' -r ■ —o —a— The Indiana general assembly, 1965 edition, got underway Thursday at Indianapolis, with indications that harmony wouldn’t prevail too long. Most of the controversy is centered in control ; of the Republican party. The people hope that lhe legislators will stop wrangling long enough to take care of the state's business. 0 0 An old friend, Fred Pickett, former clerk of the supreme court and an anti-McNutt Democrat back in the days when such was unpopular, died at Richmond this week. Pickett, even though battling an unpopular course remained trite to his political friends throughout his career. He died suddenly of a heart attack after serving Richmond for a good many years as postmaster.

►_ Pneumonia Can Be Cured, ► But Not a Simple Cold

ly NEMAN N. BUNDESEN, MJ. PATIENT: -I’ve got a told, doctor. Can you eura it?” I Doctor: “No. But come back again when you get pneumonia. X can cure that.** Medlccd Hmmmmmm Nov I’m sure no doctor ever offend thia kind of advice, but thia “joke," which most of you have undoubtedly heard, does Illustrate a medical phenomenon: We can’t cure colds, but In most cases we can cure pneumonia. I don’t mean to Imply that pneumonia is a joking matter. It's a serious Illness. Sometimes ft’s fatal, but fortunately not as frequently as it once was. Lobar pneumonia, for example, took the life of every fourth person it attacked only a generation ago. Today modem medicines have cut that toll to leas than one death in every 20 cases. Attacks Lungs Lobar pneumonia to a disease : which attacks the lungs. It to caused by bacteria and usually hits In late Winter or early ( Spring. It strikes the young, strong and healthy persons as ( well as the axed. In children, it strikes both sexes ( with equal vigor. But 70 per cent j of the adult victims are men. | Negroes seem to be especially sue- . ceptible. ' The disease almost always follows a cold. That’s an Important 1 thing to remember. Avoiding Disaster You’re courting pneumonia if i you’ve got a cold and work too 1 hard, stay out late at night, bo- I come chilled or are looked by a i cold rain. b

The PmMont’s state of the union message Thursday to the opening joint-session of Congress was just about as anticipated. How long the Democrat-Republi-can harmony will last is problematical. Vice-President Nixon has abstained for several weeks now of accusing all Democrats of being Communists, but the things he said during the recent political campaign haven’t been completely forgotten. —o 0 The Citisens Telephone Co. and the Daily Democrat will join efforts in bringing Adams county basketball fans the scores of all county tourney games next weekend as quickly as the games are completed. For a score of all . events fans are asked to eell telephone number 9-9171. This number operates a tape recorder in the Dally Democrat office and scores will be available day and night during the tourney. y Adams Central school will act as host next week-end to the annual Adams county basketball tournament. The teams in Adams county are evenly matched and the 1955 tournament should be the greatest one ever held. The Adams Central gymnasium, with its vast parking space and other fine facilities is an ideal place to accommodate the big . eitowds. Competition. If accompanied with sportsmanship, is a great instructor. May the best team win! ■ 0 0 The recent grand jury, after a thorough examination of the Adams county jail, made numerous recommendations for improvementd'wt that building, to the county board of commissioners. Some of the suggestions, such as painting, already are being cafried out. Sheriff Merle Aftolder is as anxious to be the best sheriff Adams county ever had as the people are to have just that la their now law enforcement head. With the proper improvements at the county jail to insure against escapes and tires. the pledge .of being a good officer will be much easier to fulfill. The county board is carrying out the will of the people when the jail is made sate and break-proof.

