—— o*—o— *— • New York youngster chanced hi« life to put out a tire in the school house and now the kids arc waiting to tell him what they think of such foolish risks. —o The Red Cross campaign is moving along and the response hae Deen excellcut. We are over half of the quota as reports continue to come in. Let’s keep ou until we have crossed the goal line. o—o The people hope that the controversies between the operators and coal miners can be arranged satisfactorily without a strike or without forcing the government to take over again. And if they are fair aad. sincere, it can be dene. The Tappan Stove Company of Mansfield, Ohio, is negotiating with Tbjton, Indiana, to locate a branch there. Other cities are looking to the lime when new- industries can bo secured to prevent unemploymen l And It's not a bad idea. Z u' . AA

Boys and girls of America have been asked to grow forty percent i of the gardens this year.

"When you save it and turn it iu, your paper helps to supply Just about everything our armed forces must have to keep fighting. -—o—O— It may be true or not bat a German prisoner says that one of his comrades, tired of war, deliberately cut the wires that were intended to blow Ludendorff bridge. Auy way the young lieutenant Who marched his troops across to take over deserves the medal and the approval of thia nation. Hitler’s last appeal to his people Was deaperate. He told them there was little if any chance to win ’tut begged them to hold on un'the enemy got tired and went fcorno and then they could start over to destroy the world. It they *n gather any encouragement For a copy of the Decatur Daily Democrat go to The Stopback on sale each evening I Ac

from that they can do more than those on the outside. o—o We haven't seen a copy of the new omnibus etate election law as enacted but several who have tell ub that it Is ao full of errors of one kind or another that Its doubtful whether It can be enforced. That will probably mean that a special session of legislature will be necessary to iron out the wrinkles before the 1946 election. o—o The center of population in the United States is a fence post in Sullivan county, Indiana, but indi* cations are that it will be shoved over along <the Illinois state line soon. The west has gained four million the past five years while the east and north has lost three million. Guess it odesn't make a lot of difference but Indiana will always be near the center and therefore a eplendld location.

O—O We haven’t had the pleasure of reading Claude G. Bower's newest book, “Tho Young Jefferson" but we are looking forward to it with the keenest expectations. We have read and thoroughly enjoyed his numerous other books and none of them excel his works on Jefferson. Mr. Bowers, a former Hoosier newspaper man and for several years editor of the Fort Wayne JournalGazette, is known by many Decatur people. He 19 now serving as American ambassador to Chile.

The Yankeee are gathering more strength along the east bank of the Rhine just now and the Russians have prepared for their final thrust in or around Berlin. The next push will be a long one for the Americans and the problem of keeping them supplied becomes one of th? most difficult and important. Consequently they can't go forward too rapidly until complete preparations have been made and the beach heads wt&ll eetabllshed. Look for exciting and Important news soon. O—o

Do You Favor It? Whether Congress wamte it or not, there is a strong possibility that the Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution may come iuto being. Its progress thus fat has been amazing, both because of the nature of the proposal iteeit and the method employed in obtaining it. The proposed amendment would limit the right of Congress (except in war time) to impose higher than 25 percent federal taxes on incomes, inheritances and gifts. That permanent ceiling on taxes would put a definite limit on the power of Congress and would tend to restore states’ rights. Martinet Eccles, head of the Federal Reserve

System, has Baid the proposed legislation is inflationary and if it should carry the corrollary that appropriations be similarly limited. In short, Ecclee termed it as "thoroughly unsound” as any proposal imaginable. Without debating the pros and cons of the proposed amendment at this early date, it is interesting , to note that this nation may have a Constitutional Convention tor the first time in 165 years. Since the adoption of the Constitution there have been 21 amendments passed. The only method used has been for Congress to pass the proposal by a two4hirds vote and submit to states —which make it a law when three-fourths of the state legislatures approve it. But the Constitution piw idea another method tor amending itself. On the ‘‘application of legislatures of two-thirds of tlie states” a Constitutional Convention can be summoned for proposing amendments. When the ConVeiitioir eouipleUs the 1 ' amendment it will be given over to the states for a three-fourths ratification and become a law without benefit of Congress. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gatette.

Lenten Meditation (Rev. W. C. Feller, Zion Evangelical & Reformed) “FARSIGHTED PATIENCE” '•For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what Is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.” 2 Peter 1:9. Patience is the readiness to wait God’s time without doubting God’s truth. Patience is a requisite of spiritual development. We spoil many a gift or blessing which God is preparing for us by our eager haste. We tear tho rosebud open before the time when it would naturally open, and destroy the beauty of the rose. Our patience, however, must, be farsighted. Peter declares that the person who forgets the cleansing from sin is nearsighted. Now. “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from nil sin." The value of that cleansing is lost by imperfect recollection. Surely then the opposite Is also true. The value is increased by remembrance. Forgetfulness leads to the neglect of those radiant treasures of character Peter has previously mentioned, namely, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Farsighted patience will be an inspiration in discouragement and a deterrent in danger, a cure for despondency and despair, and an antidote for wofldliness. Peter’s words Imply that the memory of past grace will be a living and effectual inspiration to us to take our religion seriously and to strive after perfection. A patient, unbroken and grateful remembrance of God’s love in Christ will inspire us to meet the lofty demands of our Christian ifte.
