Charter Members of Tbe Indiana League of Homo Dailies It will soon be time to swat the flics. Won't that In- fun? —o The city in betting Well cleaned and it's up to uh to keep it that way, even If we are short-handed. O—O It's more important that we buy bond* now than ever before. Let's not permit the May quota to fall . short. —o Notify the Central Sugar Company that you want to raise beets. They will appreciate It more than y< u gness. Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito will have to revise their plans for the division of the world. They won’t have any thing to slice in North Africa. O—O The time has come to talk abort soap and stoves and ice cream instead of “shoes and ships and ceiling wax." The OPA has fixed ceilings on these items, effective May 24th. Don't fail to clean the house and garage. It's time to get rid of tbe rubbish gathered through the winter. To do otherwise is to provide the setting for Ares that may cause trern* udous damage. -O O it's gard< niug weather again and every body is doing II The cool and rainy weather has checked progress some but that won't stop tbe average American from producing bls own vegetables. O— O— The mock bombing schedule for Memorial liay has been moved up to next Sunday. May 23, because of conflicting dates of the fleet. Be sure to be on the lookout and obey order* of tbe warden of your district. -0 — If you are interested in sugar for canning purposes you will save much Inconvenience by reading the plans as announced by the ration board in last Friday’s paper.

The Yanks are in Attu and It won't be long until they have Klska and the other sites In the Aleutians. It will make It more difficult for the Japs to pull any "save their face” raids on this country and it moves us up quite a notch towards the land of tbe “Rising Sun." O—O Mr. Churchill says he and President Roosevelt have talked over many campaigns against the Axis in every part of the world. Evidently their plans now are for ths follow up of the impending invasions of the continent and a drive against Japan. Tbey hope to drive militarism out of the world. O—O May 29th will be observed as Poppy Day all over America and the American Legion Auxiliary will be in charge of the occasion here. As usual the popples will be sold for any silver offering you care to make. The money is used to “brighten the corners" for the veterans In hospitals and means more this year than ever before. O—O Even in spite of tbe priorities needed there will be quite a little building In Decatur. The Kunkel sulHlivision of thirty houses will soon be a thriving little settlement, the Pogue houses in the south part of town are nearing completion and several factory additions and improvement* are under consideration Wo will continue to grow. O—O The senate has passed the Rumi bill to forgive either the 1942 or 1943 taxes, which ever is lowest. It now goes hack to the house where It was recently defeated by only four votes. A slight change that takes care of “windfall" In- <■< mes. It Is believed by many will change enough votes to take It through the lower house. Whether or not the president would sign such a measure Is considered doubtful. —iO—O— Neither traveling nor shipping h what It used to be. Seats are hard to get. in Pullman or coach; meals are sketchy and often unappetising; one is apt to get put out of the plane seat he engaged well In advance. Freight and express are slow. Even air mail is not completely dependable. Occasionally somebody grouches audibly about these hardships, but most of us take them In our stride because we realise that the nation's transportation facilities, passenger and commodity. are working miracles to give us as good service as we have. -Kendallville News-Sun. O—O— Thomas Wallace, lieutenant-gov-ernor of New York, recently made a speech In which ho grew all "hot and bothered" over the day nurseries that are being provided for children of working mothers. He pictured it as a deep, dark scheme to regiment the boys and girls. He Intimated that it would moan losing control over the youngsters and thus creating In their minds ideas of crime. Well, that “"alnt the way we beared It." The family loses control over the children and they slide Into delinquencies, when they have no attention, not when they are properly cared for and healthily fed. O—O Every American Is thrilled by the wonderful victories In North Africa and the splendid showing made by oar comparatively inexperienced forces. It was one of the greatest battles tbe world has ever known and General Elsenhower. bls aides and his men. deserve all the credit we ean give. There are signs that we are over tbe half way mark and on the way to victory. but we have not achieved it and we never will If we let down now, We must continue to pro♦Me more ships, tanka, guns, materials and men and we at hom* most bock them and sapport them In every way possible Buy year share of bonds and ben some and aid these wbo carry tbe bonvy loads.

