Christmas cards carried the greeting, “have faith in spring even though the snow flies." A month of winter is already gone, so keep up the faith. Speak iny man. speak, is the final admonition given to Hruno Hauptmann. He has a story to tell and for the benefit of all should unwind one of the greatest criminal stories in history. The 30-day stay of execution granted by Gov ernor Hoffman is proof that tio state wishes to condemn an innocent man and unless the convicted kidnaper “breaks" within the next few weeks the country will believe he alone is guilty of the crime. Sending threats to the President or kidnap notes to famous people is dangerous business. With the net work of federal detectives and department of justice men, it is impossible to elude clues. The rich New Yorker who mailed threatening letters to President Roosevelt was apprehended through a typewriter key. The federal men did a good job. Out of more than six million people, they landed their man in quick order. Under the de. d of "Snow-lILKe Miracles." au unknown author penned the following: “What miracles the snow-flakes work. As I watch from my office window they are draping the bare branches of trees in gowns of sparkling silver. They are spreading a while blanket over the muddy ground and dead leaves. When the snow flakes fall, ugliness disappears! — Isn't that true of life—hate, envy, suspicion, fear, gloom — disappear when they are buried beneath the “snow Hakes" of love, faith, tourage and joy.” You see, there is good evn in a January snow storm. Township trustees, school officials and teachers will appreciate the additional $12.50 to the state's payment for teacher's salaries for the last half of 1935. payable this month. Governor McNutt has ordered the distribution of the state taxes on the basis of $212.50 lor the six months, although the law provides for a minimum of only S2OO. The governor also hopes to distribute another additional payment in August for teachers' salaries and on this plan sciiool units in the state will receive half a million dollars more than was anticipated when Hu budgets were compiled. H was wonderful to see so many men and women at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last evening Tlie large attendance clearly indicated a now awakening in civic uid commimiiy affairs ami evi deuce that Hie city lias many loyal •sons and daughters. The enthusiasm infused by Hie Junior department, together with the talks by

Mr. Clayconibe and others mude it I !<>ne of the outstanding civic gath | erings Jess Rice and his board of, , directors performed fine services 1 and have the appreciation of all I who are zealously doing their bit 'to promote community progress and making Decatur a better place I In which to live. SOCIAL SECURITY ACT: Indiana s budget set up, county ■ ind state, will not be materially listurbed during 1936 by participation in the federal social recurity program, according to the gov amor’s committee on social secur- i i ity. For the balance of 1986 the plan i is to attempt to qualify Indiana under the federal law by urging counties to make pension payments to qualify them under federal requirements, which the federal gov- ; eminent will match. For the new set-up. however, beginning in 1937. the state-and-coun- I ty share of the social security program will cost approximately six million dollars in additional funds I I annually. This figure is based on the following estimate of Indiana citizens eligible to the benefits of this program : 45,000 old age pensioners at an average of S2O per ■ month: 1,000 blind at an average of $25 per month, and 20.000 children at an average of sls per month. To further relieve the load from the county units, instead of a 5050 participation by county and ' state, the plan is to make the 1 state's ratio 60 per cent and 40 for the counties. On this basis the state would pay $5,490,000 of the total of $9.150.000 for old-age pensions and childrens’ aid. with the county ' units spending $3,660,000. As may be seen by the above table, the old-age pensions will cost the state and counties $3,050.000 more than the state anu coun-| ty are paying now, while the state I will save $150,000 in the administration of the blind pension law. , While the maximum provided ’ under the federal law is S3O per i ' month, it will be noted that the I average payment as set by the 1 1 ! committee is S2O per month While ' the federal law reuires uniform ! : payments based on uniform relief. < A pension of sls per month, for in i ■ stance, in Brown or Martin coun- . ties, is considered by the commit- | tee as uniform with S3O per month 1 in Lake or Marion counties, based | 1 on the cost of living. Hence the average fixed at s2o' per month. Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ — « 1. Andes. 2. American lawyer aud statesman 3.
