The Dionne twins are oniy three years old but have a fortune that > excels what most folks could have, if they worked three hundred years. It still seems a queer business that the Wabash river drain improvement can be made when the majority of those supposed to be benefitted claim they will be damaged. The race for membership be tween the United Automobile Workers and the Ford Company employes is getting so hot that higher powered motors may be considered. The usual list of casualties after a double holiday aud nice weather. Seems as though the law of averages makes necessary a large num ber of accidents when there are so many cars on the road. If it's the sunshine vitamins you want and need you will have a good supply the next three or four months. And they say a real sun bath each day for a few weeks will cure most any ailment. The next big and important sporting event of world wide interest will occur Thursday when Wally and the duke start a race expected to last through life. The "gate" has been badly hurt by the adverse decision of the English peers. Residents of Decatar Homesteads have organized a club and named it Booster's Club. We like the name and like the purpose which is to provide entertainment for the children as well as the grown-ups and to keep Homesteads a place of interest. Drop the teachers of your children a line and say thank you. They have successfully completed another year of trying, though enjoyable work and they will enjoy their vacation more if they feel they have pleased their patrons. It's tho flowers to the living that are really worth while. The acts of 1937 which are now out and which will become effective this week with the governor s proclamation is voluminous. While the recent general assembly did not enact as many laws as have some of the sessions, they seem to have averaged longer. The volumne contains over 1.6 w pages. The good old summer time is here and the barefooted boys with their fishpoles, baseball bats and other tools of pleasure bring back memories of happy days, when the greatest worries were what mom and dad would say when they somehow discerned signs to prove we had been in the old swimmin' hole again. With due ceremony Memorial Day was observed here, thousands

| paying respect to deceased relatives and friends with a program carried out by the Legion, Spanish American War Veterans and Auxilaries. Many came from a distance 1 to attend to the graves of loved ! ones and to join iu the day's ex- ,' ercises. ; The Church of God is growing, ' evidence of which is shown by the , fact that an addition has been i necessary and the newly re-model-ed editace will be dedicated with ’ appropriate services the 27th of i the month. We are glad to see this part of the community keep pace with the growth otherwise tor a good city always has schools and churches to match the requirements. Our congratulations to Rev. Marshall and his congregation. Those who thrill at dangerous performances had their innings at this year's speedway try outs and races. Even before the close of ' elimination contests two men had met death on the track and a half dozen had been injured. It was very exciting but it takes a strong constitution and a stout heart to 1 shake off these terrible accidents which of course go with contests as earnestly battled as are the speedway races each y<ar. The Title Holding Corporation of Fort Wayne, a real estate company, realizing the future needs and opportunities in this city, has purchased 132 lots in the northwest part of the city and will no doubt proceed to open a subdivision there that will take care of a number of people. We need houses here. Os that there can be no doubt for each day at this office and at every local realty company come numerous inquiries. With the outlook for greater need in the future as our industries expand.] some arrangements must be made. A large number of new residences are being erected now and we can use a hundred mere this year. It's a good sign. At this season of the year when the schools have closed or are preparing to do so. we owe a vote of thanks and appreciation to the faculty and the teachers who have devoted their ability, energy and t efforts to installing the knowledge of the school room into the minds of the children, the most important job in any community. We are very proud of the teachers of this city and county. They have maintained high professional standards and morale and as a result of their splendid work, we boast as good schools as can be found any where in the middle west. We know that task is not an easy one and that it requires great patience and a knowledge of human frailities and we respect those who devote their lives to this work. qAnswers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦- ♦ 1.

NATIONAL THEATER MAY DEVELOP FROM WPA FEDERAL DRAMA PROJECT

By JEAN AIXEN laterwatiMtel liiwrtrsted News Writer WASHINGTON, D. C — Most outstanding development in the modern show world is undoubtedly the WPA federal theater which recently became two years of age. It is of particular signifiear.ee for two reasons: First, it has brought forth a legion of new actors and entertainers, many of whom may prove the stars of tomorrow; second, it has developed a new audience whose awakening appreciation has been due directly to the fact that the federal theater has reached out to sections which have never before been tapped by commercial companies. Os coneiderable importance, also- ' is the possibility that this project, which started merely as a means at aiding unemployed actors and vaudeville performers, may eventually result in estabiishment of a permanent national theater with branches in centralized locations There has long been talk of a national theater, but the organization ] necessary to founding of such an, instittttion has been lacking. Now j it appears that such may evolve, fsem the WPA drama experiment | ?O0 Cacnpanies on Tour Just how much of ar. experiment the project was at the start is evident when it is considered how ilittle there was to guide the sponjsors in going about ■ their task Nothing before had been attempted ' < along this line. There was no ini, formation available on how many ’ actors and entertainers were unemployed. Tbere was also the difficult matter of obtaining sufficient plays and skits without incurring prohibitive expenses And still a third problem was to find auditoriums and theaters for the shows when they were ready for presentation. , In the past two years most of these difficulties have b»en solved The WPA. federal project today is ! functioning with unexpected sucE cess in 28 states.

STATE TO Hill FIRE HAZARDS Fin? Marshals Department To Condemn Hazards In State Indiana polls, June I.—The state fire marshal department is pro- ' ceedutg iu four Indiana cities today in a campaign to condemn structures that are fire hazards and a menace to health and public , safety. During the last four years, slums have been reduced In nearly all Indiana cities by the stale's drive to eliminate unfit buildings and by ordered repairs on others. Invited by local fire chiefs and building inspectors to make a survey, Ute fire marshal department makes a thorough investigation with the asautance of local authorities. In Terre Haute a clean up campaign is under way to condemn and demolish dilapidated buildings. Clem Smith, state lire marshal, said he expected 100 structures to be removed. A recreational center may arise in the place of flood>lamaged structures along the river front at New ! Albany as the result of progress made in the campaign there. In Jeffersonville, an officer of the state fire marshal department is assisting in a campaign to remove 500 buildings damaged beyond repair by the flood. Local authorities and WPA labor are co- : operating in the program. Ln Indianapolis, more than 450 vacant buildings have been removed in the last seven months, and the department is continuing to condemn unsafe structures. Buildings condemned by the department are fire hazards and centers of filth and disease. Often these deserted buildings are refuges of criminals. A beautiful river front stretches along the Wabash river at Clinton in place of unsightly and dangerqus Mlracxuriis as the resalt of a cleanup campaign there a year; ago. Families living in the structures were housed by local authorNEURALGIA Rheumatism, Neuritis, Periodic Pains. Arthritis, Lumbago, Neuralgia, and all aches and pains are quickly relieved with Alf s Compound Wintergreen Tablet. Positively guaran teed. Price sl. at all Drug Stores.
