NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER CONGRATULATIONS We were happy to see a friend this week who hadn’t been uptown for quite a while. Dick Burrell stopped in the Democrat office to tell us that he and his wonderful wife had celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary last Tusday Mr. and Mrs. Burrell don’t get out too oftenthes days, but when they do, it’s always nice to see them. Dick was one of the members of the “murderers’ row” that would line up in Cal Peterson’s store and expostulate on about anything you cared to hear about. Sixty-seven years of marriage is a long time, and the Burrell’s have a lot of wonderful memories of the years. Decatur also has a lot of fine memories of the Burrells. ONE OF THE BEST All laws are good—some are just better than others. People might wonder why Decatur so many beautiful big maple trees. It stems from an old city ordinance. Way back in the olden days (for that matter, it might still be on the books), the city founders had a brain storm. They passed an ordinance that maple trees were the only type of shade tree that could be planted in Decatur. Whether this was constitutional or not might be up for grabs among those who know the whys and wherefores of, law. There can’t be much doubt as j to the benefit the city has derived from it, though. Many's the time we’ve heard visitors comment on I the beautiful trees in Decatur, j We’ve also heard a lot of people who have moved away or visited elsewhere comment on the lack of such shade trees in other parts of! the country. It’s just another thing' that goes to make up our fine com-' munity, that we sometimes take for granted.

... POINT WITH PRIDE State Senator Von Eichhorn visited Decatur this week, and- it’s always a pleasure to see the Wells county solon. He made a fine address at the Elks Flag Day program, then stayed in town for a while to visit with a few of his many friends here. In the process of his conversation, he related a story on himself that shows why the gentleman is the dean of the State Senate. He was telling about the time he amended a law that had already been repealed. This isn’t to hard to do, by the way what with the huge list of laws that have gone on the books from the legislature. If the constituents that Mr. Eichhorn was helping with the amendment ever found out that the law had been repealed is another question, but the tact ttiat the good Senaor .can tell a joke on himself as well as the next fellow, speaks highly of our Senator. - HOOKED FOR GOOD Whether Chuck Stonestreet has ever read Izzak Walton’s "Compleat Angler” or not, he is. now a confirmed fisherman. The clincher came Thursday. Chuck had been doing quite a bit of fishing at Saddle Lake, but had been catching mostly little ones. Thursday, the story was different. He latched oik to an 18 inch, 2% pound bass, and had the time of his life. When the fish first broke water. Chuck said his immediate reaction was one of fright—never expecting a fish that size out of the lake. Then he quickly changed to determination. He

Chuck made his conquest, and brought it uptown for those who might doubt his story. There was nothing fishy | about it. Anyone interested in the type of bait will have to contact Chuck. . t - - - - 30- • - ONE FOR GUS For the benefit of those people who don’t go in for higher education, we’d like to quote some things from last Sunday’s funny papers. These snappy little bits of nonsense sprouted from the fertile mind of Gus Arriola, the clever creator of Gordo, one of the few “funnies” that remain funny. Gordo was trying to guess a song title for his nephew, and a few that Mr. Arriola threw in struck us as quite clever. “Never Fall For a Tennis Player, Cause Love Means Nothing to Him” was one on the Arriola' hit parade. This was followed by “He Was Daniel To His Mother, But A Boon to All the Girls,” and ‘Someone Put Dimes In the Hole in My Head, And You Should See The Change m Me Now.” Horray for the fine arts! NOW, BACK WHERE I COME FROM Julia Anderson, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Anderson, might hold down the Chamber of. Commerce office some day—at least she’s off to a good start as a Decatur booster. The young lady was in Fort Wayne one evening last week while brother Dave was in Parkview > hospital. As she wasn’t allowed upstairs, Julia and her grandmother were walking around the hospital grounds. It was just getting dark, and Grandma commented on the beauty of the moon just coming up. Julia admitted that it was pretty, but added, “it isn’t near as pretty as the ■ moon we have at home.” The i young lady should feel better now, i as she has her brother back home, , where the moon is lots nicer.
