While windshields and car windows froze over, ice and sleet downed six big planes at Baer field Monday. That’s enough of that, Mr. Weatherman. t 0 o>— In this country we read frequently that Italy is on the verge of going communistic, but a municipal election in an important Italian seaport city has changed the picture. The right-wingers beat the Reds In an election that was looked upon as a weathervase in Italian politics. The Reds were ousted from the city offices. Decatur friends of the Fred Bell family were pleased to about the latter’s son, Joseph N. Bell, hitting big time as a writer. The young man has written articles for the Saturday Evening Post and the Reader's Digest which will be published next month.

The Fort Wayae owner informed the city that the scrap had been sold and would be shipped from the site as soon as railroad cars could be obtained.

According to the plan, civilian guards will be between the ages of 25 and 50 and •will be tested for physical, mental and personality fitness before they are hired. They will wear hats, armbands and belts as symbols of authority. They will receive short courses in traffic safety. Keeping youngsters safe on
