Last years meeting was a very happy one and it is expected that this one will be larger and more interesting.

The appointment of Noah A. Bixler of this city as a member of the state optometry board, has been announced by Governor Townsend and is pleasing to the citizens of this section of Indiana where Mr. Bixler is recognized as an outstanding member of his pros'. session. Its two months until the last day for tax paying but it will prove more satisfactory if you get in as soon as you can. The officials in the county treasurer's office will have more time to wait on ; you and you will avoid that final I rush that always occurs the last few days. “No one ever gets any place in politics, trying to get even with some body.” says James A. Farley and he is correct. Building an organization for next years election i is on now and this advice from the commander-in-chief of the Democratic party so far as the field fighting is concerned, can be well. taken. Over in Kosciusco county, the welfare board has dropped from the pension rolls a man who used the money he drew to buy liquor and a check of all others on the list is now being made. Certainly it is not expected that the pension money can be used for any other purpose than the providing of necessities of life. We have heard complaints from several sections of the city against those who arise early in the morning and turn on the radio so loud as to disturb the neighborhood. The spirit of a good neighbor should be sufficient to gtop this practice when it is called to the attention of those who thus amuse themselves. The radio can be enjoyed i more when throttled down to a ! point where it doesn’t deafen the 1 listener. i

Senator Sherman Minton of Indiana is receiving due honors these days and is recognized as one of the senate leaders, though he has served but two years in that great CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers aie 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. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route ona to route two. . . . _ . _

He sailed this week for Europe as a delegate to the Interpftrlinmentary conference and he has been chosen to succeed Senator Black as chairman of the lobby investigating committee, two posts as important as any given out recently. The new parking ordinance, if aud when adopted, it should be remembered. is for the protection .of the public and will only benefit > if every one enters in to the plans ' for making traffic safer, better and more convenient. It’s a shame that : often it is impossible to drive up Ito a store to load provisions or other merchandise, without violating the rules or laws. The only way to stop that is to have a limited parking and enforce it. With the endorsement of Senat-. ors VanNuys and Minton and Governor Townsend. Paul V. McNutt no doubt feels he has a good start in the race for the Democatic nom-' ination for the presidency in 1940. There has never been any doubt that Indiana would support the high commissioner if he throws his hat in the ring but the unanimity now shown is encouraging to those who hope the Democrats of the state will get together for a real battle in 1938 as well as in 1940. The sudden death of John Day DePrez, for forty years editor of the Shelbyville Democrat is a shock

to his thousands of friends over ■ the state. Few men were better ’ known or more highly respected. ; He was an earnest, hard-working and capable Democrat, a newspapI er man of recognized qualities and in every campaign for matters of public interest, was consulted and called on for assistance. The newspaper fraternity of Indiana has lost one of its stalwarts aud his passing has caused much sorrow. The Indiana state police system is getting to be a pretty tough hurdle for law violators. And should be still tougher after September 1. An incident which occurred here yesterday illustrates the point. A motorist struck a bicycle and then went on without stopping. The accident occurred at 11:15 a. m. Notice of it was on the state police radio at 11:25. The motorist was caught at Greenwood and arrived back here ip custody of authorities at 1:30 p. m. The whole thing took only an hour and 15 minutes, including a round-trip drive to Greenwood.—Columbus Republican. Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, is urging the teaching of temperance, patriotism, the Constitution, conservation, the Bible and other subjects tending to mold children's characters and his message will be given over and over in each of the teacher's institutes in the state. It is a fine ideal and we are sure will meet approval from every good citizen. The school room is the proper place to start the boys and girls to thinking right and we have perhaps neglected to a great extent the emphasizing of these subjects now brought forward by Mr. McMurray. The improvement at the General, Electric plant in this city means much to future Decatur. Besides the fact that it will increase the force and step up production, it s also a recognition of this sac-

tory and the intention of continu- ' ing its progress. The new additions. to the north and south sides and the large one to the east to I house the railway siding, will enable the company to increase production considerably and to work to better advantages and will make this the model plant of its kind in the country. Decatur is proud of her industries and the General Electric, now employing more than six hundred people, is one of the top ones. It is gratifying that they are taking this great step ahead and the community again pledges itself to continue the fair treatment accorded in the past. . — 4
