This is still pretty good flu weath-l er and it behooves each of us to guard against the disease which in the last two decades has caused more ill effects than all the others combined. The gatheringot mobs in Detroit parks, where wild eyed leaders make wild speeches and where all sense of fairness is lost by the participants, doesn't seem an Am erican way to meet a problem. Congress seems to be grinding along but so far we haven’t heard of much grist. Seems as though it takes that body several months to get ready to turn out the new acts and then they come streaming out so rapidly we can’t keep up with them. The Republican press is trying to make something out of the fact that several of the state department heads have been reappointed by Governor Townsend , which should have razzed changes, pitied those discharged and exalted them as the efficient members of the administration. Read the advertisements. They are valuable because they tell you how to save money and steps and get just what you want. The advertising a.lumns of this paper are or should be of more interest to you than any others you can find for these give you the message of those stores you know and patronize regularly. Judge John H. Clark, of California, once an outstanding member of the United States Supreme Court, now retired, thinks the proposal of President Roosevelt to change the court so it will be in lune with efforts to save this Nation. is constitutional and fair. Seems to make a difference whether these learned jurists are on or off the bench. New laws enacted by the 1937 legislature it is said change the forms of proceedure in a number of legal matters, the chief objection to which seems to be that it will again be necessary to test them all through the higher courts. If they are worth the effort of course that does not matter but if they only serve to complicate the questions, then the objectors may be right/ Time will tell. _ We believe that one of the most important things for the future of any community is that it be located on principal highways. In the years to come these will be even more influencing than were the railroads in the past for a constant stream of traffic will go over them. We should be showing greater interest for that’s the way to get what we want and if we don’t get It now, you will find it more difficult as the various routes become fixed.

' Gel keyed up for a couple of j good basketball battles Saturday. It's the occasion tor the annual tinals at the Butler field house lu Indianapolis and while only a small percentage of the fans. 14.853, can • crowd into that matntnouth buildt!lng. a million will be listening in. , Fort Wayne will meet Huntingburg I and Anderson and Rochester will do battle in the afternoon and the I winners will decide the championi ship at eight o'clock in the eve- , uing. It should be a wow. i 1 tlz? 1 In addition to his duties as in ! stitution supervisor, Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk will succeed Wayne Coy as acting head of the state welfare department, serving in that capacity without pay. He has resigned as senator for the district composed of Adams. Blackford and Wells counties to comply with the laws, in case of a special session it would be necessary to hold a special election or the district would hot 7)6 represented. However there seems to be no indication of an extra session at this time and it is hoped none will be necessary. Holy Week is far more important | than the average layman, busy with his efforts to earn a living and to keep himself entertained, seems to realize. It is an occasion for thinking about those millions ot years after the seventy on this earth have been spent, a time to refresh our minds as to the teachings of the Lord, a week for pause and ■ quiet. Tomorrow is Good Friday and to call your attention the sharper to these reasons for Holy Week, business here and elsewhere will cease from noon until three o'clock. It is well that these facts are annually brought to us in such manner as to cause us to be serious at least for a few hours. The poor old Indiana Traction I Company, once a great institution in Indiana, but in recent years a victim of the automobile and the . truck and now in receivership is having’ another battle. Employes have gone out on strike and the I entire line is tied up. There is i nothing to be done evidently for I the court will not permit the re- ! ceiver to pay out more than he . takes in. even if he recommended ■ it and of course the men don’t have to work if they don't want to or think they can do better by any : other method than that in use. In the meantime the public which has depndei upon this mode of traffic, and this number has grown apprei ciably the past few months, are thumbing their way or using the old flivver. If Second and Monroe streets ill the business section of Decatur could be kept reasonably clear, there would be no need of changing the route of highways 27 and 224 and we are sure that means a • lot of dollars to a number of our merchants each year. These are important roads that go places. No. 27 extends from Miami, Florida to Mackinaw City, Michigan, and is the route used most by summer tourists to the lakes, while 224 is a part of the Franklin highway, running from Atlantic City to San Francisco and touching many important cities. It is, it seems to us. one of our most important problems, to give some attention to the permanent routing of these roads, which will be definitely decided by ' the state highway commission sometime before January Ist of next year, when the new law which mandates the commission to ' keep the city streets, over which these loads operate, in good condi- ! tion. ■i u Answers To Test Questions i Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two * * 1.
