Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. -■! I ■ —I Several of the local churches and J sororities will conduct stands along the street fait midway. Patronize them. The proceeds are used for charity. When King George VI and Queen Mary visited Erance, we wonder if Wally sneaked in for a side look, just to see what being queen of England is like. Now is the time to shop. Visit the stores, start the ball rolling with your purchases and it everyone joins, you'll be surprised what a change it will make in sentiment and employment. A week from today the big show starts. With a break in the weather, the street fair will provide an | opportunity for you to meet your friends and at the same time enjoy a little of the Mardi Gras without going to New Orleans. A number of beautiful floats will be in the parade on Wednesday of fair week. Attractive entries have been made by firms and industries and the exhibition will be one of the features of the big show. Get your place along the side line and cheer. It s not too late to cut the weeds, I even though you haven't got within the time limit. Weeds destroy j the surroundings and leave a touch of bad housekeeping around the premises. If you have a vacant lot, see that the weeds are cut. It will enhance the value of your property. The steeplejack who is painting the court house tower is doing a good job. He always knows how ! to swing around on the ropes and so far we haven't heard many fellows say they would like his job. The court house is taking on a tine appearance with its coat of new paint. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has outlawed the sitdown strikes with the decision that the strikers have no recourse in getting their jobs back after they go out on strike. The decision changes the ruling of the National Labor Relations Board and may mean new policies in respect to strikes and labor matters. The extra police, wires and transformers which the city light utility is erecting in order to render efficient service during fair week will be removed as soon as the equipment has served its use. for the additional expense, the The fair association pays the city for the additional expense, the utility cooperating in giving good service. Although Al Feeney has been declared winner of the Democratic nomination for sheriff in Marion county by the recout board, it will take court action to determine the final outcome. Mr. Feeney, in the recount, has a plurality of 272

votes. About 4.000 ballots, not | counted In the summary, are con- 1 tested and I lie court will have to decide if they are mutilated balI lots or should be included. We don't appreciate our streets i until they’re blocked und we can i j t use them. The automobile hus ' ' made streets and roads the great-! est necessity of a hurrying people i and it’s difficult to adjust ourselves j ■ i when these Important facilities are | ) . ) cut off. In Decatur, one of the , > future needs is to establish or open | ? a through-city thoroughfare, Sec- > ) ond street being the only avenue I • with complete exit and egress to the town. A vacation day tragedy took | place near Indianapolis the other , day when one of a group of boys i playing on a railroad trestle was | knocked off the bridge and killed. | One of the most dangerous places | in a community to play is on a railroad bridge. It may be exciting to hike across the ties, but if a train happens along at the same time, fatal accidents, as in the above case happen. Boys, find a ( ball diamond or some other place to play. — Another regret with the death of, Civil War veteran R. A. Drum- j mond is that he was the last surI vivor of Sam Henry Post of the | G. A. R. This organization was I originally composed of the Adams 1 county men who served in the j Union army and for years it play-' ed an important part in civic and l patriotic events in this community. , With time the membership dwindl-' ed and about 15 years ago it abandoned its headquarters, a handful < of veterans composing the tottering ranks of the organization. Mr. Drummond was the last of the original members and with his , i death the chapter of the Civil War ■' I veteran's post is closed. A controversary over selling | Germany helium for dirigibles and j whether America should again build several of the lighter-than-air craft has taken the spot light in, Washington. It seems that it, would be common sense for this country to withhold sale or ship-1 ments of the gas. If other coun-’ tries want it so bad, it should be . . that much better for us. As far as building more of the “aerial, cigars,” it would appear that the | U. S. has had enough tragedy with j . this type craft. When the Von' j Hindenberg smashed in this country. it brought an end to the practical side of these ships. It would be better to build roads, eliminate , grade crossings, construct more | school buildings and recreation 1 centers with public money than'' pump it away on dirigibles. o j FRED W. BRAUN li- © i'Jhe During these vacation days every j driver of an automobile has an add-1 ed responsibility —to watch out for ( those youngsters on the streets. Children listen to our warnings and instructions to be careful when crossing streets, but, as we all! know, they forget very readily, and when they are engaged in a spirited game of tag our words of caution are completely erased from their minds. That is why we motorists must learn to anticipate seeing a boy or girl dash suddenly across the street without a sideward glance. We often become impatient and ! very angry with yougsters for these thoughtless acts, but remember, their s is a carefree life. We cannot 1 expect them to keep serious j ' thoughts in mind constantly, i Let's give the kids a break and be just a little more alert when we sit i behind the wheel of our automobile.' ; That is one way we can make life r safer for our children. , . u Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE i Q.
