It looks pretty sure that if you want seats for the World Series you will have to get in touch with with the Brooklyn Bums or New York Yankees. 0 0- — Be careful of your brush and leaves fires, at least until we get some rains. For the past several weeks the leaves have been dry as powder and serious fires could easily result. Watch ’em. 0 _ The New York Post used six words played up on their front page to tell the big news of Tuesday. this week. The words ran: "lone off. Peron off and Fight oft." 0 0 The city campaign is taking form these days and the candidates are getting started. Greet them cordially when they appear at your house and let them tell you why they think you should vote for them. —o —o — The Democratic party in Decatur believes in progress, of course! But there is a vast difference between progress and waste. Certainly we can gear ourselves as a good municipality so we can progress and still practice economy. 0 o The Gallop poll Is now showing how Eisenhower would run against Franklin Roosevelt or JJarry Truman. Os course that could only have happened in the past. Why don’t they try running him against Santa Claus or Thomas Jefferson? ■* 0- — V— — Further action on the purchase lof an automatic broom for Decatur's streets has been delayed by the board of works, “until figures can be extended to ascertain the lowest and best bid.” No official action can be taken by the Council until its next meeting October 4. Maybe in the meantime some salesman will come along and sell the administration on rubber rain coats for the parking meters or dimmers for the street lights or some other “necessity”, which Decatur needs as much as a broom.

Did you know that the civil city plans to spend as many dollars in 1966 at the 31.40 tax rate as the total amount spent by the civil city during the four years of the last Democratic administration. In the John Stults administration Decatur's appraised valuation was between six and seven million dollars. Today the valuation is more than ten million dollars. Still the tax rate is three times higher. * o o Senator William E. Langer, Republican of North Dakota has taken his gloves off and is openly criticizing President Eisenhower for not keeping his many promises to the fanners of his state and for being so kind to his friends of “organised wealth". He was speaking before the Prohibition party leaders at Camp Mack near Warsaw, the senator said the administration had been a “decietful swindle.” a© 0 The Autumn -season has arrived and right on time as Sept. 21 is usually the date. Most people rather welcome it and enjoy the cooler weather that now prevails while some are sad over the fact that 90-degree temperatures are gone for the year. Millions are ready to watch the world series and see a tew hot football contests, while the leaves are turning brown and red and people are planning for Thanksgiving and Christmas. ’ 0 0 Paul Gallico, who when young was quite a sports writer and was the originator Os the Golden Glove contests has apologized for boosting a sport with such little merit. He says: — ”1 would go as far as to say that nothing good has ever come out of boxing or prize fighting.” He may be taking in a lot of territory but thousands,«perhaps millions, of people feel the same way With the game that produces so little good. If he stirs up enough interest he may at least lead to regulating the fights into something near decent. . 0- — — 1 - ■ ■ -——

Q. Is it all right for a left-hand-ed person to hold his knife in his left hand at the dinner table? A. No. In many cases, this would prove awkward, especially to the person seated at his left. He can easily learn to--use his knife in his right hand. Q. Are relatives and friends obligated to send gifts to an engaged girl? A. No. Just before the wedding, and upon receipt of an invitatfbn, is time enough for this. 0 0 Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE ' 0 Rose Bushes Rose bushes may be transplanted any time between October and the middle of November, also in the spring. They should be dug up very carefully and transplanted immediately before the roots have a chance to dry. Spinach Spinach should be drained well. Put it in a strainer and press with a spoon until the water is pressed out. Add seasonings and butter and serve in a heated vegetable dish. The Paring Knife When buying a new paring knife, select the kind with a blade running through the center of the handle and held by .rivets. It is the stronger kind. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

