We hope you haven't lost out on the count of days in which to do ( your Christmas shopping—only 14 1 left. If business is good you can i make it better by using advertising space in the home paper. It's the livest and best salesman. The ideal weather Is a boon for shoppers and they are taking advantage of it. The stores are busy and Christmas shopping is the heaviest in years. Those who received checks knowj the advantage of having a Christmas Savings fund. A few dollars saved each week for the next year will go a long way next Christmas. The churches are planning spec-, ial services for Christmas. It is the greatest feast day of the year and it is proper that we all join in celebrating the birth of the Christ child. Come up town at night and do your window shopping. The store windows are tilled with Christmas merchandise and you'll enjoy a walk through the brightly colored and lighted shopping district. Newcastle boasts of being the safest city in Indiana, there being no deaths from auto accidents within the corporate limits for a year ending December 1. What other town, the size of the Henry county seat can match the record? The publishers of the DailyDemocrat appreciate the many renewals to the paper. Although the annual subscription campaign does not open until the first of the year, more than the usual number have already subscribed for 1937. It is gratifying and we assure you that we appreciate it. Something other than the King Edward-Wally romance took first page position yesterday, it being the terrible disaster which struck the Philippines. At least 50 small towns were swept away and thousands drowned when the CagAyan river flooded the low lands. Early reports state it was one of the worst catastrophes that ever befell the islands. They're still adding up the votes and totals to date show that 45,-1 542,436 were cast in the November

! election for the presidential can-' didates. President Roosevelt has an all time high, receiving 27,668,-1 77S to Landon's 16,659,252 or more than 62 percent of the total. That’s ■ one that will be hard to equal in any election. There are still 1,218 , precincts yet to make an official report. If the city is able to buy a street r sprinkler, it will not only be able to keep the streets clean in the summer and fall, but will be able j to do much in removing the slush in winter time. Several cities ! have successfully used the sprink- 1 lers in spraying a brine over the . ice, melting it away, much to the ; I appreciation of pedestrians. The same plan could be carried out , i here. lu this so-called modern day it’s i hard to believe that a mother and | her children could be burned to death in a house fire, but such was i the fate ot' Mrs. Lehman and her children. Their cottage near Can-1 nelton, Indiana, caught fire and be-1 fore help could be rushed to them the mother, and one child perished in the flames. Three other' members of the family were severe- 1 ly burned. , Regardless of the outcome of the contemplated marriage of King ' Edward there will be many chang- I es in England during the next few years. Premier Baldwin will more than likely be replaced with a more progressive type personage and the king will demonstrate a great!er influence among the people, i History is in the making and 20 years from now when the grandchildren ask about the rumpus we can sit back and tell them all I about it, providing they ask. George Ball ot the famous Ball family, Muncie, proved his shrewdness and good business judgment again when he bought the holdings ,of the Van Sweringen Brothers. : Stocks listed on the New York exchange now have a value of more than 13 million dollars, for which he put up a little more than 3 tnilI lion. He testified before the senate committee and did not seepi , a. bit fussed over the extent of his i vast holdings. Through his new ’ holdings he becomes one of the leading finauciers in the country. — — In this season of Memories,; i you can 1 join—Send vour Photograph — Edwards Studio.

I netid shared the platform with Governor James V. Allred of Texas and John C. B. Ebringhaus of II North Carolina. Townsend praised the accomplishments of Governor McNutt | during the last four years and I said: 'i “Whenever the nation calls, he will be ready. The people need great wise leaders. They need the capacity for service. They need ; men who understand. J “It is not by accident that the I name of Paul V. McNutt comes to J mind when need arises for exceptional public service. ,1 “It means that ne has met the ( test. It means that whenever the state called he answered.” Governor Allred reviewed Governor McNutt's administration and called attention to the "availability of McNutt for the nomination. "Where he will go from here will not depend upon his own desires. The people of this country will avail themselves of his sur-

passing talents, his high ideals, his ’ boundless energy- his radiant personality.” 1 Senator Sherman Minton epltom- ; ixed the sense of the meeting by telling the governor "aa we bid you , goodby at the statehouse we bid you God-speed towar dthe white- ’ house.” Acting toastinaster Frank McHale, Indiana and Logansport attorney declared that Governor McNutt "is no longer a leader in his native state but has become a national figure as well.” He predicted the retiring governor will be asked I to "assume greater leadership.” LIONS CLUB IS (CONTINUED FROM FACIE ONE) talk at the close of the musical program. The club had as their guests for the evening the Rev. and Mrs. H. [ R. Carson, of this city and Mr. and | Mrs. George Bormuth and Mr. and j Mrs. Ulmer Dryer, all ot Fort
