Weather forecasters are saying kind words about temperatures becoming milder the next few days. Maybe spring is just around the corner. The Indiana General Assembly didn't do much to give us hope that our taxes would stop climbing. Decatur's record 85.08 this year may even go higher in the next few yeans. These increases will continue until we, as taxpayers, starting doing something about it Hearings on budgets in recent years in Decatur and Adams county have been held to empty seats. Every taxpayer should have in Interest in hew much of our money is spent and how. 0 0 Big league baseball teams are busy these days and soon will start their spring exhibition games. Sports writers are busy trying to evaluate the winter trades and name the possible winners in the American and National leagues. It looks like it would be a great season and almost every major league baseball park tn the nation is sold out for the April openers. 0 0 Os course the Far East situation is important and Mr. Dulles makes a nice explanation. However, there hasn’t been a single administration leader tie up the radio and television channels of the nation to explain why tbe G.O.P. leaders frown on a tax reduction for the little fellow, or why they're so insistent on the Dixon-Yates power contract, without usual congressional procedure. It’s an old political trick while there are some shenanigans goin on in one place* to* focus the attention of the people in some other direction. _ 0 0-— ’ Recent meetings of committees have ironed out the last construction problems of the Decatur Youth aad Community center, and Boon that building will be completed and ready for occupancy.

and child of Decatur will have visited the new buildingje ascertain its many services and programs. 0 0 After urging the Senate to pass a record budget, which will scrape the backlog of some eighty million dollars of our money right out of the state treasury in the next two years, Lieutenant-Gov-ernor Harold Handley said; "My motives are exactly the same as those of you conscientious and steadfast Senators, on both sides of the aisle (meaning Democrats and Republicans), who are determined to protect the funds of Indiana's taxpayers." Just how gullible does the Lieu-tenant-Governor think taxpayers are? Doesn't he realise that this has been the most costly General Assembly in our history? Doesn't he know that we all realise that politics and self preservation of political leaders cafne far ahead of the people? Now that we are going to pay our Senators and Representatives more money for their efforts, let’s all try and get the best possible Assembly candidates to represent us and spend for us. -—o - We’d like to nominate Hilliard Gates, Fort Wayne sports broadcaster, as the nation’s number one basketball commentator. Possibly because be lives in our neighborhood, we don’t realise the status of "Mr. Basketball Broadcaster", but every place Hilliard goes, he is acclaimed to be one Os the finest broadcasters. Incidentally the Fort Wayne sports announcer ylll be on band for the state high school semi-finals at Elkhart next Saturday and on the following Saturday, he will broadcast and telecast the state final games at Indianapolis. We all may have our favorite baseball announcer or our favorite football broadcaster, but when it comes to basketball, Hilliard is tops in the nation. He seldom misses a call and he calls the game almost faster than it is played. In doing this magnifictent job.. Gates intills in us a desire to see the next game, because he often makes the contest so exciting that soprts lovers can’t afford to miss the fun.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE * THE FUNERAL was an ordeal for everyone, ft was five o’clock before Katie could wash her dinner dishes, and she demurred at Fred’s offer to help her. "Sit here and talk do me, if you like," she invited. "You should try to get a little rest on Sunday, darling. Why, the newspaper hasn’t even been opened. I’ll wash up this mess and then fix us a little supper." "Only a sandwich, Katie. Mamma is not here to disapprove.” His eyes twinkled. “Fred . . she began. *T know. We both love her dearly. But she is a very bossy woman. And we are her whole life.” He opened the newspaper. Katie flipped about the room; she was the sort of girl to look pretty in the kitchen; she worked neatly and efficiently. Her pink cottpn dress was becoming, her slender ankles and her pretty feet moved gracefully. "Katie?” “What is it, Fred ? Something in the paper?" "No. 1 mean that is not what I wanted to ask you.” She waited. He got up and tetened his pipe,. filled it and sat down again in the rocker which she Kepi beside the window overlooking the garden. "Katie,” ne Began again, “will you be disappointed it 1 retuse to go back to su Louis and open an office with Murphy?” Katie did not look up from the silver wmen she was putting into its case; she became suddenly very particular about setting the tines ot tne forks in line, tne sides ot the knives all faced the same way.. Sue was remembering the afternoon, Lie funeral. Linda, lovely and tired, her still face as white as the pearls which she wore— Fred at ner side, ms concerned eyes watching her. He would not want to leave Linda. Was that why he asked . . . ? bne signed. "Are you sure it is the rignt thing to stay here, Fred?” she asked quietly. Glad to escape looking at him, sne carried tne walnut case to the dining room. "How con a man be sure that what ne docs is right, Katie?” he asked when she returned. She unfolded a fresh cloth and spread it upon the kitchen table. “Well,” she said slowly, "is Staying nere what you want to do?” ’.On, yes,” qtfTbkiy.'"Tliat much 1 know." He sat gazing out of the window at the trees. “1 love this place, Katie,” ne said softly. His rich voice throbbed with feeling. ”1 like the life we lead here.

