The trees along the south and east sides of Bellmont park are out in full fall colors. You’ll enjoy a drive around the park, if you like to see the many bright colors of the autumn picture. 0 o Forecast is for clearing weather today or tomorrow. Colder weather, which is predicted, reminds us that we should get our automobile winterized before long. If you do it now, you’ll avoid the last minute rush for anti-freeze and winter oil. o— —o Rains of the past several days have brought a new flood threat to a half dozen eastern states. Rail traffic is tied up around New York City and several deaths have been attributed to the new storm. Many eastern towns and cities, just pulling themselves together following the flash floods ■ of a few weeks ago, find most of their work being destroyed. o—~o Upsets ruled in college football over the week-end and several of the mighty were toppled from the mythical thrones they occupied. Army took a second straight trimming at the hands of Syracuse and Notre Dame was snowed under by Michigan State — Navy, Maryland, Oklahoma and Michigan continued to advance to a stretch run for the national title. o o J.

In bold type at the top of the page, which details the football •’’giffifr ft ~shys: "It Ain’t The Heat; It’s The Humility.” We enjoyed reading what the southern sports writers 'had to say about the Irish from Indiana. ——o o There have been several accidents and near accidents in the uptown area of Decatur recently, « which can be attributed to motorists driving away from the curbing without looking for oncoming vehicles. It's pure and while there seldom is a personal injury from this type of mishap, there are thousands of dollars in automobile repairs resulting from them in a year's time.

Calumet City, 111., soon will abolish its long-time two blocks of theaters, where strip-tease has been in vogue and where cheap bars have been operating. For many years this section of the Illinois city, which borders Indiana, has been nationally known as “a strictly tough" neighborhood. Church and Civic organisations appeared recently before the city council of the Illinois city and succeeded in getting an abolishing ordinance passed. 0 o Now that the GOP third termers have opened their headquarters formally, the municipal campaign is on in full force. It is interesting to note that the GQP roster of city committee officers contains the names of three newcomers to Decatur in the last ten or twelve years. In fact, Robert S. Anderson, city attorney and treasurer of the third term campaign fund has served as city attorney seven and a half of the nine or ten years he has resided in Decatur. He was city attorney and member of the board of works when the city purchased the "million dollar baby,” and he is one of the chief advocates of spending another big chunk of the city’s money on a broom. o o Dean H. Mitchell, president of Northern Indiana Public Service Company, today was named president of the American Gas Association at the Los Angeles. Cal., convention of the association. Mitchell, NIPSCO president for seventeen years, is the first Indiana utility executive to ever head the American He has built NIPSCO into one of the midwest’s outstanding gas and electric utility properties and in addition he has contributed much of his time and ability to state and national civic enterprises. He is a past president of the Indiana state Chamber of Commerce and for three years he headed the Indiana fund drive'of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. He presently is a member of the board of governors of Associated Colleges, and is active in a dozen civic and church enterprises in northern Indiana. Indiana is proud of men like Mr. Mitchell.

Q. When a husband and wife are calling on friends, which one should suggest leaving? A. It is quite all right for either one to make the first move, merely by asking the other, “Don't you think we had better be leaving?” • Q.

ANN HAD said she wasn't mad. But she was. Furious, in tact- And frightened. "Things" evidently were net settled Detween Pinky and Adam. Pinky still nad a nold on turn, whether he knew it or not. And the chances were good that he did know it. He'd Deen downright smug, telling of Pinky’s ideas of him and his future. Arm had ideas, too! She went into the house, changed her dress and fixed a little lunch. As she moved about the kitchen, she realized that she was slamming cupboard doors, banging a spoon against a pan with unnecessary vigor She laughed at herself, somewhat ruefully. It only there were someone to whom she telt she could turn. She stood for another minute tn alert thought, then ran down the stairs and picked up the telephone. Her brother, Wendel, was planning a trip to California; he’d written about it, regretting that Santa Fe was not on Highway 66. But it was only seventy-five miles from Albuquerque, and— Eagerly, Ann got through to Veda, enthusiastically proffered her invitation. They must come to see her and Adam! She’d be nurt if they came so close and didn't visit her. Yes, of course, they had room. “1 want you to see our new house out here, and there’s a lot of things around Santa Fe that you should see. I’d love to take you around." Veda said that ■ Wendel had thought they, shouldn't entirely miss seeing Ann. "Good. I’ll expect you.” "1 can’t tel) you definitely when, Ann.” "No. That won’t be necessary. You’re starting Sunday?" The next week Ann put in some busy days getting furniture for the second bedroom, a studio couch for the office—laying in supplies, making plans for the sight-seeing trips they would take. She almost forgot her purpose ol having Wendel talk to Adam in her joyful anticipation of seeing her brother, then in actually seeing him, florid, blustering, cEecrluL

