This is a good time to.be think M ing about the good resolutions® you intend making January I.Q 1956. We can all think of some ■ way we intend to improve for our own good and those whom we live among. ( 0 0 We don’t get much of a "kick” from the man who boasts about takldg a cold bath on these mornings when the thermometer reads 15 o_r 20 above aero, especially if the bath room has cooled off with the weather. 0 o It begins to look as though after all the bluster, Tom Dewey, twice a candidate for president and twice defeated, may be the fellow to watch. He practically runs his party now and it's a sure thing he will either be a candidate or in the corner of the one who is. O -0_ Dr. John Wesley Carr, Hoosier bred, celebrated his 98th birthday in New York City where he resides now in his closing days with a grandson. He has been a great educator, teacher, superintendent and college president and in his later years a historian. He served as head of schools at Mancie, Anderson and Dayton in the midwest and says he still enjoys life and loves his friends. 0 0 For the convenience of Christmas shoppers, most Decatur stores are remaining open nights from now until Christmas eve. This year, our city has become shopping headquarters for residents of a wide area. We believe there are two reasons for this great influx of shoppe’rs tb Decatur. First, the merchants of De- . catur offer shoppers the most for the least, not only at Christmas time but the year around. Second, *. -' - • • almost everyone in the Decatur area reads the advertisements in the Daily Democrat and readily notes that Decatur’s merchants have the best bargains available. The Daily Democrat is proud of the fact that it gives its readers the most reading for the least and its advertisers the best advertising medium in the area at a price far below the average of comparable Indiana daily news-
