Lighting Contest The first night of two nights of judging in the citywide Christmas outdoor home lighting contest will start at 6 p.m. today. During the period between 6 and 10 p.m., the judges will drive through that part of the city north of Adams street tonight, and south of Adams tomorrow night. t* Hundreds of beautifully decorated homes will be lighted especially for the event. A city of lights, reflecting beautifully from the snow-covered trees and homes, is something that will not soon be forgotten. Many, many carloads of sightseers have already visited Decatur just to see the lighting displays. Some show classic beauty—some are humorous. Some are delightx • ful. All are entertaining. In addition, many of the churches have displays, and so do some of the business houses and factories. General Electric has a large black-light nativity scene. The downtown streets are decorated with colored lights. Decatur is a lovely city—if you don’t think so, just drive around tonight and take a look at it. • • • • Take Heed The first sustained snow of the season fell this weekend, and with it came all sorts of dangers and problems. First of all, this is Christmas week, a time of joyous expectation, happy family groups around the tree, of Mom and Dad and all the kids, grandchildren and pets together for the holidays. f Ail thoughts are directed toward home at Christmastime. The many pleasures, renewals of friendships and acquaintance, of good times together, are much looked forward to. But could anything be worse than to have this picture marred by a serious wreck or accident? Thoughtlessness, carelessness, are some of the most serious dangers of Christmas-time driving. Many are hurrying home for short periods. Others are coming home from college. Some are on the highway for their first experience in driving in the snow. So please be careful. This is not the time of the year for accidents—it’s a time for joy and happiness, and for careful driving. The Fraternal Order of Police, under its president, .Bob Hill, have. bm cautwing: ists about the dangers. - If you are making a long trip, take your time, break up the driving with frequent stops for coffee, and remember that drinking alcoholic beverages figures in more than 50% of the holiday accidents. State highway patrols, sheriff’s officers, and even the Indiana National Guard, have been alerted across the state for any reckless, foolish, drunken, or dangerous driving. Christmas is a time to enjoy—a tune of peace and good will. Think of the terrible tragedy it would be for •your family if an accident happened at Christmastime.

When writing a personal letter, is the date correctly put at the end of the message or at the top right of the page? A. If a long letter, the date is usually put in Die upper righthand corner—and if a short note, the date is inserted at the end. Q. Isn't it proper at all to cut up all of one' meat into portions before beginning to eat it? A. This is proper only if you are a very small child and your father or mother is cutting up your meat for you. Otherwise, cut off only one poi nat a time. : <?...» ■ ,— ——o I Household Scrapbook I |- By ROBERTA O - - -' " • 11 'TO Removing Wallpaper Here are two handy mixtures for removing old wallpaper: Mix up a quart of flour paste .add it to a pail of piping hot water. Swash this over the wall and let soak in. Being thick, it won’t dry very quickly, which gives you time to scrape the paper off. The other way—which is quicker and less sticky—is to whip up a solution of four ounces of pulverized saltpeter to a gallon of water and swab this over the walls. It will soak through and loosen the paper in a hurry. But you must work fast, as once the saltpeter dries, you might have to reapply it for results.
