The more will be made as quickly as possible, school authorities raid after conferring with the contractors. Labor Day week-end was a banner one for Decatur’s parks. Crowds visited both Memorial park and Hanna-Nuttman park for picnics and for the children to make use of the slides and rides. Both parks are well equipped with everything necessary for a picnic, large or small and all summer long hundreds of people of the Decatur area and even people from a radius of a hundred miles took advantage of these facilities. 0 0 Headed by the Decatur police force, the annual campaign to provide safety for school children has started. Police officers will be stationed every day of the school year at strategic points where children cross the streets going to and departing from schools. Each school also furnishes volunteers to guide children across streets. Motorists are ashed to join the campaign and drive with caution near school crossings.

Friday of this week and will enter national competition Saturday Jp ftß Utatal hflftfftti<MA baseball champion tournament The event wffl be a double elimination affair and the Decatur entry is regarded as one of the outstanding of the nation. Every sports fan in the area wishes the Klehk entry Success, as northeastern Indiana’s representative. We believe that the local entry has the personnel to turn the trick and bring home a national title. At any rate, we are sure the Klenketeers will give a good accounting in the tourney.

An early season football game of interest to all Hoosier sport fans will be the Indiana. Notre Dame game at South Bend Saturday afternoon September 24. Each year Indiana alumni have high hopes of a successful season and almost each year the Irish let the air eat of the Crimson’s tire. Maybe because the Irish lost a lot of excellent players by graduation, Indiana fans have hope of a closer than usual game—but those Irish often riddled by loss of stars come right back to be in the scrap for national honors. This year doesn't seem to indicate anything different. ♦ 4>One thing sure about the proposed tax rate of $5.32 for Decatur Washington and the proposed rate of |5.37 for Decatur Root, is that in accordance with the statutes, these rates can't be increased during any of the steps now taken before the rate becomes official. The county council can reduce some of the proposed rates; the tax adjustment board can reduce any of them, except those set by law and the board of tax commissioners can reduce any of them, but not a single board or commission can Increase any of the rates. An interesting event, which is each year becoming more embedded in. Decatur as a tradition, will be the fifth annual Sunday School parade to be held Saturday afternoon September 24. Rev. Herald Welty, pastor of First Missionary church started the parade idea in Decatur five years ago as a means of stimulating attendance in Sun day school, after vacations were „qyer and..people J?£re back at_ home to resume their regular habits. Each year more Church Sunday schools joined the parade and this year the parade is a project of the Decatur Ministerial association. The purpose of the march down the main thoroughfares of Decatur is to call to the attention of all people, the important part the Sunday Schools play in the Christian religion of Decatur. It’s a worthy undertaking and one which is annually received with much interest by the people who witness it. e.

SYNOPSIS Business reverses had forced Adam Xfflrd to sell ths home which he had built tn Kenneriy. Missouri, for Ann. his bride Unhappy la ths small apartment to which the Lairds had moved. Ann found solace tn volunteer work at the local hospital. Here she met Dr. Alexander, a not-too-happiiy married man of great charm, with whom she could very easily fail in love. Adam, too. had found new diversion in the dark dynamic person of Linda VanSanta nurse on the hospital staff. The tj.lnis' marital relations became badlv strained. CHAPTER SEVEN A MAN did better tn business, and in everything else, if he played things square. Ann nad a fault or two; Adam nad several. But they were marrieu, and they'd best make out on that basis. He'd stop thinking about Linda, and making chances to see her. So he declared. But, of course, he went right on thinking about Linda and seeing ner every chance he got, or could make. Now and then he worried about himself and how nappy he felt whenever be did see her. And about the devices he used —to be happy. He'd spy ner car parked tn a certain block on Main street- He’d find an open space nearby, and remember that the first aid kit needed some items. Pushing his hat back on his bead, ne would go into the drug store, seemingly unaware that there was a soda fountain with various people seated on the tow stools before it, among them a long-legged, dark haired girl in a gold corduroy coat. He bought his tape and metaphin and started out . . . “You’re not speaking to your friends?’’ Her voice could always set waves a-going in tils blood. And he’d end up straddled on the next stool, ordering a cup of coffee, asking Linda how she’d been —and what was new. After fifteen minutes of this he'd leave her still sitting there. It wasn't much. It wasn’t anything, really out it gave him a great deal of pleasure. This interest, this excitement he felt about Linda Van Sant —he saw the same thing happening to tus friends, or knew that it bad happened. Even to Ann’s brother, WendeL Later in the week Adam stopped In to Wendel’s office and after they had talked awhile the latter said to him: “You and Ann bad some kind of row T There's talk goin' round." “About me and Ann ?” “Well—yea About the way you sold her bouse behind the girl's back. Her friends knew What that house meant to Ann, and she wasn't very good at hiding how she felt when she lost IL” Adam said: “She didn’t tell you —or those friends—why I sold it?” Wendel turned to look at him tn surprise. “Why, no ... Oh, we got the impression that you made a nice profit.” “I sold it for what it cost me

