Looks like the youngsters will* get a chance to use their Christmas | sleds and skates. = The three big shopping days for Christinas are still open and the i decal stores will be happy to take j care of your needs. — This is a good time of the year • to be careful about any thing that may cause a lire. It’s so easy to i start one with so much tissue! paper, cotton and tinsel about. Here’s a final reminder that the' very nicest gift you can give the folks away from home, is a years subscription to the Daily Democrat —only $3 per year in the first zone of 100 miles. Christmas greeting cards, a beautiful custom that brings cheer to t millions of people throughout the land, are crowding the mails just now and the next few days will be i “heavy” ones for Uncle Sam's mail i carriers. Along with the passing of the Central school house and its memories will go twenty beautiful trees, now being cut down, to make room for the new building. That's the way with this business of progressing. How many times do you look at the old town clock to ascertain the hour? Most of us don’t appreciate what a convenience it is until it is forced out of commission by ice I and sleet as has been the case the past weekA lot of fuss is being made about the part Mac West had in a radio program the other evening but you know that any one shocked sufficiently could have turned the dial and got away from it and the terrible influence. It’s the Christmas season, looks like it, feels like it and you can see it in the faces of the children and the grown ups. SantV Claus is on his way and it looks like a big, old fashioned Yuletide. Let's all be happy or as happy as we can. The local merchants will wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in Thursday’s issue of the Daily Democrat and we know they mean it. Read these messages for they come from your real friends. You may still give to the Good Fellow club if you wish to be a part of tbose remembering the, poor boys and girls of the com munity but you can't wait much longer. Please get your contribution in at once so it may be used to advantage. Wall Street reports a much brighter tinge to the markets, j

I While the rise is slow, there are i good indications, not the least of which is an increase in steel production and that's a barometor that the dealer in stocks always I has and probably always will bank ■ o». We hope the Chamber of Commerce, the county commissioners, .the city authorities and all others i interested in good highways, will include in their program for things 1 to be done in 1938, an understand : lug with the state commission and some work done on some of the j important roads and farm to market avenues during 1938. It can be done if we get back of it with enough enthusiasm. Roger Babson says "Cheer up” ! for every thing is going to be alright in 1938. In a clear and con- ; else article, which will appear in i this paper on New Y’ear’s Day, this I greatest business prognosticator I predicts that business will be normal early in the year and will con- ’ tinue to improve, making it better i than the average. It’s up to every one to get ready for a great big i successful and prosperous 1938. Central school building, a fifty- | two-year-old land mark is going out ; and in a few- days will be only a memory to be discussed by the. . coming generations. A large force j of men are now tearing at it from ’ ‘ the top and in a few days it will ;be a wreck. Most of our people I between ten and sixty years of age I attended this school at some time | I and a number of the elder citizens graduated from it fn the days w hen it was the Decatur high. The United States has lost aj great citizen in the death of Robert j Worth Bingham, United States I ambassador to Great Britain, pub-| i lisher of the Louisville Courier-' Journal and active in many business pursuits. He had served four j and a half years at his London : post and perhaps the best proof of i his ability as a diplomat is the fact that he transacted his duties in a manner that brought only praise from that nation and approval by this one. The Japs are making apologies to this country because of the uncalled for and inexcusable attack on the Panay and the damages so far as money goes will no doubt be met in full, but with millions of Americans, that will not suffice and the eastern country will no doubt feel the results in loss of business for years to come. In a number of large cities, demonstrations have been held hi which the feature is a bonfire of Japanese made goods. That may be foolish but it’s the way our folks do things and once started, such feeling is difficult to stem. An entire family and a couple of I guests were wiped out when their car collided with a truck parked ! along state highway 2, near Laporte. Harold Northam was driving his sister and her husba’nd, Edward Snyder and their three children to South Bend for the week end when they crashed into the truck. Jack Wetter, driver of the truck, claims his car was stalled and that he had protected the public by red lights as provided by law. Looks as though the accident should have been avoided but there are none of the occupants of the ill fated car left to tell their side , of the story. That crowd which delights fu destructive criticism of the national administration are now busy spreading the fact that the special session of congress hat, done nothing. It did just what the President intended it should do, disi cussed the farm, wage and hour, ! housing and other meusures and advanced them to where they can be quickly acted on at Che regular I session which convenes early in : January, and put them through I without tying up the session. No ' one expected a lot of legislation to i be shoved through in foU3' or fire | weeks. It just isn't done that way
