( Where will they run all the ve- j hides unless we keep up with the ( riders by building new roads.

In the territories now in charge of the Americans in Japan, the citizens are not permitted on the streets between sundown and dawn and thats just one of the regulations now being enforced. One large company that produces automobile parts is planning for eight years of terrific demands for their goods. They figure it will take that long to ca'tch up on the car business before it settles down to normal requirements. ——o—o Concrete evidence that the postwar period has arrived is the fact that Decatur will soon not have a vacant business house. The Laman building and the Boch south room have been rented and are now being pul in condition for occupancy. —o The horse came into his own in Indiana the past year or two according to a survey recently completed by Purdue university. It shows that in 1944 thirty percent of all farm work in the state was done by the draft animals and seventy percent by machines. —o As yet we have no conception of what atomic powers, coustructtively applied, can do for us. But certainly no one can doubt that we look down the vistas of a new ago. Our scientists, working in industry’s laboratories, can harness this ■tremendous energy for good. —o The pictures now being published of Paul V. McNutt look like they might have been taken durihg his college days. He is really older than these photos make him appear and has had plenty of experience to make his service valuable. —o Noble county is planning to build a $165,000 county infirmary, Since there present' farm' only cares • for inmates, we take it they are looking forward to a big increase in charity cases. Perhaps a modern home of that kind would attract more cestomers. Is that the big

An automatic dishwasher, design- ' ,d for the ordinary home to sell for less than a. hundred dollars, has been perfected and will be available next year, announces one of the large electric manulact 'turers. Won’t it be wonderful to slam the dishes in a rubber pan, turn a button and dispose of the task in a moment or two? O—O Jonathan Wainright who stuck to his guns at Corrigidor until that fort fell, was captured and held a prisoner for more than three years, has been nominated by President Truman and approved by the senate as a four-star general. His buddies and the people generally are glad for 'the deserved recognition of a great soldier.

O—O It's still next to impossible to rent a house in Decatur and it will probably continue that way until more are erected. That cannot be done extensively for a while until materials are available in greater qquantities. Next year should bring quite a building boom that will permit the city to continue its growth. O—O Admiral McCain, brilliant soldier who took a prominent part in the Pacific war. attended the surrender ceremonies on the Missouri and then flew home to San Diego died from a heart attack in less than twenty-ot'ur hours after his arrival. He was slated to become director of the veteran’s navy affairs in Washington, D. C. Life is uncertain. O—O Congressman Randolph of West Virginia wants the French and British to pay their war debts to this coufitry by transfering a num- ( ber of islands that could be used ] to advantage as outposts by the ' by the United States. It at least ( merits some consideration and uu- i

less there is good reasons not do do so, it might result in a satisfactory settlement. —o Leo Yager was reelected presid- < ent of the Citizen’s Telephone company last week with Sam E. Hite, vice-president; C. E. Bell, treasurer, Lt. Charles Ehinger, secretary and Arthur E. Voglewede, general counsel. These men also form the board of directors. The company is one of the best Independent telephone organizations in the midwest and plans are being made to j further improve their .valauble plant. o—o Prosperity, plenty of it —a big boom—is ahead for this country IF we use good judgment, meet our problems bravely and with fairness. That’s the prediction of President Truman and is backed up by his suggestions of what he thihks congress should do. He did not lean to the right or left in his 16,000 word message but showed that he is for every citizen and a better America. Later he will ask congress to aid in other matters than those presented in his first message. Now it’s up to the law makers, most, of whom seem inclined to aid though a few continue to yell “new deal” and play politics. The next tew’ months, during which we chart a course of action for the postwar period, will be very important to every citizen of the United States and we hope congress will be smart. ,— —o ’ 24 DECATUR HIGH (Continued P><jin Page Ona) national Business, Fort Wayne; Betty Jean Roop, International Business; Donnabelle Roop, Ball State; Mary Smith, Purdue university, Lafayette;!

VVCI. Australia has informed the war crimes commission that it. desires machinery be set in motion immediately for the trial of Japanese war criminals, Evatt said. He said the Australian report was based on the testimony of 500 witnesses and was prepared by Sir William Webb, chief justice of Queensland for the war crimes commission. At Sydney, the state council of the Australian legion of former servicemen and service women voted to cable Evatt and the British government a protest against retention of Hirohito and the present members of the Japanese diet. The council urged the Allies adopt, the French legal code for trials of Japanese war criminals. The code holds every accused person guilty until proved innocent. Webb’s report said that a great number of American and Austra- . lian dead recovered after the Bu-na-Gona campaign in New Guinea we_re found mutilated as though

