Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Indiana likes the smile and true Hoosier make up of its new governor. The Supreme Court has upheld another New Deal law, which gave the government the power to regulate the value of silver. Legislation passed by the last congress will eventually be recognized as the most constructive and progressive ever adopted in the history of the country. Young Senator Lodge from Massachusetts should be a popular fellow in Washington. He has the distinction of being one of the very few Republicans elected in the last election and in addition seems to have charm, personality and the ability to make an interesting talk. He might become as famous as his grandfather, although we hope not as vindicative and partisan. Some of the financial agencies are predicting that a boom in business will be enjoyed in 1937. They ascribe several reasons, among them being a wider circulation of money and larger purchasing power. There is no doubt that the year will be a busy one and now is the time to get ready for the prosperity which should come your way. That's what the country wants.

Aii extra effort will be exerted to make highway travel safer in Indiana. Laws may be passed and extra police can patrol the roads, but it takes the cooperation and safety consciousness of the individual driver to get results. Better roads are being constructed ant! additional safety devices have been placed on the automobiles and to use them right is up to the individual. As we drove by the beautiful and modern Delco battery and Chevrolet plants in Muncie we were struck with the thought that it was a shame that these Industries had to be closed on account ot labor difficulties. When strikes start, plants which formerly hummed with activity become idle and men gainfully employed worry where the next meal comes from. There should be some way to settle these differences. The community is glad to learn! that R. A. Drummond, one of its four living Civil War veterans is enjoying good health at the age of 95. Mr. Drummond has not lost, tract that a hobby of some sort of, employment, even at his age is a CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers arc request* ed 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.

‘ good thing and necessary to peace 'of mind. He puts in several hours each day in his work shop, comes Into the house ready for a good i nnal and sleeps like a baby. We ! wish him untold days of health aud happiness. Governor Townsend makes no claim to greatness and speaks in ' language which the average per--1 son understands. Being a devoted husband and father, he naturally thinks of home and voiced a heartening thought in his Inaugural speech when he said: "Very soon we must wipe out the hovels from our great cities and replace them with comfortable homes. In the future, life in the tenement will be unthinkable. A home for every family will be more than a dream. There will be comfortable homes, homes which are protected from disease as well as weather.”

One hundred and forty-nine men and one woman, of various ages and walks of life, compose the lawmaking body now sitting in Indianapolis. What they will do will affect the lives of virtually every citizen of the state, yet we venture that only a very small percentage will pay any attention, or take any interest, in the proceedings of the 80th General Assembly. People are like that. They take their legislatures and their public officials as a matter of course, forgetting that individual interest and a helpful suggestion will do much to l create better results in popular government. The assertion is made often that the government cannot operate a business without losing money. It may be true in some cases, but with the Reconstruction Corporation, headed by Jesse H. Jones, it is different. This is the biggest of all of Uncle Sam’s financial agencies, has loaned more than eight billion dollars to railroads, banks and industrial enterprises . and to other governmental relief agencies and will close its books without the loss of a dollar. As prosperity returned to the country, loans that were made during the low ebb of business, became more liquid and the last three years has seen conditions which make it possible for borrowers to pay in full. -—■

> around the first of the year. Maybe I all of us should take inventory of ourselves and our driving habits as I the new year begins. An all time record for automobile accidents and deaths will probably 1 be set in 1936. Some communities • will show reductions, others will show large increases. It’s to be re- ! gretted that this will be true in spite ■ of all the safety work that is being ; done. We must resolve within ourselves ■ to do better- It’s the human factor ■ in automobile driving that causes the accidenots. A smart driver, be- ’ cause of his driving skill, can us- ■ ually get out of difficult situations without an accident. The safe driver just does not get into difficult siutautions in the first place. That’s the difference. BE A SAFE DRIVER. o SARAH HELM IS j£. nN J '-S!'

BIRTH DAY BALL FUND fmqm XfcgXSJSJL given to the Adams county memorial hospital. The manufacturing company for this reason gives u discount to purchases made in the name of the sorority. Not Charity The trustees of the fund pointed out that the gift is not charity, although it Is not expected that the gifts be returned. Attempted or successful cures for the disease are extremely ex-1 pensive and are a serious drain on the pocket book of a moderately I wealthy family. In the case of the child who has I been given the wheel chair, the par- ■ ents are not wards of the county, although they have spent enough: ' on the girl in Che last 15 years to "buy a farm." She is one of six '! children. Four of the others are in school. Employment for the I father, who works in this city, has been unsteady for the last several I years. Although he is now working full time, a Tew months ago he ; was working only two days a week. The parents stated that they ' might possibly buy some sort of I a wheel chair, but it would be unI fair to the other five children. Au , investigation revealed this to be i the case. The committee will have a small I balance in the treasury to which j will be added 70 per cent of the J net proceeds of the 1937 ball. The ' other 30 per cent will go to the j [ national committee for research in an effort to find a cure for the dis- j i ease. o NEW BUILDING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) in attendance in these schools. 7.
