It’s less than five weeks until Christmas and time to make same kind of a deal with Santa Claus that will please the children. 0 0 A school up in the deer country » of Michigan has posted a warning to hunters to watch out for "Dears on the campus.” 0 0k— Governor Lausche is reported to favor President Elsenhower which ought to be one way to avoid being nominated by the Democratic National convention. - fr—o— Mr. Stevenson probably isn’t too much discouraged by the complaints about his candidacy that come largely fronp Republican leaders. He realizes that even Jefferson found the going a little tough. 0 o John Graham spent two weeks making the bomb which he packed in his mother's suitcase which exploded a short time afterwards killing the mother and 43 other passengers and crew on the airplane. He is probably wishing that the thing had gone off in his hands before he stored it away. —!_o ■ . The colder weather, coming right after a heavy Tuesday night downpour saved this community from the worries of a flood. The St Mary’s river was several feet over the flood stage by Wednesday morning but the danger subsided as colder weather retarded the upsurge. The. lowlands between the city-proper and Stratton Place, however, were covered witft wpter all day Wednesday. ' • o—o- ' - ■ Citizens of Fort Wayne are disgusted and a little mad because about all thd north 'and south streets of the big town have been closed at one time to permit the Nickle Plate td build their elevated tracks through the city. It does seem that some method could have been planned that a would have at least given notice of the big tie up that has made quite a jam tfcere but it would also seem that the people should have expected it. Perhaps it will be worth some inconveniences.

Already, •most of the retailers here have their Christmas gift displays out so shoppers can get a partial view of the thousands of items. Shoppers,. are urged to visit the Decatur stores and see for themselves the new merchandise which is being offered. You can’t find a better place anywhere to shop than right here in Decatur. 0 0 Norbert Aumann, councilmanelect from the second district has been named as the councilmanie member of the three-man board of Public Works and Safety. Aumann’s appointment has met with universal approval. For many years he has operated his own electrical repair service in Decatur. While never seeking public office before, the conncilmanelect, has always showed a more than passing interest in the city’s affairs. He is a family man and a Church man, both of which are “musts” of good citieenship. Aumann will join Mayor-elect Robert Cole and John DeVoss, new city attorney on the board, which has much to do with the operation of the city’s affairs. Among the five councilmen, who will make up the new governing body, any would have made a good Works Board member. It was a hard task for the Mayor-elect to single out one man. because he will have to lean heavily on his other two board members for courisel and advice. Our congratulations to Mr. Aumann and we are sure that if the Mayor-elect uses the same sound judgment in naming his councilmanic committees, he will have a great working team, administering the affairs of the city.

Eisenhower Leading Simple Life On Farm Household Staff Os Three At Farm Home GETTYSBURG. Pa. (INS) — President Elsenhower and the First Lady are leading a simple life at their Gettysburg farm, served by a household staff of three, in contrast ,to the elaborate domestic retinue at the White House. Officials indicated today, however. that when the convalescing chief executive’s doctors permit him to begin social activity, skilled Filipino mess attendants will augment the regular staff. Mr. Elsenhower’s valet, Sgt. John Moaney, who has been in the President’s service since World War 11, doubles as waiter in the farmhouse dining room, and Moaney's wife, Delores, does the cooking. The only other member of the household Is Mrs. Eisenhower’s maid, Rose Wood, who assists in such chores as dusting, dishwashing, and "straightening up." Mrs. Moaney is an eXpert cook, well aware of the President’s tastes. Filipino stewards from the navy’s, Washington-based personnel are to be sent to Camp David, the presidential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains near Thurmont, Md„ when Mr. Elsenhower begins to use his cabin there for cabinet and national security council meetings. . v The President’s physician, Maj. Gen. Howard Mcc. Snyder, is expected to be a frequent overnight guest at the farm during Mr. Eisenhower’s six - week period of convalescence from the heart at» .tack he suffered in Denver Sept. 24. Snyder’s assistafft, Maj s Walter Tkash, motored from Washington in the presidential party Monday and will remain at the farm pdnd.ing the general’s arrival later in the week. In the town of Gettysburg, a “business” staff of about 30 White House employes has been set up to help Mr. Eisenhower carry on his official duties. A suite of seven officer has been set up in the post office building for presidential assistant Sherman Adams and his staff. Mr. Eisenhower himself has a more modest set-up of only two rooms on the ground floor of the structure. Included jn-the temporary headquarters is a cryptograph room for transmission of secret governmental messages.

SYNOPSIS Death of Roger Brindle, an extremely popular syndicated newspaper columnist who wrote ot the people he knew in his New England hometown of Stowevllle, 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 Battery all of whom live In eottasres on the crrounas of tne Brinaie home. Another cottage occupant is Shandy Stowe, the reputedly wealthy former owner of the estate. On the heels of learning of a ervptle "° te rar ding Roger's death. Shandy to told by Carol that a ghost writer - LoH Fleming, is going to help her write a series of stories on Roger. Shandy naa known Lois rears before. Lois arrives In Stowevllle HI days before she Is expected Paula Case. Roger's niece Jells Lois she Is to occupy the cottaee tn which Roger had done bls work. Shandy reminds the writer that she supplied the "intuition” on their long search for her war-mlsslng husband who was killed. CHAPTER TEN SHANDY dismissed the question of Lois’ early arrival and went back to the point that interested him most. “Do you use that intuition of yours In ghosting ?" “Oh, don’t be ridiculous. Ghostwriting Is merely telling another person’s experience as he would tell it if he were trained. There’s too much nonsense about it. People who live at first hand don’t often have a talent for communicating experience. The Churchills are rare birds. After ail. writing is a craft like any other. There’s no more reason that a doctor or a lawyer or a politician oi an explorer should be a writer than that he should be a musician. An honest ghost reflects his subject. That’s all thei’e is to it.” “But he also has to understand him." ~ Shandy was still studying her. “You have been ill,” he said, and there was more fridhdliness in his voice. Pneumonia, she told him. She was all right now except that she had not quite picked up her strength. A few weeks of country air ought to do the trick. His eyes went around the room. "They haven’t fixed the place up. That cracked windowpane should have been removed. They haven't even emptied the ashtrays.” He walked across the floor, his

Cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, and string beans need no more than a fourth to a half-cup of water to start steaming and releasing their juices. Buttonhole* The tailor usually makes the length of the buttonhole te be worked with beeswax. In the household, ordinary soap Will do almost as well for this work.

