to Whom we all must some day answer for our deeds. Easter Sunday is a great day to start regular attendance at Church. -—• 0 Many Decatur citizens will be asked to help plan the formal opening of Decatur's new Youth and Community center; ATI Decatur citizens will be invited to take part in the dedication program and then join in continued use of the beautiful new building. We are confident that all, old and young win respond to the invitation and take advantage of the many programs and forms of entertainment which will be offered. Remember, the community building is your building and every person in Decatur will be consulted pertaining to the various programs and forms of recreation and entertainment. 0 Q Good Friday:— Today, Christians throughout the world, are Chinking of that Friday more than nineteen hundred years ago, when Jesus was sentenced to die and ordered to carry His own cross down that long path to the place of execution. “Father Forgive Them”, He said when placed on His Cross between two common thieves. Life soon left His earthly body, but the Man Jesus has been and will be with Christians always. What He taught in his few short years oa this earth, constitute the foundation of the greatest religion the world ever has known. In many dark hours, individuals and nations have tamed to Jesus and His teachings tar help and condolence. How utterly impossible lite would * jrfthout some sort of a Supreme guidance! Extreme happiness is the word then for day after tomorrow, when all Christians celebrate the Resurrection aad life forever of their Great Teacher and our own assurance that this life of ours is merely a preparation of that period we call "Eternal".

Mattress Stains Put the mattress tn the sun. Make a thick paste of starch and cold water and spread on the stain. Leave for two hours and then rub off. Repeat if necessary. Dish Water A good way to dispose of dish water and soapsuds is to pour it about the roots of currant and raspberry bushes, or young trees. 9- — 0 I Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE . Q o Q.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE ANDRUS was down on the walk a couple of yards from the steep steps when be all but ran into Barry Lofting. It disconcerted him. How long had Lofting been around, how much nad he heard, seen—and why was be on foot? Andrus asked, “Where’s your car?” Lofting said it was over at the inn. “Some storm. 1 was afraid I’d get stuck. I’m going to stay at the inn for the week end anyhow.” He made a movement to pass. Andrus said, “There’s no use your going into the house now; Susan’s going to bed with a headache, and Regina feels miserable and doesn't want to see anyone. Come on back to the tnn with me and I’ll buy you a drink and give you the latest on our friend, Mr Trout.” The two men moved off into the storm. Later that night David Redgate was shoL The medical examiner, Parr, was the only other doctor who lived on the Hill Parr’s telephone rang at shortly after 11 o’clock. It was Amy Redgate, crying out in an anguished voice that she bad just found her brother lying in a pool of blood and- she couldn't get a pulse. "Hurry, doctor, hurry.’’ Parr called the police, and grabbed a bag. Redgate was sprawled on the floor of bis study unconscious. Amy Redgate knelt beside him, tears channeling furrows in her weatherbeaten cheeks. After a quick examination Parr was able to reassure her. Redgate wasn’t dead, or in any immediate danger of dying. There was what appeared to be a gunshot wound tn the right thigh. The police arrived a few minutes later. The doctor was lifted to a bed in the surgery and, with Amy helping him, Parr went to work. So did officers Dupasse and Baker. Todhunter, who bad drifted in with them, hovered on the sidelines. Half an hour later they had the picture. Redgate had been shot through the open study window with a .22-caliber rifle. No attempt had been made to conceal or carry off the weapon. It was lying in snow-covered bushes close to the window where it had been flung. The rifle belonged to the Redgates. It had hung, with another rifle and two shotguns, on the wall of the little corridor leading to the doctor’s waiting room. Once Amy Redgate knew the brother she adored wasn’t going to die, she tried to pull herself together. She said that at around 9 that night she had started down for thd rental library on Charles street and had a blowout. There was no garage anywhere near and no phone. A passing motorist had finally helped her put the spare on, but Instead of being out half an hour, she’d been away more like two. Both the Redgates went hunting every year. It was the one vacation the doctor took. “We thought we might be able to get away soon, maybe by the eighth.” Amy had had the guns apart and oiled them earlier tn the week. They weren’t

At a public dinner, where the speakers' table is long and narrow, should the chairman or speaker or guest of honor at his table? A. No; he should sit in the center at the side—the principal speaer or guest of honor at his right. Q. What is the proper salutation to an informal letter written to a college professor? A. If he holds a doctor's degree, then it is “Dear Doctor Johnson.’’ If not, then it is “Dear Professor Johnson." Seattle — The Pacific has only about one-third the drainage area of the Atlantic because mountain ranges lie closer to most of its shoreline in Norh America.

