The Indiana State Fair, which opens the last of this month, promises to be the greatest ever held. Many great events are being announced, which go to make a great fair even greater. The exhibits Improve each year and we’ll proudly match the Indiana exposition with any similar event in the whole world. O O — There are less than ten reservations remaining open on the Decatur to New York Erie railroad excursion, starting August 23. If you are considing making this trip, you are urged to file an application for your reservation at once. The coupon will be published one or two more times in the Daily Democrat and as soon as reservations are made for 45 persons, no more will be available. A Lagrange county eccentric, who lived alone at a small lake near Wolcottville became angered this week because a banker in the LaGrange county town refused to cash a check for him. The enraged man got a gun and killed the banker. He is lodged in the county jail with charges of first degree murder against him. If we know the officials of that northern county as well as we believe we do, justice will be forth-coming immediately. Such a crime should be answered with maximum punishment and it no doubt will. The case will be of especial interest here because of the nearness of the crime. „ o > o — Television show planners will have to start from scratch this fall if they hope to have even a part of their viewing audience of the past. Summer programs have caused most TV fans to turn off their sets and return to movie®, baseball games and readof the sets in this area are turned on except for an occasional baseball game or some special progrim. This action is explained by the re-runs and long commerces which fill your living room when you do turn your set on. Some programs have been rerun as: many as three times in the laid, few weeks and they weren't too good to start with. ■io o - Decatur police officers have had a hard job on their hands this summer.

Officials as- , sure you however that an extreme effort to better control speeding and loud roars of mufflers through the residential areas will be effective immedi- 1 ately. It’s a tough job always to ’ j control this minority group of mean motorists who make race ‘ tracks out of quiet streets. It is our opinion that a few arrests I will soon place these “hot rodders” in their place. No one likes to pay a fine and face the probability of having his license and insurance revoked. —-o——o—— The state of Michigan spends millions of dollars each year to lure vacationers to that state of cool temperatures and water. State departments do much to mak your vacation a happy one, i but that state is filled with chiselers and cheats ready to overcharge you, double tax you and otherwise leave a bad taste in your mind. Michigan has good highways, good air and many wonderful fishing and swimming spots. Until you reach the tip of lower Michigan, you are in for some outlandish charges for food, < lodging and other necessities of a motor trip. It is a. shame that these “legal thieves” cannot be curbed in their nefaris practices which are giving one of the nation’s greatest states a black eye. It is a certainty that in a few years of this chiseling, vacationers will scratch the land of lakes off their schedule, and we can’t blame them. o——o— Congratulations to Ferd Klenk, Decatur’s number one sports promoter and fate semi-pro baseball team for its victory Sunday which clinched the strong Federation League tide. The Klenkmen 1 I will go into the play-offs as a decided favorite and there is no doubt they will make a strong bid to represent the league in the national tourney. Mr. Klenk has done much over the years to keep baseball and basketball alive in this area at the semi-pro level. His teams always are contenders for top rankings and the sponsor never misses a game involving his -teams. Klenk baseball and basketball teams have become an institution in northern Indiana, and the publicity they receive for their splendid ability is a great boost to Decatur and these two popular sports. We salute Mr. Klenk and his organisations.

At the home of a friend recently, a large bowl of mixed salad greens was passed with the meat course. Since I don’t like my salad mixed with my food, and there were no salad plates, I asked my hostess for a small plate. Was this all right? A. No. This shows criticism of the service. Instead of asking for the extra plate, you should have declined the salad. Q. Is it proper for the bridal party to stop and linger in the vestibule of the church, following the ceremony, to receive the best wishes and congratulations of the guests? ■ ~ ~ ■ A. No; the reception is the place for this. Q. Is it proper to address the envelope of a letter to a person without using the titles, “Mr., Mrs., or Miss?” A. Never. Says Chiropractors Can Buy Licenses Budget Committee Head Cites Rumors ' INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The chairman of the Indiana State Budget Committee told members Tuesday of a rumor that chiropractors could “buy” their licenses by giving the right person Rep. Baker (R-Kendallville) raised the issue in questioning Mrs. Ruth Kirk, secretary of the State Medical Board which gives license examinations. , ,) Mrs. Kirk later branded the charges “so much malarky.” Baker mentioned a man who was ’not the least reluctant to name names.” He said the man told him license applicants could pass their examinations by offering someone $2,000, and that questions sometimes “get in the hands” of applicants before they take the test. “I intend to tell the attorney general.” Baker said. — He identified the source of information to newsmen as an applicant who was rejected by the board because he technically was a resident of Alabama. Mrs. Kirk said she would “take my oath and give my last dollar" to prove the charges false. Mrs. Kirk also denied suggestions by Baker that there might be “ambiguous" action in passing on applicants, or that a “leak” on test questions was possible. The Budget Committee earlier denied a request by the Medical Board for money to hire a private attorney to appeal a court case when Atty. Gen. Edwin Steers refused to dp so. The case involved the board’s rejection of a chiropractic license. The committee also disclosed its rejection last month of a proposal by the State Teachers Retirement Board. The board wanted to rent office space in the Indiana State Teachers Association building under construction. Robert Wyatt is executive secretary of the association and chairman of the retirement board. The proposal' was for $35,000 annual rent for the 7th floor of the building. "I’d say it was ill - advised," Baker said. If you nave sometning to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democraf Want Ad, it brings results.

Anthrax Outbreak In Oklahoma Wanes Near Completion Os Vaccination Drive VINITA. Okla. (UP) — Northeastern Oklahoma's anthrax scare appeared to be waning today, with state officials nearing completion of the drive to vaccinate cattle in the infested area. Harold Hutton, president of the Board of Agriculture, said new cases were found at only 12 farms and ranches Tuesday. “We feel better about this thing than we have felt tor several days,” Hutton said. Hutton said veterinarians had vaccinated 110,000 animals. He said the dread livestock disease previously had been spreading to 25 or 30 additional premises dally. Since the epidemic began last month, the disease has killed a total of more than 400 animals on 98 nremises in Craig County, 27 in Ottawa and one in Mayes County Hutton said. AU of Craig County, six square miles of Mayes County and 118 square miles in Ottawa County were under quarantine, which prevents shipment of cattle and produce. n addition, Kansas and Missouri have placed embargoes on movement of cattle from the three northeastern Oklahoma counties into those states.
