Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. There came to our desk today a pamphlet entitled, “The price of gold." Without reading it we ( know it's too expensive to buy. Old man Millman over at Coates Indiana, preached his own sermon ' the other day. praised himself and , advised others to “go and do likewise." Now all he has to do when , he gets ready to “kickoff" is to find an accomodating sexton and ring the bell. High school commencement activities will begin this week with the Junior-Senior reception Friday night. It's a happy and important time for the young men and young women and may they always cherish fond memories of their high school days. The blowing of horns, yelling and needless noises, made by automobile drivers through the streets must stop, according to officials’ orders. The police will arrest those who so engage. After all. while it's great to have fun, it also should be remembered that no one has a right to continuously disturb others. In Van Wert county a crowd of ' hoodlums have been changing road signs, to point in the opposite direction from the correct manner, altering other signs even including those at railroad crossings, evidently getting pleasure from the dis- 1 comfort of others. A campaign to stop this and to arrest those guilty 1 has been authorized. The Chrysler company has pur-; chased the old Haynes factory at 1 Kokomo and will build transmissions and axles there, employing a thousand men. That city, which suffered perhaps more than any other in the state during the depression is coming back rapidly and is now larger and more pros perous than ever. * Complaints of speeding along some streets and especially in the ' factory districts have been receiv- 1 ed at the city hall and orders have 1 been issued to the police that the twenty and thirty-mile speed laws for all cities and towns must be 1 •enforced here. There should be 100% cooperation in this matter ‘ 1 for unless these matters are regu-p lated, accidents with terrible re-1' suits are bound to follow. When a man is crowned king of , ■England, that is news, because it i happens only about once in every ; i 25 years. But when a king of Eng laud gives up his throne for the;, “woman I love," that is bigger h CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new , address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

news because It happeus only about once in every 1,000 years. His wedding on June 3, in Monts. France, will be one of the major news stories of 1937 und may require more space in history books than the story of his brother's coronation. His public troubles may now be over, but many a husband would say that ex-Kiug Edward "hasn't seen anything yet." — ■ I— Paul G. Hoffman, president of the Studahaker Corporation is also national chairman of the Automobile Manufacturers Association Safety Traffic Committee and in a recent address told of extending plans among factory groups in South Bend. He says: “We have organized in each of our 35 leading factories a safety league. Every man who drives an automobile must join the league and agree to observe certain driving rules. There is a monthly contest between these 35 firms to see which one of the safety leagues has the best record based on the proportion of violators to the total membership in the company league. The results between companies are publicized but, of course, no names are given. However, the president of every company writes to each violator, telling him that his lapse has affected the standing of his company in the contest. Since the beginning of the contest there have been 1,203 convictions for moving traffic violations in South Bend. About one-half of the automobile drivers in South Bend are enrolled in the factory safety league. That half was responsible i for only 159 of the 1,203 violations." The resignation of Justice Wil lis Van Devanter, 78, dean of the Supreme Court conservatives and considered an enemy of the NewDeal has further complicated the I progress of President Roosevelt s proposed judiciary reform bill. I Enemies of the proposed bill state that the appointment of a new man on the court would give I Roosevelt ample backing for his New Deal legislation. Friends of the bill hold that the resignation proves that men past 75 are no longer mentally and physically equiitped to judge the law of the land. Senators have had sufficient time to consult the people back home since the President raised the question and should know the I sentiment of the voters, when the bill is finally brought to a vote. Whether due to the proposed bill or because members of the Supreme Court sincerely felt they had changed their minds, more liberal legislation has been sustained by the Supreme Court in the last year than in the history of the body. New Dealers will feel they have won a victory on this account; whether or not the bill is finally passed. Opponents to dredging of the Wabash River have instituted new legal action in the 25-year-old light to halt the drainage project. In seeking a temporary injunction enjoining the drainage commissioner from letting the contracts which it is estimated will amount to about SIOO,OOO, it is claimed that Special Judge Henry Kister acted without jurisdiction when he ord ered the appointment of the drain age commssioner. Judge Kister declared part of an act banning the project which was passed by the last session of the state assembly unconstitutional. That former State Senator Thurman Gottschalk and State Representative Frank Thompson, who fathered the bill through the two houses of the state assembly acted with the consent of the majority of those affected was shown by the many expressions of approval which they received. The action renewed in the Adams Circuit Court rtiay result in a test before the State Supreme Court, which would render a final decision and pass on the constitutionality of the bill. However, years of costly litigation may ensure before the word “finis" is written to the county’s most famous law suit.

PLAN FUND TO AID COLLEGE Franklin College To Conduct Campaign For Funds Franklin, Ind., May 19.—Rev. J. M. Horton of Hammond, preaident of the Indiana Baptist board of promotion, announced today that the unanimous support of the Baptist churches in Indiana had been given Franklin College for the school's conduct of a financial campaign to be known as the second century development program. “For more than one hundred years," Rev. Horton said in his an nouncement. "The Baptist church has supported liberally the educational work of Franklin College The school has emerged from the depression in a sound financial condition only through the sacrifice of its teachers It is our hope that the development program as outlined in our annual meeting of the state board of promotion hi Indianapolis last week will alleviate materially the burden which Franklin's loyal staff has been carrying.” In company with Brodehurst Elsey of Indianapolis, chairman of the Franklin college board of directors, Rev. Horton announced the personnel of an executive council which will guide the affairs of the campaign. Representing the Baptist churches of the state on this committee will be Dr. Carl Atwater of the First Baptist church of Indianapolis, and Will Barr, leading Baptist layman of Bluffton. The alumni association of the college has selected William H Book of Indianapolis and Roger D Branigin of Louisville, president of the alumni association, as its members on the executive council of the campaign. Leo Wolford of Louisville and Will B. Nelp of Pittsburgh. Pa., have been selected by tho college board of directors as their representatives on the campaign committee. Dr. W. G. Spencer, president of the college, and an unnamed Franklin resident will com plete the membership of this group. Rev. Horton indicated that a bulk of the money raised in this campaign would be devoted to the building of scholarship funds for the use of worthy students who wished to enroll in the college. Active solicitation throughout the state will not begin either in the church or alumni divisions until September.

Aside from being the best to drive on, it keeps itself clean, looks better, and has made our neighborhood more desirable. Property values are up.” That’s not half the story. Your own experience tells you that concrete helps you to drive safely; that it effectively checks skidding; that its light-grey surface helps you see at night. And concrete saves you money because it is modentt in first cost, low in upkeep and long lasting. Be guided by your experience and observation.
