Most people wouldn’t want to be a barker for a Streets of Paris show. Another service rendered the public by city employes was sweeping up the nails on the streets, left by the concessionaires. Their thoughtfulness saved many a puncture and blow out. Chairman Fryback reports that the street fair will show a profit, exact figures being available about the middle of the week. The money will be placed in the treasury of the Chamber of Commerce and used for community purposes, | the decision being with the members. The city will be glad to act as host to the Spanish-American war veterans in August, 1938. The annual reunion of members of the 160th Volunteer Infantry will be held here and it goes without saying that the hospitality of everyone will make their visit enjoyable and worth while. Decatur is proud of the spirit which prevails in the settlement and reaching agreements between employes and employers. So far there has not been any walk outs and negotiations have been carried on without interruption to regular business schedules. This attitude reflects to the credit of all. Fall advertising programs of department stores are already underway in the cities and an optimistic outlook is shown everywhere. It's not too early to get the school wardrobe ready, tor the bells will be ringing in another four weeks. Watch the advertisements in this paper for new fall merchandise announcements. i A thoughtless driver suddenly stopped his car along the road making it necessary for the driver of

Somehow wo are a thoughless people, for the Toledo accident could have been averted as easily as not. The new bridge and road at Rome City will be appreciated by the motorists who visit this popular Hoosier resort. Formal dedication of the bridge took place last Saturday with Governor Townsend as the principal speaker and the interest of the public in the event was shown by the thousands who attended. It is an improvement of which the state can be proud. The public awaits with special interest the President's address on the night of September 17 when he speaks at a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution at Washington. The White House has let it be known that Mr. Roosevelt w'ill expound his views on present-day constitutional problems. Under auspices of the Good Neighbor League, hundreds of dinners wilt be I arranged throughout the country i that night where the feature will be listening to President Roosevelt I over the radio. As in the past the American people have demonstrated a keen interest and given an attentive ear to the President's talks. SAFETY WORK AT CROSSROADS: What to do with the injured fol- j lowing auto mishaps on highways | and rural lanes is becoming increasingly important iu gasoline-1 conscious America. “So long as people on the high- i , ways continue to be hurt,” says A. W. Knight, in the Rotarian ( Magazine, "they must be cared for. Not just when an ambulance and a physician are at hand, but at' once, there, at the roadside! Spurting blood must be checked, fractured limbs splinted before moving, shocked victims made to lie flat to conserve body temperature fast j fading from a retarded circula- ■ tion.” Thanks to the Red Cross and cooperating groups, roadside first aid stations attended by trained i humanitarians are administering < to the needs of thousands suffer-, ing from traffic accidents. Many. lives ate being saved and suffering greatly mitigated. "In the United States," contin-1' i ties Mr. Knight, ”tne American, i Red Cross, acting in cooperation ( 1 with the state and local police, public utility and other groups, has established 1,300 first-aid posts on through routes from ooast to coast. Not only that, but 3,500 ad- , ditional highway stations will soon be complemented by a mechanized army of trained first aiders regularly plying the highway on motor- i cycle, in police radio car and light
