The Grecian sage, Socrates had this to say about success; “When I was a boy, wealth was regarded as a thing to secure—that most affected to own more property than he actually possessed—Now a man has to defend himself against being rich —for it has become far more dangerous to be suspected of be* mg well off than to be detected In crime.” The Daily Democrat joins the nation in expressing deep regret at the illness of the nation’s First Lady and wishes her a speedy and complete recovery from her operation. ■»■■■.„+ - If you are interested in the upcoming Decatur to New York Erie Railroad excursion, you are advised to make your 'reservation in the next few days. Very few of the 45 tickets set aside for Decatur remain and when these tickets are sold, there will be no more available. Don't be disappointed- Make your reservation ’ at once. ■■■ o o— If you operate an oil burning furnace or a coal furnace, right today is the time to load up with fuel and be ready for the cooler fall weather. Coal and oil dealers are ready to serve you and also prepare your furnaces and heaters with the requirements of winter operations. You are urged to have your heating equipment made ready by local concerns, which you know. There will be some transients knocking at your door soon, no doubt, but you’d better check their ability to do the work—They’ll be here today and far away tomorrow. o o We should never permit ourselves to forget the terrible crime which Nathan Leopold, Chicago, help-xl perpetrate and certainly we should bear in mind that be was extremely lucky to receive only a life and 99 year sentence for the murder, to which he pleaded guilty. Illinois' Gov. Strata ton. last week, refused a plea for a pafdon and returned his re-quest-to the parole board. This appears to have been a splendid move, because if ever he should receive any consideration, the parole board would be in a position to know it Too many times after a crime grows old, we are inclined to soften in our thoughts, but wg always should remember the a£me.

Baseball continues to hold the sports spotlight and while football will steal the center of the stage Friday night, interest will continue in the National Pasttime, especially in the Senior Circuit. In the American League, it appears that it would take a complete falling apart of the Yankees to lose tire title. This is not true in the National League where four teams are still very much in the thick of the championship struggle. Most fans here in the midwest are pulling for Milwaukee, Cincinnati or St. Louis, but Brooklyn is still the team to beat. It’s a wonderful race for the title, and certainly it’s a great diversion from business worries to see or hear -a game occasionally It’s about the only thing a television set is good for during the summer months of re-runs and long, tiresome commercials. w—o——o Officials of the Civil City and School City both have found it necessary to Increase tax rates. Each tax setting unit has proposed an eighteen cent increase, which is a lot of money. However, the increases are far below the proposals made by comparable cities of the state and our officials after many days of work and study believe they have eliminated all the unnecessary requests from the proposals. We are not attempting to defend these ever mounting tax burdens, but we contend as we always have that as long as people continue to have an indifferent attitude, costs will rise. If we want lower taxes, we will have to show more interest it all of our government units and even then it won’t be easy. However, the more interest shown the year around, the less apt officials are to ask for increases they know will be difficult to get. It is our honest opinion that as we are presently set up these eighteen cent rises in tft civil and school proposals are necessary. We do not say that all proposed expenditures are entirely justified. From all we can learn at this early date it appears that Decatur is heading for a total tax rate of about $5.45, compared with the present $5.06 rate. Habits of people of an area actually set the tax rates, and unless more interest is demonstrated in budget proposals, taxes will continue to jump and jump.

20 Years Ago Today Aug. 8. 1937 was Sunday. 0 - —8 | Modern Etiquette I BY ROBCRTA LEE I ft • Q. When a woman, traveling alone, meets a man acquaintance on a train and he invites her to the dining car, what does she do about the bill? A. She may assume that he wishes to be host, and that he will be offended if she refuses to allow him to pay. However, women who travel alone must be careful about accepting favors from men. It is better to ask the waiter to bring separate bills. If a woman does accept an invitation from a man, it should be for one meal only. Q. If one wishes to give a very good woman friend an engagement present, should this be something for her personally or for her future home? A. Either is correct Q. Where should our dining room chairs be placed when not in use—at the table or elsewhere about the room? A. This depends upon space and convenience. One chair against each side of the table is the usual practice. New York Wars On Segment Os Youth Flare-up Os Youth Crime Sickens City By DOC QUIGG United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)—This city is going through a sickening period of “war” on a segment of its youth. The segment is a lawless fringe bred in poverty, brought up in bitterness in broken and alcoholic homes, left unloved and neglected by parents. In the face of a flare-up of youth crime—three persons killed and four critically injured within a few days — the police department has thrown in 60 additional men, rookies from its academy, for patrol duty. It has called on parents to awaken to duty. Juvenile offenders have killed 22 persons in New York City since the start of the year. This is not the result of gang warfare, although New York Khas about 500 juvenile gangs with about 8.000 members. Os these, 110 are listed as “fighting gangs” which stir trouble. Individual Type Crime But the latest streak of beatings, assaults, and killings seems to be of individual, rather than gang, origin “spontaneous, senseless attacks,” in the words of Walter Arm, police deputy commissioner in charge of community relatioms. If it is true that juvenile crime reflects periods of adult tension, such as war or other unrest, or anxiety, a study of the police figures in New York City indicates a nervous period right now. ~ The published figures on yearly arrests of youths under 16 show 3,830 for the year 1940—then a jump to 5,000-plus for each of the war years 1943-44-45. with the last of those three showing nearly 6,000. In the postwar years of that decade the arrests ran along rather evenly at 3,500-plus, and in 1950 were 3,424—10wer than they were exactly 10 years earlier despite the population increase. The Korean War started in 1950, and during the next three years the arrests were up to 4,00-plus. Thtn, instead of going down, they went like this: 6,012 in 1954; 6,578 in 1955 ; 8.714 last year. Youth “Need, Somebody” Willie Mays, the baseball player, used to spend a great deal of his spare time away from the ball park playing stickball with the kids in his neighborhood. When asked why this extra expenditure of energy on the part of a man who was already expending a great deal at his regular job. he pointed to the youngsters and said simply: “They need somebody. You might be interested in contrasting this attitude of a man who □bviously loved kids with a paragraph in a New York Times news story about neighborhood youth crime: . „ “A boy who has to sleep on a rooftop because he is afraid his father will come home drunk and beat him finds it difficult to resist the lure of the gang.” TraCv in * -tout *owt — Decatia INSECTICIDES FOR EVERY USE e * ♦* OPEN ALL DAY SUNDAYS •* • * AIR CONDITIONED HOLTHOUSE On The Highway N. 13th St. Route 27

Fire Alarm Sounded Wednesday As Test Chief of the fire department, Cedric Fisher, today stated that the fire alarm sounded shortly aft- ' er 7 p.m. Wednesday ,was merely t a test alarm. The department has . a telephone number which volunt teers, members of the sheriff's or . police departments call at the I sound of the alarm, to find out k where the trucks have been called. > This number is retained only a short period of time, as the code , generally leaks out, and too many i other calls* are received, keeping the circuits tied up. Many times ’ volunteers are unable to immedi--1 ately find out where the fire is because of this. Arrangements were made to use ’ a new code number, and the test J alarm was to see how many extra , calls were received. Six unauthorj ized calls were received by the de- > partment during the test. > ! 26-Cent Decrease In i Blue Creek's Rate * Blue Creek township’s advisory > board and township trustee Frank - Myers will consider a 26-cent des crease in the tax rate of that towni ship in their regular tax meeting August 27. 1 Blue Creek will raise $3,628.75 ’ in 1958 as compared with $3,535, * with the same rate of 23 cents, 1 for the township fund.
