How are you ami the oM snow ehovel making it? Indications are that it will be wise to stay on good terms the next several days. -dr— A It President Eisenhower has decided to go to bat for hie vicepresident, he will find it a big job and a tough om. Hie start in defending Mr. Nixon for his Ola TTOnrOTißti, CBiCTi-airrait attack in the 1954 campaign sounds rather foolish to the milHons who heard it by radio or saw him perform on television. People don’t forget when they are charged with everything On the calendar, including treason. —■4 o>— A couple of state senators in Indiana's legislature have discovered that children who are six years old aid hot old enough to attend school. They want the starting whistle not to be sounded until they are seven. We have heard hundreds of mothers trying to get them started younger but can't remember many of them hollering about them being too young at six. ’—4 — Governor Lauscbe of Ohio started his fifth term as Ohio's chief executive by a pound state message, telling the legislature that if they hold appropriations within the limit he has fixed as the maximum, »T0€,008,000. they can make it but If they don't they will force a airoak et rod ink that will not be to their credit. It's always encouraging to hear heads of government advising care in expenditures. O_—o— The hand booster fund seems to be growing quite slowly. Can’t you afford a small donation for the purpose of outfitting the band members in new and attractive uniforms? They tell us it has been seven years since they started to wear them and so they are not only put at date but they don't fit too good. Come en Boys, ehake a few dollars loose and send them to Hugh Andrews, principal 0 0 The large telephone companies are convinced ft seems that the people of America are a ‘.‘gabby” lot and that a fascinating array of new equipment is what they need. Just now one of the larger companies’ is advocating a twetone job that can be moved from room to room and just plugged in. The Bel! company is investing millions In dial centers so with a flip of the wrist you can talk wherever you care to call or almost so. We are learning to talk.

I have *been chosen by our local women’s club ,to be a dele-’ gate to a national convention. But 1 don’t have enough clothes for all the sessions and entertainment. What shall I do? A. Don't let this worry you. The same day clothes can be worn to every session and the same semi-1 evening dress every evening. All

The little town at Follansbee down in West Virginia had a steel mill that employed LOOO men and kept the town rolling along in good condition. It was lust right they thought until the owners announced the plant had been sold aad would be moved to Alabama. The town roue ap hi wrath and went out and found •ease aow buyers who would keep the big plant there aad by hustling, they did Just that. la other words they refused to take defeat lying down. 0 o We wonder why the recent state of the nation speech of president Eisenhower proved so much more popular for the general press than did very similar addresses made by Former Preslddnt Harry Tinman. He advocated about the same things, in fact Ma messages wore so sPuaßar that it now looks Übe the Democrats will support them almostOo a man while many of the old line Republicans will oppose them. Il's a tunny old world and makes many people wonder. —o Gov. Craig has become quite vociferous in his opposition to a federal civil service commission Charge that some Indiana state employes, whose department receives federal aid, have been etted for violation of the Hatch act. He screams “home rule*' and says he will not abide by the order of the federal authority We'd like to can Gov. Craig's attention to the fact that one of his boards is using similar tactics in Decatur by attempting to order our city to construct a sewage disposal ptent. Certainly the order to construct a sewage disposal plant here was a mistake, now that w» know the Governor’s attitude sh suA things as home rule and outside meddling. —0 0 It seems sensible that the board of county commissioners has arranged for the attendance officer and sheriff to share the same office la tW Court House. Mrs. Foley, county attendance officer has' a policing job among youngsters who fall to report to school regularly. Much ,of her time also is spent in her office where daily attendance records are compiled. Os necessity, the sheriff is out of his office a large portion of the time. The one deputy allowed for the county is assigned the job es guarding the jail plus considerable outside work. The new plan will mean that there will be some one in the sheriff’s office in the Court House almost all of the time during each working day.

