Mayor John Doan has proclaimed March 25 as World Day of Prayer in Decatur. This community will , join other communities all over the world in observance of this day. It is sponsored by the Churchwomen of the community and an appropriate service will be announced for the day here. A single day, set aside for prayer, is not enough. It is, however, a shining example of what we should do every day to receive the Divine Guidance which we all want so badly for our nation, for the world and for ourselves. The day, sponsored by the women, should be joined by all God-loving people and it should receive universal support —0- - ft — . Rev. Schwefin:— Never afraid to proclaim the greatness of God, Rev. Walter G. Schwehn lived a full Christian life. While his countless friends feel the present hollowness and lonllnesa which always comes when a faithful friend and advisor is taken by death, his words and deeds will be remembered forever, not only by those of his Lutheran following but by everyone with whom he has had contact Rev. Schwehn, born and educated in Fort Wayne, spent a life in the southern states, where he was active in preaching to and teaching the negroes. Then for six years he was at the Mother Church of the Missouri Synod at Philadelphia and after that for twenty-six years tn Hannibal, Mo. He returned closer to his native home four and a half years ago when he accepted the pastorate at St. Johns, between Decatur and Fort Wayne. While many of his ( congregation and also many of the citizens of Fort Wayne and I ■1 they became closer to him and fonder of him as they watched him live his dally Christian life. He will be sorely missed by his Churchmen, his Family and his host of friends who will quote and be guided by his neighborly blessings which he so gracefully gave to all people. The Daily Democrat Jpins the many others in a feeling that his exact place in our neighborhood will not soon be . filled.

Fred had been called out at five a m., and it was a little after nine when be burned into the courtroom. He looked about, assured himself that Katie and Ludmilla were not there and nodded with satisfaction as he took the chair pointed out to him. The rest of the crowd didn't matter — Mirandy, Murphy- -but Katie and bis mother would be hurt by each charge made or suggested against Fred. He was glad they were not present. Poor little Nienaber sat, whitefaced, beside Ed Byrd. Things got under way. Ed Byrd put on bis glasses and made a speech coveHng the charge against Dr. Beier. Then he took off his glasses and read the charge, which repeated the subject of bis speech. The audience whispered and gasped, and peered over shoulders, to look at the doctor who was so familiar to all ot them. A lawyer stood beside him. Richard Nienaber, seated in the first row at chairs, valiantly endeavored to listen. His eyes lit up at Fred’s name, his whole person shrank into his clothing when his own was said. Fred watched the little man, hoping tor a chance to encourage him with bia own calm But, ot course, ns realized that the poor fellow : ufas understanding notWjg, except that once again he was in the dread grasp of authority. When Byrd finally ended, and offered to call bls witnesses, the Judge took over. “Suppose we get quickly to the root ot this, Mr. Byrd. We’ve some busy people here. Ah—will Richard Nienaber take the witness chair ?" With the help of prodding and gestures, Nienaber managed to do thia. But by then bis excitement

The judge talked slowly —and ever more loudly— Presently, Fred got to his feet "Please, your honor?” “Yes, Dr. Beier?" The Judge looked exhausted. “Nienaber is frightened, and he has very little English to start with. Lt you would allow me to serve as interpreter ... ?” Murphy Hudson threw his long hands out in a gesture ot complete surrender. Seeing it little crinkles webbed out from Fred’s eyes. “1 am sure Nienaber understood nothing ot the charge, your honor. Perhaps 1 should begin' by translating it to him.” “Do you speak German well enough to do that, Dr. Beier?” “1 speak German like a native,” said Fred dryly. - « “All right, then. Proceed.” The Judge, the audience, listened to the flood ot gutturals which poured from Fred’s lips.

Nation’s Passport Queen Will Retire Mrs. Ruth Shipley Retires April 30 WASHINGTON (INS) — The nation's ‘‘passport queen." who has had final responsibility for issuance of hundreds of thousands of overseas travel documents, is planning at long last to do some traveling abroad herself. Mrs. Ruth B. Shipley, after 47 years of government service and 26 years as chief of the state department's passport division, is retiring on April 30 and her leisure plans include an extensive vacation in Europe. The silver-haired little lady who has been so busy with the travel arrangements of others that she never has had time to be a tourist expects to visit Spain and Turkey and to take a Mediterranean cruise. Mrs. Shipley, whose passport decisions sometimes have stirred hot congressional criticism, says she has no regrets about leaving the job in which she has “reigned" so long. ... “You bet your life I’m glad to gb,” she declares. “Don’t let anybody tell you differently. I’m glad Jo have reached the time when I jJoetnd go." . Mrs. Shipley, as well as authorizing issuance of passports, has barred a number of Americans Troni’’WWTTiTtt. Sen.

ums to Nienaber, the little man s face lit up as with a hundred candles, and the stooped shoulders straightened. Fled elaborated upon his statement, tns own back straight, and his head up. People began to smile, and then to look ashamed. Almost at once, wrathful glances were being cast at poor Ed Byrd. Mirandy began to smile and whisper to the people about her. The Judge told her to be still—and several laughed aloud. Fred suggested that the judge pdt his questions to Nienaber. “I think this whole thing can be straightened out most quickly that way—ot course you're going to have to trust my honesty in interpreting the answers, sir." "We do trust you, doctor," said the Judge soberly. Murphy shook his black head from side to side. No one Would believe mm if he ever tried to tell about this—this farce, ft was one! He could see that, U no one else did. He began to cast about for phrasing which would adequately present this situation to more sophisticated imaginations. “There was Fred, accused ot kidnaping—it can mean a death penalty, you know—and the Judge starts out by declaring ms complete confidence in the defendant !** He broke off his meditations to consider a flurry near the door.
