Notre Dame bestowed the honor and President Roosevelt was the honored guest. Bugs Bear, subtley remarked. "President Roosevelt made Two speeches yesterday and the Re- 1 publicans ain’t picked out a man to meet him in the Rose Bowl." , Only one man in the country had a net income in excess of five mil- i lion dollars a year. He can’t spend i that much, so it probably doesn’t. make any difference to him Secretary of War Dern advises the purchasing of SOT airplanes; each year for the next five years. It’s probably not bad insurance, if those who believe in military preparedness also believe that the airplane is the means to insure it. We like the smile of the youth.

Angola is going ahead with a plan similar to the one suggested here, in organizing the town for an appropriate celebration of its Centennial in 1036. The city to, the north is as old as Decatur and the civic and service clubs and, other organizations have united j with the Chantoer of Commerce! in planning the program. We believe Decatur will not lag in planning and staging a real Centennial CHRISTMAS ' o FZ.- —■ ♦ || CHK i'av> • . qj Early American settlers used « friendly Indians 41 05 messenger;. i SHOPPING DAYS I IV TO CHRISTMAS Friendly Indians were frequently the favorite private messengers of the first European colonists in Ainrrica. The unsettled conditions of the country during that period made the safe arrival of letters problematical. The Indians, faithfully and speedy, had great endurance and knew the country perfectly so that correspondence carried by- them was more certain to be delivered. Letters preserved since that time frequently mention the delivery of mail by friendly Ind Imre. They were still used to carry l' ti< ii, in.the colony of New York for a considerable -time after regular mail service was established.

i celebration, but up to date wa have left grass grow under our feet. It's a big job to do it right und that Is the only kind of an observance we should pot on. Funds must be laised. the time fixed, a t program planned. We should get started immediately after the t Christmas rush anß all help make Decatur's big birthday party one I of the outstanding affairs in Indiana next year. Decatur can do it. [ ' AMERICAS DEBT: j To the “gentlemen in the welli warned and well-stocked clubs” ' who moan over government debt I and expenditures, President Roosevelt gives an effective reply. He usks them —the bankers, railroad presidents and financiers —to remember early 1933 when they came running to Washington begging for government loans with which to save their own institutions and how they argued then that 55 or 70 biliion dollar national debt would not be unreasonable to accomplish the personal salvation which they sought. The President refused to go to any such extreme as the big bankers suggested and furthermore he insisted that some of the national i credit must be used for the salvation of the starving, suffering, homeless humanity in this country. But as he turned to face this task, he found that the former national administration had left only j enough in the national treasury to I run the country less than one, I month. In recounting the experience, the I i President gives credit for the almost unanimous, patriotic support I given to him in that crisis by the i people. Loans were made which ; saved the banks and railroads and | insurance companies, and money , I was found to feed the starving Nobody was critical or counted the , 'cost then. But after the banks. | railroads and big taxpayers were pulled through the crisis by Dr. Roosevelt, they arose from their sick beds to kick about the medi-1 cal bill and to abuse the physician ( that had brought them back from death’s door. Since March 4. 1933, the national debt has increased from 21 to 29’i billions, the President admits. | but of this 8(4 billion increase, 1% billion is now the treasury working balance and 4% billions is in vested in recoverable loans to banks, railroads, farmers, home owners and public enterprises. This means that six billions of the debt increase is, as the President says, are coverable "investment, into a sounder future for America 1 I i I Now. if President Roosevelt began ' office with only one month s funds 'on hand it is perfectly apparent I that at least two millions of the 'I . , j national debt increase can be laid to the deficiencies created and left i saddled upon the nation by the preceding administration. And even it the whole 8% billion were a dead loss, it still is not as big a bill as the bankers in 1933 were willing to inflict upon taxpayers to save their own' skins. When Herbert Hortver was President lie incurred unreturnable debts which pushed the national debt from 17 to 21 millions. Not one hungry month was fed by the federal government then, not one I homeless person was sheltered, not one farm or home was saved from mortgage sale, no single bank was saved in fact, Mr. Hoover wasj even powerless to help “big business ". his solitary friend. This is a story for the “gentlemen in the well-warmed dubs" to ponder before they start contributing to the “knife Roosevelt movement." , o— — Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee Sparkling Eyes Prepare two eye baths of boric acid, one warm and the other cold, and use these solutions alternately morning and night.
