After a couple of weeks of fair skies it looks like we are really getting ready for old Santa Claus. In other words there are some indications of a white Christmas. ——o 0 Muncie and Connersville are the two latest cities to join the daylight saving time league. They have decided to enter the new time association of Hoosier cities over the weekend. —o . President Eisenhower offers ‘l- - McCarthy some sound advice about starting a new third party. He said in Wednesday's press conference; "You may find that a pretty tough job." 0 0 President Eisenhower displayed great American judgment when he let it bo known he would not stoop to argue with the protege of an old Indian chief, Noisy boy McCarthy. Down in Rio de Janeiro 1,000 doctors are on strike demanding a 20% increase in pay. The situa- . tion among the patients is said to be serious, giving the government officials something to wor- , ry about. 0 0—Evidently the city of Sturgis. Michigan believes in “Bringing Christ back into Christmas”. The big parade to be given there Saturday by the Chamber of Commerce, will have nine floats sponsoring the slogan. 0 0— Perhaps if the members of the United States senate would follow President Eisenhower’s decision and refuse to quarrel with Senator McCarthy or any other person, the country would settle down and discuss the important questions I it" a'clearer* way. —(>—_ As the New Year approaches, with the usual predictions on future prices and times in general we notice that Dr. Gallop has taken a poll on the prices on commodiities and discovers that six out of ten people interviewed believe there will be little change. • Parcels to loved one who are residing 1,000 miles or more away from home should be mailed by Friday of this week, the post office department has warned and letters to distant friends by the first of next week to December 15. 0 o Chicago will try to land another World's Fair in 1876 and are already planning it. A committee of 40 young industrialists have been named on a committee to bring the fair and the Olympic Games to Chicago at that time. They ought to have everything ready in twenty-one years. Invite School Band To Peony Festival The Decatur high school band has been invited to participate next June 8 in the Van Wert, 0., peony festival, a revival of the classic event which was ranked as one of the nation's foremost festivals before it was recessed in 1841.

The bands will appear twice during t>he day—once in an afternoon parade and again in sn evening parade, S2I iNsemnci XA Chrlstlaner Advanced Alton W.

United States S-D day is December 18. Have you been practicing for the 14-hour period when you are asked to be extra cautious in driving and walking?

Spiritual Emphasis week annually attracts hundreds of Decatur cltisens to< the nightly sessions. With a city the size of Decatur, there should be an overflow crowd every nightIt is a week set aside for teaching of the gospel and is well worth the hour spent each night taking part. 0 0 Physician's report to the effect that Simmie Hain, 111, Decatur youngster, who was Struck by an automobile Monday afternoon is out of danger comes as good news to this Young Simmie suffered some head injuries but they are not regarded as serious. Pedestrians and drivers of motor vehicles cap never be too careful. Few traffic tragedies have occurred in Decatur in recent years and this is due to the cautions taken by everyone.
