Join this week. —' A taste of winter this morning,, with snow and a temperature that makes us shiver for what will come soon. A marvelous plant operated by a bunch of wonderful fellows with Dale McMillen and Roy Hall at its head, was the verdict of the many visitors here yesterday. Most of the money raised by the Red Cross is retained at home for such things as are required during the year. Not a penny is wasted and the officials do not receive any salaries. Dale W. McMillen paid Decatur many fine compliments in his address last evening, as did other i speakers who knew the facts. We are happy to have measured up to their expectations in the way of cooperation. The special session of congress is on and while the solons may not accomplish much in the way of legislation, they should be organized to the point where they can step on it in January when the regular term opens. Unemployed or working part time only? Be sure to send in one of the postal cards questionnaires. It doesn't guarantee you a job but it does give the law makers in Washington the opportunity to know just how many m~st be provided for either by increasing production or by made-work. It was a great party the boys at the sugar and soya bean plants put on for their boss and it should inspire us all. In his response at the close of the program, Mr. McMillen said their motto was that, "each man tried each day to beat his own record of the day before." That's a fine spirit and is sure to win. It is mighty important that the national administration have an honest and complete poll of the unemployed of the nation. President Roosevelt wants it so that he can plan to take care of them in the most intelligent manner. Your sincere cooperation is desired and the President requested it in his Sunday evening fireside chat. Walter Krick who is in charge, of the annual campaign for the Red Cross is anxious to see this I year's roll call the best ever in the county. He has made an ex-. cellent organization and is urging each to see that his or her district is canvassed properly and as soon ( as possible. Make it easier for i these folks by having your dollar and pleasant welcome ready. Few people can remember a time 11 when hard pressed politicians actually made speeches designed to bring on a depression, but that has >

| evidently occurred the past few weeks. Sensible folks resent it and are so expressing themselves. The stock flurry seems to be over and if President Roosevelt gets his I building program going for next year, as now seems probable, you |can expect a tine, prosperous 1938. The Red Cross did a great work I in the flood areas last winter and the people responded to their call; splendidly. More than twenty-five million dollars, of which Indiana gave about a million, was con- I tributed and more than a million' people were cared for. The annual roll call of membership is now being made. U costs but one dollar and every one who can possibly spare than amount should be happy i to pay their dues. Governor Townsend, Lieut.-Gov-ernor Schricker and a hundred | other leaders of state and national | fame, praisefl Decatur and this community yesterday and last eve-. niug. when they gathered here for. the McMillen Day celebrefilon This is an agricultural center that is attracting attention from every where and we can all be proud of the fact we live here and are a part of a society which believes in a square deal for every one. = INVOICING LABOR SUPPLY: During this week postcards will ] | be delivered into every home in the nation. On it will be 14 ques - tions. They will give to the ad-1 ministration and the law makers the first definite invoice of the. labor supply. It will.be signed by the unemployed, and they will give also, the work which the unem- ( ployed formerly performedThe work is in charge of a Republican. That should answer any ! criticism that the figures, which will be made public around Jan. 1, are either padded or reduced. The I census, the first ever taken by government in its one-day survey, will give accurate figures. From them will be disclosed not only the total number of workless men and women, but the numbers who are available in every industry, business and profession. At last we will know how many hod carriers, carpenters, clerks, and stenographers are available. They will tell the story of resources, now unused. They will list the men available in every profession. Heretofore, legislation has been based upon guesswork. The number of unemployed has varied. At times, it was estimated as high as 15,000,000 and at the same time.' other estimates placed the number as low as 7,000,000. In this list also will be the names of those whose trades and professions have becomg obsolete by the new iuvenI tions. The drivers of horse cabs who have been unable to change) with the time to an automobile, will list that fact. So will those who once boiled sorgum from corn for the use of his fellow citizens. His j»b went with the manufacture by machinery. The work is important. Every citizen should aid in the gigantic enterprise. Nothing can be more important to the problem of unemployment than the knowledge of what those out of work are fitted to perform. At last we may be , able to plan with some certainty, the industries which the country can and must absorb. At last the government takes an intelligent interest in its jobless. o * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed | on Two 1. Macon, Ga. 2.

By Jean Prentice DEEP maroon hangings and up hclstery soft green and gold were not the only concern of a young business couple recently, when they redecorated the living i room of ’heir city apartment. They . aiso gave due attention to new lighting. Double-Purpose' Lighting They wanted decorative lighting for parties, as well as good reading light for the evenings they would spend at home with their books and magazines 1 This is how they accomplished both. Although new lamps were purchased in this case, any home can immediately use to advantage several of the principles of correct ■ lighting which they followed For the gre»n devenport, which | stands close to the wall, end-table

tioa as quickly as possible. Q ♦ Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee Books The dust on books should be removed with a feather or a brush. Using a -cloth will remove the gilt 'and cause shabby looking bindings. Black Felt Hats Black felt hats can be cleaned and freshened by using a teaspoon of ammonia mixed with one-half cup of cold water. Relish An excellent relish for cold meats can be made with mustard and horsereadish Mix the mustard, add equal quantity of grated horseradish which has been boiled ten minutes, then thin the mixture with a little of the water that was used . to boil the horseradish.

lamps were the best solution. Graceful ones with white china bases, were selected. These have inner translucent diffusing bowls to reflect the light both up and down, 100-watt bulbs for enough light, and wide white-lined shades for maximum reflection. Good Taste How is your own davenport lighted? Perhaps it stands away from the and there are no endtables. Then a large floor lamp, equipped with at least 150 watts and placed at the center back, is good decorative and lighting taste. (Providing the shade is light-lined and sufficiently wide.) The main idea is to have'smooth abundant lighting for the entire length of this piece of furniture, and not just for one portion of it. For the wing chair, exactly the right lamp was founds Below the . . '. T - •- • - e "y --■» —’

shade is a glass ball that echoes the roundness of the prized glass bowl on the drop-leaf table. The lamp, moreover, provides scientifically approved lighting . . . which was of course a primary necessity. There’s an inner diffusing bowl and a 100-200-300 watt bulb for flexibility (for the aforementioned parties or evenings of reading). Avoiding Shadows When ft came to the desk, however. note that the lamp has been placed at the left. This is where it should be placed on any desk, providing one is right-handed. The shadow of your hand will then go beyond your paper and not upon what you are writing. In this desk lamp, two 60-watt bulbs arg used. With this good lighting, letters to Aunt Mary or Cousin George are now easier tor this young couple to write . . . and the entire room has a new air of cheer.
