The Governor has had a knack during his entire four years of walking out on serious problems, but this one followed him to the vacationland of Florida and forced him to cut his visit short 0 o—— The first Jury trial of the last several terms of Adams circuit court is in progress at the Adams county Court Room. Judge Myles F. Parrish is presiding Tn the disposition of a cause venued here from Allen county. It seems like old times when there were numerous jury trials each term of court In recent years, most cases have been settled with a waiver of the jury and both sides agreeing to have the Judge sit as the J«ry. 0 0 Hundreds of more people have made use of the facilities of the Decatur Youth and Community Center, the first several months of its operation, than the fondest dream of its most optimistic supporters. Meetings are scheduled every night in many of the rooms, jijll Jh?, Jtooms .are,, filled daily with hundreds of Decatur young people. O. M. MeGeath, genial manager of the Center has done a fine job of organising the programs and selligg the uses of the building to Decatur's many organisations. —0 0 You’ll miss a great party, If you don't attend the annual Chamber of Commerce Fish Fry this coming Thursday night at Decatur high school auditorium.

i with the company for mote than , twenty years. Each autumn and , early winter, the NIPSCO glee club entertains at community affairs in more than twenty Northern Indiana cities. 0 0 Charley Burdg. former Decatur i resident, told us he had the pleasure last week of hearing Howard "Socky" Weishaupt, former Decatur resident, nationally known as a sales force stimulator, deliver one of his addresses at Poplar Bluffs, Mo. Wieshaupt, Decatur high school graduate, long has been prominent in organizing sales schools for large units of salesmen of manufacturing concerns. retail groups and others who specialize in salesmanship. After twenty-five years, the Decatur man is still at the top of his profession, and going strong. 0- —o We have been told, from a usually reliable source, that the council already has voted three to two, in a “star” chamber session, at which the public was barred, to approve the action of the board of works new broom purchase contract. We are passing . this on to the people for what it ! is worth. We feel that in the last i four years, too many things have been decided before the public is - ■ appraised of the situation. It isn’t i the way our forty of government was set up. It isn't the way it is supposed to function. Remoni strance at a public meeting, after something has been settled is useless. The only remedy we know of is at the polls next November 8. —0 0 Leaders of Rural Youth Clubs of northern Indiana gathered in Decatur last Saturday and Sun,,,jlay for a two-day workshop. The sessions were held at the Youth and Community Center. It would have been a treat for the public to look in on these meetings. Fine, intelligent, bright-looking young men and women were learning how to become better citizens and more useful to their communities. The Rural Youth movement is a combination workplay program for young people, most of whom have rural background and have outgrown the t 4-H age. With this type of organi-1 zations throughout the middle-® west, we need have no fear about® the action and thinking of the® people .who will be the adults of® tomorrow. , ■

If a girl becomes engaged, and she has no family, would it be all right tor her fiance's family to announce the engagement? A. No. The bride-elect always has this privilege, and if she has not the means of giving an announcement party, then she can always extend her “good news,” through the local newspaper. Q. .When giving an informal dinner, how should the hostess let her guests know the seating arrangement she wishes? A The hostess should stand at her place, and tell each guest just where he or she should be seated. Q. Should one place the serving silver on a dish of food when asked to pass it at the table? A.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE IT WAS enough to shock any man to have Ann take the thing so decently. He sat convinced of every charge she had not made; and the fact that she had not made them was enough. There was only one explanation of her decency, her bigness, and he used it in all humility. Ann loved him. She really did. He drew her closer to him. “You do love me, don't you, honey?” he asked. “You know 1 da” “Well, yes, but I mean—if you’re ready to take this sort of thing the way you are taking it—why, you must love me more than I suspected.” If he could have seen her face, there against his corduroy lapel, tie might also have seen a wry smile touch Ann’s soft lipa The unconscionable size of the male ego! that smile said. But it was all right It was essential “1 do love you, Adam,” said Ann. He made no promises, Just as she had made no charges, but Adam knew that Ann was being oig, where a lot of women wouldn’t nave been. Pinky wouldn’t have been. She’d not be big at all about fils l telling her that he meant to stay by Ann. • • • On the next Sunday, Pinky Haggard paid a call upon the Adam Lairds. She came with a man —a largish, blond men, Bill Somethingorother, who’d kindly driven her out in hie Jaguar. She showed the canyon house to this Bill, and explained that Adam was so clever! That was why she wanted him to build her a house. In fact, he'd promised. Aim, in white shorts and yellow blouse, watched the performance and told herself that Pinky really was putting it on. For whose benefit? Bill didn’t look smart enough to recognize a broad A. She went on setting out plants in a flower bed, while Adam invited their guests indoors to look around. A tinkle of ice against glass came through the window and told her he was making drinks. Pinky was dressed up—light green suit, brown straw hat, matching gloves. On her most rigidly formal occasion, Ann couldn’t have beaten her. “She looks like a lady,” said Ann to herself, not spitefully, exactly, but with a great deal of satisfaction. Pinky, she felt sure, was ready to force things a .bit, and had decided that Ann's way might sometimes work.

