The end of the year has arrived. Tomorrow we will start 1956. Optimism prevails In the Decaturarea Decatur merchants "have Just completed one of their most successful years. Hundreds of new homes have been Constructed here and plans are underway for many more in 1956. The new city officials have promised to do all in their power to keep astride of the times and give the people a progressive administration. We have excellent Churches and schools. Our people are happy and .. there is less poverty in Decatur than any city its size in Indiana. Let’s keep Decatur the best city in the world. Happy Npw Year! 0 0 Scores of . people in Adams county remeber Decatur’s first movie house. John B. Stoneburner, prominent Adams county resident and former Washington township trustee was the owner of that first movie bouse. He died late Thursday after an illness of several months. Mr. Stoneburner was long active in civic affairs of the community and in politics, being a staunch Democrat. For the last twenty-five years he has been a successful W T ashington township farmer. Until confined to his residence several months ago, he scarcely missed £ day visiting in Decaftir. The Daily Democrat Joins his many other friends in offering condolence to Mrs. Stoneburner in this time of grief. 0 0That Decatur’s business section will grow materially is evidenced by the announcement of John R. Worthman, noted Decatur and Fort Wayne Architect, that he was planning construction? of a business section on east Monroe street, Just east of the St. Mary’s river bridge on U. S. highway 224. Only the bridge will separate the present Monroe street business section from the new. Many local people also are interested in the suggestion by Mr. Worthman that there will be sufficient ground left in his development for a large artificial lake. Decatur will grow and prosper; through the works of men of vision like Mr. "Worthman.

Keep them an inch or so away. The rooms will look much better and the wall paper will not be damaged. Kitchen Curtains It is a mistake to make the kitchen curtains out of any material other than a kind that is easily laundered, as these curtains should be washed at least every two or three weeks. Oriental Rugs The colors of a real Oriental rug can be revived by going over it with a cloth dampened in a vinegar and water solution. • * 0 0 Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE I o■ — 0 Q. A woman I know is always using the expression, “my dear,” when speaking with people. Is this considered good form? Ar It is all right, but it can be overdone, especially if used indiscriminhtely to strangers, as well as gooff friends. Q. Is a business man obligated to thank any of his employees for any particular service rendered? A.-While he is not exactly obligated, still it shows thoughtfulness and good manners if he does acknowledge these Q. Js “Mr. Wallace, meet Mr. Edwards” a correct form of introduction ? - - A. No. It is much better to say, “Mr. Wallace, this is Mr. Edwards." Dallas — While the U. S. population was increasing 15 percent from 1940-50, per capita use of oil Jumped 56 percent.

Salad Suggestion By International News Service If you want to follow up a heavy holiday meal with a light one, try a salad. Start by breaking a crisp head of lettuce into small pieces. Add sliced radishes, cucumber, a quartered tomato, julienne - cut green pepper, celery, carrots, green onions and fresh watercress. Mix these ingredients with your favorite olive oil dressing recipe and top the salad bowl with anchovy filets, capers and quartered hard-boiled egg. If yoiir family likes things 'really spicy, serve with garlic bread. ’ Z Trade in a Good Town — Decaiuf — ————
