llshed In this paper Wednesday and should be carefully studied by every one ho they can be compiled with when the surprise alarms sound. The First State Bank of Decatur Is a strong financial institution aud - gets stronger each week. During the past six months deposits have increased more than 3600,000 and total assets now exceed the five million mark. Other banks in the county also show healthy increases and the community was never tn a better position.

O—O After the 1940 campaign, Wendell Willkle gave an opinion in exact reverse of what he had stated in one of his campaign speeches When asked about it be said. "Ob that was just political oratory."

However Mr. Ickes aud some others doubt very much if any new rolling stock will tie ready for John Doe tor a couple of years. About all we can do is wait until they are on the market. O—O Double parking in the down town 1 district will not be permitted and police have been instructed to enforce that order by the city council. While there is an ordinance that Axes a limit on length of time cars may be park<<d in the business sei tione, it has not been enforced recently. Perhaps that will be necessary if double parking la pr<> ■ hiblted. to permit patrons of stores , to load their cars. It’s quite a problem, not only here but in every , city, large and small and cooper- < at ion of she public is urged. I O—O No one mm-ms to know just what the drive into Kushlm by the Hermans means but perhaps the Nasis think they can win a quick victory that will take them into the valuable oil fields.
