Amateur gardeners are swamp* tag the seed and plant counters of local stores this week, and indications are that everybody is attempting to make up for lost time. There should be a lot of pretty flowers in local yards tn about two months or so. ' .0 O'- ■ Look out for a new record at next Saturday’s running of the great Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Louisville, where some ten or twelve of the world’s greatest three-year-old horses win run for the some hundred thousand dollars. Experts say this year’s race should be the fastest in the history of Kentucky Derby racing. Sen, Von Eichhorn of Uniondale was the co-sponsor in the last General Assembly of a law which next July 1. prohibits the Sunday sale of used or new automobiles. A half dozen attorneys has told us that the measure is Class legislation and probably unconstitutional. We can’t see that it is any mere harmful to sell an automobile on Sunday than it is a package of chewing gum or a lead pencil. Retail business continues upward in Decatur and the shoppers of this area are being treated to the finest bargains and quality in the history of local merchandising. Be sure and read all of the advertisements for bargains > m ail types of merchandise. In fact you and your friends are missing a bargain if you are not a regular subscriber to the Daily Democrat -—o o—— Spring days are days of joy. •Z We can see new life and beauty in every tree and fresh flower. We’re fortunate for the splendid citju which we have. Our community Is clean and a big majority of our citizens are the type of people with whom it is a pleasure to associate. There is little crime in Decatur. Our county, c*r and township officials are people who m we can trust. What

Highway engineering experts revealed recently that it will cost Indiana the staggering sum of a billion and a half dollars in the next ten years to bring our highways up to par with neighboring states. Won’t that make the eager mouths of the crooked road administrators and their employes water? Surely a means of checking huge expenditures could be devised which would protect the taxpayers, the state and the entire motoring public. "O' O - A number pl Decatur retail stores may start a new plan soon of remaining open until 9 o’clock on Friday nights and closing at 5:30 o’clock on Saturday evenings for the week-end. The system is being used extensively in numerous northern Indiana communities and apparently is satisfactory. The plan gives employes of stores and store owners a longer week-end and also provides ample time each day for shoppers. No combined action has been taken on Thursday afternoon closing as yet, but several local stores are remaining closed Monday mornings. You are urged to watch the individual store ads in this week’s editions of the Daily Democrat for actual store hours. o o l—— Try-outs for the annual 500-mile Indianapolis speedway classic to be run May 30 at the world-fam-ous track will start soon. Entries, through the trial system will be cut to 33 of the'fastest cars entered. For many years, there has been criticism of the classic and accusations have been made that the track is a deaot trap, but the critics should remember also that hundreds of improvements on their car, including tires, radiators, engine parts, steering and the like get their first test for stability and ruggedness on these racing cars. The speed is not of consequence, but the ability of the various parts of a car to stand the gap is most important to each of us. In addition to this the classic draws more than 200,000 from all over the world to Indiana. It is truly a classic.

Why does Decatur have such rough railroad crossings? Every one in town is so rough that you have to go slow to cross so you won’t wreck your car or blow out a tire. I’m only 10 years old but it seems to me that they could be fixed. I hate to have to ride my bike to school and cross the tracks every day. I know a lot of kids feel the same way. None of the towns around us has such crossings. We don’t need them either. Randall Cliffton Decatur, route 3.
