More than four and a half million new automobile! have been built in this nation during the first nine months of 1957. This is the fourth largest number ever built in a like period. Ford continues to lead in the selling field, with Chevrolet close in second place and Plymouth third. ■ '0 0 ■ " Tomato factories of this area are having a just fair canning season this year. Tomatoes have been spotty and the next few weeks will wind up the season. Farmers say this year’s crop was slightly below average and this fact might reflect in the cost of tomato soup and the like during next winter. o o> ■ This is national Newspaper week and it is a time when all newspapers take inventory of what they have tried to accomplish in the past year. The job isn't done for a newspaper when its edition is on the press. It is a 24-hour a day job for all of the personnel. ——O——o—It's always a sure sign of fall when the soybean trucks begin to roll into Central Soya and that is what’s happening these days. There is a long line of trucks forming each morning and remaining on North Second street until late night. The line-up of trucks is orderly and the length of it will increase for several weeks until the huge silos are filled. When the line gets to Marshall street, it is channelled down Marshall' to First Street and has gotten sa long that occassionally it stretches across the river. Autumn is here. o o The new tax rates for Decatar are Decatur Washington, $5.60 and Decatur Root 35.66. This is more than a fifty cent increase over a year ago and reflects the constantly increasing in cost of living. The rates from top to bottom are. too high and they will continue to rise as long as people refuse to take an interest in the biaiget proposals. Right now is theltime to start a taxpayers organisation in the entire county and have a committee which would .Show interest in every penny spdnt by the various units. Os course, it would mean work for those interested, but it would pay off tahower taxes for everyone. The n£w rates are believed to be the highest in our county's history. | I

The World Series which started today will crowd all other sports off the pages for the next week and then baseball will surrender to football and football after two months will give way to basketball. ——o——o Decatur schools are closing their first month of a new school term and opening day operated so smoothly that little attention was paid to the first week. This doesn’t just happen, but it is the resul of hours of hard work getting ready. Present indications are that the present term will be one of the most successful. —<o— o James Hoffa, leading contender for presidency of the giant Teamsters Union, and already branded a friend of gangsters, is facing the biggest fight in his life. The union, under attack by the government and lay members of the organization is in session at Miami, Fla., this week and the whole world is watching the results. It could mean a set-back of years for all Unions, or if they clean their own bouse it could means that Unions would stage a come-back and again take their former high place In the nation’s industrial life. ■ o -o Midwestern football has started a full schedule of Saturday games and the same three teams which had the preseason nod, Michigan State, Minnesota and Michigan seem to have the power. Notre Dame apparently is better than a year ago but still is not the power it was a 'few years ago. There'll be football galore now for the next two months and in all probabilities there will be some upsets. Indiana again looks like the cellar team and Purdue doesn’t look much better. o o— — Perhaps one of the most neglected practices of all motorists is failure to check tires and get new ones when the old tread starts to wear down. Many lives would be saved annually if we watched our tires as closely as we do other parts of our automobile. Tire manufacturers of today are making a good tire. Wow-out proof and as near safe as is possible. The extra good tires may cost a little more but they are excellent insurance against highway tragedies. Switching tires every two or three thousand miles also is a good practice, as it tends to wear the tread down more evenly.

Many Drivers Fail On Indiana's New Compulsory Tests INDIANAPOLIS ffl A— state official said today “between 15 and 20 per cent" of motorists taking Indiana's new compulsory driving tests are failing. Indiana Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robert McMahan estimated that percentage of failure during file first three months of written examinations under a 1957 law. He said the big stumbling block was identifying shapes of road signs. On the eye test phase of the exam, McMahan said there were “very few rejections, but quite a few referred to eye specialists for correction.’’ —— — - ——a Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LIE | > • Hydrangeas Hydrangeas can be given a blue color by applying to the soil for use in pots one part of blue aluminum sulphate to 200 part soil. If a pink color is desired, apply hydrated lime in the same proportion. Prevent Discoloring When fruits or salads for dessert are prepared in advance of serving, they can be prevented from discoloring if sprinkled generously with lemon juice. The lemon accents the flavor, too. Linoleum Alcohol will clean discolored linoleum. After it has dried thoroughly, apply a coat of lacquer.

Home Without Daily Newspaper A Rarity Million And Half Daily In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UP) Every week day in the year, more than a million and a half newspapers roll off the presses of more than 80 Indiana daily newspapers. And every Saturday night, more than, a .million copies of Sunday editions are bundled up for distribution from about a score of Hoosier newspaper plants. An average of one newspaper for every three men, women and children in Hoosierland is printed each day. The figures leave little doubt that a Hoosier home without a daily newspaper is a rarity. Even ths doesn’t tell the story of newspaper in Indiana as the annual observance of National Newspaper Week begins. There are dozens upon dozens of weeklies and other papers which publish on less than a daily basis, and these would raise the printing and circulation well above the figures for the dailies. Circulation figures compiled for trade publications at the sttart of 1957 show that Hoosier dailies

Gas Tax Collection Higher In Indiana Other Tax Receipts Also Show Increase INDIANAPOLIS W — State Revenue Commission Edwin Beaman reported today Indiana collected $27,436,788 in gasoline and other motor vehicle taxes for the three months ending Aug. 31. Beaman said the total was more than 9 million dollars above the same quarter for 1956, before the tax was raised from 4 to 6 cents a gallon. The tax increase was effective March 15. Total gas sales dropped during the April-July quarter, but tax revenue rose slightly, Beaman said. Both sales and revenue increased the past three months, he said. Beaman also reported $20,767,475 collected in gross income taxes during the July-September It was an increase of $247,110 over the same 1956 period, but Beaman said it was too early to show the effect of the 50 percent tax increase or the new withholding provision.

He said quarterly store license receipts almost doubled — from $12,000 in 1956 to $22,000 this year. Beaman praised his staff for catching non-payers “The boys made quite a drive,” he said. Loss of life i» the hurricane that struck Galveston, Tex.. Sept. 9-9. 1900. has never been determined. It is estimated at between 5,000 and 8,000. i
