LOWER: Thia community is shocked by the sudden passing ot William A. (Bert) Lower, a leader in the county, of wide acquaintance and over a long period ot years active In civic and business affairs. It seems Impossible to relatives and his host of friends that one so recently busy among them, is gone. The end catnv Saturday evening, utter an ardous and busy week and shortly utter he hud returned to his home at 334 Winchester street. Apparently without pain or suffering, he peacefully closed his eyes and was gone. A native of the comity, he attend cd school here, taught for a number «of years and was chosen without soliciting to be u deputy in the office of the state superintendent of public instructions, serving four years. Later he was honored by appointment as postmaster and for many years served us secretary of, the People's Loan & Trust coin paiiy and later successfully opei-j al,'d an insurance agency and became an expert in clerking public sales. In all of his public duties he mde good. Efficient, honest and thorough, he did every job assigned to him with a perfectness that attracted attention. Mr. Lower was genuine in the things lie did and took a helpful part In church, political, fraternal and civic affairs. Always interested in any thing for the benefit of his community he did much in the various campaigns along that line, was counselled frequently in the political affairs ot his county by district and state leaders and was in every way an outstanding eiti xen. The sincere sympathies of the community are extended to his devoted widow and to the numerous other relatives. His was a useful Itfe and there is a feeling of sorrow in this city and county that is deep and genuine A dose friend, a near relative and a high class ettixen has concluded his work and taken up his life in Eternity. It s hard to say ‘ good bye Ben." Needless to say this community is very happy indeed over the awarding of the contract for the eighty thousand dollar addition to the local G. E. plant. It is an announcement that meanssnuch to Decatur and to Adams county for it portends a permanency as well as an added employment oT labor Os course an industrial concern of this Mature also means many other things that count in making a progressive city an interest in local ; aff.iirs, a profit in the use of on: utilities, large railway shipments and Is' helpful In a hundred ways The new buildings will be built by the H K. Ferguson Company un dcr contract to complete it within right weeks which is assurance it will be all ready to go by the first of the coming year We are very grateful to the officials of the Genera! -tffiectric for their decision to continue improvements that added tv the other activities here will build a larger and a better city Decatur »0t grow ea rapidly as ”• i can keep up with the demand* tor i

I homes, for electric poWor and as long ax wo continue to cooperate with those who are investing here. | Thia II a friendly community in ‘ ! which those who labor und those ; who do buainoM here will continue to pull together, thus showing the world that It cun be done to the [ mutual advantage of every one concerned. lads keep up our good ! will and Golden Rule program. It's i pleasant and it's hearing fruit. I j Richard (Dick) McKinley, for II the past tour and a half years, director of financial institutions of Indiana, has resigned, effective November Ist, to enter private business. Under his supervision the new banking law of Indiana, considered the best in the entire country, has been put Into effect und much of the credit for its effectiveness is due this hard working and earnest official. Those who have had business with his office, know him as a pleasant hut stern, efficient and capable leader, who knows i banking from practical service and who worked overtime to complete a record that brought credit to him and to the state he loves. His successor has not been named. Many Decatur and Adams county folks who held acquaintance with the late Charles Weatherhogg, Fort Wayne architect, for whom funeral services were held today, were shocked and grieved by the announcement of his unexpected i death. For many years he had rated high in his profession • and (was recognized as an outstanding| citizen of his community, taking active part in many civic affairs. He served as designer and archl- ' lect for a number of buildings here including the Zion Lutheran church, the Old Adams County bank building and others. Now the partisan press in opposition to the administration is trying to sour tne newspapers by claiming the President Is against the prana. Well try to sell that to any of the Washington cwreapondents They will tell you that there has never been a chief executive who treated them with stub courtesy or frankness. The average newspaper doesn't feel that the President is "agin" the business. It is a pleasing coincident that the it K. Ferguson company of Cleveland, which built the original plant for the General Electric here, nearly eighteen years ago. has been awarded the contract for the big addition to be erected here at once. It is one of the most efficient and I dependable contracting companies in America and will do the job in the time agreed upon of eight weeks. A dozen safety signs have been purchased by the city, service clubs. Parent Teacher's clubs. Chamber of Commerce and others and will be erected at crossings near the various schools. Those should and mnst be strictly observed by the motorist that the safety of the boys and girls who attend school, will be protected It's very im|x>rtant. Business will make progress the next year if the people let it. The cooperation of labor, the buying public und capital is evidenced, we win have the greatest era in all time Os course if every ouc tights every one else, we won t make such a good showing, but at that it's going to be hard to hold back this nation the greatest in the world. • It you did not vote ill the past two years, you must register to be I eligible to vnie next year and that s a duty you certainly should not overtook. Whether you now intend to vote or not. you certainly want io be qualified so you can do so if you wish to. Os course it you have never registered, you »ill have to do so to qualify.

made up and a balance in the form I of a reserve established. Os course they have no copyright on such a desire. Everybody wants that done and the President has promised to balance the budget if it is humanly possible. Some idea of the tremendousness of lhe expansion announced by the Ford Motor Company plant may be had by considering that the forty million dollars to lie thus spent is about eight times the valuation of the entire city of Decatur. This newspaper wants to cooperate with the merchants, manufacturers and citizens in every way they can and in return we ask your reasonhle support so we can continue to tight for this, the best community in all the world.

The man driving an automobile should take Into consideration these possibilities, and j wherever children are iplaying in lots, school yards, or elsewhere, care should be taken while passing these premises.
