Proof that business and general j conditions are improving is shown I in tlie production at the city plant. Kilowatt production ran up to 31,300 over a 24-hour period, an all time record in the history of the plant. The advertising and billboards for the Centennial will carry the slogan, "Achievements of a Century." The celebration will commemorate the progress in this community during the last one hundred years and the slogan is most appropriate. —— Vote next Tuesday. Your ballot has been printed and you have to help pay the cost of the election whether you vote or not. The candidates will appreciate your help and you should demonstrate your interest in government by expressing your choice through the med ium of the ballot. State Fire Marshall Clem Smith who visited here last week writes that Decatur has a lire engine house, second to none in the state. Chief Smith complimented the city on its beautiful building and its efficient fire fighting department, which makes all of us feel that we have many good things in a good town. The police siren is for summoning officers when their services are required and the privilege of sounding it should not be abused. When there is a real need for the police, ask the chief operator at the telephone exchange to sound the siren, but please don't call them when a few steps down the street will otherwise complete the appointment. Cooperating with the Woman's Club and the general spirit in Decatur, flower beds of petunias will he planted on the grounds at the City Light and Power plant. The council committees and department heads of the city utility are cooperating whole heartedly in the

suggestion to plant petuni** as the n Centennial flower and to beautify the yards during the summer. The Centennial Good Will bond sale is over the top, reaching a toit tai of $7,013.25. More contributions are expected and others will be t made within the next few weeks. ■. It is a great showing and proof that 1 the community is desirtous of celebrating the city's birthday in an 2 impressive and appropriate mantier. The sale is one of the outfl j standing community demoustraJ tious, tor which Decatur is noted. ) Indiana has a right to feel proud of its present state administration. The state ranks among the beat in the country. National recognition has been given to its tax program; the highway department; excellent condition of benevolent, penal and charitable institutions; state ' schools and universities. A pro-I grtssive program has been carried out and the state does not owe a , dollar. Indiana is tops when you size up state records and achievements. A new store building or two on Monroe street would improve the I looks of the street and extend the j shopping district. Many active aud leading business concerns are located aloug this street. There are a few vacant lots also, which would make ideal sites for new buildings. If we all work together to build a better town, everyone benefits. New wealth is added to the tax duplicate, real estate values increase, "dead" property becomes a ' good investment and income is created for the owners. Let s build ■ new store buildings and houses on I vacant lots and remove those i which have seen their day. "The future is more in the hands '; of our great leader, Franklin D. 1 Roosevelt, than in any political or- ' ganization," said Senator George I W. Norris, veteran Republican liberal of Nebraska, in a statement he issued to the press endorsing the "First Voters" movement. The student of present-day conditions | is irresistably led to the conclusion that, more than any other one ’ man, Roosevelt stands out as an ideal statetsman, able and competent to solve the difficult problems of State which now confront our leaders. The rank and file of our citizenship, thinking more of the prosperity of the home aud fireside, recognize in him a leader who can and will bring order out of chaos. o —- - fTWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY !

SNOUFFER Chairman Indiana Industrial Board “Undelayed Justice" and “prompt, economical service" might be regarded the slogans of the Indiana industrial Board since Governor Paul V. McNutt, early in 1933. appointed Ira M. Snouffer, of Fort Wayue, chairman of that board. In every department of this board's activities work has been quietly and efficiently speeded up. Four members form the board and in the fiscal year of 1935 they handl- j ed 2,734 scheduled industrial accident cases on which $2,373,173 of workmen's compensation was ordered paid. Where formerly workmen s compensation cases laid on the industrial board's docket for two and three months before being heard, ' they are now classified and arrang | ed so that hearings seldom are I scheduled past the third week al- j ter tiling. The board's bureau of factory inspection has likewise increased its volume of inspections ' and effectively has caused him-1 dreds of safety reforms for the benefit of industrial workers to be j made. Last year. 1,747 factory in-' spections were made by a staff of' six men and more than 4,300 recommendations for improvement of safety and health conditions were made. The boiler inspection bureau has the work of making regular inspections of 15.585 stationary boilers in use in the state. The woi men's and children's bureau also * has increased inspections made for the purpose of seeing that state compulsory school laws are enforced and that the health and sanitary conditions in factories employing women are the best. Chairman Smouffer it> proud of the record made by his department of state government and particularly so because of the fact that it was operated in 1933 aud 1934 at savings of more than $14,400 a year to taxpayers. The department sponsored a law in the 1935 General Assembly which set up the Workmen's Compensation rating bureau, through which benefits of the compensation law have been extended to a large class of workers not formerly protected. In 1933 the compensation law was amended to grant double compensation for the injuries received by youths between 16 and 18 years of

Ind.. Apr. 29. —(U.R) — After a swift series of strategic legal maneuvers. Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs early today defeated efforts of the city council to override | his veto of an ordinance curbing | his power of dismissal of city etaI ployes.
