For Good Fellows there is joy in giving. o—o The children are enjoying the merry go-round and Christmas music .which goes with each ride. This attraction will be available up to and including Saturday. —r-o o The stores will remain open this evening and Thursday afternoon for the shoppers. If you haven't I made the rounds, you have time to see what Santa is offering to good boys and girls, and even might find your own present. —o o— — The Good Fellows can’t spread Christmas gifts very abundantly among the needy homes unless funds are provided for this purpose. The fund needs a hypodermic of donations, or Old Santa won’t be able to get around to the 50 or more places that expect him. o—o— The Petrillo ban on record making has been lifted and manufacture of new discs will begin next year, according to an agreement' ■worked out by the musicians and j government. If the 1949 versions aren’t any better than some of the current ditties, then Petrillo hasn’t done much for the country. o o The report on the Post Office department shows that the government handies special delivery mail at a loss of 12 million dollars a year. The money order department also suffers a loss of 30 millions, according to the Hoover survey. Being one of the country's biggest and most appreciated business ervices. we believe mail patrons are willing to pay operating costs so that the department can operate without a big deficit. ■ ——o o The UN General Assembly which met in Paris has adjourned. Observers believe that the world organization of nations did some good, although not accomplishing what the people hoped for. The talk of war seems less vibrant and Russia, while blocking moves in the direction of peace, has emerged in a lesser light than the Soviets held six months ago. Human and civil rights .were stressed and enuiteiated and in these the UN gained a foothold before the world.

In fdotball circles, the Big Ten conference again is restored with the admission of Michigan State College to the league. Ever since Chicago University dropped out, nine colleges comprised the conference which ardent fans still called the Big Ten. Michigan State has taken its place among the big colleges. It has 16,000 students and in recent years top-notch football and basketball teams, contesting the best in the midwest conference. Indiana and Purdue voted to admit Michigan’s Spartans to the league. o o A Tennessee elector changed his mind and voted for Gov. Thurmond on the Dixiecrats tickets, instead of going with the state’s mandate in favor of President Truman. The electoral college vote gives Mr. Truman 303 votes to Dewey's 189 and Thurmond’s 39. The official results .will be announced on January 6, by the presiding officer of the U. S. Senate, proving that the electoral college system is a little late, if not out of date. Indiana’s vote was cast for Dewey, the Republican nominee carrying the state with a 14,000 plurality. o o The Hoover Commission reveals that the government loses money on about every mail service rendered by the Post Office department. This year's deficit is estimated at more than 500 million dollars. While it is admitted that thel postal service cannot be made a I paying business, there is no good j reason why it should go in the red to the tune of a half billion dollars. -,The service is too valuable to everybody. If the cost of material, printing and handling the penny post card is nearly triple that amount, then the price should be increased. The same is true with, the second and third mail hand- i lings. Congress should not be afraid to adjust the rates so that the post office department will come near "breaking even." o o The British evidently do no:| think that another war is immi-' nent. Otherwise they would not have brought the Elgin Marbles out from their war-time hidingplace in a subway station, and returned them to the British Museum. The Elgin Marbles are the most famous of all Greek sculptures. They were the glory of the Parthenon, greatest building of ancient Athens. They were moved between ISWI and 1803. by methods which hardly bear scrutiny, by the Earl of Elgin. The Greeks have often clamored for their restoration, but the British regard them as among their proudest possessions and are not expected to give them up. It is good news that they will once more be available to delight the eyes of tourists.

'Harry' Official Democrat Donkey, Is Purchased Here “Harry,” a genuine three-year old donkey, has arrived in Decatur to make his permanent home here — at least as long as the Democrats are in power, his owners say. The animal, a thoroughbred and named for President Truman, arrived here yesterday and is owned by Wendell Macklin and F. J. Schmitt, local Democrat party workers. The two Decatur men planned several months a-go to purchase a donkey, provided the Democrats won the November elections. It took some time to locate a genuine emblem of the party and finally one was .found at Troy, O. The owners say that Harry will be available for Democratic rallies
