Keep on boosting Decatur, its; industries, institutions and men and women who make up one of the finest communities on earth. Start talking about the Street Fair, agricultural and livestock show. The big week will roll around before you know it and the program will be just as exciting as you help to make it. Commander Earl Spencer, first ■ husband of Wally, now the Duchess of Windsor, is going to marry a rich widow. We sort of felt that j with all the free advertising that fellow got he would land some thing sooner or later. The public will be treated to a wonderful display of fireworks at Hanna-Nuttman park on Monday. July 5. The American Legion is . sponsoring the program and you, can help celebrate Independence j Day by attending the celebration. . The European war scare seems to be at fever heat and England is exerting every effort to confine the conflict to Spain. With Musso- J lini and Hitler in supreme command of troops and both sparring for position, anything is likely to " to stay out of the mess. The steel factories in Peunsy’-I . vania and Ohio are planning to' K resume operations Monuay and the , ’ call has been issued for the men j " to return to work. The dispute hasn’t been settled permanently, but the operators declare a majority of the employes w ish to go' back to work. The country hopes no further outbreaks occur. — It makes one shudder to read of ■ the terrible auto accidents and the killing of persons, who a moment | before were active, healthy citi- i zens. In the wink of an eye auto 1 tragedies remove them from the stage of life and we sometimes J wonder if the entire race will I eventually be slaughtered on the highways. What is the solution? Or do we want to solve it? Ohio is suffering from dangers i 2 of a flood. The rivers are out of' ‘ banks and damage to crops has already been reported in the low ' lands. This section of the country i «• has had more than an abundance * of rain, but the farther east you' go, the heavier the rainfall. It's ’ not the least bit encouraging, but: _ as is the case, nature has away * of mending itself and we are not i as bad off as first thought. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R.

Indianapolis has passed an ordinance requiring a license to operate a bicycle and fixing an annual fee of *1.36 ou each bike. Mayor Kern hasn't affixed bls signature I to the measure, but it is believed he will. There may be some argu- | meat in favor of such a law, but i gee. just imagine how some of the boys and girls will be kept awake ,at nights wondering bow they’ll j dig up the license tee. In rendering a decision for the defendant in a recent damage suit against the city of Decatur, the 1 court ruled that the city could not Ibe held responsible for every minor defect in the sidewalks. The city would rather have every walk in perfect shape and makes an effort in that direction. Notice ! is served on property owners to ■ reapir damaged or broken down ! pavements and it is up to the j ! owners to make the necessary re-' pairs. If your sidewalk Is in bad shape, see that it is repaired. Nearly every place you go you hear favorable and commendable remaks about Governor Townsend and the way he dealt with strike conditions in Indiana. People in j our neighboring states like his style and spirit of fairness, his de- | termination to enforce the law and to protect the public at large.: Governor Townsend is well grounded, is solid, has a lot of good sense 1 and knows when to use it. The I executive who is not afraid to do! his duty, is after all the one who ' is respected and has the most sue-1 ’ cessful administration. The American newspapers are j on the way back and when they , do get altogether back to the point i attained at the outbreak of the de- ■ pression, they are, generally speaking. all set to start out after new peaks of attainment in their sphere. Two hundred and seventy million copies of newspapers are read in the United States every week, according to Ayer's Newspaper' Directory. This compares ! with an aggregate attendance of 90,000,000 persons in cinema theaters. Newspaper circulation is j ■ 90 per cent of what it wqs before the depression and is gaining steadily. It declined from 300,000,-1 000 a week in 1930 to 250 000,000 in 1933, a decline of 17 per cent, but it has increased 20,000,000 a w'eek from the bottom. The American newspaper will always have its irreplaceable place. No other , agency or institution pretends to rival its function?. —Charlotte )N. j C.) Observer.
