( Work with a xest and gel pleas- 1 ure from your work. - ' | Over in Mexico a federal labor ; board ruled that a strike of rail- j road workers was illegal, thus saving the supreme court a job. The Indiana State Medical Asso- 1 elation is authority for the advice , that "What we need is fresh, clean t food and fruit, plenty of fresh air < and sleep, more outdoor exercise." , That prescription is not hard to < take.. < 1 The Guffey coal control act was j designed to improve conditions in i the field and protect the miner as ; to wages and employment. The ( outlawing of the measure may j mean more than the lowering of , coal prices, if the reductions are j passed unto the miner. i: Former President Hoovers announcement that he is not a can- , didate for the Republican presidential nomination may not eliminate him from thf race. Mr. Hoover states he is interested only in writing the platform. He may find he is the only man willing to run on it. This is commencement w eek, j Favored with ideal weather, the i spirits of the graduates should be ! high. They are facing the world I in one of the greatest periods in ! history. Life to them should be a great adventure and their training youthful enthusiasm and desire to accomplish should lead . < them to the heights. __________ With the completion of the new |. sidewalk and widening of Madison t street ou the north side of the ■ court house, the suggestion has been made that a modern drinking fountain be erected on the corner. The matter will Im- taken up with 1 the commissioners, the city offer- . ing free water and maintenance if the fountain is purchased. _ I Allen county has two Republican 1 chairmen and now- a movement is ( underway to elect two state chairmen. Ralph Gates and his sup- « porters have called a meeting for 1 Thursday and accoring to plans, it • is the intention of the group to elect a chairman, in defiance to Don B. Erwin, who used the steam roller and his own vote to win the office. It does appear that the ' eighth district Republicans have a CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give eld and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2. instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

i cause and the boys intend to scrap it out along those lines. A committee on parking and 'traffic, with Sheriff Brown, local and state police officers eooperatI ing. has been named for the CenItennial. It goes without saying that this committee has a real job. [To find parking space for thousands of automobiles is a task in 1 itself. But it must be done. De- ' catur will be host to visitors and we niti.-t work out some plan to park cars and control traffic during the big week. It is a civic problem and your suggestion may help solve the matter. If there is one thing which should be taught and "hammered" home it is not to destroy public property. The trouble does not alway come from boys. Many grown ups take the attitude that public property belongs to no one, so why worry about it. At Hanna-Nutt-man park, one of the furnaces was damaged by an impatient camper who tried to jam a log or two in the tire box. The furnace had to be rebuilt, entailing some expense and time, which could be avoided if we all observed property rights. We Believe in courts and the American system of the judicial body passing on legislation. However. we can disagree with the District of Columbia court of appeals decision as to the purpose of government in furthering better home conditions for the people. The court's ruling virtually holds that the national government has nothing to do with the housing problem or in seeing that home conditions are improved. We are inclined to think that the public believes government should be an aid to the people and what is more important to consider and develop: than home life. In time, courts i may decide likewise. o Sister Os Local Resident Is 11l Mrs. French Quinn of Decatur.
