With autumn weather approaching, bowling alleys throughout the nation will start operation. Bowling, one of the top sports of fall and winter for both men and women, is becoming the number one hobby for millions of Americans. Almost every town and city in the United States has several bowling teams. Keen competition and the fact that it’s a pleasant way to spend several hours of relaxation and exercise have helped the ancient sport come into its own. . 0 ' 0 ■■■■ Labor Day is upcoming this next week-end. With the holiday coming on Monday, it makes for a long week-end and the millions of motor trips which always accompany an extra day off. The nation a week from today will shamefully count its dead from traffic mishaps and water accidents. Then we’U settle back and do nothing about it. Almost 95 percent of the traffic tragedies are avoidable. Less speed and no drinking until you arrive at your destination and giving the approaching vehicle half of the highway are three good rules to follow. Mlles of warnings are printed each holiday, and we have come to a place in our modernday history, where the writers write the warnings automatically, knowing full well they will be largely ignored.

Plans are in readiness for the drive of the people of Decatur to raise a 843,000 fund to buy acreage at the southwest edge of Decatur for a future factory site. The idea originated in the Chamber of Commerce and soon became a city-wide project. Those in charge are approaching the move with a very proper thought. The land won’t-just be given to anyone who comes along, but the people of the city will have a big word in selecting what type of factory will be sought-In controlling the type of factory, the people will also control the type of growth Decatur will have. Certainly. we are not class conscious but we should guard with jealousy the many advantages we have built through the years and offer them only to those who like us will appreciate the Decatur way of life.

Transfer Os Road Funds Is Approved Board Os Accounts Approves Transfer INDIANAPOLIS (UP) —A controversial 12 million dollar state highway department fund transfer remained on .the books today after an investigation by the state board of accounts. The board investigated after Col. Thomas G, McCulloch resigned in protest as highway department chief clerk. He said highway chairman Virgil Smith tried to spend nearly all the department’s maintenance funds too quickly. Budget di recto r Robert King approved the transfer several weeks ago. The transferred funds were to be spent in the first quarter ending next Saturday. They included eight million dollars allotted for construction in the last three quarters of the 1856-57 fiscal year and four million for maintenance. McCulloch said Smith sought to tie up maintenance funds in long range construction con tracts to leave the next administration with a shortage. Maintenance equipment had to be contracted for far ahead of the winter season, Smith said. A balance of more than 26' million dollars in non-obligated funds was shown in the accounts board investigation. That sum was out of an appropriation of 63 million tor the year. King said it was customary to spend heavily in the first quarter and the expected cash balance of six million at the end of the year was about the same as the previous year. Chairman Laurence Baker. Kendallville, said Smith said he “would comply” with a committee request to make detailed lists of projects from now on. 20 Yeors Ago Today •- — • August 28—Indiana Democratic editors meet at French Lick for mid-summer meeting.
