Commenting on the resolution,
Mrs. Hill said:
“In forming the policy of school attendance, the school board acted in accordance with the basic principles of American democracy as laid down in the Constitution of the United States. It is a move in accordance with the spirit of
the times.
“1 feel that many citizens of Gary have long been ready for this action and many others soon will learn to appreciate the opportunity it affords for democratic living for all children in Gary. Teachers who strive to educate their pupils in democracy will welcome the reality this policy will give them in their classrooms.

• In this land of free discussion Hoosiert like to tel! how they would run the country. That’s a good trait, too, because it brings out the facts. Consequently every adult has ideas about the regulation of the public utilities, the banks, the insurance companies, the practice of medicine, to mention a few under state supervision, and alcoholic beverages. For instance some advocate local option in the belief that if alcoholic beverages are put out of sight they actually will not exist. Thrice Indiana has embraced local option and twice statewide Prohibition only to discard the theories as impractical and to turn to legal control and temperance education. It’s traditional that Local Option and remonstrance laws are the first steps toward unworkable Prohibition statutes. History .teaches and experience proves that local option does not prohibit traffic in or consumption of alcoholic beverages and furthermore it: • - ■ • )• ■ • Switches control from lawful to unlawful hand*. Breads oKsrespect for all laws. Promotes official corruption and hypocrisy. Encourages juvenile delinquency because bootleggers ask no age questions and observe no hours. ••• •• Stimulates drunken driving between "wet" and "dry" centers. ’ <« * Increases state and local property lex burdens. Arrays neighbor against neighbor. Throws people out of legal employment. Injects more, not less, politics in the control system. Retards the trend toward moderation by facilitating the purveyance of potent beverages. If there is a bad spot in your community see that it is corrected by suspension or banished by revocation. That’5 what the Alcoholic Beverage Commission is for; that’s what beer in Indiana pays an enforcement tax for.

The Indiana Leglcnairea adopted resolutions: asking the American Legion convention to he held iiSan Francisco.

This resolution was ruibmitted by the Y'MCA Post. American Legion No. 107 represented j by Edward S. Gaillard. command, r an dEmory A James, adjutant.

Fkelton and Command ••r G villard during a conference at the state house rhat he heartily believed Negroes shsonld be given equal opportunity as other Tndianiatis to enjoy advantages of guard mem-
bership.
As evidence of his attitude, the governor said he Would dispvpch a letter at once to Gen. Watt directing that Negroes be admitted to combat units and in tne air corps. During th« recent GAR encampment Capt Skelton and Mr Gaillard. representing the two local colored posts of the Legion, paid a visit to Commander-in-Chipf Hiram Gale, accompanied by Capt.