Ann gaiiy assured him that the weather was always nice tn New Mexico, and they started out. They saw the Art Museum, the Governor’s Palace, marveled at the depth or the cut-away adobe wall, tone took them to toan Miguel, and the verger allowed Margaret to strike tlie old, old Dell with a wooden mallet, explaining that there was a full octave m tone between the top of the bell and its rim. The Oatmans bought replicas ot the bell for souvenirs, and countless postcards. Wendel took pictures of "the girls” on the stone fence outside the oldest church in America. Single file, they went down the steep narrow street to where Ann had left the station wagon. "There’s Uncle Adam’s car,” cried Jeannine their daughter, pointing to the red truck, plainly marked with Adam's name. “Adam isn’t in it.'lsaid Wendel dryly. His tone laid stress upon | the person who was in the seat — ' Pinky, with her vivid hair tucked up under a bandanna, Pinky wearing a sweater of a color which closely matched her tanned skin— Pinky looking very much at home. "Let’s go eat lunch," said Ann quietly. “It’s twelve, and the sun gets terribly hot in the middle ot the day.” 1 Wendel was puffing from the unaccustomed exercise in that altitude, Veda's feet were hurting. "I'll buy you’some skin-shoes at the gift shop,'* said Ann, guiding' them toward La Fonda. ’’The cool dining room, a refreshing drink and the food all helped restore the Oatmans. Wendel asked about Adam, about’ his contracting. Ann told him, oppor-. turuty to mention that~’he was building a house for the red-haired woman they’d seen in his truck. She went on calmly to tell a little . about Pinky, that she was a diver-,'

’” -- . , ** .: DEAN H. MITCHELL, president. Northern Indiana Public Service company, Hammond, was elected president of the American Gas Association today at the 37th annual convention of the association in Los Angeles. Calif. This is the first time an Indiana utility executive has been so honored by the association. Other officers of the association elected today were: C. H. Zachry, president, Southern Union Gits company, Dallas, Texas, first vice president; A. W. Conover, president, Equitable Gas company, Pittsburgh. Pa., second vice-presi-dent; and Vincent T. Miles, treasurer, Long Island Lighting company, Mineola, N. Y., treasurer. Sparky says a real fireman looks for when he makes a pome fire inspection. Frayed electric cords — these often start fires and should be replaced. Matches and lighters should be kept far out of reach of small children. , Curtainsc pwperst furnktunt laundry and anything that burns easily should not be anywhere near kitchen stoves or heaters or furnaces wheye they might catch fire. The basement and attic — and closets, too —- should be neat and clean because very bad fires can starj in piles of old clothes, papers, paint cans and rags, and other rubbish. This kind of junk is very dangerous to keep anywhere in the house. Ash trays — big ones — are a very good thing to have in every room in the house. Matches and cigarettes carelessly thrown away start more fires than anything else.

cee, nad got a nice financial settlement and thought she wanted to iivp in. Santa Fe. There were a lot ct s .eh people m this town. if they all look like her,” said Wendel heartily, "I’d be tempted to locate here myself/' Ann smiled. "Pinky’s a little outstanding, even here,” she told l her brother. She knew, vaguely, that Wendel and Veda had once weathered a „three-sided situation, and she told them something of her own problem. Originally, she said, Pinky had been Ann’s friend; that way Adam had seen a good deal of her. She was the sort to think all men were ready to fall flat on their faces. "Most ot them are,” laughed Veda. "You don’t mean,” said Wehdel, virtuously outraged, "that Adam got himself tangled up with/that red-head?" He went on to talk largely of what he meant to Lett* that young man about his duty as a husband. This was not the first time Adam had let his attention stray from his wife! Ann’s cheeks reddened. "Women are attracted to Adam,” she said |in a troubled tone. Listening to 1 her brother, she realized that it would never do for him to tell Adam anything! It would only make Adam angry. He’d think that Ann had urged Wendel on. “Oh,” she cried, “you mustn’t get any idea that things are wrong between 'Adam and Pinky!” "Perhaps I'm a better judge of such things than you are, Ann. That dame sat there like she owned his truck!” “She sits anywhere like she owns IL 1 told you—Adam’s building a house for ner. He probably, was’ going to take her out to the site to decide on some problem—" “Hmmmmm,” said Wendel, unconvinced. ’ “Please don’t suggest anything ot that sort to Adam!” “You're just being blind,” said Wendel sulkily. “Well, you’re wrong!” Ann assured . him., “And you must not speak of Pinky to him, Wendel!” [To Sc Continued)
