There may be days during the next few months when we would like to be afloat on that iceberg near the North Pole with those thirteen Russian explorers, but not now. Schools are closing and plans for the summer are being made. Remember there are a lot of wonderful parks and resorts in Indiana where you can enjoy a vacation at small cost. Memorial or Decoration Day will be observed next Monday, the date this year falling on Sunday. It is the occasion for paying due respect to those who fought for this country and have passed on. Every person who drives a car is part of the traffic problem and it behooves each therefore to be as careful as possible and to keep in mind th?.t the highways belong to the other drivers also and to the pedestrian. John D. Rockefeller was the first man in the world to amass a billion dollars. Dwight L. Moody, greatest showman of the “sawdust trail" reduced the population of hell by a million. Which do you think was really the most successful? The Lindberghs like secrecy about their personal affairs but really seem to be going a long way if they think the news of the arrival of a son can be kept from the public. That's news even when it happens at the home of John Doe or John Roe. The average graduate doesn't think he can lick the world. He hopes for success and thrills at the thought of receiving new experiences but he knows that much depends on "the breaks." If he is wise he will try to find those "breaks" for after all it's only part luck. The assessed valuation of Adams county real estate on which taxes will be paid next year is more than $200,000 higher than this year's valuation, a good showCHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

Ing and tho fine part of It Is that indications arc this increase win gain the next year. , Thirteen or seventeen year lo- ' cuata are to be with us this year, ' I according to experts from Purdue , j and elsewhere. Wo usually have some kind of pests to worry about ' i but after all we manage to get i along. By the way what ever became of the corn borer that was to destroy every thing within a ! few years? As a result of the recent floods work began this week on razing: 485 buildings in Jeffersonville, In-1 diana. Some will be replaced but In many instances the homes or busI ittess properties represented life ' savings which are gone. TKls city i is the worst hurt of any in the state as a result of the Ohio river rampage because of its serious I financial condition. The late Mr. Rockefeller who ( was for three score years pointed I out and listened to as the most successful business man in the world said once: “Persevere. If you make a mistake, remember that it is human to err. Try again and try harder,” and again: “I know of nothing more deplorable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the waking hours of the day to making money for money's sake.” New Jersey has just enacted a law which prohibits the sale of all' fireworks even including sparklers and makes it a misdemeanor even to have them in your possession unless you have a permit, which I of course you can't get unices you ' are representing a community or , organization and wish to give a real fireworks display. New JerI sey has a number of the largest factories in the world making fireworks, but the state has also had I the largest list of Fourth of July I casualties. They probably hope I ‘ other states will not follow their ' 1 example of safety legislation so ' their plants can continue. Something to thing about in this. —__ There are no bone dry states in the Union, although six of them permit the sale of only beer and i light wine. These six are Kansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Georgia. In many ' of the states the retail and whole- ' sale liquor stores are state owned ! and operated. Outstanding in this class are Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Sentiment in Indi1 ana has always been against the state engaging in the business, although it is just another form of regulation and revenue. Indiana I I gets better than $5,000,000 a year . from liquor revenue, which is divided between the state and . I local units. Every state that permits the sale of liquor is in the , business whether it admits it or ! not. —Hartford City News-Times. 1 The security and old age pension 1 laws are enacted by congress and 1 those now in force are good. So says the Supreme Court. The opinion read by Justice Cordoza declared that it would be impossible to have exactly similar laws in each state for these purposes and to have them different would not be fair to those states which offered the best recompense to the aged or nnfor- '' tunate. Now the laws will be strengthened from time to time | and eventually will provide a I safety not heretofore enjoyed by our people. It is doubtful if an- ( other depression similar to that we have recently passed through will ever be known In this coun- , try and certainly in a few years when the security and old age laws are functioning as designed, there cannot be the suffering and the hardships just passed through.

ASK EXPANSION OF PROVISIONS Organized Labor Seeks Expansion Os Social Security Act Indianapolis. May 26 -(U.R) —Expansion and liberalization of the social security act provisions were presented as organized labor's demands today to the national conference of social work. Extending coverage of the act to many classifications not now benefitting. decreasing the pension age limit to 60 years and increasing the minimum payment to 3:10 a month was proposed by I. M. Ornburn, departmental head In the American Federation of Labor, before a community organization section meeting Efforts of organized labor to meet threats of destitution In its ranks through various forms of sickness and death benefits have been “utterly Inadequate In the face of industrial crises and depressions.” Ornburn said. “Organized labor feels that coverage should be extended to every one who can possibly be reached administratively," Ornburn continued. "The forces which make provision of security desirable and imperative for 25 to 30 millions of workers are equally strong in their influence on the remaining workers, such as agricultural labor.”

Ornburn said present benefit provisions of the act are too small and the payroll tax is crippling on purchasing power. Mass organization behind American Legion projects was described to the same sectional meetings by Ray Murphy, Des Moines, la., past national commander of the veterans organization. Financial aid for mothers during periods of confinement, similar to systems now used in some ■ European countries, was proposed by R. Clyde White, professor of social economics at the University of.44ti«<Mfu. la an address before a section on public welfare administration. . He also urged extension of the social security benefits to widows incapacitated workers; farmers, without children; dependents of domestic servants, seamen, public 1 employes, social workers, religious workers and scientific workers. Mass unemployment must be accepted by the United States as a permanent covdition. Miss Joanna C. Colcord, director of the charity organization department of the Russell Sage Foundation, New York City, told the welfare administration group. She proposed a three-point) "lines of defense" program provid-1 ing; 1. “A combination health in- 1 surance with liberalized system of | unemployment insurance. 2. “A work program to be | headed up in a federal department j of public works, which should have I funds to distribute on a granls-in-aid basis to states and through them to localities. 3. “A federally-supervised and j federally-subsidized system of pub-' lie welfare which would provide relief on a budgeted basis accord-j ing to the needs of the individual or his family. R. C. Atkinson, Washington ' told the social action section that : malingering by applicants for un I employment compensation can be' curbed through work tests if all I benefits are paid through public I employment offices.
