Few rehearsals are necessary and your taking part will require little of your time. Decatur isn t on a wooden money basis, but it's worth any man's nickel or dime to help boost the Centennial and obtain a souvenir of the birthday celebration. The wooden nickels, dimes and quarters are redeemable in C. S. currency, but if you want to keep them for a souvenir of the Centennial. luck away a few of the pieces. The death of Mrs. Catherine Christen removed a venerable and pioneer resident of this city. She lived here all her life, was a kind and good mother and loved by many. A survey has shown that most of the corn crop can be saved. That's good news for the country and we hope the weather the next few weeks will improve the chances of a good yield. The up town business houses will be decorated for Centennial week. The decorating company is making a nominal charge for this service and practically every merchant has signified his willingness to dress up the store front. Monroe street, between First and Third streets, will have its White 'Aay tonight. The new ornamental lights will be turned on this evening, improving file appearance of this important street and extending the up town shopping district. You are invited to the free band concert to be given this evening at 8:30 o’clock, following the Centennial broadcast in Fort Wayne. The American Legion City band will give a series of concerts during the summer and invite "The 1 public to hear the programs. I he heat wave is taking a great er toll of deaths than the automobile. Up until Wedcsday noon, more than 3,900 persons died from heat prostration, one of the greatest. tolls in history. The largest fatalities have been among the aged.

c- ’ ' —————— ingness to take part in the rehearsals for the pageant are asked to report when their group is scheduled to practice. The pageant cannot be produced unless individuals participate. Please cooperate with the director by reporting on time. About all the advice one has for this hot weather is to take it easy, stay out of the burning sun as much as possible, watch your diet and get as much sleep as you can. The doctors prescribe eating salt as a means of cooling off the body, which remedy no doubt can be i used to excess. Drinking too much water or other cold fluids upsets the stomach in hot weather. Joe Louis' sister denies she ever i uttered the statement that fighting Joe was doped before the Schmeling fight. We like her spunk. She and those who saw the fight, either in the ring or on the screen, agree that Joe was giv- 1 en a certain shot in about the second round which made him dopey until the count. Joe's trouble was in sticking out his chin a little too far. Tragedy struck Willshire, Ohio, 12 miles east of Decatur. Two j children were drowned in an old stone quarry Tuesday night. It’s regrettable that such tragedies befall a community, it's not unnatural however that children and older folks wish to swim during hot weather. Every community should provide a swimming pool or two, properly supervised and the danger of step-offs eliminated. A marker on the grave of Thomas Archbold, only Revolutionary War veteran buried in Adams county, will be dedicated Sunday. Mr. Archbold is buried, in the Reynolds cemetery, north of Decatur. The emblem is furnished by the United States government and it is a fitting gesture that the cbmmunity remembers one of the brave flock who fought to establish this country back in 1776. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph Kroll of Fort Wayne, whose death Tuesday, was not only a noted churchman, but a # leader in all walks of life. For 38 years he was pastor of St. Paul’s Catholic church and In addition to his pastoral duties, contributed much of his time aud abiUty to civic benevolent causes. He was a great gentleman
