Now comes the news that state officials may have to ask for new taxes in the 1955 general assembly to absorb the of a huge financial balance, which has been slowly dwindling away during the Craig administration. Just what attitude the people will have toward paying out more money in taxes remains to be seen. o 0 Indiana motion picture theater operators are meeting in Indianapolis today in annual convention. The number one topic for discussion is a method to bring the thousands of former movie fans back to the movie houses from their television _sets. Our guess is that with the talent available in the state movie organization, those men who have provided the public with entertainment for years will come up with a good answer to the problem. 0 0 King Football has started to hang up his togs for winter. College football schedules throughout the country are closing and in three more weeks almost all games will have been played with the exception of the half dozen New 1 Years day bowl games. It’s always an interesting time of year when college students and alumni gather on Saturday afternoons to witness the contests, while thousands of other fans > await the final outcome. Certainly, It’s a greater way of life than waiting to hear the outcome of a fierce battle, between nations. 0 o A sickening tragedy marred the .week-end in Decatur. Florenz “Tommy” Leonard, in an attempt to save his business from the ravages of fire was fatally burned. Leonard, a young business man, had worked hard to build up an automobile body repair business and paint shop. He had once escaped the flames long enough to sound a fire alarm, but had gone back into the building, apparently in an effort to recover some property. Several explosions spread the flames. Decatur firemen soon had the fire under control, but Leonard was dead when his body was removed. Had he awaited the firemen, instead of rushing into building, he would be

CHAPTER FIFTEEN A WEEK had gone by since the party. Cynthia had not seen Norman, as he was still away, but practically every day brought her some reminder that he had been in earnest when he said he meant to “court" her. Laughingly he had said that that might be an outdated word, but It was what he intended to do. The apartment was kept filled with flowers that arrived with his card, sometimes with a silly jingle, as when the florist’s box contained a small bunch of early spring violets. From Washington, and later New York, he bombarded her with postcards, usually ending them avith the time-worn, Wish you were ere. “I told you he was unpredictle,” Roz said, a bit wistfully, be surprised if you receive A nk elephant Lucky you, Cyn!" I [ynthia did not feel lucky. She M embarrassed. There simply W no sense in Norman's being so eful. Not when there was Walt, f anything, Walt had seemed i re absorbed in his work than aial since the party. She did [Meh him, now and then, looking w her tn a peculiar manner, as y ough he still was trying to diag>se her case. And he had brought p the subject of her vacation gain, adding that he had told t’liss Whiting to start substituting he first of themonth in Cynthia's 1 -lace. t The day when she wore the viocts to the clinic Walt was even nore stuffy than usual As soon 'is he noticed them, he said, "Viorels, eh? Hum. They're very Bice. 1 presume your friend—l mean hat fellow Brandt—sent them. Do * ou really think you ought to wear ’3iem while you're working, Cynikla?" ut Cynthia had Intended taking . im off and keeping them in the ~ until clinic hours were luxt. But she had been so anj r jed with the doctor that she had , “I can’t see anything objecmble in a little bunch of vio- ». They won’t throw off any * ms. They might even cheer up ->me of the children. Yes, Dr. ellars, 1 have every intention of gvcarmg them." "As you like," the young doctor lad returned curtly. And that had ocen when he had brought up the Subject of her vacation again and the fAct that he had definitely engaged Miss Whiting, starting as of the first oi the week.

Does modern society require that a man merely touch the brim of his hat when speaking to a woman? A.

“Oh, I've made all my vacation plans!" Cynthia had assured him airily. Since he was so anxious to get rid of her, she would pretend that this was so. As a matter of tact, it was not a convenient time for her to go home at alt Her mother had written that she and Cynthia’s father had planned a long-postponed motor trip. They were going to drive out West, stopping en route to visit various members of the family whom they had not seen in years; they might even go as far as California Cynthia's grandmother was going to stay with near-by relatives; the big farmhouse would be closed. Naturally cynthla had no intention of spoiling all these long-an-ticipated plans with any unexpected ones of her own. So she had not written home that she might be forced to take a vacation. “I assume you're going home?" Walt had said. “Your assumption is incorrect,” his assistant nurse had replied with alacrity. She had not offered any explanation. She had merely added, ‘T nave other plans." “Indeed.” That scowl had darkened Dr. Sellars' handsome face. He had wanted to inquire about these plans, but he had not quite had the nerve. For he had been afraid that the answer might not please him. If Cynthia was not going away, she must be staying here because of Norman Brandt. Which would mean that all of his well-laid plans, like those of other mice and men, would go astray. As a matter of fact, Cynthia had no plans. She might go somewhere, although it could not be much tun to go alone. Or she might just stay here and rest. Dr. Sellars informed her on Friday that Miss Whiting had offered to come in for a while Saturday morning so that Cynthia could show her what her duties would be. “That Is, if you don’t mind,” M had added. "I won't be coming in tomorrow." So this was the way he was going to say goodby. Have a marvelous vacation, and I—or at least the clinic—will miss you. ”1 don’t mind in the least,” Cynthia said coolly. There were no regular clinic hours on Saturdays, so sometimes neither of them came In. During summer, the small office force, and other help, did not work on Saturdays, cither. The office force consisted of a girl who did typing and kept books, and j

