A day or two more of thia subfreesing weather and someone in Bluffton should eonie up with a report of "seeing the first robin." or a dandelion peeking its yellow head through the snow. Just when the calm starts to settle over the recent municipal campaign and election, up jumps prospects for some red-hot primary contests for county offices and state offices. 0 0 Indiana Republicans have started to patch up their tattered and faction riddled state machinery tor a “peaceful" convention early next summer. Craig, Gates and Jenner Republicans are starting to hoist the white truce flags and are making a gaihe effort to present a united front. A 0— Some folks seem to have the idea that in certain places where the driving laws permit sixty miles and hour speed that they have to drive at that rate. There may be others on the highway just as foolish and trying to make it seventy just to prove how old fashioned you are. ———-♦ A — Indiana state officials claim that a check has revealed the fact that from 50% to 70% of those who have their driving licenses revoked, pay practically no attention to such a sentence. It plight be better if the courts sent the violator to jail ten days and made the order mandatory. -—0 o A doctor at a recent medical meeting held In Miami.

to the average American citlxen who has watched candidates in the past and who usually enjoy pounding the opposition on every error. ■ 0 0 Three homes in Van Wert county were destroyed by fire the other night. Luckily all escaped. 27 occupants being forced to leave the burning homes in their night clothes. These are serious mishaps and ought to be a warning to every one in town or country to be careful about fires during the cold snap when it is so easy to have over heated stoves or furnaces. — —o 0 Today, we start the last month of the year 1955. It has been a fabulous year and probably one we will point back to in comparisons for many years to come. Most people as groups have prospered. The one exception is the farm group. Farmers would rather refer to the years of Roosevelt and Truman as far as their economy is concerned and with prices on their products as they are, we don't blame them. ——o 4$ The laws are pretty stiff and rightly so pertaining to motorists. when they pass or approach a school bus Which is unloading children. The statutes are so constructed to give every possible protection to the passengers. However, the problem of protecting our children is not one-sided, the driver of the bus should assume some of the responsibility. Many times, a driver of a bus, will turn on his stop light and project his stop signal, while the bus?; is stilt travelling at a fairly high rate of speed. This careless act nixt To impossible for a vehicle which is following the bus or about to pass from the opposite direction to comply with the stop law. With some school bus operators it it an honest mistake, but we are inclined to believe that with others it is a way "of “being smart” and showing authority." Officials who are charged with the enforcement of the motor vehicle laws should by all means watch and caution when necessary the school bus drivers, who make it hard fop others to'obey the laws.

What should the bridegroom and his best man at a formal wedding do with their gloves during the ceremony? A. The bridegroom removes his right glove and holds it in his left hand. The best man does not remove his gloves. If, however, it is a double-ring ceremony, the bridegroom must remove both gloves, holding them in the left hand, and then switching them to the right hand at the time the bride places his ring on his finger. Q. When a girl enters a restaurant with an escort, should she remove her wraps before she arrives at their table? A. No. She should wait until seated .and then her escort or the waiter should assist her. Q. If a girl is planning to give a party, is it proper for her to invite a boy for herself, inasmuch as the other girls are bringing escorts? A. Certainly, this is all right.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN FROM the kitchen came the muted sound of running water, the tinkle of silver, the scraping of kettles and the voices of women. Carol stretched out comfortably. “So that’s Jane. I never pictured her like that. Roger was always so generous, never a word against her. He said she was a fine person. But I'd have expected her to be more attractive, wouldn’t you \ Do you think it’s true that she won't write about Roger?" "We have the same agent,” Lois said. “She would never set us at conflicting jobs." "I suppose not. Still, it’s queer that Jane should come back here now unless she wants something. She hasn't been in Stoweville since the divorce and now she comes back just when Roger dies. I heard she was in town and at the —the services—though 1 didn’t see her niyself. Unless she thinks—but Roger didn’t leave her a cent. Anyhow,” Carol conceded, “I don’t believe she is mercenary. She wouldn't accept a cent of alimony from Roger, though he felt awful about it.” She brooded for a moment. T wonder just how Shandy will get out of taking her to dinner. He’s never gone tc public places since The war because of the way he looked. Getting him here to lunch was an achievement, T can tell you" Her voice changed. “Unless he wanted to see you again.” With a murmured excuse Lois got up to leave. T* n terribly sorry,” Carol told her. “You know I made that idiotic mistake about the day you were coming and Fm dining with Dr. Thomas and his wife tonight. They wanted me to get away from the house and my great sorrow for a little while. So I’ve asked Bessie to fix you a tray. Do you mind?" -Lois-assured her that she did not mind in the least and went out into the broiling sun with a feeling of escape. She strolled up the path through the woods that led to her cottage, in the dark shade of the trees, watching a tiny orange lizard scramble over a minute twig. * Their were voices at her cottage; evidently the Hatterys were at work. But when she came in sight of the place she saw that the voices belopged to Shandy Stowe and Joo Hattery.

