there was a highlight in a wellproportioned program-was the ehoir'a rendition of “Onward Christian Soldiers." They took the fundamentals of a fine arrangement and worked on It, and when they had finished, one realized that w d a exactly the way the song should have been anng all these years. Had there been any misgivings nmong the audience in the halffilled auditorium about the capabilities of the choir, they were dispelled in very short order following the opening number of "Salutation." The freshman-sopho-more chorus showed promise, enough so that when they advance, the choir will not suffer. Wilfred Norris, soloist of the evening, retained the fine level, and the double grio featured two numbers. Pauline Lobsiger and Carole Elzey were accompanists for the evening's program. Traffic consultants estimate that in a city of 1,500,000 persons, the citizens pay |120.000,000 each year for private car travel, but only $18,000,000 for motor bus, trackless trolley and street car riding.

Center Fund, NOW THEREFOR. BE IT RE •SOLVED: That information Im- given to the : cltizeiiH of Decatur, Indiana through the mwiium of the public press that in the opinion of the Adams county bar association that the signing o' pledge cards, as presently bein,; 1 circulated, constitutes a valid and binding obligation upon the giver for the amount pledged upon the dates specified therein toward the Decatur Memorial Foundation Community Center fund and are obligations which are legally enforceable by proper court action, the same as a promissory note given to a bank or an individual. It was pointed out further at the meeting that a large number of cases decided in Indiana have held pledges of a similar nature to he enforceable obligations in decisions rendered by the supreme and appellate courts of thia state; that to leave the impression with contributors that these pledge cards are not legally enforceable would tend to mislead them and possibly render subsequent collection unnecessarily difficult. signed, Adams Co.

Roast Chicken At Jail, Hospital And The County Home Roast chicken will be king for the day at the jail, county home and the hospital, according to the menus which have been planned for the Thanksgiving feasts for these institutions. Spokesmen for all three places stated that it would be "roast chicken with all the trimmings" for the annual feast day. Mrs. Herman Bowman, who prepares the meals for the inmates of the jail, stated that at present there were three people there, and “they will eat the same as we (she and the sheriff) do." She said she hail not given too much thought to it, but knew 'there would be cranberries, dressing, pie and cake. Hospital attendants and Mrs. Frank Kltson, of the county home, likewise had no set menu already prepared for tomorrow, though they elaborated somewhat after stating the main dish would be roast chicken. Mrs. Kltson said. “It will be the usual Thanksgiving dinner, and we think it will be pretty good.” The only solution, ft seems, for anyone who prefers roast chicken to what they will have Is to either go to Jail, the hospital or the county home; a bountiful meal Is assured. Goldfish are not gold in the wild state, but generally a greenishbrown. By careful breeding, colorful goldfish have been produced, but when they resume life under natural conditions they revert to I their original color.