SYNOPSIS 1 TERRY ARNOLD, a young Vermont newspaperwoman, has written a fair- . ly successful novel. To gather material for a second book she has gone 1 to the Argentine, her subject matter to be the wealthy playboy set of that , Latin-American country. Other characters are: i BROOKS KIMBERLY, owner of Ultimo ■ Ventura, a race horse; CORINNE ARTIGAS, Kimberly’s fiancee. and ■ RAFF CORDOBA, architect and friend of Kimberly. YESTERDAY: Terry learns that the way to an Argentinean’s heart is not through his stomach, but through his cattie and his horses. CHAPTER TEN IT WAS long after sunset when Terry and Raff rode their weary mounts back to the stables after a ride around the estancia. Raff was humorously disgusted. They could have had a nice comfortable afternoon in the house. Did she have to

see such a hunk of the estancia in i one day ? 1 Terry laughed. She was tired, but ; glowing with the excitement of the ; afternoon’s mavels. On just one < estancia, hour after hour through new fields and pastures, thousands of horses, square miles of cattle and swine, a dairy, a hospital for the army of ranch hands, whose houses dotted the landscape, a cobbler’s shop, a tailor, a blacksmith shop, a commissary for the gauchos, a private railroad station with shipping corrals! “It’s not like a town in itself," Terry whispered. "It’s like a kingdom! Why, you'd almost need a map to remember the pastures and the herds." “But of course they do have a i map. Lots of maps of it," Raff said, "with every acre of crop, every herd of livestock, and every gaucho family listed. they left their horses with a groom and started up through the grounds toward the house. Terry paused at a small tower building set in a circle of trees. Raff told her Brooks’ father had built it. It was a conservatory. He was interested in astronomy, but from it you could also see all over the estancia. Terry sighed with tired content. “That’S all it needed,” she murmured, “a conservatory.” They met Brooks in the entrance hall, which looked more like a baronial castle than ever, with its huge chandeliers aglow. He had just come in from the landing field, having been to town for some sulfa drugs for China. "We're all late for dinner," he said with a guilty smile. “Jime, the baroness, Corinne, her father, and soihe political big boys catie in at tea time." Raff groaned. "Big talk at dinner

then. How’s China?” “Not too good,” Brooks worried. "I brought MacDougal out from town for consultation. Terry ached with fatigue, but she forced’herself to leave the luxury of her hot tub and dress quickly. She didn’t want to miss the fresh batch of characters heaven had sent. A small, brown-skinned girl who said her name was Angela came in to help her dress. Terry thought humorously, “So I did get mypersonal maid, after all!” Her clothes had been unpacked, everything laundered and put neatly into drawers. She brushed her hair till it shone, slipped into her freshly pressed turquoise evening dress, clasped her antique bracelets around slim arms, wielded powder puff and lipstick with the speed of a newspaper woman dressing to

go after a scoop, and hurried doton 1 to join Raff. He gazed at her in blank astonishment. It wasn’t ’ right, he mourned, for a woman of beauty to be made of such iron and • speed. The dinner table was exquisite ! with lace, candlelight, flowers and ’ silver. Perfectly trained servants ’ noiselessly and swiftly served sumptuous coarses. Jime, Terry ; thought, was the perfect hostessautocratic, yet flexible. Corrine, . however, was the one who showed the strain of guiding the conversation. It was she who was playing press agent for Brooks to the three important looking gentlemen from Buenos Aires, pointing out his popularity in the community, as well es Buenos Aires, plus the reputation for integrity earned by his fa-, ther and his grandfather. Terry could see that Corinne’s sauve father was secretly amused at his daughter’s determined effort to launch Brooks’ political career. Terry liked him at once. He was simple, forceful, sincere. And his. liking for Brooks was , genuine. He watched him closely as . Senor de Valders, the most voluble i of the politicians, spoke of the un- , derground organization among the . I peons that must be stamped out. . And he seemed pleased with Brooks’ reaction. Brooks he3d that > the peons and gauchos had a right . to organize if it were to their ad- , vantage. t “You’re right, Brooks," he said. ■ "However, this particular organ!i zation is not to their advantage. From what we can discover, it is B only a method some rascal has e worked out to collect revenue from 1 the peons by empty promises and t threats.” The baroness cried to Raff. “It’s r |hideous, isn’t it?

You will dance with me once after dinner and play a hand, of cards before I lose m y mind?” . Senor Artigas turned to cnucKie at the baroness. “You, Baroness, would make even a state of insanity charming. I’ve no doubt. ‘“Well, there’s no use going back to Buenos Aires,” Jirae told the baroness. "It’s going to be steadily worse until after election. You mus stay on here.” , . , “We might get up a little bet on the outcome to keep things bearable,” Raff suggested. The baroness tossed her snon, dyed hair. -“I thought of that.
