Read them and cooperate for a safer traffic. Resolve to smile, to work a little harder, to save, to try, to make j 1938 the best year ever. Al Smith made a New Years resolution to reduce the number of cigars he smokes, from fifteen a day down to ten. which looks like a very conservative resolution. A lot of things happened in ’37 and a million tilings of interest will occur In '3B We will try to record them for you. Renew now and tell your neighbor to subscribe. Our annual campaign for renewal of subscriptions Is on and we will be happy to renew yours at the same old price — $3.00 per year by mail — if you so authorize us. The football season is really closing today with the sectional battles, in Pasadena. New Orleans and other places where the weather permits outdoor sports even at this season. Start the New Year oft with a determination to boost your community, to help those people aud those institutions who are helping make this a better place in which to live and be happy. All that remains now to assure Decatur a modern high school building, is the construction work which will start immediately and be hurried to completion. It will be a wonderful improvement. • A little snow will servo to cover up the dirt and make the country i look cleaner. At this lime of the year it Is not bad to have a blanket over the crops for an open winter is not the healthiest, according to scientists and their records. Don't park double unless you want a sticker or a notice to report to police headquarters. No i favoritism is to be shown. The I new ordinance must be enforced I if we wish to protect life and prop- j erty and keep the stream of traffic passing over our streets. Tile candidates are look Tug the field over and from now on for the next several weeks, you may expect announcements from those who aspire to become public servants. From now until May when the primaries will be held, those so engaged, will be plenty busy. We hope one of the projects proposed for this year -to trim the trees along the streets of Decatur is successful. There are few more important problems for any city than its shade and a little doctor- • Ing and trimming right now will 1 save our beautiful maples for years to come. The first, resolution of every busiuesh man should be to use a specified per ceutage of his gross I

business to advertise. That policy has won for thousands of business men In the past and will prove out just as good this year. Try the ( Dally Democrat it you want results. We cover this territory complete- ‘ ly. t Our congratulations to the sue '. cessful bidders on the new high ‘ school building. The bidding was close in several instances and It’s 2 too bad all couldn't share. We are ’ | Informed that the successful bid--5 ders are high class contractors 0 who will do excellent work and J that's what is desired by the com- ) munily. First on your list of helping out this year, we hope will be the renewal of your subscription to the Daily Democrat. News Is breaking each day that you should want. It will help as well as interest you. And it’s only three dollars a year by mall within a hundred miles. Best and most important buy we can ■ think of for the average person. I - - Mr. Ickes is a man without poll-; lies. He evidently doesn't care any i ' thing about it. He has been a Republican, Progressive and Roose-; velt Democrat. His speech on the l I national curb on monopolies had I plenty of stuff to make the ordi-, I nary politician shiver and shake, if it doesn't do any thing else, it will make a lot of folks wonder, whether we have drifted and. where we will stop. All over the land New Year parties held last evening indicated * any thing but tough times- In the i large cities, extravagant sums were paid for the privilege of sitting at the tabfe, paying extra for food and drink, and joining in the | yells at midnight. It's an old custom and believe it or not, there are those who think they are 11 censed at this particular season of the year, to relax as far as they can. State Commissioner Stiver wisely ordered his policemen to see that those imbibed kept away | from automobile wheels. — — The coming session of congress j will be an interesting one, with the main event, the battle between powerful interests who evidently j believe they should have special ! power, on the one hand and those who think that in a democracy.' the people should control. To reach just the correct medium, where each side is treated fairly, no more I and no less, is something that will make the leaders "sweat". The ■ danger is that the fight will reach such proportions that nothing can ■ be done towards the always important matter of an agreement that will smooth out the wrinkles many of them imaginary, between labor and capital. It's time to think j unselfishly of what is best for this | I greatest nation in all the world. — The new parking ordinance is in ! effect. Police officials will not try to make record of how many people j they can arrest or embarrass, but' they will in a courteous way do ■ their best to see that the ordin- 1 ance is obeyed. First offenders will I be given a notice, calling attention j to the tact that they have violated I the parking laws. The next time) ! they do so, they will be given a slip, which if presented at the city clerk's office within forty-eight hours, will let them off for a dollar. The next time it will cost two dollars, the next three and then if you persist, the fourth lime you will have to appear iu court and if guilty, stand for a fine and the ex ' tras. That's certainly being lenient but we all understand that something has to be done to meet the, situation, ever increasing in hazard. Couple Wed 70 Years Anadarko, Okla. <UPi Mr. and | | Mrs. J. A.

