Th< new military field near Columbus. Indiana. has been named Camp Atterbury fur tbe great Hoosier railroad general. Home one suggests a unanimous "attaboy" from tbe people of Indiana. O—O Join the Chamber of Commerce aud be a real booster for tbe community. The membership la tbe largest in history but it ought to be larger .The greater the number of members, the better service that can be rendered. 0 0 - Drive carefully and watch your step Most of the accidents reported are either from traffic accidents or tails.

It will help you and will aid In solving the proldem-of securing plenty of food for every one.

It'* better to have our set-baik* <arly in the war than later. If we prepare wisely and completely, we will In due time be the power we have always claimed to be. So (ar. the new* ha* not been eneouraging, but most student* us history aiucerely believe our turn will come. O A number of car* do not display the car-user tax stamp aa I* required under the law. inspector* are checking now through the middle west and we hope when they . reach here, they won’t be able to discover many car* where th.- requirement lum been overlooked. The penalties are eevi-re. Pr-seni map* are going out of use now so far as nationality is concerned and uo doubt many names will be cte-sgtd.

Those German tub* ar* gutting class to the Panama canal whan they make a grand ruah to th* coast along the Caribbean If they bottle that up. Isolate thia country. It will make the irolng tougher for •everal year*. It's time we all rcaail** how serious the *ituatfon I*, quit finding fault and help In defense of thia country -O— Decatur need* from one to two hundred bonne* and need* them a* soon a* we ean get them. Many people from outaid* the city, will be required to man the new factorlea here and there are no homo for rent, it aeem*. If any one in tend* building, that information •ent to the Decatur Chamber of Commerce will be appreciated. D Q— Cong ire* will check, double check and cut unnecessary expenditure*. which I* wise.

Os cour*a every member of congress and many of the senator* realise that thi* I* an election year. Occasional wild report* are heard over the ladlo. One broadcaster this morning told a wlerd story of how ths British lu Singapore, pul Indian* lu front and then r< heated the while men at the rale of ten mile* « day. Since the island I* only 24 mile* long, they must have been going arouud In circle*. Press

reporter* at the acene of actiow say "Singapore wa* defended to the bitter, biasing end by a brave army against protnbly the greatest odd* an army ever faced." Superior force In plane* won the Sglit. Newspapers are making every ••ffort tu comply with the code of war tint, practices'* and tbe same regulations should apply to radio. -0 Tlieae arc days to t.-mm-r respon •ibility with tolerance and reason. Thi* is not a war of the Democratic party or the Republican party but a war of the American l>eople. We must exercise great care in our attitude toward one another lu the campaign. Our clortn In lhe conflict transcend everything else. The clttxens of Indiana must do everything possible to support tbe President and win the war. If you strike one blow for your party, strike a half doxen in support of lhe war. We may not see eye to eye on many things, but in devotion to government all anon the same level and entitled to lhe eame recognition.—From Gov. Mchrlckar'a speed tu Young Democrat*.

—o Treasure Islands: When we were children most of us dream>-d of hunting buried treasure. Today we can make that dream tome true. We can really have our treasure hunts. For in every part of the country men and women arc digging for valuable metals, searching In unlikely places, semiring their homes and their yards, remembering things they had forgotten and half-forgot ten many years ago. Today our factories need scrap iron, rubber, waste paper, pieces of copper and other metals. They must have them so that they can produce more steel, more rubber, more weapons. There's no inliing where we ll find the scrap they need. It might be anywhere, for there are treasure islands all around us. dome people have found valuable "Junk" tucked away and un-remembered In attics, cellars, garages, barn* Employees in one factory even dug up the ground around their plant and uncovered 60 tons of metal in odds and ends that had been thrown away in previous years. Their act ion gave seme one an idea, and that idea is spreading. Today throughout America people arc organizing bunts to search for scrap- Treasure hunting has become a game that all of ua,cau , play - and mm>t MW —l« help America win the war.
