DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Publiabed Bvery Evening Brevet Sunday By THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO Incorporated Entorod at the Decatur, lad.. Poet Office aa Second Class Matter. J H. Heller — President A. R. HoWwuee, SoCy. A Boa. Mgr Dick D Heller VlcaPreeldent WE WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND WE DO MEAN YOU, —o Reoolve to d<» your beat every day In the New Year. That* all any one can do. -- Some day perhaps the workers In some plant will vote "no" on a strike proposal and that will be news. -0 Happy New Year to the href babe to be bom In the north half of Adanu county in the New Year. The baby will receive a score of gifts from local merchants as announced in last Friday> paper. — 0-0 A Texas baby, Yolanda Martinez weighed eighteen pounds at her birth. Every body reported happy except the stork who threatens to quit his job if he has to carry such a heavy load —o Russia has not signed the Bretton monetary tract yet but they will for twenty-eight of the fortyfive nations of the world have done so and Stalin's country will want to be in the big game. —o The Communists in China wish to sign an unconditional truce and continue their newt iat lons with the government In power. Thats some algos that the fighting there may cease one of these days, adding to the general pence program. -0 The cold wave may have caused some inconveniences but it helped check the flu epidemic over Indiana according to reports from Dr. Burney, state health commiastoiier. Few new cases have been reported the past week and the ailment is definitely on Hie waning —o Six hundred sailors want os strike at Fort Wayne the other evening. They got off a train on which they had traveled five days and refused to reboard the cars utMil light and water was furnished in the wooden cars. They finally did >o and continued their journey eastward. —o The electrical companies seem to be making a real eff .-1 to avert the threatened strike and the people of America hope they succeed. Suspension of work tor weeks or months certainly do not prove profitable for either side of the wage coutrovenios and they do delay reconversion and the return to normal life. -0 — Nearly a hundred thoUMind people met death by accident in the United States this year, the survey of a large life insurancecompany discloses. That would tnake a good sized casualty list for any -nation on her war battle fields And the sad thing is that most of them could have been • verted by being careful. Probably a lot of people will get a thrill out of a new plastic chewing gum announced In Chicago. It to said to have the merits of retaining flavor longer than usual, defying moisture and tempemture, and not sticking to floors or furniture. Any average American, or average American's son. will probably appreciate these virtues. -0 A seurvay «howa that Kansas farmers want to buy 30,000 electric refrigerators and 30,000 electric washers the next two yean and dwo-Udnto of them will pay flash. Otter states will probably abow a similar forward looking ia'.trrc iedtaatoaffi * Mar 1946-47.

Busiaess will cease tomorrow as the people of this community observe New Years Day. No paper will be published. most stores will close and the i*ost office and bunks will take the day off No deliveries I of mail will be made. Many of Ute ( local stores also cloaed today, giving a three day holiday i — - '—'"O’" O'-'""" The Big Three has agreed on the atomic bomb pact and it seems 1 from what can be learned that it is acceptable and satisfactory to all. Thats good for Its fur too Im f portant to continue a quarrel * about. Gradually the big problems are being worked out and the most pleasing thing to the average peri «ou la that all nations seem to i have bud more than enough of f war and hope for a long peace. We hope its an enduring one. -0 t About half the men and wornf cn who did service during the war , have been honorably discharged [ and Ituck home. During the next . few week.-* hundreds more will be here and life will again soon lie normal We welcome the returning veterans and assure them they hold a place in our lustrts that will continue through the years. May you or your sons never have to go through another war and nmy your future make up in happiness for the stretious experiences of the pa.-t years. -0 Happy New Year:ln a few hours the tells will ring out the year 1945 and bring! in 1946. Its more than a time for watch panics its the hour to bring resolutions that will help each of us and ail of us. The year now closing has been an eventful one, marking the end of nearly four years of active war and twice licit number of years of strain as other nations of the wtorbl einragt-d in eettling their disputes by the barbaric meaixs of' lighting it out on the battle fields. The people of every land may enjoy a fuller life This city looks to th*- future with optimism, our factories arc operating full time and planning facilities to increase production, nien-h.uite are enjoying excellent patronage, farmers are properous and the future looks brighter than for several decades. There will be much new building, and there will be a period of hustle and bustie that will give every one an opportunity if he makes a real effort The year 1946 should be u record making one for thouaoands and it will be fort Wow who use good 1 judgment, work hard and act wise--1 ly5 !u tbe busy period ahead we ' call your attention again to the ’ need for taking a part in religious ! work, if we cling to the teachings -of God. give some of our spare ’ time to aiding His plans, we will " all be luippier and In every way much tetter off. The future looks bright and we i sincerely hope tlrnl the rccupitui- > ation we publish at the done of tbe ■ coining year may exceed our pre* s ent hopes. 1 0 t * g ; I Household Scrapbook i l I ly ROBERTA LEE • g i Brooms The life of .tn old broom that hus tecom>* hard and sturdy can be 1 prolonged by cutting away one or * more of the stitching, leaving one or two of the rows Intact.