Heiress Died Soon After Injections Mixture Os Roots And Herbs Given PHILADELPHIA (INS) — Pathological tests disclosed today that Mrs. Doris Oestreicber died within two hours after a mixture of roots and herbs was injected into her body on Aug. 24.

to build." There was a line 01 glia-. tening white above Adam's Ups. “1I —nad to sell it, WendeL Or go broke completely." Wendel whistled. “1 was closer to bankruptcy than 1 ever mean to be again.” His brother-in-law drew a deep breath. -. “Ann,” said Adam stiffly, “could have told that to you and her friends, if she'd wanted to.” "She didn’t tell us. “1 nad aver-extended myself. Got married, and built the house to please Ann —but it all came too soon after I’d set myself up tn business. Then 1 opened my eyes and realized that 1 was on the rocks." "Adam ?” “Yeah?" “Did Ann know that you were in so deep?" "She must have known. She Handled all my bookkeeping—yet sne acted as if she didn’t nave the slightest idea. 1 don’t know—l tried to tell ner there was no other way—she wouldn’t let me explain, or even say 1 was sorry.” “Did you both get mad?" Adam considered this. Yes, be bad got mad. But bis anger bad not been a patch o. the crimson rage which now swept through ms brain to realize that Ann nad not said one word to defend ms selling ner house! She'd let people think he’d simply accepted a tempting offer, made some easy money! “Just the same,” Wendel was saying, on a plane oi nigh morality, “1 still don’t believe you're playing it smart to dp what you are doing—it’ll hurt you as well as Ann. Quarrels and misunderstandings aren't unusual, Adam, in a marriage! It you handle them right, they—” Adam jumped to his feet “We haven't quarreled!” he shouted. "Well, good for Ann. Os course, the way a wife handles these things makes a difference —a lot of difference,” said WendelL •'1 was tn a nasty mess once,” he went on, “woman trouble. My wife found out ibout the affair, but smart little Veda didn’t say one word to me. Pretty soon the whole thing blew over. As you can see, we're O.K_ now. Got my wife, kids, everything." “1 wish," cried Adam, "you'd get said what you have tn your mind! There’s nothing tor Ann to be level-headed about! I had to sell the house, and we neither one liked IL Other than chat, we've been married oetter’n two years and the haze has settled a little. I guess you could say we’re not crazy in love any more. Maybe each oi us is ripe for some outside —er—interest, or influence — but there's nothing wrong! I swear there isn’t, Wendel!” "I’ll take your word for that,’’ Ann’s brother agreed. "But just the same, you’d better watch it, boy.”

bark sometimes used medically to induce abortions The time element in the beauty’s death has been described as the major factor in determining who was responsible for the illegal fatal operation. Meanwhile. Morirs Wolf, attorney for . the victim's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman R. Silver, said fie*planned to consult Mrs. Silver’s psychiatrist, Or. A. M. Ornsteen. to see whether her condition would permit an Interview by authorities. Mrs. Silver, who is regarded as the “key witness’ in the case, has been under medical care for bereavement shock since her daughter succumbed." Mrs. Oestreicher eloped two months ago with Earl Oestreicher. Miami Beach motorcycle patrolman. She had been separated from Oestreicher for two weeks at the time of her death but the policeman Insists that his wife’s return home was prompted by a desire to have her parents view the marriage with favor.

