IWe are on the way—its 1934— | i tlie old year went out with a bang , ; (hat brought cheers from every one i and every where. Lets go. i - 6 The old year closed with marvel- ( ous statements of progress by the , leaders In every line of business. , From Maine to California come re- , ports of a better condition and , general feeling that we are out of £ the woods and headed for pros- £ perous daylight. I ( ~ News of great Importance is be- . liig given you in this paper each , day and you will profit in many 1 J-ays by keeping your name on the 1 list of subscribers. We are mak- 1 wig a special effort to get every < one to renew during the next two | hionths and we hope you sign up J and thus help us to plan for a | better paper and a greater oppor- 1 tunity to serve you. —■ : — ! < And now comes congress and all Alia! goes with it. While many are X'xpeetiug a free-for-all battle, we believe yon will be surprised at the v " smoothness of the session. President Roosevelt is still in command, supported by about ninety per cent . of the people and will be able to ' convince the members of the lawmaking body that what he wants j is right. Pleas Greenlee, secretary to Gov- ' ernor McNutt, has issued a statement showing a saving to the laxpayers the past eleven mouths of "more than twelve million dollars, i df it had been a deficiency it would j <-4iave covered the front pages but , ..since it is working out, the politically inclined, prefer to discount .. the very wonderful fact that pro- , “gress has really been made (hat ’will pe.mit low tax rates in the > "future. The folks who expected an extension of time In securing their * automobile license plates realized that they are supposed to have their plates and license hy the first of the year and all over Indiana there was a wild scramble that made it tough for every one. •»A1 Keeney did grant a two-day ..urmistice, but will issue orders to start arrests tonight. There is no “foolin’ ’’ about it evidently and the easy way to do it is to get in line and get '-rur license plates. Nerbert R. Holthouse will serve -us chairman of the committee which will give a local birthday party ball honoring the birthday of President Roosevelt on the night of the BOth. Plans and names of committees will be announced soon „ and it will oc the effort to make it the greatest event of the kind ever held here. The profits will he sent to the Roosevelt organization for endowment of Warm Springs, so this foundation may carry on its f national crusade against infantile paralysis which every year physically handicaps thousands of chil- ! dren. Every one knows the gallaut fight made by the President and Wery one who can will ho will-

ing to do his bit towards making the birthday party a real one. It is interesting to know what people who are neither Democrats nor Republicans think of President Franklin 1). Roosevelt. It is Inter-1 estlng to know what people who j are not Americans think of him., The tact is that he Is greatly ad-| mired abroad. Foreign nations are i much interested in his program. The general opinion is that he is j leading America into a new era and | nearer to the goal of democracy j than the United States ever has ( been before. In this connection we , quote the recent statement of Dr. Gabriel Terra, president of Uruguay. Dr. Terra said: “Having! been a professor of economics myself, 1 recognize in President Roosevelt a master of the science.” — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazeztte. It is practically assured that the federal appropriations for the employment of men will be renewed and that this work will go on until early summer. That being the case it should be the earnest desire, accompanied by what ever effort is necessary to plan for substantial improvements. That may require some little expenditure on the part of the local governments but we would have something when its over that will eventually save money. ' For instance in Decatur we should be seriously considering a sewage disposal plant. Within a year or two this will be compulsory and it would be much easier to finance now and at a saving of fifty per cent. There are other tilings to he done that will help every community iu the county if proper thought and necessary cooperation given. o ♦ ♦ Answers To Test l Questions | i I Below a/e the Answers to the j Test Questions Printed on Page Two. • X.

The students were all attention with the exception of a few that stayed up to bid the new year a hearty welcome and set up with the infant for several more hours The three-minute talk by each of the students was very interesting and instructive, although some of the students thought that Col. Reppert had a stop watch. Dwight Miller of New Salem, Indiana is the latest addition to the class. The auction yesterday evening was a decided success with plenty of entertainment and new surprises every minute. The cash prizes seemed to be appreciated by the winners. You may be the lucky one tonight. The school has settled down to hard work and the students are making splendid progress. Will be seeing you tonight.
