We’ve noticed highway trawl on several of Indiana’s main highways the last several week-ends. There are still many automobiles and trucks being driven far beyond the state speed limit. A close look at these vehicles reveals that a big majority of the offenders have out-of-state license plates, 0 0 Major league baseball is still plagued by Inclement weather anti every week since the start of the season numerous games have, been postponed. Attendance in the two major leagues is smaller than a year ago, largely because of the weather. Interest is still high among the millions of fans. 0 0 From the appearance of the drenched land throughout this area, it appears as if we've had sufficient rain for a while. Bunday's downpour temporarily flooded low place's and streets, but the water disappeared in an hour or two. Records reveal that rain in this area is far short of the rain our neighboring counties to the north have experienced in the last two weeks. 0 0 Judging by the increased attendance at motion* picture establishments and from the increased amount of week-end automobile traffic, television is losing many of its former patrons. The television industry apparently is' cheapening its programs, and often times the larger networks show repeat performances of certain shows, which reduces the audience attendance and interest. 0 0 The people of Decatur owe a vote of congratulations to the young men of St Joseph and Lincoln school who make up the safety patrol. These future good citixens are - stationed at busy street corners before and after school each day to aid police officers in safely guiding school pupils across the street intersections. Again this year they have done an excellent job. 0 0 ■ Engineers of the Layne-North-ern Co. will continue this week to test several possible sources of water for the Decatur water utility. It might be necessary to

drill several test wells in the search for a new supply, but a preliminary check reveals that the present water shortage can be solved by locating a new source close to the city. Os course the engineers are making every effort to find the closest source. 0 o For those interested in the outcome of the several Primary Election contests, you are invited to dial telephone number 3-2171. Lab ets results of the several Adams county contests will be recorded the minute they arrive at, the Daily Democrat office. The telephone news service is offered by Citisens Telephone Co. and the ' Daily Democrat and it is for the convenience of the people of Adams county. Service on 3-2171 will be continued throughout the night 0 0 Tuesday la Primary Election day. It is the duty and privilege of every eligible voter in Adams county to cast a ballot, to help select Democratic and Republican candidates for the November election. A large turnout in a Primary Election indicates that people are interested in their government. Even it there are candidates in the Primary in both political parties, without opposition, a vote cast for those candidates will encourage them as to the importance of the office which they seek. Take a few minutes time tomorrow and vote! 0 0 Governor Shivers, the Texas political traitor, who bolted the Democratic party in 1952 because he didn't get his way at the national bob vention, got a severe reprimand Saturday when the Democrats of that state rallied behind Sen. Lyndon Johnson’s . forces-and elected all Johnson delegates to the 1956 convention. While Johnson is far from a model Democrat and while he has not been an outstanding majority leader from a strictly Democratic party standpoint, the action of Texas Democrats was taken by most leaders as a move toward ultimate victory in November. Shivers will be remembered in Democratic political history along with a former South Carolina Democrat named Byrnes and a few others only in the footnotes.

When a thin coat of either of these hae been applied to the windshield, the condensed moisture spreads out to a film and does not collect in fine drops on the glass which obstruct the vision. Scotch Stains Scotch stains on white goods can be removed very readily by rubbing well with the freshly cut portion of an onion and then placing in the sun. - Rubber Gloves Wear rubber gloves when dyeing any article. The fingers and nails will be protected from discoloring. It is not easy to remove the dye from the crevices of the hands. — £ o Modern Etiquette J BY ROBERTA LEE | 0 • Q. Who goes first ddwn the aisle of a motion picture theater, the man or the woman ? A. The woman precedes. And unless she is with her husband, fiance or someone she knows real well, she should turn to him and ask, "Is this all right?” This gives him a chance — should he be near or farsighted — to suggueet a seat that is closer or farther away. Q. When the ceremony is over at a church wedding, should the members of the immediate families be permitted to leave the church first, before the other people? .'A. Yes, this is the pro;s4r procedure. Q. Should a young person offer a hand when being introduced to an elderly woman? A. Only if the elderly woman offers her hand first.

Warns On Card Use For Identification Warning By Social Security Manager A social security card is Identification for social security purposes only, and should not be accepted as identification for other purposes, Christian H. W. Luecke, manager of the Fort Wayne social security office reminded local storekeepers and their employees today. A person can obtain a social security card and work under any name he wishes, Luecke said. To receive his old age insurance benefits at age 65 or later, ho must prove only that he is the person for whom a social security account has been set up under that name and number, and that the earnings credited to that account have been actually earned «by him. Furthermore, a person can have his name changed on his social security card by filing a request for change of records with the social ( security administration. For ex- - ample, women must always request a change of records when they marry. Although few people i will go to the trouble of obtaining a false social security, card, Luecke pointed out that properly issued carfis ihhy Wi' lost ‘br sidled and may be in the possession of someone to whom it does not belong. Therefore, as may be readily observed, a social security card Is no guarantee that an individual is using the name his mother gave him or that he has a bank account, and merchants who make a practice of cashing checks for their customers should keep this in mind when requesting identification. 43 Adams Central Seniors Make Trip Forty-three seniors from Adams Central high school left this afternoon at 1:34 p.m. by train for their class trip.
