The North Pole may be the legendary home of Santa Claus, but the town in Indiana named for the Christmas visitor is doing the biggest mail business. o o If Mrs. Lamarre’s husband didn't receive more than $l5O a month for running General Meyers’ airplane plant, about all the guilible couple got from the experience was their pictures in the papers. o o The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company estimates that the average person suffers from two colds each winter, the illness extending over a five day period. The point is, how can we escape the attacks? o o The grand jury may have a busy session, several matters being scheduled for investigation by the official body. The jurors will meet Monday and following their probing of alleged criminal cases, will inspect the county home and county jail, making recommendations as they deem advisable. “One hundred years from now Europe will be either Cossack or Republican.” So Napoleon in his captivity at St. Helena prophesied, meaning that the Continent would be ruled either by the autocracy of Russia or by republican princi- <• pies such as came out of the French Revolution. It has taken more than 100 years to create this conflict, but in every point except time Napoleon has been proved a true prophet. Senator Jenner may not be able to trade his senatorial post for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, since several leading party men already have fences built towards the nomination. Among these are Lt. Governor James, Hobart Greighton, speaker of the House and State Auditor Burch. The Senator should know that he can’t have all the jobs, even he doesn’t like living in Washington. o o The Republican presidential race may be enlivened with Harold Stassen's entrance into Ohio and New York seeking delegates to the national convention. Not only his political strength, but the standings of Taft and Dewey Will be testeci if the Minnesotian decided to enter these states, along with his entrance into the New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Nebraska

i presidential primaries next spring. 1 Stassen's platform in which he tried to cover everything and >. strained not to take sides by being . for “home and -mother,” hasn't it i clocked so well with the people, t | o _ t One of the humanitarian agen- ' cies in the country is- CARE, a r non-profit organization, located at ’ 50 Broad Street, New York City. This agency delivers food packages in the needy in Europe, having huge . supplies in England and France. « „ It is not a governmental bureau, al- , though its services are approved j by the army and navy. Persons who wish to remember relatives in Europe at Christmas time may send their gifts through this channel and delivery of the packages t to the designated person or family . is guaranteed. i , o o i Romance continues to blossom ’ among European royalty as announcement is made of the engagement of young King Mihai of Romania and Danish Princess Anne. ' The latter, no doubt following fin- ' ancial reverses in her own country, 1 was employed in a Fifth Avenue : department in New York‘City, before returning to Denmark. King Mike is a wordly sort of fellow, the son of former King Carol, who is now sojourning in Mexico with Madam Lupisco. With the Com- : munists in control of his country, ! he better pick a quiet spot, leave his royal robes at home and start life anew. -——o o The State Health Board has no 1 alternative except to extend the deadline for the construction and completion of the sewage disposal ' system. Construction cokts have been high and labor is not avail--1 able at the present time for such • large projects. The preliminary 1 plans are ready, including sugges- j r tions for storm sewers and addi- ' tions in the west part of the city 1 under the Barrett law. The pro--5 ject will be one that will engage the city for many months, once it ■ is started. As provided by law, the revenue bonds will be paid by levying a service charge on customers of the city water department. o o If it seems to the average man that, too many bills go through the Senate, think how a person would feel if he had had to read every one ■ of them aloud that came up during the last 40 years! That experience was the life-work of a ■ man who is retiring at 83. John 1 Crockett, known as “Uncle John,” since 1907 the upper chamber’s chief reading clerk, now goes back ! to his home town, Eldora, la. He 1 started his reading under President 1 McKinley, read on under Roosevelt sll as well as Roosevelt 11, served s under Taft, read the Senate de- ■ bates about the League of Nations ‘ under Wilson, saw Harding, Cool--1 idge, Hoover come and go, and 1 Truman come. He kept his job under Democrats and Republicans, i What memoirs those would be!
