Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. The majority of us won’t kick if the grave diggers who are ou a sit-down strike never have to go to work. The Illinois youth who stands 8 feet, 7 inches high in his stocking feet should come to Indiana and get on a baskethall team. Indianapolis should have had a corner on the latest news and political gossip over the weekend, both the Democratic and Republi- I can editors meeting there for their conventions. There’s always something new under the sun. Up in Valpariso the carpenters reduced their wage, scale in order to stimulate the building business, which act centers attention ou that section of the state. The baseball season is only a week away, but if the country is going to get the fever, the weather man will have to do his bit. Sitting out in right field with an April breeze hitting you around the ears, would spoil most any good game. If a donation of about $50,000 could be obtained Decatur could build the kind of a school and community building it would like to have. Match that amount against a PWA grant and you have approximately $90,000, which added to the $245,000, would erect a real building. Your car takes as much spacey and you obstruct traffic just as much if you double park it with someone in it or let it stand without an occupant. Don't think that because someone is left in the car that you have a right to double park or that it doesn’t cause a traffic jam. Keep the streets cleared. Prince Nicholas, brother of King Carol of Roumania has decided that he will continue to live with his commoner wife, mother of his children. He lias renounced any claim to the throne, which may not be much after King Carol gets through with it. The boys over there don't seem to like the king business any more. Evidently more happiness is to be found down the other road. * The Northeastern Indiana Firemens convention here next June 11 and 12, will be a doubly interesting 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.

I event. The Boy Scouts will hold | | their Camporee on Saturday and the firemen will stage an interestI ing program, including a parade, | water battles and other demonstrations. State fire marshal Clem Smith and other state officers will. 1 be here and lend their support in making the event worth while. More than the usual emphasis will be paid to the agricultural and live stock departments of the street I fair this year. In fact these and other similar departments will feai ture the fair There will be entertainment sf course and' a midway, but the horse, cattle and other livestock shows, the 4-H and other agricultural exhibits will be the worth while departments. Adams county Is an agricultural com I munity and the more we help to improve conditions and increuse farm income greater will be the results for everyone. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is a live organization and besides that, the members are civic minded and public spirited. The organization is taking the lead in staging a city-wide clean up and beautification campaign and is outlining a program which will be very effective. In addition to gathering and hauling away tons of old tin cans and other rubbish the clean up period will include lawn and house beautification. ,- Let's enter into the spirit and infuse ourselves with a little of that I youthful zest and make Decatur spic and span, a place of beauty for all. National Youth Week will be ( observed in Decatur beginning April 24th. The Rotary and Woman’s clubs sponsor the program, held in cooperation witll the national youth movement, it’s a week when public attention will and’ should be focused on the commute ] ity’s greatest asset, youth. A well planned program will be given and much good should result. In this up-set age it seems we give tod little attention to the boys and girls. We fail in giving them the proper outlook on life, respect for home and love of God. We can’t i do it all in one week, but if we devote seven days to thinking and talking about the children we should be spurred on to give a ■ little more attention to them dur- ’ ing the next 51 weeks. Decatur is host again to visit ors, several hundred men coming , from this section of the state to attend the district convention of the United Holy Name Society. The two-day meeting opened Sunday, with the men, including those of the local society, marching in a body to St. Mary's church to attend services. The Holy Name Society is a national organization of Catholic laymen espousing the reverance of the name of God and ; condemning profanity in ail its ! vulgar and sinful forms, cursipg, blaspheming or in any way using the name of God in a disrespectful manner. Clothes may make the man, but the tongue will always denote a true Christian gentleman, to which all will agree. A rowdy and pug has not respect for the name of God or Jesus and oaths are his stock in trade. Others I curse, not knowing wffiat they say. Decatur is happy to have the visit- • nr.-i in its midst and. the two-day program, concluding witll an address tonight al Ihe K. of C. hall. ' we know, will not umly be entertaining, but inspiring and beneficial as well. o—rCONGRESS T By UNITED PRESS Senate II Considers hills ou calendar.

1 "kL 0 w BR * UN I CzC , Many times in this column I have brought out the fact that courtesy is a very important item In the prevention of automobile aceldents. Personally. 1 believe that through the practice of courtesy on the part of pedestrians and the automobile driver, 90 per cent of, our accidents could be avoided. The other day 1 saw an uhbej Movable thing! A truck driver stopped his truck at a busy downtown mousing to help an old lady across the street to safety. One reads about these things occasion-j ally, but this was the first time 1 had personally had an opportunity to see it- The action of this driver not only built up good will towards the firm he represented, but he impressed me with the fact that courtesy will prevent accidents Had he been reckless, careless, or had he taken seriously the fact < that the "Go” sign was with him, j this old lady might have been in volved in an accident. Courtesy builds good will —court-; esy prevents accidents. Try it! o ♦ ♦ - Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee ♦ — ♦ A Table Decoration The next time candles are to be used for a table decoration, nothing will be more attractive or, novel than to select some rosycheeked apples, polish them to a nice luster, then hollow out to re ceive the Candles. The color of the candles can be selected to match the desired color scheme. Shrinking Goods It is well to shrink new cotton materials and ginghams before making into garments. Soak in' salt water, %-cup of salt to each gallon of water, then hang straight on the line In a shady place. This will not only insure goods against I further shrinking but will set the colors. Hair Treatment After washing the hair, try adding a half cup of vinegar to the; rinsing water. It will soften the hair and give it a pretty sheen. o NINE SHOT IN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) — the opening of a CIO drive for: membership. The mines are worked by members of the Tri-State Metal.

and Smelter Workers’ union. It is I i a local organization with no national affiliation Members of the ( International Mine. Mill and Smelter Workers’ union, a CIO affiliate, have been on strike since May 8, 1935. A CIO spokesmen charge that the TriState organization is a company union. Peace was restored at the mines ■ under martial law during the 1935 'strike. About 8,000 miners return- ' ers returned to work in the inde- ; pendent union, which about 500 inI ternational members remained on strike. The independents are known as "blue carders.” The CIO had been quietly recruiting members from ' among the rival group and last week CIO leaders believed they had gained sufficient strength to bring their campaign into the open. They called a mass meeting at the city park in Richer for 2 p. m. Long before noon, the “blue card" men began to mobilize in the Richer streets. Ench was armed | with a pick handle. They marched, waving their clubs, singing and shouting.
