You know summer doesn't really start for a few days yet according to the calendar. Our sincere congratulations to each of the 284 boys and girls who will receive grade diplomas at Geneva tomorrow. It's a first victory and prepares you for others to come. Every body here is ready to extend a hearty welcome to the firemen and the Boy Scouts as they arrive for their meetings. Three cheers for each of them. They are real folks. Rev. Graham of the Methodist church here, a member of the De-, pauw University board of trustees, is attending the Golden anniversary of that famous old college, < being held this week and culminating with today's ceremonies. Its a great occasion that will be enjoyed by thousands of alumni and supporters of the school from every State in the Union. Married women teachers are entitled to the same salaries that unmarried women receive, accord: ing to a decision by the supreme court of Indiana, reversing one from the Laporte circuit court at Michigan City. The opinion held that a teacher’s salary can be established only as to grade and her status as to being married or single could not effect her wages. The statement by J. P. Morgan that “taxes are a legal and not a moral issue'’ has rebounded and the iireat financier has issued a new one in which he says he is not in sympathy with taxdodgers or evaders. He does not believe' that after one has paid all he owes' hq should be persecuted and that's true. The question of course is whether he paid all he owed or not. The state of Georgia, long recognized as one of the dryest in America, has again voted to continue in that column, but by a tight squeeze. For several days it looked as though the wets had come through but the rural vote overcame the lead and the drys won by about 7,000. The problem is an aged one and will keep on bobbing up through the years no doubt. Parking in the centqr of streets? even those unusually wide as at Portland, is being prohibited by ordinance, the. state department of safety holding that regulations cannot be enforced when this is permitted. They advise “no parking'' in congested territory, permitting people to drive up to a place of business for a few moments only. If a fixed time is provided, it will be abused, t||ose who have had experience, claim. After five years. Elver Foreman of Fort Wayne, has been convict ed of auto banditry and faces a ten to 25-year sentence. It was

shown that in August of 1933 Mrs. ( Amanada Ayers of Blue Creek township was bound and gagged and threatened with torture unless she revealed where she was supposed to have a large sum of money hidden. Neither the defendant or his wife, indicted for the same offense, took the stand. Prosecutor Voglewede conducted a vigorous and capable presentation of the evidence and deserves cred-, it for victory in an important case.' The way to stop crime is to punish | those who engage in that kind of life. Welcome Boy Scouts, we are all for you, recognising that in a few years you will be the bosses of the land. An interesting program has , been prepared and we are sure you will enjoy your Camporee in Nuttman City Park, a spot of; natural beauty where the birds live I and where any nature lover will be impressed. Decatur is for you. I and each citizen here is anxious to extend to you every courtesy possible that you may like this community, wish to return and profit by your session. • Have a good time, obey orders and be good scouts and you will not only be happy but you will succeed in life. With red, white and blue decorations. with everybody in a good humor, with bands playing and plans completed Decatur welcomes the Northern Indiana Firemen's Association, opening a two day session here today. The program will include many events of interest not only to the visiting delegates but to all others who will attend and the public is cordially invited. These volunteer firemen ■ are the fellows who have for years served their communities in the dangerous business of fighting j fires. They have done a great job and will continue to give their best. We hope and believe they will have a good time. Welcome fire laddies, the town is yours. Rain ana then more rain prevented the annual peony show at Van Wert from being the greatest event of its kind ever held in the entire country. They had the program ready, thousands of people were gathered, celebrities from far and near were present, fifty bands and as many beautiful floats were in the water soaked parade, a beautiful young lady was crowni ed queen, the peonies never were more profuse or beautiful and it’s just a doggoned shame it had to rain and spoil the occasion for many thousand people. Even with the bad luck, it was a great affair and the supporters of the event are not in the least disheartened. Next years show is to be bigger and better than ever, according to Paul Sullivan, commentator from WLW who did the announcing. New traffic regulations are necessary here as they are m every trade center in America these days as the number of cars inI crease. The committee to whom has been assigned the job of studying and recommending such changes as they believe will help, is acting in good faith and will appreciate suggestions now. Once the recommendations are made and ordinances adopted by the city council, the cooperation of every one is needed to make it successful. The regulations must be made for several reasons: first—to protect the pedestrian; second —to avoid congestion: third —it's the only chance we have to continue the state highways through the city. If we do not meet these requirements between now and the first of the year, it's certain the routes will be changed and peri haps may be located a mile or two from the city. It's time to act and we should be wise. — o Parents’ Discourtesy Decried CLEVELAND (U.P.) — Mrs. i William P. Leffler, new president of the Akron Deanery, National I Council of Catholic Women, thinke meet parents are discourteous to their children. She saye plain common sense is the most important factor in bringing up a family.

WELLS CHOSEN COLLEGE HEAD Herman B. Wells Named Acting President Os Indiana U. Bloomington, Ind., June 11.— (U.P.) —Herman IV Wells, dean of the ■chool of buatnoss admlnfstrat'on. late last night was chosen acting president of the University of Indiana until a permanent successor is chosen for retiring President Dr. William Lowe Bryan.

Smith, dean of the school Os education That Wells’ appointment may not be permanent was indicated in a statement issued after the meeting which said: “The board of trustees is taking immediate steps to select a permanent president of Indiana university at the earliest possible moment.” This revived reports that former Gov.

Although McNutt said when he ieft the United States that he would serve “at the pleasure of President Roosevelt,”
