The week-end holiday resulted in 254 deaths, mostly caused by auto accidents and drownings. Tlie number killed from fireworks was small. Only seven states es- < a pled fatalities and tragedies. Audrey Vallette, born of good family and reputation preferred taking the primrose patli and like ■ similar cases met an untimely death, dipped in scandal. We doubt if she enjoyed the kind of life she lived. Decatur is grateful that no child was burned or severely injured from firecrackers over the Fourth. The holiday brings worry to parents and everyone enjoyed the quiet and peace of lite Sabboth that followed. Only a month until Centennial week. Great progress is being made in the clean-up and remodel ing campaign and with a little effort the next few weeks the town will appear in Sunday dress for the thousands of visitors and homecomers. Now here’s a fellow that’s alright and no doubt a happy go-lucky individual. John B. Claybourn celebrated his 70th birthday the other day and told his friends that he hoped the next 70 years of his married life “will be just as happy as the first 7u have been.” Health and happiness to the couple, who live in Albert Lea, Minn. The weeds along railroad right <>l ways and on Vacant lots must be cut by July 15, or the work will be done by lite city street department; and the costs charged against the properties. Weeds endanger the health of citizens and the city health board has given notice that property owners shall cut them by the middle of the month. Get the work done yourself or the city will do it and charge you for it. Railroad passenger traffic is climbing and it is estimated that Hie 1936 passenger load will be I two thirds as large as that of 1926, j when 862 million fares were paid, litis years traffic is heavier than any in the past ten years. Tim) CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers arc 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 front route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

reduced two-cent rate has some-, p thing to do with the pick-up In business, but likewise people are* traveling more aud seeing the j country. The good old times arc coming. It H—— ■ Dozens of houses uro being re lt modeled in the city and plana are r. underway to construct a half doxon new ouch. Life centers around the home and there is no better -way to spend funds than in the rey modeling or building of a home. 6 Every homo owner has something # to live for and the best commun jj ities are those which have the 9 most home owners. Decatur is proud of Its homes and the present building campaign is evidence that we are growing and know where ' to obtain the most for our money. If Huntington wants a light and power plant it should proceed tin- ’ der the existing law and build or buy one. The law permits municipalities to acquire public utilities . and the orderly and business-like , way is to proceed under the prof visions of the statutes. The court’s’ decision in the case found Mayor Hangs guilty of contempt. Damages were also awarded the plaintiff and the court ruled that if the I officials continued to operate the . electric plant after Monday they would have to go to jail. It appears from the sidelines that the . court’s recent decision should settle the matter and that if Hunting- . ton wants a city plant that its next step should comply with the Indi- ■ ana law. An inspiring service was held 1 Sunday at the First Methodist; church when the document box was replaced in the corner stone. Tho pastor. Rev. H. R. Carson officiated and tribute was paid to those who formed the nudes of the present congregation and to the early members, several of i e whom are still living. Sons of the men who sealed the original box and placed the corner stone 55 years ago were honored at the service, it being their privilege to place the box back in the stone. The progress of Decatur can be traced right along with its churches and it is fitting that the com *' a inunity pauses in these days of rush to observe events and inci- s dents dating back to the organization and building of the houses of p worship. The Methodist congregation was one of the first to be organized here and its history is closely woven with the founding, and building of Decatur. We wish the congregation continued success, spiritually and materially. 0 r — I STAR SIGNALS | -BYOCTAVINE 1 1,-’or persons who believe that human ilvslniy is guided by the planet, the daily baroscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

As another army of young women graduates prepare to storm the citadels of commerce, the question arises as to how their older sisters are faring in the world of business. Recent census survey shows that 10,500,000 women are “gainfully employed”, nearly one-third the total number of men working. . Os this number, about 2,000,000 are clarified as clerks, accountants, cashiers or typists. Another 706,000 are employed as saleswomen. This figure serves to indicate the progress of women in

business in the past 70 years. But it is still true that in certain lines they are handicapped by old prejudices and discrimination. Few women are able to rise above the $5,000-a-year class. When they are in line for positions of such responsibility that a salary in the higher brackets is merited, a man is often chosen. But the old order is changing and the graduate of 1036 may well doff her bonnet to her sister of yesteryear for blazing the trail!
