Drive carefully during the autumn days when thousands will be looking at the beautiful season's leaf coloring which comes each year and can't be equalled any where in, the country. Keep both hands on the wheel as you look around. 0 0 Our propsed municipal rate could be lower, we believe, without jeapordixing any progress. Os course we could place all parking meter funds, at the end of any year, into the general fund. That definitely would lead to a lower tax rate and we would all benefit from it. _OO _ ; If we resided on North Twelfth Cinderway, the street of broken promises, and paid 8185 for a sewer tap-in and a 85.27 tax rate, we'd be pretty aggravated at the thought of the board of works spending thousands of dollars for a new broom. Maybe it should be called the “give them the works" board. 0 o Senator Morse, the Oregon man who was elected to the U. S. senate as a Republican but turned Democrat because he has never approved of the administration’s policies, is warning farmers in no uncertain language that they will also be wise to follow him. He doesn't believe the GOP wants to help the farmers and never will. •• 0 0 The experiment of state treatment for alcoholics in Indiana has completed two years of effort and the report is that 675 out of 900 so treated have recovered. Os the 900 only seventy-one have been women. It’s the right course and the treatments are "made in prisons as well as at Nash Center, operated by Indiana.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE next morning, Adam drove the whole way up the mountain with scarcely a glance at the scenery. He talked to himself as he drove, leaning forward across the wheel, his eyes drawn under the shadow of his hat. Doggone Ann, anyway! What had got into the girl? Ever since they’d come out here —and even back home —she’d been unaccountable. He slowed for the gate, showed his pass, which he kept with him always, and drove through. If it was that old grievance about Linda—he’d been somewhat at fault there, but he’d also pulled out in time. Having done that, the next move was Ann’s. Instead, she’d just let the whole matter continue to simmer, where, as he saw it, the wife should take definite steps ... Because what could he do if Ann wouldn't let him love her? All she had to do was to unbend, and stay that way—and as far as Adam was concerned, he’d wait now until she showed herself ready to wake up! He parked the truck, slammed the door so hard that it flapped open again, then he pulled his hat forward Over his eyes and started down the street. _ A man, coming out of the Post Office, greeted him jovially. “H’ya!” said Adam shortly, and went on. “Hey, Laird!” His friend's hand caught his elbow. Perforce, Adam stopped. The man was a young technician with whom Adam had worked out many problems. “What-for are you telling me to go to hell?” he asked. Adam managed a smile. ‘Tm sorry. I reckon I had my mind on other things.” “Better keep it off those things," said young Woodward, going on his way. “They’re murder!" Adam stood looking after him, a little shocked at the strength of his impatience with Ann, his resentment. He glanced at his watch —be. was twenty minutes early. He must have really driven “up the hilb” And that wasn’t , good. Not that hill. He looked around him at the stores with their broad, outward-sloping windows flashing in the clear sunlight, at the plane which constantly circled above the Project, at the Post Office. He grinned a little. This New Mexico was a wonderful place, but blue sky, thin air, mountains and all, in lots of ways it was just like Missouri. He was still mad. Doggone it, anyway! He had thought Ann would play fair. He never had been sure that she knew about Linda—but in any case, Adam had given up the woman. He’d come way out here, and he

was working hard —for Ann. For his wife. He went into the shadowed lobby, and stood before a rack of cards. There was one of the Post Office itself. Defiantly, he addressed that card to Linda Van Sant at the hospital. If she’d married by now and left there, it would be handed on, in a little town like Kennerly. Writing her name, he thought about how much he had liked Linda, and he almost wished he had not—Last night she would have talked to him about that job for the writer woman, helped him get his ideas set. She’d have let him love her, too. Linda knew a woman’s place in a man’s life, and what she could make of it. Ann might have known only vaguely about the Linda situation, but Adam felt sure she knew that she’d won out there. Yet she didn't seem inclined to follow up her victory, and make use of what she’d gained. She just sat on the fact that she was married to Adam and had her rights. He bought stamps affixed one, snapped the card into the slot and strode across the lobby. He opened the door and held it for two pretty, smiling girls. He grinned at them, and went on out. Why, almost any girl he looked at right this minute was friendlier and more pleasant than Ann was these days. She hardly ever laughed any more, or wanted to have fun. He strode down the walk to the job; he had his own little shanty, with a desk and telephone. He checked in and prepared to go to work, to put his private worries at the back of his mind. But just the same, no Tally good woman had better happen along just now! *, e * As the height of summer diminished, and its blistering heat gave way somewhat to more invigorating weather, Ann felt better physically. She gave up her wistful day-dreaming and was more inclined to get out and do things. She was tired of “punishing” Adam; she never had meant to continue her withdrawal from him. She wasn’t ready to apologize, but she tried to develop some interests into which he could be drawn, or to find ways to take part in hjs interests. She’d attended church ever since coming to Santa Fe; now she began to go to Auxiliary meetings, to meet people—and to be pleasant with them. Among the people she met was a tall, vividly beautiful young woman named Marcia Haggard, whom everyone called Pinky, for the be* of reasons. She had masses of bright red hair with which she could do amthuu:

ant failed to appear and affidavit was filed showing summons had been served. Divorce was granted to plaintiff and custody of three minor children was given to the plaintiff. Quiet Title Suit In the quiet title suit of Ward Bowman and Dorothy Bowman vs. Alfred Harrison, et al. Krick-Tyn-dall Co. entered appearance. Defendant First State Bank also answered a cross-complaint filed by Peter Koenig and wife. Estate Cases The estate of Oceano J. Zerkel was valued at $1,399.05 and no inheritance tax was found to be due. The estate of Elsie H. Haines was found to have a net value of $36,443.28 with tax due in the amount of $213.36. Final report was filed and is returnable Oct. 7. The Lewis E. Schaadt estate was found to have a net value of $3,Ji24.47 and no inheritance tax is due. A supplemental report was filed by the administrator in the estate of Amos H. Zimmerman. The report was examined and approved and the administrator was discharged. An obstinate man does not hold opinions, they hold him. —Pope.

