The township assessor and his deputies will soon be making that annual call to appraise your per* tonal property. Remember everything you conceal Just means a higher rate for you and it could get you in a barrel of trouble. o- ■ -o— The Indiana General Assembly is grinding on toward the close of its session. It will be some time yet before the people know just how much more they're to be gouged for government operating costs or what time it is when they look at their clocks. o—o If you don’t have your 1957 auto license plate displayed properly on your motor vehicle next Friday, you will be subject to a fine. Deadline is closing time next Thursday. At this late hour, you may have to stand in line a while, but you can save some time and inconvenience, if you have your current tax receipt, which you must show in order to get your new plate. • »— o— — County highway employes are £ --.- starting repair of roadways, damaged by the ravages of winter. Lawrence Noll, highway superintendent and his crew are working long hours and doing their usual good job of repair work. It’s a tough job to keep our roads in proper repair and it becomes more difficult as trucks become more numerous and heavier. If we all cooperate and stay off of soft road-ways until given the goahead sign, we’ll have better highways all summer long. o o - Mayor Robert D.

It’s tournament week and the i world will revolve around the t ability of some basketball player - to rise above the others and be- - come a star. We're all for the i high school kids who will cele--1 brate their victories. We do hope they femember the rules of the streets and highways when eele- ’ brating. Avoid accidents and live t to celebrate many more victori ies. r o—o , Mayor Robert Cole and chief of police James Borders have or* . dered a crack-down on speeders, because of a recent near tragedy near the Northwest school. This ♦ , is commendable action and many motorists and pedestrians hope . that the city officials tie it in with t an order to stop the vicious pract tice of parking delivery trucks on yellow lines, leaving trucks unL attended with the motor running and, double parking. It is easy to t have an orderly process of traffic, especially if a few arrests t are made and some stiff fines imposed. Let’s have laws which can be administered the same for everyone. If they art wrong or impose hardships to a larger extent than they provide safety and protect people, then let’s re- . peal them. ——•o o Kenneth Eugene Thompson, Bluffton boy, who was sentenced to the Indiana Boys School until he “reached the age of 21 years,’’ after confessing to several rapes, some in Adams county, reportedly is to be considered soon for release from that state institution. Thompson was sentenced by Judge Myles F. Parrish. Without delving into the merits of the : case, we would like to call attention of the people ttrfoe fact that i neither Judge Parrish nor Prosecutor Lewis L. Smith can do anyt thing about the matter. The Indii ana Appellate court has held that “while original jurisdiction in all • juvenile cases is with the juven- [ lie court, after committment, the > juvenile court loses all jurisdic- ! tiop.”' Any action taken by the - trustees of the Boys School will s be their responsibility entirely, r and Judge Parrish would be help- - less in the matter. Right or wrong - that is the decision of the Ap* i peltate Court. We believe that t these facts are pertinent, because r there could be lots of unjust crits icism on local officials who have absolutely no control over the situation.
