With new auto agencies opening here, a revival of trade is seen, together with a brighter outlook on conditions. Ixxal dealers predict one of, the l»est years in history and that means the other fellow has money to spe*d. Indiana banks have more than $303,000,000 on deposit, all of it being insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation. That’s quite a record compared to two years ago. when deposits shrunk to nothing and every bank had to close. Better times and increased buying is forecast in the estimate of additional farm income for the past year. Hoosier farmers received about 60 million more in 1934 than in the previous year amT with farm prices still going up, the increase will be more in 1935. Two years ago yesterday President Roosevelt took his oath of office and electrified the world with his great message. He has kept his word and the nation has confidence in him. History will place Roosevelt in the niche with such leaders as Washington and Lincoln. The bill establishing a state planning commission is a good one. It's regrettable to think that most states have gone along for a century without systematically planning or studying the needs of the people. The planning commissions should be extended to local communities and a program built for the next generation. February business indexes show industrial production steady, factory employment up six-tenths of one point, payrolls up nearly three points, freight loadings up one point, department store sales up two points, building contracts steady and wholesale prices up sixtenths of one point. These arc in comparison to January. The legislature is in its lust week and night sessions will be held to put through the important bills. Tile liquor bill will probably be disposed of today or Wednesday, leaving a few of the most important measures to be acted on before next Monday. It has been a most interesting session and typical of the Indiana variety, politics being mixed with statesmanship. Evidently something will have to he done with South Winchester street. With the frost coming out of the ground, the top surface is crumbling away and the street is becoming bumpy. Although the stretch is within the city limits, it is part of U. 8. road 27 ami all of the traffic over this important highway passes over th* thorough-. fare. City offfficials will make an

effort to get the state to repair the street and put it in first class shape. If the four billion public works fund is distributed on the basis of population, Decatur should receive approximately $158,804, providing the bill becomes a law. However it does not seem that the per capita basis is the correct method ol distributing the funds. There are muny towns and cities in the west and south where their share would be wasted, while cities in the central west could use more than the amount ulloted to good advantage. Many worthy improvements could be made in this city if the federal funds were forthcoming. TO CIVIC BEAUTY: Begin your city beautification on Main Street, urges Earnest Elmo Calkins, dean of American advertising men. in the current Rotarian Magazine. Every visitor sees Main Street, but it often lags far behind the residential section, even in towns which are becoming beauty conscious. “And why is it", Ke asks, "that a business man who takes pride in the appearance of his home grounds does not apply the same philosophy to his store, or shop, or offee? It is far more essential in one way, for attractive business places draw trade. “Os course, the first step toward making your town better looking," says Mr. Calkins, “is to create a public opinion, a local self consciousness, a community pride, which will soon seek justification. When a town is once thus aroused to the economic advantages of beautifying itself, the program be- ' comes definite. It is easy to create an ideal community when one starts from the ground up. but most of us must work with the towns we have, which have already grown without guidance, and the first problem is to undo, remove or hide eyesores, and emphatically to establish a public spirit that will controb nil future developments « * along the best lines. “Trees on Main Street are perhaps not practicable,” he suggests, “though they will be in the future ( when we begin to apply all we have learned about town planning. And factories can be and have been made as picturesque as old , castles by trees and vines. It is possible, to clean up vacant lots and plant them—and this is one step toward selling them —to abolish unnecessary signs, to produce ’ some uniformity, to use color and height and cornice to bring about harmony in place of the heterogeneous hodge-podge that is the principal thoroughfare of most middle-sized towns. “Os course, we cannot tear the town down and begin ail over, but ( new buildings are erected from time to time. There should be a i plan, an idea toward which the town could work. Showy pretense must b? avoided, such a concrete blocks masquerading as honest stone, stamped tin cornices, corrugated iron roofs. Such things do not fool anybody. The material should be honest, honestly used. You may get used to it, seeing it every day, but visitors see it with a fresh eye, and judge the town just as you judge a man, by its dress." J — • « Modem Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q. Should Hi' hostess pian some entertainment for each day of a house-party? A. Yes; t make the house-party a success this should be done.
