Fred Meyer, Democrat and Edwin Keller, Republican ran a tie race for mayor of Woodburn and may require a special election to decide it. The old days when we decided tie elections by cutting cards or in some other manner about as simple, seem to have passed. This contest may result in the councilmen deciding who shall be mayor of the hustling little city. —o Delphos, 0.. is to have a new mayor, a lady named Margaret Miller Republican, who won over the present mayor, Howard Ditto by about fifty votes. Just what kind of a record she will make remains to seen but she may have a little difficulty getting her ideas over, as the council is Democratic. and may not agree with all the suggestions. 0 0 the mixed up election in Ohio Tuesday the voters at Van Wert seem to have put the new Democratic administration in a serious hole by defeating one of the nine special issues; the three-mifl special levy to pay one-fourth the c<?st of operating the dty, The decision of the voters was unexpected but the new regime may find it difficult to solve. The levy was only 17 votes short of the necessary 60% "yes” votes required. 0 a— Book week, an annual observance by public libraries to stimulate interest in the reading of good books should have special significance here this year. The observance here will be just a part bf the fiftieth birthday celethe Decatur Public Library. In connection with the , week also will be the showing of some twenty pictures of Louis Bonsib, prominent middlewestern artist, of Fort Wayne. Mr. Bonsib has oil paintings in half a dozen schools and colleges in Indiana and his exhibits draw large crowds wherever they are displayed. Decatur is fortunate to have such an opportunity as will be offered here all next week at the Library.

SYNOPSIS Death of Roger Brindle, an extremely popular syndicated newspaper columnist who wrote of the people he knew in his New England hometown of Stowevttle. opens new chapters in the lives of his young widow. Carol, and the people of whom he had written so well These include Albert and Bessie Kibbee and their son. Clyde, and Joe and Ethel Hattery all of whom live in Sottages on the grounds of the Brindle nome. Another cottage occupant is Shandy Stowe, the reputedly wealthy former owner of the estate. On the neels of learning of a cryptic note regarding Roger’s death. Shandy is told bv Carol that s ghost writer. Lois Fleming, is going to help her write a series of stories on Roger. Shandy had known Lois years before. CHAPTER SEVEN “STOWE VILLE!” For a moment Lois Fleming stood, on the platform, breathing tn the sweet, cool air, looking at the Tolling line ot the Connecticut nills, at the trees—maple and oak, white birch and hemlock. Stoweville was better than she had expected. “A typical New England village with a green.” That was all Shandy Stowe had ever said to her of the little town that had been named for his great-great-grandfather. He had talked more about the nouse in which four generations of nis family had been bom. “A big white house with pillars, southern colonial style, with ornate Iron gates and four little cottages scattered around the grounds that pave been added from time to time for guests." Strange how clearly she remembered. There was no one to meet her, of course. She was not expected for another ten days. Serve her right if she were turned away at the door. For the first time she wondered why Mignonne had wanted Her to make an unheralded appearance. Since her illness, she refiected, she had been putty in the hands of well-meaning relatives with whims of iron, of anyone who took a strong line about her. And Mignonne had taken a very stronj line. She had been determined that Lois should accept this job. Probably, Lois reflected ruefully, she knew I was still too dim to think for myself. Or was it that?, It occurred to her now that Mignonne had been unlike her forthright self during that interview in her office. She had not really given Lois time to think about the job. Lois stood uncertainly on the platform and then hailed the only Copyright, 1951, by, I

Excursion Train To Leave November 25 3-Day Excursion To New York City The Erie railroad Thanksgiving week-end excursion train will leave Decatur Friday afternoon, Nov, 25, at 2:34 o'clock. CDT, and will arrive at Jersey City, N. J„ SatJVday morning at 8:25 o’clock. From Jersey City the group of holiday excursionists will go by motor coach to the Paramount hotel, which will be New York headquarters.

