Trees are starting to show •• few buds and there arc spots green in the grass. Just more evidence that spring isn’t fa: away. —o o Shoppers still have time to ger a good selection of spring clothe* and accessories. Visit the Decs' tur stores and compare qualit’l and prices Our guess is you will return and make Decatur your shopping headquarters. O—O ■•a Have you bought your Easter Seals? Have you contributed to the Cancer Society. Just how good a citizen are we. Many people are inclined to send money to agencies for foreign aid and let our own people suffer with polio, cancer and heart trouble. If we would spend a few pennies at home for research and cure, wouldn’t we be a lot better and stronger nation? o Congress plans to adjourn this week far a ten-day Easter holiday. Those who have the courage to return to hteir home balewicks will find that the citizens are budget-cut minded and that a big majority of them favor such reductions that will assure us all of a tax reduction. Don't hesitate to let your opinion be heard by your Representatives. It’s the Democratic way of government. 1 '■■■ Principal Hugh Andrews has announced that there are sixtynine candidates for diplomas at Decatur high school and unless something unforeseen happens, these youpg men and women will be graduated May 23.

JM The national House has passed Jlthe Post Office deficiency apI'jlpropriation bill, and the Michigan ■■former car lot operator, made M»’ostmaster General, can cancel ■his curtailed mail delivery and Mother exasperating mail restrictMtions. It was a Summerfield viciMtory, no doubt, if you want to call Junsulting millions of people a vic- ■ tory. |B o 0 .J| Activity in the building indus--1 ty has dropped off quite notice- ■ ably, according to the experts. Bl Cause has been tight money and rcluctancy of lending organiza- * tions to relax their lending pol- ’ icies. This doesn’t mean that the bottom has fallen out complete- * ly in the great building industry, ’ but the high interest rates, loan ’ closing costs, title fees and other ' costs connected with the purchase of a new home are causing many prospective buyers to be- ' come most cautious. It’s a good sign because buyers of homes will eventually get more for their money. -U1..0 II .. Major League baseban has started for the 1957 season, and there will be many arguments among the box-seat umpires and just plain fans until the World Series settles everything next October. Hope is still springing in the hearts of all the fans and it will build up until around the Fourth of July. Then as the weaker teams settle down to the routine of who’s going to finish in the cellar, the real ardent fans will figure out what the manager could have done or what the front office could have done to strengthen the team. It is truly the aNtionakpast-time. —o——o Decatur industry and business will suspend for three hours Fri- ■ day, from noon until three o’clock in observance of Good Friday. Good Friday does not mark the end of the story. Actually it marks the beginning of a new life for everyone. Every Christian in the world starts with the three hours on the Cross and tries to be guided through life by the thought that if Jesus had not spent this time of suffering, the world would be a pretty dull place in which to live. Since that fateful day, no one has ever come up with a better and finer way of life. Sunday we will all celebrate the Resurrection and the beginning of a New Day for all of us.
