It was a great occasion and an inspiration to every one interested in Adams county and Decatur. Nothing is more important in any county than her schools and roads, so it was fitting indeed that these major interests be featured on Governor’s Day. Berne sent a large delegation to the banquet and Geneva was well represented. Each has a Chamber of Commerce that is doing excellent work and the mingling with those similarly interested was good tor all of us we feel. Many visitors from Bluffton. Huntington, Fort Wayne and other nearby cities attended the banquet here last night and we hope enjoyed it. We know it was fine to have you ande we hope you come again au.i as often as you can. Governor Townsend told the crowd at the court house that he wondered now as he always had if the people in Adams county realized they were living in the best county in the state. He talked to them of their problems and he impressed them with his fairness and his integrity. The next big event to be sponsored by the Decatur Chamber of Commerce will be the Annual Street Fair and Agricultural Exhibit, August 2nd to 9th. The cooperation of every one in the county is desired that it may be as great a success as have the others given under this auspices. Congratulations are due Father Scimetz and all who assisted him in providing the banquet last evening. It was one of the most delightful ever attended by any of those privileged to be here and hundreds complimented them upon the dinner and the service. It was a difficult task well performed. Several of the leading industrial men took part in the program here yesterday, attending the various meetings and discussing with the officials the problems which they are interested in and which they feel will better conditions here and over the state. It was a meeting, the good results of which can scarcely be estimated. We are sure our visitors, especially those who made the trip to 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 youi 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 adareas and new address.

'the industrial institutions, the schools, the Homestead and other points ot interest were surprised and pleased with the progress , made here the past two or three years. No town in the middle 1 west has done a better job of I coming out of the depression. 1 The committees which entertained Earl Crawford, chairman of the I state highway commission and J Floyd McMurray, state superinteni dent of public instructions became * better acquainted with them, listj ened to their problems which are I state wide instead of county wide and received promises of cooperation that will bring good results in the future. We are too old fashioned to understand this modern, streamline method of not following court ord- ' ers. but for some reason or other they seem to be "making snoots" at the judges, sheriffs and others in authority. It is fine to be lenient but there is certainly a point ' of reason beyond which we cannot go without breaking down the government of a democracy. Governor Townsend has reappointed Richard McKinley to be head of the state bank department, Virgil Simmons as conservation commissioner, Kenneth Kunkle as fish and game commissioner, Chester Montgomery as securities commissioner and Verne Harvey as director of the department of health. These men have all made good and there was no reason for a change that might disturb the smooth running machinery of the state. Needless to say we are appreciative of the fine support given' Governor s Day through the adver tising messages in this paper. They show an earnestness and enthusiasm that means much for it ; s the kind of message that creates greater interest and helps to build. If you haven't read these wonderful displays, we hope you still do so for you will want to know the things said. No small city in Indiana can boast of such splendid industries as does Decatur and we are sure that they will continue to grow. The most successful annual banquet ever held by the Decatur Chamber of Commerce was that of last evening when nearly five hundred men and women gathered at the Catholic auditorium, enjoyed a splendid dinner served by the ladies of the church under direction of Mrs. W. A. Klepper as 1 chairman and listened to a program in which the Governor, M. I Clifford Townsend, Floyd McMurray. state superintendent, Earl Crawford, chairman of the slate, highway commission. R. Earl Peters. director es the FHA for Indiana, and others took part. Ward Calland presided and aa always did himself proud. It was an enthusiastic and happy event, for which we congratulate the direct-1 ors of the chamber and all others who assisted in making it such an outstanding event. o ♦ « I Answers To Test | Questions i Below are the answers to the | Test Questions printed on Page Two gp_. —— - - ♦ 1 The apparent motion of the heavens from eaat to west resulting from the earth's rotation on its axis from west to east. i 2.
