Patrolman Milton Hordinsky of Middle. town (we can't get away from that town today, it seems) is no believer in luck, but when a New York car, owner presented him with balky motor car last Friday morning he, was ready to believe even in fairies. However, his joy was short-lived and today he probably has little or no liking for New York motorists. Sunday Patrolman Hor- dinsky was informed that his present was no longer his and that the first owner was com ing back to town to reclaim the vehicle. All of which doesn't set forth Mr New Yorker in bright light. At least he ought to temper his rashness with discretion.

Middetown is going to post the names of all chronic drunkards within. it's limits
 This procedure is for the mutual protection of the proprietors of taverns who cannot knowingly sell beer to such persons. That is part of the new liquor laws of the state and it goes hard with the tavern owner who violates it knowingly Of course. it is easy to give the excuse that you did not know the purchaser was drunk Once that might be accepted. but not second time. So Middletown won't let any such event come to pass. All persons who come before the city court on drunkenness charges will have their names placed on list. the same to be displayed conspieuously in the taverns. Then there will be no mistakes.

NEW DEAL PRAISED
AT WABASH MEETING
Minister Delivers Founders
Day Address.

Economic and social hardships to-
day as in contrast to the physical
hardships suffered by the pioneer
were discussed in the Wabash Col
lege Founders day address by the
Rev. M. v. Oggel, minister of the
w a b a sh Avenue Presbyterian
church, Charlottesville.
He said in part: THE gallant
gentlemen who founded Wabash
College faced the problems of the
frontier. The hardships they were
called upon to undergo were severe.
We do not suffer those physical
hardships now. Yet we face the
problem of another frontier.
challenging us looms the wilder
ness of unemployment, sluggish
trade, staggering debt. We must hack
our way through a tangle of star
walton wages, farm peasantry and
city Sums"
Landing the new deal, he pro-
nounced the necessity for the edu-
cation Of society. The speaker said,
THE prime need Of today is to
maintain the economic set-up which
we have achieved by bringing order
and equality of opportunity out of
our current chaos and inequality.
The economic process must be hu-
manized."
