one day this week, lined and warned not to let It occur again. It may seem a little harsh but Ito probably the only way to enforce the ordinances in a city. O—o Don’t miss the entertainment at the Decatur Senior-Junior high school auditorium Monday evening when the USS Helena navy band, accompanied by survivors of the Helena which was sunk by the Jape in July. 1943, will appear. IL will be Interesting, entertaining and you will enjoy the big 45-piece band. It’s free and there will bo no high pressure effort to sell bonds. Rather the idea of Geraid Vizard, chairman of arrangements, is to increase interest in the Mighty Seventh Loan Campaign. O—o The name of another Adams county man has been added to the list of heroes who have given their lives that the world may live free of fear and want. He is Pfc. Herbert Ehlerding, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Ehlerding of route two. He had served more than four years and had been in the Pacific area since January 1944. His record was one of the best and he had received the combat infantry badge, the American defense medal, good conduct medal, Philippine Liberation medal and the Asiatic-Pacific medal, rating him high as a brave and excellent soldier. The sympathies of the community are extended the bereaved parents, brother and sisters. President Truman announced three important cabinet changes this week. He appointed Tom C. Clark, of Texas, assistant attorney general to he attorney general, succeeding Francis Biddle, resigned; Judge Lewie Schwellenbach of Washington state to succeed Madam Frances Perkins as secretary of labor and Clinton P. Anderson of New Mexico to replace Claude R. Wickard. He also au- ,« J * A nounced 'tliat no further changes will be made in the near future and that Secretary of State Stettinius and Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau will continue in the service. The new high officials are held in high esteem for their ability and experience and it is believed the nominations will receive the senate approval necessary. O—O A Warning: A mall box was broken open. • The letters were carried away. One contained a check which a young woman had addressed to her landlady in payment of her room rent. The check was not received, oi course, yet bank records showed that it had been cashed. The thief had cashed it. And he had identified himself as the payee by presenting a social security card. When apprehended, he had spent the money. It was up to the merchant who had cashed the check to make good that amount. It has been urged repeatedly that social security cards should not be accepted as identification, Mr. Luecke, manager of the Social Security Board office at Fort Waytie stated today. “A social security card is issued to anyone who applies for one and no proof of identity is required. Its sole purpose is to show the number the Social Security Board has given his social security account, and, since no proof of identity is required, it should be clear to everyone that the social security card does not identify the bearer. No person should have more than one account and one card bearing the account number, but there is nothing to prevent his applying for more than one by making a false statement, ’’ Mr. Luecke explained. “So again I want to caution businessmen and all others in the community not to accept a social security card as identification of the bearer in any money transaction.” — -O' Democrat Want Ads Get Results

Now that summer is come, every woman feels she should have a really feminize, cool-looking print dress for important occasions. A new feature is the use of cut-out print motifs for decoration on print dresses. Samuel Kass* summer collection is keynoted by this form of trimming. His models show blossoms lifted out of splashy backgrounds and appliqued on black ribbon bows set in line with the bodice drapery. Three of his models are shown above.

TWO MONTHS after he had been reported as killed in action, Capt. Richard C. Suehr, 27, Crafton, Pa., walked into a briefing room of his Fifth 'Air Force fighter command’s group headquarters in the Philippines to read with amusement the newspaper clipping that told of his death in aerial combat on Jan. 1. Suehr’s plane was seen in a crash dive over Philippine waters and continuous search failed to reveal his whereabouts. Suehr, however, had been rescued by Filipino guerrillas, walked 200 miles and traveled by sail boat before arriving back with his outfit. Before he entered the service in March, 1940, Suehr completed a pre-medical course at Marquette university In Milwaukee, Wi3, (International Soundphoto)

