October with Its beautiful blue ■kies, colored leaven and snappy weather, will be here In another week, so get ready to enjoy it. -0 One thing about air circuses the kid* cun aee moat ot the show without peaking through a kitol hole in the tuuce. —o Another couple of weeks without front would save all the crops in this county, according to the agriculturists. -.-—o—o ■— The big league baseball contests for pennants will wind up this week and then cornea the big event — the world series which always gives a thrill. —U—V— —■ Daylight saving time will end all over the country Sunday morn Ing at two o'clock. September 30th. Congress has passed the act as requested by the president —o If you have relatives overseas and don't expect them home soihi. it’s time to think of their Christmas package*. To assure delivery they must be mailed not later than October 16th. — .0-0 The prediction ot Itev. Long out at Pasadena tiiat the world would end last Friday morning al 9:30 didn't even alarm the people generally. lie will have to talk to that vision again. —o Fifty-six years ago Nellie lily became famous by making a trip around the world in eighty days. If she could return to terra firms she would be surprised to hear that some of the buys are now doing it In 86 hours. The use of bin', the powerful new insecticide, evidently did not relieve the situation In the Rockford area where new cases continue to be reported in one of the worst epidemics of the ailment so tor reported. —o The cheaper grades of meat will be oft the ration list by October Ist and perhaps within ninety days it will be possible to buy any kind of steaks, pork or other meats you may wish. And that's really good news for millions. —o The age scale for discharge from tbe armed forces Is going down steadily. It will only require seventy points October Ist and sixty points a month later. By December ft Is promised that ail men who have served two years will be eligible to return to home and civilian life. It will sopn he over. As greater industrial demands come for ground water. Indiana may have to follow the course of other states In reguhting pumping The state ot Washington has placed the regulation of water uu-

der a supervisor of hydraulics, the American Public Works tion jeports. A bright Christmas la forecast by electrical manufacturers, wh<> will have fluore-went tree lights ready by Yuletide The new lights. In several colors, “burn cool" snd should lengthen the lite of the tree. A string can be added to Incandescent tree bu bs without auxiliary equipment. —o According to bile Atogasinc. Governor Dewey knew all about Pearl Harbor when he made his 1911 campaign hut withheld the information because of ills high re gard for General Marshall. Perhaps tie can tell the story now a no one else seems to have all thdetails. More than 3.000 veterans of World War II will be on the pay rolls of airlines by fall, a survey of the Air Transport Assn, revests. This activity includes not only restoring jobs to veterans, but taking on many others not previously employed At present about 2'iu veterans are being rehired or hirer! every week by the airlines. —o The Japs will have to feed them selves under an order from General Ma< Arthur which is designed to check inflation in that country and prevent hunger riots. About IM.mat American soldiers will be on duty there by the end of this y -ar and after that the number will depend on the requirements, it has been announced. —o Senator Willis has been given a front row seat In the senate ch amber, which probably doesn't interrst him as much as it would to know that be will have any old seat there after next year's conventions and elections. The change was made following the death of Senator Hiram Johnson and the Hoosier was advanced to seat no. 5 on the Republican side. —o—o Now we have a bomber plane that can leave this country, fly io Europe, drop its eggs and return here non-stop. Os course other nations will have similar fighting equipment and might even surpass ours. That's why we should be dreadfully in earnest about the United Nations Charter and what It stands tor. It: other words, there should be uo mure wars if we would continue civilisation. Every one here is happy over the news that Glen Martin, well known Decatur man. has been freed from a Japanese prison camp after nearly four years, lie was among those, captured al Wake Island where be was working with a construction crew and while his mother had received occasional letters, nhe is. as may be imagined greatly relieved by the official word of his safety ami tbe information that be will soon be sent home.

UUIUV. —o—o Experts who have surveyed tin' situation say that for some time to como we are going to need some six million new cars, a million new I homes, fifteen million radios, bei sides millions of refrigerators, teleI phones, washing machines and other electrical appliances. We will also need a lot of new shoes, cloth- , ing, hats and hose and the farmer , needs tractors, cultivators, fence . and to make all these Items the r manufacturer needs tools. How r can the next decade be any thing } but a busy and prosperous one? It can be more so it we all work to- , aether to make it so. — -O -— Being a good sports fan helps one to be a good ai.*?lane pilot, the I 2945 Encyclopedia Britannica Year k Book reports.

— - another adventure in nostalgia with Director Otto Preminger at tha helm of his first Technicolor musical. Most of the big cast is working today. They are gathered around a piano in an old-fashioned parlor, Binging lustily as Jeanne Crain plays the catchy melody. Loudest voice to that of Walter Brennan. He and Dorothy Gish are married in the picture and Jeanne Crain and Linda Darnell are their daughters. Jeanne s real mother, Mrs. L. A. Crain, to present as spectator. I ask her about the runon that she is opposing Jeanne's marriage to handsome Paul Brooks, who looks enough like Errol Flynn to be his double. She laughs good-naturedly. •‘Jeanne to 20," she says. "If she really wanted to get married, there's nothing I could do about it But she's a wise girt. I think *h«* i realizes that she to just starting out on her career and that she i still to a little young to get married." Mrs. Crane herself doesn't look old enough to be the mother of a 20-year-old daughter. I ask her when she got married. "Oh. I was kind of young." •How young?" “Oh, if you must know, I was i IB," she confesses with another laugh. Well, that still tesves her in a bettor strategic position than was

Secretary of State James Byrnes is convinced could come in eight to 10 years dewpite the present worldwide devastation. Few hard decisions were expected as an outcome on tbe coßference and probably the most important phases of every major issue will be referred to deputies for solution under broadly-gener-alized instruction*. American delegates still held high hope- that speedy ami complete agreement could be ranched on President Trumans proposal tor internationalisation ot Europe's inland waterways. The week-end switch from ex treme pessimism to hope over the icouits of the conference was based in part on a serie- ot telephone conversations among London, Mtweow and Washington.

