Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. It's Centennial Week and we are off to a flying start for the biggest gala week ever held in the middle ■west. It was a perfect summer day, hot with a tine breeze, and the big crowd certainly enjoyed being here. Decatur is decorated and lit up in city style for the Centennial and with her best dress on is enjoying the program every minute. Get a big smile on and keep it there all week. Remember this occasion comes but once in a hundred years and we may not be here for the next one. The work of erecting stands for the various events of the week began at midnight and is about completed. Every foot of space is taken and the crowds are “rarin’" to get busy. The home comers are about the happiest lot we have met up with in a long time. They have been looking forward to returning home for a long time and they enjoy meeting the folks they used to know. Never before and perhaps never again will Decatur have the proud privilege of entertaining so many church dignataries and leaders as they did yesterday. Great preachers, song leaders and choirs made it a never to be forgotten occasion. We can't help but wonder why since every one stjems so prosperous and happy they can help but give President Roosevelt credit for the wonderful progress he has made in taking us out of the depression. We believe they will on election day. As many people remained tinder the trees yesterday as ventured out in the hot sun where they could see and perhaps hear a little better, but they all enjoyed it and we are proud of the fact that it was the greatest religious celebration and the most unique opening of a community event ever held in the middle west. We have talked to hundreds of old home folks, back for the Centennial and they arc all boosters for Decatur and Adams County. The country looks greener and, CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old ary! new address when ordering paper changed from one address io another.

more prosperous than In most any v other part of the country mid the city is alive and progressive. There will be a k<t of hand shak Ing mid renewing of old friend ships and its sure to be a great I week. — More people attended church in Decatur yesterday than ever in ■ history. All day long, from ten o'clock in the morning until six > last evening Niblick held was pack 1 ed with thousands and what a pro- 1 gram? Every song was inspiring, every sermon a masterpiece, every feature worth coming miles to hear and see. Thousands heard it over the radio and it was a titting opening of the great event- Decatur's Centennial celebration. OUR BIG OCCASION: For several years we have been looking forward to this week and for months many of our citizens have been giving all of their time to the details of arranging for Centennial week. And now its here in all its glory. The starting yesterday — unique and titting — when religious services. opening with a military field mass by the Catholics at to a. tn., with Bishop Noll delivering a powerful sermon, followed at 2:30 p. m. by the Lutheran meeting with Rev. (). A. Gelsinan, of Oak Park. Illinois, as the speaker, and at four o'clock by a Union service of the other Protestant churches, a song service led by the famous Homer j Rodeheaver of Chicago and a convincing and unusual sermon by Rev. James McGinlay of the Central Baptist church of London. , Ontario. Canada, was a most auspicious one. Thousands remained at Niblick field throughout the day while other thousands came and nt as Hi— program attracted < them. Last evening the pageant, “A Century Marches By " was produced for the first time and words fail to express its thrills. The ' crowd sat spell bound as incident after incident was brought before them to recall the days that have I gone by. We have much to be thankful i for here and much to celebrate. ■ ! Nowhere in all the world has there ' been a sounder or better growth ! and we stand now, at the brink of 1 our second century, well prepared to go forward rapidly. A line people. with honest, faithful, splendid | leaders, we can and will continue ' to be a great community. We were told yesterday many ; times, that only by a return to the t church and what it stands for can 1 we expect to continue our progress, and that is true. Greater respect for God, greater sincerity in our church work, more attention to the Golden , Rule, will solve all our problems and make it possible in a hundred years from now for those who then celebrate, to remember us as we do our forefathers. Centennial week is here. We want you to have a good time. The stage is set. the hand of hospitality is out.

QAsk Improvement For Mile Os Road Several citizens from sbuth Union township and north St. | Mary's are advocating improve-, ment of a mile of mud road which I starts at the Ohio state line and runs one mile west to the E. S. Moses corner. While no one resides on the mile, it is used extensively for traffic and is espec-l ially needed during the beet campaign as it taps a rich territory for the sugar beet factory. Many years ago a petition was tiled to improve this stretch of road but it was lost in the shuffle as there were many demands at that time. Then came the improvement of the Van Wert road, just north and this lonely mile has been left unimproved, probably bei cause there was no greater demand ■ Iron: residents.
