You can’t buy better merchandise at a better price any place in Indiana. Trade in Decatur! 0 0— Economic experts predict that 1955 will be the biggest Christmas shopping year in the history of the United States. ——o ol—— t Everyone in this community is glad to note that President Eisenhower is on the road to permanent recovery. Each day, the President is able to hold a few conferences and do a little more work. We sincerely hope that his improvement continues. 0 o As of Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, the Wayne automatic broom, brought to Decatur several weeks ago as a demonstrator, was still standing on a parking lot in the north part of the city. That’s surely proof that there isn't a great demand late in the fall for these summer luxuries. ——9 0 If you enjoy trap-shooting or like to witness the skill of some of the best shooters of northern Indiana, plan to attend the shoot Sunday to be held at the Blue Creek-St. Marys shooting club grounds on state road 124, six miles east of Monroe. You’ll enjoy this fine American sport. * —jf. We are amazed that the third termers object to the mentioning of the diesel plant In their platform of four years ago, that was one of the reasons they gave to keep them In office —to complete (he construction of atfSuThiaf’F* power plant—and by the way. the City never has accepted the diesel plant —0 0 Farmers have been busy these last several weeks harvesting their autumn crops. Lots of beans and corn are still in the fields but thousands of bushels of beans have been harvested and brought to the local Soya plant. A few more days of sunshine and most of the farmers will be on top of their hard fall work.

Ashbaucher. prominent Decatur business man for more than forty years is recuperating from a major* operation at Adams County Memorial hospital. “Alderman'* Ashbaucher, as he is generally known because of his years of service as a member of the City Council, is very much a part of Decatur. He has long been active as a senior member of Ashbaucher’s Tin Shop. The Daily Democrat joins his many friends in wishing him a speedy and complete recovery. 0 -0 The Decatur high school band, under the guidance of Clint Reed, director and Harold Somers and Stanley Alger, student directors stole the show at the DecaturBluffton football game this week. The band, all dressed up in new uniforms, and with a membership of fifty-five musicians, spelled out a “B” and a “D”, while playing the school songs. Then as a finale, the band formed a large bell and played “Bells Os SL Marys." It was a pleasant ten minutes of entertainment. ——l oh—. The current report of the financial condition of The First State Bank of Decatur reveals that our local banking house has assets of more than fifteen million dollars. The excellent condition of this bank reflects its fine management and personnel.

When a hostess sends a couple an invitation to dinner, and the invitation has not been acknowledged. what should she do? A. It might be best for her to telephone this couple and ask if the Invitation was received, as it is possible that it could have gone astray. If, however, it was received. the hostess is privileged never to repeat any such invitation to these ill-mannered persons. Q. My wife and I are in the process of adopting a baby, and I should like very much to pass out cigars at my office when the baby is ours. Is this proper? A. It most certainly is. Q. Should a girl who is a house guest appear at the breakfast table in lounging pajamas or dressing gown? A. Not unless her hostess suggests it.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ’ MA’W'ERSbetween Pmky and Adam seemed to be settled now into a businesslike relationship of owner and builder. AU otn e r “things’' between them, Ann thougnt, should now be solved. But they were not, of course. Pinky saw to that. For now she was the one lighting the “other woman” in her man's life. Ann had made her claim, and Adam had acknowledged it. Pinky must fight for what she called Aer rights. And she would fight. She'd already lost one good man in Rod Haggard, and had come to regret it. With Adam Laird, she meant to proceed more wisely. ‘ When Adam told her that he had a chance to sell the house, she was quite calm about it "Make money?” she asked. “Some. Not a lot with costs what ■ they are—but some." She sat down on a “horse" and swung her long legs. She was wearing light blue denim pedal pushers, and a plaid shirt which looked as if it had lost all its buttons. Her freckles were honestly displayed, her hair was braided into pigtails tied with bows of dark blue ribbon. “You didn’t think I’d agree, did you, Adam ?” “Well—" “I wouldn’t have,” she assured him, “except that just a night or two ago, a man was in the hotel —he asked me what you were doing, if you were still in Santa Fe.” «> Adam squinted his blue eyes at her. "Huh?” “He was down from Los Alamos, said you’d worked with him or for him on the lab up there. His name was Isler." "I worked for him," said Adam, shooting out his rule and bending again fp the board which he waS mitering’. “What’d he want? Why did he ask you!" “He’d seen us together.” Her voice slurred suggestively, reminiscently. ' Adam would not- look at her. , “Yeah?” he said. “You’ll be hearing from him. I told him you were in the book. As for what he wanted, I think you should listen to him, Adam.” The whine of the saw silenced her. He was making the front door of the house, of diagonally set redwood boards. It would be beautiful when waxed and polished. , « “He says they’re going to build some sort of lab at Cal Tech—oh, he didn’t really say lab —he called I it a problem. He said how good you were at grasping technical re- i quirements. It would mean a move to California, of course. But my i idea was, Adam, that you could < work at that problem, and go to school, too, study architecture, and i get a degree! You could!" <

