We wonder why, with all the effort of the administration to please people, the alley near Worthman field, between Eleventh and Thirteenth streets has been left covered with dust. This alley is used about as much as a good many streets in Decatur and residents in the vicinity complain that there is a constant stir of dust all fall. Os course there are several Democrats living In the vicinity. 0 o We noticed Sunday morning, in examining the sample automatic "broom named Wayne”, which has been In Decatur now long enough to make us wonder just a little bit if. maybe it's already been bought, (which isn’t completely unusual in Decatur), that the circular broom at the left rear which swirls the dust when in operation has been worn down almost to the metal. Housewives would complain if their brooms wore down that quick and they don’t pay *9,000 for them either. ——o 0 Autumn will soon be with us. Plan now to spend a day driving through Adams county. You will see some of the most beautiful colors that can be found any where in the middlewest. The county highways are in excellent condition, and a drive through all parts of our own county will be pleasant and most revealing. You don’t have to go several hundred miles distant to see the beautiful fall colors. 0 O — Adams county’s tax rates now will go to the state board of tax commissioners tor final hearing, ’ and that board then will officially set the rate, payable In 1956. It's hard to get taxpayers interested in the several steps necessary to set taxes, and fortunately, the tax structure is in good hands in Adams county. However, many people might have some constructive tax which might save us all many dollars. As taxpayers, every citizen of the county still has another opportunity to appear and be heard. After September 29 it will be too late. It won't do you any good to complain next May when you pay your taxes.

SYNOPSIS built in Kennerly, Missouri, for Ann, his bride. Unhappy in the small apartment to which the Lairds had moved. Ahn found solace in volunteer work at the local hospital. Here she met Dr. Alexander, a not-too-happily married man of great charm, with whom she could very easily fall in love. Adam, too. had found new diversion in the dark, dynamic person of Linda VanSant. a’ nurse on the hospital staff. The Lairds’ marital relations became badly strained until they found a new interest in building a new; home together. But Linda VanSant soon dispelled their hope of peace in that small haven. Ann. in quiet rage, watched helplessly as Linda pursued her busband. scheming for his time and attention. Then one day Linda overstepped, as most gamblers do. She hinted to Adam that he break with Ann and wed her. It was a suggestion which sent this frightened husband scurrying protectively homeward to his wife. Ana Providence further intervened by taking the Lairds off to New Mexico where Adam would work on a government job. — CHAPTER ELEVEN THINGS had been getting a little out of hand for Ann at the hospital. From the first she had liked the chief surgeon far too well She was too much aware of him. His physical presence disturbed her deeply. She was always trying to please him, and not in any impersonal way. She said things, and did things, with Curtis’ approval always in view. She had called him Curtis first in het- thoughts, then once she shyly spoke the name at a time when they were alone. He was driving her home from the hospital— Because his wife was so utterly careless about her appearance, Ann increased her natural tendency toward neatness to a meticulous attention to all items of good grooming, her skirt hems, the set of a jacket collar, the crispness of her blouse and gloves. The suit which Adam admired, and the little white hat, had been selected, she acknowledged with a guilty blush, to attract Curtis Alexander's attention, to win his admiration. He’d voiced that admiration, and she'd gone about for days with her feet eighteen inches above the floor. Os course, he knew that; his was a keen and diagnostic eye. His smile had taken on a slightly different quality, which increased Ann’s "excitement.” She called her feeling that, afraid to put a more, honest name to it. He talked to her intimately of his family problems. "I want a son any man does —but Mary doesn't do too good a job with the girls. There's nothing wrong with Sally and Mollie that a good firm 'no' Mary does a lot of Lalkinfjgbout emotional blocks and that sort of thing—but it’s all talk. The girls are growing up like little savages.” During the past summer, “Mary" had taken the children east to a college where a euthenics course was being given; Ann didn’t know much about it except that the doctor snorted in derision whenever he thought ol what hu wife was

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LIB I 0— 0 Q.Aioes a woman introduce her husband to another woman as “Mr. Barnes”? A. No. The proper form would be: “Mrs. Turner, may I introduce my husband?” A woman does not use ’"Mr.” when referring to or introducing her husband. — Q. Do you think It necessary to have the approved “salad forks,” or do the medium-sited regular forks serve the same purpose? A. One may provide any shape or size of fork one wishes. The medium-sized is quite in good taste. Q. Is it proiper for a man to cross in front of a woman, while they are walking together? A. No; the woman should have the right of way whenever possible. -and the man should cross behind her Instead of in front of her.

