GIFT: It's not unusual for the General Electric company to contribute generously to every worthy community endeavor or enterprise and the substantial gift of 31.300 for the beautification of the parks at‘ the government Homestead site is in keeping with a magnanimous company policy. This nationally known industry, of which Decatur lias the privilege of being identified as a home of one of its model plants, has always demonstrated an interest in home life ami the creating of better standards of living. The gift, made through the Chamber of Commerce, is as Mr. Goll, manager of the Fort Wayne Works, stated tn his letter to “be used exclusively for the purpose of plowing, fertilizing and seeding three park areas . . . the object being to develop a lawn on these areas and thus contribute to the beauty of this project.” With government appropriations limited, the G. E. donation will, make it possible to carry on the proper cultivation and development of the park areas and turn the place from a clay knob into a place of beauty and enjoyment. As lias been said, the General Electric company is continually and earnestly interested in the j home life of the American people. It recognizes the fact that from j good homes, emerge contented and worthy citizens, men and women who help build this country and keep the wheels of industry going. The company's generosity is appreciated by all and reflects the unselfish and noble attitude always demonstrated by one of the country’s leading industrial concerns. There has been much discussion of Ruth St. Denis’ portrayal of spiritual worship through a specially arranged dance in which Ruth attempted to interpret the 121st Psalm. The dance was staged during a regular worship service at the Park Presbyterian Church in New York City several Sunday ago. Those favoring the dance, including the Rev. Edmund Melville Wylie, pastor of the church, contend that such an exhibition provides emotional outlet closely akin to the new interpretation of religion end that every sort of physical expression is appropriate to the worship service. The conservative religionist, contends that this invasion of the church by the terpsichorean art is out-and-out blasphemy, while not subscribing to either view, wo nevertheless have the feeling that tlie 121st Psalm could very well and probably could more effectively be interpreted without resort to dancing. Dancing has its place, but the regular worship service of a church is not the place.—News-Sentinel.

A citizen living in the south end of town is author of the statement that "as soon as the farmer raised fewer bogs those living on the outskirts of the city started to take ’ up the business."

TAX COMMITTEE OPENS MEETING Legislative Tax Study Committee Considers Consumer Sales Tax Indianapolis, Apr. 3.-(UP) Drafting of a consumers' skies tax ami | drastic revision of smaller governmental units were two major problems before the legislative tax study committee when it began a series of meetings here today. With a mass of tax information from other states and the voluminous report of the governmental economy committee before them, members of the committee began studying recomendations to be made to the next session of the state legislature. The committee was appointed by the presiding officers of the senate and house at the close of the regular session. Its primary purpose was to study forms of sales taxes with the view of drafting such a tax for Indiana. The results of the study will be drafted into bills to be presented either at the special session this summer or at the regular session in 1937. With strong sentiment toward consolidation of local governmental units, the committee studied the proposed elimination of townships and establishment of the county as the smallest unit. A model county governmental setup was proposed by the governmental economy committee which made its report to the last legislature. Tbe consolidation plan has been discussed extensively among members of the committee and with state officials, and, is expected to be recommended by the committee. Opponents to the plan charge that it will not effect reduced costs, but instead increase them. Under the proposal, the county would be under the supervision of a county council, composed of the auditor, clerk, treasurer and councihnen at large. Discussion of new tax legislation will center around a two or
