Monday will be another big day in Decatur. The government's unemployment census campaign opens Tuesday. If you are out of work or employed only part time, fill out one of the cards and mail it. More Armistice days should be | dedicated to peace. If all the countries were like America, we never . would have war. This nation believes in peace and wants peace. Decatur will wear its best smile Monday as the distinguished guests arrive to honor Dale McMillen and visit the local manufacturing plants- Every citlxen will make the visitors feel welcome. The work of building the addition to the General Electric plant is well underway. Foundations.are being poured for the wings and additional side tracks are being > constructed, it is a busy place and when completed will be one of the largest industrial plants in this ■ part of the state. You believe in (Tie Red Cross and its work. Every American knows the humanitarin acts per-' formed by the workers in time of disaster, it's a privilege to be enrolled in the organization and a dollar bill will make you a member for a year. If disaster struck this community, the first call would be to the Red Cross. This sounds like the prank of a real American boy. While the mayor of St. Louis was getting in his automobile, expecting to be the first person to ride over the i new bridge which he dedicated, a small boy scooted across in his wagon. You can't beat those fel-1 lows and after all that's what makes this country. ~ The balancing of the national budget doesn’t seem to be an idle boast. President Roosevelt and Secretary Morgenthau are making every effort to bring expenses down to the level of income and from the announcements being made in Washington, the unbe-1 lievable thing is about to be accomplished. The President in a recent statement said the budget would be balanced next July. The law governing making additional appropriations for funds in municipal budgets should be modified to allow decision to rest with the local governing body. EmergCHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are 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 one to route j two.

I encles like sewer and street re-i ! pairs, occur every now and then' ' and when they do near the end of i the calendar year, the appropriations for repairs are exhausted. I It is necessary to go through a lot | of red tape to provide the funds ‘ and in the meantime the improvements cannot be made. The legis-! ' lature should correct the law and ' place the responsibility back to the local community. The most important research j problem in the world, according to : Charles F. Kettering, world tain--1 ous Inventor and motor genius, is to find the answer to the question j of why grass is green, when he | calls the fundamental problem of J man's existence on earth. Mr. I Kettering is quoted in a current magazine as follows: “It seems so simple that people think I am joking, but I am perfectly serious. It is the green in grass, the leaves and in plants which has brought to us, from the sun, all the energy j we have. Some little engine in j the green of grass and leaf has the gift, unknown to man, of cap- 1 I turing energy from the sun's rays. storing that energy, building with I it." There is opportunity for the high school boy who is working in j the laboratory. Fortune and fame I i lie ahead for the discoverer of why grass is green. . John R. Tunis, well known Am- | erican author, discusses “Courtesy' in the Rotarian magazine. ' To illustrate that courtesy pays, , the author made the following point: “Courtesy not’’only gets business, it holds business. Ten years of sound business dealings have been spoiled by ten seconds : lof discourtesy. A corporation ex-; ecutive checked and discovered, | that his company was spending over half a million dollars each year to get new business, but al-1 most nothing outside regular channels to hold the business it had. He decided to spend $5,000 on an ; adjuster, a man who spent his whole time on clients and former clients, ironing out disputes, seeking causes of loss of business, and ' finding out whether the company's , service was satisfactory. In one year the number of customers dropping from this concern's books declined 62 per cent.” Take the “curt” out of courtesy and life will seem sweeter. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two !♦ ♦ 1.

NATIONAL MILK WEEK NOV. 14-20 Extra Glass Os Milk Daily Is New Dairy Industry Aim In the crowded calendar of national thiq-and that weeks. November 14 to 20 should be printed In white letters. For this will be National Milk Week, calling attention to man’s “most nearly perfect food” from coast to const i and from cow to consumer. Dairy organisations representing all branches of the industry who are sponsors of the drive th make the public more milkconscious point out that their product merits a national week to an unrivaled degree. There is nothing regional or seasonal about milk consumption. It reaches the doorsteps of the nation seven times a week throughout the year and the milkman is supposed to be immune to weather. The American system of daily ' doorstep delivery is one of the reasons that milk is the largest single source of cash income to the American farmer. The primary objective of NaI tional Milk Week is to start people drinking milk who haven’t been drinking it and to encourage existing consumers to take an extra glass daily. Os the six million farmers in the United States, around three million derive a considerable part of their income from milk production. An increase In the per capita ' consumption of milk would do more than any other single act to boost the farmers’ incomes and I bring a decided upward swing to ' national wealth and farm purI chasing power. Milk's relation to public health is also vital, a fact emphasized by National Milk Week programs throughout the country. From an educational viewpoint. National Milk Week will be utilized to give wider circulation to the recent discoveries of scientists on the importance of milk in the daily diet for people of ail ages. Dr. John L. Rice, commissioner I of health of New York City, states: "Milk drinking is an investment 'in good health. Almost everyone ' — adult and adolescent alike — I could profitably drink more milk. I I am glad to see that the fluid milk ' industry—producers and distribu- ! tors alike —are attempting to make I the American public mors aware of milk's value as a food If the in-

dustry continues to sponsor these i campaigns of health education annually, I think that much good will result." Milk as a source of energy, of body-building and blood-building minerals, and of indispensable vit- - amins, will be extolled in radio talks, in interviews with health officials and medical authorities, in public school programs and at meetings of club women and businessmen. Another development emphasized is the between-meals milk service in factories and commercial institutions. A glass of milk in the middle of the morning or after-1 noon has proved a boon to the health of industrial workers. Chicago’s milk week plans are representative of what will go on in hundreds of towns and cities I where newspaper advertising, car cards, window posters, parades, radio programs, inneheon meetings, bill boards and auto stickers
