Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies Angola has set August 10 as the date of beginning its Centennial celebration. Decatur's should be announced soon. The action of the city council in petitioning for a decrease in power and heat rates is typical of the spirit of progressiveness which has made Decatur the best town in Indiana. "No retreat" has become the slogan of President Roosevelt. The country is fortunate in having a man at the head of its government who will fight for his ideals In the face of the most severe criticism. Physicians state that colds and other diseases resulting from exposure are more common now than in either extreme cold or hot weather. We are often caught unprepared by a change of temper ature. A young St. Louis man and his ■ wife were fined $25 tor cruelty to animals when they locked their dog in a stuffy closet. Their baby was found in the same closet but no law could be found prohibiting' this. So this is civilization. The accident at Huntington Wed- i nesday night when four persons were killed and five injured is un-1 fortunate. A bus collided with a truck on a bridge. Five investiga-1 tions have, been unched to ascer- ■ tain the cause and if possible the j blame. The man who can find a solution to the problem of decreasing highway deaths is deserving of a monument larger and finer than that of any general who ever saved this country. More Americans were killed in automobile accidents last year than were killed during the ' World War. . Os all the men in the country i who we wouldn’t want to see suffer i a broken leg, "Marty" Mylott, superintendent of the City Light and Power plant and equally as well known as “number one public servant” would head the list. City councilmen who also suffered bruises and sprains in the auto accident, lost track of their pains and injuries, because of the more serious injury suffered by the. genial and accomodating department superintendent. Their auto skidded on the ice and ran into the side of the bridge south of Portland. The fact that the driver was not driving fast prevented a more serious smash up. “Marty’’ took the jolt in his usual good natured. way and thanked Divine I’rvoidetice that he escaped with his life. The same accident, could i

have happened to anyone and it is , i egrettable that it occurred to the j Decatur men who gave of their time yesterday in rendering a public service to the community, appearing a few hours earlier before the Public Service Commission in filing a petition for reduced electric rates. CLIFFORD TOWNSEND: Friends of M. Clifford Townsend, lieutenant governor of Indiana, are pleased to know that he threw his hat into the ring for the gubernatorial nomination at the Marion Jackson day dinner. His qualificaI tious for the important position are well known. As commissioner ;of agriculture he managed the I state fair so successfully that he turned a deficit into a $38,596 profit last year. He has further prov-. I ed his abilities in serving as head lof the state department of commerce and industries which includes the division of agriculture, the division of packers, and stock yards, the division of public health j and sanitation, the public service ■ commission, the industrial board, I the division of mines and mining. | the state veterinarian, the administrative building council, state live ■ stock sanitary board, stream poli lution hearing board, and state i milk control board. To his political record should be added his success as a real dirt fanner and leader in rural cooperative movements. | Perhaps Mr. Townsend’s chief asset is his personality. Few people have ever talked with him or heard him speak and afterwards have been honestly able to say that they disliked him. His friendly , smile and homely jokes will win him more voles than a million dollar campaign fund. Adams county is assured that his campaign will be ably managed by Dick ih'lh r former Decatur young man, who Thursday resigned his position as secretary to Mr. Townsend, to personally direc t the campaign. Headquarters will be opened Monday and the slogan "Going to town with Townsend" '! adopted. II Church on Site of Still I ’ ! Keii;:-.,lia.
