Ladies are especially invited to attend tomorrow's annual banquet j of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce at the Catholic auditorium. Eighteen inches of snow in New York state, a blizzard in southern Indiana, terrible weather on the Pacific coast. After all this middle west territory isn't so bad. Tickets for the governor's banquet tomorrow evening cost but fifty cents and you are assured a good dinner and an interesfTng program. If you haven't purchased tickets, do so at once as the limit is about exhausted. Funny stories are those being told about the "ghost girl of state road 31" and while we don’t want to say the boys don't know what they are talking about, we insist we can't believe in this “now you see me and now you don't" line they are handing out. Watch the newspapers for the next ten days and make your Easter shopping easier. Local stores are advertising an array of Easter wear and you'll find it easy and pleasant to select your new garment or suit at one of the stores. What no Easter togs? Detroit probably wouldn't have objected about all the strikes if, the sit-down vacations came about three months later. Then everybody could have closed shop, store and manufacturing plant and hied to the lakes and by fall be ready to go back to work. It might be the thing to do now. Decatur is proud of its industries and it will be a real pleasure to have Governor Townsend and other state officials give them the once over next Thursday. No town this size in the state can toast of such splendid industries as does Decatur. They'll hold their place in any town in the country. The Junior Chamber of Commerce will have a special table at tomorrow night's dinner and will elect their officers for the ensuing' year. This is an organization composed of the younger business men and women of the city, who have helped in numerous ways the past few years to make Decatur a city they can be proud of. You will enjoy meeting them.

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 addr«M and new address. 1

{ As a speller, Miss Marguerite ; Staley, a junior in the Decatur high I ' school, is the best in the county, j ' She won recognition in a contest | broadcast from Fort Wayne the •[other evening and made other conL testants take the count. She will have the honor of representing this t county iu a regional contest in j May and her friends here know she will make a good showing. J The Dally Democrat wants to I serve advertiser and reader in an 1 efficient and pleasant manner, Ad- [ vertisers can be of gerat help to the paper by getting their copy 1 into the hands of the printer the afternoon before publication, as a night force is employed to set ads | 1 for the next day. We like to de- [ liver the paper on time and you get better results from good service. Among those who have sent i word they will attend the Chamber [ of Commerce meeting here tomorrow are the Hon. Floyd I. McMur-1 ray, state superintendent of schools; the Hon. R. Earl Peters, director of the Federal Housing Administration for Indiana; the . Hon. Earl Crawford, chairman of, the Indiana state highway commis- I sion and several others. We are proud of the fact that they will be ; here and we assure them every possible courtesy. A sincere and hearty welcome will be extended Governor Townsend and the other visitors who ' are coming here tomorrow to at-' tend the annual dinner of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. A; meeting of farm leaders at noon, a visit to the schools in the after-; noon, a trip to the various indus- | tries and the banquet in the eve- I ning will provide a program that | we hope will be enjoyed by all who I honor this thriving county scat J with their presence. ——.-— If Mayor LaGuardia wants to, pull away from New York and the ' controversy over Hitler, he might , angle for the city manager's job ’ at Cincinnati. His name has been mentioned in connection with the post which will be vacated by Mr. < Dykstra who will become president * of Wisconsin University. Chances ■ are that LaGuardia couldn't acclimate himself to Ute wide-open c spaces, but an inducement he would get away from a lot of New [ York City's noise. Congratulations to Miss Mar - < guerite Staley, Decatur high school girl, who won the Adams county , < spelling contest over WOWO and who later will represent Adams , county in a contest in which the j winners of nineteen northeastern * t Indiana counties will participate on the evening of May 22nd. It is an , achievement that any young man | or woman could be very proud of 11 and Miss Staley has the assurance 1 that every citizen of the county will be for her all the way. The resignation of William Lowe | Bryan as president of Indiana University has surprised eveu his' closest friends. For thirty-five years he has served as the head [ I of this great college and with dis-1 tinction that has made him famous throughout the nation. Os broad educational attainments. Mr. Bryan ■ has proven a wise and energetic leader. Those who have attended the state university have only words of commendation for him and they are now as always his devoted admirers. He has concluded a wonderful job and he will always have the profoundest admiration of every Hoosier. He deserves a rest and it is hoped that ihe will continue the interest in public affairs he has always shown I for his advice has always been good and will ever be sought, by those who believe in high ideals. o Trade in a Good Town—Decatur. « • ; TODAY'S COMMON ERROR | II I Never say, "How could a sob- |; er man act the way he did?" j ! say, “as he did.” '• i ♦ ,

DETROIT HOTEL STRIKE ENDED Compromise is Reached To End Strike In Leading Hotels Detroit, Mar. 17.-d(U.P>-Four ot Detroit's principal hotels operated on a normal service basis today under a compromise agreement providing for employes to return to work pending final settlement of issues which precipitated a 38hour sit-down at one hotel and a, 17-hour lockout at three others. The labor dispute left approximately 2,500 patrons of the Statler, Book-Cadillac. Fort Shelby and Detroit Leland hotels with no more comforts than they were able to provide for themselves. The compromise was reached in a five-hour conference last night of Mayor Frank Couzens and representatives of the hotel associ- , ation and the waiters and wait-: resses association. Service at the hotels was restored immediately. The sit-down strike at the Statler began Monday at noon, and in the other three hotels the managements concurred in simultaneous lockout early yesterday. “I do not expect auy further difficulties in the Detroit hotel field." said Gov. Frank Murphy, through whose mediation the compromise was reached. The agreement set up a threeman arbitration board, to begin deliberation not later than Thursday night, with full power of final judgment. Discrimination against strikers or union members was forbidden. Union agents were given access to

Union demands which culminated in the strike at the Statler and subsequent lockouts were for high- ' er wages, shorter hours, and union recognition. The agreement provided that the arbitration board's awards should apply to no particular hotel “until a minimum of 51 per cent of the employes in that craft in such hotel are members of the union.” j The agreement bound only the four hotels involved in the curI rent controversy, but left open the way for other hotels to join in ‘
