VUoRK as If you would live * forever; live as if you would die today —St. Emuud of Canterbury. ' i You can move a mountain about aa easy aa you can raise a submarine from its watery grave. The wheat harvest Is exception aly good and with a little step-up in price, farmers will enjoy the fruits of their labor. ■ If you have had a hard week. 1 1 feel worn out with ibe heat, or are I suffering from frayed nerves, spend 1 an hour iu Church Sunday morn- 1 t Ing and refresh your spirit. 11 Two weeks from Monday the big < street fair and agricultural show i opens The program Is about complete and It will be an entertainluK week for you and your friends. 1 ’ The social sc urity and pension i acts are being so amended that 1 1 about everybody will be drawing beneffla except those who haven't lime to quit business and keep on t paying the bill. i Indiana politics warmed up with ■ the weather, the week bringing a < discussion of 1940 plan*, prosper- i tive candidates for governor, with I the McNutt appointment looming t largest in the picture. , < Then after the streets are tin-, proved by Ihe stale highway cum-1 inisaiou. a suggestion or two should * b>- made aboul lb)- Mourue street • river bridge A more modern I lighting system should bo Install- J cd and the place illuminated in ’ keeping with a principal entrance • to a city. I Spokauv. Wa.-hlugton. has Its r municipal garages located in the 11 •re stations. The Bremen, wht-u t not called out to tight Arcs, work ’ In the garages, repairing autumn- ■ biles and doing the work of legu- t lar mechanics, lit sides being a t healthy, able man. applicants fur < the department must also be cap-] I able mechanics. t Tin General Electric employes i will Mart taking their vacations i next Mouday, extending over the next two weeks. The big uud busy ■ plant will continue to operate with > »u axillary force this year. Hie I demaud lor motors more than keep- < •ng up with production. To all i we wish a happy vacation, iuclud-11 lug health, fun and rest. ■ A press dispatch reads that the ; i Russians shot down 199 Japanese 11 airplanes sad killed hundreds of , soldiers. With the Boviets In tbcji game, China will be given a breathing spell and another story may be told before whiter. Russia prob-1, ably could bombard the Japs in the Math liukuo area, lurulug the i war tables in the fur cast. I, If England goes to war it will be after she Is amply prepared for conflict. Huge expenditures are being made fur army and navy i

purposes and additional men enrolled. The battle may come after ; the harvest season, ax experts • claim, and then again the trouble ’ may blow over and lu time the world will be talking of peace. Tbe enthusiasm of a child for I bathing exceeds nearly every sport ■ and recreation enjoyed by them ’ The water refreshes them, the swimming provides the proper ex- ' erdse for body development and : whets their appet files. They come home “starved.' looking for a glass of milk, a slice of jelly bread or whatever might be found In the Ice box. Every community should i have a couple good swimming I Itools. Ix-ltoy Schwarts of Monroe township and Miss Virginia Hoffman of Washington township will reign »• . king and queen of the 4-H clubs during Fair week. The “royal couple" was selected l>y popular vote at the club picnic and plans are going forward to make the 4-H club show <>ne of the most attractiv* and interesting of tbe week. We salute the young folks and wish them thrills aplenty during their reign. Governor Townsend has addressed au appeal to striking Wl’A men asking them to return to work white Aiiieuduieuti are nude to the law restoring tbe former wage scale The governor said. "1 feel sure that nothing further cau be gained by remaluiug away from tbe job, and serious damage may result from a loss of wages.' Strikes are said to be underway iu uine Indiana counties and naturally conditions there are in a turmoil. ' The government's effort to raise the sunken submarine Squalus fail- ' ed after marly two mouths of arduous effort to bring tbe craft afloat. The cables broke and the sub, which is the steel tomb for 24 members of the ship's crew, sauk to the bottom The Navy will continue its efforts to raise the ship. Man is almost powerless against the terrifl.- water pressure aud it may be that future plans to float tbe craft will meet with the same unsuccessful result as those which discouraged the- resc u<- workers since the untimely stqkllig of the ship. The completing of the Monroe street Improvement with kyrock surfacing material will be postponed until after Fair week, state highway officials have announced The decision is popularly received Although the work might have been completed before* the opening of the fair, there was lltllc allowance for unfavorable weather, which might delay the job and Iheu the town would be lu a mess The- contractor will begin work soon after the lair aud II will require alcoin two weeks lu complete, the atreug being dosed during the construction period and for several days following in order to give* the material an opportunity lo season. The state highway commission lx paying ibe entire coat of th<- improvement. Protest has bccu registered against the granting of a liquor license at the Decatur Country Club and it was indicated that the permit would not be granted. The law states how and when a license* cun be granted. Resident ownership of a country dub might be one way to acquire and conduct a successful golf course, more cmpbusis being put on tho grounds and greens than on tho club house facilities. Many Decatur people play golf and It seems that a place of this kind should be a community gathering place, with no objectionable! features dividing support Mid hearty cooperation lu a worth while recreational esdoavur. The local course la said to be one of tbe sportiest In the state and it seems that its natural adcamiageu should be utilised iu some manner.