Swing And Sway Keeps Foxes Away WENTZVILLE, Mo., (INS) — An all-night disc jockey in St. Louis does more than just entertain late stay-uppers and truck driver*. A turkey farmer reports the music keeps the foxes away from the range where the turkeys spend the night. Farmer Jack Gross piped music from the all-night radio- show to the range and keeps lights on all night. It does wonders, he says, of his 10-acre turkey range where raises more than 4,000 birds a year.. •

steps faintly uneven, and snook up the pillows on the long couch which stiH held the impression ot Roger Brindle'? head, as though driving from the cottage the last vestige ot the man’s presence. The simple gesture seemed queerly ruthless Something dropped to the floor as he moved the cushions, something that had lodged in the frame of the couch. Outside the window a shadow moved and Lois started. Her nerves still weren't what they might be, she thought, and there had been a furtive quality about that movement. Shandy said, “Joe Hattery has come to replace the windowpane. And high time. With the place locked up, nothing could be done before." They watched while the small man outside scraped putty and lifted the glass onto the ground, taking quick sidelong looks at Lois an'-’ Shandy and around the cottage. When he had gone, Shandy said, "Carol asked me to bring you to tunch. It’s a bit early but let’s get out of here and walk for awhile.” Lois opened her handbag and collected a handkerchief, cigarets and compact. When she looked up, Sh—ady was holding the door open for her and the thing that had dropped from the couch was gone, the thing that looked like a..bullet. Snandy steered h£r around the side of the cottage. Questions hovered on her Ups. She wanted to know why he had sold the house he loved and now lived “like a hermit She wanted to know *hy tie had not married the girl to whom he had been engaged seven years before, the girl to whom he had been afraid to return because of what the war had done to him: his lameness, Ms mutilated face. And* she dared not ask her questions of the stranger he had become. They strolled out of the scalding heat of the sun into the shade of the woods. As they passed the stone cottage that belonged to the Hatterys they heard someone moving in the shed beyond. Lois had a curious impression that Shandy

Motor Transport Course At College Tri-State College Will Offer Course ANGOLA, Ind. (INS) — Tri-State College announced today that it will start the most complete motor transport management course in the nation next year. The course wil be offered as a major in the college’s department of commerce and will lead to a bachelor of science degree in business administration. The American trucking association has approved the course to supply executives in the rapidlygrowing transportation industry. Roy Fruehauf, representing the association, said: “The motor transport industry, now numbering 9,765,000 vehicles and a seven million man working force, has grown so rapidly that only a small part of Its management positions can be filled from the ranks of present employes. TriState’s new program will aid in filling the urgent need for qualified personnel in America’s giant trucking industry, second only to agri culture.” an liw—: Student Cop CHADRON, Neb.

Guzman is working his way through college as a traffic officer in the Chadron Police Department.

shied away; then he turned deliberately and looked in at the open door. A woman with flaxen braids wound around her head, a shabby siurt with an irregular hem and a sweater with holes in it, stood looking down, in her hand a forgotten cigaret from which th« smoke was spiraling. Gerts followed the eyes of the absorbed woman. She was looking at the broken pane of glass propped against the wall Shandy moved and his shadow fell on the floor. Without turning around, the woman laid the windowpane on the ground, picked up a hammer, and deliberately smashed it. They had gone some distance; climbing up into the woods, before Shandy Spoke. "That, of course was Ethel Hattery, the faithful the dependable, the noble secretary." "1 didn't know,” Lois said irrelevantly, trying to reconcile Roger Brindle’s word portrait with the living person, “that his secretary was pockmarked. Otherwise, she’d be rather pretty.” As Shandy leaned forward to light her cigaret the sun fell on his face through a clearing between the trees. “I’m so glad your scars have all gone. Os coilrse, they were never as bad as you thought but It’s wonderful to have them vanish almost without a trace.” His hand went to his face. H« caught his breath. , "Didn't you know that yourself?" she asked, shocked by something she saw in his eyes. “Oddly enough, 1 didn’t." "Is that," Lois demanded furiously, "why you have withdrawn into your shell like a turtle? Go home and take a look at yourself. Eveh Paula, who seems to think anyone over twenty-five is decrepit, described you as distinguished looking." ""Good girl," Shandy encouraged aer in a mocking tone. “Stay right in there, pitching.’* Lois closed her Ups firmly on what she had been about to say, (To Be Continued;

Modern Etiquette Lj BYROBERTA LEE i 0 0 Q. If the bride has no one to give her away or walk down the aisle with her, would it be all right for the bride and the bridegroom to walk down the aisle together? A. This would be all right at a home wedding. But in a church wedding it is not done. It Would be much better for the bride to walk alone and the bridegroom to wait for her at the head of the aisle. Q. What is the proper way to eat Italian spaghetti? A. It is probably better to avoid embarrassment or mishap by breaking it with the fork, unless you are very dexterous and thoroughly experienced in the Italian manner of eating it. Q. Is it a matter of etiquette for a new father to give out cigars and candy to his friends? A. This is not required by any rules of etiquette. It is just an old widespread American custom.
