If such a policy is followed less trouble will result. Those big signs reading, “SPEED LIMIT 30*MILES,” mean that you should slow down to that speed in •the districts where the signs are located. It's smart to play safe. A welcome is extended to the new ministers assigned to this city and in the county. They will find their work interesting here, responsive congregations and the community a good place in which to live. To the surprise of many, school enrollments are showing an increase in many Indiana towns, including Decatur. In Indianapolis a gain of five percent is reported. Maybe the American family is not yet extinct. The fall calendar of activities is underway and in view of the heavy employment in industry, business should be the best in years. No town this size in the state has as large a weekly payroll as is paid out in Decatur and that mean& buying in the stores and other places. Expecting loyalty from political employes is not any more than business, large or small expects from its employes. No business can progress if its employes are disloyal. The cooperation of everyone is needed to accomplish results and maintaining an organization or commercial enterprise is a job where those employed must work for the success of all. More of the 20 and 30-mile speed limit signs have been erected in the business and residential districts by the civil works department. The signs don't do any good unless the individual driver obeys the warning. Decatur isn't so ■ large but that you can drive from one end of the town to the other in a few minutes, so take it easy and heed the speed limit, stop and go signs. The county council has completed its review of the county budget ' and some items have been pruned from the'appropriations, as always -in the case when the budget is submitted. The final action on «• budgets and tax levies will be taken next week by the County Tax - Adjustment board and those who **have acquainted themselves with preliminary steps wonder if the rates can be kept within the limits set out in the law. ■ • * ” About a column is devoted to 'the fact that the Duches of Kent CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

snubbed the Duchess of Windsor, better known as Wally, while the former visited in the vicinity where the American born woman and the former king of England are spend ing their honeymoon. An official statement was issued by the former crowned head. It all sounds a ; little silly and in this country might be classified under the plain ‘ terms of Just a family scrap. If your child is ill or shows | symptoms of an ailment which you ' cannot account for, get in touch with your family physician. Although there are only a few cases of infantile paralysis reported in the county, precaution is the best remedy in stamping out the dread disease. A strict quarantine must be evoked where persons are victims of the disease and the utmost care and consideration should be given everyone who might be exposed to it. Are all of these reports about seeing prowlers, to some extent, a stretch of the imagination? Or is it an epidemic of traveling around under the cover of darkness? Those who are doing it are taking a great chance of having their hides filled with buckshot, as several residents have taken a shot or two at supposed-to-be-prowlers. The police have issued a warning and qt the same time caution residents to be careful that an innocent person is not shot. To improve the circulation of the water in the mains in the south part of town and to safeguard against any lack of it, the city will drill a new well in the Homestead addition. It will be tied in with the existing main and Decatur will be assured of an ample water supply. Water is one thing which the public cannot get along without and it has always been the policy of the city to provide sufficient wells for a supply. It is necessary to drill down about 400 feet to 3 obtain a good supply, which inereases the cost of pumping and getting the water to consumers. 1 Another carload of newsprint, shipped from the International Paper Company's mill at Three I Rivers, Quebec, Canada, was un- ( loaded at the Daily Democrat's office yesterday. The large rolls entail careful handling and each is trapped with heavy paper to prevent puncturing or breaking of the edges, which make the paper unfit for press runs. There is acer- ! tain romantic picture connected with every car of paper. Native woodsmen in remote parts of the country cut the trees for the pulp I which is manufactured into paper i and then shipped to all parts of . the country, where the daily paper . makes it part of the modern world i and its pages become the recorder i of historic events, tragedies and ) every day happenings. The Daily i Democrat consumes about three r carloads of newsprint a year, em- , ploys 18 persons in the editing and j production of the Home Paper and has for one of its principle objectives, the serving of the reader with local and national news and t general community development, a o Answers To Test n Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed K | on Page Two ♦- —r— — ♦ “ 1.

I d Aside from its historical and, s archeological associations, Mounds , a state park is a delightfhl outing!« : place.

The area is noted | s for the variety of its plantlife and ■ r 1 its towering trees, some of which p | are unusually large. 1' riding stable has recently II I been enlarged to make it possible ■ for . a larger number of visitors to h i enjoy this healthful, outdoor recre- n , ation. Picnic and camping aread. o | located under the trees, are com- n pletely equipped tor the conveu- s

ience of the visitor. Shelter houses with fireplaces for use on chilly days, outdoor oVens with their stacks of firewood, picnic tables and benches, pure, tested drinking water and c her conveniences are provided. A playground with swings, teeter boards and other attractions, is located near the picnic area where the children can be kept under observation while at play. Meals and refreshments are served at the pavilion which also houses a collection of arrowheads and other Indian relics made in the vicinity. Attendance at Mounds state park has grown steadily in recent years, many of the visitors coming from outside Indiana to Inspect the mounds and to enjoy the scenic setting of the area.
