Get your resolutions out. With Christmas over it's time to think more about having “peace on earth” the year around. It's a spirit that we need more of everywhere. The youngsters favor Christmas coining not less than once a month but the moms and dads perhaps prefer it to continue in the old fashioned order. The New Year will mean more to those who plan a program and try to carry it through than it will to those who just slip along in a hit and miss manner. Don’t think the winter is over. We still have January and February to contend with and then comes March and often times that’s not any cinch for sunshine. Only a few more days to secure that 1937 license for your car and the orders are that there be no extension of time. State police will see that the regulation is rigidly enforced. Every boy and girl and every poor family which received a visit from the Good Fellow club or from any other agency of good will over the Christmas period, thanks you sincerely for your assistance. The depression is becoming a memory and there are even those who can laugh about their bad luck and ups and downs, mostly latter during that trying period. We are headed now for a long era of good times if every one will be sensible. We just can’t help feeling that there are safer means of travel at this time of the year than by plane. The several serious accidents of the past week make us think seriously of this rapid and pleasant means of conveyance when the wind and the weather is just right. Nearly three thousand divorces were granted in Reno, Nevada this year, a record that no city should be proud 01. They come from almost every country in the world and from 47 of the 48 states of the Union. That's a bum traffic upon which to build the fortunes of any city. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If yon 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.

| Former Senator Fess of Ohio, i long an active figure in Republican politics and one of the most I vigorous critics of the Roosevelt administration died suddenly in Washington where he had gone to 1 visit a son. He took an active part t in the fight against the liquoi- . traffic and four years ago was 1 prominently mentioned as a candidate for the presidency. > I We agree with Secretary Hall 1 that "war is not an act of God” ( but rather the outcome of the selfi ishness of cruel rulers and leaders. 1 There never was a war of aggression that was worth the cost and never will be. Except for defense, there is no need for armament. We sincerely hope that North and South America will form an alliance of good will that will go the limit to avoid war. A strike among the automobile workers would prove more serious than the railroad strikes of the old days for about sixty percentl of all the business done in the Un- , ited States is dependent on the business of making and selling of | cars. Os course it that industry. closes down for any extended per-, iod, we will lose much of the impetus gained the past few months. Let's hope and pray for wiser action. It looks like Indianapolis will 1 establish a new record of 160 kin-, ed during the year. So far, the number of fatalities in that city J are 157 and with nearly a week to i go they will have to cut the average if they don't go over the 160 mark. Though special attention has been given to traffic regulations and hundreds of arrests have been i made, the accidents continue at an ' alarming rate. Radical steps will j have to be taken apparently to stop the vehicle death epidemic. WE LEARN FROM DICTATORS The world is learning from the dictators. It is discovering that by their very nature dictatorships’ must be a disturbing force. Quite I apart from the good or evil they work in their own countries, the international system is too sensitive, too closely integrated, to stand the shattering shocks of dictatorial methods. Dictators are too powerful, their tread is too heavy their voices are too thunderous, their manners are too masterful, for this tremulous and aging planet we inhabit. The earth has no room tor giants any more. We are learning that even the virtues of dictators are too much for us. The internal order they enforce, for instance, only magnifies their capacity to provoke external disorder. Their decisiveness turns their every act into an ultimatum. Whatever they do, they do with an effect of violence. Whenever they I move, they move suddenly and swiftly, in the manner of a supreme command springing surprises in war. The diplomacy they practice is not high-hat, not shirt sleeve, not even the iron hand in the velvet glove. It is the diplomacy of the mailed fist, of naked force. The dictators, in short, teach us - to chalk up one more advantage for democratic government. In the horse-and-buggy age they might have functioned without upsetting the universe. In tlie radio era they crowd up on one another. They fill the air with noise and threat and turmoil. The world has become too small for rulers with limitless and unquestioned powers. 1 If only to curb and slow down the 1 drive of nations to the speed limit where international traffic is Sossiblf. we need the creaking brakes of democracy.—The NewYork Times. — —o Old Biscuits Cherished Watsonville, Cal. —(UP)—Charties Husbeck claims highest honors for the nation-wide contest of who possesses the oldest piece of bread. His collection includes a Delaware biscuit purchased at Middletown, Delaware, in 1878 by his father; a sea biscuit brought across the fethmas of Panama in 1878 also by his father, and a Maryland cracker also brought west by his father in 1878. 0 jTrade In a Good Town — Decatur
