Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Mayor Bangs is back in Jail and his council is figuring on passing the ouster ordinance. He takes a lot of punishment lor what little good is accomplished. Don't drive your car if you don't have a steady hand. The person who is half "crocked" with liquor will run into trouble and it's such a useless waste of time. Old July evidently is going to give us a taste of real summer weather. However it's the season for 90 above and like the zero spell last January and February, no one can do anything about it. The county commissioners have gone on record in favor of removing half the width of the sidewalks on Madison street, .between First and Third streets. It's a good idea and it the change could be made, additional parking space for many cars would be provided. The Centennial program ami a general welcome to old time friends, far and near, will be broadcast over WOWO beginning Thursday evening and continuing for four weeks. Special programs will be given each week and the good name of Decatur spread through the air. Thousands of Democrats from over the state will gather in Marion tomorrow to honor M. Clifford Townsend who will be formally notified of his nomination for governor. There will be a program in the city park during the afternoon and entertainment in the evening.

Rehearsals for the great historical pageant to be given on the first three days of the Centennial have started. A cast of nearly 700 people is taking part in the presentation of this feature of the program and it is without doubt one of the greatest outdoor shows ever staged here. Gerald Novak is the director in charge and rehearsals of the different groups will continue up to the night ol the first presentation on Sunday, August 2. John W. Wheeler, member of the slate highway commission, made a point in his radio talk the other 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 from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

day when speaking about Hie g*»o-; p line tux. Mr. Wheeler stated that many motorists paid four dollars a month rent for a garage to stand ). their car in and objected to paying t 138.05 the average per year, for auto license and gasoline tax which make It possible to build roads to 1 ride on. An automobile without! t good roads would be like owning a yatch in Decatur. y Decatur is not only going to eu--0 tertain thousands and thousands of 5 visitors on Sunday of Centennial 5 week, but it is also figuring on 0 feeding them. In addition to the ® restaurants, hotels and eating houses, lodges, clubs and church societies are planning to provide meals to the crowd. Guests must be considered aud in view of the vast throng expected here on the opening day, it behooves us to provide food for them. The stands '• along the midway will not be erected until Monday. ’ Advertise for more business—to 1 do more business — make sales. ’ There seems to be a lull in local 1 retail circles. We seem to lack ■ the drive and pep it seems. Monday and Tuesday of this week the ; amount of local advertising car-] t lied in the home paper was negi ligble. We believe a newspaper • can contribute to the activity in I retail trading circles and with purchasing power higher in Decatur than in many towns in the state. ’ it seems to be a good opportunity to go after more business. Let us 1 help you. I THE STATE PARKS: Scores of vacationists are discovering that Indiana's state parks ' are ideal outing places for the entire family.