■‘GIVE HER WINGS

SYNOPSIS When Julie Allerdyce, 19-year-old daughter of Professor Allerdyce of the Ramsey Preparatory School for Boys, manages to get herself engaged to Dr. Richard Jessup, Fayette’*'most eligible bachelor, she looks forward to a glamorous future as a married woman. Os course, most people in town had thought Dick would marry Millicent Dodd, who is 33 while he is 38, but Millicent hides her disappointment and gives an engagement party for Julie. Less tactful is Tommy Jessup, Dick’s younger brother. He is still in college, and has always loved Julie. He tells her she will be sorry if she spoils four lives by marrying Dick. Julie tells Tommy to mind his business, but in less than six weeks she began to find being engaged is boring. It is then she remembers the words of Pete Waddell, barnstorming aviator who gives flying lessons at a neighboring field. He had told her there was a great future in flying for a beautiful girl. When Pete telephones to ask her to go up for ■ trial flight, she accept* hi* invitation. CHAPTER VIII Julie forgot to be frightened but she did not feel that exhilaration that she had expected. She tired of looking out and turned her attention to Waddell. She couldn’t talk to him above the hammer of the engine. She watched him, watched the easy manipulation of the controls and ehe thought: It’s easy. I could do it. Instantly * new idea came to her. An idea that had been latent since the first night she met Pete Waddell. That silver screen in her mind flashed breath-taking pictures. Pictures of • girl flyer with fame and fortune heaped upon her. She was impatient then for them to land, she wanted to talk to him. They were descending. She closed her eyes as the earth rode up to meet them and they bumped along the rough surface of the earth. They made a quick turn of the field and came to a smooth etop. Waddell pulled off his gloves and held out his hand to help Julie out She clutched at his sleeve. “How’d you like it?" He grinned. Julie went right to the point How much to teach me to flv Pete?" she asked. Z ’ " A j!. un<sre ‘ J ,or lessons to you. When do we ttartT” “I don’t know. I haven’t got a hundred and I don’t know where I could get it but if I believed that what you said...." Wadde >l «® d her thought*: Baby you’d have the world at vour feet If you’re as smart as I think you are." “Then 111 get it—somehow.” » » « "Juleee! ... Jul-EEEE!” Julie kicked herself free of an unwound bolt of bias-binding and got up dropping her sewing, shears and thimble. She ran to the window. It was one of the Penny Win*. He was bent over vhe gravel path find<<ttre?b c ." throw at her window. Where* yo ur guitar? Didn’t you know there w M a b*U on th* front door?”

“Hi, there! This is no serenade, gal I Get into your tennis shoes and make it snappy! We’re going over to the Lynches’ to shoot some doubles.’’ Julie played with the tempting idea for the space of a minute. Then she sighed. “Can’t do it, Ben. I’m a working girl now. Try Althea.” He was halfway to the gate when she called him back. “Oh, Ben 1 How would you like to subscribe to the magazine Our Timet? You wouldn’t have to read it, it’s got lots of pictures! Comes to your house every week 1 AU you have to do is make out one little bitty check for five dollars.” “Okay, what’s the gag?” “You mean you will?” That would mean another fifty cents in the Mexican pottery pig. “What’s the idea?” “I’m trying to put my grandmother through college.” “Xou raise the money and and I’ll give her pointers on how to get through in one week." Julie sighed. In one week she had exhausted her list of possible subscribers and sold only four subscriptions. “Pin money, is right!” she muttered and picked up the halffinished blue linen she had dropped on the floor. She wound the binding into a tight little ball and flung it across the room. Her finger encountered the point of a forgotten needle and she thrust it into her mouth, sucking it angrily. The screen door on the back porch banged, was followed by the clatter that announced Priscilla's return from school. Julie needed no clock to tell her that it was nearing four o’clock. She sighed again. Peggy Clark said she would come by at five o’clock to try on her linen frock. Julie retrieved the binding, cut off a length and pinned it around the neckline. She threaded her needle and ran a line of fine stitches along the path of the pins. After a few minutes the darkness went out of her face, leaving her mouth smiling sweetly. Mechanically her needle plied In and out, followed long habit while that part of her mind which guided it divorced itself from her. The sew-ing-room with the machine, the pressing-table end Jenny, the dressmaker’s dummy, receded from her vision. V! 3 ?/ fie,d ' Roosevelt Field. It was black with a milling mob struggling to get past policelines. There were microphones, reporters. A slight figure of a girl being helped out of a silver plane. A laughing, triumphant girl. “Won’t you say a few words into the microphone, Miss Allerdyce?” Look, Mias Allerdyce, my paper would like an exclusive interview. .. Laughing, charming, gracious, Please, boys I Later! I must get into some fresh clothes, have my hair done.... The Ritz, at five.

