The electrical and wind storms have been doing considerable damage this summer. No serious damage has been done, but crews of city and telephone workers have been kept busy replacing wires I and poles and restoring services. I There is no way to combat thej elements and when storms take: their toll, the next thing to do is to rephir the damage with as little | inconvenience to patrons as poss-i tble. More than 1,200 persons are etn- j ployed in local industrial plants, and the combined payroll is one' of the largest in a decade. With. heavy employment, it is natural that other conditions are good, retail trade reflecting the buying power of the man and woman who has a steady income. In addition the income of the farmer is better this year and the coming months should see much activity in this community. The County Tax Adjustment Board will have an important job! to perform when it meets next I month to review all the budgets, and proposed levies. The tax limitation law is more stringent and an actual emergency must exist before an increase in the maximum rates of $2 in town and $1.25 in the townships, over and above levies for relief and bond purposes can be made. The board meets September 13 and serves without pay. People fret too much. They fret about business, over what congress is or is not doing, over plans for their vacations, regarding their j children. They fret over death and taxes. They fume about 1,001 things which are not really of much consequence. Fretting is not thinking. A cool head is better than a hot one to handle any situation in life. Practice a little serenity and see how much better <

you feel. Remember the world has been here for a long time and it hasn’t come to an end yet.— Journal-Gazette. We don't know where former President Hoover gets his inspiration or zest to lead the Republican party after being repudidated . by the American people in one of the greatest landslides in history, but he's out with shop talk to revitalize the G. O. P. He's against Roosevelt and whatever the Democrats have done and offers a campaign of criticism through newspapers, magazines and over the radio in the effort to poison the minds of readers and hearers. This country has put the Hoover days back in the cupboard and hopes time will efface their memory and his leadership will be another dud as far as Republican success is concerned. You will see legislation introduced at the 1939 session of the state legislature to change Indiana s marriage license laws. Since Illinois and Wisconsin require a venereal disease test of marriage license applicants and a three-day interval i from date of issuance of the license i until the marriage, thousands of i couples from those states and Ohio I—which has the interval require ] I inent — have flocked to Indiana i where a license can be obtained j !by swearing answers to a few j questions. This has brought a rush] I of business in border line counties, | I but the public has been aroused, i ■William Black, Anderson, a mem-1 1 her of the Indiana House of Repre-, senatives, will sponsor a bill re-, ! quiring blood tests of would-be brides and bridegrooms. ! We heard several men talking ] 'about plans for future fairs, when and where to hold them and what I should be featured as special attractions. Nearly everyone agreed that the livestock and agricultural shows should be continued and developed to greater success. ■ Members of the 4-H clubs should ] be encouraged in their work and ; the efforts and products of the farmer should be acclaimed, it was unanimously agreed. Suggestions were made to other places of holding the fairs, locating the midway on streets other than Second street and in general a free discussion was held, including the suggestion that the fair be held later. When the Chamber of Commerce meets these opinions should be voiced and the most feasible plans fol- « lowed. Women are busy most every ] minute of every day with household chores, but do you know that Tuesday is one of the busiest days of the week for them. And it might also be stated here that their duties don't cease on an eight-hour schedule basis. Tuesday is “ironing day" in a majority of the homes and proof that the electric iron is
