Grass, planted this month, still will take Voot and grow and the new grass Will be much more weed and disease repellant if it is started this tall rather than next spring. Many shrubs and hedges also do better with fall trimming. Your county agricultural agent has pamphlets pertaining to this “home dress up work.” 0 0 — The annual membership drive for 1856 of Adams Post, American Legion. wMI start next Saturday, according to membership chairman Fred Bieberich. Each year the local post is among the first in Indiana to attain its quota of members tor the new year. Adams post is regarded as one of the outstanding groups in Indiana and indications are that its membership for 1856 will reach a new high. —-O It’s coming the time of year when all types of organizations will send out urgent requests for financial aid. We believe this community is most favorable to the annual Community Fund drive, which is presently underway. By giving to that fund drive, you actually contribute to eight worthy local organizations. The Daily Democrat has been reluctant to recommend other drives for funds, except in dire enter- ' gencies. A,li people of the community are urged to give careful consideration to any requests for financial aid. Many of these groups spend a large percentage of the money received for administrative purposes and very little of your contribution goes to the cause which you intended.

New U. 8. highways 33 and 27 from Decatur to Fort Wayne will soon be opened to the public. Many of the dangerous hills and curves have been removed and this Highway is regarded by experts to be the latest in highway transportation. With the new highway comes the constant worry of more speed and the possibility of more accidents. If motorists use the highway with sense and caution, it will be an asset to the community. 0 0-— This is national Fire Prevention week. Principal purpose of the week is to remind property owners of the hazards of fire and urge complete inspection of their properties. Decatur has been fortunate the laet few years in not having experienced a serious fire. Our fire department has an excellent record and because our citizens cooperate with fife Insurance companies on keeping properties as near fireproqf as possible, this city has one of the lowest insurance rates of any city tn northern Indiana. 0 0 The Decatur Casting Co. had operated in this eity tor thirtyfive years without a serious labor problem. Recently, employes decided to stop work until a new contract was signed. Naturally everyone in Decatur Is concerned over the situation because everyone in a strike area is affected, either directly or indirectly. Let’s hope that this week will bring a permanent settlement of the differences, so that men employed there may again earn a livlihood To? th«r*fumiflet.— O b Governor Craig, whose latest Florida vacation was interupted because of the seriousness of the Perfect Circle strike at Newcastle has declared martial law in thg vicinity of all four of the strikebound Perfect Circle plants. A big majority of the people of Indiana believe in the orderly adjustment of differences whether they be in labor circles, economical problems or political situations. We admire the Governor's courage and time will tell if his action Was a wise one.

chapter Thirty

ADAM took Ann, of course, to see Pinky’s house as she had asked, and as usual with Adam, he became interested in the house he was building. He described the walled garden at the back of the house, and the "plant space” before the front windows. That wall was to be lower—the garage was to nave windows to match the house —a two-car garage—"WhyUtwo?” asked Ann tn surprise. "Pinky doesn’t have even one car, though I’ve often wondered why. If she has the money to build a house • •*) nope she does have it,” growleb Adam. He had a hammer in ms hand, and with it he gave a sharp lick to a form board. He glanced up at Ann from under the brim of tua hat. “This house is costing too much," he said tn a worried tone. "It will be A bigger house than ours,** said Ann, who had been walking about, "in all ways, won’t It?" . “Yeah—our living room is sixteen by twenty-four—thia one is eighteen by thirty." He sighed heavily. He knew very well why Pinky was building this house. He even suspected why, tn every instance, it "must better the house ne’d built and which Ann had claimed. He cracked a small stone with tua hammer. It was a pleasure to see the toose-wristed fashion with which be held a hammer, and used IL “Anyway," he cried angrily, ”1 wish —" He broke off, straightened and went over to kick at a form corner. Afifi guessed at what he had meant to say. He wished he had not got into this house matter with Pinky. She followed him, said something about liking the kitchen tucked in behind the garage—that would leave the entire garden space for the bedroom and living room windows. “1 did It," growled Adam, "to put the bathroom plumbing and the kiteben pipes all in the same wall "Oh, you Would!" said Ann, laughing. "Well, gee, Ann, it’s going to cost a minL I mean, even if Pinky has the money, she'll squall at the lull amount—and she ll be right

