Regardless of what happens in Europe this week, the need for the money will continue just as important. Held what you have and add to them. It’s best for every one. o—o The annual clean-up of Decatur wiH occur the last week of this month or the first of next, depending on the weather. Get ready so the sity trucks can cart the rubbage away. O—o It's garden time aud from the activities in this locality when the weather permits shows that more people than ever before will guard against a vegetable shortage the coming summer by planting their own. O—O The average person wouldn’t attempt to say whether the miners or operators are right in their contentions but every one hopes the matter can be adjusted so the fuel situation doesn’t get any worse than at present. O—o Hoosiers have received a lot of money the past three years as isfcevideuced by the bank and insdfance company statements. Now cdhies the report from the Indiana state income tax division showing thdt we paid twice as much to that department last year as in the prewar days. O—O Henry J. Kaiser, famous ehip builder, is national chairman of the Clothing Collection for War Relief with a splendid organization la every slate. In this county plans are going forward to make this a major effort and indications are i: will be very successful. Please help by contributing what you can. O—O Street Commissioner Phil Sauers has a plan that should aid barbage collection and avoid a lot of difficulties. He suggests burying an eighteen inch tile with a wood top. Place a bucket in that to hold the garbage and make it possible for the collector to handle with ease. It sounds reasonable aud no doubt many will follow the suggestions. O_O Earning power in Indiana has 'Jumped to a point far above average. In 1938 the average individual income was $464, or sl7 below » national average. It shot up <•» $1,092 in 1943. Thin is s6l above the national average. This increased wealth is a reason why Hoosiers are eating more than they did in peacetime. The cost of living has gone up 27 percent since 1941.

Those who have stored enough coal during the summer for tU‘ entire year will only be allowed thirty percent of their requirements to be put in the bins between April Ist and September Ist, I under orders from Harold Ickes, government director. However, this t may be changed as the war situ- ■ ation brightens, depending upon the demand for the army and navy. O—O i i The number of votes each nation will have in a world pact is creat1 mg considerable discussion and a . free expression from many leaders. It will be settled at the San Francisco conference and Secretary of State Stettiuius does not believe it will endanger the parley. It, does seem that the nations which have contributed so heavily to winning the war and must be depended on to win a proper, long time peace, should have more to say than those who sat by and got in just in time for final settlements. O—O The Indiana Farm Bureau has launched an educational program to curb the increasing number of farm accidents. Courses in accident prevention will be offered and suitable rewards arranged to stimulate co-operation, especially among youthful agricultural workers. Brize money and trips with all expenses paid will arouse competitive interest. Promotion of safety training under co-operation of the Red Cross will reduce the loss of several thousand days of productive effort on the vital farm front. O—O— The new liquor act enacted by the recent legislature became effective yesterday and as it is carefully perused and studied by those affected, it becomes quite evident that if held valid and enforced, will be as “blue" a law as any state, in the nation has. It provides tint youths cannot visit any place, even to secure food, where beer or liquors are sold. This means that those between eighteen and twentyone years old who work in war plants cannot eat tjieir lunches m such places and since there are many thousands who do, the problem becomes a real one. A rather strange exception is that the law permits those in army or navy uniforms to visit such places but does not make clear whether or not they can buy liquors. Responsibility for putting the law into effect rests with the new liquor commission who will issue regulations. In the meantime the law will be tested in the courts. ■ . —o —- •O —— Holding Our Heads: War-seasoned Americans are able to take the good news from the Western Front without upsetting the applecart. Gone are the emotional chills and fevers of yester-. year. Public opinion is showing a maturity of which every citizen can be proud. There is no denying that the" news is good. The Americans are sweeping on toward Berlin wit it little military resistance and the German troops are surrendering in droves. Under such conditions the whole Nazi structure could collapse swiftly. It begins to look as if Gen. Eisenhower had achieved his purpose of destroying the German armies west of the Rhine. Certainly his troops have met relatively little opposition since they crossed the historic river. Taking into consideration the problem of supply, the gains of our armies have been remarkable. Americams are being eminently sane to preserve lheir complete equilibrium during such exciting days. Let no one forget that after Germany there is Japan, a hard nut to crack. V-E Day will not end the fighting for the boys in the Pacific and we do not know how many of the soldiers now in Europe will be transferred there. America will never run out on any of these gallant men. — Fort Wajn.e JournalGazette. K