“j've Been watcning it," said “Nwtoody stays wi you know. Not even with the other girt" Adam walked out to where he had left the pick-up. “I hope you do believe that I’ve done nothing . . ." “Maybe that’s the whole trouble. Maybe you should do something." Adam’s head snapped around. “With . . “Yes. Or your wife.” That, thought Wendel Oatman, watching the pick-up speed down the street, should give the lad something to smoke tn ms pipe. Van Sant wasn’t going to give up Bell and his money for Adam—though, admittedly, Adam would be more tun to - kiss. When he found out those truths, Adam was going to be mt mighty nard! It was ’-he kind ot thing, ot course, wmch one man could not tell another. Adam “smoked ms pipe.” He spent Unity-six hours feeding the fires ot hurt that Ann would not, had not, explained ms reasons tor selling her nouse. She’d known, and she could nave told. 6Well, M wasn’t going tc go around exp'- ning! He wished he hadn’t said a word to Wendel tn his own defense! He’d— Gosh, a house was only a house! A man could always build another one. Yet he couldn’t forget the look on Ann's face when he’d told her the ncusc was sold. A week after his talk with Wendel, Adam laid a house plan in front oi Ann, and asked her it she knew the place over on Crescent where that telfow had been building a house cor himself. —’Near the Hollow?" “Yep. He’s got the basement in, and some utility connections. Now he’s run out of money, and he’s offered to sell the thing to me for a hundred more than he paid for the lot. 1 thought maybe we could build a bouse on it, for ourselves. Now. this plan . . Ann hadn’t looked at the plan. “If it has more than one closet," she said spunkfiy, "I’ll sign." Adam laughed. “We’ll build the closets first, and hitch the house on to em." For a time, Adam thought the house matter had been his whole trouble with Ann. Now that he was taking definite steps to make amends she was more like ner old self. He was glad he’d thought ot the house Ann was ready to .contribute suggestions; tt was ner idea to finish the basement of the projected house and use it for a carpenter shop. Lockett could do shop work, though his back cast kept him from heavy carpentry. They could put a phone tn there with the same number as the one in the apartment; Lockett could handle such calls as came when Ann was away. (To Es Continued)

Historical Tours In Indiana Are Unique

INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—A palatable recipe for acquainting Americans with their regional heritage is the unique vacation offering of Indiana. The recipe has been requested by other states, but so far, none has tried to duplicate the non-pro-fit Hoosier historical tours, sponsored by four state universities and colleges and the Indiana historical bureau. History is a word that inspires many to depart for livelier realms, but this approach has the popular appeal of a strawberry festival combined with a traveling sideshow. But it’s the people who travel in these tours, not thfe show. Dr. George Blake, tour director, explains that the followers of these trips seldom are history students. Farmers. housewives, school teachers, doctors, newsmen, mail carriers and salesmen are generally among the entourage. The format of the tours is casual. Anyone who wishes may congregate at a central meeting place designated in news stories and private mailings and the trek is on. The first tour this fall will be Sept. 24-25 and is concentrated on the canal era. Richmond, Cambridge City Liberty in eastern Indiana are focal points. After congregating at the historical museum in Richmond Sept. 24 at 1 p. m., the history on wheelers will close the day at’the Whitewater State park, to start anew on Sept. 25 with a jaunt along Whitewater canal and a stop that afternoon at the Little Grove Baptist church, oldest in the state on its original foundations. The second tour. Oct. 8-9 Is timed for the scenic autumn glory of “Brown county, hill studded mecca of artists and ruralized cosmopolites. The third tour of the fall will be Oct. 15-16. and will be a trip arronged by the Indiana Sans of Pioneers, and is the last for 1955. A springtime tour for eighth graders is being planned by Dr. Blake in place of the former fourth fall tour. ■. . - Dr. Blake does a dry run on each tour before he undertakes the guiding role at the head of a long line of automobiles. One of the biggest worries is losing a tour member and he needs to know the most likely places a driver might make a wrong turn. Many of the places visited in past tours have revived accounts of the mysterious Mound Builders; of the futile Indian battle to stop, the white man’s westward progress; the English speaking peoples' struggle to wrest this ground from the French; the patriots’ successful ousting of the English during the revolution; emerbence of civil government as part of the Northwest territory. and the young state's role in the Civil War.

But modern day places, such as visits to the state's newest industry. gypsum mining, and to Notre Dame University’s internationally known germ free laboratory have been among past attractions. At each point, someone familiar with the spot's history explains what took place. Anecdotes not included in school textbooks, and recollections about colorful personalities of the past enliven the

talks. Sometimes the lore is dramatized, particularly for Saturday night sessions which often are around campfires. Blake, who is professor of history at Franklin College, explained: "I never know whether I will have two or two hundred on any tour. Attendance depends on the weather and the locations visited." Tour travelers often drive over dirt roads and sometimes must abandon wheels and walk. Dr. Blake laughed: “Our ancestors weren’t always so thoughtful as to have the event happen where the road would be paVed.” One of the favorite tours is a boat trip on the Ohio river. No walking. 5 By age, the re-trheers of history have ranged from infants to a man 82 years old, but the bulk of the tourists are between 30 and 60. There is no charge for joining the tours. The venture is a noncommercial project of Indiana University, Purdue University. Ball State Teachers College, Indiana State Tdacners College and the Indiana historical bureau. The first one was held 23 years ago under the guidance of the late Dr. James Lockridge, who was tOur director until he became ill.
