Youngsters, join the Junior Chamber of Commerce. We need your help in making this the best community in the world and keeping it that way. The President wants congress to adjourn by the Fourth of July and , if they do, the whole country will feel more like shooting off a few firecrackers. Rev. Arthur B. Brown, after four years of excellent service, lias resigned as pastor of the Buptisl church of this city. He and ills family have made many good friends here who regret their contemplated departure and who wish for them all success. Edward Ludwig, supervisor in this district for the national reemployment service will be in Decatur Monday, May 6th, to register those who desire jobs and who have not filed their names during the past sixty days. Efforts are being made to provide work for all who seek it and if you want a job, this is the time to apply, lie will be at the FERA headquarters. Plans are complete for ‘he Evangelical conference which convenes here Wednesday and will continue during the week. Several hundred visitors from this conference district will be present and the sincerest welcome is extended to each of them. Wc believe in Decatur. It's a good town in which to live and its better because of its fine churches and the splendid men and women which have been sent here by this conference to lead our religious life. It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to have these good people as our guests and we assure them every courtesy. Tune in Sunday night al ten o'clock and listen to President Roosevelt in another of his fireside chats. He will probably tell you of his hopes and his plans for the future and you are interested in these regardless of your politics. He has made a great effort and with results. While the opposition press tries to ridicule and destroy his prestige, they cannot deny that he has tried earnestly. Nor call any one who wishes to be fair deny that general conditions are greatly improved. We don’t know what his message will be but we are sure it will be worth hearing. Roy Smith must die in the electric. chair at Columbus. Ohio. August 9th, sorry ending to a life of reckless law violations. Reared in this city he was known by many people as. a had boy'and later as a man with criminal tendencies. Nine days ago he murdered Forrest Good, a Van Wert deputy sheriff and then in a confession said he did it so he could get away. He had no defense and at the hearing before the three judges Thursday, showed no emotions of any kind. He will have about a hundred days in which to think it over and he surely will realize that it has all

been a sad mistake. The ouly good that can come of the terrible event is that it should teach other boys who may be similarly inclined that crime brings no reward except sorrow and suffering. The authorities of Van Wert county deserve commendation for the promptness with which they have dealt with the affair. Just a week after the crime was committed, Smith was found guilty and sentenced to death. PRECIOUS CARGO: When thought is given to the fact that 7.006 school buses are operated daily through the school year in Indiana and that, they traverse 200,000 miles of highway, each day hauling 306,000 children to and from their schools, sober minded folk must be amazed at the hazards run. Fathers and mothers of these children surely arc the first to praise the work of the 1335 legislature which enacted numerous new motor vehicle safety laws, particularly the act which sets up a board to draw safety specifications for school buses. This board, including the state director of safety, state director of public health, state superintendent of public instruction, state motor vehicle director, and the lieutenant governor, already has acted. School buses must be of steel -bodies sufficiently strong to sustain the flight of the whole truck if overturned. They must have emergency doors and shatter-proof glass. They must have proper ventilation and drivers must pass health examination. The law Insists that all school buses must conform to these standards by September 1, 1940. Fifteen hundred of the old nondescript buses will be replaced this < year. Such safety improvements coupled with the unbending efforts of the state highway commission, the commissioner of motor vehicle licenses and state police should go a long way in the next year to re-!. duee the daily dangers that threaten the precious human cargo of innocent school childrens’ lives. _____ 0 *STAR SIGN ALS* by OCT A VINE J For persons who believe that huthe daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
