A Denver man was granted a divorce because his wife continuously laughed at him. We can see how it would make a guy a little nervous. He charged extreme cruelty. . 1 < Looks as though we are going to get rid of the “junk” mail but we will, probably continue to reciieve the steady arrival of persuasive letters from many organisations and Individuals who enjoy putting “a touch” on those who are afraid they will miss some such opportunity. _ — o —o— The Huntington Herald-Press is advocating that some rich man of the community pick out a good down town location, buy the property and convert it into a free parking lot. Sounds good but wc doubt if any one cares to go to that much trouble to reduce his taxes. But as the HeraldPress says, “it is a suggestion.” 0 ol——— If you do or don't want a three percent sales tax slipped over on you, we advise you to write your representative and senator and tell them how you feel about it. The grand old rush will soon be on by the law makers and it might be easy for them to enact such a law. 0 o Educational leaders are shocked because President Eisenhower’s budget with all its hundreds of pages did not include a penny -for new school buildings. Os course it may come later but If there is no provisions in the budget, how far will they get? And education, it is agreed. Is one thing this nation cannot longer save by disregarding. 1 V - SE**" V ». • •• - Fat women are becoming smooth shop lifters it seems as they have many places to hiae things. Police at Berkely.

. , The 3198,000 spent by the Adams county Welfare department seems on the surface like a huge amount of money. However, a big portion of this money comes from * the state and payments are mandatory in compliance with the state welfare law. Actually there Is only a 10 cent welfare tax in the county and so actually we get a tremendous amount for our share of the money. —o More evidence that Adams county la a good place to live is shown in the annual report of County Auditor Frank Kitaon. The financial report shows this county is a strong position, with all funds solvent. The only indebtedness against the county is in the form of 318,000 in county infirmary bonds. AH of these bonds have been paid when due and the entire amount will be recalled in a few years. The Kitson report should make us all glad that we reside in Adams county. * 0 3— It always is a danger sign when the majority party in a state legislature begins to squabble. IF is always the people who suffer when such an incident occurs. Thia seems to be happening in Indiana right now. There Is a certain group of legialatora who seem to think that any piece of legislation sponsored by Gov. Craig is bad, It seems doubtful if this group even would vole to remove the Governor, if the Governor sponsored it. Maybe as Democrats, we should lean back in our easy chairs and smile. However, that would be the easy way out. If the Governor is stymied in all parts of his program, the people will suffer. We believe in the right of criticism but we don’t believe that the general assembly is the place to build political machines. The situation places a hard job on the shoulders of the Democratic minority. That leadership must look for what is best for the majority of the people of the state and vote accordingly. Inter-party bickering usually means that the leadership I is weak.

Orders Mrs. Moss Restored To Dufy Wilson Impatient With Army's Delay WASHINGTON (INS) — Defense secretary Charles E. Wilson was represented today aa having become impatient with army security procedures before ordering Mrs. Annie Lee Moss restored to “non-sensitive” duty. An official who described Wilson as “strong-minded," said the secretary had been “bothered, or concerned,” for months and feared the security risk case against her would drag on indefinitely. Defense department legal counsel Wilbur M. Brucker assured newsmen that Wilson had ample authority to intervene. even though the case was still pending and no decision had been reached by army secretary Robert T. Stevens. Il was recalled that Wilson previously had said that the military establishment “should not get little people out on a limb and leave them dangling,” Mrs. Moss, 49. a 33.335-a-year TypiaFTor the army signal corps, was suspended last Aug. 4 after Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wla.) charged thab she had a “known Communist record." ‘ She denied the charges. Mrs.Mary S. Markward, who testified that a woman named Annie Lee paid Communist Party dues , between 1943 and 1946. was unable to identify the Pentagon employe ’as the same person. Wilsen said there was some "derogatory” information in Mrs. Moss’ personnel record prior to 1946 but it did not support a conclusion that she is '-’actually subversive or disloyal to the U.S.” Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