If you notice a severe chill, a sharp pain in your chest, a hacking cough and have difficulty breathing, have a flushed face and a fever, you’d better call your doctor right away. Go to bed Immediately. Your room must be ventilated, but not cold. The person caring for you must keep you quiet and comfortable. You will have to change your position in bed often. But have your nurse move you. You must conserve all your strength. Your nurse should wear an apron which covers her dress completely. She must wash her hands thoroughly each time she touches you or comes near you. You can’t have any visitors. You’ll have to drink a tot of fluids, about throe to five pints each day. You can have fruit juices with water, coffee or tea or other sweetened drinks. Keep Up Morale One more important thing: Keep up your spirits and maintain a determination to get well. A physician armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs can probably euro yet quickly if you summon him tn time. But can him Immediately. Don’t wait until tomorrow. That may be too late. QUESTION AND ANSWIB B. L. W.: What Would cause numbness in the hands? Answer: The numbness in the hands may be due to a number of different conditions: first of all, poor circulation, disturbance In the blood vessels In the hands, as in Raynaud’s disease, or disturbance in the nerves supplying the sfiected p&ila m-*.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN THE REVEREND Gairdner went through the motions of showing his teeth but it was a bit too stiff. As I stepped to the side of his car 1 saw him glance at the club in my hand. I tried to lean on it like a walking stick but it wouldn’t reach the ground and I ended up bolding ft in the crook of my arm like a British colonel’s baton. “Mr. Gratton, we meet again.** "You’ve been talking to Anson Metcalf, I suppose.** “I wouldn’t say Tve been talking to him.** “Dana, then." "I haven’t laid eyes on her." He pinned me with his glare as if he dared me to question it. I let It ride and listened to his breath hissing through his nostrils. 1 don’t deny having seen Anson.” he said, “but if you can in any way construe our encounter as conversational, you're far from accurate and I'd advise you to keep away from him.” “Just why?” “He’s in one of his less civilized moods, if be was ever civilized. 1 wouldn’t answer for what he or that black monster of his might do to you, a stranger.” “What did he do to you?” „ "Anson ordered me off the place —permanently. Me," he jerked his head back and whipped his voice into a righteous quaver, "an old friend, an intimate of the family. A confidant of his mother Belle before he was conceived and brought forth into this world.” It was a good Job that would have carried very nicely from the pulpit of St. Andrews. Out here, it rang a little flat “Do you mind, Mr. Gairdner, telling me what you wanted to see Anson about. Enough to drive up here to his house ?" “to the Am place, I didn't get so far as the house. 1 encountered Anson in this lane, headed this direction with that dog. Secondly, 1 imagine the circumstances that impelled my coming up are the same as those that brought you." “Then you think there’s a connection between Anson and Harrises Purcell's disappearance," I said. "I don't care to put it quite that way.” Yoke Gairdner's voice was steadier now but his gaze was fixed behind me. “But Harrison was my friend. Greater love hath no man—- He lot it coast. “Did you get to make that point? With Anson I mean?” “I got to make no point, sir. Young Anson is tn no mood tor reasoning. I tell you, the man is dangerous." He leaned to the opposite side and opened the door. “Come around and get tn. Let rnc carry you back to town." “Thanks, my car's out at the entrance. And, anyway, I'm going mto see young Anson, my self." I

, “It would be a great mistake, Mr. Gratton. You must believe me.” He pressed the starter. “Come. I'll drive you to your car." “No thanks, I’ll walk back — after I’m through. Tell me one thing, Mr. Gairdner. What's the name of their colored man on the place? The hired hand.” He examined me hostilely. “They have no hired man, so far as 1 am aware." He seemed a little bothered that there was anything he wasn’t sure of. “Os course not. There's been no menial of any description up here for years—except old Cricket. I think you can take my word for that. Is it important?” - "No. 1 just wanted your opinion.” I stepped back to wait for him to drive off. "You’re not coming with me?" he demanded. “Na I'm not cooling with you.” “The stupidity of man who heareth not the warning.” He made a snorting sound and let his clutch in. It sent the car forward with a groaning jerk that threw a wake of muddy water onto my shoes. As 1 walked on in the direction of the house, 1 examined the fresh tracks from Galrdner’s tires. They were definitely not a diamond pattern. When I came to the old orchard it was bleak and empty. 1 hadn’t realized how much I’d been hoping she'd be there. Indifference seems to have the effect on memory of a good coated lens, keeping the picture clear and sharp. I could see Cricket, or the farmer husking corn, or the clerk at the inn as distinctly as if they were beside me. But with Dana it was different. 1 thought 1 nad memorized the cheekbones, her eyes, the mouth, the slim, tall figure. Now that 1 was about to see her something had gone wrong with the focus—none of tt would come together. 1 wondered, the way you wonder about a girl you haven't seen tor a long time, if 1 was going to be disappointed. A lot of them are so real looking when you've been away and get close to them again. I was still carrying the club but I had wandered into the yard as if 1 had never heard of Dobermans. Nothing had ground my leg up as yet so if he was around he hadn't seen me. 1 walked past the boxwood with Its rustling blue-green mass of foliage to the old door under the fanlight. 1 lifted the knocker, let it drop and listened to the wind grieving through the trees. The leaves seemed to have thinned since yesterday.

At the risk of bringing the dog around the house. 1 used the knocker again, longer and louder. When the door opened, tt was Cricket—her old eyes fixed beyond inc like two milky opala "1 was here yesterday, Cricket.