I want a chance to help these people who have been allotted to me, not only to bring them safely into the world, but to help them five well in that world. 1 want to build an overall health program.” "Yes, Fred, but what about yourself ? If you sacrifice yourself to this Valley . . “Katie, 1 have but one life to live. No? Therefore, 1 would make it as good a life as possible. Must 1 spend it looking at patients as just so many sinuses ? No feet, no hearts, no— And competing with a thousand ambitious doctors who also want to be famous! No, Katie.

Ls 1 stay here in the Valley, 1 shall be able to live a full lite. 1 can work m my little hospital, and sometimes go fishing m the afternoon. It vortl be hard work, but there will often be time to look at the mountains, and to think.

A place where we may raise children and Know them, be with them, not like the city way, where babies go to nursery schools and a busy doctor-special-ist must ask his secretary where his son is at a given minute. 1 do not want that, Katie. I went to put a lot ot me into those children, get a lot from them." Katie came toward him, the western light lull upon her pretty face. "What children are you talking about, Fred?” she asked, a dimple dancing about her Ups. He showed his surprise, ’’Why, our children, Katie.” Her eyes were round, her cheeks piniL course!” said Fred, sounding like Ludmilla. "Don't you know that Was why t gave the Nienaber baby to Linda ? Why 1 let her have it ? She has no child, and will not have—l am urging her to adopt children.” “But she’s young, Fred. Not over thirty.” "She is young, darling, but she won’t marry again, I’m afraid.” Katie moved so that her hand lay upon Fred’s shoulder.

"Because she is in love with you?" s Fred’s face was grave. “I’m sorry about that. It was not my choice that such a thing should happen to her." Katie went back to her supper preparations. She understood everything that Fred might have said and she accepted the situation. After ail, Katie had never been arte to comprehend why all women did not fall in love with her Fred. She loosened the ruffled leaves ot lettuce "You were speaking of our children,” she prompted mm. He nodded. "Yes, 1 was. It Is time we were having them, Katie.” He was so brisk and businesslike that she laughed. "Did your mother tell you so?" lie stared at ner. Then he got up Lum the rocker and came over to her. With nis fingertip under hei chin, he tilled her face up to his guze. Katie giggled and pulled away. "She told mt that’s why she came to see us. Three years, she said, was lung enough tor me to be a bride. Lo.v, she said . . .” "Didn't it make you Angry, Katie ? What did you answer her?” "Nothing, especially. As for being angry—she thinks ot you as still being a little boy. 1 know that, Fred.” “Whereas I am a man, and quite capable ot knowing tor myseli that 1 want children. 1 do not need my mother to tell me when!” “No,” she agreed, “you don’t need your mother. But, then, you don't need a smart specialist to tell you ...” He Kissed the top of her head. "You must try to understand Mur_pliy, too, my darling. This morning you heard mm say that he envied me. He truly does. People are attracted to Murphy—they Like him—but even 1 do not trust him, or love him. Still, 1 am his closest triend, and naturally, he clings to me. That is why he wants me to go back to the city with him.” "No! It isn’t tor friendship that he wants you. You’re smarter . . "Possibly. But the project might work out well tor us, Katie. You wouid then be the wife ot a successful specialist, wearing fine clothes, giving fine parties in a glossy, city apartment. You would Jje.a great help to me. But, then, you art also a great help.to me here, entertaining friends and understanding my patß.-rrtsJ’' ■ He felt her stiffen in his circling arms, but he went on talking, speaking ius innermost thoughts, until she relaxed against him. With keen insight, he touched upon every argument which Murphy had used to her —or had induced her to use for herself. Yes, Fred did know his friend. (To Be Continued)

