ANNE lay quietly between the cool smooth sheets of tier-bed: Outside, down near her pool, there was a grandfather frog whose deeb bass bellow sounded occasionally through the stillness. Save for that the night was serene. The pool, she was thinking.. Never anything perfect Never anything operating,,smoothly. She had known, of course, they would have to fill the basin with the hose but that, she had planned, could be done when no one was around. To 'have to leave the thing lying out there, visible all the time, just - because they had been amateurs, just because they couldn’t afford l experts— » ~ / It’s a little thing, and I shouldnT mind. But 1 do mind. Patches aid poverty. I’m sick of it all! There was an avenue of escape open to her if she wanted to take . it. I With a tittle encouragement Joe Mehck would ask her to be his wife.t But—well, she didn’t know. She didn’t like to think about It. Joe was nobody she-really wanted to marry. It was right to date him but what she liked best about him was his car. And his beautiful hqme. And his pocket always full of money. Only none of that was him. She sighed faintly. ■ It would be easier if I, went away somewhere, she told herself. " Ohly how can I ? Mother needs nae here. This house is much too big for her, and she’s tired. Anyway, what could I do? Unless I took sofne courses which I can’t afford to take, there’s nothing open for me but teaching. And I don’t wait to teach! , , Donald Kent. Well, «bc hdd come to him .in spite Os herself. All evening, she had’ been trying to forget him, but the memory, was too sharp. The minute her eyes had met his above her mother’s head sha had had the sUangeet ' feeling sfce had ever known. SMe had felt her heart Uke a clock that, for no known reason arid with complete lias come to a dead atop. Then, when it began going again, it’was at/a perfectly insane- rate. It had eu;-1 taxra&sed and angered her, tut she, utuniy iwlpWw* and at

Another favorable factor in the farm Inventory is that 1,526 tractors are owned by farmers and that the average farm of 100.4 acres is valued at $17,339, ; including laud and buildings. | county has above average « farms, both from a point of value and production. —o—o——? • . We believe the government has | done 4he honorable thing in offering to pay the tines of the four American fliers for their immediate release from a Hungarian jail. The men were in uniform and under military command. They are son*, Os this country and while niany Americans would r rather drop bombs on the Communists who grounded their plane, the re- * lease of the fliers such actions. The important thing ; is to get the men back safely, al- . though the case is a hold L up on the «part of the Hungarian government. The score with the kidnappers may be evened some day. Thurman Gottschalk:— Few' men in Indiana have had longer or mbre illustrious public cartel's than former State Senator y ; Thurman A. Gottschalk of Berne. Few men could ever equal his record of-worthy public service to his county, district and state. Mr. Gottschalk began his polk tii al career in 19U9, when he serv•S. . . , f ed,gs a representative in IndianA S' (Ten er al Assembly from Adams. Blackford and'Wells counties. He

had only been by the greatest exertiqjf -of her < will that she had i made her voice come out as calm ' as tt 'had. . 1 “And Pm not sure now,” she sadd, naif r aloud. And then, with another Sigh, she turned on her side and composed herself for sleep. I i ' The Parson stood alone under the stars. Unable, for some unknown to sleep, and waiting .until his wife’s breathing. assurexi .him he would not disturb her, ne had slipped out of bed. pulled mis trousers and coat oh over his pajamas,, and, with his slippers slapping softly on every • stair, had come forth into the night. And what a night it was! One of surpassing splendor. With the deep, still pleasure that was always hi* at such a moment, his trained eyes sought and found old familiar constellations. “A thousand years ui Thy sight arc but as yesterday,” he told himself, quoting the words of the' PssdmisL For a while longef he remained with his eyes on the beauty of the heavens above him, marvelling anew at the Great Intelligence that controlled all those distant bright and shining worlds, holding each to its appointed course by His established Law. How could one ever doubt, he wondered, that there, invisible yet clearly visible, in that great and glittering panoply, was the Father of the Universe? Periodically religion revived, and with each upsurge nations were lifted to a higher "spiritual level than before. 1 ' A world community is in our hearts, he thought, but not yet in I oitr wills. It will come, however, it will come. And wlth~"it man’s destiny of spiritual evolution. “Guide me, oh, Lord. Show me the way to be Thy humble servant. Give me light that I may riilhUthe task to which I have been appointed. Help me to lead my people to follow in Thy footsteps and unite our hearts with Thy will so that we may know fellowship with Thee and the peace and love that, passeth all understanding.”- r Constance was awake as he took his place beside her again, but she only said, “Is it a wonderful night?” , “Wonderful. Wcsnderfui.r There was a little Silence. Presently Out of it she spoke again. “It was because he’s a teacher.” ■>»*wimy” '■■' ! “That's why she wa., sb cool to him, 1 feel sure. Why she went away earb. Because he’s a teacher. A public servant.” “Oh.” 'J He was paying no attention. Has mind was eiseUhere.

