Today is the first day of spring. Gardening and lawn fixing soon will be the order of the day. Spring always brings a period of cleaning up and fixing up around the home. Decatur stores offer a large variety of garden and flower seeds; paints, homeuse tools and just about everything you win want tostart the early work around the home. o .. -o Crispus Attucks high school of Indianapolis, new Indiana basketball cnamps, won handily Saturday in the final contests. The Attucks were in a class by themselves and they displayed a great team-work machine. New Albany, North of Fort Wayne and Roosevelt of Gary were great teams but the Indianapolis team just had too much for them. o ■ o Willshire's great basketball team continues to roll along in the Ohio high school Class B basketball tourney. Our neighbors in Ohio have withstood some Severe tests and are one of four teams to scrap it out next Friday and Saturday at Cincinnati. Decatur and Adams county basketball fans will wateh With interest as the Bearcats make a strong bid to bring the championship to their school fbr the first time in history. o o A new survey is being made for a possible north-south toll road route from near Michigan City to Cincinnati, O. The survey would come south from the new Lake Michigan port doWn through the east central part of Indiana and thereby would prove a wonderful outlet tor a score of Indiana industrial cities. We firmly believe that the new proposal would carry five times as much traffic as the original propbsed route which Was near the west border of Indiana. And 4fter all, isn’t it the heavy truck traffic that we want to get rlt of on our state maintained highways.

Newspaper writers and columnists and Republican politicians are make much ado about the Yalta conference papers, released by Secretary of State Dulles, shortly after he announced the papers would not be released. Let’s bear in mind one thing. Al the time of the Yalta conference, Russia was an ally of the United States and Great Britain. Words said at that time and deeds done had an entirely different strain than if the same words were said or deeds wore done today. We no longer are friendly with Russia. It makes a vast difference. ——o —__o The Decatur high school band soon will be sporting brand new uniforms. Enough money has been raised, largely by popular subscription to guarantee payment and the order already has been placed with a Cincinnati manufacturer. Members of the band will be all dressed up in a few weeks, thanks to the many public spirited supporters of the local schbol. Principal Hugh Andrews, who spearheaded the campaign, got the job done without any high pressure methods and we join other Decatur high school friends in congratulating Mr. Andrews, faculty members and students who helped in the campaign. 0 0 A New York Sunday morning newspaper has increased the price of the paper to 25 Cents. That seems a little high for one newspaper although it is so filled with news, features and advertising that it can’t be read in one day. They announce the boost was necessary because Os the higher expense of producing the paper, and nobody seems to be surprised and the increase didn't change their subscription list the least bit. A number of the big city newspaper's ate selling the Sunday edition for twenty cents and' if economic conditions continue they Will probably all go to 25 Cents. Newspapers are usually Worth more than they cost.

into contact with his skult There was a long splinter of broken glass embedded to the cloth of his overcoat just below the collar. For the second time he had been induced into the part of a murderer. The sliver of glass in an envelope had been put down behind the medicine cabinet to .the bathroom, to a chink between the back of the cabinet and the wait It would do very well there for the present. The room was cold, the window partly raised in readiness. It wasn’t dark enough yet. He had managed to get his watch going by knocking out bits of the Smashed crystal holding the hands. There was no mystery now about Michael Brodsky’s elimination. Brodsky had been killed to keep him from giving him, Andrus, an aHM for Roger Pelham’s death. Therefore an alibi existed. It existed still in the shape of the woman with love birds and the plants and the chromo of an Italian lake, with whom he and Midnight Mike had drunk wine out of a jug before they started for the cabin on the night Roger was run down. In recollection the taste of the wine was sour and tart on Andrus’ tongue. The door of the bedroom was locked but the lock was flimsy, and there was a crack in one of the thin panels. He went over to the window. Behind it was a wilderness of back yards and the windows of houses fronting on the other street. A woman peeling onions at a sink, farther along a man reading a paper to a rocking chair . . . there was no fire escape but directly below Andrus, a story and a half below, was the flat roof of an extension. The drop wouldn’t be too bad . . He buttemed hto Codt, flexed his arms, started to push the dingy curtains aside, and stopped. He had waited a little too long. The footsteps came first, then the assault on the door, three smart raps and a voice he knew, Sergeant Dupasse’s voice. “Open up, Andrus. We know you’re there. Just want to ask you a couple of questions.” We. There Were two df them. He could hear the other man breathing. He returned silently to the middle of the room. His own key was in the took inside but the ddw Wouldn’t hold idng. Another demand, a whispered consultation. Afidrus made no further attempt at stealth. He raced across the floor to the window and flung it to its full height with a crash. The door was under heavy pressure. There was a splintering sound behind him. The panel gave. A hand

