ALLAN WEATHERHOLT, Editor and Publisher. PHONE 4 THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1936 ROUTE 13 FOR SYRACUSE The Chamber of Commerce, in its action to send a delegation of citizens, property owners and residents to Indianapolis, and urge state authorities to have State Route 13 pass through Syracuse, made a wise gesture. , For several weeks, there has been much talk about the plans for Route 13, but nothing had been done, to show that Syracuse is vitally interested. If Route 13 is taken around the town, in any direction except through its business area, the town will suffer from business lost from tourists. Syracuse is a vacation town. Syracuse depends upon vacationers for the bulk of its trade, business and prosperity. To take away its one remaining state highway, might prove disasterous. Some persons are criticising the action of the Chamber of Commerce. Some say an appointment should be made before going to Indianapolis. Others believe the visit will be useless. But we believe there has been enough procrastination, and not enough action. Something must be done and done quickly. No better idea than the excursion enmasse to Indianapolis has been offered. The* time is here to do something, and direct action must be taken if the town wants to keep Route 13. Every business man on Lake Wawasee and in Syracuse should be willing to put everything else aside, and join the delegation to the state capital. Some say they cannot lose a day from their business. We believe it wiser to lose a day from business than to lose the business. Let’s get together and show the state authorities that Syracuse wants this road and is making a genuine effort to get it.

—- —:v: PRESIDENTIAL DELEGATES The two most historic meetings of tho coining four years will soon be held, these being the national con* ventionz of the Republican and Demlcratic parties. The election of delegates to these meetings, next to the presidential election of November 3, is the most important political act the American citisen will have to perform before 1940. Residential elections & draw out many voters who will never take the trouble to come to the polls for other contests. The individual who might bo called the “four year vot-i er* shows up when a president is ' elected. Ho wakes up to the fact that the nature of the government which controls his actions is about to bo determined for four years. The primary election which chooses the delegates to make the presidential nominations, often determines the result of ths election. Yet the “four year voter" will not probably turn up for those primary meetings. Forty million votes will be cast at the November election. It seems unlikoly that anywhere near half that number will help elect the delegates that constitute the nominating conventions. Ono reason for the relatively small turn-out to choose the detegatee to these nominating conVMtiOM. ia that in many states and districts only one list of candidates to presented. If all our people took the interest in the government of their country that they should, the primary electioas that choose the delegates who nominate the presidential candidates, would bo thronged with voters. They would be no cut and dried af-| fairs, but there would be clear cut contests between candidates and ideas and policies. We have the most wonderful political system in the world, if the American people would only take hold and run it right. — ....... 0.

They cannot bo charged for the sins of exploitation sometimes hurled at buxlneM. nor can they be accused of the disregard for property rights sometimes ascribed to “radicals.* The Indiana Farm Bureau, organised in the counties of this state, advocatea the following tax program, * which legislators and all others interteted in government should study carefully: I.

i; SMALL TOWN ACCIDENTS Two but of three automobile fatalities last year happened in small towns and rural communities, according to the National Safety Council. Many had supposed that most of these tragedies occur in cities of some size, where it is often hard to get across a street safely. What are the perils of these smaller communities? One hazard is that there is apt to be too few policemen, also lack of traffic signals. The average small town is not probably able to send around officers to the schoolhouses at opening and closing time. The pupils have to take their own chances of across the street. Many motorists run at full speed past a school where a lot of buoyant and heedless youngsters I are rushing out. If some boy sees h's baseball going out in the street, he just has to get it, cars or no cars. Then when the limp form of a mortally injured boy is picked up, who is to blame? * The habit of dodging around corners at high speed probably prevails more in the smaller places than the large ones. In the larger city even the reckless driver is a little afraid of the cops. In the small city with an inadequate number of officers, that kind of driver may be more likely to slip around a corner without slowing down, failing to notice someone about to cross. Even out in the country some child or grown person may slip out from behind some tree or bush, and step in the way of a 60-mile-an-hour car. Fast driving at night also must pro duce a good many accidents. When a motorist’s eyes are dazzled by headlights, the chance that he will see the pedestrain in the roadway is not so good. The traffic peril is always with us, whether we live in a big city or a little rural village. FORD TALKS “HOSS" SENSE. Henry Ford wouldn't call himself an economist. But be is on sound ground when he declares: “We are getting gravely over the theory of high prices and scarcity, the fallacy that making fewer things and selling them for more money creates prosperity. Only when things are produced in quantity a* the lowest cost and of the best quality and sold at the narrowest margin of profit, can there be hope for real prosperity. Things come first apd then money and the immediate future will be determined more by productive management than by iether finance or government." — Chicago Drovers Journal. hamrering'Tbwness Nothing hampers business like uncertainty.

BOY SCOUTS INCREASE f MEMBERSHIP IN 1935 Three Per-cent Gain Shown for Kosciusko, Elkhart and Lagrange Counties. Twenty-seven per-cent of all boys in Elkhart, Kosciusko and Lagrange Counties, who reached their twelfth birthdays in 1935 became Boy Scouts, according to the annual report of the Area Executive of the Pioneer Trails Council. This is a three per-cent gain over 1934. In cities and towns the number averages around fifty per-cent, the report states, while in the open country the number is only ten percent. This difference is described as being due to the fact that efforts until now have been directed largely to the population centers. It is proposed that increasing attention will be given rural boys in the future. Our objective for 1936 is to increase the total recruited to thirty-six percent of all new twelve year old boys. There was a gain of seven scout troops and one cub pack in 1935. The objective for 1936 is for eleven scout troops and eight cub packs. Total registered membership on January 1, 1936, was 1065, an increase of 119 ocer January 1, 1935. An increase of at least 250 is planned for 1936. With the beginning of their second quarter century the Boy Scouts of America has adopted the slogan “Scouting Marches On". The Ten Year Program is a motivating force. Its objective is that by 1942 the Boy Scouts of America shall be reaching at least one half of all boys in America, and at least one fourth of all new male citizens shall have had four years of training. This is to be Scouting’s response to Americans demand for more public spirited citizens possessed with sturdy characters. s 2 s° 5 ° ROUND TRIP TO (Chicago Every Week-end Travel tn comfortable B & O coaches .4 r* about other Bargain Fares Every IVeelt-end to B ts O points.
