THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS €UNORt BARRY The Place to Cool Off The first measure is on the proposed amendment to the constitution of the United States repealing the eighteenth amendment. It is necessary to vote this measure even after you have selected your six delegates which are pledged to vote for or against it in convention. The next measure is to repeal the soldiers bonus amendment after 1938. The third measure referred by the legislature is on the county manager form of government. The fourth measure is to amend the state constitution so that the legislature can change the grand jury system providing for prosecution by information of the district at torney. Fifth conies the debt and taxation limitations for cities and school districts, requiring twothirds vote to authorize bonds. The sixth measure is the state power fund bonds ask ing for $103,779.45. The 2 per cent sales tax is the seventh measure for de cision, and is referred to by the ballot title “to replace per sonal property taxes and reduce real property taxes.” The measure submitted by the people is for repeal of the prohibition amendment of the state constitution. The last measure is the re-occuring Oleomargarine bill. this time it is a vote on the bill passed by the legislature taxing oleomargarine. _ . . . we are not editorially advising people on how to vote on any of these measures. They have nearly all been before the voters in one form or another for many years. Nearly everyone we suppose has his or her mind made up on repeal of prohibition. Most people know whether they want a sales tax or not. If they are property owners they know whether they want other people to vote bonds on their pro- perty except by two-thirds majority. Voters are probably as good guessers as we are if they will ever get any benefit out of the proposed $103,779.45 power bonds which are designated to provide salary and expenses for some inter- t people. The remaining measure we can not see are Of suffici- ent import to contribute a great deal to the welfare o f th e State. ---------------- ------------------ . WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE TIME? It seems to be definitely on the cards that our reorgani- zed industries will operate on a shorter working schedule than has Prevailed in the past. Workers are to have a higher average wage and a shorter average working week. In other words, everybody is to have more time for play. It seems to us a rather important question: What will we do with this added leisure? Beyond doubt, there will be a big boom in commercial ized entertainment, all the way from the so-called “sports” of professional baseball, boxing matches and the like, to super-super-super-talkies and theatrical entertainments of all kinds. For there will always be a large percentage of people who have never learned how to get any real benefit out of their spare time, largely because they never had any spare time and partly because they are too lazy or too stupid to take part in any sort of sports or games themselves. But we think there are signs that more and more peo ple are Interested in what may be called the old-fashioned ways of having a good time in their leisure hours. Roller skating has come back strong. So has bicycling: bicycle makers say they are doing a record business. And that is not because people haven’t got cars; It is because a new generation of young people have discovered, what their grandparents knew- that there is more real enjoyment and health in a day of cycling in the country than there is in a day’s motoring. In almost every community there are better facilities for community sports and entertainment than there were only a few years ago. With more people having leisure In which to take part in them, we ought to develop new forms of community activity in which everybody can have a good time. If you are satisfied with the rise in the price of bread the sales tax passage should please you. Bread went up on the consumer because a processing tax was placed on the miller. ----------- >----------- And we hope, too, that some of the new leisure will be spent by at least a few in the cultivation of the Intellect. Most of us could do with a good deal more of that. was rere this morning with a lot of good advice. Ethel and Clarice this afternoon, and while I was out. Paul and Dot came, and Tess Farns worth.

They're going to China and can't take Dickie. He Is quite adorable, and when did I ever care what any one thinks? Frills." Joyce was a little doubtful, when she finished, about whether she had not written more than was wise She sealed up the letter, however, and then went downstairs to look for Sam to post it. Sam listened with casual polite ness to her explanation of her ap pearance. Ed" of Clarice's sarcastic comment, looked unhappy In this gathering.
