as Highway Safety Month and request that every community take steps to promote the safe use of the streets and highways in its immediate locality, and that all civic organizations and public institutions assist in the activities so I initiated, and that all’persons, pedestrians as well as motorists, give every consideration to their manner of using the streets and PAUL V. McNUTT, Governor. CSH-OT*'.’*-' ’

It will not be used If you prefer that ft not be- ; —• For The Library Dear Mr. Hill tor: I have been following with keen Interest the splendid series of articles which have been appearing in your paper from time to time, relating to the situation confront ing our public library. They have been all the more valuable to me coming as they do from people rep resenting nearly every business and profession in the city of Decatur. I too bog the privilege of adding my voice to this growing chorus. For over a year I have been conducting an experiment in the field of adult education. In this time I have had under my direction not less than sixty men. varying in age from sixteen to forty. These: men represent the highest possible type of our community manhood. In their intellectuals development they represent every stage from grammar school to college. It was through this experiment that I discovered that the public library represents one of the greatest links in the whole field of popular education. In the minds of many , people the public library represents a questionable luxury, to be enjoyed by the privileged tew. The very reverse, however, is true. This splendid institution is not only an almost indispensable adjunct to our school system, both Catholic and Protestant, but it stands alone in its providing an opportunity for men and women who have been underprivileged, in the field of early education, to take advantage of a hunger for self improvement, and to raise themselves to a higher intellectual level. The library idea lias never had f the popular support that it was entitled to. Thousands of men and women have been enriched through their contacts with the public library. it is high time that those' who make our laws and those who! administer our laws be brought toj realize that they are doing the! finest possible thing, by doing I everything possible to make the public library one of the strongest links in our educational systems.

tA&P Maintains Former Store Hours* In complying with President Roosevelt’s NRA program for retail stores as expressed by Administrator Johnson, A & P store hours will be maintained as follows, effective immediately: Daily, Except Saturday, 6:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. Saturday Only -6; A. M. to 11;30 P. M. We quote herewith from a message by Hugh S. Johnson, NRA Administrator, delivered Sunday, August Sixth from Washington to retail store employers. “If the store hours are reduced by this agreement to any number of hours below 63 hours the re-employ-ment which is anticipated through the allowance of the 48 man work hours each week will not be obtained and the understanding upon which the food and grocery distributors and the retail codes were based will not have been carried out. “The proposal to shorten hours is in violation of Section 8 of the President’s re-employment agreement." A& P extends its willing cooperation 100/< to the President and the NRA Administration in their efforts to make the national recovery program effeCt’ve and this announcement of our store hours is in accordance with the administration’s wishes as quoted abhve. ROBERT LEWIS, \ Vice President Central Western Division
