Gasoline prices have been raised to 84 cents an imperial gallon and probably will go higher. O . O'” Indiana motorists enjoy their version of Russian roulette. They blythely proceed to kill themselves and knock over pedestrians at an ever increasing rate. By now their record is 5*4 per cent above last year. More horsepower and less horse sense is the magic formula. ——o o ■ ~ Our boys in this area are better because of the unselfish work done on their behalf in the Boy Scout movement by our civic leaders. E. E. Rydell has been renamed south district chairman of the Anthony Wayne council. Rydell and Oran Schultz this week were given special awards for their work during the past year. The city today and the city's future prospects are better because of the encouragement given the Boy Scouts by these men. They deserve our thanks. o o—•No one disagrees with the findings of the State Legislative Advistory Commission and the Commission on State Tax and Financing Policy which have come up with the conclusion that the state must either reduce its services or increase its taxes. The problem is why it took the expense of two commissioners to make public this obvious fact. At the rate the Craig administration is spending, the surplus left by former Gov. Schricker the state will be in debt 38 million dollars in the next two years. The unanswered ques-

tion which both commissions have ducked is what services didn't Indiana taxpayers get under Gov. Schricker they are liLw kitting under Gov. Craig. O —oi— December temperatures almost hit a new higft this week, according to the weatherman. But if the weatherman doesn’t produce some Christmas weather the temperatures of some of our businessmen will set a record. It takes good salesmanship to sell a winter overcoat as a Christmas present to a customer in shirt sleeves. We have a lot of faith in our storekeepers and the weatherman and believe both will have their usual successful season before it is over. Which might remind you that if you do your shopping now you will avoid the crowds due* on the next taste of cold weather. o o What is a carnival worth to a community? Local businessmen are trying to decide this prob14m. In favor of it are undoubtedly the youngsters who enjoy the rides and shows. Others bebelieve the kids are entitled to enjoy a clean, well regulated street fair at least once a year. Still others favor it because . each year it raised sufficient sums for most of the retail promotions. Opposing it are the merchants who believe it takes money from the community while adding little to it. Also on this side of die argument are those merchants who devote hours of work to a project which for the week that it is in town actually decreases their business. As an alternative one group proposes a public dinner or barbecue connected with a trade fair, style show, and other entertainment, possibly a community dance for the youth. What do you think? The merchants who plan the activities are doing it for your benefit. Next time you are in your favorite retail store why don’t you express your opinion?