At their email apartment the ie greeted by Vince and Julia In festive holiday mood. Porget* a her worries, Ann joins Vince Julia on a tour of the night ■pots. The following day at LaGuardia Airport, Julia introduced Aim to Jim Brent, handsome pilot officer en route to Florida to train cadets. Later, Ann is offered the opportunity to work at the Miami Beach branch of “Marks-Park Avenue." Vince, whose yacht, "The Pelican," is moored off Miami, accompanied her on the South-bound train. The manager, impressed with Ann's beauty, engagss her as a model. Ann renews her acquaint* ance with Jim Brent at Mrs. Avery Willard's War Relief Tua. . j CHAPTER FOUR W? ’ The band struck up. "Let’r dance, Vince, shall we!" Ann suggested 1 kindly, for maybe she might have ■ hurt him, under that grin he wore. "And it was sweet of you to send I me those gorgeous orchids," she I added, as they set off ia a fox-trot. "Wish I were they,” he said, an ardent gleam in his eyes, and holding her much toe tightly for her Hum, * “Don't, Vines. You'll ruin them," she chided. “Please don't be a boa* constrictor !* "Whoosh! I eould never hold you tight enough, you beautiful child! It you’d let me, l*d like to blanket you in orchids—l'd like to—" Here, they collided with another couple. Annoyed with Vince for having orer-tmbibed, Ann looked vexed - ly and apolgetieaily around, to meet the vivid gray eyes of the darkly handsome Jim Brent, who was dancing with Mrs. Avery Willard... Br ths faintly cynical expression In those eyes, Ann guessed that he had overheard. The more Vines fanr'ed himself tn love with her, the shore his voice assumed the bellow of the nutting bull. . — » "Do you know Jim Brent!" she found herself asking, as Vince swept her oa, and away. * "Yep.

Ann's breath eaught. She hated gossip, and despised herself for encouraging Vines to ramble on. But the handsome Jim had roused her Interodt disconcertingly. Thera was something so strong, so virile, yet so aloof about him—ho stood out so among the playboys and the idlers of the fashionable resort—and what Vince had just told her only deepened her original impression of him. "Your guess," said Vince, "is as good as mine. But Hank Bruger is out of luek, meantime. Which, 1 imagine, Is us well for Mr. Avery Willard—including Ms missus.” He guffawed heartily. "Vines," said Ann, “you have a nasty little mind.” She added, rather to her own surprise: "1 like a man with a purpose." “Then he’s right here, my pretty child! My purpose ia—if you resist me—to sandbag you, shanghai you, smuggle you aboard my yacht, and set out for the Seven Seas. You’re my purpose, angel. Grab mo before some other girl nails me. and the world is yoursl” declaimed Vince. “Idiot! Let go! The big boss of Marka-Park Avenue ie watching us! D’you want to got me fired!" demanded Ann. “The beck with Mr. Marks or Parks!" cried Vinee. “What do we care! I'll buy every gown in hie place for you, Ann! I’ll—" But mercifully the music stopped then. Ann broke free. Came a loud rat-tat tat of the drums, for silence. Then the voice of the charity's master-of-cerv-monk*. "Ladies and gentlemen." bawled he, brandishing a glittering gown as though it were the American flag, “you are all asked to draw ehanees for this mag-nif-ieent creation donated for the War Relief by the famous firm of Marka-Park Avowwe—the na plaa ultra of couturiers!” ...» - , Cheers. ' * Essaying greater flights, he went on: “ft is beautiful as the Star Spangled Banner—" wigwagging it wildly tn renewed applause—"and a typical American beauty will offer you the ehanees at once dollar apiece— I take pleasure in precoat* ing to you Mine Ana Footer!” Here the orator, bearing a basket on high, swooped down on Ann Embarrassed. she hadn’t expected this honor, but with the poise and grace at the perfect model, she accepted it as the band broke into the National Aatbem, and those who weren't on the dance-floor rose to their feet likewise. - . - It was a heart-stirring moment, there in the ocean-front mansion—everyone being poignantly aware « what waa happening on. under, over, and across the wide Atlantic whore shining waters lapped ao pweef u-.y tonight oa this side, gn,,,