COURTHOUSE Estate Case* A petition was filed by the administrator for authority to make a partial distribution in the estate of Jacob J. Llechty. It was submitted aud sustained. The administrator was authorized to distribute the sum of $3,500 to the heirs and legatees as prayed for in the petition. The final report was filed and notice ordered reutrnaible February 7, in the estate of William Seilerheyer. Appearance* Filed Appearance* were filed by C. JLutz and Slaymaker, Merrell and Loche for the defendants in the suit on insurance policy, brought by the administratrix of the estate of Jemima Daugherty against the ‘ Home Insurance company of New York. The defendants were ruled to answer. Answer Filed j An answer was filed by the defendants in two paragraphs. In the suit on fraudulent conveyance, brought by the Protective Electrical Supply company against George W. ' Ada R. and Mildred P. Adams and venued here from Jay county. A rep’y was filed by the plaintiff to the defendants’ answer. The cause subjmitted, evidence heard and a" finding and judgment awarded to the defendants. Case Continued A petition lor citation hearing, brought by Barbara Habegger aj gainst Rolwt Habegger was cun'tinned until January.

“It was really nothing. The flight was easier than . . . well . . . than learning to fly. I don’t mean that it was hard for me to learn. I’ve always loved flying from th* time I was a child, longed for it . . . the escape ... the beauty of it!” “Then what was hard, Miss Allerdyce.” “Getting the money for a flying course.” “Then you weren’t a debutante as the papers said?” “Oh, not I had to earn the money. I did all sorts of ridiculous things. I sold subscriptions to magazines, made clothes for my friends, was a newspaper reporter. It was hard but it was worth it.” Julie snipped her thread, shook herself free of thread ends and ran down-stairs to the telephone. The Girls' Friendly Society meeting ought to be over and that would be another item to add to the others she had collected during the Week for the Blade. “How about the committee names?... wait a minute. Could wo get in anything about the refreshments?" Get every line you can. “There’s something else I wanted to ask you, Mrs. Jones, wasn’t Mr. Jones’ mother visiting you last week? Oh, that doesn’t matter. . . 1 No, just as long as she was visiting you." She wrote: Mr. and Mrs. Hard-' well Jones have been entertaining Mrs. Robert E. Jones of Bedford Falls. Then she scratched it out wondering how she could add more words. She tried again: Mrs. Robert E. Jones of Bedford Falls has been visiting her son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bardwell Jones a: their beautiful new home on IJndbergh Road. .., Every word counts when you’re paid space rates. The term “space rates” wasn’t quite clear in Julie’s mind. But with the pages and pagea of personals she had collected t» turn in to the editor next morning, the rates would probably run to fifty or sev-enty-five dollars, she thought in the depths of her journalistic ignorance. She went back to the sewingroom, plugged the electric Iron into a socket and while it bested, she shook the Mexican pottery pig vigorously. How much did she have! She wished she hadn’t known. There were the four flfty-cent pieces deducted from the moneyorder she sent the magazine. There were the three one dollar bills she'd got for making Althea a green organdie like her orange one. Dam Althea! She ibould take advantage of Julie’s need to insist on that same ' rher " **• » dollar bill. Well, she certainly hadn’t overcharged Eleanor for making a white tweed coat. There was another dollar and three quarters for the baby dress and pique collars she’d made for Mrs. Dixon. Now, with Peggy’s bwo dollars for the sleeveless linen, shed have nearly fourteen Her allowance was fifteen a month—to cover cost clothes, entertainment and travel—and with the money she would undoubtedly get from the newspaper, she’d have the better part of her hundred.
