It was a great Thanksgiving Day. Start your Christmas shopping. You can buy what you want from the local stores, have it laid away and he assured of getting the choice selections and avoiding the final rush. Now for Christmas. Thanksgiving is a great occasion for the entire family but of course there is) nothing to equal the joys of Christmas for the youngsters. Get ready , for a pood time. ■ Miami is Planning to take care of three million visitors during the winter season and anticipate the tourists will spend something like a hundred and fifty million dollars. That's one way to spread incomes. Times are good. Os course there has been a let down but it's temporary and will soon be straightened out. Leaders in all lines, heads of labor organiations. the public i in general, are striving to do their best and with that in mind, we can't help winning out. ; Folks who live in Adams countyshould be thankful they don't have their investments in the city of Chicago where the tax rate for next year will be $9.52 on the SIOO. That's really getting it up where it, hurts and in many cases will probably be confiscation. Have you joined the Red Cross? It's a fine organiation of men and women who give of their time and ability to render aid when it is needed any where in the United States. You all know the story. Join now and help make up the SI,OOO quota for the county. • One of the new plans of Presi- ! dent Roosevelt to revive business; includes a building program. Arrangements are being made where those desiring to build homes may borrow from the government at low interest rates and can get 90% of the cost. In other words with SSOO you can build a $5,000 home. Indiana state parks admitted more than a million visitors the first ten months of this year and one of the features was the high percentage of people from other states who visited the various parks. They liked them and will tell their friends and the conservation department expects next year's attendance to even exceed this. > 4 President Roosevelt is a wise administrator and just now is devoting his time — not to playing politics—but to relieving the pressure from business, so it can go forward. His program is pleasing to those who take time to learn about it and who are inclined to be fair. The year 1938 will be a good one. If you figure otherwise, you are wrong. At this Thanksgiving season of the year, we should all stop to consider and be grateful for freedom to worship, to speak and to 1 have our own ideas of government!.

i and proceedure. That’s the foundation of America and we will not ! lose it. We can do our work easier ■ than a few years ago. there is plenty in this country to eat and wear and we can make our own 1 life about as we please. Two movements every right I thinking citizen can applaud and join in are those to stop the flood > of obscene publications on some I magazine stands, and to oppose * the “marriage-mills" of some of ) the border counties, wherein young ’ couples are alleged to come, sometimes under the influence of liquor, and be wed under unwholesome conditions. In 1935 the legislature , passed the “heart-balm" bill which has been widely commended and copied by other states. At the next session it should complete the revision of the domestic relations law with enactment of modern, model marriage laws.—lndiana Civic Digest. i William Douglas, chairman of the security and exchange com- ; rnittee for the government has • ordered the New York stock exII change to reorganize in such man- ’! ner as to better serve the public ‘ or face wider regulations. It's ‘ high time, it seems to the average person, that something be done to prevent that little group of commercial investors from upsetting business whenever they so desire. •In 1929 the start of the depression was in Wall street and the recent 1 recession or depression or what- , ever you wish to call it, was the direct result of several flurries on the curb. So far as the public can figure it out, there has been no need for any let-up in business but for some reason prices of stocks have dropped far below- actual worth, affecting everything else. They should be glad to cooperate with those trying to make this a substantial and a good country in which to live. State's Attorney Thomas J. Couiiaejg «jof Chicago, cut loose with an interesting idea recently when he suggested that the nation establish special Civilian Conservation Corps camps to restore youthful criminals to good citizen- ■ ship. Mr. Courtney's point is that the CCC camps, with the discipline, good training, outdoor activity: and moral-building routine which they offer, have already done a tremendous amount of good among city youngsters who might otherwise have slipped down into careers of crime. Extend the idea, he suggests, to take iu delinquent l youngsters, for whom now the law usually makes no provision at all except imprisonment with hardened adult criminals- It is his belief that the annual crime bill would Ire cut in half. The idea is certainly worth a good deal of study. Obviously, such camps as he suggests would have to be distinct from the ordinary CCC camps, whose enrollees are decent, law- , abiding youngsters; but a special group might well be set up, to try I to reclaim the lads who otherwise will be the holdup men and gangsters of tomorrow. — Hartford City News-Times. o * * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.