More Corn Borers Revealed In Area The annual stale survey by the state agricultural extension service to determine the corn bbrer winter population shows an increase of corn borers in this area, county agent L. E. Arehbold said today. Last year infestation was estimated at 36 per cent for this area, while this year it will run 51 per cent, according to the survey. There will *be approximately 92 corn borere per 100 plants. This survey covens the area north of highway 234, south of highway 30, and east of U. 8. highway 31. Corn borer population in this area increased generally because of the unseasonably warm fall with abundant rain. Some fields in Allen county, for example, ran as high as 308 corn borers in 100 plants. Heaviest infestation is reported north west, with the infestation generally decreasing in the east and south. — u .20 Years Ago Today • - -•—■ 0 November 16— The defense in the Insult trial in Chicago closes as Samuel Insull leaves the stand.

the "other help" was an aged Negro who performed odd Jobs and Kept the place fairly tidy. Walt did not know how much cleaning up, even to scrubbing on hands and knees and. repainting, Cynthia had squeezed in during odd moments and off houra When she thought of how she had nelped build this clinic, putting her whole heart and soul into it, Cynthia was tn or e annoyed with Dr. Sellars than ever. She ought to walk out on him and never come back. Yet she Knew she would be counting the days, almost the hours, until she could. Wiien he took his departure that Friday e v e n i n g, Or. SellaTs reminded her once again that she need not be in any hurry to report back tor duty. “I’m sure we shall get along all right, ’’ he said. "Since 'you aren't going away, U anything comes up that Miss Whiting or 1 need to consult you about, we can get in touch with you.” In one way, and not for the reason he had Just stated, Dr. Sellars was glad Cynthia was not going to be away. He Could at least phone her now and then, keep track ol what was going on. He could even find some excuse to drop by to see her for a few minutes. "Oh, I didn’t say I wasn't going Cynthia returned. “1 said 1 Wasn’t going home. However, 1 expect I'll be available off and on, though 1 doubt if anything so important will develop that I’ll be needed for consultation. In fact,'* she smiled sweetly, “I’m sure Miss Whiting will more than fill my place. So 1 won't be in any hurry to get back.’’ "Good," Dr. Sellars said. But his voice did not carry its usual firm impact. From the way she talked, his assistant nurse might be going to stay away several months instead of a few weeks. And where in the dickens could she be planning to go, off and on? Well, he would continue the course he had begun. He would make it his busmess, by devious means, to find out Thank goodness that Brandt fellow had been out of town al) week. Walt wished he would stay in New York or Washington, or wherever he was. Dr. Sellars might have been surprised had he known that no sooner had he left the clinic than the person Ln question put in an appearance. (To Be CoeUuiuedj dx

Three Join Fight For House Speaker Fight For Speaker Os Indiana House INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —With the Republican caucus to determine who will be house speaker of the 1955 general assembly "only eight days off, at o least three men,are seeking the powerful post. The 1953 speaker, Rep. James I). Allen, Salem Republican, who had teetered on the fence, jumped in. joining W. O. Hughes, of Fort Wayne, the' 1951 speaker, and George S. Diener, Indianapolis. Diener had been rumored the fair-haired boy of the Craig alministration, and at least has the pledged support of the I'l th district, which controls 11 votes. But apparently Allen, a supporter of Gov. George N. Craig in the previous legislature, has decided that “developments" favor his selection for a return to the speakership in 1955. The Salem attorney had said earlier that he was undecided about running “but I might, depending on developments.” Republican state chairman Alvin C. Cast has set Nov. 24 as date for the house GOP caucus to choose the speaker and other majority officers.
