iutive floats. Several Industries have already signified their inteu I tion to enter a float. It is planned to stage a parade similar to the magnificent spectacle given In Vail Wert, augmented with historical number, but void of commercialism and cheap advertising. Hi will be one of the big attractions of the week and can bo made worth while if we all cooperate. Department of Commerce statistics show that retail sales in Decatur are >89.13 higher per capita than the average in the state. Retail sales in this city for last year are estimated at $265.12 per person, figured on the 1930 census when Decatur was credited with 5,156 population. In a family of five the annual retail expenditure would total more than $1,200. The average is high and proof that Decatur is tops when it comes to earning power, employment and outlay for necessities of life. In another month local taxing units will be compiling and publishing budgets. It is important that we give careful attention to these tax affairs. The public demands and expects a lot in the way of improvements, governmental units must function and institutions, streets and roads maintained. The policy in this community has been to keep the rates as low as»possible and at the same time furnish sufficient funds to keep from going in the red. Judgment should be exercised in every case. As communities grow the demand becomes heavier on gov-, eminent. While the Democracy of Indiana is duly grateful for the splendid services rendered by Keith Johns as secretary of the Democratic state central committee, it is also pleased to note the appointment of Bick Heller of this city as his successor. Probably no young man in the state is better trained or qualified to give worthy service to the party than he. And naturally we do not say this because of our close friendship or business association with the gentleman. Neither, do we recognize him merely on the point that he hails from Decatur. Any young man having a record of service and accomplishments such as his is entitled to consideration and it pleases us to see a young man make good. Dick is well trained for the new political position. He | served the party in state headquarters in a couple campaigns, rendered fine public service as clerk of the house and secretary of the senate; has an enviable record as secretary to LieutenantGovernor Townsend and proved his ability as an organizer in the successful preconvention campaign for Mr. Townsend. He has made good in every post, is a militant Democrat and worker and will continue to deliver high grade service to his party and state. — o * * Adams County Memorial Hospital Francks "Pat" Costello, admitted last evening.
