It will be good clean fun. o o Every eittsen in Decatur .should bo deeply interested in the improvements to be made at the city plant. It belongs to you and should be the best in the state. —o Thousands will watch the Calithumpians march here the night of October 31st. it's Halloween vnd the time for laughs. Join the rowd and plan for a good time. Take a look at the wonderful jfhbds for fall and winter now on display in Decatur stores. You will And just what you want and need for every member of the family. —o From the little we can hear about the European war it sounds as though Hitler and Stalin are both holding off as much as they can. hoping for a peace agreement bucause neither trusts the other very far. -0 Boys who persist in trespassing and in destroying property as the Halloween season approaches should realise they are violating the law, have been warned and should not feel wronged if caught by the police and duly punished. Several local men are interested in a landing field for airplanes and It is probable that within a year or two several more will be owned 1n this county. There is no doubt that such a ground will be badly needed in a few years and it could be purchased now for less than later. o—o A touch of real autumn to remind you that it's high time to be gutting ready for winter. If you need fuel, clothing supplieg, get them now. The local merchants have what you want, at the most reasonable prices and with their personal guarantees back of the goods. —o Another strike at the Chrysler plants and 50.000 men out of work. We can't understand why these affairs have to go on. Why can't the controversial matters be settled for good and all and the men and their employers start a real program of business that would help all of them and every one else? Fire losses in Indiana were reduced more than 31,500,000 the past year but the total was still about life million dollars which is far too much. Most of the fires were caused by defective Rues and chimneys. That seems so foolish when if we take time to investigate It could easily be corrected and at small cost. The American Ilnar Iroquois with 677 passengers aboard docked in New York harbor safely Tuesday night without having sighted

a submarine. This was predicted by the German admiralty a few days ago Officers and passengers say they were so worried over a terrific sio,m that they didn't have much chance to be alarmed over ( the warning, ■OO 1 A radio announcer gave quite t an account of the "death-ray." a powerful ray that can be llred four „ miles away and kill every thing In 0 Its path. He said It was owned ® and carefully guarded by the gov- |( ernment of the t’nlted States and 5 will never be used unless deemed J necessary to defend this country. I What would the squirrel and rabl '• hunters give for a little of that juke? —o Cardinal Mundelein raised more than twenty million dollars for reL i llgious education the past quarter century. He left an estate of only 635.00" and that was willed to the Roman Cat hoik church except 61.- ‘ SOO which was given to the bishop , 1 of Chicago tor prayers. A man of great integrity he worked for the cause and not for money, realising that money is of value only as It 1 oan be nsed to advantage for others. ——o—o I Dedication of a strip of new pavement in Putnam and Hancock counties. Ohio, a part of the widely i advertised Benjamin Franklin highI way. will be held next Wednesday j morning at Ottawa. Ohio, with a ; . big program and to be attended by a number of road enthusiasts. The Franklin route is now improved from Philadelphia to Omaha with the exception of the few miles ; between Kingsland and Markle in I this state and that is promised tor I I next year. It will then be recognixed as one of the leading | thoroughfares in the country. o—o Constables who received a nice 1 ( little income from arr-sting tour-j , I ists as they drove through small ■ t towns at a speed exceeding whatever was fixed by ordinances, have received a shock by the decision of the su pt vine court that they | I must file affidavits before making arrests. In some cases the speed limits were as low- as ten miles an i I hour and he who only got down to i i fifteen was nabbed and had to pay i a fine. The court held that since the power was granted by the legislature that body had a right to remove it and the act of 1939 which ' did that was held constitutional. o—o0 —o . A woman whose family had been I moved from a slum area into a i government housing projAt didn't like her new home. For one thing. . she preferred hanging her clothes II i on the old pulley clothesline from a back window where she could gossip with neighbors .ad watch the kids while she strung her wash. Her husband, too, was dissatisfied because he couldn't sit on the stoop in his undershirt of evenings after supper and drink beer with his cornies. After a fewmonths they moved back to the old neighborhood. It's a universal American trait, this desire to live our lives in our own way.—Nations Business. —O —O More than a hundred men and women from this county and from twenty cities paid tribute to O. F. Gilliom. Berne insurance man who has made the best record of any agent in the United States in comparison with the population of his territory. For twenty-five years he has been a member of what is ■ called the “Consecutive weekly > production club." During that time I he has never failed to write at i least one application and seven i years during the period he led all I the agents of the Lincoln Life for i business written. He has proven s what a man can do and he deservt ed all the fine things said about him by officials of his compuy and by his fellow townsmen.
