A judge up there fined the famous Sally Rand S2OO and sentenced her to a year in jail for dancing tn sliver slippers with a large pink fan to protect her from the gazes of the curious at a Century of Progress concession. More of that kind of medicine would be good for the fair and Chicago and many other places. There are numerous strikes over the country, a rather queer thing since we passed through the serious part of the depression without these terrible and usually foolish outbreaks. Seems as though now when every one is supposed to be on the up-and-up, we could get I along better by using plenty of good old fashioned common sense > and remembering the Golden Rule. ! A large number of the members of Adams Post, of the American . Legion, will leave here Sunday for ' Chicago, where they will take parF in the national convention. With an attractive float, the drum corps, a hundred boys in uniform and the flags and banners waving, they I will attract attention and let thous-' ands know that Decatur Is a live city. The local post is one of the most active in this section of the ■ middle west and we are very proud | of them. While taxes will be slightly higher in most townships of Adams county, next year, due to the fact that we rather overdid the reduc- j tion program this year, they will, in dollars and cents, be far below the old rate and much lower than they would have been if we did not have the income, intangible and beer taxes. And the good part of i it is that this county is now on such a basis that in the future we 1 may expect lower rates. This year 1 we had a disagreeable job to per-' form and the men in charge did it \ in the very best manner possible. ' Although any city or county in I Indiana can easily borrow money from the federal fund and with the understanding that but 70% must be repaid, applications so far are I for less than 10% of the amount available. Most officials, who have! I just concluded the effort to hold | taxes down, are loathe to take any steps which in a year from now means added levies. Os course if there is dire need for an improvement, this is a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to finance it, but it must be remembered that we are adding to that long list of necessary figures in the future budgets. With the General Electric, De-' catur Castings Company, Central. Sugar Company and other Indus-' tries herj leading the way to pros-; perity, we should all support them I one hundred per cent, boost sor 1 them and make it as easy as possible for them to continue. If they can show earnings, the good work will go on and the coming winter will be the best known here in four or five years. No town in the country has a better opportunity than Decatur. Let's keep it that way by using good judgment and assisting those who are really sacrificing In their efforts to progress during these days which are of course difficult for those carrying the • heavy loads. o | Answers To Test Questions Below a.e the Answers to the Test Questions Printed an Page Two. 1.

' They averaged 1000 feet of concrete a day, the new pavement be- i ing 20-feet wide with eight-foot t shoulders on a 60-foot right-of-way. This project is one of many j Emergency Federal Aid projects sponsored by the Indiana State 1

Highway Commission. The new pavement, connecting Portland and Bryant, is an important link in U. S. 27 extending from Cincinnati through Richmond and Fort Wayne to Coldwater and : Cheboygan. Mich. It will also carry traffic between Portland and Bryant over State road 67 which crosses the state in a northeasterly direction from Vincennes, through Indianapolis, to Portland J and Celina. Ohio. The concrete was laid over an | old road, including two and a half ' miles of brick and water-bound i macadam. Unemployment relief is being ! greatly extended on new highway i i projects financed entirely or in I part by National Recovery Act funds, through strict limitation on the use of mechanical equipment. I The act seeks to provide as many ■ jobs as possible in the community in which the construction has j been authorized. o I 6 Tons of Horseshoes Melted Pittsburgh —tUP) — They talk 1 of the horse and wagon as a thing 'of the past, but read this; Six : tons of horseshoes w re hauled I from a blacksmith shop of Thomas | I Mawhinney in the East Liberty i ' district, to the melting pot of a South Side mill.
