There may not be much to the Mundt bill now in congress which would require Decatur and Berne to construct sCwage disposal plants within two to seven years but we may he sure that thin movement will be On In eafnest after the war. This city has already been mandated by the state to make such an improvement and plans are under way to comply as soon as labor and material can be obtained. —o A survey taken by Pathfinder magazine among 50-odd big corporations gave seven reasons why they like small towns. The worker becomes an integral part of the community. He has outdoor recreation readily available. The tenipo Is less strenuous and more pleasant. Workers and employers mix more. Many workers are or become home owners. Conditions are better for raising a family. There’s little turnover in personnel. In other words -a smaller town is just a better place to live. —o United States soldiers who have been in prison in Germany and noware released will be returned to this country as rapidly as they can be given passage, General Eisenhower has announced. Those boys are entitled to a good rest and no doubt many of them will receive discharges for physical disabilities or age. Among those recently released from a German prison camp l is Pic. Carl Rash, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rash of this city. Ho was taken prisoner last’ October and the news of his release was wonderful news for his parents and relatives and friends. —o Pesident Truman will do considerable traveling if present plans work out. He expects to vieit the world conference early in June, may join Churchill and Stalin in a conference in the summer, will meet General DeGaulle of France and hopes tq attend the inauguration of an independent Philippines at Manila when it is held. In the meantime he will have considerable business in Washington as problem after problem arises. He seems to be able to solve them however and may find time to do a little running around. o—o -■ * Indiana's new department of commerce and publicity to be started June 1. may find its task bigger than anticipated. The far reaching freight rate decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, designed to encourage industrial development in the South, will increase the competition to hold industry in the state and to attract new businesses. But this new division will have only $20,000 a year to tell the nation about advantages offered by Indiana for manufacturing and as a playground. —-Maurice Early in Indianapolis Star. —o - That schools of Indiana are a h’-K business with an annual current expenditure of over $62,000,000 and a total enrollment of more than 600,000 pupils served by over 33,000 adults is readily shown by the 19431944 anneal report of the state superintendent of public instruction. just published. That schools are also an increasingly expensive business is shown by comparing the costs and the number of pupils served by those of five years before. While costs have gfown by more than $10,000,000, the number of pupils in Indiana public schools has shrunken by 26,526 In the five-year-period. —o Ten of the boys who graduated from DeCatdr high school last, evening are already in the armed ser-’ vice and eight others are awaiting l orders. The class of seventy-nine young people realize the importance of their future activities. They will help win the war and the peace and then enter into the postwar period prepared to take their full

Among the buildings destroyed or partly burned out were three imperial mansions, the French embassy, the Italian embassy, the Mexican legation, the private and official residences of education minister Kozo Ota and the official home of transportation minister Naoto Kohiyama, radio Tokyo said. Os the three imperial mansions, the palace of Prince Naruhiko Hi-gashi-Kuni was "totally destroyed” and those of Prince Kitashirakawa and Fuhrimi were “razed,” Tokyo said.

SYNOPSIS HELEN MILLER is an attractive young woman of 26. who has been jilted- 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 Mn New York on vacation. .* * • YESTERDAY: After some hard days of new work at the war plant. Helen finally dons her new formal and attends the Saturday night dance with Philip. All goes well until Paul Wentworth appears in a CAP uniform and asks to cut in on a dance. Philip agrees that Paul may dance with Helen, but just one dance. CHAPTER SIXTEEN OUTSIDE PAUL took out a silver cigaret case and offered it to Helen. She took a cigaret and so did he. "Remember it?” he said, “Remember what?” >’ r iS "The cigaret case.” “Yes. I bought it with the first money I ever earned," said Helen. She leaned back against one of the stone parapets and blew a smoke ring. “Nowhere in the world do they have nights like those Lakeville offers.” “They are wonderful,” Paul said. “And I’m glad. Helps me to keep from feeling too badly about not being other places—fighting.” Helen studied him and the uniform. “I don’t think I ever saw one like it before," she said, “The uniform you’re wearing.” “Not many around in groups,” said Paul. Then he explained briefly about the Civilian Air Patrol. “I took a quick training course—didn’t take long, since I already knew quite a bit about flying.” “And you can remain at home?” said Helen. “Yes," Pau! said. "Stay borne—sow, and hoe, and reap—and fly now and then to look the landscape over.” He also explained about patrol duty—and how he had to be on call, ready to fly at any moment "There’s an important pipe line being laid not far from here, you know—and I’m sort of assigned to keep my eyes on that Then, too, Lakeville’s a defense area—thanks to your aunt” * Helen said: *Tm awfuHy glad, Paul. I mean about your flying. You always loved it” “So did you,” he said. He moved closer. “How about flying with me now and then? A Civilian Air Patrol man needs help now and then. You’ve got keen eyes, and maybe could spot a saboteur doing things to the pipe line better than I could.” ■Tm busy,” Helen said, “at the plant Im taking over a lot of detail work that Aunt Minerva’s been doing.” "So what?” Paul said. “We can fly on Sundays— evenings.” Helen gazed up at the stars. It would be thrilling, she thought, to soar tfay up there once more. But there was Zoe—there were the town gossips—and there was the poosibility of starting ftfltai so re-

