He is making the greatest fight for the people ever made in this country and if his ideals are right as he and millions believe, they should be carried out NOW. With the legislature drawing to a close, with strikes being settled, with the weather normal, looks like; we were all ready to lick into the! business of making 1937 a great year. There is still plenty of time,! NOW was the text of President L Roosevelt’s address and that’s good for everything." The main requisite for stepping along in this world is L to act. We may make mistakes, but, if we do nothing we get no where. Regardless of what you think of President Roosevelt's plans for ’ better living conditions in America,; we are sure you will agree he is. right in his position that what ever is worth doing should be done without delay. ■ - — -'■■■■ l» What do we folks in Indiana care! about the Supreme Court, strikes and floods, we are not exercised about minor events —the annual basketball tournaments are in progress and we can’t be bothered with the ordinary affairs of life. Members of the Berne and Geneva Chamber of Commerce, the Lions and others who attend the governor’s banquet here the night of the 18th will receive a hearty and sincere welcome. Lets tell the governor all about the best county. in the state,' Those thirteen hundred good sports and ardent followers of President Roosevelt who paid 3100 each to attend the Victory dinner in Washington, sounded like they were getting their money’s worth and so far no cases of indigestion have been reported. If as it is whispered there is a gang of hoodlums trying to inter-1 sere with the general assembly and officials in Indianapolis, they should be promptly dealt with. Indiana has no place for Huey Long or Al Capone machine manipulations in public affairs or otherwise. Those who fear a Roosevelt dictatorship can forget it. The president has lyinounced his retirement for January 20th. 1941. What he 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 i us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

[hopes to do in TITe meantime is to bring about a prosperous and happy condition for everyone in the country and If properly supported, that’s just what he will accomplish. When you drive while under the tl influence of liquor, when you see how fast your car will go, when ! you recklessly try to go arouud the car ahead on a curve or hill, when yon are not careful every second , you have hold of the steering i wheel, you are betting your life ' and the lives of those who are 11 with you and the odds are that you loee your bet. Adams county Democrats did not give a victory dinner on the 4th, but Mayor Holthouse is spon-l soring a campaign to secure a fund in excess of what the profits of such a dinner could have been here and the money will be forwarded! j to headquarters at Washington to meet our share ot the deficit in the treasury of the national Demo-1 cratic committee. The steel companies meeting the demands of Lewis and his organization have apparently figured it ! out that since the people voted for Mr. Roosevelt and he favors better wages, that’s what they want, . so they will meet the demands but ■ charge it to the public. In other words they will raise the prices of their product to take care of the increased overhead and have some additional profits. A hundred men in a CCC camp i at Nashville struck because of the l poor grade of meals being served I I them and their lack of civilian pri-, vileges. They claim that recently the only food they have had most of the time has been beans. If that is true they have a just complaint. We can’t believe it and if it’s so, there must be a leak some where along the line for similar complaints have not come from other camps and we know of no reason why one ' outfit should be thus treated. If the so called “unfair business’’ act should become a law in Ind-J Sana, every good citizen will try his best to obey it but a lot of business men are hoping they will not ! be hampered with further bookkeeping and rules that increase the cost and interior with the regular routine. It requires constant work by an accountant now to keep up with all the demands of the state and federal depart- . meats and any thing that adds to the present difficulties will certainly not meet the approval of the average business man who is tryj ing his best to meet all expenses and keep up with the many demands on his time and income. o Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee • * New Clothespins Soak new clothespins for 30 tniu-1 utes in a vessel ot boiling water to which a little baking soda hat been added, and they will not break so readily.

' Letter From Refugee Resting among the most treasured possessions of Betty Hunter, is a pathetic letter from a 12 year old flo<»d refugee, forced to evacuate her parent's home during the crisis of the flood situation. Written in a somewhat shaky scrawl that lends an idea of the nerve-wracking ordeal the young Louisville girl was forced to undergo, the letter gives a vivid word picture of a family, consisting of a mother and four children, forced' to flee from their homes, while they left the father to aid in the rescue work. For nine days the family was unable to communicate with the father. Betty's name and address, left in the pocket ot a coat, which she had added to the contributions of students in flood relief work, was responsible for the answer received this week. Following is the contents of the letter: "Dear Betty, “I received the coat that you gave for flood sufferers, for which 1 am very grateful. My name is Willie Mae Willis. I am 12 years old and your coat fits me, it was MMMMI—— *MM RUPTURE SHIELD EXPERT HERE H. M.
