In our commentsy on the Bluffton street fair we were in error by referring to it as an amusement and agriculture show. Correctly described, it was a beauty contest. . ‘, 7o ' o The Civil Aeronautics Administration prohibits further hazardous air stunts, like the one which claimed 20 lives at Flagler, CoL, a week ago. That decision sounds sensible, and the. public should support it by refusing\to attend any exhibition where rec\lessness might lead to disaster among spectators. : The Republican majority in the • legislative has decided to stand pat on the law of ths welfare department. To save face, one group favors legislation postponing enforcement of the law until 1953. If the law is wrong it should be repealed. Indiana would be the only state in the UnioU that < ■ would not receive federal aid .in running the welfare program, if the- present law reniains on the > books. ; Mobilization Chief Charles E.

. A • Roscoe Drummond, Washington t correspondent for the Christian I Science Monitor, has returned \ from Europe and eayz that Gen. Dwight Elsenhower will be an ’ active candidate for the Repub- ' llcan presidential nomination. Drummond contends that Eisenhower has already made up his , mind to run, because he is fearful a group of isolationists Will otherwise control the party. So far Drummond has made the most .. positive statement on the General’s political attitude. The people will watch for more clues, before they are convinced that Ike is a candidate. o— —o 100 Years Ago:— f As one views present day edifices of the Lord, it is difficult to imagine that all our churches were born in little log cabins, or . frame buildings that accommodated fewer than'a hundred souls. ’ Jn keeping with this pioneer pattern and in answer to the spiritual motivation of those who formed the nucleus of the congregation in 1838, the first church of the Methodists was built here in 1851. It was a frame structure that stood on the site of the present Moose home, corner of First apd Jacksoh streets. " L ■ — - i ■ ■ For the next month, beginning next Sunday; the Rev. Samuel Emerick, pastor and the congre- , gation of the First Methodist church, will celebrate Vhe Centennial of their first church in this .city. ' . An interesting program of spiritual devotions, augmented with historical incidents and the . presence of nearly a score of persons who haVe been members of the congregation for fifty years and more, has been prepared. No sooner was our city founded in 1836, than sincere worshippers of all faiths formed congregations and built their first churches. They believed in God and collectively waited to worship Him. 1. In 1881 the brick edifice at the northwest corner of Monroe and . Fifth streets was built by the •Methodists. Remodeled and Redecorated, it i£ encouraging to read that the congregation also has plans for a larger House of Worship/ Our churches form the foundation upon which Decatur . was built.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR : JIM ELIOT slid into the car seat beside Anna “We couldn’t manage a movie in an hour," be remarked, as the car slid forward. "Would you be Interested in a soda fountain ? You say." "Let’s just wander," Annl eaid. "I got bored at home and 1 came but looking for adventure. You’re ft." - -J ■ r Tm flattered. At my age it’s encouraging to be suspected of adventure. You could ease those brakes down, you know, and thereby forego the pleasure of breaking your passenger's neck.” "Shut up!" ordered Anne amiably. "I haven’t had a billet-doux from Judge Fowler yet." "Pun over and park," he said abruptly. "1 can’t talk while you’re playing billiards With trucks and busses." .. j "Oh, ail right. But if we’re seen there could be a scandal, as you are doubtless aware." Almost she had said, I’m not Aunt Laura. I care what people think. "Pick a lighted spot. This laundry is open. Now—" he leaned back. "What about this wife of yours?” Anne demanded. "1 do have a wife," he said after .a little silence. "We were married ten years ago. in New Mexico, She was very young and very pretty. Her family were people of Spanish extraction. We thought we were terribly in Jove. Then I was sent to the Pacific, to the Philippines, to Bataan and all that, happened over there 1 wps gone five years. Five years is a long time—when you are pretty and seventeen." j ••There was somebody else?” Anne asked. "When I came back," he said, and his voice had grown hoarse and thickened a tittle, "there was a child. Two years old.. I have to admit it wasn’t too much of a blow. People change in five years. I vias a stranger to her. We had no common ground, no place to begin. She Was different too, of course." "You mean, you might have forgiven her?" "For one mistake I might have made myself forgive her. But she had gone on cheapening herself. She was defiant about it Legally, of course, the child is mine, born in wedlock." "The poor little thing!" Anne said gently. He took out a cigaret and lighted it. “It was a little girl, an attractive kid. 1 would have taken tier —and the mother too, stranger that she had grown to be —but she didn’t want any part of me. The baby liked me. Her name is Pepa. My wife’s name is Maria and her people are proud and poor; i they stood by her. I came East. Cm still married though I don’t teei married, ft all seems a little < like something that happened to wmebody else. I send Maria Tioney every month, yet I’m not a i iusband.” _ I;