nbceseary is to be well-groomed, have your hair well done and your nails well manicured and your clothes pressed aad tieat-looldag. Q. Should a stranger knock on the closed hall door of a business office before entering? A. This is not done. Business offices are public. One does not, hewevor, eater an office door marked “brivate" without an invitation. 0. When a -man has just given his ftahce on engagement ring, and they decide to have it insured, who pays for this? A. The man should taka care of this. $200,000 Fire Loss At Lawrenceburg LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. (INS) —Damage was estimated at $200,080 today in a fire that burned through the central stockroom of the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company's Tanners Creek plant at Lawrenceburg. No one was hurt when sparks from a welder’s torch ignited paper wrapping on transmission cable and spread through the stockroom of the main building at the installation, late Thursday. Firemen from Lawrenceburg and Greendale fought the names and confined the fire to the stockroom. but the extreme heat buckled the overhead steel structure and reinforced concrete floor.

The article stated that the stores would dose at 8 o'clock instead M k, so as not to interfere with the Wednesday night church services. All who read the church announcements and attend these services know that the merchants cannot keep those hours and still not interfere with the church services tn Decatur. In Saturday’s church announcements, seven churches list Wednesday night services beginning at 7 o’clock and four others beginning at 7:30 p.m. We do have tine merchandise in our stores and like to shop in our home town, but I think the merchants should respect the churches enough not to compete with their services. Sincerely, Betty Bollenbacher. Nashville — Lakes Impounded by dams of the Tennessee Valley Authority have an estimated total shoreline of approximately 10,058 linear miles.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR I CLUNG there and tried to stop shaking. In the distance 1 could still bear the droning plane. If it hadn’t been for that I would have known it had been a year. After a long time I Jet myself think again. The eagle hadn't screamed for a while ao he must have gone but I still couldn't risk moving into the open until dark. That wouldn’t be long. While 1 lay quiet my mind went back to white fur. White rabbits, white chickens. We use them tor training. An almoat-white setter puppyFlying that eagle at Charm might nave been just an accident. Flying it at me had not I was pretty sure that dog hadn’t been loose in the house when I arrived there. I was just as certain he hadn't opened the door aad got m by himself to tear up my jacket. Someone had used that white fur hood to tag me for a pieee of cold meat. Then I’d been steered to these rocks and set up for the kill I wondered if 1 had made satisfactory sport for eyes watching through glasses over on Third Hill. It was nearly dark now. Very carefully, keeping away front the cliff side of the bush, I pushed mysett through the tangled branches and crawled out on the rocks. It was cold with nothing more than a sweater on but, somehow, it seemed to help my thinking. The first thing 1 did when I got to the Jaguar was open the rear compartment and dig out my plastic raincoat. It felt stiff and cold as 1 put it on but there was nothing else in the car to wear. That and my hat I’d left on the seat. = Next, 1 found my flashlight and, unlocking my photographic equipment case, got out the flash bulb attachment aad hooked it to the . Leica. —it wa dark now and I was pretty sura I wasn't going to be kept waiting tong. 1 started up the path to the rocks, the Leica with its flash attachment swinging awkwardly from its neck strap at my front. Once out on the rocks, it was slow going—using my light only when 1 had to, nolding it close to my feet and for a second at a time. It wasn't easy to make myself go back out there again. When I came to a place about four feet wide 1 decided I'd better take it. I had no way of knowing how well 1 could see down over the sides but 1 couldn’t risjc using my light to find out now. 1 had room enough to huddle against a point of rock which broke the stiff wind cutting from the west. As I turned, I thought I saw what I was waiting for—a sweep/ ing Anger of light in the general direction of the gap. ~i crouched in the dark waiting

Bluffton Enforces Curfew Ordinance The 18-year and under children in Bluffton who aia on the street unacccfihpanied by parents, after 10 p.m will have to tell the officers why. They have announced that the old ordinance is to be enforced.