Shirley Temple t mama. Mrs. TernpH married when she waa 17. I drop out on the "Never Say Goodbye" set to find Errol Flynn, Eleanor Parker, little Patti Brady and a half dozen other players working in a police station. It's one of the key scenes in the comedy — the reconciliation be* tween the divorced hero and heroine after the recovery of their little girl who has run away. The parents are hovering over the youngster. Everybody else la bawling them out for their silly quarrels. Particularly, six foot, four Forrest Tucker who gives Flynn a beating in the picture. After Director Jimmy Kern okays the take, I ask Flynn about his fight with Tucker. "It's not the only licking I take in the picture," he says. “This poor guy can’t even win an argument." “Is it true that you never lost a screen fight before?" X ask. Errol frowns in concentration. "No," he says finally. "There was that time the Indians beat the heck out of men when I was General Cusrer." Then he adds with a grin: "Os ’ course, there were 4,000 of them." Joan Bennett certainly didn't hold out for a happy ending in ; "Scarlet Street," first picture of i "Diana Productions,” of which she > is treasurer. > Eddie Robinson stabs her with an ice-pick.

Director Fritz Lang, Robin- » son and Dan Duryea, all of whom f worked with Joan in "Woman In i the Window,” are in a heavy con- * ference. Presently, there are a series of c wolf whistles from the crew and i Joan comes onto the Mt' wearing a r pink nightgown. She looks—well, all I can say Is that it's a shame to sub her. As a matter of fact, they still s haven't, when 1 leave an hour r later. In real life, a crime of passion may be over tn a few »ec* s onds. But on a movie set, it's uaa ble to take all afternoon.

CHAPTER TWENTY BUT AS ths days passed, Terry's confidence in her ability to And ths cause of the fguchog’ troubla diminished. She had plenty of contact with the worker families these busy days. This business of overseeing the furnishing of the peon houses was no morning's task. She and Jlme were at work early and late on the unending stream of details. And every peon family must be consulted on all matters where there was a choice. “I want them to feel it’s their home," Jlme Insisted, "not just something the senora thrust upon them." Terry was happy enough to spend her days riding over the estancla. talking with the peon families. Angela had been a priceless link. Terry could see the girl's shy eagerneas tn theee people. She liked them and they seemed to know it She drank innumerable gourds ot mate, talked their language with them until she no longer stumbled over Idioms. She advised them on their choice of materials, laughed with them, jounced their babies; sometimes she even lunched with them. But though she often noticed troubled, tempted glances, none of these pampas women ever confided in her. “It’s not at ail like the housewives in my country," she complained to Sandy and Brooks one day when she dropped Into Brooks’ study to report another failure. “Try spending a half day with them and get away without hearing their troubles! You must have a strain of Spartan blood in these parts." Bandy's eyes wrinkled In a dry chuckle. "Have you tried telling them YOUR trouMes?" he suggested. Terry was startled. “But 1 haven't any troubles!" Jime’e laugh Bounded behind her “That's the spirit I love,” Jlme said heartily as she came In. “Even while I keep her running from sunrise to sunset she ean still say sht has no troubles!" Terry returned Jlme's smile wit! equal fondness. “This is the mosi fun I’ve ever had In my life, 1 think,” she Mid honestly. Brooks wss examining the blue orinta Jims had tossed onto hl<

Wallace refused, at a press conference after the broadcast, to give his views on the controversy over possible sharing ot atomic bomb secrets with ,other nations. He has been conferring with university of Chicago sclent Isle on the future of atomic power. Wallace appeared with Henry Haxlltt. chief editorial writer of

desk. His slow smile showed how t pleased he was trith the work. •Raff is doing the kind of work he r showe t promise of in school but s heretofore has always been too lazy to carry out His Interest In c the project really Is phenomenal!" i he enthused. ii Jime chuckled. “Oh, not too phe- t nomenal," she murmured, winking at Terry. Terry grinned. "He hasn't a I chance to backslide." she explained. "Whenever he looks on the wllty side, Jime or I throw in a couple of t darts and bo jogs right along < again." « Sandy chuckled again. "I can ( see." bo said to Brooks, “the poor I laddie hasn't a chance between l those two!" _ I “No, I’m afraid ho hasn’t, 1 Brooks agreed. The talk turned then to the plans < for the asada.

"Look!” She moved across - to the window and pointed. Sandy, - Terry and Brooks followed to look » out past the shaded wooden dance i* floor to a spot near the stable*. 1. Here the baroness’ tiny, autoi cratic figure, In tangerine and purr pie lounging pajamas, was poised b at the edge of what was apparently the barbecue pit in process of eony strucUon. She gesticulated and g shouted down Into it, then stopped back satisfied as shovels of dirt came flying up. I “She Is oversec'ng the Job!" gasped Brooks. r. “Her enthusiasm Is boundless,” d murmured Jime dryly. “We will unn doubtedly be able to barbecue every I- animal on the estancia in that pIL” e “I only hope the diggers have 0 road map,” toughed Terry. h Jime frowned at her, puzzled, it "Road map’" I Terry laughed harder. “Just another Norte American phrase,” she s- said. “I mean I hope they’ll be able is to find their way back up when