chapter seventeen THAT evening Adam reached home on time and came into the nouse as usual, asking if dinner was ready. Ann knew at a glance that he’d seen the deputy. She told him she’d have dinner on the table in five minutes. “What’s all this?” he asked, pushing her sewing out of his way on the couch. “Curtains?” ■ “I’m making a dress — a skirt, rather — to wear during Fiesta.” “Like those squaw skirts and things at the Pins and Needles?” “More or less like them," she agreed. ••I’ve had it in my mind to buy you’one of those outfits. Seems all the dames have ’em. I noticed a blue one in their window, all ruf- , ties and stuff—a really pretty ■blue." She stood with the casserole in her hands. "Do you have any idea of what that shop charges for a Fiesta dress, Adam Laird ?’’ He folded his newspaper. ’They’ve got’enough goods n ’em to coat quite a bit for yardage.” She net the brown dish down. “They do cost quite a bit,” she agreed. "Why, Adam, their prices run as high as a hundred dollars or more?’ “Well, other girls have ’em. And those big silver belts, too." “Oh, sure," she cried. "You’ll hand out a hundred toi a cotton dress, and another fifty for a Concha belt What’s got into you, anyway?” He sat down at his end of the table; she took her chair. "Most girls would jump at the chance of -a present like that.” “Well, I’m not most -girtsrTTff your wife, and when you let your .extravagance run away with you, 1 have to make up for it.” She was thinking of their baby, the baby they couldn't have, because it was too costly, with the hospital and aIL “I'm earning good money, Ann. You don't have to worry.” He handed her her plate. “You told me that once before . . ." -She broke off. She pointed to his shirt pocket. “I know you've gos a court summons about a gas furnace." _ i “Space heater. Not a furnace/' “You still seem to have done something wrong." “O.K. So Til go to jail, and from there I’ll move to the poorhouse." He needn't have snapped at her! “But it is extravagant, Adam, to pay such a price for a dress. If it werea suit, or a coat—and then that flashy car!” He purdown his fork, and thrust his thin, brown face toward her, his blue eyes blazing. "You wanted a station wagon!” "Yes, I did,” she agreed. "But not a Chrysler! My heavens, Adam, .that thing's bigger than this house!”

Comments Stirred By Bermuda Shorts Graduate Student Conducted Survey CARBONDALE, 111., (INS) — ! Why do people laugh at Bermuda shorts? To get an answer to that question Charles Gruner, a Southern Illinois University graduate stu-dent.-donned a pair and strolled across campus Questioning everyone who smiled or laughed. A speech student from Pinckneyville, 111.. Gruner came up with the idea of the survey while doing research for a talk on the "Psychological Basis -of Humor.” His bare knees brought forth a stream of comment ranging from a passing truck driver’s whistle and “How about a date?" to “Your knees seemed to be smiling at me. so I just smiled back.” Several students thought the

He groaned, and began to eat. “I’m building you a new house,” he growled. He glanced up at her. “Is something wrong with.that, too?” She sighed. “I don’t think I want to quarrel with you, Adam." "Sometimes,” his tone was reasonable, almost calm, “I wish you would quarrel, Ann. A real good row might clear the air, and get whatever’s wrong with you out into the open where I could —” “There’s nothing wrong with me, Adam Laird!” He shrugged. "O.K. If you say so.” • • • Building, Ann discovered, went much faster, in New Mexico than it did in Missouri. One need not wait on the weather. With no basement as such, the house went up amazingly fast. It sat on i slope, and was on two levels. The lower held the heater room and a second room which was variously spoken of as the "office,” by Ann, and as the “ski room,” by Pinky. Pinky had, as Ann prophesied, gat quickly over any peeve. Within days, she was back on the old basis. Ann suspected that Adam had made some sort ot apology tor her. Pinky liked the hew house and was interested in its least detail; it was she who insisted that Adam, when he installed the house plumbing, should also pipe the front lawn for sprinklers. “You , have to, .if you want grass!” “Yeah, but dowe want grass?” She gave him a push—riot a gentile one; he almost fell over. “You won’t want to rut it, young man, but you’re going to have grass!” One might think, Adarh decided, that he was building PinKxXhouser '■sHc”"was“solnterested in its every aspect, every detail. She was a help, though—she thought ot the resale value, the buyer-appeal, ol every feature. “I'm not planning to sell this house.” he told her, to see what she’d say. "Won’t you show it to people so they'll hire you to build them one just like it?" “Well—” “Sure you will. You don't plan to carry a long beard up the mountain to that Project, do you ?” Adam did not plan on that. Already he was considering’a change to doing his own contracting work solely. But why should .Pinky be so interested in his plans, and just how was it that this girl seemed to put his own ideas into practical form? i Maybe they were her ideas in the ! first place. He wouldn’t quibble about that; they were good ideas. The light fixtures of Mexican tm- . work was an example. , t One evening she took him into I the Gift Shop at La Fonda to show him what she meant- He whistled . at the prices. "For tin?” he cried , in real pain. ; “You idiot! Wc don't buy them here! The thing to do is to go

' shorts looked cool, but that the accompanying knee-length stockings defeated that purpose. However, one girl said, "I think they’re cute.” Gruner came to the conclusion that the chief Reason people laugh;ed is “Because they think they I would be laughed at if they were in my place.” Following the survey. Gruner used the material in his first attempt as a paid after-dinner speaker. Speaking to a group of junior bank executives who Were attendi ing a short course at Southern, he urged them to throw’ off their inhibitions and long trousers and switch to shorts. The next morning eight bankers showed up for class in shorts. PARIS (INS) — Romanian refugee circles in Paris say anjufcfc.

