Are the boys and girls ready for school openings? It’s a very important date for them. 0 0 Cooler weather is on the menu locally for the next few days. Did you ever see taller corn in Adams county? Every place you drive the fields are beautiful. 0 o The many people of this area, Interested in the outcome of today's Union jurisdictional election at the Decatur General Electric plants, are invited to call 3-2171 late tonight for results of the voting. ——o Twelve persons were killed by automobile traffic accidents over last week-end in Indiana. One lad, now under arrest at Terre Haute after two victims died, admits be was driving 115 miles per hour. 0 0 A New Rochelle automobile sales company advertises; “Come in today with a dime and drive your new car home.” It sounds like this dealer was going all out for business, or else “all out of business." 0 0 This is the time of year when a trip around Adams county is just as invigorating as. any place In the United States. Green fields, fine highways and scenery which is almost out of this world, will greet you on every county highway. o 0 Clarence Manion, once a good Democrat but who came out for Eisenhower, now seems to have no party affiliations. He is predicting and evidently hoping to see a party founded On what sounds like an “isolation” basis. Capitol doesn’t interested. 0 0 *The Decatur board of works today advertised for bids for the automatic street broom. The bids will be opened Tuesday night, September 20 at 7 o’clock, day- . light saving time in the office of the clerk-treasurer. If the board decides to go ahead and try to jam through the purchase, the matter of the appropriation must still go through the city council.

Baseball games at Milwaukee have been practically sold out all summer and now the football games at Madison have made the University put out "SRO” signs for all their games. . 0 0 Chief of Police James Borders says that every effort will be exerted by his department this fall and winter to make the street intersections safe for school children. The most dangerous crossings at all schools will be patrolled again this year and each school has student patrols at all crossings., It's an important job! O 0 This year’s Decatur Klenks baseball team is perhaps the strongest semi-pro team to represent Decatur in the last twentyfive years. Owner Klenk has instilled in every player that desire to win, which is so important. The Klenk team is good for Decatur. Our representatives in the field of sport soon wil be up to a par with al lof the other things which make Decatur great. Congratulations to Mr. Klenk and his "Klenketeers.” 0 0— — That was a “lovely” game of ball between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals Monday night. It finally wound up with the pitchers throwing the ball at the batters heads. At one time Stan Musial held up his hand to prevent being struck in the face and so injured his hand that he was taken to a hospital for X-Rays. The Dodgers have not been getting the “breaks” recently and can’t take it apparently. The Dodgers finally won the game 9 to 3, but that score doesn't tell the exciting part of the game. Reminds us of the Bluffton-Decatur game of some fifty years ago.

oXMOPSIS The post-war housing shortage In Kennerly. Missouri, had Induced the newly wed Lairds. Adam and Ann. to engage in a home building business there. Adam, an experienced carpenter bad served with the Seabees during the war: Ann had been a secretary at the local lumber mill. So. bravely these Lairds pooled their knowledge, formed a partnership of sorts and set forth to build homes for the people of Kennerly. But they made the mistake of first -of all building a home for themselves. Need of cash for the business soon forced the sale of that non e, Ann’s “dream" house, a move which left her sullen,, and rebelious. CHAPTER THREE ADAM slammed his big hand down on his thigh when Ann told him she didn’t have much time anymore. “Why don’t you have time?” He stopped, though, before he pointed out that this small apartment should not occupy her as much as ... He waited. | “Oh,” she said airily, "I like to help with things for the church. They’re having a cooked food sale Saturday—and then 1 sit with Veda’s children sometimes. She doesn’t have a good maid.” Veda was her sister-in-law. In return for all the years when Ann had lived with Wendel and Veda, Adam could not object to her helping there. He sat thoughtful. “But the main thing 1 do,” Ann went on, after a pause, “is to take care of the clerical work for the blood bank." Adam looked at her in surprise. "You Knew they had one at the railroad hospital?” “Yes, but 1 didn’t know that you— You’re not getting paid tor it, are you?" "They couldn’t afford to pay much. No, I’m not being paid. But there’s quite a bit of clerical work —and — especially when there's been a bad accident, or a serious operation that-calls for more blood than we have on hand—l scurry around and get donors, talk them into giving blood, hold on to them until they do—” She wa. smjling, and Adam regarded her curiously. “You sound as if you like that work.” “I do like it! It’s— You don’t mind, do you, Adam?” “I guess a man couldn’t' mind work like that, Ann," he said grumpily. "Not without sounding more of a heel than rd want to sound." He said no more, and Ann picked up her book, but her mind was on this new interest which she had found. It was a wonderful thing, working for the blood bank! The thought that she helped save lives, restore health —and besides, she found the atmosphere of the hospital stimulating, the busyness, the friendliness and kindness of the personnel—especially of Dr. Alexander, the chief surgeon. He had been very kind to Ann. and understanding. In spite of being an extremely busy man, he had taken time to explain to her all about the blood bank. “You'll do the paper work more happily if you know what It’s all about" Os course she would, and did. She was grateful to Dr. Alexander. 1 His courtes” and interest con- I tinued. She began to look forward i to his appearance in the doorway t of the small office she used, to his CuniriahCiaSA bv i

Mrs. Alexander may have J trouble with the texture of her ’ hair, or maybe—" she broke off , lamely, embarrassed. “Does that cover crooked seams ( in her stockings, and the way her ( slip always shows?” - Ann looked at the big man in ’ surprised concern. A "1 shouldn’t talk this way," he admitted. "But 1 like neat women, Ann, and she Knows 1 do.” He talked to Ann about his children, too, and about ms mother. She was seml-lnvalld, but Mary wouldn’t-let her be brought to their home. "I’d keep a nurse,” the doctor defended his stand. "It doesn’t seem right not to nave her with us. She’d be some trouble, but I was some trouble to her in my time. Lt Mary ever gets into that state, will she want the girls to refuse her houseroom?” As she got to know him better, when she had met Mary, a friendly person, but undoubtedly frowsy, while Dr. Alexander was meticulous in his dress—-his suits beautifully tailored.- his accessories tn perfect taste —when she nad met the two plump little girls, Ann felt that she understood the big doctor’s problems. She didn’t offer much in the way of comment—and nothing in the way of advice —but she made a sympathetic listener. Often the doctor drove her home from the hospital. He Lived in her neighborhood, Ann nad no car—it seemed natural enough for him to do this. He was just being kind. And she was honestly surprised when Wendel, her brother, told her she’d better not ride around in Doc Alexander’s Caddie so often; it was making quite a little talk In town. She was so surprised that she flared up as notly as if that talk had some basis. "Why, that’s crazy! I don’t ride around. 1 work for the hospital blood bank. Everyone out there is very thoughtful” "Nobody sees you with anyone but the Doc." Ann's brother was a blond and florid man; his round face now was flushed, his eyes distressed about the conversation which he i had felt it his duty to have with I his pretty sister. “I’m just warn- i ing you to be. careful, kid,” hen said anxiously. 1 “Careful about what?
