Local friends of Ralph Yager are! happy to see hint honored as a' delegate from the fourth district to | the Republican national convention in Cleveland next week. Mr. Yager, will be one of the 1,002 delegates to cast a vote for his party’s presi-. dential nominee. Judge Raymond Springer of Connersville will again head the Republican state ticket, being nominated as the party's candidate for governor. Springer was the unsuccessful candidate four years ago against Governor McNutt. He was little known outside of his district and was defeated by a 250,000 majority. No community owes anything to the men who set gaming devices in stores, hotel and refreshment parlors. When these devices become gambling machines they ‘ should not be tolerated. No mat-1 ter what the good intentions of' public officials might be, it is the ' individual who harbors and plays the machines. His cooperation is needed in seeing that games of skill or entertainment do not become gambling devices. Cut down your speed. The state law fixes the speed limit in resident distilcta at 30 miles and in business districts at 20 miles per hour. Police are making a campaign to curb speeders and those who use the streets at night to see what their car will do. Decatur does not have a traffic court, so the general law would apply, which fixes the minimum penalty for violation at a dollar and costs, amounting in all to sll. It's safer and cheaper to obey the law. Nearly all the legal details r.ela-i tive to awarding final contracts I and starting work on the city power plant addition and installation of new machinery have been disposed of. The next step will be the ordering of the contractor to begin work. The money will be financed in part with a grant, up to $49,800 from the PWA and the balance paid by the electric department of the city plant. It will give Decatur one of the best equipped municipal utilities in the middle west. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old 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.

| The city swimming pool, one of i the finest means of healthful recreation offered by the city, will be opened Sunday. As in former years, the pool will be supervised by W. Guy Brown and the place ’ made as safe as possible. It is a great improvement over the old . swimming hole, infested and a lot , of times dangerous to bathers. Let ■ the children enjoy the pool. Swimming is one of the best exercises known and children who learn the art have something on those who cau’t glide through the water. Van Wert strutted its stuff today with a spectacular float parade and the crowning of the peony queen iu observance of its annual peony festival. The demonstration is one of the greatest community events staged iu this part of the country. Van Wert has a right to feel proud of its nationally known peony farms, beautiful flowers and homes add public institutions. The civic pride demonstrated there 1 does much to promote the general good of the community and leads to many successful undertakings. Decatur attended the festival in numbers and participated iu the j parade by having a beautiful float advertising the Centennial. Diplomas will be awarded to 27 I high school and 27 grade graduates at the annual commencement . exercises of Decatur Catholic higlf ' school Friday evening. This is the ' fourteenth annual commencement of the high school and this year's class is the largest graduated from the institution. The Reverend Curt Suelzer, an assistant at the Cathed ral, Fort Wayne, will deliver the address, followed by awarding of the diplomas by Father Seimetz. The occasion, like all other school commencements is an important event in the community. Young men and young women, completing their school work and studies are ready to assume their place in the business world and to begin a life 1 new in practice. It is our duty to .encourage them and help where- | ever possible. To the graduates Iwe extend heartiest good wishes, and congratulations on their sueI cessful completion of their studies. May life bring them happiness and attainment. o > STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