Producers Os Steel Study Price Boost Moy Boost Prices To Expand Plants NEW YORK (INS) — The magazine Iron Age reported today that steel producers are worrying about where they will get the money to finance much-needed expansion. It said some producers are thinking in terms of higher prices to bolster earnings and attract more money from investors. According to tne publication, the problem is a tough one to solve. It noted that expansion already is under way or in the planning stage, but some of this was predicted on continuation of the fast tax write-off program, which has been terminated by the government. Iron Age recalled that in recent years, steel price rises have been tied in with higher wages for steel labor, but it pointed out that there was no reason why prices could not move at any time, depending on the need for a better return on investment.

The publication quoted some

A nouse for her purposes shouldn't > cost so much.” ■ “With cither places you’ve built,” > mused Ann, "people have always s come around asking to buy. They - did that with the canyon place, ! you said.” ’ “Oh, yeah! Had a chance to sell it only yesterday,” he grinned at J her. “Would-a made money on 1L - too. A little.” ■—4— ”If it was a lot, you’d have sold IL” she retorted, and they laughed 1 together. Ann was still walking about the Site, much more knowingly, Adam recognized, than Pinky did. “I imagine," she said, "that people will suggest buying this one, as soon as it gets to look more like a house. And if you think it’d costing too much —I mean, more than Pihky expects—” “It wilt She's already talking about the contract . . .” Ann whirled. “You didn’t make a firm bid!” "You didn’t help sign such a contracL did you?” Ann had signed nothing. “Are you sure you explained cost-plus to Pinky?” “1 tried. But, these days, costplus mounts awful fast, Ann." ”” “I know. That’s why 1 say to sell this if you get a chance.” “Yeah. Except that I’d have Miss Pink to handle if I did a thing like selling her house over her head.” , “You’ve sold a house over my head —and I’m your tm/e." He laughed, shamefaced. "I guess you never really understood the meaning of ‘bankruptcy I —you were only a kid—and I was too pigheaded to explain." “I didn’t like it," she reminded him. “No. You didn’t But —" He stopped to look at her in the swiftly deepening dusk. “You know what Ann?" he said thoughtfully. “You're a darned nice girt" Romeo did much better. But Adam’s saying that satisfied Ann. She knew that he was not a man of elaborate vocabulary or facile expression of his thoughts and moods. Like many people skillful with their hands, Adam had less ease with words. Ann knew that by nice he meant many things, and she felt that he was sincere. He was deeply sincere. A man didn't expect woman to play lair,

steePleaders and industrial economists as holding the view that the present economic picture would support higher prices. Meanwhile, Iron Age reported that steel procurement continues to be a serious problem for most consumers, with allocations being cut to the bone in an effort to bring deliveries into line with promises. — ------ However, the publication noted that the outlook for the balance of the year promises a continuing scramble for tonnages necessary to keep production lines rolling. As a result, prospects for any inventory build-up were said to bp out of the question. Decatur Girl Hurt As Auto Overturns Patricia A| Byrd, 18. of Decatur, was injured in an accident at 8:46 a. m. today a half mile west of Decatur on the Peterson road. She was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital for observation and treatment of bruises on her head and stomach. The accident occurred after she lost control of her car on loose stones.

