Dog days are about over and it won’t be long until we will be wishing for just the kind of weather we are having now. . Keep the boys and girls in school is the heading of an advertisement by the Decatur school board and that is wise advice. At small cost the boys and girls can place themselves in position by completing their education, to earn more and do more. The CIO will raise $400,000 with which to fight the Ford organiza i tion and to compel them to enter the union. That amount might frighten men of less resources but it probably appears to be a very modest sum to the Ford officials. It should be remembered that no direct charges were made by any of the speakers at the recent Democratic editorial meeting. Principles of importance were declared and if In asserting these, any person felt he was hurt, that must be because the “shoe fits him.’’ - Schools will open next week and Uiis tveek will be a busy one for those who have postponed the job of getting the boys and girls fitted out for this very important season of the year. Decatur stores are prepared to take care of your needs with the right goods at the right prices. Charges and counter charges will of course only bring the issue among the Democratic editors of Indiana out in the open and permit the voters to make up their minds what they feel is for their best interests. One thing is certain, we can't ride two horses going in the opposite direction. Thomas D. Taggart is a great entertainer and those who have participated in any of the events held at his famous French Lick hotel are willing to subscribe to that fact one hundred per cent. There may be some differences of opinions as to other matters but there are none on that. Editors who gathered for the summer meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association were saddened by the death of one of its outstanding members. Johp Day DePrez of Shebyville, who had been a working members since b 904. He and Mrs. DePrez had packed for the trip to French Lick and had expected to go there Wednesday for a week to enjoy the big event. A sincere tribute was paid to Mr. DePrez who was recognized as one of the leading i citizens of central Indiana. Republican newspapers insist that Governor Townsend’s speech 1 at French Lick Saturday night was 1 a reprimand to Senator VanNuys. 1 Why? The governor did not mention his name and he has the right 1 to give his arguments to the pub- 1 lie and in that he will probably be 1 aided by Che G. O. P. press, anxious 1 as always to do any thing that will disturb and disorganize the D6mo- , cratfc. Senator VanNuys was in*

vited to the meeting and given a place ou the program. If he wish | ed to make a statement, he certainly had an excellent chance and he ■ till has it for the senator has ! many friends over the state who 1 have admired him for his demt ocracy. lie will gain nothing by lining up with the enemies of his 1 party. 2 The meeting of the Democratic 5 Editorial Association at French ? Lick Springs was an Interesting ) and important event. The keynote » for the next election —stand back j of President Roosevelt —was sounded by Governor M. Clifford Townsend and his sentiments were | cheered by the great throng of Democratic working men and women. In plain words the governor stated his position that his support would not go to any one who did : not wholeheartedly support the ’ greatest president in many decades in his fight for the great majority j ■ of the people. That the governor, ; is popular was demonstrated sever- . al times during the evening when j • he was cheered with an enthusiasm 1 that could not be denied. The entire program was excellent and the l editors enjoyed it to the limit as did the hundreds of leading Demo- j i crats from all over the state, who, attended. The resolutions praised the national and state officials for their excellent work and were adopted unanimously. It was a great j meeting and the work done there j will form the basis for the campaign of 1938. BERNARD T. TERVEER: The furthest thought from our j mind as we closed our ces'a for the week-end was that it would be our task today to list Bernard T. Terveer, wholesale hardware executive and kindly father as the victim of a tragic auto accident. Bernard Terveer was among the last whom we would include or t associate as a victim of the terri-' ble road tragedies which befall ; . communities and bring untold suf-) sering and grief to friends and rela tives. His own nature and habits 1 removed him from the picture of j sudden death. The suddenness of it all multi-1 plies the awfulness of the tragedy, j it shocks the human system and - reverberates throughout the entire j community spirit to have brought to its doors again the ghastly spectacle of seeing a citizen snapped from active life in the flash of a second. As was his custom, Mr. Terveer ; arose early to take a short drive before going to church. Confined all day to his desk it was a prae-; tice of his to seek a few minutes ot out door pleasure when opportunity offered and Sunday morning he more than likely planned a drive which would terminate at i the door of the church where he would give thanks to his God for ; the relaxation and rebuilding of spirit which comes to one through contact with shady road and open I country. Bernard Terveer was the only! son of noble pioneers of this com- i munity and aside from his capabil- 1 ities as an executive and splendid j citizen, he will always be remembered for his devotion to wife and family. His family circle home is where he found happiness, where j he excelled in all his duties and J sincerity. His ancestory bu?it around the home and Bernard Ter-1 veere's first thought and deed was in the interest of his children and loved ones. , His death of course is an irre-, pairable loss to the family. ever, his sons and daughters and j devoted wife can always cherish [ memories of a lovable father and husband, who by example exempli-: fled the highest standards of devo-! tion and fulfillment of parental guidance. We want to express our sympa- 1 thies. Our heart aches, we are sad, | but words do not seem to clear the channels for expressing heartfelt feelings.
