Automobile checks for safer driving are being conducted by state police in various parts of Indiana. The officers check automobiles tor possible mechanical difficulties in brakes, horns, lights, windshield wipers and if your car passes the examination you are given a "Courtesy” sticker to place on your windshield. Motorists should be glad to stop the few minutes that it takes to have their car inspected free. o__o Six teams have-'been selected for Little League baseball competition and the League will open Tuesday night May 31 at Worthman field. If you haven’t seen these little fellows play baseball, you’re missing a wonderful summer treat They do all the tricks like double plays, double steals, hit home runs and everything that you'd expect from big leaguers. Plan to see some of these games and you’ll get some mighty fine entertainment 0 0 Teaching contracts for the 1955-56 school year in the Decatur Public School system will be made public soon. A large percentage of the present teachers will return and several new ones w'ill be added. The School Board and Superintendent W. Guy Brown have screened many applicants for jobs in the school system and we are sure that they will continue to keep the Decatur teaching staff one of the finest in the state. ■ ; . . . . 0 0 Members of the recent Indiana General Assembly apparently made a miscue in the new statute which increases more than 100 percent the service fees which can bo collected by local automobile license bureaus. In some in- . stances the law permits the setting of any service charge. The state manager of the bureaus under the secretary of state, however, has come to the rescue of a worrying public with a statement that standard fees will be set up so that all bureaus will charge the same amount for each service rendered.

A floor plan and request for assistance of all Decatur citizens to help with the formulation of a program are contained in a pamphlet to be distributed to every home in Decatur this week by officials of the Youth and Community center. Distribution will be made by school children of the city under the guidance of Harry Dailey. Decatur high school instructor. Every citizen is asked to read the circular thoroughly and assist in making the year-round program by checking the various items on the questionnaire. The floor plan will give you an idea of the many uses possible in your new building. ft 0 0— Members of the Adams County Bar Association have joined hundreds of other Adams county citizens in favoring the installation of an automatic lift, either an elevator or escalator in the Court wkuse. In addition to the hundreds of people who are required to go to the Judge’s chambers and the Court room in a year’s time, hundreds of other citizens have business with the County Superintendent of Schools, Attendance or the Sheriff. All of these offices are located on the second floor. Both the front and rear stairways to the second floor are steep and hazardous. There has been a re- . / luctance on the part of county officials to recommend the installation of a lift, but each year new demands for the improvement are received. Court Houses is many nearby counties of comparable size already have the improvement. We are of the firm belief that a large majority at the citizens in this county would greet the improvement with much favor. We hope that the revival of the movement started by the Bar Association members will gain such assistance that the request will not again fal lon deaf ears.