and when one did—well, Adam knew, with deep humility, that he admired Ann. She’d said little if anything ever against Pinky, though she’d had plenty of opportunity, and plenty of provocation. So restored was Adam in his feeling toward Ann thaL without thinking of the risk ne was running, he suggested thaL before going home, they stop at La Fonda for a drink. Ann thought of the risk, but did not blink an eyelash. “Sure," she jSaid. "Will they sell me a Coke ?" “At a price,” grinned Adam. When ne helped her out of the station wagon, she looked doubtfully down at her red-checked gingham dress. “You look fine,” he assurer" her. Os course, first thing, the guitarist greeted him by name, his eyes glinting at sight of Ann. "You must have been here before,” she teased as Adam held her chair. •‘Been here often," he told her. "Besides, it's their business to know people by name." — Pinky’s house went up almost as fast as the mounting cost of tL Ann quickly saw what Adam had meant about the sum total, but of course, one couldn’t build a big house for pennies those days! She was not too surprised when Adam again brought up the matter of selling the thing. Would Ann, he asked with determination, try to sell it for him? "Me? I never sold a thing in my life, Adam." “1 didn’t know but what you’d had a secret pasL" “Not as a real estate salesman." He chuckled, then stood uneasy. “If any of your friends should admire It . . .” he suggested. "Oh, yes! I’d know what to do then. But you’d have to do the selling, Adam. You’re much better at that sort of thing—if only because you know what you’re planning for the house, the way it will be when finished." He bent over to look Into her face. “You think I won’t sell it?" he demanded. "I think you will—if you can." He nodded. “Yeah." They both were thinking, that "can" depended on Pinky’3 permission. And Pinky was not predictable. £To Bt

Gives Procedure Os Using Guards Col. Howard Wilcox Inspects Guardsmen NEW CASTLE. Ind. (INS)—CoI. Howard 'B. Wilcox, commanding officer -of the Indiana j national guard troops assigned to New Castle, Richmond and Hagerstown, today explained the procedure whereby "civilian soldiers" suddenly quit being the former and start being the latter. Col. Wilcox was in New Castle for a checkup of guardsmen assigned to the Perfect Circle Corporation plant where a bullet-punc-tuated battle occurred-a week ago between non-strikers and strikers and sympathisers. He explained: “We have been called upon before on an armed basis, but it whs merely to police and prevent looting in disaster areas. Never have we been summoned as interceptors | for two-way gunfire within the boundaries of the United States. "However, the organisation functioned perfectly. We were completely ready for orders on every basis from uniforms, arms, ammunition and transportation to the point of life and property protection from predetermined key points.” Here is how the guard went into action after Gov. George N. Craig ordered the men into the area: When the limited martial law was declared in New Castle after eight employees were wounded by rifle and shotgun shells, Col. Wilcox called all his battalion commanders in Indiana to put staff and enlisted men on a four-hour alert. This is done by what Wilcox described as a telephonic chain letter. The battalion executive officer calls his junior officers who alert their senior non-coms. In turn they choose five corporals each to contact five enlisted men each, etc., until the company- com■plement is complete or accounted for. With Wilcox in charge of the Henry county and New Castle operations, the only other field troop commanders summoned are: - Lieut. Col. Walter B. Fries, Indianapolis. headquarters company, assigned to Hagerstown. On detached duty from the Gary unit is Lt. Col. Don K. Stimson'of the 113th engineering battalion, and Lt. Col. William Cook, also on special duty commanding the military police patrol. Side-ann ammunition has been issued only to officers and senior non-commissioned officers. However, tear gas projectors, fife hose contacts, instructions and equipment are blue-printed for the regular enlisted men to prevent unauthorized crowd massing. The state guard is working on a staggered hourly basjs, pre-deter-mined by units, of four hours on and four off, six on the three-a-day and straight eight-hour shifts. High school seniors and guard enlistees now in college have been either deferred or excused accord ing to the local financial, distance involved or family situations by the unit commander, Wilcox said. All on active duty, however, are on a one-week rotation basts. Each will be paid for time spent at month’s end. Two Sherman tanks were sent into New Castle and a pair of haltracks are parked near the Hagerstown plant. The troops are using armories, state highway garage areas amL in some cases, schools as their billeting. Field packs provide the bedding in most cases.
