If the new dasher signals at the Pennsylvania railroad crossings south and north of Decatur don't stop the motorists, the big engine will. Colonel Knox seems to be spokes- J man for the Republican presidential candidate. His speeches do ring with a lively tone compared to Landon's and he no doubt wonders why he wasn't nominated for first place. "Decatur owes much to the Indus-j tries already here. They are expanding at the rate greater than if a new factory were located. We should have a planning or industrial committee to work with the industries in matters of importance to them and bring about the expansion which they have planned itt the development of their factor- 1 ies. The little band of 16 Russians who plotted 'lie death of Dictator Stalin traveled the sure path to death. With one of the greatest secret service agencies in the world and an army that is still loyal to those in power, it seems futile to try to unseat them. Those in control of the Soviet Union gained their hold through revolution and no doubt will be shoved aside in the same manner. Fort Wayne has had its semiannual dollar day, which drew thousands of shoppers to the city. The suggestion was made to us by a live-wire resident that Decatur put on a sale of the century or a bargain event which comes once only in a hundred years. Interested in promoting the local market and anxious to help whenever possible, we pass the suggestion on for what it is worth. We need more public spirit. We need men and women who, if financially able, are willing to contribute to -the good of the community. Evryone knows the pleasure which conies from giving and a fund established for the public welfare, will bring joy to hundreds. Have you ever thought of leaving a memorial to the town that was good to you, a place you loved and wanted to see blossom out in many ways’ CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are 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.

When you stop to thluk that IS months ago powerful Interests and many selfish individuals were predicting that tho national debt would bankrupt the country, you laugh when it's realised that America is richer today than before ' the debt started to pile up. The debt will be paid and the credit of the country is not going to be ruined. U. S. government bonds are Belling at a premium aud at a low rate of interest. It's poor politics to instill the fear complex in campaign years. We all know that this country is going ahead and that its degree of achievement is largely up to the : people. The country isn't going to the dogs and don't let anybouy ‘ tell you that it is. Progress has been made since 1776 and more headway will be made in the next 160 years. America is a great nation because its people are still pioneers and live to see their dreams come true. Several matters pertaining to j cooperation with industry and! future expansion of factories, which naturally will mean the em-■ ployment of more men and women are being presented. It seems that Decatur should have a planning committee or a paid, full-time, energetic and able secretary of the I ' Chamber of Commerce to put the I ends together and carry out a pro-1 1 gram. There is much to be done in the next feW years. Decatur is i going to grow and we should all help. Efficient and well planned community building programs will I accomplish something and in the, end result in benefit to everybody.' Why not organize such a commit- ’ tee from the Chamber of Com-1 mcrce and get things going in a' spirited way. ► « STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVI NE 1 For persona who ueileve that hu-< i man dc-stniy fs guided by the plauet, tlie daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Y„ Aug. 17. | Editor of the Dembcrat: ' A few weeks ago 1 was listening to Major Bowes amateurs and he read a message from Decatur saying “they were celebrating their 100th Centennial and 20,000 people i were listening to his program." Last week 1 was very agreeably | and happily surprised to receive j a big roll of your papers telling ! me all about it. I took the Democrat for at least twenty-five years, till 1 did uot j know many people there auy more. It was a great pleasure to see the i old names and of the old fans of my time, aud I think this younger | generation are fine and taking good care of the old town. Excuse errors for I will be 801 years old the 6th of September and I not quite so steady as in those good old days of youth. But thirtythree years in Buffalo has uot changed my love for the old Hoosier state. 1 thank you so much for your kindness in sending me the paper. 1 am sending them on to my sister iu Springfield, Mo. I wish you all long life, happiness and success. Sincerely, Mina L. Nickey. STORY OF HOLDUP (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the evening progressed, unconfirmed rumors were spread that the bandits were shooting out headlights of approaching automobiles. The alleged victim stated that the bandits drove a black 1933 or 1934 V-8 Ford utomobile with a license plate beginning with 12. He said that one tire was down and that they were carrying no spare, but were riding on the rim. Among the flaws in the man's story was his statement that he had purchased two gallons of gasoline at Van Wert before he left for home. When he arrived in De-I catu.‘ he had less than a pint in his tank. There were no scratches on the car, although it was suppos- ’ ed to have been bumped by the bandit car while traveling at the rate of 65 miles’ an hour. Under repeated questioning for five horn's the man held to his story. He was taken by Sheriff DaTiSS Brown and armed deputies on repeated trips on the Van Wert road. The crime was alleged to have happened in front of a corn

Unable to explain these facts the man held to his story until 2:30 o'clock this morning when he admitted it was a hoax.
