March came in mildly and that should govern the month, according to the old rule. We are entitled to a nice spring after the worst winter on record. Candidates for office in the county and state may tile any time be- i ginning Friday of this week and it is expected the campaign will, really begin to warm up after that j day. That the Home Owner Corporation has hleped in this county -. i signified by the official report which shows • 107 of these loans ■ have been made with a total of , more than $237,000. Business will hum from now on as the condition improves and as it will as spring comes along i Everybody is anxious to get start ed on their program to make thia ! the best year ever. The young Democrats had a good | time in their state convention and j gave notice to the public that they are a force to be considered in the coming campaigns. With much! ability and with the enthusiasm of. youth they can and will accomplish much in the years to come. The only manner in which the average citizen can assist in th--of candidates for state ] office is by his support of those I candidates for delegate that voice his desires. Delegates will be I elected at the primary and you I should support those you feel favor your ideas. Everybody hopes that tin- special session of the Indiana legislature will be very brief, that the members will attend to the duty of complying with the federal government as regards the security act. appropriate the money for the expenses of the session and go back to their regular business at home. Loyal as you may be for your favorite basketball team, it may be well to remember at this tourney season of the year that it's the upsets that really cause the interest in the game. Like all sports weak teams suddenly show strength when the big test conies and strong teams pass their peak and showsurprising weakness. The central west escaped luckily from a terrible flood because the ice and snow went of! too gradually to prevent serious consequent's in most portions of the state. If rains had followed the results could have been as bad as that of 1913. Now with the rivets receding, we will soon be ready to take care of the spring showers unless they are heavier than average. - ouuie time political leaders an j glad when certain meu “walk out I

The ■ nice part about it too is that we , do not owe large sums as do those | states in which bonds have been I issued.

He has never been one to tepress his- opinions because of diplomatic considerations. When repeal legislation set the limit of 2.75 per cent for non-alcoholic-beverages, he termed it "mere bellywash”. He flayed the “red tape” „nd “buck passing” of army methods during a previous federal investigation in 1932.

SAFETY TO 8E TAU6HT PUPILS Course In Safety To Be Taught In Indiana Schools Lafayette. Ind . Mar. 2 Indiana, which ranks 44th in the death rate per 100,000 population from traffic accidents, Ims a chance to take front rank among all the states in the educational program to prevent accidents, with the teaching of safety in all high schools of the state. This was the statement today by Lieut. Franklin M. Kreml. safety specialist on the staff cf Purdue university, who is directing the preparation of a manual of 2o lessons for the use of Indiana high schools this spring. The man- ! mil of i>s pages, which was preparled at the request of the Indiana board of education, is expected to |go to the printer about March 1 i and be ready for distribution and I use in the high schools this spring. Lieut. Kreml lias had the cooperation of Miss T.Tcrion Teford. New York City, director of child education for the national safety council, and of J. S. Baker. Chicago. secretary of the committee I on the drivers of the same organI ization. besides his own staff of I assistants and a special committee ■ from the Purdue faculty, in prep- ' aration of the manual which has I been submitted to State SuperinI tendent Floyd McMurray and Donlaid Stiver, state director of safety, j for tinal suggestions before pubi lishing. The manual, which will I be profusely illustrated, has maI terial for 20 lessons on safety. "Since 1926. children in the five Ito 14 year-old group have shown a I net reduction in the death rate from traffic accidents, due largely I to the safety programs in the elei mentd'ry schools." explained Lieut. I Kreml. However, during the ■ same period, the death rate of the 15 to 19-year-old group has gone up 130 per cent. This death loss I is the black spot in the safety picture and the state board of education recognized this in asking that safety be taught to those just coming of driving age. Statistics show , that the d»ath rate in Indiana for 1935 was 36.2 per cent per 100.000 1 population, or a total of 1.196 peri sons. This was slightly better than the 1934 record when 1.227 lost their lives from traffic acci- ■ dents. Only four states have | shown worse records than Indiana, i They are Arizona. California, NeI vada and Wyoming." | Because of this position of the j state in the matter of traffic I deaths, the subject of highway ■ safety has been made one of the major projects of the safety insti-1 I title which was organized several years ago by the university for the training of firemen, policemen and . other officials in all forms Jof safety. Several conferences and ■ training schools along this line alI ready have been held by the en- ' gineering extension department of , the university, under whose auspices the entire program is handl-, ed. 0 CHURCH REVIVALS Eighth Street U. B. The Eighth Street United Brethren church will not hold revival this week because of illness in the pastor's home. Watch paper for announcements. Gospel Tabernacle The revival services at the tabernacle are growing in interest each night. The McSherry party has full charge of each service, with special music and old time preaching. Services each night at 7:30. Tne McSherry sisters will lead at the young people's service Sunday at 6:45 p. m. o THREE BILLS TO limit tiie session to as few days as possible and also to coniine it to security bills presages slight chance for any other legislation. Liquor laws revisions are supported by Calumet district legislators whose constituents demand Sunday sales and legalization of rural taverns. Several of the Lake county delegation are expected to offer such legislation as a gesture. Chief controversy of the session will center an old-age pension provisions of the welfare bill. The joint legislative committee, which wrafted the bill, provided that only persons over 70 years old will be eligible for i, itsi'.ns until July L. 1938. when the age limit drops to 65 yearsMany legislators want the 65-year limit advanced to 1937 and others suggest pla.ing it in effect immediately. Any changes from the present dalese and ages will necessitate passing revenue-raising measures oiqused by McNutt. Approximately $6,000,000 axidtliouai funds will ibe necessary U> •
