If Miami and other Florida towns were looking for relief projects, they now have the opportunity to include the wreckage caused by the hurricane. The alley intersections along Second street are being repaired, better drainage being provided at > these points. It is a good improve-1 meat and one that pedestrians will; appreciate. — The football season, with its col ; or and enthusiasm is here. The I Yellow Jackets got their first ex ' perience yesterday, held their op-1 ponents to a scoreless tie and will, continue to make a good showing l during the coming months. Estimates of PWA and WPA projects filed by municipalities are higher than actual estimates would be. This is done to avoid the til-; ing of petitions for additional funds and to have a sufficient estimate on file to base the government's share. The actual cost only of a project is paid, regardless of the estimate and the higher figures in no way affect the cost. The Chamber of Commerce will s]H)usor the big Centennial celebration in Decatur next year. Soon I a permanent committee or organ-! izations will be completed and plans made for one of the most outstanding community events ever held in the country. Let's put on a great historical exhibit, pageant, dedicate the Homestead, make every effort to have President Roose-1 velt visit us and work together in making it a wonderful success. Decatur can do it. It should not be overlooked that the demand for old age pensions is growing each year and that in cases where the applicant is entitled to payment, they must be allowed, in this county the 1936 appropriation for pensions is $20,000, an increase of $2,000 over the 1935 bill. It will continue to grow as the age limits will be reduced Under the Indiana law the applicant must be at least 70 years of age. while the federal law provides for those over 65. It won t be long I until the same age limit applies to this state. Eventually the amount will be double that now appropriated. It may be costly, but on the other hand is a safe-guard against poverty in old age. It you don't need a pension, be thankful you can help pay, COLISEUM AS AN INVESTMENT The argument always advanced in support of a proposal to spend millions tor a great municipal auditorium is that the city needs a hall In which to entertain large conventions. Tnere are a few na tional gatherings, of course, that could not be accomodated ip the downtown halls in Indianapolis,

but they are few and far between. The great organization meetings that bring crowds to a city do not ordinarily need large halls. For example, a national meeting of the American Legion would attract tens of thousands to the city and probably not 1 per cent of them would be delegates or attend the official sessions. The great conventions the sponsors of the auditorium idea generally have in mind are those at which presidential candidates are nominated. They do call for large buildings, but none more capacious than the Butler fieldhouse or some of the structures at the state fairgrounds. The great national political conventions, however, come only once in four years and then there are only two of them. The city that gets either must put up SIOO,OOO with the national committee to help to defray the cost of holding the session. If the municipality comes out even it probably is in luck.

A great coliseum to cost $3,500,000, as suggested, would mean an interest charge of approximately S3OO a day, 365 days a year, even at the lowest rate for which money might be obtained. In addition, there would be maintenance costs and other expenses, to say nothing of the amortization of the debt. Considering the many days each year that Indianapolis could not hope to be host of a great national convention, and when interest would keep piling up, the conventions would have to be very profitable to balance the budget. A l great auditorium is a fine munici I pal asset, if the community can j afford it, but should be rated as ia luxury and not an investment.— i Indianapolis Star. o *¥tar Tig n aT s * by Octavine ♦ 4 For persons who believe that humar destiny is guided by the planett the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

By HARRISON CARROLL ■ Copgrighl. IMS. King Features tundieate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD- It seems to have escaped printing but has the stuff of drama. Several months ago. In preparing "The Mutiny on the Bounty", Director Frank Lloyd located the great-grandson of Fletcher Christian.

The dead man's widow, Mrs. Edna Christian, and his five-year-old son. Charles, Jr., sail in October on the S. S. Philatelist to make their penna, nent home on Pitcairn island, where the survivors of the Bounty crew form the chief element of population today.

I; Before he was loaned to It-K-O to; play opi-osite Ginger Rogers in "In | Person", the star flew down to i Mexico. A dwindling gas supply suggested a landing at Ensenada but when Brent dropped out of the sky, he,found a herd of cows spread out ovt-r the landing field. Giving his plane the gun. the actor rocketed aliout 10 feet above their heads. It was a new kind of riding herd, but the cows soon took flight toj;ne end of the field and Brent made his landing in safety. You Asked Me and I'm Telling You!
