Last Day Registration closes today for the city election November 3. If you are not registered, you will not be able to vote for city officials or on the light plant issue. Every year a number of people put off registering or tranafering until the last minute, and then something comes up to keep them from voting. One important group often missed-—the college students away from home, and the servicemen at U. S. camps and overseas. If your sons or daughters away from home are registered, be sure that they have applied for absentee ballots. County clerk Dick Lewton will be glad to help you. Surely a few minutes of time three years out of every four is a small enough price to pay for a Democratic form of government. Taka part in your governn»nU .„ And the next time someone tells you about “the small clique that runs the city,*’ ask him when her last attended a city council meeting, or took part actively in a campaign. Most of the coffee-counter councilmen won’t even know what night the city Council meets, or what they do discuss. • • • • Lights Removed Drivers who take highway 27 south to Portland very often will be pleased to know that the two stoplights in Geneva and the one stoplight in Bryant have finally been removed by the state highway commission. Light side-street traffic made all three lights merely stumbling blocks for through traffic. Only occasionally have any vehicles been sighted on the side streets. Two years ago the city of Portland installed a stop light at Lafayette and highway 27, about two blocks inside the city limit. The state wouldn’t put, one there, maintaining that traffic was too light. The city put one up, and apparently it doesn’t meet state specifications, because a state highway official told the mayor of that city to take it down or the state would. However, Mayor Lyons informed the man that he’d _> better not touch that stop light in the city of Portland, and so far it hasn’t been touched. The state originally | had instructed the city not to place a light at the inter- * section. Portland maintains that the light is necessary for school children, although it is operated far after school hours, and for Portland forge employes. ’4

PROCLAMATION WHEREAS experience has shown* that effective community fire-prevention programs can save thousands of lives each year and millions of dollars in property values: and WHEREAS increased fire losses during the past year emphasize the need for increased care, responsibility, and community action on the part of all of the people: NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBERT D. COLE, Mayor of the City of Decatur, Indiana, do hereby designate the week beginning October 4, 1959, as Fire Prevention Week. I call upon our people to promote programs for the prevention of fires; and I urge the Chamber of Commerce, business, labor and farm organizations, as well as schools, civic groups, and public-information agencies, to share actively in observing Fire Prevention Week. I also direct the appropriate agencies to assist in this effort to reduce the loss of life and property resulting from fires. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused- the Seal of the City of Decatur, Indiana, to be affixed. ROBERT D. COLE

Asserts Ike’s Cold Is Nothing Serious By MERRIMAN SMITH DPI White House Reporter PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPD Backstairs at the White House: Just how serious is the President’s cold? Not very, judging from the attitude of his doctor, Maj. Gen. Howard McC. Snyder. The other morning, when the President went out to play golf at the El wdorado Country Club, reporters clustered around Snyder. "How’s your patient doing today, doctor?” the newsmen asked. Snyder, looking sporty in a white linen sports jacket, smiled. “Fine as far as I’m concerned,” he said, “but you fellows will have to judge for yourselves. He’s been getting around so fast that I haven’t seen much of him.” The home of George E. Allen, where the President is staying, is on the 1,000-acre grounds of the Quinta Hotel, about 20 miles frdtn Palm Springs. La Quinta is in the process of putting \in a brand new golf course, But the President will not have an o^tp° rt unity to try it this trip. The gripss along the fairways and greets is just starting to come up, and the course will not be ready for> another month. Friends of Allen .say the President likes the climate and seclusion at La Quinta so much that he’s thinking about com'ipg back out here in the late winter,- probably in February. Seldom has the White House staff been spread around quite so much as it is here. The President lives at La Quinta with Allen. Dr. Snyder, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty and Mrs. Ann C. Whitman, Eisenhower’s personal secretary, live four miles away at the El Dorado. Hagerty has his offices in the Ocotillo Hotel on the edge of Pulm Springs, about 18 miles from El Dorato. The White House press also is quartered in the Ocotillo, but there is a second press', room complete with typewriters and telephones at La Quinta. ' This situation makes for quite a bit of auto traffic between the various headquarters. \ ■ The vacation White House, as it always does away from Washington, has a special, secret tele- .. - .-4...-

phone number. When the number is dialed, an Army Sigfial Corps sergeant on the switchboard answers cheerily, "This is the El Dorado White House.” Some of the White House travel party, every bit as tired as Eisenhower and possibly more so, are going around with sniffles imported from the East. But they tell it this way, “We came out here for the President’s cold—and got it right away.” Three Are Fined In Mayor's Court Today Three gases heard in mayor’s cour this morning ended with the defendants being fined and having jail sentences suspended in two of the cases.

When visitors arrive unexpectedly while a family is having its meal, what should the hostess do? A. If merely acquaintances, you can ask them to wait for a few minutes in the living room until you have finished your meal. If they are very good friends, it is nice to invite them to sit at the table with you and have* a cup of coffee while you finish your meal. Q. When a girl is walking along the street with a man and he speaks to someone she doesn’t know, should she speak also? A. She should smile and nod her head. This holds true also for the man, should she speak to an acquaintance. Q. Where does the ring bearer stand during the wedding ceremony? A. He stands behind and to the right of the bride.

Another method is to clean out the cracks between the offending boards and insert liquid glue, using a putty knife to make sure the glue gets on the side surfaces of each board. Then detour all traffic from the area until the glue has had a couple of days to dry thoroughly. Steamless Bathroom You can avoid steaming up your
