ner affair Ihough the show will not i compare lo former years. The | i peak passed last Sunday and by J now ihs gardens look beautiful but nothing lo compare with occasions ' when the season to perfec t. Fls j in* dates for such occasions far In advance Is a tough job for frequently dame nature doesn't agree I a hundred per cept. The proposed addition In the j I Adams County Memorial Hospital 1s again bclug discussed and ar- ' rangemeuts have been made for a I ‘ federal graut provided tbe local - citlsens want tbe much needed tinj provement. Tbe Institution has keen crowded the past several ■ weeks, frequently every lied being ! occupied. It to an important matI ter In which every one should be | fair for after all. we must have a ' place where the sick and the Injured can have proper attention. > The city administration must aud soon will decide upon their future course as to the city light and power plant and upon that decision. to some extent at least, rests the future of this large and Important part of Decatar. Efforts to learn the basie facts are now being made and officials are conferring with prospective customers In order to decide whether to make •n additional large Investment or to be content wtth operating a plant that will meet most of the needs. The Supreme Court of the Culled States holds that Mayor Hague of Jersey City has no right to interfere with the civil liberties of others. Os rourse that decision Is right though*often we feel as If we would tike to prevent those with whom we disagree in principle The dectaton upholds the city ordinances which provided how and where and when meetings of , groups can be held but it Is quite likely the officials of the New JerI sey city will continue to make It uncomfortable for those who they do not feel are helping general conditions of their community. i The contract for the Thirteenth street by-pass on highway 27 will i he let June 39th. an Important incident for this community. It will be a three hundred thouaand del- | lar improvement, requiring probably a year for completion, will employ a Urge crew and will prove < a popular route for travelers. How 1 much it will Interfere with local j business is of course a problem and can only be off-set either by ' the fact that business will be located along the ronte and that signs st the intersections north and ' south may direct much of the , •ravel through down town Decatur, Highways must be built by engineers and they think Urgely of the quickest routes with the least haxxard. Complain as we may. time marches on. When the President called attention to the fart that idk> dollars meant more idle men. the reply should have been an end to the sit down strike of capital And an end to the sniping of the group which Is sniping at every New Deal suggestion. The facts are evident. It to true that there are about 11,000.000 unemployed and that the great problem to lo find the cause aud the cure for this condition. But tn the hey days of prosperity. ' totek tn the tush years of 1939. the number of people employed In this rountry was but two millions more than at the prescut time. Then | 'here were 35 millions gainfully ; employed Today there are 33 millions. The administration has put '•ark to work «,750,000 m ,. n and women who were Idle in March of 1933. It has put back 840,000 more than were Idle tn March of 1938. o ' • —— L A i Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE iA • A Q. lan't It a duty of the boateas to see that every guett meet* the gueat of honor?

D.l (Secretary Decatar Health Board) i “Sanitation and Health" The relationship between cleanliness and health la an all important one There Is an old saying that points out tha* "cleanliness Is next to Godliness." The meaning of that aeytng in detail is not Just clear to me We do know i that It stresses the fact that clean-; liness to a good thing. Kver since creation men and I animals have been confronted with j an Important problem — that of getting rid of dirt and waate mi- j terlal that Is produced by their i own bodies and also to effectively ! protect themselves from the tilth ! of others. Cav«unen and ether primitive, peoples were apparently but little impressed by this problem. Their indiration for a cleanup began when their living quarters became cluttered with 61th to the point of .

Homes and huts are built! on pilings so that garbage and excreta may be nnccremontously ’ dumped through trap doors out of j the way It Is needless to say that disease and misery abound In these parts of the world In general, though, these people are non-com-i i-lalntng and indeed even recent the ) jeftorta of others to correct thetr: , I oul ways. To clean up would be the ! Orst step toward civilisation and i people have always resented the; idea of becoming civilised.

The Roj mans did likewise, using .copious amounts of rare perfumes and otto Th* plumbing systems used by them can mill he found among the ancient ruins. They show clearly that some efforts were made towards sewage disposal. French noblemen of th» lime o! I 'he "Uvula kings' were not very fond of washing. They subdued laxly odors wtth strong perfumes and hid plenty of grime and dirt under a thick raatiag of powder.

We hare surrounded ourselves with many modern I sanitary conveniences and reduced ; disease remarkably. Kven so. we are far from a completely enlightened people We j are still resisting clvihsatton. Kir- . ers and streams are being pollutjed everywhere. We are none too careful of the source of our food and milk. We permit garbage and rubbish to accumulate along high- 1 ways, river banks and alleys. We assume an air of indifference to j the presence ot thousands of unsanitary latrines, barns, pig stys and public buildings. We are slow to seek out and destroy the breeding places of flies and other inserts. We are not sufllrtently interested in the source j <>f our water supply Polluted rural , wells are extremely common.
