At least Charlie Wilson's quip about bird dogs was in contrast to the old Proverb, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.’’ -—o A story from Dublin, Ireland, might apply to the congressional elections in this country. “All we ask is another two years to complete our program”. Wbat’s your program? "To stay tn for another * two years’’. ‘ 0With emphasis on the section devoted to youth programs and activities, Decatur’s new recreation building has been appropriately named, Decatur Youth & Community Center. In less than a year it should flourish with all kind of community and youth activities. —o Presumably there is no way to defeat Frank J. Lausche in an election when he runs for governor of Ohio, so the legislature added a provision to a constitutional amendment limiting a governor to two four-year terms. Ohioians will vote on the amendment in the November election and from all reports from that state, will also re-elect Gov. Lausche to his fifth two-year term. Lausche is a capable executive and has an excellent record as state administrator. He probably does not aspire to a sixth term. 0 o Marian Anderson, the noted singer has signed a Metropolitan Opera contract She will be the first Negro to sing at the Met since the theater was opened in 1883. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, commenting on her most recent accomplishment, pointed out the difference in her approach to the problems of her race and that of Paul Robeson who allowed his resentment against discrimination to drive him into aiding his nation’s enemies and has permitted himself to be used as a propaganda tool. Miss Anderson, on the other hand, has retained her dignity and has never hesitated to let the world know of tier love for her native land. 0 o A famous son of Indiana, Claude R.

mer Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Wickard will speak on a subject on which he is considered an authority . . . fanning. He owns and operates a farm in Carroll 1 county and has devoted his life to agriculture and projects that bring prosperity to farm areas. Following his service in the cabinet he was named administrator of the Rural Electrification Administration and expanded this service to include areas not formerly served by electric lines. He is a sincere and able gentleman and friends are invited to hear him at the Geneva high school. ——o O From Maine to Alaska, the trend is Democratic. Accepted as the best ‘’straw” vote prior to the November election, the results in Alaska show a decisive preference for the Democratic candidates. The Democrat delegate (non-voting member) to the United States congress rolled up nearly a three to-one margin over the Republican candidate, who asked for support for President Eisenhower. The Alaskan legislative body will be heavily Democratic, this year’s result being opposite to the GOP sweep in 1952, Will President Eisenhower be able to stop the Democratic march with his speeches, plus the frantic effort being made by his party leaders to stem the tide? It appears the people want a shift in tke congressional lineup. 0 0"I have a good deal of money and should like to leave a bequest for the town in my will. What would you suggest?” This question is occasionally asked lawyers ,by wealthy clients, and gets varying answers. In Templeton, Mass., the advice was given to endow a hotel. The endowment left in accordance with this suggestion provided for an excellent inn, which traveling salesmen, among . * <7others, went out of their way to patronize. Now another Massachusetts town. West Brookfield, has received >IOO.OOO for a public 11braiy. That is another worthwhile idea for a would-be testator. There are other possibilities . . . swimming pods, youth centers, chapels ... to name only a few. Public-spit ited citizens planning to help their communities might we’.l look into them.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN IT WAS after four o’clock when 1 reached the Hollis farm. The place was deserted. No cars were around, and the cows were bunched up at the pasture gate waiting to be milked, Tfieir plaintive bawling was somehow sad and lonely. Chickens were swarming in the fenced-off area of an apple orchard, and from the henhouse there came a raucous squawking. From somewhere nearby pigs were grunting and squealing. Two gray cats were bunched up on the back steps making pink-mouthed meows. As 1 approached, a stranger, they scampered away, stiff-tailed. Obviously, it was feeding time for a variety of creatures, and no one around to feed them. 1 looked about for the hired man, Rex Bishop, out 1 didn't see him, and 1 thought of our target-shoot-ing date. The back door was unlocked. 1 went through the quiet kitchen and the deserted house and up the wide stairway to my room. i 1 undressed to my shorts, went down the hall to the bathroom, shaved and took a bath. Back in the room 1 lay on the soft bed for a while, half dozing, and decided that l wasn’t adjusted to the fresh country air and the exercise. 1 could still near the faint bawling of the cattle, and 1 thought uneasily that it wouldn't be like Hollis to let his stock go 'unattended. Presently 1 heard a car come up the lane, and decided I’d bettei get dressed. j To me, the nour before dinner is the best tims of day; a bath, clean clothes, a drink or two, the 'pleasant feeling of relaxation. But now my mind would not let me relax. As 1 dressed, 1 thought of the day's events and 1 knew whatever 1 did about them, if 1 was going to do anything, would have to oe done tonight. Tomorrpw was Sunday, and 1 was returning to Cleveland, with a full Monday’s work facing me. 1 put on a clean white shirt, blue knit tie, the gray flannel suit I’d worn from Cleveland, pocketed keys, cigarets, wallet, handkerchief and silver, when somebody knocked on my door. 1 opened it and gazed at Sandy's white face. "Jim, Ralph’s worse. We stayed at the hospital all afternoon. Dr. Mazzini is with him now, and Mom Insisted upon coming home and getting supper tor all of us. | - - A——■ —

