Traffic fatalities are increasing. It’s the time of the year when almost all of the nation's millions of automobiles are on the highways. You can’t let down a minute on being careful when you’re using the highways. 0 o_— Parts of Adams county got a few spoons full of rain Sunday and there are predictions of more. Sunday's showers barely moistened the top of the ground, but at least it was a starter. Most parts fit the county could stand a couple of Inches of rain, according to those who reside in the rural areas. 0 0 Remember, there will be thousands of automobiles on the highways next week-end! Drive with care and caution, and you’ll get to make another trip over the Fourth in just about a month. All the warnings from coast to coast won’t be enough for a few reckless, careless drivers, who make it tough on the rest of the motoring public, because usually when they are involved in a mishap, they include some innocent careful motorists. 0 0 Last year in the United States, 95,000 persons were killed in accidents. These were divided into three categories. The automobile accounted for 38,000 deaths and 29,000 were killed In home accidents. Fifteen thousand were killed while on their jobs. Total injuries were 9,600,000 and of these 350,000 were permanently injured. Total property damage in these 95,000 deaths totalled ten billion dollars. Is it any wonder that people at last are becoming alarmed ? 4) 0 Slow Down And Live days will start May 27 and extend until September 5. It is a drive throughout the United States to promote safety on the highways. Everyone of the 48 governors and mayors of all cities of the nation are leading the way. We can cut down fatalities on the roads if we all join these leaders in driving carefully and reporting those who refuse to. The goal in Indiana

during the three month period from Decoration Day to Labor Day is to save 50 lives and five million dollars in property damage. We have 101 days in which to do it. Let's help lead all other states in this fine undertaking. ——o Lysle D. Hodell, general manager of the general porposes motor department of General Electric will speak here at noon Tuesday June 21 at a luncheon sponsored by the Decatur Chamber of Commerce in connection with Dedication week of the Youth and Community Center. The prominent General Electric top executive, who is head of all of General Electric's small motor factories including the two in Decatur, is regarded as one of the middle west’s outstanding industrialists and he always has a great message for his audience. Mr. Hodell is no stranger in Decatur and the people of this area who attend the Chamber sponsored luncheon will not be disappointed. The subject of the guest speaker will be “What Can We Give?” The Hodell meeting will be one of the outstanding highlights of the entire week. —-O o The Mississippi Valley, a major part of 23 states of the nation, including all of Indiana, is one of the most fertile areas to be found any place in the world. Its agriculture, industry, and natural resources have made it an important part of the United States. The principal future problems facing the millions who live and prosper in this great Valley, are the conservation management and use of our natural reaurces. particularly soil and water. To meet and conquer these problems the Mississippi Valley' Association has dedicated itself. Os course if we lose our water and our soil blows away, we will have lost our greatest middlewest assets. It’s a big problem, but this central part of the United States had men. with vision to build it and we are sure this same part of the nation has men who will tackle and whip the problem of conservation of resources.

CHAPTER TWENTY NOT a word of bis technique or values or tils background, had Enid mentioned of his painting of Cindy, yet Gary would rather have heard her say what she had. “You’re amazing!” he explained. She looked at him. “Why?" “First—X didn’t expect you to say anything like that. Aren’t most girls a little jealous of a very pretty girl?” She dropped down on a stool by the work table. “1 never have envied pretty girls but 1 da envy anyone like you! You think something, at least in the special part of your mind, and then you pick up a brush and put it on canvas. You make tt live! Writers do that, and composers, architects, engineers . . . But most of us—we think things and that's aU. At least ones like me. 1 want to do something—just do something that's me!" Gary said, "There’s a pretty big choice these days, isn’t there?” Enid said soberly: “That’s what I’m thinking abouL 1 must decide on something that I can do. And 1 haven't any talent for anything. Whatever 1 decide I’ll probably nave to study or take some training tor IL” He moved toward the stove. “What say we scramble up some lunch ? Like spaghetti ? I've a can ot it with tomato sauce. Coffee in the pot." Enid said: “Let me start the fire. I’m getting quite expert.’’ She began at once to put kindling into the little stove. Gary liked that—nothing in her manner to indicate that she saw this as a romantic adventure. They ate at a corner of Gary’s work table. They did not talk much but Gary realized that the little silences that tell were comfortable, companionable. The rain closed in, in a pleasant way. They washed their plates and cups. “I’d better go,” said Enid. “You'll come again?” asked Gary. Enid -hesitated. “It depends on how my mother takes this today.” She was going to tell her mottled. Gary was inordinately pleased at that. He said, a little drily: “It'd be all right if I were on the eligible list?” Enid laughed. “It’s wonderful to have you understand! And it isn’t that I'm afraid to go against her. At least these last few weeks I’m not. It s—she is awfully unhappy, living there on the farm —especially so now. I can’t upset her too much.” She put on her boots, the coat, the hood, went to the door. There she turned. “1 will come again!” “The next rainy day?” he asked. She went out into the rain, down the path. He watched her until she disappeared among the trees. “Some girl!” he said aloud. • • • Jennie Todd walked in the rain that day. To the village, wearing a faded blue raincoat and rubbers and holding an umbrella over her head. She walked fast, as if she must hurry to do what she was going to do. As, Indeed, she must

this Cherry 8015?" Should a hostess rise when greeting a guest who has just arrived, and other guests are already present? A. Yes, always. A hostess is verydiscourteous who does not rise to greet every guest, and also when taking leave of each departing guest. Q. When a girl breaks an engagement which has already been announced, how can she inform those of her friends who live out of town and might not otherwise learn of what has happened? A. She can write brief, Informal notes to them. Dallas — About 25 gallons of water are needed to produce one gallon ot aviation gas.