"X think it’s a sad story," Anne • said. "That sort of thing hap- • pened so often during the war, > didn't it? I mean, some men had a lot to forgive?” j j "And some women too." "1 know. Like Aune Laura?* i “Laura," he remarked, "seemk , to Have, recovered very gallantly?' ( Anne looked at him sharply, then started the car and backed i out slowly, keeping her eyes on . the mirror. "You could get a djr , vorce, you know. You have I grounds,” she said, not looking at , him. "You could get a divorce if you wanted to marry Aunt Laura.” “What makes you think I want to marry your Aunt Laura?” he asked. “Nothing, really—just a thought 1 had.” "Don’t spoil your Aunt Laura for me. She’s a good friend,.and I can use a friend. She doesn't mix friendship with romance." "Men,” mused Anile with the wisdom of eighteen, "are always so sure about women!” He looked a trifle disturbed ay that.' "I can get a divorce wheat ever I want it," he said. "We’ve been separated the legal period. But I like to feel that I’ve got a little claim on Pepa. Not that her mother would ever give her up/ unless she wanted to marry somebody else —and she can’t do that while her father is alive. He’s a grim old hombre.” \ "No wonder you haven’t talked about it?’ } "Never before to anyone, no or® ' but you, Anne,” he said. She glowed a little at that. "Not even to Aunt Laura?” “Laura is a blithe extrovert. She isn’t Interested in personal!* ties or problems. She simply implies that problems don’t exist.” / “Probably,” said Anne, "because she has had so many of her own.* She was wondering what his reaction would be if she should tell, him about Mary Gallagher, about that squalid \ little house. She wouldn’t tell, of course. Neither she nor her father had mentioned Mary • Gallagher to but Laura since their return ftoni South Carolina. She said, “I’ll have to dump you* out somewhere. I’m supposed to: check in at home in ,ten minutes and it’s eight blocks. Just tell me one thing, Jim—or you needn't really, it’s certainly none of my affair—” “Suppose I tell you, even though it is none of your affair. Otherwise you’ll have it on your mind from now on,” he teased. “You asked for it. I was going to ask you if you were in love with Aunt Laura?” " , He was silent for a moment. Then he said levelly, “Stop here, ; Anna I’ll walk back. And I*ll an- : swer your question. 1 could be in love with Laura, but I doubt if I there is any hope that she would 1 ever be in love me.” > < “Because she’s older?” • | "No, 1 don’t think that would master to Laura What I think i is that deep down Laura* really

> loves somebody else, though she - may not even realize that she , does." i ‘"Uncle Johnny! ,Do you ever ?at unmarried from people, Jim? ou should know. Do you? Are you unmarried from Maria?" i “Yes, I feel completely unmar* ’ ried. It can happen if it doesn't , go deep. Ours was a kid affair, I made hurried and crazy by war. i But there are loves that last forever, that can't .be killed by any i Court decree." He opened the door : as she slowed at a corner. *TB ’ get out here." She nodded, suddenly tingling : ail over, killed the motor. “Jim, i I am the only person who knows about Pepa? You've never told , anyone else In this town?" ... . “There hasn't been any special . occasion for telling. I wasn't trying to keep it a secret. A man , just doesn't go, around blurting out the story of his past. A cheated busband is always a sort of joke, as you know.” 1 ’ She went on a bit hoarsely, , keeping her eyes straight ahead. “And this was a special occasion, was it? i I mean, am I kind of special with you, Jim?" "You’re definitely special with me." He laughed. 'I like you, ( little Anne." He was unprepared for the emotion that shook her voice. “Oh, Jim, do you?" she cried. “More than anybody?" He patted her arm a bit hastily. "More than I like a lot of people." His tone was light but Anne missed the import of it. She turned a tragic face. "But it's no use, is' it?" She choked. “No use at all!" , Suddenly aware of her Import, Eliot grew concerned and uneasy. "Anne, baby, don't bother your heart about an old man like me," he urged anxiously. “Go find yourself somebody young to play around with." She cranked up the window with a fierce, quick swooping motion, while EUot jumped back. Then the starter roared and the car leaped forward. Eliot shouted, Seeing the' truck rounding the corner, but too late. The smaller car was almost lifted into the air. She was alive when he kicked the shattered front door aside and eased her from under the broken steering wheel. "t«ay her flat!" yelled somebody, running up. “Her back might be broken." A policeman elbowed in, knelt and took her wrist. Somewhere \ a siren screamed. The truck driver was swearing and sobbing all at once, scrubbing hie face with ms cap, “She jurned right into me,** he was shouting into the policeman’s ear. "She run right into I me!" Eliot knelt in the pool of splin- | tered glass on the pavement, Mis I flat palm under her head. “Where it hurt, Anne?" he whiepered. I "My leg!” she whimpered child- j ishly. s "Ohji'i my leg!” 1 (To Be Continued! j