Eileen’s here, too, and, well—l guess there's nothing to do but wait." —■ "What does the doctor say?* “Not much, except that Ralph h& a high fever. ...” "How high?” * “A hundred and four, when we left. Dr. Mazzini didn’t tell us, but one of the nurses did. They put Ralph in an oxygen tent, and we can't see him." She began to cry quietly, ner hands over her face. 1 closed the door to my room, put my ann around her, and we walked along the hall to the stairway. She stopped, wiped her eyes. "Jim, I—l’m sorry. 1 thought it would be fun having you down here. With my family, and the hunting, but—’’ “Never igiind." I patted her cheek. "It couldn’t be helped." Something like anger shone in ner eyes. “You’d think that she'd have the courtesy to at least ask how Ralph is. She shot him, and she hasn't called, or been to the nospitai to ask about him." "Never mind," 1 said again, thinking that now was not the time to tell of my visit with Judy Kirkland. She said, "Dad told me you went into town for lunch. What did you do all afternoon?" "Oh, gawked at the people, took a walk in the woods." "It’s been boring, hasn’t it?* "Not at all,” 1 said, and I meant it. She took my hand. "Come on. It'll be a little while until supper. You make us a drink." Down tn the big living room I saw that she'd put out gin, ice and vermouth, and a fresh fire was burning in the fireplace. Eileen Fortune sat on a divan near the fire, and from the kitchen I heard Mrs. Hollis bustling about. Homer, 1 thought, was out In the bam nelping Rex Bishop with the evening chores. At least, the bawling of the cattle had stopped. Eileen Fortune turned and gave me a wan smile. She was pale, and she needed some lipstick on her small, thin lips. 1 smiled at her, said, “Hi," and moved to the table bearing the martini ingredients. Sandy said, "Make me one, Jim. I'll be right back." She went out to the kitchen, where I heard her talking to her mother. I made the drinks and carried one over to' Eileen before I remembered that she didn't drink. She

Backlog Os Polio Cases In Indiana Late Reports Swell Polio Case Totals INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—A backlog of polio cases flooded the state board of health and pushed today's report well ahead of the case total for the same period last year. Officials in the office of the communicable disease division reported receipt of 46 new cases for the week, ending Oct. 9 but added that 33 of the cases had their onset in sptember or before. Franklin county with one case was the only new county reporting and hiked the total counties infected to 74 and the total cases to 587 compared with 548 for the same period of 1953. Death totals were even at 23 for each period with Jay county reporting this week's death. Other single deaths have been reported from Clinton. Dekalb, Dubois, Laporte. Lawrence, Madison, Monroe, Montgomery, Noble, Steuben and Wells counties. St. Joseph, with a leading 67 case total; Marion with 53, and Lake with 50, each has had three deaths to date. Elkhart county, with 36 cases, has had two deaths. Other heavy caseload connties are Allen, 46,; Clark, 12; Clinton. 12; Howard, 14; Kosciusko, 11; LaPorte, 10; Madison. 12; Noble, 12; Porter, 10; Steuben, 23, and Vandeiburgh 15.

looked up at me with sad eyes and shook her head. “No, thank you,” she said softly. "1 forgot," 1 said. “Sorry.” “That's quite all right,” she said seriously. “1 don't smoke, either.** "Good for you," 1 said, trying to make my voice sincere. 1 sat down beside her and sipped from the glass Intended for her. She gazed solemnly at the fire, and I had an opportunity to size her up at close ra-ge. Her pale hair fell to her shoulders in soft curls. Her small face was delicate, but not quite in balance. As I’d noticed the evening before, her gray eyes were too far apart. Her chin was too sharp, her small nose almost too cutely tilted. She had left her vigil at the hospital tong enough to change from her hunting clothes to a oluish tweed suit and a frilly white blouse. Stubby, high-heeled blue suede pumps were on her small feet, and she smelled faintly of one of the more obvious brands of drug store perfume. But taken as a whole, Eileen Fortune was a girl any man could be proud of, and I guessed that she'd make a good wife for Ralph Hollis and they'd probably be very happy. And I gave her grudging credit for competing for Ralph, and apparently winning, against a girl like Judy Kirkland. But I liked Ralph, and I was a little dubious about his second choice of women. Eileen seemed pale beside Judy, and it seemed to me that she would have been quite happy with Earl Seltzman, and he, most certainly, would have cherished her dearly. I sighed and wondered once more why nothing ever worked out right; Earl loved Eileen. Eileen loved Ralph—anyhow, she was going to marry him, if he lived. Judy loved Ralph, too, or did love him. Dr. Mazzini was no doubt crazy about Judy. But what about Ralph! Did he still love Judy and was contenting himself with Eileen, because h< couldn’t forget or forgive what he saw in Judy’s house that afternoon? Ralph was the vortex, ths key figure. If he died, Earl Seltzman would be free to woo Eileen again. Judy could forget her jealousy and the haunted feeling of guilt and betrayal. Dr. Mazzini, with, Ralph gone, could have Judy to himself—if that was what he wanted. (To Be Cea/ttiuad/

UN Secretary Defends Act On China Note Circulated Note Os Communist China To UN Delegates UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (INS) —Secretary general Dag Hammarskjold instated today he was justified by “well established procedures" in circulating to United Nations delegates a Red China note despite.U. S. objection. Hammarskjold issued a statement defending his action after the U. S. disclosed that it sent back to him as unacceptable a Peiping communication signed by Red Chinese premier-foreign minister Chou En Lai. Chou charged the U. S. with “aggression" in supporting the Formosa regime and in keeping the U. S. 7th fleet patrolling off the Formosa straits. In refusing to accept the Chou note, the U. 8. took the stand that the Chinese Communist regime in Peiping has not been recognized and as such the American government wants "no truck" with it. UN sources pointed out that the Soviet delegation to UN has often sent back communications originating with the Chinese Nationalist delegation. The security council, in the meantime, held up action on another dispute — that involving the Suez Canal. Israel recently reviewed the charges against Egypt of interfering with Israeli shipping through the canal. Seizure of an Israeli ship off Sues September 28 led to the new complaint against Egypt. The security council voted unanimously to shelve consideration of an Israeli complaint over seizure of the vessel until the UN armistice commission in Palestine submits a complete and impartial report on the incident, Egyptian authorities charged that the vessel, the Bat Galim, fired without provocation on Egyptian fishing boats near the Port of Suez. The tanker and its crew' were taken into custody pending