County Agent's Column 0 ——4 Children Alone? Do you ever leave your youngsters home alone? Don't, especially if your children are very young, warns Leo N. Seltenright, county agent. Children at home unattended would be completely helpless in case of fire or any other emergency, Yet the national fire protection association tells us that more and more youngsters each year are being trapped and killed byfire because no one was on hand to lead them to safety. The NFPA, sponsor of fire prevention week (October 9-15) in cooperation with the U. S. department of agriculture and Indiana agricultural extension service have joined in this special warning to all parents: —Never leave your children unattended. And be absolutely certain that your baby sitter is trained and capable of protecting your children in the face of emergency. It's very important, the warning

He nodded. “1 could." His imagiI nation flared into pictures of that r future. E "This Dr. Isler said, too, that r you were too good a man to rei main a boss carpenter.” “D’you tell him I am in business down here?” » “Yes, but 1 happen to know that r you've always areamed of a de--1 gree in engineering or architecture, 1 and maybe this is your chance to t stop dreaming and start doing.” "I wish 1 had more schooling,” . he agreed. "But I’d never thougnt 1 of going to school now." But mayt be he could! L “If it’s a matter of money, Adam . . ." 5 “It wouldn’t be, if I’d be work- » mg on a government job." » “If you’re thinking that Ann wouldn t want to move—” He had not been. "1 should be thinking a little about what she’d want.” He turned away from Pinky ' to try that board against the * others laid into the frame. 1 Pinky bit at her iips, so tiara 1 that a small dot ot crimson stained ’ one of them. "If she didn’t want to ’ go, it might only mean Uiat she I preferred to stay here. She’s made : friends, and I happen to know ; that the hospital has offered her a well-paying job as records clerk. She loves hospital work, Adam." i Adam said nothing. He supposed . that Ann had had such an offer, but she evidently had turned it down. He picked up the next board. “Adam, listen to me!” said Pinky. “I’m listening—but I’ve got to work while I do it" She came over to him, and stood very close. He could feel her warmth. “You’re not really dumb, Adam Laird," she said softly. “You’d be surprised." She leaned toward him. “You know that this Cal Tech job would be a chance for us.” He said nothing. “The break has to come, Adam,” she persisted. “There's nothing to be gained by postponing it, for any of us.” He put down his tools, straightened, tipped his hat back and looked at Pinky. She standing with her feet a litUe apart, her lips and jaw determined. With that look on her face, she was almost homely. “I can’t divorce Ann,” he said firmly. "If that's what you mean.” “You can ask her for a divorce.” “I don't see how. She’s done nothing." “Os course she hasn’t done anything. She never would do anything!” “No,” said Adam slowly, “she wouldn’t.” Pinky looked at him sharply, saw his wistful look as he thought about his wife. “Look, boy, if she’s as good as all that, why tn thunder did you i ever bother with me?" *

continues, that the sitter be thoroughly fire-conscious; that she never sleeps while on the job; that she knows the location of front and back exits, stairs and porches, and the most direct route from children's rooms to the outside. Make sure the sitter knows where the phone is and make it easy for her by prominently posting the telephone numbers of the fire and police departments and doctor on or near the phone. The baby sitter should know 1 that at the first whiff of smoke or ; gas, she should immediately gather up the youngsters and get them I out of the house. And tell her not Ito waste time dressing the kids — wrap them in a blanket and get them out at ( once! Once the children are safely | away from the house, the sitter ' should then call the fire depart- : ment, preferably froma neighborTTng house. Melbourne — Australia expects to produce enough oil in the future to be independent of imports from other countries.

"1 don't know," said Adam, in a sober, puzzled tone. • • • Within a day or two, taking Ann with him as the “business man of our family," Adam took a prospect out to see the half-built stucco house. The prospect was a Navy man, assigned to the Project; he was explaining that he did a lot of traveling about the country, and that ' his wife did not want to live up at Los Alamos. They settled on a price of twenty-five thousand dollars for the house, and the captain gave Adam a substantial check r->nding the closing of the deal. Driving nome with Ann snugly beside him, Adam said: “Very comforting to have that check in my pocket, Mrs. Laird!” “I know it is," she said, “but have you told Pinky you’re selling the house?” » He looked troubled, and didn't answer at once. Ann jogged him with another question. “I—said'something to her about having a chance to sell it,” he confessed. “What’d she say?” “Not much. She was more interested in a scheme of hers. You know, Ann, Pinky has an exaggerated idea of my abilities, my future." Ann stiffened. “What do you mean by that?” “Oh, she sees me as a tig-shot architect, or something. “She’d got hold of information, somehow," Adam continued, still in that half-proud, half-deprecat-ing tone, “that the Project was going to build something out at Cal Tech like the job I did up the mountain —and Pinky suggested that I try for a berth there, and go to school while working at iL Os course, she had me with a degree in no time at all!” Ann was seething with rage. She guessed she knew better than Pinky Haggard how smart Adam w as, what he could do in the way of a future . . . “Would we have to move to California?” she asked sharply. Adam laughed. “If we did iL” “Well,, I don’t think we’d want to move again so soon, Adam. Where is this Cal Tech, anyway? Los Angeles?" “Near San Francisco. It was only a suggestion, Ann., No use to get excited.” But she was excited. “You’ve considered iL" she charged. “Well, sure. 1 consider all ideas.” They had reached their own property, and Ann said to let her out at the foot of the drive. Adam glanced at her sharply, as she stood w’aiting for him to drive on. "You mad?" She shook her smooth head. “No.” He drove away, and she went on up to the house, very thoughtful (to Sc Continued;
