April with its unpredictable weather is proving to the world that nobody can predict what tomorrow holds. —-0-0-Easter seals are the most popular this year that they’ve ever been. Get w handful and place them on the letters you write between' now and 'Easter. Every penny paid for a Seal goes to a worthy cause. Ninety cents is added to your gasoline bill for state and federal tax every time you buy ten gallons of gasoline in Indiana. Gov. Handley recently said "total Indiana tax increase was about five cents a day. The two figures are rather far apart. ■O' ■■ o- — We talk and worry a lot about the death rate of various diseases. The American Cancer Society has come up with a new statistic. Because of research made possible by the dollars you give, a cancer patient is saved eyery four minutes. Isn’t that fact worth the work and worry of an annual drive for funds? Grim disaster in the form of a devastating tornado struck Texas this week and ripped its way across that state killing and Injuring many and destroying almost uncountable homes and whole cities. First to come to the aid of a sickened and hurt people was the Red Cross. These workers «idnt ask creed or politics. They pitched in to bring aid and comfort to the distressed. The Red Cross again proved itself in an emergency. Have you joined this great organisation? You still have time. —-o—o With the first quarter of 1957 ended. County Auditor Ed F r Jaberg and his deputies have fitted * i||nmselves into the pattern of county government in such splendid style that you would scarcely know there had been a change in administration. The popular and efficient Auditor has done a magnificient job in administering the affairs of the county and has proved himself to be a veteran in coping with county problems. Present indications are that Auditor Jaberg will establish for himself and the Democratic party a record in public office which will not be equalled in a lz«na limn

Indiana’s big and famous Memorial Day Classic, the annual Five Hundred Mile Race, already 4 gives promise of being its usual thriller. More than thirty-three entries already have been received and this is the number permitted to start each year in the gruelling contest. The big race each year attracts hundreds of thousands and racing enthusiasts down on Indianapolis from all over the world, making the Hoosier Capitol facing headquarters. It's a great spectacle and if you haven’t seen it, you’ve missed one of the wonders of the world. o -oLuke MajorH, genial general manager of the Decatur golf course, is preparing a great program for local golfers and t also for visitors at the local course • this summer. Tournaments and league play will be emphasized and Manager Majorki said that every effort would be made to have the type of play which would Interest the greatest number of participants. The formal opening date is dependent on the weather, but “early birds’’ who can’t wait to start swinging away are being accommodated at the course. A special effort will be made to attract out-of-city golfers and the new manager said that several special events were on tap for tha visiting golfers. —«o—o The annual Decatur Catholic high school basketball banquet, paying tribute to Commodore players and coaches is scheduled for April 11. This year’s dinner is of special interest because It marks the first year of steering of the Commodores by Al Lindahl, popular and respected Catholic high school, coach. Mr. Lindahl fn a year’s time was able to build a fighting aggregation and in doing so he became most popular with both the players and tee fans. In another year, there is ho doubt the Commodores will be a strong sectional. title contender. So this year’s dinner is significant in that it marks the start of a new erg,. Coach Lindahl quickly accepted his responsibilities here and the dinner, which actually honors the Coach and the players, should and no doubt will be a rousing success.
