Don’t double or tripple park. | That's dangerous practice at any time and more than usually so just now when the traffic is heavy diie to Christmas activities. Santa Claus is here today to look the boys and girls over so he don’t overlook any deserving ones Christmas eve when he returns with his big load of toys and gifts. Better be good, children. Hurry with that contribution for the Good Fellows club you have inteded to make but have just put off doing. This is the week we need the money to make the poor boys and girls really believe in Santa. Take a glimpse at the week-end automobile accidents and resolve, again to be more careful than ever. 1 The season is here when the highways are treacherous and you take 1 considerable chances when you try to see how fast the car will travel. Ground was broken today for the recreation hall to be erected at the General Electric grounds. It will be 45x120 and will include an auultorium, basketball floor, bowlings alleys, shuffle boards and other amusements. It will be a splendid addition to a great enterprise. J The gift of seventy-four acres! of land to the city of Fort Wayne by Mr. and Mrs. Dale W. McMillen, J to be used as a park, is a Christ-i mas present that is appreciated now and will be by thousands and thousands who will find pleasure and recreation there in the years to come. Mr. Townsend is Democratic in his ideas and announces that he expects to be governor but not the . legislature or any other depart tnent of the government. He will make every effort to be helpful but expects each body to carry its own responsibility which after all is the idea of most citizens. He will make good. Colonel Reppert who has just returned from another trip to the Pacific coast says that he scarcely visits a city or a state that he doesn’t hear favorable mention of his home town and he is very proud of it. During the past year Decatur has been in the news frequently and beyond quesKon, that's a fine thing for any community. Johnny Hamilton, Republican national chairman, got a good job out of his proposed resignation which he probably had in mind all the time. He is to receive $25,000 as salary, which is the peak for that kind of a job but its worth it if he succeeds in collecting the million dollar deficit, which is to be his first and ouly job for the next year or so. Hon. T. A. Gottschalk of this county will be president pro tern of the Indiana senate, his selection

i having been made at the caucus held at French Lick over the week end. That he will take care of the responsibilities of that important , job is well known by those Who have watched his progress. No * man in Indiana ia better qualified t i for the place and he will assist . 5 Governor Townsend and Lieutent ant-Governor Schricker In many ways in conducting the affairs of 2 the upper body of the legislature l in the manner best for all the peo- ? pie of Indiana. > —— f > The retail distribution of all pro- | ducts in the United States this year will total about forty billion | dollars this year, coming close to the figures of 1929, an almost unbelievable improvement and especI tally when we consider it has been an election year which usually | causes a let down. That the future , is bright there is no question, but there should be a unanimity of ! effort as between employer and . employee. Disagreements and unreasonable attitudes on either side may prevent 1937 being one of the 1 greatest commercial years in all time. There are rumblings among the automobile workmen and agi-1 j tatious in other lines that do not j sound so encouraging, but we be-: lieve the experiences of the past few years have taught the leaders • on both sides that the right way to handle such matters is the only way and that we will come through with flying colors. The trouble with so many people is they fail to understand that j old meanings sometimes lose their flavor. Two and two will always make four, but the very act which is thrifty and intelligent in one era may be foolish and wasteful in another. The man who converted his holdings ifito cash in the days before the depression was exceed- | ingly wise, but he was not so wise j if he kept his cash during the last three years when he could have ; invested with great profits assur-, 1 ed. We are in an inflationary era. . Prices are going higher, much higher over the next several years.! The rise has started and that is j one reason the stock market keeps going higher. The ideas that fit a depression do not serve during | tnflation. You have better find out which kind of ideas you are using. l If you are still dealing in depression meanings, you ought to change; your psychology. —■ Gary PostTribune. o ! » : — « Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two j V • 1.

SEN. NORBECK DIES SUNDAY Veteran Republiean Sen* ■ ator From South Dakota Is Dead Redfield. S. D„ Dec. 2!, <U.R>— Sen. Peter Norbeck, 68, Republican member of the U. 8. senate for 18 1 years, will be buried Wednesday. 1 Norbeck died yesterday from a heart attack induced by epithel- j ioma. a cancerous condition. Ttis condition had been precarious for nine months. Norbeck was governor from 1916 | to 1920, when he went to the sen-' ate. Outspoken and independent, i he persistently Ignored party lines . on pet issues and called himself a | "Theodore Roosevelt Republican.” I His disagreement with party j leaders ended in alignment with a group of insurgent Republicans in- 1 eluding Frazier and Nye of North I Dakota. Norris of Nebraska, and | LaFollette of Wisconsin. His fav-j ored subject was agriculture and he supported the AAA enthusiastically. Norbeck survived the Democratic landslide of 1932, after refusing to recognize party line in the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover administrations. He supported President Roosevelt for re-election. Norbeck’s term does not expire j until 1938. Political friends debated the possibility that Democratic Governor Tom Berry might resign l>efore his tern expires Jan. 5 to be named to carry out Norbeck’s unexpired term.

I “In each of those particulars. ; appellees urged that congress abdicated Its essential functions and delegated them to the executive.” The court said it was not necessary to rule whether the resolution would be valid if ft had related solely to Internal affairs. It said the question was whether the resolution could be sustained as lawful because it dealt with foreign affairs “assuming (but not deciding) thaj the challenged delegation, if it were confined to internal affairs, would be invalid.” "It will contribute,” the opinion said, “to the elucidation of the question if we first consider the differences between the powers of the federal government in respect of foreign or external affairs and those in respect of domestic or internal affairs. “That there are differences between them, and that these differences are fundamental, may not | be doubted.’’ o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur N.