CHAPTER THIRTEEN Daphne found herself laughing. “Oh, Buff, you melodramatic child! 1 *d Are you trying to tell me that Steve >!• might be a spy?” s “He could be anything but what 5t he appears to be, if you know what u I mean.” in “I understand what you mean,” — Daphne said gravely, “And I think I know what he is. You know, darling, lots of men have come to the conclusion that working for money and glory is no longer important. Leading a simple life can be very satisfactory to many men. I think Steve’s one of them.” “You like him, Daphne?” “Yes,” she said slowly. “I don’t think he likes you.” “I know he doesn’t. 1 don’t know why, but it doesn’t matter. Our relationship is not —and naturally never would be—a personal thing.” “Oh, I know that,” Buff went on hastily, “but just the same I’d like to know what little bug he’s put in Perry’s ear.” “Maybe I could have a little talk with Perry, or even with Steve—not that I expect to get very far,” Daphne volunteered. Then Buff beamed. “I have hopes for you, Daph. I can’t imagine any man refusing your slightest request. Speaking of conquests, what’s new from Alan?” “Nothing much. He’s well settled in Washington and likes his job.” Buff wouldn’t understand about the echo of his laughter that Daphne was beginning to miss I more than she would admit. And he’d written: “When you’re alone in your precious house and you hear strange noises in the night, that will be loneliness knocking at your door. Someday it will come in and live with you. Meanwhile I am always, Yours, Alan.” Last night, after the letter came, Daphne had called his name in her dream, and felt his strong, young arms around her, but she couldn’t see his face. She couldn’t be sure that it was Alan who answered her call. r Daphne had a leisurely bath, relaxing in scented water. Then she experimented with a new lipstick and, while the effect pleased her eye, the procedure had done nothing to lift her low spirits. Finally, wrapping a woolly robe around her, she went through her bedroom to the closet where her clothes hung. Perhaps if she dressed in one of her favorite hostess gowns that would help. She eyed the row of them with rueful pleasure. It would be a long time before she could shop lavishly again. Choosing one of ivory velvet that clung to her lissomely, she slipped it over her head and, zipping it up

the side, went to her dressing-table. ■ The room was pleasantly reflected in her mirror. It was designed to make her feel happy: Silver-striped chartreuse walls, apple - blossom chintz voluminously draped at the windows, the huge Venetian mirror over the hearth where a small fire sparkled, soft-shaded lamps with pink cherubs for bases, pastel prints on the walls, the thick rose rug on the floor, the French furniture —it all blended beautifully. It was a luxurious room. But luxury was something Daphne could no longer' afford.! Well, she had these things, and they were paid for, but she wished she could get over the feeling that she had no right to them. Daphne put dowm the hairbrush and went to fix some supper for herself, and set a place at the kitch- ‘ en table. She used to set her place in the dining-room, spreading one of her fine cloths, putting out her i corn-flow’er Wedgwood, her Sheffield caddy and thin silver. But, lately, she’d found it cheerless, eating her lonely meal there. Gentlemen in the tropics dressed for dinner. The same principle ought to do something for her morale. She decided against kitchen and egg, put a chop on to broil, made herself a salad, and prepared the dining-room place. She’d have coffee in the living-room by her fire, and have a heart-to-heart talk with herself. Maybe she was just tired, not really depressed. She’d done a lot that afternoon, fixing up the west bedroom, putting up fresh curtains, clearing out the closet. There were other things Daphne had to do, too: ’ make a detailed inventory of her ! household equipment, etc. Actually, • the effort hadn’t tired her much. ’ The whole trouble was that she , didn’t have enough to do to fill lonely hours, not even with Red Cross. , Tonight she w’ould have been ■ glad to have someone to talk to. • She could, of course, go to the telet phone and ask some people up for i bridge, or shq might go to see a ■ movie, but it w r as a stormy night, and a long drive to the village. The thought of her car sprang ■ into her mind in a cloud of dismay, s She hadn’t counted its expense in : her calculations. r “Fifty-seven dollars a week - seemed such a lot,” she said, half- , aloud, “but how I’m going to man- , age on twenty-three, I don’t know.’J > She went over the figures again, . hoping to find she’d made amiss take. She hadn’t: There must be t tljirty-five a month for Mrs. Gates, f ten every week that w’ent with a l \ basket of food to Ross Row, and 51 Steve’s weekly fifteen. j Something had to be done, and t. obviously that softiething was to let i | Steve go.
