Tile season may be late, but nature has away of correcting many troubles and we still have time to see knee high corn by the Fourth 1 of July. Another free parking lot is being constructed al the northeast j corner of First an d Jackson street?, under the supervision of the street department and dt the suggestion of the city council. The lot will be leveled off, drive-ways , made and made accessible to auto 1 owners at all times—free of charge. The city streets are being swept of cinders and sand placed at the intersections and crossings during the icy periods and of the winter’s i accumulation of dirt. It was a' hard old winter and spring ac.lv-1 ities will be doubly brisk as a result. Decatur prides itself in clean | streets and it is one civic endear-! or which should not be overlooked. The Indiana Municipal League proposes to introduce a bill in the special session of the legislature to repeal the 1939 act which places state and county tax on municipal plants. The question has be‘-:i debated from all sides. Several cities have not paid their 1934 tax and the case is in court. The Municipal League in convention last summer adopted resolutions favoring repeal of the law. The Decatur Commodores didn t win the Catholic tourney championship, but came home with a prize equally coveted and worth having. The team was awarded the King sportsmanship trophy. It certifies thtat the boys displayed the highest caliber of good sportsmanship of any team on the floor. Playing under stress and always with the aim of winning is a test for man or boy. To demonstrate that principles of goon sportsmanship come first is proof of the

highest typo of gentlemen. Decatur folks are proud ot the honor won by the Commodores. Ball players are giving their managers and club owners gray hairs with their demands for increased salaries this season. Ball playing is not a bad paying job. Most men earn more with a glove or bat than the fellow who owns u business, has money invested and devotes all his time to the job. A too insistent demand for high salaries might ruin the game and some of the boys would find it harder to match income in another line. Too much commercialization kills sports. ARE YOU REGISTERED: March marks the opening of the political calendar for 1936. The first day on which candidates may file their declarations and petitions with the required number of voters' names is March 6. Throughout the month, party workers and precinct committeemen and women will be busy checking the voters permanent registration lists. All persons who wish to cast a ballot in the primary election of May 5 must be properly registered. Those who were registered for the | 1934 election are eligible to vote if they have not changed their residence addresses and if their names have not been changed by i marriage, or otherwise. That a registered person did not vote in the 1934 election does not disquali- . fy hint providing his name and adI dress remains the same, the state I board of election commissioners has ruled. Persons who have moved from one precinct or part of the county to another may have their registrations transferred by the county j clerk. Party workers are asked to give particular attention to j those who will be first voters this ■ year, to those who are now resii dents in the precinct, to those who I have never registered and to women who have married. Registrations will Im? closed 29 days before the primary election. Voters whose employment or business might take them away from their precincts on primary day have the right under the 19 <5 absent voters law to apply not later than thirty days before the election to the county clerk for an absent voter s ballot. Candidates for congressional, state and county offices may fi*e their declarations accompanied by the names of petitioners suppotting them with the Secretary of State between March 6 and April 4. The number of signers with addresses required on the petition must be one-half of one per cent of the vote cast, for Secretary of State in the district or county, but not more than 400, nor less than ten. The declarations and petitions may be mailed or filed in per son with the Secretary of State. Declarations an d petitions for township offices require signers on the same mathematical basis applied to the last vote for trustee.

NEW HIGHWAY MAP ISSUED New Map Os Indiana Highways Issued By State Commission Indianapolis. Mar. 3. A new map of Indiana's state highway system designed for the information and guidance of the motorist —is being distributed by the state highway commission. James D. Adams, chairman, announced today. This is the first of two maps to be Issued by the highway commission in 1936, the second to be issued in last summer when a number of construction projects will have been completed. Printed in the same attractive and distinctive colors as the 1935 map, several new features have been added. One is the showing of highway sections now under I construction, euch as Road 52 northwest of Indianapolis, Road 67 between McCordsville and An- ' derson, and others. The new map also shows additions to the highway system during the year. U. S. highways crossTfig Indiana are shown in red, the state highways in black and the chief county highways in gray. Rivers and the large lakes are shown in blue with the same color used to locate the state parks, forests, game preserves. fish hatcheries and memorials. Blue is also used to locate colleges, universities, and major points of interest. Airports are shown by a whifc star in a red square. Accompanying the map is a legend showing the scales of miles, showing the method of distinguishing between various types of surface and determining the population of cities and towns. Mileage between cities and highway intersections is shown on the map. In addition to showing all slate highways in Indiana, the map shows these routes continued into adjoining states, a feature of considerable value to motorists. On the reverse side of the 1936 map. are pictured routes of the state highways through a number of the larger cities, including. Indianapolis, South Bend. Evansville, Fort Wayne, the Calumet region, the New Albany, Jeffersonville and Louisville area, Anderson. Huntington, Richmond. Michigan I City, Lafayette, Marion. Blooming ton, Vincennes.
