Unhappiest Christmas in aU the world will be celebrated in Hungary. Russian tank* aim their guns at Christmas shoppers. Money for purchases is disappearing and goods to purchase are almost gone. Their friends in the free world Seem unable to help them. Their youth is being deported to Russia. But the spirit of Christmas, as the spirit of freedom, lives on among the patriots. When all the might of the Russian army can not kill this spirit there is still hope for the world. ■ 0 0 ■— This week the billionth cargo ton passed through the Panama Canal since it was opened 42 years ago. Although methods used by this country in acquiring the territory might not be considered ethical, the unrestricted use of its facilities by all nations is in contrast to political use of the Sues canal by Egypt since it appropriated it from the English and French stockholders. ' -0* 01 the etfecta o< 1116 ck * in < of the Suez Canal could be the eventual internationalization of an such waterways, including the United States Interest in the Panama Canal. The American people may be asked to give over the canal to an international gfoup which would manage all of them lor all nations. We wonder if our citizens would feel any differently than Egypt does if such a proposal were made. o—o A law proposing that drivers under the age of 18 be prevented from obtaining licenses until they, hive completed ffUfWerF training course will be proposed to the next session of the Indiana General Assembly. An immediate complication would arise. Only .25 per cent of drivers in this classification now hire in such classes and only 80 per cent of the schools provide the courses. In addition the waiting list in most schools is so great that mote could not presently be accommodated. The benefit of such a program would be the encouragement of such courses, whose graduates have been so much better than average drivers that many automobile insurance companies are giving reduced premiums to boys who have had the

training. One Southern state proved that with proper supervision and training 16 year olds were the best drivers when they were given the jobs of handlingsthe school buses. This will be a question of interest to every family with a child approaching the driving age. o-—o —*• A report recommending all county officials receive a salary based on the population and wealth of individual counties will be proposed at the next General Assembly by a study commission. Such a change is long overdue. A temporary measure during the last war was adopted giving a per diem increase, with the belief it would be dropped when the expected depression would come in a couple of years. Previous to/this, a county clerk led a battle for increased wages in Marion county. He wjb already earning approximately 325,000 a year and legislators from the smaller counties ganged up on him, putting a flat ceiling on pay and fees in major counties of 310,000. The last major overhaul of county officials’ salaries was in the depression when, by a Voice vote on the last night of the session, the law was inserted as an amendment to another bill in a conference committee report. Most of the members found out what had happened after they got home. In the 1885 session, Gov. Mathews vetoed a state house janitor bill and sent it up to the House with his clerk. The clerk was caught in the elevator by the friends of the bill, who tried to keep him riding up and down until the legislature adjourned. He escaped on the third floor and was met at the door of the House by 25 members who badly mauled him and mutilated another bill he was carrying, the new county officials salaries and fees bill. After some discussion the secretary of state permitted Hie filing of the torn bill in his office which made it a law. Rules have been changed in the legislature, and the members are not so belligfhßft, but there will still be fireJbrks before a new county officials pay law can be passed. Present salaries in some cases, including fees, are less than day laborers.

Chicago Department Store Is Destroyed Half-Block Long Store Is Destroyed CHICAGO (UP)—Authorities today sought the cause of a $1,250,000 fire that destroyed a half-block long department store, injuring five persons and routing about 1,600 Christmas shoppers and employes, including Santa Claus. There was no panic in the flvealarm blaze Tuesday night, despite its swift spread through stacks of merchandise and along strings of brightly colored Christmas decorations. Store Manager Leo Goltz, 37, said about 1,500 shoppers and 150 employes were in the Goldblatts department store 1 when the blaze broke ut in the roof above the drapery department. The injured suffered from smoke inhalation and were released after treatment at nearby hospitals. Among those who fled the flames was Santa Claus, who was seen running from an exit garbed in his red suit and his flowing white beard. The roof caved in within 30 minutes after the first alarm was sounded. Firemen said the onestory building and its contents were a total loss.
