The special session of congress starts off with a bang that makes it appear interesting There is an earnestness that should result in good for the people. We believe it will. The Red Cross roll call is now being made. Adams couuty has always made good and will this year but we should make it as easy as we can for those who do this work gratis. Join now. Don't let another week roll by without joining the Red Cross. It's the annual roil call and those in charge with Walter Krick as the head, want to make this the best showing ever made in the couuty. The 1938 license plates will be ready for distribution December 10th and those who shop early will find it more convenient than waiting for the grand rush for you must have the plates by January Ist if you expect to drive with safety. The football season is about over with the finals coming Thanksgiving in a few centers. Now comes basketball with its thrills and yells and interest and good for four months round of interest. We love our sports in this country and it's great we do. Take care of your water meter and hydrant, is the request of Charles Brodbeck, the superintendent in charge. It's important for you, saving you money and much inconvenience. Be sure to read thq. advice and rules as published a tew days ago. Buying from strangers is often poor business as was demonstrated again a few days ago when a local resident paid a dollar for a bottle of perfume that he could haye purchased from local stores for,a dime. Do your shopping in thff local stores where you know yon get value for your money. Congress evidently will try to aid business, which is a fine thing, remembering of course also the rights of others. Usually in this country, we swing the old pendulum too far. It is hoped in this case they can reach a center point that will be just right. If they do, loc3r out for a decade of good business, better for every one. This is Thanksgiving week and we know how busy you are getting ready for the occasion but don't overlook the fact that it's also the buying season for fall and winte; and that much trading will be dope Be sure to advertise. Tell your customers what you have to attract them. They are in a buying mood and it's up to you to invitfe them to your place of business. The tax rate for Decatur will be 32.46 next year, a reduction by the stale board of one cent, over the amount fixed by the county board, i It 4s a reduction of twenty-eight cents over this year's rate, an ex-,i cellent showing and proof that so far as this community is coucofU- i ed, the new law which lifts muchi;

f - 1 11 - - IJ L "'"f lof the burden from local units, is working. The state hoard cut the rates in St. Marya, Wabash. Jefferson, Washington, Monroe and Berne. Regardless of all the planned "knocking' and fault finding of Republican politicians, .Mr. Roosevelt will continue as president for more than three years. And you , can bet your last penny he will keep right on fighting for the people. That doesn't mean he is a radical or that he will tight business or capitol but it does mean he will do his best to see that they get a square deal as well as labor, i the middle classes and every one else. The New York Herald announces that President Dodds of Princeton and President Conant of Harvard have been invited to accept the . post of chairman of the Republican committee of one hundred to form the policies and write the platform; of the next Republican convention. . WHAT? Surley that won't do, alter all they have sgid about the college professors and "brain-trusters of the Roosevelt administration. It 1 does seem that the only issue the G. O. P. is interested in is "getting the outs in." Governor Townsend is a friend to the farmer but that does not | mean he would do any thing fori them that he did not feel was fair and right- A committee from the farm bureau called on him the other day urging him to call a special session of the legislature to t remove from property all cost of administering the social security program. Governor Townsend , promptly declined to do so because , he did not consider it an emergency, and under his oath he cannot call a special session except when an emergency exists. He explained they had their opportunity when the bill was enacted and at that i time it was the general opinion that twenty per cent of the cqpt of carrying the security law should, be born by the counties. If there is need for a change of this pro-' portion, it should be more general- < ly discussed and taken up at the regular session of the General As- I sembly. as the executive sees it. | His position in this matter shows I < his loyalty to his state and his fairness to every one, regardless of < their interests. ! CAN'T PASS THE BUCK: Few of us have any adequate t realization of the amazing progress | ! that has taken place in making our t modern automobiles mechanically safe. Inventors and engineers have ‘ literally shot the works, all the. way from major improvements in > brakes and bodies, to relatively minor safety additions such as the . elimination of projections on in-1' strumeut boards. Similar progress has taken place in highway design. Non-skid surfaces have been applied, curves 1 made into straight aways, bills! flattened, and turns banked with slide-rule accuracy. And what are' the results of all this expenditure and time, money and ingenuity? A soaring accident record, and a death toll that approaches the 40,000 mark annually. The motorist can't pass the buck. Individual carelessness, individual incompetence, individual ignorance! —these are the prime causes of accidents. The most withering commentary that can be made on our driving habits is the fact that the great bulk of fatal accidents occur on good modern roads, under' favorable weather conditions, and involve cars in excellent mechanical condition. The proportion of accidents that are honestly caused by mechanical failure of vehicles or bad road conditions, is microscopic. Figures indicate that the 1937; toll will be even greater than the all-time record established in 1936. The most dangerous driving months are just in the offing, bringing with them shorter daylight hours, and snow and ice and rain. There is a very definite chance that you or I

Q Is it proper to smoke at the table, when invited to a friend's home? A. Yes, if the hostess has pro- I tided cigeraettes and ash trays. o / "N i r YkL* | aJ 3Y ft < 1 -Zj FRED W. BRAUN Ifc. 7 Safety Some drivers of automobiles feel that they must drive a car that has more horsepower than other cars. They feel that they must sit behind the wheel and drive an automobile as though it had 100 wild horses out in front of it running at random. Under the hood of every automobile are anywhere from 4 to 100 horses—docile and tamo in the hands of some drivers, but wi'd and dangerous to life, limb, and property in the hands of others.
