To drown or be eaten by sharks 1 first, might have been a choice, which Miss Earhart and Navigator Noonan were forced to make. Don’t lose faith in your OWK town, its people, institutions and industries. A family cannot rdf along without team work and cooperation and a civil unit is no different from the small family gathering. The Loyal Order of Moose will entertain their families at a picnic Sunday at Sunset Park. Special treats will be given the children and the event which has proved so popular in past years promises to be an unusually happy one this year. This community lost two splendid citizens in the deaths of Thom- j as Jefferson Rayl and Ira Wagoner, retired farmers, who through the years contributed their bit to the developments of tho community and building homes. Their host of I friends regret their passing. The water department of the City Plant will extend mains and. make orther improvements to the lines, labor being furnished by the WPA. A project in the south part' of town has been approved and work will start this month, service ? to the patron being improved through the elimination of deadends in the circuit |

But the real cross-section of life is found among the ad pages of this newspaper. Here are folks who are building, furnishing and keeping homes. They aze feeding, clothing and training children. Homes, homefcfks and home children give us the true picture. The folks who read our ads are planning for a better tomorrow. A better tomorrow for them means a better tomorrow for our advertisers ... and they will be alive when a new book is displaced by some other sensation Aditorio! hy *'******************,M*MA»%m*

What seemed to be a perfect marital match a- few years ago has gone the way of other romances where people of national prominence play a part. Helen Willis Moody, retired queen of the tennis I courts, has gone to Reno to take a six week's residence with the Intention of dropping Moody from ■ | her name. A famous woman who ! did not find happiness In marriage. J 11 The state's 24 million dollar surplus will not be dissipated or ' spent foolishly. Governor Townsend will see to that. The state’s ■ 15-cent property tax might be eliminated or more money sent to schools for payment of teachers. It's not a crime to have a cash balance in the treasury and no one doubts but that good will result from the splendid financial condition enjoyed by the state. Governor Townsend has reappointed Dr. C. B. Coleman, state librarian and director of the State Historical Bureau, and Dr. Charles i Kettleborough, director of the ‘ Legislative Reference Bureau. Both I are outstanding in their field of work. Mr. Coleman has been with I the state since 1924 and Dr. Kettlei borough has been employed in I legislative department since 1918. They are authorities in historical and legislative matters and their appointments will meet with popu--1 lar approval. The closing of the carnival, following investigation by Sheriff Brown and state police officers i should be a warning to other outfits of this kind that this community does not want them. We don’t lack means of good entertainment around here and certainly a carni- 1 val company doesn’t add anything to the uplift of community life. The company was located outside the city limits and was closed when the sheriff and officers were convinced that gambling devices were being operated. ' Additional protection for school 1 children riding in school busses is provided in an act passed by the 1937 legislature. Drivers of school busses must come to a complete stop and investigate to determine j whether any train or car is approaching before crossing a railway track. Penalty for violation 1 of the law is a fine of from $25 to $l5O, to which may be added imprisonment of not more than six | months. Drivers of school busses ! must be 21 or older, have driven a car for two years and passed both a physical and a driver’s ' examination. If the applicant has been the holder of a chauffeurs license during 1935, 1936 or 1937 and has passed a physical examination he will be given a public passenger chauffeur’s license. Don’t be surprised if you see . some legislation at the 1939 General Assembly to prohibit sale and discharge of fireworks. Michigan has a law prohibiting the sale of fireworks, but they may be bought outside the state and exploded. Members of the New Castle com- | mon council voted five to one last . week to enforce an ordinance passed 20 years ago against sale and , discharge of fireworks. Business men of Kokomo have presented a ' petition to the city council asking passage of an ordinance outlawing promiscuous sale of fireworks. The , Kokomo plan would be to prohibit selling or exploding fireworks with- ; in the city except in connection with public celebration. A statewide law against fireworks would j rob youth of one of its greatest pleasures, but there would be less j jangly nerves of their elders.

I REPORTS TO BE I; FILED JULY 31: State i — jndiauapolis. July : benefilt accounts ! •Uta's 635.000 employes C° ve J®“| by unemployment compensath n have been set up by the state u ( olnpl oyment compensation divisFon., according to Clarence A. division director. The will be used as a basis for coniputj ing benefits for eligible who become unemployed after April 1 next year, when benefl first become payable under the in diana law. .. Establishment of accounts for an covered employees is as rapidly as employees earning reports are received from employers subject to the law, Mr. Ja<*son said. Earnings reports have been received from approximately. 90 per cent of employers covering their employees’ earnings for t e first quarter of 1937. Earnings re-1 ports for the first quarter now are , overdue, and forms for reporting, second-quarter earnings have been , mailed by the division to employ-1 ers. Reports for both the first and second quarters must be filed with the division by July 31. Mr. Jackson said. He stressed the fact that separate reports must be filed for each quarter, due to provisions of the Indiana law which base benefit rights on quarterly earnings. This requirement, he pointed out, is different from that of the federal government for old-age benefits purposes, which calls for earnings reports combining the first and second quarters of this year. Social security account numbers are used to identify employees and must appear oa the unemployment compensatio nreports as well as the federal reports, it was explain- ' ed. . Employers of eight or more per- | j sous and their employees are covI ared by the Indiana unemi’loyment t compensation law. while einploy- >' ers of one or more persons are l subject to the federal law relating 1 to old-age benefits. i 0 ; MORGAN PLANT *.<3>NTjNDEr‘ HjOM rxQB ON.!??.- • rendered peacefully to police on 1 advice of Homer Muchmore, sccre-