Sometimes it hung free in a rippling mane upon her shoulders, sometimes she combed it into a swirl atop her head, or pinned it at the back of her neck with little velvet bows. She was a divorcee Mrs. Knapp Haggard, she callee herself. She was about Ann’s age and the two were both Pinky had come to the Lodge foi last winter’s skiing, and then hac moved to La Fonda. Now she thought she might like a house ir Santa Fe—perhaps she’d do a little writing. The climate suited her. It was all vague, her reasons foi being in town. But what did that matter, if she had the money, anc the inclination! Santa Fe hac plenty of people who might jusl as well Ifvp elsewhere. Because of the chance that she might build a house, Ann invitee Pinky to'dinner. If, through her. Ann could restore her own connection with Adam’s work . . She really was a bit ashamed ol herself on that count. After the meal she would suggest that Adam drive them out to see the Bohbnnk job—Pinky would jump at the chance of meeting a bona fide writer —and well, anyway, she asked Pinky for dinner. And Pinky came. Ann did not say much to Adair other than that she had invited s friend, a Mrs. Haggard whom she’e met at Church Guild and whe seemed interested in building e house. She didn't know what he hac expected of that friend, but certainly not the slim, vivid girl whe came running down their streel five minutes after the hour which Ann had set, her full blue skirt swirling about her knees, her hail streaming like live flames back from under a little blue Dutch cap. She carried a dozen red roses in a pink and white striped papei ‘‘toot,’’ and she came up their walk breathless and laughing. •‘Wow!" said Adam, getting tc his feet. Pinky heard him, and laughed gaily. Then she stood for a second take of Adam. “Why, Ann,” she cried, “you lucky dog!” They sat down to Ann’s’ good dinner, and Ann spoke regretfully of the pretty china and silver that was stored back in Missouri. "Oh, I know all about furnished apartments,” said Pinky. She turned to Adam. "Is it true that you build cute houses for crazy women?” she asked, her eyes round. "I want a house," she went on swiftly, “but I have so many dizzy ideas—Do you think you could carry them out?” He grinned. "Or persuade you different,” he drawled. " "And you know?” she laughed "I think I’d like being persuaded.' (To Ee Continued/

Youth Groups Fighting Juvenile Delinquency

YOUTH GROUPS (Editor's note: This is the last of six articles on the city by city fight against juvenile delinquency.) By JACK LOTTO (I. N. S. Staff Writer) Dramatic results have been achieved in New York in converting teen-aged delinquents into useful citizens. While the spotlight has been focused on murderous young gangs in some sections of New York, the New York City youth board has quietly gone about the business of reducing delinquency —or keeping it in check—in other areas. From 1953 to 1954, teen - aged crime in the city increased 41 per cent; it rose only 19.9 per cent in the 11 districts where the youth board operated. • This record is all the more remarkable, experts say, because th®’ board concentrates In the potentially worst delinquency sections in the city. This year, the city has voted nearly $3,500,000 to the board to expand its services to throe more “critical" areas to set up full programs of referral, treatment, group work and recreation work taking in 724,714 youths. The board, which has a co-ordin-ated program, tied in with 400 other social agencies in the city, plans to step up Its on the street work with gangs and expand its activities with “hard to reach” families and children. With an estimated 100 ‘•antisocial” gangs in the city, youth board “street workers” have their jobs cut out for them. The “Hellcats” gloried in their reputation for being a bunch of wine-drinking, car-stealing hoodlums until “Jack” came into the picture. They had been terrorizing local storekeepers, molesting girls and women, destroying property and committing widespread petty thievery. Os their 70 members, 20 “Hellcats” had been in correction institutions and 25 others had had contacts with the police and courts. They had been involved in many street gang fights, one of which led to the killing of a 17-year-old youth. Few of the “Hellcats” worked or went to school and the group was on the verge of a gang war or "rumble” with the nearby "Hornets.” Jack, a street club worker for the youth board, had been studying the "Hellcats" for several weeks before he began to "hang around" wherever they congregated/ He joined in their discussions, shared cigarettes with them, dropped nickels into the juke box and talked about sports. Finally a small clique of “Hellcats” came tuWiim one day and told him counsellor” was attack on the "Hornets." Jack finally convinced the hotheads to agree to a "fair" fight with the rivals—a supervised boxing bout. The fight was- called off and instead both sides planned a “monster harvest ball.” the proceeds of which was used to buy special club jackets. The group eventually was guided into a youth hoard club house and ceased being a problem to local police. Last year over 750.000 free round trips were given to‘ settlement houses, summer day camps, community centers, recreational playgrounds, and other accredited public and private organizations. Another program which has received the praise of juvenile authorities is the police athletic lea-gue-one of the Ingest recreational programs in the country. PAL estimates that for $5 a year

it can keep a child busy in wholesome activities and compares this with a figure of $1,200 to keep a boy or girl in a correctional institution. Deputy police commissioner James B. Nolan, one of the directors of the privately-run PAL, said the group “supplements the influence of the big three —the home, school and the church.” Cost Accountants Will Meet Tuesday The local chapter of the national association of cost accountants will hold its first meeting for the 1955-56 season Tuesday evening, at the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce.
