The "hoss” fans are delighted that the Kentucky Derby is to be run this year and while it will not be open to those who live outside the Louisville area it will enthuse all lovers of thb “eport of kings.” —o Those Brooklyn Dodgers don’t look like the "bums” the sport experts predicted at the start of the season. They are in second place and going strong and the fans in th’fl otd' town are sure pulling for them. —o The production of goods needed by civilians is to be speeded up and you will soon be able to buy most any thing you want. The thing to do is to invest in bonds today so you will have a nest egg for after a while. —o The war production board has authorized the use of aluminum foil for wrapping cigarettes .and chewing gum. They also announce that dry cell batteries will be on the market in large quantities in the next thirty to sixty days. The worst seems to be over. o—o— The bond campaign in Adams county is off to a good start and reports indicate interest in every part of the county. Buy all the bonds you can. The wisest business men in the United States are doing so because they know its the best thing for them arid the nation. O—O The farmers who are bagging foxes now are doing a good turn. These animals destroy wild game as well as the poultry on farms in the county and the more the boys dispose of the more rabbits, quail, phla-santa, chickens and ducks there will be. O—O Hurrah for General Patch, one of the generals with a record or • achievement in the European area. He predicts the war against Japan will be over in less than a year. And he is a good guesser for he predicted some time ago the war in Europe would end May 9th. O—o They claim an airtight case against Herman Goering and we certainly think they would have that. He has blustered and bragged for years and is known as the man chosen several years ago to

succeed Hitler tn cue the tetter couldn't serve. O—o Selective service will release this week a point system for discharging some of the nation’s 8,368 conscientious objectors who refused military service and have been engaged in civilian public service work. The discharge of CPS men is expected to follow the army plan, with points for length of service, dependents and possibly for age. O—O This nation should not quarrel with Russia. They have helped to win the war in Europe and they wish to protect that country for the future. They should be given every consideration for the enduring peace we have all talked about and hoped for can come only with their cooperation. We do not have to become communists to believe that. O—o The bureau of the census reports that there are now 17.000 fewer deaths from childbirths annually than in 1920. Maternal deaths from childbirth are estimated at 2.2 per 1,000 live births, compared with eight in 1920, the census bureau said. The rate was 6.7 per 1,000 in 1930 and 3.8 in 1940. O—O Opening the Seventh War loan Campaign, Henry Morgenthau, secretary of the treasury said: “What is demanded of us is this—that we accept triumph without relaxation.

The fruits of peace are not yet ripe far us to pluck.” —o Labor regulations are to be lifted July Ist and it is probable that most of the “frozen” employes will be free to seek jobs they prefer, according to Paul V. McNutt, head of the manpower commission. Most of the acute areas will also be eased and the labor shortage is ex pected to be greatly relieved the next sixty days. The Studabaker plants in Fort Wayne, South Bend and Chicago, affecting 7,600 men, will be one of the first to liquidate as to war production. However it is expected there will be sufficient demand for extra labor to take care of all who are released at this time. —o Congratulations to Jaines Hurst, well known and highly respected citizen of Decatur, who yesterday celebrated his 91st birthday. Born in the providence of Ontario, Canada, May 14, 1554, he came to Decatur from Toledo, Ohio, in 187’. During most of his busy life here he was a stone and brick contractor and assisted in building many of the homes and business houses here. He was the first chief of Decatur's fire department, served on the police force and was a member of the city council four years. A fall two years ago has prevented him from getting about, except in a wheel chair, but he is cheerful and happy and still appreciates it when friends call. He has been one of our substantial citizens and is held in highest regard by all who know him. o—o Tackling Rheumatism: Got rheumatism? Maybe the arm}’ will help you. The army and navy general hospital at Hot Springs National Park, Ark., has become a “rheumatism center" for the entire army. Soldiers who have this disease are sent here* from whever they may be, even overseas. Never before has rheuthatlsin been attacked so systematically, with examination into every possible cause and cure. The effects of penicillin and the sulfa drugs are studied here more carefully than ever and the curative properties of theifamous hot springs'are being tried' out. Rheumatism is not merely a personal trial. In the United States it causes a yearly loss of 7,500.000 work weeks, and the financial loss

Reverse Policy On German Information Announcement Made By Pres. Truman Washington. May 15. — (UP) — President Truman said today that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower intends to permit "a free flow of information and ideas ... in Germany in a manner consistent with military security.” Mr. Truman'S announcement at a press conference reversed a policy announced last week by Elmer Davis, head of the office of war information. Davis said American and Allied newspapers and magazines would not he permitted to circulate among the Germans. He said special, censored publications could be issued for them. Mr. Truman today

