DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY. DECEMBER 23, 1937.

ISBI -Au* TOM MADSEN sat beside the fireplace and gazed moodily at the blazing logs, as the sparks spiraled upward. Outside flakes of snow beat against the window pane to the chime of the church bells ringing peace and good will to all the earth. "Peace,” Tom muttered. "Was there such a thing on earth? Not for him, anyway.” He had staked everything on his boy. Been both father and mother to him—given him the advantage of the best schools, with a law partnership waiting for him in his own office; and what did he get? "Sorry to disappoint you, Dad, but I don’t seem to be cut out for law. Sally and I want to find happiness in our own way. I mean to buy the old Wormley farm and Sally and I will be married there, in our own home, Dad, on Christmas eve.” Young Tom had choked a bit as he saw the look on his father’s face —"l'm sorry. Dad; I do appreciate all you’ve done for me, 'but the hand writes and moves on,’ and it's all settled. Be a good sport, Dad, and come to our wedding and give us your blessing.” But he had turned on his boy. "Never!” he cried. "See my son married to a cheap dancer; a common’’—Young Tom’s face was white. "Stop, Dad, or I might forget you are my father”—and he had rushed out of the house. That had been three long months ago. An eternity for him. He had been too hasty; had been governed by his prejudices. One couldn't measure the present generation by the one of his day. Tom, Jr., was no fool; he should have trusted him to do the right thing; what right had he to interfere; to tay how any life should be lived? Suddenly he wanted to have a share in the joyfulness. He reached for his hat, but remembered it was too late for shopping, but there was his check book. What if Tom refused his tardy offering? The eager look died. There was a loud ringing of the door bell and the sound of rushing feet—the door was flung open. There was Tom, looking just like he used to when he came to him for comfort "Dad, we just have to have you. Sally sent me to bring you. It's Christmas.” Tom, Sr., held out his arms.

SAFETY DRIVE TAKES EFFECT State’s Traffic Toll Shows Decided Drop In November Indianapolis. Dec 23.—(U.RF- Don Stiver, stae safety director, report ed today that Indiana traffic fatalities during November fell off sharply under impetus of a vigorous safety campaign. November's death roll was 100. a decrease of 57 from October and 56 fewer than in November of 1936. Fatalities during the first 11 months of 1937 totalled 1,250 as compared with 1,173 in the same period of 1936. an Increase of 77 or 6.1 per cent. On a percetange basis, this increase may be interprted as an actual decrease, Stiver said, because highway traffic is 12 per cent greater than last year according to gasoline consumption and auto license figures. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend said November's decrease in deaths was the result of "wholehearted co-op-eration by the public and the new co-ordinated safety program.” At the same time, Townsend issued a proclamation urging Hoosier citizens to co-operate with the national safety council in reducing fatalities during the Christmas and New Year’s season. "I urge every citizen to be especially thoughtful of the rights of his neighbor on streets and highways, to drive carefully and cautiously, not to drive after drinking. an dto support law enforcement agencies in the strict application of all traffic laws,” Townsend said. Stiver's report showed that Fort Wayne was the safest of the state’s largest cities—those with a population of more than 70.000. South Bend was second. Evansville third. Indianapolis fourth, and Gary fifth and last. Among the next group, those with a population from 25.000 to 70,000, Lafayette had the safest record