Alabama's Murder Trial Nearing End Phenix City Murder Trial Is Near End BIRMINHAM. Ala. (INS)—Testimony in the four-week long trial of a former law officer accused of murdering Alabama attorney general nominee Albert Patterson is expected to end late today. Attorney* for the defendant, exRussell county chief deputy sheriff Albert Fuller, said Tuesday they would complete sur-rebuttal testimony from some 35 witnesses. Fuller is one of three former law officials accused of Patterson’s murder last June IS ia Phenix City. The other two—ousted Russell county solicitor Arch Ferrell and former Alabama attorney general Si Garrett—will be tried later. The slaying of the W-year-old Patterson, who had campaigned on a pledge to clean up erimeinfested Phenix City, touched off a gigantic clean-up during which martial rule was imposed on the former “Sin Town.” Chief defense counsel Roderick Beddow said that the state’s star witness, Cecil Padgett, who placed Fuller and Ferrell at the murder scene, would be brought back to the witness stand for crossexamination. Defense questioning of Padgett had been expected for the past two days. Fuller, known as a fancy guntoting officer, remained composed as the final state rebuttal witness launched an attack on the reputation of his chief “impregnable alibi" supporter, former Russell county sheriff Ralph Mathews. Mathews had testified earlier that Fuller was in the county jail at the time three bullets were pumped into Patterson in a Phenix City alley. Five other defense witnesses have corroborated the alibi.

Indiana Farm Youth Not Excited By Ike

WASHINGTON (INS) —A 17y ear-old Indiana boy who runs a 160-acre farm practically single banded said today he wasn’t nervous or excited when he met President Eisenhower but FBI director J. Edgar Hoovbr made chills run up and down his spine. v Young Biden Holsapple of Mitchell. Ind., who said his current trip to the nation’s capital is the "first time I have ever been oast of Indiana" likes Washington well enough but for a permanent thing ho prefers life on the farm. El den is one of six 4-H club youngste rs who called on the President thia week to present a volume “report to the nation,” in connection with the curvet observance of nfional 4-H cieb week. In effect, he himself is “exhibit A” in the bound volume of photographs whose captions show that his mother died when he, the youngest of eight children, was only two months old. Biden grew up on his grandparent’s farm, which is only a mile from his father’s place, and has been in the thick of farming activities “since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.” When his grandfather’s health began to tail, the responsibility for running the farm fell to him with such help as his father and his brothers could give. There has never been any hired labor on either farm. EMen says. He admits that a hog-eheep operation “is a pretty heavy load" for one young sms. especially since his section of Indiana has been plagued by a presistent drought for the past three years. Up to now, however, farm work hasn’t interfered with his school work. “This year," he say* rather ruefully, “I’m in second place in my class. My first year tn high school 1 was in first place." For the moment college appears to be out for Elden. "There isn’t any way he could pay for it ex-

cept by sacrificing my grand * mother's farm,” he said. Young Holsapple, quite understandably. is the pride of 4-H club leaders and sponsors. What other youth at his age can boast of doing a bang-up job on approximately 12P projects ranging all the way from hog production to canning, baking, sewing and food preparation? No panty-waist, Biden got into the home economics side of 4-H club work In 1949 when he couldn’t find enough projects of other types to fill up bis schedule. As a result of this training he was accomplished enough to bake and decorate the cake for his grandparent's golden wedding anniversary in 196 d. He was 13 years oM then. One of his favorite stories involves the place mats he made tor a local exhibit. After the show, be found the judges had pinned a note to the mats suggesting that he stitch in the hem. Point was the hems were already stitched but the stitches were so fine the judges overlooked them. Elden’s mats still won second priae at that exhibit and, shown elsewhere, they came in first New Address Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lake have received the following address of their son, Jim.
