The average American has his mind rather well made up that war de.’sn't pay nor do thosi»nations; which so engage. The removal of the center or island traffic signal at “Five Points" with regular individual side lights in place, will be a real improvement and one that will be appreciated by the publie. You can please mother by telling her you have joined the crowd that is trying to make driving safer. She worries a lot about you when you are out in the car. Wouldn't that be a fine greeting for Mother's Day? Bet you never saw a time when it could rain any easier than it does this spring. One moment it will be fair and the sun shining and almost before we know it the rain is pattering down. The good earth is getting a real bath. Representatives of the state highway commission are here to buy the right-of-ways between here and the junction with 124 just west of Monroe. The contract to widen this pavement to twenty feet and resurface it will be let next month. Boost the free street fair and agricultural show to be held here the first week in August. It's a good thing to have these annual entertainments but they must be good. If they are no*, they do more harm than good. Lets make this one the best ever. The Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson have deferred their wedding until after the coronation, the date given now as a newspaper guess being the 18th. They also predict that the duke and his wife will reside in England, all of which makes good gossip for those who wish to talk as though they knew these folks personally. It's the queerest thing but it seems that just about the time we want a drink of good, cool, city water each evening, something happens that makes the water look like it had come out of the White River over at Muncie just below the straw board factory. It's probably necessary but it also takes the pleasure out of our evening drinking. Bids for dredging the Wabash river will be received May 29th but that probably doesn’t mean that work will start immediately. Just what the legal proceedures will be we cannot say but it's a good bet that there will be some. In the meantime the letting will be as isusual in such cases and according to reports there will be a number interested in doing the job. Business is so good in Decatur that a lot of folks think they don't have to invite customers. The only trouble with that logic is that

some live wire will drop In horn one of these days and go after the business with such modern methods. mostly advertising, that the fellow who is now sitting on his oars, will regret not having built up a sounder system. A number of chain outfits have their eyes on I Decatur. Let's keep them out by* being so progressive they have no field here. Pick a winner for the Derby. You don't need to bet on him but you ought to have a favorite to enjoy the few seconds it will take to dash on the mile and an eighth and then figure how much you could have won or lost if you had followed the hunch. That's about as much sport as playing it for <ash. The big event, the head-1 liner in the sport of kings will be run Saturday afternoon at Louis- 1 ville. Ky . and if you can't be thereto see the color, you can enjoy it over the radio and read of it in your favorite newspaper. Those who think Henry Wallace is an agricultural dictator should read about Hermann William Goering, who is in charge of Germany's four year plan to make that nation self-sufficient in food production. There every farmer must fill out a statistical card and if Goering doesn't like the report he tells the farmer so, going so far as to remove him to a city job and putting some one else on the farm. Abled bodied persons on relief must go to work as hired hands on the farm and if they refuse, must get along as best they can. The government won't feed them any more and will no longer give , them easy jobs Some of the program sounds quite sensible. The National Board of Fire l'ndetwriters. 85 John Street, NewYork. reports that the horrible school explosion at New London, Texas, has created renewed interest throughout the United States in the self-inspection blank for schools prepared by the board and first distributed in 1934. The blank makes it possible for school authorities to thoroughly check over buildings and unearth any and all hazards, and has been officially approved by the National Association of Public School Business Officials. More than 950 communities in this country have used the blank so far, and 373.000 copies of it have been sent out. No charge is made for the blank, and it is suitable for schools of all types and sizes. The board suggests that inspections be made at least once a month — new hazards are constantly appearing in buildings by a group comprising a teacher, a janitor and a representative of the fire department. One of the most important jobs we have for this year is to assist the state highway commission in getting the proper routings for those toads which pass through Decatur. A suggestion that sounds good to us is the one that Thirteenth street be taken over by the state and used for truck and heavy traffic while Winchester and Second is continued as the passenger route. The same thing can be i worked out by selecting a route for trucks and touring cars over 224. It's a difficult problem and one 1 that should have your earnest con sideration. Do you realize that the restaurants, drink parlors, confectionary stores, tire shops and

gasoline stations get a large percentage of their business from tourists? If we do not plan well now, we will lose this and it will prove a real loss. Live towns fight to keep on main highways. We have ’ a good system here now and It's worth real money to keep it, at the same time providing for such safety regulations as are sensible I and necessary. o „ ■ ♦ - ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.