taxi. “Mrs. Roger Brindle's home. p Do you know where it is?" f The driver swiveled around for ’ another look at ner. “Going to 1 visit Mrs. Brindle, are you? Poor ’ souL It will do her good to have b some company. That house without > Mr. Brindle—” he shook his head 3 dolorously. ' Automatically, Lois found her- - self opening a source of informa--1 tion on her subject “Did you know ’ him?" 1 “Everyone knew him. I guess it's not too much to say everyone loved him. Always a nice word and a smile for you. Os course, he lived . here most of his life. Even after ' he was famous he wouldn’t live anywhere else." Something of Roger's shadow seemed to tall over the cab. How big ne had been, Lois thought He had filled this town with his presence. Ln a sense, he still filled it Tire taxi driver turned onto the village green, driving through the cool shade of great elm trees. Beyond were green lawns, towering white houses self-consciously gleaming with an anxious eye for the public, criss-cross curtains crisp at sparkling windows. A quarter of a mile beyond the village the driver slowed down before ornate iron gates through which Lois saw a deep lawn shaded by big elms and sugar maples and, some distance back from the road, a gracious colonial house with a beautiful doorway and a slender balcony supported by white pillars. ‘But this must be the Stowe house!” “It was,” the driver said. “Mr. Stowe sold the place to Mr. Brindle right after he came back from the war. Just shut himself up Like a hermit. People have almost forgotten that he still lives around here.” As he turned the car into the driveway Lois was thoughtful. This was the home to which Shandy had expected to take his bride. Something must have happened; the thing, perhaps, that he had anticipated and she had refused to believe possible. How vile, she thought in swift anger, how utterly vile. What kind of woman would break her engagement because a man had been scarred by war? She stood on the porch for some Eltaore Denniston./ Distributed by King

time after she had paid off the driver, her luggage stacked neatly beside her. Then she took a deep breath and rang the bell. The door was opened by a young girl in black slacks and a yellow pullover who looked in surprise from Lois to the matching luggage. “I am Mrs. Fleming,” Lois said. “Mrs. Brindle is expecting me." “Mrs. Fleming?” The girl stared at her in' consternation. Then she stepped bar awkwardly. “I’m sorry. We thought you were coming on the fifteenth.” “What a sname.” “Sit down, won't you? I’ll go get Aunt Carol. Oh, I m Mrs. (Brindle’s niece, Paula Cake.” She wap slight, with sandy hair an'’ p sprinkling of freckled oyer her small nose. She was not pretty nut she had the touching, ephemeral charm of seventeen. “I hope,” she added politely, in an endeavor to ’cover the embarrassment of the unexpected arrival, “you aren’t too tired from your trip.” As the train time from New York City was well under three hours, Lois was staggered. Then she recalled that Scott Fitzgerald as an undergraduate had written of “a fading but still lovely woman of twenty-eight.” “Nothing that a nice cup of tea won’t cure,” she said sedately, her eyes sparkling. “How lovely it is here!” “The village green is quaint, if you like that sort of thing.” There was a touch of condescension in the girl’s voice. “And there are a lot of real characters around. Oldtimers. Roger—” the young voice broke and then steadied, “Roger liked them.” Lois gave her a quick look. She saw now that there were shadows under the hazel eyes with their sandy lashes. “Well.” Paula said, backing away, “if you’ll excuse me, I’ll get Aunt Carol." She ran up the stairs as though eager to escape. Lois looked around her. The first sharp impression of a man's house often told her as much about him as her first sight of the man himself. If she could not see Roger Brindle, at lea' she could see the surroundings in which he had lived. But, she reminded herself, this was not Roger Brindle’s house, it was Shandy Stowe’s. ; ; T (To Be Continued) m “•eaturex Syadicate.

William C, Feller, who will lead the congregation in the morning prayer.

Stevenson—pictured as full of fight and firm of mind —polished up arrangements in W’ashingtoh today for his long-heralded presidential campaign declaration. The 1952 Democratic nominee scheduled a v breakfast meeting with Democratic national chairman Paul M Butler before motoring to Charlottesville. Va„ to deliver a major foreign policy speech tonight. Friends said the former Illinois governor, who hesitated to take the Democratic presidential nomination in 1952, is going into the 1956 nomination drive willingly clbar ideas of how his campaign should proceecT. Stevenson confirmed on his arrival in Washington Thursday that he has made his decision regarding the 1956 race and will announce it in Chicago next Tuesday, just in advance of next week’s I>emocratic conferences in that city. He will be one of the main speakers Nov. 19 at Chicago’s big Democratic fund raising dinner. Stevenson's Washington visit was divided almost equally between foreign policy and political briefings—along with work on the address he will deliver in Chicago next week. His visit to Charlottesville has more than casual-political significance. Stevenson supporters hope he can overcome the influence of Sen. Harry F, Byrd (D-Va.) which caused that state to go for .President Eisenhower in ,1952. Byrd withheld his support from Stevenson and, although he did not bolt formally to Ike. his stand was credited with giving the general a Virginia victory. One Accident Is Reported In City One accident was reported at the police station Thursday involving a car and a parked manure spreader. An automobile driven by Mary Jane McGill struck the- piece of machinery in*. Klenk’s farm implement lot near Oak street. The brakes on the McGill car failed to respond as she attempted to stop. Damage to the car was estimated at SSO and the spreader got a $75 jolt.