Is Miss Dana home?” “No, suh. She ain’t." “Would you mind If I waited ?*• I thought the door started to close and I added—"inside? Mr. Metcalfs dog—’’ There was a pause, then she moved back, pulling the door wider. "Dat Luger, don' mess with him.” It wasn’t cordial —not even advice. More like a warning to a tramp. 1 tossed my piece of branch away and stepped past her. She closed tne door behind me. She led me into a tow-ceilinged room done m some gloomy panelling life cherry. There was a feeble fire that tell apart when she poked it. She bent painfully toward the wood basket “Here, let me do that” I wasn’t suie she liked it, but I laid a couple ot heavy pieces on the andirons. "Must keep sohieone busy cutting all Uns wood,” I said. "We gets the wood hauled in ready-cut” "1 suppose you have enough work to keep the outside man busy without sawing wood.” 1 watched the shriveled face. If there Was any change 1 didn't see Ik - 'Time was when there was plenty yard servants on the place. They’s all so trashy Mister Anson say ne rather not be pestered.” 1 "Don't you ever have a hired man come work by the day?” I tried to sound mildly interested. She stiffened. "If Mister Anson don’t have no man,” she said loyally, "it because he don’t want none.” She moved toward the door and hesitated. I got the feeling she wanted to walk out on me but wasn’t sure I could be trusted. “Is Mr. Anson home?” 1 asked. “No, he must gone off after Miss Dana.” 1 wondered if Yoke Gairdner had really seen Anson or, ts he had. why he was so anxious for me to keep away from hun. L “Where is.Mias Dana?” 1 could see her going through some kind of personal agony. It was barely possible to make out what she was saying and I honestly don’t believe that for her, at this moment, 1 was there. “My little girl, she don’t eat nor sleep right. 1 hear her prowlin' round the house at night.” “You think she’s ill?” I asked softly. “Won’t take no medicine.” The blind old face broke up and she worried the apron with her tianda "All I’se good tor is take care my folks. When 1 cain’t do nuthin’ tor them it hurt in here.” She pressed a fist against the bony chest and went out the door. 1 could hear her mumbling and a floor board creaked as she scuffled along the hall(To Bo Continued J v&'i

To Discuss Hatch Act Violations U. S. Official To Visit Gov. Craig INDIANAPOLIS (IN8) — Hatch act violations charged against four state conservation department officials will be discussed when U. S. civil service commissioner George M. Moore visits Governor George N. Craig next weke. The civil service commission had ordered Governor Craig to reply by Jan. 6 to charges that the four men were pressuring department workers to contribute to Republican campaign funds. But the Governor ignored the federal agency's demand. The commission acted on the basis of the fact that the federal government contributed $67,000 a year to the $915,000 annual forestry budget of the conservation department. In announcing his visit to Indianapolis, Moore sounded a conciliatory note, saying: "You know, Hatch act violations are no reflection on anybody's character and don't mean anybody is going to jail. We don't act unless we get complaints. -"l’m going to Cincinnati on some committee business and plan to go on up to Indianapolis and look into the Hatch act cases there. I have a lot of admiration for Governor Craig and I hope to stop in and shake hands with him while I am there." 0 , — Q Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE (r~ 5 Q. What rules apply to a bride’s displaying her wedding gifts? A. Sometimes the gifts are shown only to the relatives and close friends. It is quite all right, however, to let all the guests at the reception view the gifts, a special room being set aside for displaying them. Q. Do the President of the United States, a Representative to Congress, or a Senator retain any title after they go out of office? A. The only one who retains his title for life is a Senator. The other two are addressed as "Mister.” Is ft proper to sign a letter “Your humble servant”? A. This is an expression that was employed extensively years ago, but it is obsolete now and should be avoided

