The holidays are over —Congress is in session. We thought it would come. One of the wits remarked to the young lady "that it was a perfect 35." Great is the man who can keep in high spirits during a January thaw. If the weather man has an eye for beauty he'll send a half hour, rain to wash the streets, walks and general landscape. Huntington citizens are doubly happy for the new year. It brought back their street lights and the candles and lanterns have been put away. Turn on the radio this evening and hear President Roosevelt deliver his message to congress. It will be one of the most important talks ever aelivered by the chief executive and will give you a clear idea of what he intends to do during the year. A couple day's of grace was granted by the state police director in not making arrests of those who operated their automobiles with the old 1935 plates. Beginning today arrests will be made. The last minute rush at the local bureau has abated, so you better get the red and white plates before you run your car. A Clinton boy died from injuries received when an auto struck his sled, tied to the rear of another | car. To parents, it sends cold chills up their spine to ree the youngsters indulge in this winter sport. It. is dagerous and each year severe injuries oT fatalities result from it. Better pick out a hill or good sliding place and avoid the chances of being run over. The advent of a new year, looking back to the one just passed and viewing the 12 months ahead, probably influenced Arthur Brisbane, to comment as follows: “It is well to remember that there is much time ahead, to less than WO,000,000 years of human life on this planet, barring cosmic collisions, and man now is only 12,000 years from the stone age." And we were Just beginning to think that time Hies. Stanford defeated .Southern Methodist university in the New Year's Rose Bowl game by a touch ■ down. The weather was ideal lot the big sport event, more than I 35,000 people attending. It was an exciting contest, attended by former President Hoover and Governors of California and Texas. The Mustangs were doped Io win. but in football, like other sports, the dopesters miss now and then, except when they pick Joe Uw|b to knock 'em oui I _______ < i Sudden death claimed John H., Evans, former assistant manager I

I of the Fort Wayne Works of the General Electric company. Mr. Evans was an old friend of Decatur and was known here to many. When the Decatur G. E. plant was built, Mr. Evans made frequent trips to the city and was deeply interested in its establishment and successful operation. He was retired from service a year ago and was 66 years old and died while riding in an automobile in Los Angeles. Railroads face 1936 with business prospects better than could have been found at the beginning of any of the past several years. The outlook is brighter because carloadings have shown a steady increase in the closing months of 1935 and there has been a decided improvement in passenger traffic. The increase in net operating income is expected to stimulate railroad buying, always a sure sign that general business conditions are improving. Railroads are still the business barometer of the country. —Erie Magazine. Pleas Greenlee, patronage secretary to Governor McNutt has resigned and will devote his time to his campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor. The governor has named Earl Crawford of Milton. former member of the state highway commission, banker and state legislator to the post. Craw- ' ford is a veteran in the party and known as one of the "wheel horses,” through his many year's of service. He is older than the i governor. Greenlee will be one of the active candidates for the nomination. but out of the governor’s office will not be as powerful in rounding up delegates for the convention. His power lay largely in his ability to deliver jobs and in the role of candidate his influence will not be as great as that formerly enjoyed. o * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed , on Page Two • « 1.