Plan Columbus Day Banquet And Dance Decatur K. C. Plan For Event Oct. 20 The annual Columbus Day banquet and dance for members of the Decatur Knights of Columbus council will be held Thursday, Oct. 20, at the K. of C. hall. James Lose, chairman of the affair, has announced that the Rev. Lawrence Heimann, a native of Decatur and professor of music at St. Joseph’s College near Rennselaer, will be speaker ■ tor the banquet which begins at 6:30 p. m. Father Heimann will speak on "Church Music." The dance will follow the dinner, with Don Underwood’s orchestra presenting the music. Tickets for the, event are available at the hall or from Bill Lengerich at Holt-house-Schulte store. Joe Mulligan at the Why store and Jim Lose at Peterson’s clothing store. Also planned in, observance of Columbus Day are initiation Sunday, Oct. 23. and experience night for members only Monday, Oct. 24. The initiation ceremony will be held for approximately 35 new members of the Decatur council from Decatur, Monroeville and Bescanson. Also participating will be the Hartford City and Marion

She let herself listen to the talk from indoors. It was all right to eavesdrop; she might have joined the group, and they knew where she was. Pinky, still in that la-de-da manner, was asking Adam if he really would build her a house. “I thought 1 was going to get this one." She probably gestured with her light brown gloves. “1 put so much if myself into it” Then she made a charming, rueful face. “Os course, 1 realize that 1 should have said so in a legal way.” There was a murmur of men’s voices. “It’s an right," Pinky assured them. “I have other ideas —lots of them!” The men laughed, and Bill said he would count on Pinky. But she was leaning toward Adam. “You will build me a house, won't you, darling?” “Sure,” •said Adam, quickly, heartily. Tm in the business. I build houses for everybody’s got the money." “Even me.” Her voice was silky. “If you’ve got the price.” Perhaps she only looked at him. Adam's voice came almost at once. “I'll call Ann. She does the bookkeeping tor the family.” So Ann was ready to be summoned to Join the group indoors, and to say to Pinky tn the same manner which Adam had used, that of course he’d build a house, for Pinky, or for anyone. That was his business. Adam had completed his year’s contract for the project, and with a backlog of contracts, including Pinky’s house, he felt safe in giving up his work at Los Alamos. Pinky perhaps thought this was due to her persuasion; she kept saying how olad she was that he could devote full time to her. “Well, at least to your hotise,” Adam would amend, grinding. It was to be a low, pale green stucco house at the edge of town, with a walled garden space, long French windows, and workable shutters to be painted dark green. “In a semitropic climate, shutters are fine air conditioners,” he told Ann. Now Adam gave his time chiefly to Pinky’s house until it was well started. Her ideas, and her willingness to let him use bis own —the thing was working out well, and Adam became delightedly absorbed in it. Perhaps he didn't realize that Pinky was on the sit? as much as he was. But Uic people in town noticed