Loaded, of course, but the ammunition for them was in a carton on the chest beneath which they bung, ready tor packing. The door to Redgate s professional quarters in the east wing was never locked until late. Someone had come in, taken the rifle down, slipped bullets into it, and then gone outside to the open window and pulled the trigger. There were no footprints, but there wouldn't be. Todhunter made a footprint of his own and timed it; tn exactly eight minutes it was completely covered with fresh snow. David Redgate regained consciousness; he was exhausted from loss of blood and shock but able to talk. He knew precisely when be had been shot. He nad come ( n at around half past 10 and after putting his bag away had gone into the study to read some new •tuff on anti-bioUcs. Before he settled down he had opened the south window, as the room was close, and looked at the clock. The time was 10:40. ft was as he was taking the pamphlets he wanted from the bookcase shelf that he had been shot. “Item of interest," he said drily. "A bullet feels like a blow from a fist.” The doctor couldn’t think of any reason why anyone should have tried to kill him. He had no angry or disgruntled patients. His evening? After dinner he nad worked for a while on a paper he was doing and at shortly before 9 he had gone over to the Wolf Hill Inn in response to a call from Regina Pelham's ex-husband, Henry Trout. He found Trout in bad shape, jittery and complaining of his heart. He was going back to New York that night and wanted something to put him on his feet. Redgate said, “It wasn't his heart, it was alcohol, and plenty of it. 1 advised him to lay off it for a while and left him some bromides." Henry Trout was the last person the doctor had seen. Dupasse said, “You had no trouble with Mr. Trout, doctor? I mean, sometimes drunks—” ■= Redgate said quickly and curtly, “None.” " Todhunter slipped away and used the doctor’s phone. Henry Trout had already left the Wolf Hill inn. He tiad paid his bill after dinner, which had been served in his room at 7, but no one knew what time he went, except that it was before 10 o’clock; the chambermaid had done the room over then. Todhunter hurried to the Pelham house. It was after 12 but there were lights on the first floor. He climbed the steep steps to the porch and rang the bell. A long wait, then a voice called, “Who is it?” The voice was Regina Pelham's. Todhunter gave his name and Mrs. Pelham opened the door and let him in. He shook snow from his hat and coat in the vestibule. Hall and living room were empty. There was someone in the kitchen. China rattled distantly. Todhunter said, 'ls Mr. Trout here, Mrs. Pelham?” "Henry?” Her fine eyes opened wide. “Why dd you ask?"

Gospel Team Will Appear On Sunday The morning and evening services Easter Sunday of the Pleasant Valley Wesleyan Methodist church, where the Rev. G. R. Shaw is the pastor, will be conducted by a gospel team from Marion College. The members of the team will be Eugene and Evelyn Gisselbeck of Castlewood, S. Dak., Vernice Lighty of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Rosalie McAninch of Windfall, Benjamin Drown of Central City, Neb., and Paul Er.yart of Bolivia, South America. All are students in Marion College. They will be featured in special music, in | rumsntal and vocal numbers in various arrangements. Two of then: will be speaking, one in the morning service, the other in the evening service.

Todhunter said tn h’s murmurs ing voice, “Dr. Redgate was shot a little while ago.” Gripping a chair back, Regina gasped, “Is Dave—dead?" Before Todhunter could speak, th«y were joined by Susan Dwight, who came running down the stairs, and Mrs. Casserly coming in from the kitchen. Both women were in robes and slippers. Todhunter told them what had happened. The effect on Susan Dwight and the nurse was almost as strong as on Regina Pelham—tn fact, if anything, the nurse was the hardest hiL “No," she gasped, falling back into a chair, “not the doctor.” Susan asked, “Is Dave badly hurt, Mr. Todhunter?” “Badly enough," Todhunter said, “but not fatally. Now, about Mr. Trout—" Regina Pelham said, “Henry went back to New York. He told me this afternoon that he was going, and said good-by. I believe he’s leaving for the west coast tomorrow or the next day.” No, he hadn’t given any forwarding address, said he’d Write. “Were you home all evening, Mrs. Pelhau? ?” “Yes.” The answer was even; unhesitating. she betrayed hefself with a hand nalt raised to her tiair. Todnunter nad already noticed 1L Damp tendrils curling around her ears broke its smooth sweep. She continued almost without a break, “1$ you mean by home, the grounds outside, 1 like snow and I walked about in it for a while, around the lawns.” Without comment, Todhunter turned to the nurse. “Mrs. Casserly; were you out—we're asking these questions because we’re anxious to find someone who might have seen the man who shot the doctor.” Mrs. Casserly said, “Oh, yes, I was out. 1 ajways go out before I go to bed; raip or shine winter or summer. I did hear something. I went around the block, and as I was turning out of Highland piace, that’s the doctor's street, into Evergreen, I heard what sounded like a shot. I thought it was a car backfiring.” —— She was either very bold or she was telling the truth. She placed the time at 20 to 11, and put herself practically on the spot. Todhunter asked Regina to let him know if and when she heard from Henry Trout and said goodnight. Back at the inn which he just barely made, as the snow was Uiigh deep in places, he went to a telephone booth in the darkened lobby and called the inspector. “Redgate,”.. McKee exclaimed, and listened without further interruption until Todhunter finished. "No taxi?” he asked. Todhunter said Trout hadn’t called one from the inn. "Maybe he got a lift off the Hill, inspector.” McKee said yes. “We’ll try and get a line on Trout if he did come down to New York. You can’t do anything more there tonight. Go to bed and get some sleep—you may be going to need IL I’ll join'you tomorrow.” (To Be Continued)

Control Program Discussed Tuesday Plan Educational Program On Control Dr. Norvan Meyer, representative of the Indiana state livestock sanitary board, discussed the area brucellosis control program at a meeting Tuesday evening at the Adams Central school. A movie on brucellosis “Triple Threat" was shown first, then the program as it might apply to Adams county was explained. Dr. Meyer pointed out that by January 1, 1957, milk marketing ordinances -wtti require- that tins milk supply come from counties on an area brucellosis control program. That is why it is so important that Adams county fanners be thinking about starting on a program. The requirement to start on a control program is that 75% of the Adams county cattle owners, dairy and beef, owning 75% of the cattle (based on latest official records) signed a petition asking for the program- After this is done, federal, state, and county funds will be used to test cattle at no expense to the owner. This test will identify animals carrying brucellosis and these animals will then be sold tor slaughter. There will be an indemnity payment of 1/3 of the loss to the owner of those on plan A. After the discussion, the group of 32 Adams county livestock owners agreed that the county should start an educational program on the area plan. Martin Habegger, county livestock disease control chairman, and Leo Seltenright, county agent, asked those present to name township representatives to discuss the program further. These people, with others in their townships will meet April 19. Those named are as follows: Preble township, Jesse Blume, Eddie Reifsteck, William Kruetzman; Root, Clarence Macke.