CHAPTER NINETEEN I STUDIED a small painting in a gold frame over the fireplace. It was a blonde young woman in riding clothes, done Ln a hard, primitive style bnt it had a certain charm. TT O'bVWuSly ' Wasn't DkfiS —this girl didn't have Dana's dreamy, pale hazel eyes. These eyes were blue and they weren't hidden by long lashes. Then, too, this face wasn’t that odd combination like Dana’s —like a broad face corrected to finer features. This girl was attractive but in an entirely different manner, at least, if the artist had caught her character. There was an incongruous note, a cameo brooch in her stock which he had handled with a good bit of detail as if it had been a personal tag or favorite possession. Below the painting, lying on the mantel, was a recent Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue looking oddly as if it belonged. The flames were licking up around the dry wood now. After my walk in the cold air, the heat felt good. I turned my back to the fireplace and looked around me. The room might have been made into something nice but it would take a lot of changing. There was a pair of green-shaded student lamps with the kind of chimneys they use for oIL There were no electric fixtures to be seen. 1 don't know what gave the room its overloaded air unless it was the books. Or the framed photographs that seemed to be everywhere. All ot them were ot a woman with light hair and rather striking eyes, the woman in the painting over the mantel. Her face was -pretty enough when you could lose sight of the out-of-date hairdo. The thing that interested me was the boy who was in almost every picture. In the earlier shots, dated by the clothes, he was just a<*UtUe boy holding her hand. One ot them was taken with a squarish looking old man in a Panama hat and 1 wondered if he was the grandfather Anson. As the woman's fashions changed, the boy showed first as a thin dark-eyed child all knees and wrists, coming along the years to a bony adolescent with an aquihne nose and dark mystic eyes under an uncombed mass ot black hair, long .over the ears and baqj< ot the neck. In the picture where he was the oldest, he had one arm around the woman's shoulder and looked like something that hadn’t quite feathered out. would be Young Anson and his mother Belle.v. 1 wondered if Anson Metcalf really was out ot the house. If he was, was it because 1 was here? He had no way ot knowing 1 was comihg this afternoon. Up to now he'd been the one who had done the probing, searching me but till he'd identified me. Maybe fie had gone as tar as tie intended to go with tt and trom here on 1 was only sticking my neck out. From the impression 1 had got of Anson, that seemed like purely wishful thinking. Here, in this room, surrounded by hie books and ins pictures 1 had no reason, so far,

New Income Tax Law, — How It Affects Payer

(Editor's note: This is the sixth article in a series explaining provisions of the new tax law passed by the last congress. Under this law you have fro mnow until April 15 to square up with the federal government.) By FELIX COTTEN * WASHINGTON (INS) — If you had retirement income in 1954, the new tax law for the first time allows you a standard tax credit in computing your income tax. But, as lu some other cases, the privilege is surrounded with many restrictions. The general rule Is that you are allowed a tax credit amounting to 20 per cent of specified retirement income. That is the bottom bracket tax rate. But the amount of recognized retirement income on which you can take this credit is limited tg $1,200 a year. Thus, your maximum retirement income credit is 20 per cent of $1,200, or $240. However, if your wife, or husband, as the case may be, also qualifies for the retirement income credit, the same privilege is extended. Therefore, a husband and wife in a joint return or in separate returns can take a maximum retirement tax credit of twice $240, or S4BO. A great deal depends on your age. Here are the rules on this point: If you did not reach 65 by the end of 1954, the retirement income is limited to pensions or annuities received under a public retirement program. Such a program Is defined by the law as a pension, annuity, retirement or similar fund set up by the federal gdvernment, or by a state, territorial or local government. It does not include such -funds established for mem bers of the armed forces. If you reached 65 before the end of the year, you are allowed more leeway in computing retirement income. You can include interest, rents and taxable dividends as well as pensions and annuities. Including payments from military funds. However, after you have figured up your recognized retirement income you have to deduct from it all payments received under the social security old age and survivors' insurance program, the railroad retirement laws or from tax-exempt pension and annuity

to change my notion ot him. 1 moved over to the hall door and listened. 1 think Cricket was doing something to the kitchen stove, maybe poking out some ashes. There was no other sound 'but the wind worrying the leaves in the trees beyond the fanlight 1 crossed to the stairs and started up. When I got to the top there was a landing with doors on right and left A Uiird door, facing the head of the stairs, led to the upper rear porch for 1 could see through small panes set in the upper half. 1 listened again but the upstairs had that stale stillness of old houses whose windows are seldom raised. Not even the rustling of the leaves reached here. 1 could see a hallway leading forward with the stair well to the left and a window at the front. 1 turned and tried the door beside me on the right of the landing. It opened on a room, dark and musty smelling. At first 1 thought, from the drawn blinds, that someone must be sleeping there. Then I saw the bed, bare of mattress and bedclothes—the general disorder. Just a collecting place for old plunder. 1 pulled the door to, quietly. The opposite door was locked, i- 1 moved along the hall toward the front of the house. There were two more doors, one on either side, and a closed staircase over the stair well that would go to the attic. The door on my right was ajar. I waited to see U there was any sound behind it but it might as well have been to a mausoleum. When 1, pushed it open and stepped in 1 knew 1 was standing in Anson Metcalf’s room. There was a tall four-poster bed facing me, and a fireplace that would be above the Library fireplace downstairs. The fire had burned out but there was that red glow beneath gray ash, like a cigaret that needs an ash tray. The wails were a dark blue-gray tn some sort of water paint over peeltrig plaster, and there were no curtains at the windows. What came at you, after you got the layout ot the place, were his peering, ratty-iooking hawks. They were everywhere—etaring trom the top ot the cheat of drawers, trom the mantelpiece, from the floor tn the corners ot the room. I’ve never been able to understand a mind that wanted to surround itself with stuffed remains ot birds and game. 1 suppose, having slaughtered them, some people feel so nappy about tt they want to keep some evidence around to gloat over. But 1 somehow knew this was different. These weren't hawks that he had killed. These hawks had done nis killing for him. Each one bad had a name, comparable to Butcher Boy; each one had been fondled, trained, made to go out on command and slay. These were his little pals and; now that they were dead, he had Uieni all around him, where he slept, tike a bunch of mummies tn a museum. There was * tow rtotfwm beside Anson’s bed with a padded tick.

