It’s already a week too late to begin thinking about flu shots. Many people already have their first case of the Fall sniffles. Better make your appointment now, as your doctor is a busy man. o k) A friend wno lives and works in Fort Wayne recently visited Decatur, looked in a local jewelry store window for a few minutes, and then laughed. She works in a Fort Wayne store which sells the same merchandise at a much higher price, yet the average Decatur resident feels he is getting a bargain every time he shops away from home. Don’t compare sale prices with the slashed price —compare them with the everyday price you can see on the same object here in Decatur. Often you will find you can buy the same, cheaper and in better condition, with less shopping trouble, right here. Follow the ads closely in the Decatur Daily Democrat. o o Vice-president Nixon’s stormy tour of Latin America last spring points up the need for a modern Good Neighbor policy. South America is an invaluable source of strategic materials we need to remain a great power, economically and militarily- A friendly relationship with these countries is therefore a prime necessity. We cannot “go it alone.” The economic crises, social pressures and resentments which have built up in postwar years in that area are related to the popular demands for higher living standards, rapid urbanization, and changes in U.S. tariffs. Contrary to popular belief, only three countries in South or Central America have received foreign aid. and these three. Bolivia, Haiti, and Guatemala, only trifling sums. More stable U.S. trade policies, increased loans, public and private: educational aid thrbtigh scholarships and travel grants; more help in stabilizing currency; and sustained interest and sympathetic understanding are needed in America.

Basketball practice starts this we#k in many of the county schools. Thousands of guesses about the “best” team will be made. Right now it is a little early to say. Many expect Berne to be the strongest team in the county. They won the sectional last year, and gave Fort Wayne South Side a good fight in the regional. Most of the teanjs will be improved over last year, however, and there are many, many factors to enter in before a county champ or a tournament winner is named. ——lo o>— In reading the recommendations for changes in the law concerning the election of trial judges made by the Indiana state bar association, we note several details which should be given grave consideration. First, an incumbent may place his name on the ballot without standing in a primary election. This, in the first place, is not right, since the people of the county may have no desire to see the incumbent in office again. For example, in the southern part of the state, a judge was arrested and convicted of public intoxication and contempt of court. Yet a judge of this calibre could run again, unquestioned. Then anyone who wished to oppose him could run on a blank ballot at primary time. In a strong Democratic county, where the incumbent was a Democrat, another Democrat could crowd out any Republican opposition in the primary, making the general election a farce election between two members of the same party. The same would be true in a Republican. county for a Republican judge and his opponents. This is not wise. A judge is a human being, and is subject to the same process of trial and error in human life as any of us. To begin removing “special" classes from the political setup will be another step in effectively murdering the Democratic process, and returning to boss rule.
