Announcement has been made that Dr. Ray Stlngely, Decatur dentist will be received into the twenty-five year group of the Indiana state dental association at its annual meeting in Indianapolis this month. Dr. Stlngely has practiced dentistry in Decatur for more than twenty years and will have completed his twenty-fifth year in that field this summer. He practiced at Geneva prior to coming to Decatur. We congratulate Dr. Stlngely on his completion of a quarter of a century of service and sincerely Aope that he will continue his good health so that he can Ate many more years of his fine service to the people of this community. 0 0 - Al Beavers and Herman Kruecr keberg are heading the drive this week to sell shares in “the future of Decatur’s boys”. It’s the annual financial drive for sponsors of the Little League and Pony League baseball program. The Little League was started in Decatur several years ago by a, group of Decatur men, interested in a summer program for local youngsters. The plan has grown each year and this year there will be six Little League teams and 7 two -Pony League teams. The boys play regularly scheduled games and often times the crowd is as large as attendance at a high school football game. It not only provides interest for the participants, but for the hundreds of baseball fans in this area. For several years local merchants and industries have been asked to buy SSO shares in the leagues. There always has been ample financial support and there is every reason to believe that 'the 1955 budget of |2,b00 will- be—oversubscribed within the week. It’s a great project and anyone who has seen some of the games wii vouch for that statement Former sponsors who plan to buy 1955 shares in Decatur's boys are asked to have their checks ready when Mr. Beavers and Mr. Krueckeberg call

CHAPTER THIRTEEN CINDY spent a part of that morning planting the seeds Gary Norbeck had brought to her. She Knew now to do it, for she bad helped Brigit plant a strip of vegetable garden back of the apartment house. She had not found Gary Norbeck at the pool again. She told herself that he probably had other things J»e had to do. She would go again, this afternoon. She had heated a tunny old iron she had found on a shelf and pressed out her blue shorts and her yellow blouse —she'd wear those. Though she wished he would paint her in the white organdy dress Brigit had made for her graduation. - --• • • Jennie thought of Tommy. She had not seen him or heard anything directly from him, since a day he had come into the bookshop. A rainy day—he had been bareheaded and his shoulders were web She had made not tea tor him on the little stove in the room back ot the shop. He'd laughed at the bookshop. He had borrowed $25 from her. “Just a loan, Jenn. The banks are closed and 1 have to get on west tonight. I'll mail you my check. "He’d gone, then. She nad never got ins check. Her thought went to Cindy. Tommy nad not told her he had a daughter that day in the bookshop —even that he had married and that his wile nad died. It was possible Hester was right in suspecting the girl's identity. But she wanted no part in those suspicions. . * * * On arising late, this same morning, Hester tound a note from Enid on the kitchen table. “Warm water in kettle tor your bath. Coffee made. Poke up fire to heat it. Am !gomg for a long walk.” Through the window, Hester saw; Cindy at the pump, and ane went asst to the yard. "When is your father coming?" she asked. Picking up her half-filled pail, Cindy answered guardedly, “I don't Know.” - ’*You don't know? You must know something of his plans! Where is he?” “He goes all over—maybe he's somewhere out on the west coast now. He's In very important business.” - “What business?" “I don't know." With that Cindy walked off toward her own door. “You haven’t been coached very well," said Hester coldly to Cindy’s back.

is rude and ill-bred. Q. Who should be first to leave a luncheon table? A. The hostess gives the signal just as she does at dinner, by rising at the conclusion and leading her guests into the living room. Q. Should the dessert spoon or fork be placed on the table at the beginning of the meal? A. No; they should be brought in with the dessert course. y Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE I 0 o The Bread Knife Sometimes the baker is blamed for bread that is not throughly baked when the trouble is that the knife is not sharp enough. It it is sharpened oftener there will be an improvement in the slices of bread. s White Stockings If you have some white stockings and wish to change them to a tan or brown, toil them for a few minutes in strong tea and then rinse in clear water.

On another page she already had made a note ot what Mrs Dean hid said about the man Norbeck appearing to nave plenty of money to spend. She would see to it that she had more to write about him. Enid came fn. Her usually pale face nad a little color, her eyes a little aglow. “You must have taken a long walk, darling, ft’s after 12.” “It is? I took a cross road, down quite a bit—got lost coming back, i stopped at Gary Norbeck s cabin to ask the way.” “Enid! That farmhand!” - “I talked to him. And I’m going to be friends with Cindy. I’m going to talk to Gary Norbeck whenever 1 see him. And . . .” Enid paused as if she had to catch her breath. “I’m not going . . .” Hester lifted her hands tn affected dismay. “Darling, please, no proclamations ]ust now! I’ve had so many things to think about this morning, to plan—l’m exhausted." • • • Wick Middleton spent the morn-, ing in Malone and a part ot it in" Judge Hicks' office. They were old friends. Wick told the • judge of Jehosophat Trevett’s will, that two ot the heirs and the daughter of the third had arrived, bag and baggage, and taken possession, each ot a part of the house, before the will had gone through probatp. “What was their hurry wouldn't say an estate like that—a farm and an old house —was worth such a rush!” “I've figured It out that each one had a reason for coming that has nothing to do with the property." Wick added; “That's just a guess on my part, ot course.” He knew it was no guess where Cindy was concerned but he could not explain that to the judge. He spoke ot an Idea he had of charging a nominal rent until such time as each one’s right to be there was legally established. The judge smiled. “One way around your situation, Middleton. But what’s holding up its going to probate?” , ' “The third heir —a nephew, I haven’t located him as yet.” He did not go into his difficulties in that tor to do so would betray Dan Dooley's confidence. He said: “I expect to very sqon.” Reasonably he did; he had written to Dan Dooley, urging him to get the waiver to Thomas Todd in some

I’m collecting copies ot eccentric wills and this is a fine example. You knew old Trevett—you say you wrote this will tor him. What was in his mind, do you think?” Wick said; “I think he loved that land ot his—wanted it to go to the one who loved it, too—as he said, 'who’d live peaceable on it.’ “ "So he thought out this way to find out! Which one will you bet on, Wick ?" Wick laughed. "It’s a little too soon to place bets on it.” "Well, Wick, your summer isn’t going to be dull, my boy!

His housekeeper's got arthritis so badly she can’t set one foot to the floor. He’s been cooking for himself.” “Go ahead, ask Jim over.
