Good Fellows: The Good Fellows club is opened, which means that Good Fellows will have the opportunity to contribute towards a fund that will be used to bring Christmas cheer to needy families and children if you are a Good Fellow, you know ail about it. it the spirit isn’t there, no explanation will ••make" a G<x>d Fellow. Drop your check or currency in the boxes located in several of the stores and on Christmas Eve you'll have the satisfaction of having helped Santa make his rounds to the homes of the needy. o— -o— — A spectator at the morbid Click trial in Fort Wayne, had his pocket picked by a smoothhand performer while he stood with the crowd in the court room. The pickpocket probably wasn't interested in the outcome of the trial If the courts and laws can’t deal with John L. Lewis, it seems the way for settlement Is through his miners. A revolt against Lewis’ high-handed methods might be fomented among the miners, who no doubt find it difficult to live seven days on wages Rom only three days work. Many a king has been overthrown through revolt of his subjects. o o Portland has enjoyed a s7so.mm building expansion this year, according to the Portland Sun. The largest projects include a factory building and an addition to the Presbyterian church. A number of new houses also were constructed. The Jay county seat is a progressive city, forging ahead with the times and building in the direction that props a better foundation under a good town. o—o Mailing of the first applications for the 1950 auto license plates has started at the state house. The plates have gold numerals on a black background, in honor of Purdue university's black and gold colors. The tags will cost auto owners two dollars more next year, the increase being voted by the last legislature and will go on sale at the license bureaus throughout the state on January 3. The low numbers will be distributed to officials and sprinkled among political friends In about the same manner always prevalent in state house control, regardless of which party bolds office.

How are you coming along with your Christmas shopping list? <> o ■ - Big New York does a good Job of conveying a homey atmosr phere, despite its blggness, traffic and center of millions. At Rockefeller Center, the rnecca of the world, a 75 • foot high Christmas tree is being erected. It will bo trimmed with lights and alj the festooning that goes with the holiday season. After all, people are people, and they like to fee] at home in New York, just as well as we all do in Decatur. o oRepresentative Thomas's big mistake in life was in aspiring to go to congress. Today he would be better off had he not seen the halls of congress. Broken physically and no doubt also in spirit, he has branded himself a cheater and on top of that stigma, may have to go to Jail. Men who hold high positions should be beyond the money-hungry stage, and that precept should have been followed by the disgraced Representative from New Jersey. o o ■ Master Os Type: The great event of 1949. as many see it. has been none of the better published political and diplomatic happenings, and not even the world series, but the recently completed publication of the large-aixe Bible printed fur the World Publishing Company of Cleveland by the world’s foremost type designer, Bruce Rogers, i The 79xyear-old Rogers is a Hoosier, born near Lafayette and educated at Purdue, but now a resident of Connecticut. His unerring taste in type design has won him the acclaim of the great ones of the art as the master of them ail. The new Bible is his crowning achievement. Experts say that the five most handsomely printed Dibits in history are the one printed by Johann Gutenberg in the middle of the fifteenth century. the first printed book and still rated as the finest volume printed; the British Bibles printed at the Baskerville and Doves presses; the Oxford Lectern Bible of 1935, and the Bible of 1949. Two of these five, the Oxford Bible and the new volume, were designed by Rogers, who thus gets credit for having created 40 per cent of the world’s most beautiful Bibles. , The United States has long' been known as a land of material achievement. Bruce shows that on occasion It excels! in the arts as well. I
