Be sure to figure out where you vote in the coming election and then be real sure you get there to vote May 3. It's very important as you will be selecting candidates to serve the next four years in the various city offices. 0 0 Daylight saving time is effective in almost all of Indiana now. A few cities will wait until school terms are over before changing their time and a few in the southernmost part of the state will remain on central standard time. The confusion of the last few months is practically over, at least for the time being. —3— The Decatur Chamber of Com- « merce and the Western Union of- • flees will move Thursday tn the rooms formerly occupied by the Lane shoe store on North Second street where they plan to extend a warm welcome to every Decatur citizen who has suggestions to make that will improve conditions in and around Decatur. 0 0 The Adams county council saw fit to appropriate 3500 for the county civil defense organization. The request for the appropriation had been knocked out of the budget at regular appropriation time. The amount which is one of the smallest appropriations in the. state should help toward making a permanent organization hers and certainly it isn’t much considering the hours and-hours volunteered without cost by those assigned to setting up the organization. General Motors did a little over three billion dollars worth of business during the first quarter of this year, a gain of some 3600,000,000 in three months. This, it is pointed out, will mean the breaking of all records fbr the year’s business, provided the used car market holds and no labor troubles occur. We have no records yet as to the runners up but they probably also show increases and it certainly should be

Times never appeared better. 0 0— Dr. Robert Neff, who has been retained to make a study in Adams county concerning possible hospital needs is nationally known in his field. It is understood that the survey to be made here is to be confined to the southern half of the county and our information is that the obtaining of an expert is in line with the project started several months ago concerning a hospital for the south part of Adams county and the western part of Ohio which borders this county. o—_o The members of the Adams county council reduced the emergency appropriation requests a total of 34,945 or about one seventh of the total of 335,694.49. The reductions were made after sofne pretty careful study on the part of the councilmen. W’e are of the opinion that all seven members gave their best thought and service to the people. Now the entire matter rests with the state tax board and a final hearing will be held in the next fifteen days at the office of County Auditor Frank Kitson. At that time final disposition of the requests will be made by the state board. 0- 0 Roger Koeneman, Bob Bauermeister, Noel Fenner and Werner Reifsteck, land judging team of Preble township under the tutelage of Cletus Gillman, will go to Oklahoma City, - Oklahoma to compete Thursday and Friday against other 4-H land judging teams from over the nation. It is a splendid honor (or Preble, township, Adams county and all 4-H clubs of the county. The Daily Democrat and the team's many friends sincerely hope that these local boys will continue to show their fine superiority in the national meet and we know that they will well represent this part of the state in the national contest.

SYNOPSIS At 86. Josh Trevitt makes his will, leaving an equal share of his rambling farm in New York state to each of his nieces. Mr*. Hester Wilmar. Miss Jennie Todd and his nephew. Tom Todd. But to acquire final title, each must remain Kree months on the land, those leavg sooner relinquishing their share or shares to the final “resident." Josh also assigns an acre with tiny cottage, to Gary Norbeek. a stranger who'd come to live there. Shortly after making his will. Josh falls from a rattef of bis barn, and is killed. CHAPTER THREE THERE was a small park with paths and benches, opposite the parish house of SL Stephen’s church. Jennie Todd, an Inconspicious figure In a plain dark blue suit and blue hat, crossed over,to it, sat down on a bench. It was 4 o’clock. She did not have to be back at the school until half past She would sit here and try to think of what the rector of St. Stephen’s had said to her. She sat with her back to the door of the parish house which she had just left Her hands were trembling and she tightened them on her nandbag to control them. It was, in away, this trembling which had been seizing her more and more of Idte that had driven her to talk to the Rev. William Rickers in his study. She had begun “I’ve been terribly upset over—something—it’s my fault, 1 know—l ought to have handled the situation differently—tt's . . .“ She had sat in a comtortableehair across his-desk from him but could get only that far, which told him nothing. He had shown no impatience. He looked down at the appointment card his secretary had filled out. “You are in the Holllngswood school—the housemother. Are you happy tn yinur work ? Does it give you opportunity to give of yourself?” “Did it? She had thought swiftly of the duties that were hers — checking up on the 40-odd girls who lived In residence. Tell him that Hester had pushed her into it, 12 years ago? Hester had a friend who was a friend of Miss Millhouse; through her Hester nad heard of the position at Hollingswood Hall. She had practically secured it for Jennie before she let Jennie know of IL “There’s certainly more distinction In it than working in a book and gift shop," she had argued over longdistance. Jennie had come to Cleveland, interviewed Miss Millhouse, had got the position. She had said in answer to the rector’s question: “I heard of it-*-I took it—it's all right.” Dr. Ricker’s eyes had rested on her gravely. “Can you tell me what is troubling you?” “It’s something that happened in school, months ago—one of the girls—the others took it up—Oh, • CoDvrUdiL 1333.

