Speed this year is terrific and the first seven men to qualify for the 33 positions in the race have broken the track record. If there Is any Justification for the more than two miles a minute speed of motor vehicles, certainly everyone is agreed the race track is the place for it 0 o Yesterday was jack-pot day for major league baseball. Every team in both major leagues, with the exception of the Yankees and Kansas City, had double headers scheduled and all scheduled games were played. The day brought some joy and some heartaches to baseball fans all over the nation. Fever pitch interest will continue until late in September when a champion is decided. It’s a great game and it is one of the tew which has been, kept clean. -■ • *'’ ’ ’ / ‘* q 0 —- / Speed and death combined again Sunday to bring sadness to the GeAFvl“cofimuWan<r a young mother was killed as an automobile driving at a reportedly fast rate of speed went out of control. Two other occupants of the automobile were seriously injured. The fatal accident happened in Allen county on state road 427. "We read about such accidents with much interest, make resolutions to slow down, and then many of us go out on the .highways the same day to see how fast we can drive. Only when Courts crack down on the speeders and reckless drivers will we have any symptom of safety on our highways.

Decatur’s two beautiful free parks are open for the season tc the general public. Yesterday’! weather wasn’t exactly inviting for picnics, but both parks were opened. Most of the playground equipment at both Hanna Nutt man and Memorial parks was in use all day Sunday. Picnic tables and fireplaces have been repaired and|cleaned and the lawn areaq of both parks have been cut. The parks will now be open every day of the week until late in the fall. Closing time is II o’clock at night and city police will patrol the parks each night to see that the closing hour is observed. 0 0 Young men of both Decatur high schools who will be gradm ated this week and next week are faced with a serious problem; Construction companies and some industries are offering the new graduates fabulous salaries to Work for them. The problem is whether to take the jobs or to continue their education. Two dollar an hour wages sound inviting but much more important to a young man than today’s dollar is a sound education, through which he can continue to advance in any field he chooses. Our advice to every graduating young man and woman of all Adams county schools is to "get all the education you can”. We are sure you won’t be sorry In the years ahead. ... —..0-— — Kitson, county auditor has published the annual call for the month-long meeting of the board of review on June 4, 1956. This board composed of five members, Dick Burdg, Republican, s Mrs. Niland Ochsenrider, Democrat and three county officials, ■ Mr. Kitson, Walter Koos, asses--1 sor and Waidd Neal, treasurer, has the task of reviewing all assessments made for tax purposes in Adams county. J|, is an im portant job and of course gets more important each year, be cause al Idemands for township municipal and county taxes are based on the assessed valuation of a township, city and the coun ty as a unit. While an all out effort was exercised this year tc place all motor vehicles including automobiles, trucks and tractors on the tax list, some naturally were missed by assessing officers. Perhaps, these can still be found and added to the county’s valuation.
