Only a few more days in which to get your 1938 automobile 11-1 censes and plates and the sooner you get in the better it will be. It's not too late to send the, Daily Democrat to some of the ■ folks who are away. It makes a fine Christmas gift or is just as j nice for New Years. Read tomorrow s edition of the i Daily Democrat with its scores of greetings fom business and professional people of Decatur. You will enjoy them. Remember we want more improved roads for 1938 and that this is a program in which every citizen may join, because the greater interest manifested, the easier it is to convince the state highway commission. If you have some money left after your Christmas shopping is done, it might be an excellent idea to join a Christmas Savings club so you will be all ready for next year. Those who have used this policy in the past are the best boosters, we are informed. The Good Fellows club continues to grow as many hand in their envelopes at the last moment and don't misunderstand those in charge, they are just as glad to get it now for they will use it to help the poor boys and girls have a Merry Christinas. They appreciate itThe state tax board has approved the program for financing the new school building here and has held that it is needed, thus disposing of the last detail for proceeding with the work. It looks now very favorably that the work of construction can start January 4th as planned. The supreme court has held that wire tapping by federal "G -men in investigating crime is not permissable under the law and that therefore evidence thus obtained is not admissable. That is reasonable but it will make it next to impossible to uncover some of the crimes committed by the smooth boys. Congress is concluding the special session, permitting members to go home for Christmas a ten-day rest before beginning the regular assembly early in January. They are doing every thing possible, as they see it, to keep prosperity and while constructive criticism will help, the brand used by the average politician is harmful rather than helpful. The Armour Company shows a net profit of some eight million THS

I dollars after paying all taxes, ini terest, expense and salaries, indicates that business has not been so bad for them. However that's not as good as it may appear for i to earn that they had to have a * very large capital investment and I do a gross business of some three t hundred million dollars. L j After reading the dally reports of Dorothy Thompson, David > ] Lawrence and others who make • more money by having decided I opinions on every problem that ’ comes up. we wonder how much I better they could do, with all their . wisdom. Chances are if they had ! the chance the other writers would be taking them apart as they do I those now in charge of government. The Japs deny that they machine guntied the Panay, but some how j or other the world believes the report made by the American offi- : cers. They would certainly have no reason for misstating the factsThose who engaged in the attack have evidently discovered that : they are not fooling with the Chinese when they thus commit murder for that's what such a ! massacre was in plain words. The local friends of Miss Gert- ■ rude Barber, and they are numerous, are very happy over the honor ' paid her on the “outstanding women of Fort Wayne" hour. For . many years she has proven her worta as a professional nurse and as superintendent of the Irene Byron hospital, has performed a service to the people of the northeastern part of Indiana that deserves recognition. A splendid lady who has devoted more than two score years in rendering aid to her fellow men and women, Miss Barber Is a lady of this community, her native home, may well feel proud. We extend our sincere congratulations. . Governor Townsend believes in Indiana and has been selling it the past year, with the result that the city of Indianapolis has secured several great industries that will employ thousands of men. Recently he called a meeting of two leaders from over the state and presented to them a picture of opportunity that should bear excellent fruit the coming year. The governor pointed out that Indiana is really a great state, centrally located, with wonderful facilities of every kind and with a labor I situation unexcelled any where in America.. Gutside industries, studying the location of branches or factories, are easily sold and the governor believes that numerous and varied industries may be brought to this state, aiding every one in many ways. | President Roosevelt has added his voice to the plea for nation!;Wide effort to cut down the traffic toll. He has indorsed the appeal of the Naticmal Safety Council, which is conducting a campaign to save lives during the holiday festivities. There were 4,290 people killed in traffic accidents in this country last December, the highest monthly total in our history. That sho’>.J -mt be permitted to happen again, and will not if drivers use caution. The increased liability to ( accident is cited by the President tn his letter to the head of the safety council. People throng the r traffic centers in city and country. They are generally in a hurry and ’ - I in a spirit of care-free thoughtlcssI ness- They should exercise more than ordinary caution in order to offset the exceptional hazards. It is not a problem for the motorist ■ alone. The pedestrian should be , alert and do his or her part to / promote safety. The need for ex- ■ tra caution cannot be denied. The records show that December is a month of high totals in traffic fatalities. It also is the month of the unusual activities to which the i President has referred. All should j co-operate in seeing that the season is not made less merry by traf-: I sic mishaps. It pays to be care-
