With this hazy atmosphere hanging on don’t be surprised to see the snow plows furrowing paths for you one of these fine mornings A Good Fellow is a person enjoying a few comforts of life who wishes to see others less fortunate have a few necessities on Christmas Congressman Fish, the ambitious New York congressman is out with a statement that he favors Senator Borah for the RepublTcan nomination for President. That should boost the famous Idahoian's, chances a bit. Although the state highway and the city street departments sand and salt the approaches at principal street crossings, there is. danger of accident in slippery weather if you drive too fast. The ' other fellow may be having just as difficult a job in trying to come to a stop and it's those instances that cause the trouble There can't be much wrong with the credit of the United States : when shrewd investors gobble up' in a few hours 900 millions of bonds, interest ranging from 2% to 1% per cent. The issue was! oversubscribed. The United States has untold credit and since the i worst of the depression is over, expenditures will be less and bond ■ retirement will begin. Public work will be carried on in 1936 in order to provide em-' ployment for several million men. i With industry being keyed in high ; gear, with more modern machin-, ery eliminating man power, it stands to reason that projects of a public nature and in which private enterprise does not wish to engage must be carried on by the government. ——— The new corn-hog program as ’ announced by Secretary Wallace I I ( permits a 30 per cent increase in hog production and up to 95 million bushels of corn. The increases are designed to bring about a more equitable price in the price of hogs, as tar as the consumer is > oncerned and at the same time prohibit a destruction of the plan which so far has been so successful for the farmer. The control program accomplished a great pur-: »ose in bringing prosperity in some degree, to the rural sections and farmers have voted almost 1 unanimously in favor of continuing the policy. The International Livestock Show In session this week in Chi'•ago is attracting more than the usual amount of attention, inter•st and attendance it is a great exposition, probably the largest ever staged and the cncottraging part is the prominence of young folk in the program. Young boys and girls from the rural sections,: representing practically every part | of the country have participated in'

the show. The business of farming and stockraising has advanced with the times and the youth of today Is going about tho job with a determination and endeavor which breeds success. Farming, like any other business, must keep young and methods and practices carried on by the younger generation prove the zest of youth must be applied in all successful underj sinkings. You know the true definition of a Good Fellow. Man or woman is included. To be a Good Fellow you must have the desire In your heart to bring cheer to needy children and families at Christmas time. If this urge is strong ' enough, the answer is simple. All you need do is to donate a fewdollars to the Good Fellows Christ- ; mas fund, sponsored again this i year by the Delta Theta Tau sorority. For the past 12 years Good Fellows of this community have ' brought cheer to those who otherwise would not have seen Santa Claus or received a gift from the venerable and charitable gentleman. The Good Fellows club is so organized that the young ladies of the sorority do all the work, make an accurate survey of those in need and who should be remembered with clothing, shoes, and naturally no one who claims to be a Christian would begrudge a little candy to the children on Christmas eve. Send your contributions Ito the Daily Democrat office or place them in the boxes at the First State bank and the Rice hotel. The Good Fellows will do the rest and Christmas will be a happy time for you. —— I The Decatur Knights of ColumI bus were honored in having as guest speaker the other evening. Father Paul Deery, of Bloomington. youthful state chaplain of the fraternal order, father to the boy in trouble or assigned to his care and friend of the youth on the college campus. One of the first to be assigned to the Gibault home for boys at Terre Haute, Father j Deery learned early in life how- to . give a helping hand to delinquent youth and his description of the I death bed scene of one of his former charges "who made good,” was touching. Beside his duties, as pastor in Bloomington, the kind- 1 ly priest assists in carrying out a program for college students who wish to avail themselves of club facilities or occassions for good fellowship and spiritual contact. i His talk was inspirational, and the means of charging a group of at-1 tentive listeners with a higher sense of duty they owe towards society in general. Fellow lodge members enjoyed his visit and address immensely, aud were greatly impressed with his sincerity and enthusiasm for a noble work. o * TWENTY YEARS - * AGO TODAY I From the Daily Democrat File | Dec. 4—Ford's peace party sails on the liner Oscar 2nd and thousands cheer them away.

CONSOLIDATION OF UNITS URGED Gov. McNutt Urges Consolidation Os Governmental Units IndiauapoliH, Dec. 4— (U.K) — Cunxolidajtion and elimination of smaller governmental units is the only logical move toward reduction of taxes and fixing the responsibility Os public officials. Gov. Paul IV. McNutt told members of the National Tax Administrators association last night. "Governmental administration costs must be reduced if tho taxpayer is to be given any further relief," the governor said at the closing session of a tax conference, "From the standpoint of fixing the responsibility of a public official. there should be no chance offered to him to hide behind boards and commissions. The electors should be able to know definitely who Is responsible for . activities of their government. “It is no part of the democratic 1 ideal that government should be disorganized. The executive must be given an opportunity to suc- : ceed. "The county unit ap'pears to be the only logical form of local government since modern communication makes a county as close to the people ae the township was 50 years ago. "County government iu Indiana has grown haphazardly. We should clarify the positions and duties of each county official and provide a responsible head of county government. Power and . authority have become so confused that no official can be held directly responsible by the voters of the community.” A. J. Maxwell. North Carolina commissioner of revenue, succeeded Fred E. Stewart, California tax commissioner, as president. A. H. Stone. Mississippi tax 4 official, was elected vice president, and Clarence A. Jackson, director of the Indiana gross in- | come tax department, secretary. • -■ - o — Asks Huge Sum Os Film Producers Indianapolis.
