The flu hangs on. oDon't be misled by mgU order circulars offering you all types of insurance at ridiculously low rates. You get just what you pay for and many times insurance purchased by mail turns out to be almost worthless. Many companies stay just within the law and when you read the fine print, you'll discovere that you are the owner of an almost worthless policy. It pays to know who you are dealing with in insurance just like your local merchant Both are here to stay and you should patronize them and not gamble on some foreign company which offers you something alleged to be better. Most of the big industry news is rather pessimistic the last few days with predictions of more lay-offs and production let-downs. Wouldn't this be the time for the government to do something about the approaching levelling off or depression or whatever you want to call it, instead of waiting for thousands more to be jobless? We have a serious domestic problem. It should be taken care of at once. This nation always has millions for every other nation. Let’s start looking at our < own problems and work out some solutions. One of these times the people aren't going to have the money to help every other nation. o—o— The business barometer, issued monthly by the Chamber of Commerce isn't too optimistic. There are some 150 less workers employed compared with September of 1956 with a $200,000 payroll reduction for the same period. Persons on direct poor relief have telescoped in number from 28 in number a year ago to 81 in September. Telephones, electric meters and water meters all showed gains over a year ago and building permit applications at five for September of this year are • eight less than a year ago. There is no doubt, general business has fallen off but one encouraging note is the fact that business in the Decatur area shows a much smallef drop than the national average. pf us interested in Decatur's progress should join in one great drive to stimulate business and keep Decatur at the top of the heap of small cities.

Why don't you plan to see the final high school football game of the season this Friday night. Time for the opening kickoff is 8 o'clock, daylight time, and you'll get a real thrill out of seeing Decatur and Kendallville renew their annual grid rivalry. Kendallville must win the game to gain undisputed leadership in the NEIC for this year. —o_—o Merrily goes the trial of several of the smaller fry in the Indiana highway scandal case. No doubt some of the conspirators will be found guilty, but the people will be the real jury when the next general election comes along in another year. The present scandal investigation is merely a scratehing of the surface in the deals and wrong-doings which have dominated our state for several years. It now appears that the people have had enough and every voter will think a little about honesty in government as a basis for lower taxes and decency. ■ “We are not on the way out, I. think we are on the way in." This is the closing statement of James M. Symes, President of Pennsylvania Railroad at a luncheon meeting of the Chicago Executives' club recently. Mr. Symes was speaking on “’The Future of the Railroads." Every citizen should read this interesting discourse on what a great man thinks of the future. It gives one the feeling that our railroads are not only in safe hands, but are being operated by men with great thought and vision. It is a wonderfully frank explanation of the present status of the nation's backbone, the rail industry. o——o—— While it has never been our policy to answer anonymous letters in this column, we acknowledge receipt of a letter purportedly from a group of juveniles attending Indiana University objecting to our criticism of the Indiana football team and praising other accomplishments by the school and some of its faculty members. We wish to remind these writers that we too are a graduate of Indiana University and for almost forty years we have pointed wtih pride to our great band, but we don't feel that your parents should pay high taxes to eover some of the foolish things done at the University, most especially erection of a place for the band to march in before empty seats.
