Let’s hope that this is the last touch of winter and that from Dow on welt have some sunshiny spring days. —-0 Ths atomic blast in Nevada Monday morning produced a mighty fountain of fire which could be seen in Los Angeles. Calif., 300 miles distant. It is too early to know just what the latest blast accomplished. ■—-0 oAll county roads which were covered in spots with flood waters last week are open again to traffic. While the flood waters caused some light witshouts on gravel roads, there have been no reports of serious damage to any bridges in the county. 0 o Sunday Church attendance in Decatur is moving higher every week. For the last two weeks percentages of all local Churches have shown an increase. It would be a great and not impossible example if the Easter Sunday attendance in Decatur hit the 100 percent, mark of every Church's membership. 0 0 You’ll be surprised how easy it is to drive carefully. Have your automobile checked with special emphasis on the lights, brakes, horn and Hyes. Many serious mishaps are caused because some careless driver speeds down the highway with only one light; or perhaps his tires are unsafe for driving or his brakes may be faulty. With spring weather in the offing, this is a good time to have your car completely inspected. 0 0i— Two prominent auto manufacturers, Ford and Chevrolet are Indulging in quite a word battle over who sold the most automobiles in 1954. The sales, according to independent statistical experts, were almost even for the year, which indicates both are building fine automobiles. The 1955 sale of all new' automobiles continues in Decatur at a lively clip and every day more new cars are on the streets. We've noticed one thing. There isn’t such a thing as a low priced car anymore but also £here isn’t such a thing aa a good five-cent cigar anymore either.

Political observers in Indiana seem to be of the opinion that the big fight forcontrol of the Hoosier Republican organisation will continue to wage for another two years, until Sen. Jenner is a candidate to succeed himself. Jockeying during the General Assembly, just closed, by Jenner and Craig forces has been costly to the people of the state and has failed to produce a leader. Both camps will continue, apparently, to get control of the state’s party machinery. —0 0 Adams county’s school busses will be inspected this week. Brakes, tires, and all other important parts of the busses which haul our county’s children to school every day, will come under the critical eye of inspectors. It’d a wise action of the county board of education to insist on periodic inspection of these buses. School bus drivers in this county have incidentally piled up an envious record of transporting school children daily to their schools for the last several years. There never has been a fatality on a school bus in this county and only a few minor mishaps ever have occurred here. Trustees who have the task of selecting the bus drivers have done a fine job in screening their applicants. —o 0 The selfish groups in Indiana seeking to control the professions, crafts and trades through boards, with power to make rules effective the same as laws, didn’t gain too much ground in the General Assembly. These groups, who strive tp tell their members how to conduct business, whether theygcan advertise or not and also who control the number of new entries into their field each year, are as undemocratic as any organizations we know of. Several groups, which frown on paid advertising of any sort as unethical, continue to flood Indiana newspapers with reams and reams of what they call “news stories” attempting to mooch their unsavory practices onto the public free of charge. We believe that any person who is buying a suit of clothes; who is dealing with a plumber or painter or with any professional man, is entitled to know the price before the work is done.