served in the House again from 1921 through 1625 and was minority kader in the latter two sessions. , | V 4 He served ten years in the State Senate, following his election to that bodjr in 1927. From hia many years of service and his natural understanding of legislative problem*, he became one of the most able legislators ever to serve in the state assembly. He was president pro tern of the Senate in 1937. ' A •' V With his legislative background he became the admirably qualified man to organize Indiana's first state welfare department. From 1937 to 1942, he served as director of this department and was supervisor of state Institutions. He rounded out his forty years of public service as president of the state welfare board, a post he resigned this, year because of failing health. A recognized leader in Indiana Democratic circles, his name was mentioned often for gubernatorial nomination. He did not aspire to any other stale office. As a member of the House and Senate, Gottschalk was deeply interested in legislation that affected bis home county and district. He never was found granting in this respect. His death closes an enviable career of government service and a life worthy of emulation. Rural Youth Will v Meet Here Friday The Adams county rural youth will meet Friday at 7:30 p.m. al the Zion Lutheran parish hall, corner of Monroe and 11th streets in Decatur. Slide* of previous rural youth events Will l 4 shown. Plans to a(tend the state rural youth day at Purdue UniveriHy January 3 will be made.

havior and decided against it Let her handle that herself. His next words, so completely remote from th* trend of her thoughts, startled her. - “I was thinking a bit of calling another Union Service. It isn’t right, you know, all our churches operating separately. Never uniting on anything at any time.” v She answered hesitatingly. “You tried that once when we first came here years ago. It wasn’t too successful, Barth, if you remember,” Y1 know, I know I" •‘There wasn’t motive enough- 1 believe you decided that weis the To most people it seemed —pointless.” e \ “I know!” he said again. *”Wnd then, “We were an Army of the 1 Lord and we did nothing.” * “But what could you do, Barth?’ 1 Presently he said, “Does it ever strike/you os remarkable that, out of the recent wax in which all suffered terribly but in which the Jews suffered most, they have emerged with the first Zionist state in two thousand years? They are the only displaced person* to have found a home of their own*” “I never thought of. that.” ~ “Well, think of it* then. It’s a good thing to think o* For I tell you the world is moving toward something tremendous. I feci iL And I feel—l know—that ,1 have a part to perform in that great movement. Only, what is it?” “You will be shown," she said gently. ’ And, across' the driveway, sprawled oh a bed without sheets in his Unsettled room over the porch that Ginny had said wai to be his, Donald Kent was sleepless, too. Anne had looked like a slender flame, he was thinking. Standing there against tehe door in her red suit with her dark eyes glowing /n heir lighted face, she had looked like a warm smd living flame. But she had been an icicle. It had shocked him. He hadufelt, at hia fibst close sight of her/ a strange rush of joy. \ A9 if the reason for existence, so laboriously ievolvoffi through the past few but seemingly .endless years, groping, had on an added meaning. Then she had repulsed him, without cause, and in his revulsion of feeling he had known a surgezbf hatred out of all fpropottion to his scant-knowledge of IM!F. - V' But that he would not tolerate. He would simply skip the girl. Not allow her to affect him in any way. There was, no reason why she should. Yes, he would slap the girl, and no loss. But he could not skip the Farion.
