When you ask for cooperation in Decatur and community you get | it. Our people are fair and con-| siderate. For proof note the com-! glance With the n»W traffic laws. | “rhe walls of Decatur's new high qgliool building will be built of a J[ark brown color brick, the latest m colors and texture. Selection i of the material was made yesterday and when the building is com-1 pleted it will be one of the most | Ijfautiiul to be found anywhere in; tile state. *The G-Men area t putting out much advance information about j the arrests of suspected kidnap-’ ers and murderers, but they seem to be getting their man. They have one or two under arrest and hope to clear up most of the kidnaping cases before they're through with their job. The'city hall was a busy place: yesterday afternoon, many persons calling, to pay their electric and water bills. As a convenience to patrons the bills are now distributed to the homes and offices and many save time by mailing or sending their remittance to the cashier's office. The county government is ini good financial shape. The treas-| titer had a balance of $156,101.95: • all current bills were paid. The fund is sufficient to provide a six month's working balance and makes) possible the maintaining of the county's credit and the varying on of the iiunctions of local government. Government and business leaders a.e cooperating i'l the effort to get the wheels of industry moving again. President Roosevelt and the' secretary ot commerce and leaders in the business field have outlined a program and it appears that everything is set for the green light. This country will not stand still long. It didn't in 1933 and it won't in 1938. This year will be a' busy one for those who help make it tiusy. The 13-yegr-old mother who will receive SSO a year from the 14-year-old husband-father has applied for a mother's pension under the Indiana law. Now that's something tp think about. She probably has as good a cause as an older perstm entitled to a pension, but if it is granted it will be the first case in the country where a child has liepn placed on the pension rolls at 13 years of age. Another American, tragedy, almostRoy O. Girod, manager of Hit Witness company is the new head of the Berne Chamber of Commerce. succeeding Ci H. Museltnun, who served with great credit the plist year. Mr. Girod is a keen and able business man and his fine sense of public duty will reflect to the good of his community and the organization he has the opportunity to serve. The Chamber of Commerce is an active organ-

ization and much good has been | accomplished through Ila member-! ship. The page in Thursday's Demo- ( crat of •Business and Professional j News of our Neighboring Com- j munfUes,' was a readable and in-1 teresting feature of prominent and leading concerns and Individuals. It was prepared by a special writ-1 er who makes it a custom to visit different communities at least once , a year and write up those who are . engaged in commercial lines or professions. The author selected I this paper us the medium to pre- : ! sent those who are busily engaged in community activities. This community is progressive and believes in education. Steps! are underway to build an addition io the Monmouth high school, north of Decatur, tentative plans, calling for a couple additional class rooms, modern toilet and dressing rooms and a large community hall- Those interested I I claim the new addition can be built, i and financed at less cost than dos- > ' mg the high school and transfer! - -; 1 iug the students to other town-' I ships or towns. The addition plan-. I ned will be financed by bonds of , | Hie school and civil township, the i I maximum being $45,000. After all | it's the good community that has’ ■ good schools and keeps the young ! j folks interested. R. J. Nedve'l. of Washington.; project advisor for the U. S. Housing Authority visited Decatur yes-! terday and conferred witli membets of the local housing author-! | ity and city officials. Mr. Nedved I informed the local group that de- j vision to accept the government's I $50,000 rested solely with the community. Decision rests with the, local board and the plan of financing must be worked out by the board, under provisions set up by | the federal government. The I houses are for people of small income and it would be interesting to watch the progress of a building program, designed to provide: a home for persons who wish to own them and at small cost to them. ——o * Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee !♦ —— * Cleaning Steel Knives Powdered bath brick applied with a large cork dipped in water and then in the powder is the best j ! abrasive. Lay the knife flat on the drainboard, or some other solid surface, when scouring. For obstinate stains, rub with a cut potato dipped in scouring powder. Glove Odor If the hands perspire, gloves usually acquire a nasty leathery odor after several wearings. This can be prevented by dusting rice I or taJcum powder into the gloves | as soon as they are removed. Enlarged Pores One remedy for enlarged pores . around the chin and nose is bath-' ing with a Jittie lukewarm water and borax. ——o * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File I January 21, 1918. — Austrian workmen and citizens strike for peace. John Corbett writes from France and sends pictures of camp life. French Quinn resigns as chair-, man of the Adams county chapter of Red Cross to assume other was activities and O. L. Vance is chosen to succeed him. Copies of President Wilson's recent 14-point speech have reached I armies of Germany and Austria, and arc causing much dissension in the ranks. Mail carriers arc delivering some mail by sled and on foot. o Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE * — ♦ Q. Is it poor taste for a man I who has recently lost his mother! to frequent night clubs, or attend | a ball? A. Yes; in respect to ills moth- 1 er’s memory he should mil do so for at least three months. Q. What salutation should one > use in a letter to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? A. “My dear Mr. Chief Justice '’ Q. Is the Sunday night dinner popular? A. No. it is neither popular nor fashionable.

HIGHWAY FUND | IS APPORTIONED Nearly Five Million In Federal Funds Apportioned To Indiana Indianapolis. Jan. 21. / 1 total of $4,946,197 of federal highway funds has been apportioned; to Indiana for the fiscal year be diming July t 1»3«- Todd Stoops.! secretary manager of the Hoosier | Motor club, said today. i The apportionment was accom patted by a request to the governor that no projects for use of th. funds be submitted until congress has had further opportunity to con-; eider President Roosevelt's request for cancellation of these funds. it was said. u._„l "President Roosevelt, in seeking i reduction of lederal road expenditures. specficaliy requested that the I 1939 funds be cancelled." Stoops pointed out. “However, congress. failed to take action on fills reques and Secretary of Agricult ura Henry A. Wallace was compelled by law to make the apportionment prior to Jan. 1. In making allocations. the secretary advised the governors of all states that President Roosevelt desires congress to have further opportunity to study the cancellaton proposal, and there- ! fore would apprecate the cooperation of governor by deferring subI mission of projects under the 1939 apportionment 'until this matter has received the further consideraton of congress.’ The apportionment of federal funds to Indiana is made up of regular lederal aid plus apportionments for secondary or feeder roads and for elimination of railroad hazards on highways. The allocation of federal funds for Indiana is as follows; regular federal aid. $3,063,178; secondary or feeder roads. $612,636; and for I elimination of hazards at railioad grade crossings, $1,270,383. The state is required to match funds for improvement of the fed-eral-aid system and for secondary roads, but not the grade crossing funds. o * PLEASANT MILLS NEWS Mr. and Mrs. John Boner and daughters of Payne.