oeiore some courage site had found petered out in her. She had bolted the door between herself and Hester again. Then, yesterday, Hester had come to her front door. Jennie opened IL not knowing who bad knocked on iL Hester was smiling. She said: “I’ve brought a letter for you Jenn.” Jennie Todd took the letter, put it on the table. “Read it, Jenn. It’s from Miss Millhouse. And I’ll wager you anything she’s writing for you to get back on the job!” Jennie picked up the letter, opened IL “Yes, she wants me to come back.” Her voice was steady as she said IL She read the letter aloud. “U it isn't possible for you to come back by the first of August at the latest. It will be necessary for me to engage someone else in your position.” “1 thought that was what she had written,” said Hester. “I told you she’d need you!” Jennie folded the tetter. “I’m not going back!” she said. Hester stared at her. “Jenn, are you insane? You can’t expect me to find you another job!” “No, 1 don't expect you to.” “What will you do?” "Stay here. I like it here.” “What will you live on?” “I’ll find some way ot earning money. I’ve a little saved, and it doesn't cost much to live here.” Hester drew herself up straight. “Unfortunately, however, 1 can’t dismiss a feeling ot concern tor you 1 beg you not to answer Miss Millhouse's letter without giving it very serious thought — saner thought." With that she went out the front door. Jennie sat down and wrote a letter to Miss Millhouse —a letter ot resignation. Tomorrow she would walk to the village and mail IL * • * Reaching the village, she went directly to the post-office. The postmistress greeted her with a surprised laugh. “My goodness, Miss Todd, you out in this ram! It must be an important letter you have to mail.” “It Is," said Jennie. "Anyway, I like to walk in the rain.” "Well, I do myself If I’m dressed for IL I’ll see this goes on the 2:30. No mall come for you yet today. How’s everything up at your farm?" * “Going very well," said Jennie. "You really like it? 1 have a hankering to live tn a city. I’ve got it in the back of my mind to quit this job. My husband had it and when he died 1 got appointed to IL.But it’s too confining—l don’t like to be shut in. I’m going to just cut loose, go somewhere, maybe to Albany. If anything breaks for me, I'll stay there.” Jennie went out and found herself face to face with Wick Middleton, for the immediate Instant unrecognizable tn a shabby raincoat and old hat.“Ot all things!" he exclaimed.

Four Youths Sought For Railroad Fire INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Police searched today for four teen-aged youths who set a $4,000 fire to a caboose and flat car on a Pennsylvania railroad siding in Indianapolis. The youths were seen fleeing from the blazing . caboose. Firemen said the blaze was started when the boys saturated a box of fuses with kerosene obtained from railroad lanterns found in the caboose. The culprits then trailed the kerosene out the caboose and under the adjoining flat car where they lit it.

You said you’d like to meet her and she wants to meet you.” He put his hand under her elbow and turned her around. “1 want you to see my library!" She walked along with him. ' 2 Nettle's greeting was hearty. “I’ve wanted to meet you, Miss Todd. Take off those wet things. Wick, hang them in the shed. Sit down, Miss Todd, in this rocker, while 1 lay another place. Hope you like creamed chipped beef ?” "On Net’s biscuits,” said Wick”’ from the shed door. “And youUL say afterwards that you never tasted anything like it!” "Go along, Wick. Miss Todd, he flatters me just so that I’ll keep on fattening him up!” “The basket you sent up to Cindy—you were very kind,” said Jenme. “ 'Twas nothing. I worried about the child —about all ot you, with those stoves." "We’re managing very well,” said Jennie. "Though we’re not - baking anything. " After lunch he suggested that they go tnto the living-room to see >us books. „ “Now, Wick, how do you know Jennie’s interested,” protested Nettie. "But 1 am,” said Jennie. A pleasant, old-fashioned room with .comfortable shabby chairs, tables, tamps, and his books on plain shelves against one wall. ““Oh!” said Jennie eagerly, going to them. “Mostly old titles—some were my father's, others I've bought here and there, second-hand. It’s a weakness of mine. But they’re good company.” - ' "Yes,” said Jennie, thinking iff ' the old» oookshop where she nad been so nappy. When they went back to the kitchen Nettie was putting some glass jars into a small basket. "Currant jelly—l made it day before yesterday. 1 thought you and your sister and Cindy would like some of it—it you don’t mind carrying it with you.” “Oh, thanks! No, I won't mind— I’m going to get that taxi man to drive me back. 1 have to get some supplies at the store. We'll enjoy it!" Jennie said, as they went through the gate, "I like your cousin Nettie.” Wick looked pleased. “Run in often to see her. You go to the market now and I’ll pick you up there and drive you home.” "No, no,” said Jennie quickly. Wick said: “I think I understand. I’ll get hold of Ed Pauly. Tell him to stop for you.” He walked with her to the market, carrying the basket ot jelly, the umbrella over her head. As they reached the store they saw Hester’s big car drawn up by the curb across the street, Hester alone in IL They saw Hester give them one sweeping glance, then turn her head away as if she had not seen them. - ...