for it to cbmfe aghiff; 'lt did, and then another one—far off in the east. Air lane beacons. I tet the tightness out of my legs and breathed. As well aS I could remember, the drop on either side was about forty or fifty feet. Hovehng over my light to shield it, I set my camera range and shutter speed. Then I straightened and, making myself as comfortable as 1 could, settled down to wait. The beacon lights continued to sweep the clouds in nine-second intervals —one further down the ridge from me, the other to the east showing red flashes between its white beams. Very high above it there were the lights of a plane blinking red—white, red—w bite across the sky, losing themselves in cloud-while the sound of the engines med out into the east. I went back to watching my beacons. Sitting there in the dark, I couldn't say how long it was. When it did come it tightened me up like a guitar string suddenly pulled to the snapping point. To anyone else it might have been just a light moving intermittently down among the trees on the west side of the rocks. It was back toward the gap when I saw it first but each tune it reappeared it was a little closer. Someone coming to clean up what should be down at the foot of the rocks. If I were lying down there now, a. hand would come reaching for a pulse; into my pocket for my car keys. It there were still a pulse, there wouldn't be one long and tomorrow, maybe the next day, my Jaguar would be found in the Potomac River. It had happened once. It was happening again. The fight was tailing us time, moving left and right as it came, like someone doing a careful job of sweeping. Every few seconds the beam would leave the ground and reach up to the rocks as if it wanted to be sure it wasn’t leaving anything. It gave the procedure, an efficient touch, like something that was being done exactly right regardless of the time and trouble involved. • The light was close in at the base of the cliff, approaching a point below me when I heard it speak- 1 couldn't tell much about the> voice. It was saying things like "not yet” and “Just a little while now.” 1 was on my knees, waiting for the light to stab up at my perch. When, it came I was ready, hunched behind the protecting rock. By the time it was back on the ground I had straightened and, getting it as a.tiny point ot light in the Leica's view’finder, I pressed the shutter trigger. The flash bulb opened up the night with a white-hot glare and 1

was gone with a pattern of light and shadow burning on my retina. It had shown me a man’s sac not a giri'a. That seemed important. I hadn't been able to see much more than the sac face that wasn't quite anything I'd seen before. With luck, the camera had the rest. My sight was just leveling off to normal when there was the shallow crack ot a pistol and something sang oft the rock above my head, showering me with sand. It had taken his eyes about the same time as mine. I shrank a size smaller and waited. The second shot went over me—his lateral alignment was okay but he was counting on my standing up. Then came the stabbing finger ot light, and the voice. "Go get him, “ Luger.” That part, 1 hadn't counted on. His light was playing over the open stretch of rock to my left like a fire nose. By keeping myself on edge away from him 1 was able to crawl out on the ridge, getting enough protection from the irregular profile. i 1 could hear the Doberman running along the base of the rocks, his nails scratching as he tried to get started up the side. He didn't bark but each time 1 shifted positions 1 heard him shift with me and stop. Then always there'd be that reaching light. And I'd move again. 1 was at a place so open I could see the sharp ears and sleek body down below standing motionless with cocked head and muzzle lifted as the probing light passed over. .1 scrambled out of sight and my hat rolled oft and lay where the beam came up and picked it out. There was another sharp crack that snapped the hat off into the dark like a stroke from a bull whip. 1 hoped that would do it. Luger spoiled it by trotting along the base of the rocks to below my new location. It wasn't long before the light came too. I had been forced out beyond the laurel bush in a one-sided game of tag. It was the way this affair had been from the first, with always that reaching for me out of the dark. 1 could hear Luger clawing at the boulders and 1 knew sooner or later he'd make it 1 tried moving some of the rock fragments beside me till 1 found one I could handle. Then, getting to one knee, I cocked my arm with my flashlight tn my hand. As I pushed the catch on, 1 threw it out over the west edge like a grenade tn a spiralling arc ot light I raised up to watch it and saw it hit the ground and go out Then, grabbing the piece of rock I gave it all I could with both hands and sent it after the flashlight.