memhering again. “By the way," she said, “where’s Zoe ?" “In Washington,” said PauL “War-time job?” “No, doing the social. A Mrs. Roark we met up there invited her to come back for a visit” “Washington’s hectic, I hear. I think I prefer Lakeville.” “So do I, but Zoe doesn’t." “I guess she finds it lonely on a plantation." “Yep!” Paul said. “Let’s talk about something else.” “All right—what?” . “About us.” “That,” said Helen, “might prove to be a very dull subject indeed.” Paul suddenly tossed his cigaret out into the night “Listen, Helen,” he said, speaking rapidly, “let’s be friends. Let’s forget all that has happened and start from scratch." “It’s not always easy to forget, Paul,” Helen replied. “But I am forgetting. I think I can do it very well —without your help.” "I know, Helen, but—but—well, damnitall, I need a friend like you." Helen watched him. And as she did she had to fight the old urge to comfort him—to hold him close, love him--just as she had done in the days gone by, when he was discouraged, not sure he vranted to be a planter—not sure what he wanted to be. ‘Tm talking to you, Helen,” he said. “I heard you, PauL” “I said I needed a friend like you.” “I shall always be your friend,” Helen said. “I have no hard feelings whatever. Please be assured of that.” “Thank you, Helen.” “Don’t thank me, for goodness sake!” Helen said. "After all, a man has as much right to change his mind as a woman. And probably if someone had come along whom I liked better than you, I’d have changed my mind.” She thought a moment “Only I think I should have been a little less brutal.” She turned on Paul suddenly. “It was a brutal and a cruel thing, Paul, sending me that note to the church, of all places. The very church in which we’d planned to be married.” “t didn’t send it to the church." “Well, that’s where I got it” "I told the boy to be sure and get the note to you and to no one else. And someone told him they’d seen you going in the direction of the church—so he followed you." “Why couldn’t you have come and talked the matter over with me? I wouldn’t have held you against your will.” "I tried to, honest I did, Helen. I fought all night with myself—” “And then turned out to be a coward.” “Where you were concerned, yes.” “You faced me bravely enough this evening.” "Yes, I know.” "Why, because you’re now safely married to someone else ?" “Os course not” Paul managed a smile. “You practically swept me off my feet You practically drew me as a magnet."

“It's my new frock.’’ “It was yon—the frock had net ing to do with it.” “An<J to think I bought it at bargain.” “Bargain or no bargain, you lot like a million dollars in it.” “Still the same old Paul,” Helt said. “Compliments fairly roll o your tongue." “Don’t say things like that,” Pa begged. “Hang it all, if you tliii I’ve been happy about that not you’re—’’ “Let’s not talk about it ai more,’’ Helen interrupted. "Y( are married, you’re Zoe's husban and she adores you. Let’s just let rest there.” “I’m not so sure.” “What do you mean?” “About Zoe adoring me.” “Good heavens, Paul, the na thing you’ll be telling me is tin you’re a misunderstood husband “Well, I am.” “That,” said Helen, laughing,” too much.” “I mean it, Helen,” Paul rushe on. "Zoe’s sweet, and all that, bt she doesn't understand.” i “What is it she doesn't unde stand?” “About my wanting to live Lakeville— do all that I can t make my plantation grow and pr® per—” ♦ . “I should think anyone at a could understand that.” "So do I, but Zoe doesn’t She been wanting me to land a goven ment job in Washington—live t there—let someone else nianaf the plantation.” Paul stoppe looked at Helen. “You wouldn want to live in Washington if y< had a big plantation, would you. “No,” said Helen. “But then, don’t own a big plantation, lam” Zoe—and I'm working in a defen. plant. And, as a matter of fact, think it bad taste for you to a cuss your wife with the woman j jilted.” “Listen, Helen—” “Come on,” she said.