doing at a time when she was needed at home. His mother had suffered a stroke and had to be hospitalized, then moved to a nursing home. “She won’t live long. If only I could make her last weeks happy in my own home!” Ann tried to listen without feeling too much. But she agreed with the big doctor, and could not help sympathizing deeply. And her feeling came through, of course. Curtis had every reason, if not a right, to look elsewhere for womanly comfort and understanding. Os course, Ann was Adam's wife, and had no right to offer consolation to another man. She had warned herself a hundred times—so it was with relief when she told Dr. Alexander that she must give up her work at the hospital because she and her husband were moving to New Mexico. She had to get away—and the sooner the better. He stood gazing down at her, a big man in a fine suit of dark blue Shantung. His eyes were wise, his mouth sensitive. “I’m .sorry,” he said deeply. Her eyes darkened, and her lips trembled a little. “I am, too,” she said breathlessly. -“Is that why you are going?” he asked. Ann’s lips parted as if she would speak. “You don’t need to run away from me, Ann,” he told her. She turned away, stopped. He saw her head lift, her shoulders straighten. “I do need to,” she said tensely. He came on into the little office and closed the door behind him. He put his hands on her arms, turned her so that he could search her face. "We could . . .” he began. She shivered. They could! She knew full well that they could, but—“l don’t want to,” she said passionately. “I mean—l want to be good, to do the right thing! Please let me, Curtis? Please!” She was asking for help. For strength where she was weak. All the rest of her life Ann was to think of Curtis Alexander, to speak of him, as a fine, good man. Because, on that morning, he drew her gently to him, he bent gently and kissed her cheek. And released her. “You’re exactly what you want to be,” he said softly in his deep voice. He stood very still for a moment, looking at her. Then he opened the doop and went out She was doing the right thing, she told herself emphatically as she walked home from the hospital that afternoon. The only right thing. Dr. Alexander had his wife and his family. His obligation was to them. Just as Ann’s was to Adam. The difficulties which existed for all cf them were not hopeless, they could be cleared up—or at least

Youth Groups Fighting Juvenile Delinquency

(Editor's note: This is the second of six articles showing how organisations and communities are preventing or correcting juvenli^. delinquency.) L By JACK LOTTO (1. N. 8. Staff Writer) In the Revolutionary War days, the minute men chased the British Redcoats through the streets of historic Arlington, Mass. Two centgries later, the Bay State town of 50,000 inhabitants is proudly taking bows tor its victory in another kind of tight. The town has whipped the juvenile delinquency - problem and hag/ a “no delinquency” record hailed as the finest in the nation. Police departments from most of the 48 elates have written to ask how they did it. Most observers agree a good deal of the credit goes to Archie Bullock, who retired recently as Arlington chief of police after 24 years in the post. Through his efforts back in 1937 a group of civic minded townsmen put up their time and money to erect the Arlington Boy’s Club. They organized fully equipped baseball teams, hockey teams, a rifle club, classes in magic and an orchestra to play for free Friday night dances. Today, there are no boy gangs or girl Juveniles in Arlington. “Baseball teams are our single biggest asset,” said Bullock. >‘lt teaches boy sa spirit of fair play and teaches them to abide by the rules.” There are 3,500 boys in the 10-16 age group in Arlington. More than 2,000 belong to the club, which has a large gym, game room's, library, a room for arts and crafts. The senior room has a pool table and card tables. The police department, indirectly, operates 16 fully equipped baseball teams. All the boys in town get a chance to try out. Those chosen get ■ uniforms, bats, gloves, etc. The town lies in the heart of greater Boston's 2,500.000 population, but bad boys keep out of

kept small. Dr. Alexander proba&ily could not force his invalid mother into his home, but he could make Mary dress more neatly, and do a better job with the girls. As for Ann's problems, she and Adam would start afresh in Santa Fa They’d establish a home. And have children. Adam seemed agreed on that He had managed, he told himself, to pull himself together. Just as he had hoped, his fever about Linda had subsided. That episode was over. • • • It was early spring before thejt got off for New Mexico, what with a certification for Adam’s job, the FBI check and the disposal of their interests in Kennerly. They went west by train, deciding to buy a car after they got to New Mexico. Ann sat with her nose pressed to the cold windowpane, gazing in fascination at the mountains which she wad seeing for the first time, excited to identify the white streaks and stippling as snow. It was April! She was awed by the general green and red tones of the landscape, the tumbled rocks, the sparse vegetation. "D’you like it?" Adam asked her. She didn’t turn. “I don’t know. It’s different” They had to change Jo a bus at Lamy—Santa Fe was the capital but had no direct train service. "Wow!” said Adam at their first sigAt of the city nestled on the mesa with the mountains rising grandly behind it "Where’s Los Alamos?” asked Ann. The driver turned in his seat "You folks for the Project?” he asked. “Yes,” said Adam, “but we’ll live in Santa Fe.” * "Oh, construction, eh?” ‘That’s right.” The driver slowed. “Los Alamos is on up the road,” he told them. “At night you can see it plain. But now, if you look where I’m pointing, you can see lights winking—probably the sun on all those glass windows they got up there.” “We make windows out of glass in Missouri, too,” said Ann crisply. “Yeah, but wait'll-you see them windows!” • ’ ’ . The bus driver wore a rolled brimmed Stetson and tight jeans. Ann sat back in the seat and sniffed. Missouri wasn’t all bad. The quarters which had been provided for them turned out to be a half of a low adobe duplex. It was a "cute” place, and very smalt The living room and bedroom were of fair size, the bath was a cubby with a shower and the other fixtures packed into a tiny space. The kitchen was so small that Ann had to step into the living room if she opened the oven door. There was a small service porch, big enough for a garbage pail. Adam assured her that it would do—and went off to Los Alamos. (To Be Continued;