SYNOPSIS HELEN MILLER is an attractive J (king woman of 26, who has been ilted by a playboy, PAUL WENTWORTH, a southern plantation owner, who married ZOE NORRIS. Helen lives in an apartment with war plant trainee AGGIE JONES, a pleasant, 30-year-old self-confessed "old maid." who urges Helen to try to mend her broken heart by dating PHILIP BROWNELL, foreman and manager of the war plant owned and operated by Helen's AUNT. MINERVA, a shrewd business woman who drives a hard bargain and hopes to match Brownell and her niece during Philip's stay in New York on vacation. « • • YESTERDAY: Philip and Helen had planned to go to the zoo to take a picture of a giraffe for Dick, Philip's gon. but Aunt Minerva sent a telegram ordering him to Chicago on business and then home. Aunt Minerva also suggests that Helen come back to Lakeville. At dinner, before train time. Philip proposes to Helen and asks her to return to Lakeville with , him. CHAPTER NINE HELEN CAUGHT her breath when Philip said he wanted to marry her. “Why, Philip—l—* i “And don’t hand me that old line about it being so sudden!” said Philip. "It’s not sudden! I’ve loved your picture for over a year—and the five days spent with you have only increased the love—tripled it l|ri (JQ >» “I wasn’t going to say anything about it being sudden,” said Helen, “I was going to remind you that you’re to leave for Chicago in about two hours.” “What’s that got to do with it?" “Plenty! How can I marry you and go back to Lakeville—when you’re in Chicago?” "I can answer that very easily. I’ll go to Chicago, attend to the business for Miss Minerva, and come back here for you." “It sounds very simple,” said Helen. "But don’t forget what your impulsiveness got you into before." “I’m older now—surer.” “After what happened before, when you rushed in where even angels would fear to tread, I should think you’d hesitate a long time before rushing in again.” "I love you,” Philip said earnestly. "And that’s enough.” Helen shook her head slowly. “You certainly are a glutton for punishment.” “Where does the punishment come in?” "I don’t know exactly—all Ido know is that when it comes to a man and a woinan, there's always a gamble.” “I’m willing to take a chance.” "But I’m not so suf-e that I am." “Come on back to Lakeville with me,” Philip urged. "Give me a chance to show you how serious I &m - Let’s find happiness thire together. You belong there, Helen! It’s where all the Millers belong.” i Helen smiled and said: "But if I many you, I won’t be a Miller.. “All right, ft’s where the Brownells belong—Helen—Dick—Philip.” "Yes, Dick,” said Helen thoughtL fully. “Children dislike stepmoth-

said Davis acted in good faith when he made that anhonneement because he thought that was the policy agreed on by military authorities during his meeting with them in Eurppe. The president said Elsenhower “has advised me he has issued no policy or order dealing with the importation of publications into Germany.” He stressed, however, Eisenhower’s belief that “there can be no restoration of a free German press in Germany until the elimination o’ Nazis and militarist influence has been completed.” “We are not going Io lose I lie peace by giving license to racialist pan-Germans, Nazis and militarists, so that they can misuse democratic rights in order to attack democracy as Hitler did,” the president said. o — Bakery goods become, flakier arid Huffier after being quick-frozen, thawed and reheated, according lo National Frozen Food Locker Association.

ers. You and he are happy together and perhaps I’d only be an outsider, someone Dick would feel had come between the two of you.” She touched Philip’s hand tenderly. “You see, I’m trying awfully hard to look at the matter from every angle.” "There’s only one angle—love,” said Philip. "Do you love me or not?" “I’m not sure,” Helen said. She searched his face, and a warmness seemed to creep over her. “I like you a lot. It’s been fun having you in New York, but—” “I’d be awfully good to you,” Philip said. “I’m even conceited enough to think I could make you love me—in time." “What about Dick?” "He’d love you.” Philip smiled a bit crookedly. "I've discussed you with him.” “You have?” “Yes. Dick’s all for the idea of having you make it a threesome.” “A gambler—like his father,’’ said Helen. “You love children, don’t you?” “I adore them,” said Helen. And she remembered how she and Paul had talked of the family they would have—a boy like his father and a ■Jiri like her mother. suddenly realized that had she and Paul married nearly three years ago—as they had planned—she might now be the mother of that boy or girl. She got hold of herself and said: “I’m quite sure, Philip, that I could love your son really.” “But not his father?" he said, half serious, half joking. Helen didn’t reply. She watched the waiter arranging the food upon the table, and remembered what her Aunt Minerva had once said: “Miller women weren’t cut out to be spinsters. I am convinced of that; now. And anyway, one spinster in a family is one spinster too many.” She had agreed with her aunt then, and she agreed with her now, more than ever. She wasn't the type of woman to go through life alone; she was too much the home-maker. The life of a spinster was a lotiely life, and when her aunt was gone, and she was the last of the Millers—one more spinster to carry on the Miller interests—she would—well, she’d rather not think about it. It saddened her, the thought of living all alone in the big old Miller homestead, rattling around in it like a pea in a pod. “Are you still thinking about the other man?” Philip asked. "In away, yes,” Helen replied. "Seeing him might be difficult. Anyway, so far as Lakeville is concerned, I’m still the girl who was left waiting at the church.” “They’d forget that quickly enough,” Philip retorted, "if you returned as Mrs. Philip Brownell.” “Do you mean you’d be willing to marry a woman—under those conditions ?” “Not just any woman," Philip said. “Only you." Helen said: “Aunt Minerva was right. You are a man in a million.” “That," Philip shrugged, “is cov-