came in and twisted the key. Andrus moved fast Red faced and sweating, Dupasse and Baker tumbled into the room, bringing the door with them. The room was empty, the window wide open. It was what they had expected to find. They rushed over to the window, leaned over the sill. "There!” Baker pointed. “There on the roof, see it—that’s his hat” As he spoke he was throwing a leg over the silt 'Til go after him this way, you bring the car round to the back . . .” Dupasse turned. He took a step and stood stock still, his face suffused with a dark flush. The door that they had crashed open was closed ... It was the oldest trick in the world and he had fallen for It' Andrus had used the door as a shield and let them go past him. The key was now in the lock on the outside of the door. Dupasse shoved an arm through the broken panel. The key was pretty well wedged. It finally turned. Five or six seconds wasn't going to do Andrus any good; the sergeant charged for the stairs. Andrus was very well aware that his chance was slight and his margin short Walk, do not run, to the nearest exit was excellent advice. Unfortunately he couldn’t afford to take it There were five dr six men clustered around the desk in the lobby, attracted by the arrival of the police. Before one of them could stir, Andrus was at the door, through it and sprinting along the block to the corner. Heads turned, people stood stilt He swung around the corner at top speed. And his heart sank. It was a long block. The house fronts were solid. There was no chink into which he could slide. Never say die. Maybe farther along . . . There was nobody on either pavement. Nothing except a couple of parked cars ... He was in the middle of the block when he heard it, above the slam of his feet. A car was coming along behind him, the police car. He ran on a few more yards, his lungs laboring. The car was drawing level ... he could see it out of his eye comers. It was no use. He slowed and turned, gulping mouthfuls of air. The car wasn't a police car. It was long and dark. The door was thrown open. A voice, Susan Dwight’s vdlce, called, "Get in. Hurry up.” Before he had the door closed the car was shooting forward. It went round the next teorrter on two wheels. Behind them a siren wailed. The wail grew louder. They had been seen. (To Be Continued)

Laetare Medal To President Os ATI Notre Dome Honors Noted Labor Leader SOUTH BEND, Ind. (INS)—For the first time In its 74-year history, the Laetare medal denoting selection as outstanding American Catholic laymen of the year goes to a labor leader. George Meany, president of the American Federatiin of Labor was named recipient of the award for 1955 by President Theodore M. Hesburgh, ts. 8. C. of the University of Notre Dame. The university has announced the award each year since 1883 on Laetare Sunday, the fourth Bunday of Lent. Presentation of the medal will be made later. Over the years the Laetare medal has been conferred upon 15 woman and 58 men front many fields of occupation, including novelists, actress, soldiers, publishers, church and business leaders, and government officials. The 1954 award winner Was Jefferson Caffery, diplomat, and other recent winners include Gen. Joseph L. Collins, John Henry Phelan, philanthropist, Thomas E. Murray, U. S. atomic energy commission. and I. A. O’Shaughnessy, philanthropist. But the 74th winner brings labor into the award winning group for the first time. Father Hesburgh, in announcing selection of Meany, scheduled to head the labor organisation resulting frdm a pending merger of the AFL and CIO, said: "For more than 20 years in which he has exercised local, state and national leadership, George Meany has exemplified the ability and integrity of a labor statesman. He has opposed those who would debauch the dignity of the worlkng man. With equal vigor he has combatted those who would subvert America's free enterprise system.” ,sU- . *• Sawmill Operators Will Meet Friday Northern Indiana Sawmill Operators are to meet March 25. accounted Arthur Parrish, extension district forester of Albion- The site of the meeting is the Frick Sawmill and Lumber company at Brimfield.
