One of the greatest horse races of all time will occur Wednesday when two of the best, Nashua and Swaps meet for a 8100,000 purse, at Washington Park in Chicago. Both horses have arrived and are working out at the track. Swaps won the Kentucky Derby from Nashua and hae been winning ever since. So has Nashua. 0- o Frank T. Mills, state commissioner of revenue says Indiana is in good financial condition with 76 million dollars still on hand. He points out that it costs 26 million dollars per month to operate Indiana but they hope to reduce this, we presume, before campaign time. It wouldn’t be a bad idea whatever the reasons, for tthe economical effort. —o—ol— Dr. Lee De Forest known as the “father of radio" was 82 years old the other day and stated he wanted to live long enough to be invited as a plane guest on an actual trip to the moon. We sure wish him good luck, but fast as we seem to be going these days, we doubt if he or any other inventor or scientist will make .it. De Forest says they have already bounced messages off the old “green fellow’s” hide. —a—o — Old Duke Snyder has gone along for quite a while as the real home run hitter and batting leader. For the past month or so he has been slipping and he can’t get used to it. He fell down the other night and the fans booed him until he exploded. He sure exploded but the next day he said he didn’t mean what he said for all the fans, as some of them are genuine. “You can't beat fun at the old ball park,” says Bert Wilson. ——o o The Social Security Act is now twenty years old. It became the law August 14, 1935 and while there were many criticisms at the time of its passage, most of them have been proved wrong. Amendments have been added and the law is now recognized as an established part of the American way of life and millions have accepted

it as the greatest act for security that possibly could have happened. Credit should be given the late Franklin Roosevelt for his keen look into the future and the adoption of such a means of providing an income for many and improving business. 0 0 The Hospital:— One of the most important services of a good community, is a good hospital. Adams county, for many years has had an excellent county hospital. The present personnel headed by Superintendent Thurman Drew and Superintendent of Nurses Marie Felber is the most efficient ever had. The Adams county Memorial hospital is blessed with a strong Board of Trustees. Because of the growth in population in the county, present facilities at the hospital have become too small. Our hospital does a lot with a little, but more rooms are needed. The trustees have asked for a modest appropriation to pay for the expenses of getting some expert advice and assistance with a view to providing more rooms and additional facilities to maintain that high standard which we have always boasted. We believe that the board is taking the proper action. There are to be no hastily drawn plans. People will "be consulted; People from all parts of our county and also experts in the hospital field will be questioned concerning just what our needs are and will be. This is an Important project, because an addition to the present hos-. pital and addition of facilities • will cost money. And an expenditure of money means a bond is-: sue. rtvlc leaders In evety cdm-l munity in the county have' pledged their assistance in help-I ing guide the hospital board on the proper course. We believe the project is a worthy undertaking and we sincerely hope that every resident of Adams county will give the matter most serious thought, with a view to assisting the hospital board in determining its course. We know that Super intendent Drew and all the members of the board will be glad to have suggestions from all of you.

CHAPTER ONE ADAM LAIRD happened to marry Ann Oatman. He might just as well, just as easily and as reasonably, have married Linda or Pinky—he might just as easily have - ’len in love with them. And they with him. Adam was a nice-looking, cleancut chap, with an engaging, boyish manner which appealed to women; therefore his choice of women was wide. But he chose Ann. She was sweet, and she was pretty—but maybe Adam married her because be knew her before he met Linda or Pinky; maybe It was because, at that period in his life, he was vulnerable. The time was 1946, and Adam Laird had been out of the Seabees for more than a year. He’d served as boss carpenter, and had done a fine job. Had he had more formal schooling, he might have done something about studying architecture. But that, he decided, could come later. Just at first, since he had saved quite a lot from his pay, he would try taking a few contracting jobs on f his own. His father had died during the war, but Adam could have worked for any contractor in that part of Missouri. However, he wanted to be his own boss, work out his own ideas. If he failed, he still could work for .Another man. Or go to school College. Meanwhile, he seemed to have a talent for realizing ideas, bis own as well as those in the minds of other people. That first year he put up screens and built a porch. He converted a house into two apartments, and got his first contract to build a new house from scratch. It was a nice problem, and he was bubbling with enthusiasm for it when he walked into the office of the Kennerly Lumber company on that summer morning. In that mood, he was especially surprised, and pleasantly, too, to find Ann sitting behind the desk, instead of old Mr. Belcher. Ann lifted her brown eyes to him, and her soft red lips parted a little to show very white teeth. T f* •’Well,': said Adaht, -where did you come from?” “I'm the new office girl," Baid Ann with dignity. “You mean you're going to be here right along?” “If 1 make good . . .” "You’ll make good," said the tall, blue-eyed man. ‘‘l'Ll give you all my business.” "That's wonderful," said Ann. “At least—l hope it is." .“I hope it is, too," said Adam, laughing.

