Recent reports show that the worst traffic accidents occur between five and six o'clock in the cities, indicating there is a greater rush to get home than there is to go to work in the morning. It won't be long now until the football squads are working out and immediately after the world series the gridiron heroes will be back in their own. And a lot of fans are hungry to see a ninety yard run. The chief of police of Indianapolis has asked the city council for a special appropriation of SBO,OO with which to instruct his police to aid -in prevention of traffic accidents. Chief Morrissey means 'business. ••■Read the advertisements in todays paper, remembering that it’s always best to patronize those who invite you to do so. They are the merchants who are not afraid to tell you what they have to back up their goods. . The fight against reckless automobile driving is not a legal one. It is being waged in every county in the state because the records for this year show that on the average, one person is being killed every twenty minutes. - The water lines in this city are being improved and new service lines added. You know’, after all. there is no public utility more important. Good water and plenty of i it is not only an asset but a neces- j sity in any growing city. ...Joe Lewis and Tommy Farr will settle an age old dispute tonight ftst fighter. If Farr can upset the as to who is the world’s greatest brown bomber it will be as great a surprise to the fight fans as was Baer’s defeat by Braddock. Fort Wayne and Indianapolis are working to get auditoriums where State or even national meetings can be held. Looks like Decatur ought to be keeping right up with the procession in this as we are doing in everything else. .' There will be a little politics the next year but jt will be amateurish compared to what will start in ’39 when the various groups begin to Jockey for position in the great fight for the presidency to come up in 1940. That will really be nomething to interest you. We haven’t really had much gennine cause to complain of the • weather in this section the past

year. Last winter was moderate and so was the summer. We have had severe storms and perhaps too much rain, but averaged up it hasn't been so bad. Statistics show that one third of all the fatal accidents reported, occur In the homes, due to falls, explosions or other causes. Using care and precaution, therefore, seems necessary not only on the crowded corners or while driving away tor the week end, but constantly and wherever you are. Senator VanNuys will not run as an independent and that announcement does not surprise his friends who have known him always as a straight, hard fighting Democrat. His address at French Lick this week will be heard and read with interest and will have much to do with his future no doubt. Democrats who gather at French Lick this week should remember that their Republican friends are hoping and praying that the predicted scrap in the Jeffersonian ranks will go on to such a point that they can't get together for next year's battle. If they can encourage that in any way, bet your last dime they will do it. Decatur will soon have a new traffic ordinance, approved by the state highway commission and it will provide for parking regulations that must be enforced. It seems to be the only possible way of solving the traffic problem here as in all other cities. Your cooperation in making the local ordinance effective is desired for it will make it easier and possible for those officials on whom the burden rests. In explaining the several recent deaths in middle west dance halls, it is stated we notice, that there is nothing so sensational about this but that “commonplace fist fights occur almost nightly in every dance hall in the country.’’ If that is true, it’s high time that those young ladies and gentlemen who call themselves respectable, begin to look for other amusement. Disorderly conduct is the surest way for any place to close itself. If the members of congress have not changed their opinions and if President Roosevelt still insists that certain legislations must be be passed, what's the good of calling a special session? It would only be extending a fight to no good purpose and we have a hunch that most of the gossip you read is from the special news writers who want more and spicier copy. It won’t be long until January and then they can go at it again. The building of another unit of silos at the soya bean plant will provide storage for more than a million bushels of beans and make it the largest plant of its kind in the world, an achievement that no doubt surprises every one for this plant has been in operation but a short time. Its growth has been marvelous and this community is indeed fortunate to have such an institution as a part of it. With this, the sugar mill, the Cloverleaf Creameries, the Mutschler Pack ing Company and all the other con cerns in this city and county which deal in agricultural products, this is sure to be recognized as one ol the leading communities of its kind in the middle west. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

Safety Education in Public Schools

(Editor’s Mote: This is the fifth I and last in a series of five articles ■ dealing with safety education in' the public schools, presented ' through the courtesy of the National Safety Council, and Indiana State Teachers College.) Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 26 — Psychologists often say that alii : children are born little savages to. be civilized, but they naturally possess a sense of fair play and give and take sportsmanship. The law of the primitive jungle often' is fairer than the conduct by sup-! posedly civilized persons in the ji jungles created by modern high-, ways. Dr. Olis G. Jamison of 'ndiana ' i State Teacher’s College, co-author !of “Safety Through the Year,”, forecasts that one of the most suecessful approaches toward curings the accident problem through eighth grade instruction in Indi- ’ ana schools this fall will be emphasis of the fact that in driving it is fair play and sportsmanship which count. The good driver realizes that the; pedestrian Is not as mobile as the automobile, but that he has his rights. Yet 40 per cent of the fatal traffic accidents involve the slow moving pedestrian. At the same time <the person on foot must realize that there are mechanical limitations even to the sensitive controls of modern autos. Although one-fourth of all traffic fatalities are caused by collision with other automobiles, and seven per cent by collision with railroad trains, street cars, and similar vehicles, a striking thing is that nineteen per cent of the fatalities are caused by accidents without any conflicting vehicle, and nine per cent with a fixed obstruction. Eighth grade students will be somewhat removed from the prospect of immediate driving. They will be instructed in the reasons for a minimum driving age requirement, and why this is neces sary for their protection. They also will be taught in the best methods for learning to drive. Studies have showed that children in the eighth grade are in many cases very judicial and circumspect .(Copyright, uted by permission of t from Nelson. Jamison.

URGES FARMERS AID IN SAFETY —. . I Highway Commission; Urges Farmers Clear Fence Corners 111 “* Indianapolis. Aug. 26 — Farm-, ers owning land nt highway intersections can aid the state highway commission in Its campaign sot * greater motoring safety by dealing fence corners and giving great-I er visibility, Earl Crawford, chairman of the commission, pointed, out today. Several accidents have j occurred at “blind” Intersections, during recent weeks, some of them ; resulting in fatal injuries. I Fields where corn has been. planted or others where weeds, have been allowed to grow up in ■ fence corners at highway intersec- ; tions are unnecessary hazards to i the safety of motorists using the highways and these conditions can be corrected by clearing the fence corners of weeds or crops. When side roads are hidden by ' tall vegetation, motorists are un . i able to see vehicles approaching I ! the highways and the driver on the side road must pull out onto the highway before he can see whether the road is clear of traffic.
