Your support of your Church is needed, especially as summer approaches. Attendance, as a rule falls off noticeably In the summer months and Decatur churches are planning special programs to hold their members to year around Church attendance. You are being counted on to do your share. Churches are just as Important in the summer as any other time. O g These are busy days for the Treasurer and Auditor. Taxpaying deadline is Monday and that day also is the final day for filing of mortgage exemption applications. After the deadline, there are a good many hours of work in store for each officer before all the records are ready tor inspection. In most of the work, additional help Is not experienced enough to help and this means many extra hours of labor for the officials. O o - The Decatur Recreation commission, newly appointed group, has as its first and principal duty the operation of Decatur's new Youth and Community Center. Under the existing statutes, the city and the schools each can have a recreation program, but the total tax levy permitted is 20 cents. Decatur’s two programs, this year will cost the taxpayer a total of 18 cents. Perhaps, for a well-rounded program and some economy, it would be at least worth a thought, of in the future, placing the entire program under the guidance of the city Commission. At least it is worth a thought and it would relieve school authorities of some additional summer work.

SYNOPSIS If the three heirs to old Josh Trevitt's sizeable upstate New York farm remain on it for st least three months after his death, each will inherit onethird of the land. Those leaving sooner must relinquish their share or shares to those remaining. Anal resident to be awarded the entire farm. So when old Josh died, his kin were notified and copies of his will mailed them. CHAPTER SEVEN WICK walked back over the path, across the stones in the creek. He went into the bank He bad done this both times before when he had come up to find Gary Norbeck. The last time be had stepped off the distance between the door and the spot where Jim Meese said they found Jehosophat, between that and the back wall. He had not climbed the steep ladder to the loft—lt was old, some of its rungs were loosened by rot: he did not dare trust his weight to it That same day he had gone into the back wing of the house which had been old Josh’s living quarters, looked through the drawers of an old chest in one corner, under the padding of an old rocking chair, in the pockets of Josh's tew clothes which still bung on books behind a faded cretonne curtain, inside the old clock on a shelf, inside the stove, under the rug carpet. But he had found no money. Today he had an impulse to go into the other wings, not to search them but merely to see what they were like. No doors between the rooms were locked, though each had a heavy bolt. Quarrelsomeness in the family, Josh had said. The shutters of the parlor ware shut—he remembered they had been closed tor years—but one hung lo|»e on its hinges and let in a bar of light A marble-top table stood tn the center of the room, on it an enormous Bible and some waxed flowers under a glass dome. Three Stiff horsehair-covered chairs and a sofa were placed primly in order, a what-not was loaded with china pieces in one cornet’. Wick was satisfied to do no more than glance into the two smaller rooms off from it, one a bedroom, the other a kitchep. . Then he went through a door Carn right li»3.

into what Josh had called the north wing. Thia he found much pleasanter, alight for there were no shutters at the windows, the carpet faded but still with some brightness; the chairs, here, seemed more comfortable. Back of the living-room was a bedroom with a four-poster bed which he recognized as a good antique. The big chest of drawers, too, a small table and two chairs. A part of a porch running along the wing had been walled in to make a kitchen, big enough to give room for an old dropleaf table. AU this, he remembered, was to go to Mrs. Hester Wilmer. The grabby one, old Josh had called her. He heard a car stopping on the drive outside. He went in the kitchen wing and through the window he saw Ed Pauly’s taxi with a woman getting out of it, slender, primmish, in a dark blue suit, nervously opening her bandbag to pay Ed. Then a startling realization came to him. She must be one of Josh’s nieces. Ed was taking out two suitcases and a big brown paper bag. She was coming toward the door. He went to the door, though his inclination was to escape in the other direction. At sight of him she paused. “Oh! This is the Trevett farm?” “Yes. I happened to be up here. You are . . .” Though he knew, before she spoke, from the frightened look tn her dark eyes. She was the skinny little girl the older one had bossed around! "Miss Jennie Todd, Jehosophat Trevett’s niece. 1 had a letter .. .” “Yes. From me. I’m Wickford Middleton.” “Where should I put this luggage, Wick?” asked Ed Pauly. Wick thought swiftly of the dreary part of the house that was to be Miss Jennie Todd's. He said: "Put them down, Ed. I'U take care of them." As Ed went away she said to Wick: “You - wrote that ths main part of the house was mine.” "Yes. There’s a door around here.” He picked up the suitcases and she picked up the brown paper bag and followed him. In the parlor be put down the by Jane Abbott. Distributed by Kins

Homemaking Tipi By Miss Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent Miss Ann Liggett presented a lesson recently on frozen foods. Fifty-seven Adams county women filled the home economics department of the Decatur high school. Miss Liggett is a nutrition specialist from Purdue University. ' She stressed the importance of blanching vegetables before they are preserved in the frusser. This process stops enxyme action, preserves color and nutritive value of the vegetables. Blanching is done by placing the vegetables in a colander, wire basket or muslin bag and immersing into rapidly boiling water for a few minutes. The blanched vegetables are then cooled in iced water for the same length of time as the blanching process. Mias Liggett also stress-ed-the. use of ascorbic acta (vitamin C) in preserving certain fruits. Packaging of vegetables, meats, and prepared, foods were all demonstrated. For more information and literature on freezing foods, contact the county extension office in Decatur.

Instead she said, low, as if she were speaking to herself: “It’s wonderfull** *TU get those shutters open, lei in some tight—the windows, too.” Wien he returned to the room he found her sitting In one of the old horsehair chairs, her hands folded, a look of ecstasy on her face. "Thanks. Mr. Middleton. It is better to have the windows open!” She spoke absently as if she were still m a thrall of pleasure at being here. “If you had let me know ahead —rd have had the place aired and cleaned and ready. There’s Wood cut for the stove—but do you know how to work a woodstove ?• “My mother used one, summer times. Yes, I’ll know. I’ll be quite all right here, Mr. Middleton.’* “You’ll need food, Miss Todd. No one delivers up here.” *1 brought some things, tea and coffee and bread and some armed things. I’ll walk down to the town when I need more.” “It's two miles.” '(SftrtfSflr “I like to walk.” She locked her hands together, asked with some hesitation, as if she dreaded to put the question: “Have you—have you heard from my sister—and brother?” “No.” Wick would have said more except for the great relief he saw come into her face. “But you’ve no near neighbors, Mias Todd.” Then he remembered Gary Norbeck. ’Tin wrong—there is somebody fairly close. The young man to whom your uncle willed the south acre. He’s living in a cabin down there. I imagine, if you needed to call him, he could hear you.” Jennie Todd got up from her chair. *1 won’t need to call him. It’s going to be heavenly to know that 1 am here all by myself.” He said: “My office is on the main street over Nickerson’s hardware store. Any time . . .” •Til find it, if 1 need to.” “Heavenly I” He repeated her word aloud as he drove down the hill.

this day of rapid technological advances, now more than ever, we need to hate the emotional steadiness which gives us the courage to meet and resolve the many challenges and conflicts that increasingly confront us. "We need a kind of emotional resilience, a capacity for calm decision and fearlessness about the unfamiliar, the unknown, the unprecedented.