And the first thing ootn Knew, he was sitting on the corner of her desk, telling Ann all about the house. It was to be for a man confined to a wheel chair. It must sit flat on the ground with no sills and if there were ramps, they must be on very slight inclines, and— He went on and on’and didn’t i get any work done that morning, ' except that Ann’s ideas, coupled with his own, had just about i solved the problems of the house. After that Adam visited Ann at i her office frequently and soon , came to believe he had fallen in love with her. To Ann, Adam seemed the handsomest man on earth, the most thrilling; out of all the girls who would surely be ready to love him, why had he picked herT “This girl's different, son,” Adam told himself. “She’s a nice girlsweet and decent and fine. You want to watch your step, boy.” They were tn »ove, and for the rest of that summer, in the good clean smell of fresh-sawed lumber, and then surrounded by the sharp ! pungency of paint and varnish, , they grew to know the warmth of their love, to cherish their fa- ' miliarity with it and with each 1 other. i In the house which he had built, I he said to her one day: “We’re 1 going to get married, Ann." She walked over to the case- ! ment windows and worked one of 1 them. She wanted to marry ’ Adami But where could they live ’ and on what 7 She’d had too much ' of sharing other people’s homes. ‘ “1 wish this were our bouse,” she murmured. _ 1 He strode to her. "I'U build you a house!” he promised. She looked up, trying to see his face, but he held her so close that 1 about all she could see was his chin. “Oh, Adam, could you?” she breathed. “Sure could," he promised ex- ‘ citedly. “Could you ..." She broke off. Then, visibly taking her courage in hand, she began again. If they were going to be married, she bad a right to ask—to know—- " Could you afford it?" she asked. Adam held her close. The way he felt about Ann— “1 can afford anything you want, Ann,” he said rashly. “1 may nave a little trouble meeting my payroll, but for you—with you—even going broke looks good'." It was lovers' talk, and Ann knew it. Relished IL That night it was black dark when he drove her to see a build- ’ Smtart. Distributed to Kia*

mg lot. But they went back many times, and discussed its merits. On the lot there stood one particularly fine tree. A red oak, it was, straight and tali On an autumn day, the sun coming through its leaves cast a rosy glow upon the lovers. “It would be,” said Ann, leaning back against his circling arm, "a shame to cut down that tall tree." Adam squinted up at it- and hunted through his pockets for his sketch pad. "No need to cut tt down," he said, his pencil moving around it—see—and make a terrace with flagstones. The car shelter here, our bedroom here —in a square U . . ." Wuen they had been married for two years, there developed a great boom if house building and remodeling tn Kennerly. So Adam was very busy. He kept three crews at work, and spent a long day riding from jot to job. His evenings were occupied with figuring and planning. ! Ann was busy, too. She served at Adam's secretary. ' One day Adam sat thoughtful In recent weeks f deep line had ; etched itself between his eyes. “Let’s look at our books," he said gravely. “I haven’t made any mistakes!" Ann laughed. — i “Na But maybe I have." “What do you mean?" Adam looked at her oddly, a bit ’ sadly. “In running a contracting ' business," he said, “there are four b steps a man has to take all at 1 once. Get Jobs, get paid tor Jobs, 1 get men to work on the Jobs and ’ keep money on hand to pay those ! men." "There’s still another one,” said 1 Ann helpfully, onghtly. “To pay your material bills.” 1 "You’re right," said her young busband, still as solemn as an owl ' "But those things straighten out ’ l— the bank balance gets low, and then it gets better—-we hope." “Uh-huh." She didn’t really understand figures. Not what they ; meant. Adam chewed his lip. [ “Oh. things will be ail right," Ann assured him. “I suppose we shouldn’t nave built a house for ! ourselves so soon.” She looked to Adam to deny this, to reassure her. ’ And he ”d, z “T’U manage,” he said. “It may ' take a bit of doing, but I’ll make 1 it through to grass." To himself he said desperately, "I’ve got ta Surely she can see how things are. But I’ll manage—somehow.” Nevertheless, his way of “managing" struck Ann without warning. .
