Edward, the duke of Windsor ought to get along rather comfortably on a grant of $1,250,000 and ' $5,000 per month income. For that I amount a lot of folks would be will-, lug to get rid of the burdens of a kingdom and roam the world as he ■ pleased. The fellow w ho gave Wayne Coy I a beating is probably a long ways from a pugilistic championship. Wayne has never been an athlete and has for several years been in rather poor health. A physical attack against him would be easy for most any one but in a battle; of wisdom and brains he will hold 1 his own with any competitor. A hundred girl clerks in the, downtown store of F. W. Woolworth company, Detroit, are having a sit-down strike, throwing a thousand girls out of work. If that's good sense we can’t get it and we don't believe such tactics will long be popular in America. Bet they make the candy department look like a Christmas eve rush was just over. One of the common expressions for many years has been “you bet your life.” Well, that's exactly what you do in this twentieth century speed madness. The traffic problem is your problem. Your stake in it is high, for it is your very life and the did slang phrase is good—you bet your life—when you substitute caution and uncertainty .for safety. Anß if you have your wife and the children along, you are betting their lives too. The thrill isn't worth it. A circular sent out by the city, of Spokane, Washington, is evidence of the marvelous gains made, during 1936 as compared with 1933. j It shows that bank deposits gain-j ed 128%, building gained 534%, department store sales 93%, postot'fice receipts 30% and automobile sales 233%. The bank deposits were as large as in 1929. Those who would stop this march of progress are either foolish or should be sent to some country where they don't want advancement. The community mourns the passing of Henry Hite, another of the veteran citizens and business men of Decatur. His was a long and busy and useful life. As a lumber and timber man in the days when the forests of this section were converted into fields for the farmers, as a retail merchant and as a wholesale dealer, Mr. Hite was an 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 address and new address.

' efficient, honorable and for half a ' century an active and successful ' business man. As trustee of Washj injfton township, he made an exj cellent record and he was held in ; high esteem by all who knew him. ( He served as a member of the ■ board of directors for the Old Adams County Bank and held numerj ous positions of trust. For many ! years his advice was sought be- ; cause he was recognized as a con- , servative and careful man. He i was a friendly and kindly neighbor, a good father and in all ways an example of good citizenship. We offer sincerest sympathies to the sou and daughters who survive, assuring them their father will always be kindly remembered by those who appreciate that men of qualities such as he possessed made this a good community. THE UPRISING: The conservative press has pictured the opposition to President | Roosevelt's Supreme court proposals as a popular uprising; spontan- . eous mass meetings, indignant citi- ’ zens, a flood of telegrams delug- ' ing congress, editors frantic for I more room in which to print the news. But New Canaan, Conn., gave the show away. New Canaan has 6,I 500 people, many of them wealthy communters from New York City. > It gave Landon a plurality of 690 votes over Roosevelt. The protest meeting was held in New Canaan's Junior high school. "About 300” people attended. There was no debate. Only one Democrat spoke— Hiernonimus Herold — and he ob- . viously didn't give his righ name. The resolution condemning the Roosevelt court-reform bill encountered as much opposition as an anti-Hitler speech at a conven-l tion of rabbis. As news, the New | Canaan "mass meeting” rated very low. But just as The Indianapolis Star 1 "played up” the reform protest ' meeting in Indianapolis two New York papers saw the New Canaan gathering as a great news event. The New York Herald-Tribune ran a two-column head on Page One, reading "New Canaan Blasts Court Plan.” There was more than a column of type. The New York Times gave the story similar prom-j, inence. Strange neither paper* thought the morning after the elec- 1 tion of this headline: “Landon | Wins by Landslide in New Canaan.” Who were the stalwarts who gathered—according to the immemorial custom of the Fathers —in town meeting to make remoni strance and petition for redress of grievances. Were they laundrywomen whose i “liberty of contract” had been safeguarded by Supreme court? Were they farmers saved by the court from the “coercion” of AAA checks? Were they coal miners rescued from the efforts of the federal gov--1 eminent to fix minimum wages for them? Let Archibald E. Stevenson, who •'was one of the men behind I the New Canaan meeting tell you ! who they were. In The New York Times’ report of the meeting, Mr. Stevenson was quoted as saying: "The attendance would have been greater save, for the fact that HALF OUR PEOPLE ARE IN FLORIDA OR CALIFORNIA AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.” The devotion to the Supreme court of those who can afford to winter In Florida or California is not without significance. Church Officials To Meet Wednesday ! The official borad of the Decatur j Methodist Epiecopal church will meet Wednesday evening at 7:30 I P. M., according io the announceI ment of the pastor. After a brief devotional period the monthly buei-1 ■ nens meeting will be held and then , ' the finance committee will be asked j to remain after adjournment to dis-1 I cuss the budget for the coming | year. All members of the official board are requested to be present. I "Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
