The -New York city excursion which is in the planning stage should receive your close attention. It will provide many with an opportunity to see the great city and to have some new experiences at a very nominal cost. Details will be published soon and they will be worthy of your atteni tion. - The holiday death toll was considerably less than safety experts predicted. It is encouraging to learn that we are making some progress in safety education and that most drivers are becoming more concerned with their own welfare which adds up to greater • consideration for others. Keep up the good work—keep out of the traffic statistics. - , ,0-0— One of our neighboring states has seen fit to post signs at most road intersections to provide even the residents of the area with responsible directions. A similar plan should be worked out for Indiana to make possible the locating of rural places as easy as that which is found in towns and cities. In cases of emergency, aid could more readily be given to those who are in need. We can learn from others if we are so indined. o o—— It is expected that the minority will again postpone a vote on civil" rights. Filibustering, a timehonored senatorial tradition, is likely, when the controversial is- ; sue is brought before the Senate in the near future. Some suggest longer sessions to wear down the opposition and enable the "pros” to out-maneuver the “cons.” Such displays of finesse have long been the custom in Congress and it is probable that they will continue despite the protestations of many. fr o o— Pteasure-bent Americans spent *ll7 million in the Caribbean area last year and this does not include transportation costs. Statistics shqw that the average daily expenditure was *22 per person. A Majority went by air and spent an average of nine days with the fir three months of the year having the heaviest tourist trade. New hotels and other facilities will induce even more visits to that area in the future. Maybe our dollar diplomacy can be relieved if such a trend continues.

De-emphasizing horse-power is obvious in automobile publicity so It is now up to the drivers to play it down on the highways. Slow down and live to reach your destination, enjoy your recreation, and return home to contribute your mite to society. o o The local Boy Scouts who are on the trip to the national jamboree will receive a wonderful lesson in American traditions as well as the change to become acquainted with scouts and scouters from all parts of this nation. Such opportunities have long been the rule for Decatur boys and many of these lads have profited from such trips. Scout leaders and parents have done a great job and have helped to develop many fine men over the years. o o— We won’t subscribe to the insinuations that vandalism is entirely the responsibility of youth. To be certain there is a small segment of society that enjoys destruction of property, but in the main, the other ninety-nine percent is more interested in clean, wholesome fun which does not entail destruction. Moral restraint must be induced by those in society who can comprehend the difference between right and wrong. Have you made your contribution? —o—o It looks more and more like a couple of good semi-pro teams could win the major league pennants in a walk. With all the fumbling and stumbling that is going on neither ofthe so-called major leagues have an average team. Real baseball seemsAo have gone out the window in recent years with the advent of the long-ball hitters who delight present-day fans with tape-measure clouts. Base-running, bunting, good defense, and baseball know-how are left in the van with the lively ball that is being thrown plateward these days. One sportscaster described a 9-8 game as “one of the best of the year,” there were some twenty-seven hits including a flock of extrabasers that generally would have been outs when solid ballplayers were around. Hot-rods, rock and roll, and present ball games go hand-in-hand with the craze for the spectacular. '

20 Years Ago Today *■ —— - ■■■■• July 8, 1937—American leaguers battered the National league in the All-Star game by a score of 8-3.

Walter Gard is installed as president of the Decatur Rotary club. He succeeds the Rev. Charles M. Prugh. pastor of the Zion Reformed church. I Heat wave in Decatur is unabated. Mercury soars to 93 degrees* and no relief is promised for several days. Dr. R. E. Daniel and D. Burdette Custer, both first lieutenants in the reserve officers corps of the U.S. army, will leave for Fort Benjamin Harrison Sunday for a two weeks’ training period. Hope wanes for Amelia Earhart as cloudy weather hampers a vast search which is being made soy her missing plane somewhere in the South Pacific.

This will remove only surface stains, though. Discolorations that go all the way through the plastic are usually helpless. Oysters Oysters that are bought in the shells are fresh only if the shells tightly closed. The oysters are dead and not fit for use if the shells are partly open. Sewing Machine Beit The sewing machine belt will be tightened if a few drops of castor oil are placed on it. (h — 0 ’ Modern Etiquette 1 BY ROBERTA LEE I n — A Q. I was recently introduced to a young man and since then he has tried several times to tele- j phone me at my home, but every time I have been out. Would it be proper for me to telephone him? A. It would be all right for you to phone him and say, “I hear you have been ealing me. I’m sorry I was not at home.” Q. If one has just moved into a new neighborhood, and some of the neighbors have paid calls, how soon should one return these calls? A. Within about two weeks. Failure to return these calls is a strong indication that the friendships are not desired. Q. When a girl is walking along the street with a man and he speaks to someone she doesn*t know, should she speak also? A. She should smile and nod her head. This holds true also for the man, should she speak to an acquaintance. COURY NFWS Demurrer Filed In the matter of the’ petition of Fred Stoppenhagen and the board of commissioners of the county ,of Wells, a dfcmurref to the petitioners petition has been filed.

No articles will be I published without signature of | the author. 0— o Thanks Officer Editor Decatur Democrat Decatur, Indiana Sir, I write to congratulate the people of Decatur for having such an efficient, courteous and humane police officer as Constable Strickler —I hope I have the name right. - Last Monday as I drove through Decatur, this officer stopped me to inform me that my car was leaking gas; this would be not only a source of danger but of inconvenience had the car ceased to function out on the open road. When I pulled into a service station to have this repaired, the constable came over to see that everything was alright. When further I told him that I had an elderly invalid in the car, who could not well wait around the garage, he took the patient to the hotel and arranged for him to wait in the relative comfort of the lobby, which was certainly a kindness beyond the letter of his duties. In fact. I was transferring my father from one hospital to another, and was allowed only so much time for a safe trip. Had the car broken down on the open road where repairs would have taken longer, the consequences might have been very grave, likewise, if we had not found comfortable shelter for him through Mr. Strickler’s help. I trust therefore that you will not object, if I turn to you for help in publicly expressing my very great gratitude to this officer. Sincerely yours. Thomas B. Stauffer (Editor’s note: This letter was received from the Chicago office of Barrett O'Hara of the house of representatives in Washington. D.C.) .
