The cold weather has "frosen many a smile," but we like the spirit of the fellow who said, "well, anyway we are not bothered with mosquitoes and flies." The thrills of life are small compared to the joyous happiness of children displayed in anticipation of birthday parties, the coming of Christmas and events in which they take a special interest. Congress has voted $50,000 to investigate the Townsend pension plan racket. Many things should !><• brought to light and those who are living from soft jobs and "expenses" will have an opportunity to explain. The men who are backing the pension plan can't be sincere. Attorney Leibowitz seems to have settled the fate of Bruno Hauptmann. The noted attorney, after being drawn into the c. s ■ at the request of Mrs. Ned McLean, has announced his retirement from the investigation and states he is convinced Hauptmann is guilty.

roivcß created a sensation a few 1 years ago when he attacked the | government's army policy. He | was a fighter in peace time as well as in war and his straight-1 from-the-shoulder taih was the cause of his retirement. It's not always best to muzzle a sincere man when he criticises or speaks for the betterment of conditions. Patrons of the City plant and • that includes about every person ■ in Decatur, appreciate the attitude • ! of the council and city officials in extending the time for paying light and power bills this month to Saturday. Penalty for letting the j bills go unpaid after the twentieth! of the month will not be charged | until after Saturday. The extension , was made this month because many patrons were unable to get to the city hall on account of the extreme cold weather. | Regardless of cynical critics the greatest of George Washington! lives on. The commander of the Revolutionary army, the first President of the new country, was a man of honor, a patriot and i< is well that his name is still revered. Washington truly knew his nsponsibiiity and realized the importance | of preserving the newly created j government. His unselfish atti-j tude in refusing a third term prob- ’ ably had more to do in holding• the freedom gained for the colon- !< s than any political step ever ■ taken in this country. Many contributions have been! made by individuals and organizations to the James Whitcomb! I Riley hospital for crippled chil dren. It is heartening to read that the facilities of this wonderful inIstitution. the administrations of I sympathetic doctors and cate of kind nurses were extended to_ 4,01!) children last year. Children j were admitted from all but two of I the 92 counties ill the state and! the artful hand of a surgeon en-j aided many to walk again. Indi-' ana can be proud of the institu lion and its work.