Arlington. Police know all the local boys. Strangers are spotted instantly. _ In 1953, Arlington made 152 arrests in the 10 to 16 age group. Forty two were from out of town. Bullock said the club “supplied the lack of proyer suyervision an 1 training by parents for the children's leisure time." He added: "Today folks get married at an age when they know nothing about bringing up a family. If young parents knew how to train their children. we wouldn't have any juvenile delinquency problem. “Another thing about Arlington. We never take a boy to court for his first offense, unles it invplves sex. We-try to rehabilitate the bey. let him earn money to repay any damage, but we have to educate a lot of parents too.” Louis O. Magllo, executive director of the citizenship training group, affiliated with the Boston juvenile court, declared that court .records show that “boys who are actively engaged in wholesome and constructive activities seldom become involved with the law.” Judge John J. Connelly of the Boston juvenile court said he handles an average of 1.500 cases a year but "seldom, if ever.domemscouts appear as delinquents bebets of Boy Scout troops or club fore my court.” On the west coatfl, Los Angeles, with a youth population of 40 times that of Arlington, has thrown more than 500 playgrounds, recreation centers and clubhouses info thC battle to stem delinquency. While official figures show that the police department last year handled 113.354 reports on boys and 14,994 reports on girls, experts say the Hollywood *youth counselor service of the YMCA is doing an exceptionally good job of prevention work. Youths who show delinquency tendencies Or present problems in other ways are refered to the service by police, the schools and other community agencies with which it maintains close liason. Each counseldr handles between 40 and 50 boys at any one time. There is no set program in dealing with the kids as each boy’s problem is considered unique and handled accordingly. It was found most of the boys’ difficulties Stemmed from poor home environment. ’ The main problem is to gain the boys’ confidence. Once that is accepted, the counsellors act as soit of. "substitute fathers" to them. Many of the kids, when first referred to the service, feel that everybody is against them and have a "nobody gives a d.amn" attitude. E-go building is a big part «f the welfare workers' job. They help the kids have fun by taking them on outings, fishing, games, and excursions. Don Hayward, assistant genera', secretary for programs of the 24 branches of the YMCA, said this experimental program has proved successful. William Fredrickson. Jr., superintendent of recreation for the Lo< Angeles department of recreation and parks, described the Los li. dios Boys Club as "an outktarid- | ing example of success in the fight I against juvenile delinquency.”

Nearly half of the club’s 40 members have appeared before juvenile authorities before joining the club/ Only three of the boys ever have virtue to the attention of police since joining the club. The club’s manager, Ben Ornelas, said most of the boys come from broken or unstable homes where they feel neglected. “It's my job,” he declared?'" “to make them feel that they are not forgotten and that somebody does care about them and what they do.” Ornelaz feels this can best be accomplished by "building up their ego by allowing them to assume leadership of the club.” The boys, aged 16 to 21, meet every Thursday at the Benedict > playground — one of the 100 operated by the city -r- and make plans for picnic's, dances, excursions to nearby points of Interest, camping trips and sporting events. Ornelaz believes the size of the club Is an important factor for its success. The small membership enables him to give greater attention to the individual boy’s problems. To Illustrate the type of home life some of his boys have, Ornelaz told of "Joe.” an 18-year-old former club president. The youth was the sole support of his mother and nine brothers and sisters. He had been forced to quit school at 16 to go to work when the father deserted the family. After working hours he began running around with a gang and got in trouble with the police for fighting and petty thefts. Since joining he club, Ornelaz said, the I boy has had a spotless record. The club’s many activities keep him so busy he has no time to run around with gangs. The boys, mostly of Mexican de-’ scent, all come from -the “las' chance areas” of the city where, the delinquency rate is the high-1 est. They lean on him for advice and guidance for problems which go far beyond the club's activities. (Next: Pittsburgh's unique “hill city” junior government.)
