It's all worth seeing. This is Book Week. 0 0i— Almost every adult person in Adams county has received their Christmas seals from the Tuberculosis Association. We know the officers and others will appreciate a response enclosing a donation. We al iknow how helpful this organization has been and how badly it is still needed. Tuberculosis is one ailment that can be driven out. Assistance given by a liberal response to this work 8 is still needed. Please help. Wednesday, December 15 will be observed as “S. D.” when it is hoped the nation can spend 24 hours without a single serious traffic accident. The day is to be preceded by a whole month of care and the cooperation of every organization is asked by the President’s Action Committee to cooperate. Remember that last year one person was killed in traffic accidents every 14 minutes so you can see what a job has been " measured out to each individual in the country. 0 0 The annual Christmas Seal campaign, sponsored by the Adams County Tuberculosis association is under way. A half million seals have been mailed to Adams county citizens. The seals, which sell for a penny each, are attractive and are used on Christmas letters and packages; The money derived from the sale is used locally to aid in stamping out tuberculosis and helping those who have contracted the disease. It is a worthy cause and should be supported by every citizen of the county. 4> o Most , Decatur retail stores remained open until 9 o’clock last Wednesday night and will continue to do so until after Christmas. From the appearance of the city last Wednesday indications are that hundreds •of shoppers will take advantage es the extra hours. It is a convenience to shoppers and it seems that the_ little additional effort it requires from the retailers will pay off in larger weekly sales. Several shoppers last Wednesday night stated that because of their work hours, this was the first week-day they had been in Decatur stores for months. 0 0—Alger Hiss, former assistant secretary of state will be released from federal prison at Lewisburg, Pa., on November 27. He has paid_ and will continue to pay a terrific price for his misdeeds. He is 50 years old and will return to his wife and 13-year old son in New York but will have to report to parole officials until March 1956. He will never be able to vote, to hold public office or to leave the country unless given a presidential pardon nor will he be able Barn Tour Thursday Is Well Attended The ham totir Thursday, sponrored by the dairy project coinrniitee. was a complete success, stales counij agent L. E. Archbold. ■Seventy interested farmersi made the five stops. At the Chrfk Stahly faun, they saw a pole type building tbat-wee-put tip as a macliinety shed.

At the second slop they saw a bain that bud been remodeled by Sitvimau VooGuuteU. He has rl>-

to practice his profession, the practice of law. He has been a good prisoner and was allowed some time for that and will be offered a suit of cheap clothing and $30.00 in “gate money” which he will probably refuse. What a price! —0 —- The rest rooms in the Court House will remain open for the convenience of the public until 11 o'clock each night. The Adams county commissioners have agreed to a request by Chamber of Commerce officials that the rooms remain unlocked. Several months ago the rooms were ordered closed at 6 o'clock each night, because they became a loitering place for youngsters and because of serious damage to the equipment. How long the reopening will be permitted is up to the public. Abuse of the convenience will bring about another close order. Public rest rooms are a convenience, especially for travellers but it should be realized that the expensive equipment ought to receive the proper treatment from tfae users. 0 0 Four men, lodged in the Adams county jail, charged with breaking into the Pleasant Mills school, have confessed to a series of burglaries in Indiana and Ohio which cover a period of a year and a half and the loot stolen totals more than $65,000. Adams county officials, state police officers and authorities from several Ohio counties were successful in obtaining the confessions. The Irony of our system is that three of the four alleged thieves have asked for pauper attorneys to represent them and that, plus cost of the hearing* ing iq the county jail will cost you Mr. Taxpayer hundreds of dollars. This is not a criticism of any individual, merely of a system of law which gives these undesirables these rights. Maybe our police system is wrong, too. We spend lots of money catching thieves and killers and perhaps we should spend more money trying to prevent such things. —0 0- — The architect’s drawing of Decatur’s proposed northwest elementary school was shown to members of the Lincoln Parent* - Teachers association last night by Supt. W. Guy Brown. A re* production appears in tonight’s Daily Democrat. Contracts will be let for construction of the building in a few weeks and the completion date has been set for prior to the opening of schools next September. The northwest building, is the first of two new elementary schools to be erected here. When they are both completed and a few alterations are made at the two present school buildings, the physical property of Decatur public schools will be the best available in the middlewest. The school system is keeping up with the constant growth of this area and the children of this community are fortunate.

OLD MAN-AND THE SEA

Rises Sunday For Former Governor Ed Jackson Funeral Sunday Afternoon ORLEANS, Ind. (INS) — A tempestuous chapter iu American political history was recalled today as Indiana prepared to bury the man who was governor from 1925 to 1929. The body of Ex-Governor Ed Jackson lay in state today at an Orleans funeral home. Last rites will be conducted Sunday afternoon. The former Republican governor, whose full name was Edward Lane Jackson, died Thursday at the age of 80 at his country home, Fairhill, near Orleans. Mr. Jackson’s political career crossed paths with that of D. C. Stephenson, onetline grand dragon of the Indiana Ku Klux Klan, and the association brought an unfortunate end to his years of public service. Stephenson now is serving a life term in the Indiana state prisqp for the death of a former statehouse employee. After he was convicted. Stephenson smuggled a number of documents from his ‘black box” which brought court and grand jury actions involving several high Officeholders. including Gov. Jackson. Mayor John L, Duvall, of Indian apolis. and others, f Gov. Jackson avoided a jury decision on in indictment of attempted bribery by pleading the statute of limitations in a 10-day trial in 1928. After his acquittal, he continued his gubernatorial term, then retired to private law practice. He was born on a Howard county farm, and after working as a farmhand and sawmill laborer, began “reading law” nights and daytimes in the office of a Tipton judge. The ex-governor began his law practice at Kennard, in Henry county, and worked in a bickyard when the law business was .slack.