down to Juarez for them. Yon can get the same thing for a third, sometimes less." “Except for the small fact that Juarez is three hundred miles away." ' “Well, we. could drive down there over the week end,” she said sensibly, “but I’ve an even better plan.” She knew a man, she said, who lived at the hotel. He flew his own plane, he’d often invited Pinky to take a trip with him. She could agree, asking to go to Juarez, and while down there she could pick up Adam’s tin fixtures. “He’d love you using him and his plane to do a favor for another man,” said Adam idly. That was a Saturday afternoon. In the shade of a leaning, skinned-bark cottonwood, Adam had set a door across saw horses, and was planing the edge with long rhythmic sweeps of his arms. Pinky sat on a bag of cement and watched -kjs clever hands, thoughtfully picking 7 up the curls as they fell away from the gleaming blade. The smell of new lumber was about them in the warmth; Ann was at the rear Os the house, talking to Hermann about the way ,the door to the kitchen stairs should open. “I’d not let on to the fly-boy,” Pinky was saying, "that there was another man.” She dropped her voice m an intimate way that always made Adam’s spine shiver. Deliciously. „ "I’ll go ask Ann what she thinks,” he said quickly. Pinky watched him lope away, and played with her shaving curls. Ann said indifferently that the Mexican fixtures would probably be all -nght. No; she didn’t hare ' any other ideas. Adam had good reason to puzzle about Anns behavior those days. He didn't know what had got into the girl! Lt she had a grievance, why didn't she speak it out? If she didn’t want Adam around, why not say so ? He’d not hold any woman against her wish. There were those who did like his .company—namely, Pinky. He was seeing a lot of Pinky those days. Had Santa Fc been Kennerly, Ann would have heard many talcs. But of course, it wasn't Kennerly. Pinky wasn’t Linda, either. This "thing” was- entirely different from that “thing.” With Linda, except for one time out at the lake, Adam had never carried his feeling intt expression. That affair had endec without there ever being a recognition of it as an affair. He’d seen t« that for Ann’s sake. But now he had no such scruples. Pinky was different More de i manding, more challenging—mon hotly exciting; than Linda’s amootl l charms had been. You must alI ways “do something” where Pinkj was concerned.

Handle Dream Plane | With Ease 01 Auto First Models Are Now Being Built DHL MAR. Calif. (INS) — Test pilot J. F. (Stoats) Coleman, a man more at home above the earth than on it, has come up with a new idea for an airplane that a 16-year-old—or even Aunt Minnie —could fly. 4 Coleman calls his plane the Aeromarine .a name selected because the vehicle can fly. swim or lie driven like an automobile. He labeled it a typical sports craft and said It will be as easy to operate as a car because of its simplified controls. It weighs only about 2500 pounds. The first modare now being put together at the Del Mar airport. Coleman, 37, who spends his days testing airplanes for Convair Aircraft in nearby San Diego, got bis idea for the sports plane about four years ago. He said: “Every crazy pilot is always going to build something someday. This plane has been my dream.” Coleman’s plane will have a range of 800 miles on 80 gallons of fuel and a top speed of 225 miles an hour. It will cruise at 200 miles-per-hour and carry four or five passengers.’depending on their size. The best part about the plane is that It will need only about 800 feet of runway and is designed to come in fnr landings at a speed of less than 60 miles-an-hour, w : hich Coleman thinks is slow' enough even for Aunt Minnie. And what’s more. Coleman says the plane will be able to cruise along the highways at nearly 50 miles-an-hour and will even have a single retractable ski for water takeoffs. Coleman simplified the controls of the Aeromarine with his wife. Lee. and other non-flying women in mind. He said the plane was designed on the Delta Wing principle and has exceptional strength, stability and no stall characteristics. The wingspan of the plane is 25 feet and the overall length is tS feet. Coleman, who won the Harmon Trophy this year for his flights in the Pogo Stick — the airplane that takes off straight up — says his plane should be ready for its first tests in about six months. Then, he says, with my plane and others like it, “air travel may become as common as driving the family auto to the corner store for a quart of milk.” >

| How To Remain , | 'Alert At Wheel CHICAGO (INS) — Bored on long motor trips? Have trouble staying alert at the wheel? W. Dean Keefer, director of ■ safety engineering for the Kemper insurance group, said a survey of drivers shows these tricks help: If you have a radio, change the program or turn it off. Take off your left shoe. Whistle or sing as loud as possible. Open the winnow or turn the , draft vent to force air on your faee. Stop, get out and walk or run 50 yards in either direction. Sit iri an uncomfortable post-, tion. If any or all of these things fail, pull off the road and take a nap.
