Roads are reported good in most of northern Indiana and the only caution is to drive slowly because of an occasional strip of ice. In fact it is always Wise to drive carefully in the winter, because of treacherous roads and the fact that windshields become frosty quickly. If you hold down your speed you'll get there almost as soon and -in one piece. , .— o—_ ' Four to six inches of ice were reported on northern Indiana lakes and several good -catches of bluegills and bass were reported recently. The ram and sleet will not cause the ice to melt but it may get soggy “Tor a~ few days. - —o o You read, see and hear a lot lately of a dozen different pain- . killing remedies which according to the bally-hoo is supposed to be better than aspirin. So far there hasn't been a product made to take the place of aspirin. Best . evidence of this is that all painkilling pills which the manufacturers claim to “be better than aspirin are made up mostly of aspirin. So when you pay double or triple for these pills, remember, you're just paying much more for aspirin and some baliyhooer, dressed up in a doctor's robe doesn't make the product worth any more. —o o, Operations of the Youth and Community-Center are at a record smoothness. Richard Linn, director, has done a fine job in both actual operation pnd fintGEpc cos. The board, of course, also is to be commended for bringing good order but of chaos. Daily, hundreds of local people use the Center and its facilities, The Ccnaddition it serves the community in dozens of ways; Smail and large meetings, dances, conventions, all are served with, speed and comfort. It is the greatest place of its kind in any city our size in Indiana and ail of us should be proud of it.
