If yon want your receipt retarned, enclose aa addressed, stamped envelope with your remittance. 0 0 Time magazine, dated March 7, features a photograph of Indiana’s Governor Craig on the front cover. An article, doctored up to make good reading and definitely not written by eomeone who knows too much zbont Indiana politics, is included in the issue. The article, while not too complimentary concerning any Indiana politicians, consumes three or four pages. It’s • typical Time article, written to the style frequently used by that publication. fl • Recent heavy rains should, make us realise that Decatur has a big sewage problem. Probably two-thirds of the homes had water in basements in the last week. Our city has grown so fast in the last ten years that it has been financially . and physically impossible to keep the sewage system astride of the increase in population. Decatur to not alone with its problem. Many big and email cities are faced with the same problem. We will hate to have larger |ewers soon. This is ohly onetibt the many problems which wilt greet the new city administration next January. It to one of many reasons why we should choose mayoralty and councilmanic candidates with care.

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT : FRED lit * dgaret, took his cup 1 In his hand and learned back on an . elbow braced against the cabinet ' counter. He was thinking of what ; he bad said to Linda, of the things in his life which bad seemed , wrong, and yet were right. Fred had known many times when this contradiction was evident... He remembered when his parents , had brought Um to America. He was just a little wide-eyed boy tn a round hat, but alert, and observant. He could remember Austria vaguely, and the trip across the ocean, the sense of unease which his parents* talk bad instilled in him. They were emigrants because conditions tn Austria bad become intolerable for a German chemist, but a job awaited Jakob Beier tn St. Louis. Fred could remember his fat hae g* be had looked then much more clearly than he could recall Ludmilla. At that time, Ludmilla would have been a fairly young woman, and pretty, perhaps. But since she had continued to live, Fred's image of her had changed wtih the years, wUle Papa remained a stocky young man, with a great, flowing mustache, and With a porcelain pipe in Us mouth. Fred remembered clearly the tight his father had been killed. Heroically, aa it happened, but at the time no one explained that fact to the twelve-year-old boy who could not aee for himself that a hero might be a man tn a ridteuioua, flowing mustache who would rescue • common worker fallen into a brewery vAL That brewery was generous. Jakob’s widow was given a check which paid off the mortgage on the tall house. Lodmilla used the money for that, and Baid she meant to keep boarders. There were ttve shining - clean and comfortable rooms which she could rent to working men, decent men who made little trouble and paid regularly. They were gone from the nonflW day a pSbiced lunch, a good hot supper—it was the best thing to do tor a widow with a house she owned, and a son to be educated to be a doctor.

friends. He would not make friends with the other German* American children. But that was when he became "pals” with Murphy Hudson. Murphy had been a popular boy, and a typically American one. Impudent, brash and quick to see that Fred was what he called **a good bet” Fred was smart, and that smartness made him realize what sort of deal he was making with Murphy. But it seemed a fair one to him. He didn’t mind working algebra equations for Murph in exchange for the slender, dark boy's championship. It was Murphy who drew him into the select group of boys in the school corridor. Murphy wanted to share a locker with Fred; Murphy never made fun of Fred, and the other boys soon stopped doing it. Murphy introduced Fred to girls. Murphy ignored Fred’s unwillingness to have friends come to his house. Murphy came anyway. And soon he was bringing other boys. It got to be the “thing" to go to Fred's on Sunday afternoon,* and Fred was puzzled to know why they should seem to enjoy his home. As often as not, Ludmilla set them to mowing the lawn, or to helping Fred with other tasks. But Ludmilla also fed them cookies; the young Americans liked her big flowered cups of coffee heaped high with whipped cream. One moonlight Sunday evening, she brought out the concertina—she called it a Dutch pull-out —and taught the group to sing fall songs. Tears had stung Fred’s eyes. He didn t know why. Embarrasment at his mother? At the kind courtesy of his friends? Or simply the beauty of the moonlight on the river and the lovely tune, richly throbbing ... Ludmilla knew that Murphy used Fred, but she also guessed what son got from that friend, the social life and the sense *-belonging. Fred went all through college on scholarships, and then won another scholarship tor medical school, but his additional expenses there were much greater. Those were the depression years of the thirties, and Ludmilla found it ever more difficult td* keep boarders. When he heard of an opening at the Bosche Laboratory, he quickly applied tor the job.

Rumple estate has been filed and approved. The estate is valued at $37,200 in real property and 110,028.28 in other property for a total of $47,228.28. On motion of the administrator of the Bertha Foreman estate the county department of public welfare has been ruled to answer absolute within 10 days. Martinsville Judge Refuses Appointment INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Two attorneys seemed to be insiders today for a $13,500-a-year Indiana supreme court Judgeship after Judge John Sedwick, of Martinsville, asked Governor Craig Friday to withdraw his name from consideration. They are Paul Wever, of Evansville, Vanderburgh county prosecutor, or Norman Atterburn, Vincennes lawyer. - jrf Judge Sedwick told the governor he preferred to remain as judge of the Morgan circut court.

Dr. Bosche lectured on pathology at the medical school, and was head of the city’s police lab. Fred was not sure what the job required, but be felt he could do anything asked of him. He was good in lab work; his grades in chemistry were high, and in anatomy, too. He dressed carefully in a new suit, a bright tie; he had bls hair cut short. He intended to sell his personality as oeing an eager and aggressive young man. He went to the Uli city house where Dr. Bosche lived and maintained the offices of the laboratory, built behind IL ft was then that he had first seen Katie. Thirteen, she was, just a little girl, with a ribbon tying her light brown hair back from her face. A pretty little girl, and sweeL It was after office hours, and she admitted Fred. He said, “Hi, Kid!" to her, and told her his business. In a most dignified way, she asked where he had gone to school. "I’m a sophomore medic at Washington," he elaborated. “My grades are available. I understand thia job could be handled in my spare time." , “Yes. Do you have any languages besides English?" Hitler's rise had made Fred more loath than ever to claim his German heritage. “Well, you know, we're required to take a year of German in pre-med—and 1 have had two years of French, strictly ot the high-school variety—and some Latin ot the same sort." The little girl had asked him to wait, then disappeared into the upper part of the house. She came back to say sweetly, and prettily, that she was sorry, but Dr. Bosche had already filled the position. Her pink cheeks told him that this was not strictly true. He simply was not being given the place.. He went slowly out through the double door, stood a minute in the thinAigl Wfiy had he failed? He’d tried so hard to look and talk and be the brisk young American. His record would tell his story as a scientist But he hadn't even been allowed to talk to Dr. Bosche. And though everything would appear to be in his favor, something had gone wrong! The young girl wasn't to blame; she’d been sorry—(to Be Continued)