1 can t tell It! rm sorry, wnen you are so kind as to be willing to listen!” “Have you tried prayer?” “Yes, Yes, I have! At least .. “But possibly you did not believe as you prayed? Ask and ye shall receive.’ ” “1 —tried to." Dr. Rickers had smiled. “Wj all try but most times that isn't enough. You believe that God created men in His image?” “Yes.” “That God is all strength?” “Yes-s.” “Then, that strength is in every human being, to use. It is in you, my dear. A strength that can beat your devils of fears! Pray to believe that you have it! Do you know the Psalms well? Read them over and over—there is a great deal of comfort tn them. Will you come to talk with me again when you teel the need to?” He had been understanding even though she had told him nothing. Though he’d needed only to look at her to know it was fear. “But so silly—so shameful —at my age!” She was 36. It was at the beginning of school, last fall, a year ago, that Maisie Crawford had said what she did before everyone at the dinner table. “Listen, girls. 1 know something terrifically excitjng! Miss Todd’s engaged! To a than she met on a tour she took this summer! Now don’t deny it. Miss Todd!. After all, we ought to know —we’re your family, aren’t we?” There were shrill squeals of ex’citmenL No one asked Maisie tow she knew—it was accepted by all the students that Maisie knew everything, except what was in her textbooks. Miss Todd, that’s simply wonderful!” “Tell us—who is he?" “When, Miss Todd ?” It ran around the table. Even Mademoiselle Duval, who boarded in the house and ate with the girls to encourage them, in speaking French, spoke her excitement in little ejaculations of her own language. Jennie sat, too stunned by surprise and shock to speak. Maisie spoke again, in a high, laughing voice. “The-mother of a friend of mme was on the tour — she saw the man and told Grace. He’s tall and handsome. Gray hair, of course ... Everyone was excited about It — love at first Sight .. .” Jennie remembered the two men who had been with the conducted party, one 80 and the other close to it, both with their wives. The tour Itself had been to historic spots In Virginia. But she must say something—she managed: “Girls, this is not the time. Madamoiselle Duval, please tell them of the French bv Jam* Abbott.

Editors Gather In Annual Convention President To Be Guest Speaker NEW YORK (INS) — Topics of the hour were discussed today among 1,200 newspaper publishers trotn all parts ot the country who tfave assembled in New York for their yearly press week, which will be marked by a major address by President Eisenhower. The editorial executives, here for the 69th annual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, mulled over such topics as: 1. The business outlook. _2*_ Former President Harry 8. Truman’s recent criticism of the press. 3. The Formosa crisis. <■» Prospects for peace. Special precautions were taken to guard the president during his short stay in New York. Some 1.600 policemen, including 175 detectives and an Bff-man motorcycle escort, have been assigned to protect Mr. Eisenhower, in addition to the regular detail of secret servicemen who will accompany him. In interviews with newsmen, the visiting editorial executives reported that business generally is good, expressed conflicting views uu Truman's criticism of the press, left the Formosa issue up to President Eisenhower, and were unanimous in saying the American people ardently long for peace. Mark Ethridge, publisher of the Imuisville Courier-Journal and the Louisville Times, told International News Service he believed that above ail other matters "every publisher should be concerned in the whole course of foreign policyl.” “1 subscribe to the statement expressed by Sen. Waiter F. George of Georgia that the United States should never be too big or too strong to talk to anybody,” declared Ethridge. Truman’s recent criticism that the press has "protected” the Eisenhower administration for mistakes it allegedly has made came tn for much comment. The editors expressed conflicting views on this topte. Tracy McCracken, prominent Wyoming publisher, asserted it

