And that's small compared to the gain that will be made this year. t The slippery streets and roads ! continue in the north part of the 1 state and warnings have been sent ( out to all to use the greatest care. The past few days have been the worst along this line in years, ac- . cording to reports from the Fort £ Wayne weather bureau. | f Al Feeney, state director of pub- ' lie safety has ordered the state not display 1935 tags on their car. That means its unsafe to go any place, so if you intend to drive. < go to your license bureau first and gel fixed up for the year. ■ •' i 1 There is not better advertise- t ment for a town than a good police t force and that will be one of the ambitions of those in charge of city affairs. Courteous treatment' < of strangers, but a keen eye for • law violations is needed and the officials will be instructed and schooled along that line. —»— i ■ ■ . t This is our thirty-third year in ‘ the daily field and we are asking ■ those subscribers who live in the , first sone, a fifty-mile radius, and who receive the paper by mail, to renew now if their subscription is due. We hope to further increase ' our lust this year and to do that : we need every one of the old family. One Decatur store reports an increase in business for December 1 over the same month last year of 1 i forty per cent. Department stores , in many cities showed a 33% gain 1 and all business showed a decided ' gain of from two to 21%. That's ; concrete evidence of better times. Don’t fool yourself by thinking along pessimistic lines. We are around the corner. President Roosevelt takes the position that to pay the soldier bonus at this lime would really work an injury to the veterans rather than a betftfil. An investigation recently completed for him, shows that 85% of dying veterans leave tin legacy to dependents ex-1 cept these certificates. It win bn ; one of the big fights in the present ' session of congress, many mem-! bers being pledged to vole for payment of the bonus. The Indiana state legislature will convene tomorrow and for sixtyone days, the law makers will be busy making new laws and revamping old ones. Its always an interesting event, more serious than many realize until the laws enacted become effective. This years the program Is not as extensive as it was two years ago but the liquor, tax aud relief problems will bring forth some mighty

I arguments and a division of opin- ' ion that you will want to follow. — i From one of the states much talked about because of its being a playground for criminals. Indiana will soon be recognized as one iof the outstanding ones in the I Union to fight crime. A new 31W.-| i 000 radio system, an Improved jforce of state policemen, a cooperation between state, county city officers, all these things and. more will soon produce a real' machine with which to oppose i those who destroy law- dnd order., For this, much credit is due Gov-' ernor McNutt, Al O. Feeney and the others who have been fighting for it the past two years. .. . .. _ Mayor Holthouse starts off his administration with modesty whiuli is becoming, urging cooperation from all citizens aud organizations, that we may go forward. He advocates a parking lot that will relieve down town congestion on busy days, maintenance of the city parks, lower tax rates if and when possible, better lighting in the business districts and several other improvements. He will insist upon ail employes aud officials doing their part, being courteous and efficient and they begin their terms with the enthusiasm that should take us far along the progressive road. The first session of the new city council last evening gave evidence of a desire to serve the people faithfully and well and your approval and constant helpfulness is their desire. Officials are your servants and we feel it will bea pleasure for those now in control to follow your wishes - along the lino of maintaining our fine city and bettering it in every way possible. We are on the way. —o A 0 , Household Scrapbook , ROBERTA LEE Smooth Hands The only way for the housewife 1 to keep glands smooth during the wintamndutbs is to keep a bottle of hand lotion in the kitcaen and use it after washing the dishes.