SYNOPSIS I HELEN MILLER Is an attractive young woman ot 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 WNT 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: Paul Wentworth tells Helen that Zoe. the girl with whom he eloped, is in Washington and that she does not understand him. He asks Helen to fly with him sometimes, and though Helen dismisses his complaints, she finds that facing him and all her old friends on the same evening is somewhat of a strain. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN "THE BLUE plane,” said Paul, “has a lot of new gadgets now.” “What sort of new gadgets?” Helen asked. “Things necessary, now that she is doing war duty. I thought you might like to come out some time and have a look at it.” ■“I would like to see it,” Helen admitted. “Good!” “Perhaps I’ll drive out some time with Philip.” “Does he have to go everywhere you do?” “Oh, no, but I no longer have a car, neither does Aunt Minerva.” “I’ve got one.” “What ? With the gasoline shortage, and rubber conservation!" “Being a plantation owner, miles from town, I get a few concessions.” “I see.” “I can very easily pick you up some day at the factory and drive you out. We could have a short flight, too, before it gets dark.” “Never mind,” said Helen. “I’ll just drive out some fine day with Nebuchadnezzar.” “Is that a promise ?" “I promise nothing at all, Paul,” Helen said. ’Tin making no plans nor—” “Dates?” ! “No, no dates.” I “Okay! But you can’t keep a man from hoping.” “I suppose not. Not even a man who never knows his own mind five minutes in a row.” : *7 know mine, all right” i “Really? Then you must be 1 groaing up at last.” i “Don’t be catty, Helen. That’s I not your line." i “What is my line? Td really like to know.” “You haven’t any.” "Imagine that!" said Helen. "A girl of today without a line!” They danced in’silence for a few moments. Then Paul said: “So long as we've both come home, Helen, don’t you think we ought to make the most of it?” “That depends upon what you .consider making the most of it,” I she retorted. I Just then the music came to a stop, and she saw Philip coming to meet her. She went to meet him, Paul at her heels. A handsome man waiting for her and a handsome man following. Not bad. She thought more seriously, what was going to be the outcome of it all? Meanwhile, up in Washington,

Zoe Wentworth was taking her fun where she found it; which hap- ' pened to be, at the moment, in a theater where a comedy hit was , playing before having its Broadway opening. She was the guest of Mike : Waterman. Mrs. Roark, her hostess, was also a guest, as well as a mid-dle-aged man in the uniform of an army officer. “A sort of minor major among a lot of filing cabinets,” as he jokingly expressed it They first dined at Mike’s hotel, which happened to be the most fashion- , able and most expensive one in the city. They now occupied four seats well down front. “I practically had to bribe half the people in Washington," he said, “to get them.” , "And,” Mrs. Roak said, "Mike Waterman always gets what he wants.” “Not always,” he retorted, giving Zoe a swift glance. She pretended not to see and centered her attention on the stage. It was fun being in Washington with people like Mrs. Roark, Mike Waterman and Major Carstairs, certainly a lot more fun than being stuck way out on the Wentworth plantation, waiting for Paul to return from overseeing the planting or from one of his flights. This, she tol<J herself, was the sort of life she was cut out for—the sort of life she had thought wpuld be hers when she married Paul. Only he had different plans, once he had taken her for his wife. He was wonderful in lots of ways, Paul was, and she had been absolutely mad about him. If she hadn’t been, she wouldn't have stolen him from the Miller girl. But now, with the world filled with exciting happenings, a plantation was no place to live, even with a man you’d once been mad about. No, Washington was more her style. The curtain went down on the second set, and Mrs. Roark touched her arm. “Let’s slip into the ladies’ room,” she said. “That’s a good idea,” Zoe said. They went up the aisle with the two men. In the foyer Mrs. Roark said: “You two men be good waile Zoe and I make ourselves beautiful.” “Is that necessary?” said Mike. "Is what necessary—you two being good or we two making ourselves beautiful ?" “The latter,” said Mike. “We’ll be good,” said the major. "We’re satisfied with our girls, aren’t we, Mike?” “You bet we are! Couldn’t find more charming companions if we looked high and low.’* "You old flatterer, you!” said Mrs. Roark, and patted his cheek. "We won’t be gone long.” “Better not be," said the major. “We shall be devastated.” In the ladies’ room, Mrs. Roark said: “They’re darlings, aren’t they?” “Yes,” agreed Zoe, "they are! Sometimes I think the older men ■ are nicer than the younger ones.” "That’s because they’ve learned a lot of things from a lot of womi en.” » “That," said Zoe, “makes them , sound a bit shopworn, don’t you i think?” "No, of course not.” Mrs. Roark ' touched up her lips and did things i to her lashes. “Os course you know Mike Waterman’s in love with you f” , ,? No, I didn’t know it,” said Zoe.
