Doubly itnpor’ant is the new year tor it briugi Decatur's One Hundretn Birthday The extent of the headache to-' day largely depends on the reception accorded the New Year last night. —BM—M A new year lies ahead, affording opportunity tn all to recoup lost ground and to forget past' troubles and disappointments. Resolve to be one of the persons to help iu community undertakings during the year ■ f anyl evtnt is usually measured by the • amount of support given by the individual. Continue the Christmas spirit throughout the year and you’ll enjoy life more. It's so easy to be courteous, friendly and helpful and i it makes others feel kindly and cheerful. Alvin Karpis, who it seems has taken rank as Public Enemy No. 1, Is back in print, this time with an escape from Kansas City police. He better enjoy his freeuom while he can, for some day he will fall | before the law People love io hunt and fish, j nearly 1,800 resident licenses being | issued the past year at the county ; clerk's office. No matter if the catch Is not so good, the average i person enjoys getting away from! the daily grind and finds recreation' in roaming through the fields or boating on the lakes and rivers The Lindberghs seem to have gone to England in order ti> be away from America during the * week that Bruno Hauptman is sup- ■ posofl to be executed for the kid- , naping and killing of their infant son. We don't sec much wrong | with that and if in their shoes i would probably do the same thing. 1 it appears to tu that he has a right | to such <i dooiinon. Contract has been awarded by | the State highway commission for s Ibe construction of I." .3. road 221 ! west of Decal nr to the Middlewest: Load company The road will be improved this year as tar as MagIcy and as finally decided, will be vt bituminous concrete, the contractor's bid for material being about five thousand dollars under the oue for cement Not stffco 1929, when the country had ai> inflated and top-heavy prssiwrity, has business in gener al enjoyed stu-Ii substantial gains, I' tom Hie auto business down to 'll" candy niauufa'tiirers, increassale;.- wen.- noted.

4,150,000. having a wholesale value of more than two billion dollaiz The state highway commission will install electric flasher signals at the Peunysylvauia railroad crossings ut Monmouth and on South Winchester street. It's a good step in the cause of public safety. Several fatalities have occurred at these two crossings and the flasher lights will at least war n motorists of approaching trains. Os course if the driver is bent on trying to beat the train, no signal is any good. What can be done to eliminate the last minute conjestlon in obtaining the new license plates’ Should the plates be put on sale' earlier or larger headquarters es- | tuhlished to take care of rush bustI ness ? Possibly nothing can be; done. The average person waits ' until the last minute to pay taxes. ' although a six month’s period is given for liquidating the spring 1 and fall installments. Then all we can do fs to wait iu line. From the survey of local Indus-, tries made by a Daily Democrat I I representative, 1935 was a good | year all around. Several large expansion programs wore started and i completed and still others are in I the pro< ss o:' completion. Most of the industrial plants enjoyed heavier scb. ei.i-- than in any year since 1329 and as a consequence employment was exceptionally good. The progress made in the past 12 mouths put Decatur up a notch or two and executives of 1 the various companies speak onj couragingly about future prospects. The new year should bring still . further community advancement. o TWENTY YEARS - * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File i Jan.

By MAURICE MERRYFIELD hiternatio.ial Illustrated li'ei.. Writer NEW YORK—I'm fed up with this business of making New Year tesolutidn? every 12 months and then spending the next few weeks berating my weakness of will power for breaking them so quickly. . It is amazing the number ot resolutions one can think up after a particularly riotous New Year’s Eve. The- length of the list depends in nprt on the degree of hangover, but the milder forms of morning-after-relapse are sufficient to inspire a> crore-tn more. One sits Up 111 bed—'if one can sit up—and matters thickly, with what can be mustered in the way of determination: ‘Think of Rockefeller. Think of Lincoln. Think of a number between one and ten . . . think of tbit last drink you took .. . ohhb. But here ■wpull yourself together, if they eo<ld do It you can. In the first place, I'm going to have a bromo. . ~. Resolution! All Bunk ■JNo sir. That's all the bunk. Ibis modern age is no place for mental rackcloth and ashes. A chap has a right to get-a little tun out of life tylien he’s young We’re only young once. At least I felt young las’ night." it's much nicer to Ural; up ieso-I Juliens for other people. It realty is surprising how easy it is to figure nt things oilier people ought to do. !
