Old Sol is getting in his work and we could tell it was around ninety without even looking at the big thermometer in front of this office, put up to settle the seasons weather disputes. Judge VanDeVanter will feel, funny out on his farm when some i federal official comes along to tell him how many pigs and how- much wheat and corn he can grow. It would be interesting to have his i opinion as expressed right out on the patch when that occurs. i If you missed taking out that insurance policy this week you can . still get it if you will step to the telephone and call any reliable , agent. He may skid a little getting over to you but he will be there almost before you get the receiv- j er hung up and the tobacco taway. Os course there isn't such a thing as a model liquor law because ' there are too many different opinions on what that would be, but ; for some reason, four states are ( getting ready to copy Indiana's , statute. These are Kentucky, Cali- , fornia, South Dakota and Alabama, j Must have some merit. L=TS | Many believe, and there is much , merit in their reasoning, that half . hour parking, between Jefferson ( and Jackson, First and Third on Monroe and Madison and Jackeon on Third, would solve the' ■ traffic problem and make it easier | {or the farmers and visitors to , trade in the local stores. ] „ ————— , . Police are convinced that since 1 considerable publicity has been given the double parking nuisance, i i the public is really trying to cooperate and they appreciate that. After all it’s up to the car drivers to make it easy or difficult for , those who are expected to enforce , laws or ordinances in this or any community. “ Commissioner Phil Sauers thinks 1 the proper route for state road 27 1 •through Decatur would be north 1 down Thirteenth to Nuttman, east 1 to Fifth and north to the bridge. ’ What's your suggestion? The ob Jection the highway officials will | offer to this route is probably the! fact that it would have sharp turns! £ and would pass a grade school. 1 f The unanimous and magnanim 6us endorsements the Republicans , 1 are giving to Senator Robinson for 1 appointment to the Supreme Court 1 to succeed Justice VanDevanter leads us to the belief that perhaps ’ they would prefer him out of the * senate. He has been a gallant fight- 1 er as majority leader of that house ' of congress and it is doubtful it ' the administration will want to 1 lose him there. c Governor Townsend has been in 1 Washington this week and in an 1 address before the Women’s Dem-' 1 ocratic National Club, said that . ’ Indiana is back of President Roose- 1 velt because of his direct actions * and because the women are for 1

. him. The governor is u one hun- ' dred per center when It comes to • bucking the national administra- ' lion and never loses an opportun- : ity to say so. For the first three months of I this year 178,566 more passenger I automobiles were registered in the United States than for the same ' period last year, which accounts 1 for the increased traffic problem. : It will get worse, not better. That’s why there must bo real effort to i solve It in each community. Mill- ' ions of cars are running up and down this land of the free and home of the brave and it will take I courage to handle the situation. We hear much about the marvelous record made on the sale of ( "Gone with the wind’’ this yearl and of other books of which several hundred thousand copies were disposed, but after all, the real “best seller” is still the Holy Bible. The American Bible Society alone, it has just revealed, last year put out 7,767,000. It is believed that this and all other publishing hous- ' es, sold more than ten million I Bibles. That’s a record for any i author to shoot at. Just a little private wedding I with the world and five hundred j news reporters looking on, with the 41 year old bride carrying a i $20,000 trunk of gowns, with the 1 groom smiling but not as happy I as he would have the world be- j lieve, has been arranged for Wally and the duke for June 3rd. It all , makes news and that’s about all \ you can really say for it. Not even a representative of the royal family of England will attend, indicating that every little difficulty has not been smoothed out there. The teaching of the child in j school that traffic is dangerous unless they stop, look and listen when crossing the streets is comparatively easy but it’s the adult who makes the problem almost impossible. They seem to think the rules and laws were made for the | other fellow and go blindly ahead, 11 evidently feeling ho harm can 1 ] come to them. But it does and the fatalities annually contain a long ' I < list of grown-ups. They say it’s hard to “teach old dogs new tricks” j < but some how that must be done i it' we are to get anywhere with. the safety campaign. | i - ’ The passing of A. H. (Gus) j < Wehmeyer, one of the outstanding i business men of the city, has : shocked the community. He was < held in the highest esteem by 1 1 every one. A tireless worker, de- j j voted to his task and to his home,; he was looked to as a man of un- 1 1 usual ability, with wisdom and ex-j perience and the integrity that ■ goes' with success. His advice was always good. As manager of the 1 wholesale department of The Schafer Company, he attended strictly to business, a friend to all, I evidently getting his greatest pleasure from his duties of life.l He was interested in all things that go to make a community better and was in every sense a high grade citizen. As steel output advances to peak productions, it is interesting to note the rise in the per-family con- ; sumption of finished steel. The ap parent consumption last year, per family, was 2,350 pounds. This was 12 per cent under the average annual consumption of 2,675 pounds per family from 1925 through 1929 ; and 20 per cent below the 1929 consumption of 2,950 pounds per family. We venture to predict the ■ 1937 average will surpass the 1929 1 consumption. The demand for steel i is and will continue to be unusual- | ly heavy, not only because of the i foreign demand but because of 1 domestic needs for new construe-, tion, rail replacements and auto-1 mobile factory demands. Perhaps ■ steel for homes will not increase the anticipated per-family consumption this year, but here is a field of expansion. Faced by the accumulated demands of the depression •
