Dance that others may walk—j Saturday evening at the President's Birthday Ball. Your gross income tax report for last year must be in the mails by the eud of next week so don't put it off much longer. The eighty-year-old woman who died, proudly boasting that she had never been kissed, should have been reminded that she had never' lived and probably was. Another several days of rain would almost devastate the cities along the Ohio river and in a num-

ber the orders to evacuate have already been carried out, soldiers guarding the properties. What the middle west needs the next two weeks is any thing but more rain. The month is almost over and there are still a number of our subscribers who receive the paper, by mail who have not renewbd. We are sure you want to but have just been putting it off. Won't you attend to this now? We are anxious to complete the renewal job within the next fortnight and with a little cooperation we can do it. The public generally isn't losing any sleep over the rebukes, imaginary or real, that they say have been handed to Mr. Lewis and Mr. I Sloan. They feel that it wouldn't be a bad idea for each of them U> forget the selfish things back of their proposals and get to the real issues. Perhaps they could be adjudictaed and business could go on i as it was all ready to do. The response to the Hoot relief I fund is the most generous and the most sincere we have ever known. Every body is giving of what they have liberally. In many places various forms of entertainment an* being given and the funds turned in. If money would restore happiness and comfort to the stricken I area, they would soon be out of their difficulties and of course the time is near when it will help greatly. The Chamber of Commerce meet- 1 ing tomorrow evening is important as new members of the board of directors will be chosen and plans discussed for the year’s activities.! Os course you are interested in that for what helps the community is sure to prove valuable to, you if you live here and the more you are interested in Decatur, the ■ more anxious you will be to see! that we keep going right along in every way.

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 addrw and new address. 1

The annual banquet of the Indi ana Democratic Editorial Asso|Viatiuu will be held a week from Saturday night In the Riley room of the Claypool hotel at Indiauapi oils, when 2,000 are expected to attend. Tickets sell for two dollars and are going out rapidly. Get an order in to Democratic state headquarters if you want to enjoy this I big event for which the speakers I will include Governor Townsend, Senators VanNuys and Minton, I Congressman Griswold and others. The state senate defeated a bill proposing an exemption of SI,OOO I before counties may exercise a I lien for reimbursement on the ' property of persons receiving old age pensions. That seems sound. The difficulty is that there is a confusion as to whether people who reach a certain age should be kept in comfort, in many cases better than they have been used to, or it is the duty to take care of the needy. The latter is the only meth-

od that will probably stand the test of years. The question of keeping schools open the balance of the year, paying the teachers and meeting necessary expenses, is worrying sev- • eral states according to press reports. In Indiana we are sitting pretty and everybody is happy over the fact. Cr dit is due the McNutt administration which re- , reived much “heat” from partisan I newspapers and Republican pollI tieians, but had the courage to go ' on, converting "a seven million dollar deficit into a fifteen million dollar balance with every thing paid.

President Roosevelt changed I from his first administration to his second without a ripple. He simply ' took the oath of office and went to I work again. Not a cabinet mem-j ber resigned and none were fired. I Just now this great leader is working on the flood relief problem and l worrying about the strikes in the 1 automobile industry. He is patient.' wise and tireless and deserves the I sincere cooperation of leaders of i capital and labor. The public is. with him for those things that he I feels will be solve the many intri- j cate affairs of today. We who have warm and dry and | comfortable homes can scarcely > realize the physical and mental tor-1 lure of those in the flooded areas , just a little ways south from here, ( In almost every home now there is illness of some degree, in many cases deaths have resulted. Think ,of those who are trying to take i care of loved ones under those circumstances. No warm water, no heat in the house, dfTnking water rationed, food scarce if any, doctors available only when they can be secured and not much hope for ' the future. It is perhaps the worst! disaster this nation has known; since the Civil war. The original call for two hun-1 dred dollars for the Red Cross : from this county was doubled then I multiplied by five and now the ord-1 ers are to pay no attention to! quota, but give all we can and we can readily understand how all the funds that can be raised will be 11 needed. It will take months ot careful watching to avoid disease epidemics, repair homes and make them fit to live in. get the cities back to functioning. This county by this evening will have sent in more than $3,500, a wonderful response and we will give more if this isn’t enough. It’s a great nation that after all, hasn't forgotten the Golden Rule. — 0 Modern Etiquette * | By ROBERTA LEE Q. if a person mispronounces one's name, or calls one by the wrong name, is it all right to corIrect Mm?

MEDICAL CARE must be given Township Trustees To Give Medical Aid Io Needy Aged Indianapolis, Jan. 28.-Numerous inquiries received from county departments of public welfare and township trustees concerning division of responsibility on providing medical care for the needy aged persons who are recipients of old age assistance checks, today prompted Wayne Coy, acting ad ministrator of the state department of public welfare to issue the following statement: "Cases have been called to our , attention by both county welfare departments and township trustees in which aged persons receiving old age assistance checks are in | need of additional care or support because of illness. In such instances the aged persons have i been allowed aged assistance, which were not budgeted in a sufficient sum to cover the costs of unanticipated sickness. "The county departments of public welfare have not been able to | foresee the aged individual’s need for medicines or medical care of an emergency nature and, therefore, have not Included such needs in determining the amount of thel monthly award. Section 33 of the ' welfare act of 1936 makes it poss-' ible for a township trustee to give ' medical assistance to recipients of old age assistance. “An opinion written by the attorney general of Indiana advises the state department of public welfare and township trustees who have made inquiry that there is nothing in the public welfare act l of 1936 which relieves the town-' ship trustee of any responsibility ( he may have in furnishing medical | assistance to needy persons. Sec-' tion 5 of the relief laws of 1935 i says the township trustee 'shall, I in cases of necessity, promptly pro-, vide medical and surgical attend-' ance for all of the poor in his town- ■ ship who are not provided for in 1 public institutions: and shall also, see that such medicines and med- j ical supplies and special diets and, nursing as are prescribed by a! physician or surgeon in attendance ! upon the poor are properly turn-1 isheu.’ "It. therefore, is clear that where ’ old age assistance payments are ’ insufficient to meet medical needs i the individual may apply and re*' eeive assistance from the town-'

'ship Where an old age recipient] has a chronic ilmekt and it is possible to measure his medical need .nee-ill to inonth. then it is entirely within the provwicp a county welfare department to in chide in the monthly grant payment for all of the medical needs, providing the maximum award for all needs Is not greater than S3O per month. I am certain that it is the intention of Indiana laws applying to township trusteed and to aged assistance granted by county welfare departments that the medical needs of the aged shall be taken care of.