plans. You do .not have to deduct amounts which are excluded from income because they represent a return of capital to yon. Also not to be deducted are payments under workmen's compensation laws or other tax-exempt compensation for injury or. sickness. Moreover, if you did not reach 75 in 1954, you have to deduct from your retirement income AU earnings for personal services over S9OO during the year. If you were engaged in a trade or business in which both capital investment and services produced income, a portion of the net Income of the business would be considered as earnings for personal services. After you figure your retirement tax credit, you find, that it is limited by the total amounfof your tax, less any tax credit for dividends received by you and certain ether items, like a credit for foreign taxes paid. In no case, can you get a refund as a result of a retirement income credit The retirement credit is not allowed non-resident aliens or persons who choose to use the punch card form 1040A in filing their returns. You would have to use the short or long form 1040 if you want a retirement income credit Schedule K on the last page of the return is for computing the credit. To be eligible for the credit you must have earned more than S6OO per year In each of 10 yean during your lifetime. These yean need not be consecutive. if you are a widower or widow whose spouse received earned income, you can use it to qualify. (Next: Your children, and taxes.) Cecil Bollenbacher Manages Elevator Cecil Bollenbacher, of route one, Berne, will manage the new Adams county Farm Bureau Co-op elevator in Geneva, which was opened January 3. The elevator was formerly Stahly Feed and Coal. Miss Sharon Neal, daughter of county treasurer and Mrs. Waldo Neal, of Geneva, has been employed as bookkeeper.

like the things dogs sleep osu Luger's couch. 1 couldn't see much else in the room for thinking of the hawks. 1 imagined 1 could smell them. Aa 1 turned to go t noticed a door to the left of the fireplace. " 1 remembered the locked room at the rear of the hall Unless there was a closet or a dressing room between, this should lead to that same room. 1 walked over and twisted the knob. It came open with no effort. 1 guess 1 had, in the back of my mind, been thinking all this time about Dana and where she might be. The moment 1 opened the door 1 felt that this was her room. The crisp starched curtains at the windows at my left, the quilt on the bed between them, the color of the rag rugs on the broad floor boards. It was all so definitely a gtrl's room, intimate and frilly. I would have said, almost too frilly. It took me a moment to realize that it was empty. I don't suppose It is considered proper to go poking around a gtrl's bedroom, with or without the indy present, but there was something annoying about Dana's room opening off Anson's the way it did—and that nail door being Iqcked. 1 walked over to ute if I had been mistaken. 1 hadn’t. J There were well rubbed riding boots standing at one aide of the hearth and I saw that the unfit fire was newly laid. Dana hadn’t mentioned riding but bar crop was lying on ths mantel beneath—and it seemed an odd place to keep them—a bridle and curb bit hanging on -the chimney wan. 1 examined tbs hosts again. Ttiey looked rather too small for a girt as tall as Dana. Quits pousibly she tiad exceptionally small feet, BULL, tt began to seem too Important. 1 stopped trying to pretend. After all, if I had any decent principles 1 wouldn’t have ooms in here. 1 walked around to the tar side of the bed. There were two narrow doors with wrought-iron hinges, flanking a marble-topped dresser. I opened the one on ths left The window beside me gave enough Light to see the things hanging on the rack inside. Ihey didn't Look like the kind of clothes Dana had worn yestertey. I closed the closet door end looked at the dresser. It had a few toilet things spread out on top. There was a pressed glass box that was transparent I carefully lifted ths lid and took out what was inside, turning to the window. The cameo head was delicate against the pink ground, a beautiful piece of carving and it would have been outstanding anywhere, even if i hadn't seen tt in the goldframed portrait tn the library. I think there is some story about cameos taking on a warmth of color when worn against the body ot a woman. The one tn my hand was as pale and cold as marble. This room belonged to Anson's mother, RHJft.' "— B—(To St Ctmliwotl)
