Man's apparent decision not to hgve an atonic war, says the Boston Globe, is the moat sensational triumph of common sense since he first decided to come in out of the rain. 0 0 Better be picking out the gifts you Wish to give to loved ones and have them laid away. It's only a little more than three, weeks until you will be hanging J them on the tree. ,o 0 • Decatur stores have enjoyed a heavy patronage this first week of Christmas holiday shopping.

part of the country for it happens about every year and no one has figured out yet how to make it an easy task. - o Prominent citizens of Berne, Geneva and southern Adams county are studying the advisability of building a hospital in or near Berne to accommodate the residents of that area. A board J of directors has been tentatively named and the non profit group will be incorporated soon, according to present plans. Berne and the area around Berne always has been progressive. The homes and farms in southern Adams county reflect the prosperity of the people. Certainly, such a progressive and prosperous section of the middlewest has need for a hospital and from what we have heard there will be little difficulty raising sufficient funds with which to build and operate a hospital. You can bet on one thing, if people of Berne and adjoining ‘ areas start a project, they i finish it. That has been their reoortt and that has been reason ■ 7 number one for Berne being the fine city it is. 0 0 The state of Kansas is going to investigate the “joining” habit which has grown to great pro-port-jns every where. That state will check on their orticials to ascertain how many and how serious are the organizations to which officers belong and why America is a “joiners” paradise. There are Tew meh or women but who belong to a half dozen or more lodges, clubs or organizations of some kind. The habit started with the breaking away ‘ of aristocracy -when men wished to be picked out by the emblems they wore and women joined clubs to break dreary home routines. Now they are going to be investigated in Kansas to find out probably how many of them border on Communistic influences. Even our government officials are spending our money to attend conventions or conferences all over the world.

When a secretary is opening her employer’s mail and comes to ’ an envelope that stems to be personal, what should she do? A. This would depend upon circumstances. Some employers would resent having their personal mail opened. Usually it is better not to open anything that has the appearance of being personal. Q. If the bride-elect has a brother of suitable age, is the bridegroom obligated to ask him to serve as one of the ushers? A. While he is not exactly obligatetL it is a thoughtful gesture and does make for better future relations with his wife’s family. Q. Isn’t it all right, when introducing a man to a woman, merely to say, “Miss White, Mr. Black”? A. Yes. with a alight pause between the names. ,— ... —- - -..t-—■-Household Scrapbook I BY ROBERTA LEE Plaster of Paris If it is desired to increase the toughness of plaster of Paris* dissolve from to 4 ounces of white or yellow dextrfne or gum acacia in the water with which the plaster is to be mixed.

The loyalty of government workers was an issue in the 1954 elections. „ ( The unit heard Thursday that only 342 persons or less than 10 percent of the 3,241 dismissed actually were fired under the Eisenhower security order.
