The building and opening of the I Homestead division, improvements I and enlargements in local industry I are in the picture for 1934. The ' economic condition is not viewed w ith much fear around these parts. Don't be afraid that, our government is going to crumble. President Roosevelt is as patriotic, well grounded in functions and purpose of the American form of government as any man who ever sat in ' the White House. Put your confidence in him Yost Brothers of this city were the low bidders on the four bridges to be built on state road 527 southeast of Decatur. Total contracts amount to about SIO,OOO and em--1 ioyiueut to seweral score men will be given us soon as weather conditions permit the operations. With the new bridges the road will be one of the safest to travel in this part of the country. The attitude of cooperation as demonstrated in this community , for a number of years has more than paid big dividends. We have a score of the finest and most progressive industries in the middle west. The town is looked upon as an outstanding place for mauufacturprs to locate. Labor conditions . are' excellent. Let’s never forget thc’hand that has fed us in trying to get more sugar on our cake. ; Dan C. Flanagan proved liis abil-! Ilyas an orator and his address before the Chamber of Commerce was I enjoyed by the more than 100 men ! who attended the annual banquet.. He painted a fine word picture and admitted that since America has , sio ■ essfnlly combated every other problem the present economic, con-' ( dition would soon or later yield to'’ the indomitable American spirit. We say it will and without blood- ' shed. i — ■■■■ Ward Callnid in a short talk on ' the sugar business expressed his , company’s thanks to the Chamber I of Commerce for the spirit of coop- 1 oration shown when initial steps wi re taken to open the local sac- l tury and secure beet acreage. It 1 goes without saying that the sugar ( company and other industries appreciate the help given. That’s tho 1 way to build. Make Decatur so “dorn” good that, even the biggest ; of industries will want to locate here. At the same time you arc helping those already here and , I I Special attention —lor the proper preparation of funeral shipments anywhere, time or distance. W. H. Zwick & Son i.

they say, a bird in the baud Is worth two in the bush. Senators Van Nuys and Robinson and Congressman Farley will appreciate the interest shown by this community iu cautioning against the passage of any legislation detrimental Io the domestic beet sugar industry. Naturally out here in the country we don't know all the Ins and outs of governmental and economic relations between Cuba. Hawaii and other island possess- : ions and our representatives in con- , gress are there to study these problems We feel sure that the President will not do anything to injure the farmer who raises beets in this country and those of us who are greatly interested in tlie Central Sugar Company and its successful operation can help by making constructive suggestions and pointing to conditions as they view them. New directors of the Chamber of Commerce have been elected and officers of the association will be chosen at the meeting of the board next month. Plans will then be made to conduct the membership campaign anl as Jimmy Elberson. the president stated, “we should

' have three to four hundred mem- ' bers." The board is now eompos- ! ed of Mr. Elberson. Dan Tyndall, ! l-’erd Litterer, Oscar i.ankenau, i Theodore Graliker, A. R. Holthouse, J. Ward Calland, Clifford Saylors and Jess Rice, the later three living the new members. Mr. Elberson and Mr. Tyndall rendered valuable service during the year and although 1933 was not a banner year in business, accomplishments in the local community were outstanding. credit for a united cooperative spirit in large degree being due to the Chamber of Commerce. A churchman of note, a gentleman of the cloth and a zealous worker in the ministry of his choice and love, passed witli the death of the Rev. C. P. Gibbs, pastor of the First Methodist church in this city. With a residence here all too short. Rev. Gibbs aid not become generally known to all. Those of his flock and outsiders who had the privilege of meeting him and listening to his words of w isdom, found in him a splendid gentleman, an able spiritual leader and sincere worker. He had a record of attainment and lett as a result of his line example the teachings of the Master in the several communities where he served. During the World War lie enlisted as a Y. M. C. A. secretary and served his country overseas. His family knows it has lost a kind and devoted husband and father and to them sympathies are extended in this hour of bereavement. . > , , TWENTY YEARS | AGO TODAY J I From the Dally Democrat File Feb. 21 —‘Frank Sholly and son of I Oklahoma are making their first visit here in 25 years.

Purdue Book Valuable Many Indiana tanners who are busy assembling information on past corn ami hog production records for filling in the corn-hog reduction contracts are overlooking tlie fact that receipts tor all hog sales made this year will be needed next winter to substantiate fulfillment of the contract in order that final reduction payments can be authorized, it was pointed out today by O. G. Lloyd, head of the farm management department at Purdue University. “The 1934 edition of tlie Indiana Farm Record Book, which will soon be available, will materially aid the keeping of such sales records in accessible form when the 'compliance check-up date comes next De ' cember or January,” said Professor!