Os the ring that had been her mother's and which she had worn for years. "Miss Todd, aren't you going to show us ms photograph some day? Or tell us something?” It spread to the teachers in the school. "Miss Todd, what’s this 1 hear? But, no, don’t say anything if you don’t want to. I know how you feel about it with all these girls here. But when the time cdmes . . Then Miss Millhouse. "Miss Todd, I’ve heard a little rumor!” "Miss Millhouse, truly . . .” "My dear. 1 know how you feel about saying anything now. But do give me some warning ahead —it isn’t going to be easy to replace you. you know!” On reaching the House, she found Maisie Crawford just inside the door. "Miss Todd, here’s a letter for you. Registered, too!’’ Laughter lit Maisie’s eyes. Jennie took the letter and went upstairs to her room. She closed her door, leaned against it for its support. There was no comfort in the fact that the school year ended the next week, for about 10 of the girls stayed on at the House until the middle ot August, and —MarsteCrawtord was one of these. -It would go on and on . . . She looked at the letter. From Killbuck. It was something more to follow up the telegram that nad .come from there saying that Uncle J. hosophat had died. She must . change, go down to tier place at the dinner table. "Girls, Miss Todd got a big fat letter today! Reg" istered, too!” Could she face them ? She changed to the blue voile she wore evenings and smoothed her hair. She still had 10 minutes before the gong would ring. She sat down and picked up the letter. “Fom Wickford Middleton, At-torney-at-law,” she read in a corner of the envelope. Then she began to read the letter. The dinner gong sounded but she paid no heed to it. She read only the top sheet which was a copy of Jehosphat's will, but she read that again and again, for it was not easy for hei to get the meaning of it at once to believe it When she did—slu cried aloud: "I can get awaji Away from, here!" She did not think that Hestei would consider for a minute spend mg a summer on a farm up there in northern New York, wrapped up in her social life as she was.., Or Tom. No, she’d be alone.

would be a good thing if the present convention would give consideration to the charges that today's press is a one-party press. Bandung Confab Tops Week's World News China's Premier Lashes At U. S. I. N. S. Staff Writer INTERNATIONAL in Bandung, Indonesia this week leaders of 39 Afro-Asian nations gathered in historic session to try to ease world tension. Through Formosa was not on the conference agenda, the shadow ot that tense controversy was cast over the vital parleyL, Red Chi,nose Premier Chou EnLai, one of the major figures at Bandung, told delegates the U. S. was to blame for the Formosan crisis. And he repeated the threat that his nation has the "will” to liberate that Nationalist-held island. Generali, however, Chou tread softly. On the other hand, spokesman for some of the Asian nations were firmly anticommunist and took the conference rostrum in defense of the U. S. and the west. Another key figure at these vital Prime Minister Nehru-crlticijed both the free world and communist nations for their cold war policies. Nehtu. who reportedly sought during the week-long talks to keep Chou in line, said the courses followed by< both east and west headed the world toward war. The Indian leader urged the leaders of the 29 nations-who represented half the world’s populatlon-to throw their weight “on the side of peace." The U. S„ meanwhile, was doing its best to keep a watchful eye on the critical Formosan problem. Most of the talk this week on Formosa moved about a report by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to President Eisenhower on Sunday in which the secretary told of a buildup of air power on the China mainland. The cabinet member also gave a secret report on the crisis before the Semite foreign relations committee and the legislator termed the situation dangerous. Senator Walter...

took a calm view of the “extensive build-up" by the Reda opposite Formosa. ' And Harry Truman, testifying before the committee, said that the Formosa problem should be laid before the United Nations as a “current threat to peace.” The former president also said that present world tensions are in some ways more dangerous than the rivalries that led to World War 1 and 11. At the weekend, two ot the nation's top experts on the critical Question were in Formosa looking over /he situation and meeting with Nationalist leader Chiang Kai Shek. The trip was undertaken, a government: anjuounoement said, “in view of the tense situation which continues in the "area.” Admiral Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and Walter 8. Robertsonfi assistant secretary of .state for Far Eastern affairs, may also discuss with Chiang the implications of the Afro-Asian conference. Another trouble spot popped into the news again this week. A shaky, tree government in South Vietnam was trying to hold its own against the threat of a civil war. Our special ambassador to South Vietnam -- General J. Lawton Collins — flew home and on Friday held a high level conference with President Eisenhower on what was called the serious situation in that tense area The conference coincided with an announcement that France is seeking talks with the U. S. ter work out a common policy in Vietnam. The Soviet Union called this week for Big Four talks on an independence treaty for Austria. Russians suggested Big Four foreign ministers’ talks in Vienna “as soon as possible." On Friday, the western powers proposed that the Big Four am-

S. — were cool toward the Soviet call fsr the foreign ministers themsedvee to take over the problem shortly, apparently without prior agreement on the treaty terms. While before the Senate Foreign Relations committee on the Formosan crisis. Secretary Dulles also was questioned on the controbersial Yalta Papers. He was reported to have said that the Yalta conference in some ways served to help rather than hurt U. S. foreign policy. The cabinet members also said that an assistant secretary, Carl McCardle, had given the New York Times an advance copy ot the Yalta report "with no breach of security" and within “discretion that was his.” Britain -announced sweeping tax concessions that will remove more than two million persons from the tax rolls while cutting rates and increasing exemptions.