K. of C. councils, which will present 20 new members for initiation. The ceremony will be conducted by the Fort Wayne degree team under the direction of John Logan. First degree initiation will begin at 10:30 a. m. and the second and third degree will be held at 1:30 p. tn. Carl Braun is local chairman of arrangements for the initiation. Art Braun and John Voglevvede, lecturers, will be in charge of the experience night event, which concludes Columbus Day activities. The banquet was originally scheduled for this week but was postponed because of a conflict with Forty Hour devotions at one of the parishes included in the De catur council.

tt. And Ann's increasing circle of friends spoke to Adam's wife of seeing them together. She tried to be calm. It was all a matter of business, she said. But, privately, she wondered. Pinky obviously had not given up, and she was so darn clever! And Adam— This time she could not blame herself. Shp'd been saying “yes” to everything he asked. But if he still ... Ann's hatred of Pinky became intense and implacable. The first good chance she got—she would get one, too!—she'd point out co Adam Laird precisely what Pinky Haggard was, how cheap, and how common. • • • The next day, moving about her housework, Ann realized that Pinky was still on Ann’s horizon, big as Hie, and twice as dangerous! And Ann must do something about it! At least she must try to cut Pinky down to a size where Ann could compete with her for Adam's interest, but how? She dropped to the edge of the couch and sat thoughtful, her hand running up and down the smooth round of the mop handle. “Now, let’s see,” she thought aloud. Pinky, everyone said, was fun. Os course, the woman speaking always added a bitter, “But what kind?” .Inn didn’t know, specifically, but she could guess what kind. She remembered that luncheon at La Fonda, and the discussion of the platinum-blonde pick-up. "Who wants to be a lady?” Pinky had asked. "You don’t have any fun!” To be truthful, Ann had not been much fun of any kind lately, to herself or Adam. It was a matter of being ready to relax, and willing. There was that word again! She need not plan elaborate sources of amusement, but if she a make their home attractively pleasant for Adam, and be good company under all circumstances, maybe he’d be happy to come home, and to stay there. That evening, Ann asked Adam to take her out to see Pinky’s house, before dark. "I’ve never been, you know.” They hadn’t got tar, he demurred. Utility pipes, sewer and forms for the foundation. Pinky wanted so much wall, it had meant enough form work to build a house and basement back in Missouri. "I still would like to see it,” said Ann. “Pinky always has such good ideas, it’s bound to be interesting." (To Ee Continued/

Governor Defends Firing Os Larson Has No Intention Os Being Candidate INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Gov. George N. Craig was forced to break his press conference into two sections Monday—labor and otherwise. The governor conaucted a fullscale gathering with representatives of labor and industry from which emerged martial law at all four Perfect Circle plants, and another on affairs of the state. There was a slight backlog resulting from Craig’s riot-abbre-viated vacation at Miami Beach and thp governor announced five major decisions in rapid fire order. Craig said authority to fire Dr. John A. Larson from his job as superintendent at Logansport state hospital was given Dr. Margaret E. Morgan, state mental health commissioner, more than a year and a half ago. Craig said there had been too much public relations and too little treatment. He said he was aware that traffic safety director Joe Lingo and state police superintendent Frank Jessnp would have differences of opinions and that he hoped they would continue to have them to aid in the growth of the state’s safety program. The governor supported ABC chairman Walter P. Weyland’s get tough policy toward permit holder's gambling as opposed to a more liberal attitude favored by ABC vice-chairman Dan Cravens. Craig also said he does not intend to be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination next year. He said Eisenhower is still President and that “Ike is irreplaceable” so long as he's to .hold the office. The governor also restated his intention to see the institution for teen-age offenders carried out even though the budget committee failed to provide funds for the project at a meeting last week. Craig said there was disagreement on location, although he favored state-owned land north of the reformatory, but that a decision would be forthcoming.