Homemaking Tips By Miss Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent Cranberries are as old as Plymouth Rock and just as American. The Indians taught the Pilgrim mothers how to use these wild berries that grew in bogs and marshes of old Plymouth colony, it is a combination of soil, climate, and water that has made this region continue to be the principal cranberry producing area of the world. Predictions by the United States department of agriculture indicate that the 1955 cranberry crop will be the second largest on record. Since the season is usually limited to three or four months and cranberries are enjoyable year round, freezing when the price is lowwill provide relishes,- delightful drinks, delicious desserts in the summer months as well as the holiday season. Selection—Finest quality berries are solid, springy, plump, and lustrous. Poor-quality is indicated by shriveling. dull appearance, and softness. • They will' vary in size and color according to their va- ’ rlety. The small dark ones may be . sweeter than the larger, lighter _berries. Care — Cranberries should be'

"... as a second offender,” Shandy was saying. ‘l’m not going back to prison. Nobody’s going to railroad me.” "Npbody is trying to. But I warn you to drop this now.” “Yeah? I’m not dumb, Mr. Stowe, I got eyes and 20/20 visloir.” “And a 1 big mouth. Watch It, Hattery, or you'll be sorry you were born.” Hattery brushed off his hands with a gesture that was vaguely impertinent, faintly Challenging. Then he straightened and saw Lois. Warned by his eyes, Shandy turned around. “Hi there,” he said cheerfully. ‘The Hatterys have the cottage nearly ready. Ethel has the place cleaned; she’s getting fresh bedding and soap and towels. Joe will put that windowpane in for you and bring you an electric heater." He steered her quickly inside the house as though eager to get her out of Battery’s presence. Already the cottage looked more cheerful. It was spotlessly clean, the Dutch door was wide open. On the big worktable were piled a dozen or more heavy scrapbooks. Shandy looked around dubiously. “Does it look all right? Anything more you need?” "Thanks, it's fine.” “Sorry I can't kill the fatted calf for you tonight but Jane—” “Os course.” He looked down at her with a faint smile. ‘Tomorrow, then. It’s good to have you here; better than good. I never really expected to see you again. As though a chapter had ended. Or the whole book.” For a moment he bent over as though he were going to kiss her; then he changed his mind and went quickly out of the cottage. Lois lighted a cigarct, settled down at-the oversized table that had been Roger Brindle’s and arranged the scrapbooks in chronological order. They contained all his columns from the beginning, twenty years before, with one volume devoted to pictures. She opened this one first. It was, she discovered in surprise, simply an oldfashioned picture album. Each picture had been neatly dated with name printed underneath. The grim pair on the first page were Sarah and Jeremy Grant; Sarah, comic in leg of mut ton aleevea, a large plumed hat

■stored in the refrigerator at about 35‘F. Since they ripen slowly they may be stored for several weeks if necessary. However, be sure and sort them without washing, place in a bowl and cover loosely. Then wash just before using. Use — Cranberries can be used in many ways to enliven meals because they are bright in color and tart in flavor. Some of the uses are: pie, cake, ices, fruit molds, muffins, nutibread. sauce, relish, tarts, shortcake, salads, sundaes, juice, fritters, and jelly. Freezing — Cranberries may be frozen whole, as cranberry sauce, or as cranberry-orange relish. When freezing the 'whole berry, stem and sort them, discarding the imperfect ones. Wash carefully and drain. Package in polyethylene bags or moisture-vapor-proof containers. If you wish to use the berries individually for garnish, spread them on a tray to freeze, then package. 'Haw cranberry-orange felish is a delicious variation and can be frozen very satisfactorily. Use one quart of the raw cranberries and 3 small oranges. Wash oranges, cut in half and remove seeds. Put through a meat grinder, using a -medium blade for the berries and a fine blade for oranges. Add one cup sugar and one cup of corn syrup. Be sure and serve w'hen the relish has just thawed. Washington — American farms produced about one-third of the value of their land and equipment in 195 C. as compared with only about one-sixth of their value they were producing in 1900.

and trailing skirt, was not comic in the thinness of her mouth, the flaring of her nostrils. She appeared to be the sister of Roger's father and it was she and her husband who had brought up the boy after the death of his parents. Not, Lois ruminated, a congenial home for a small child. Her agile imagination pictured the boy being sent back to close doors noiselessly, scraping his shoes before entering a spotless kitchen, being seen and not heard at table. She studied carefully the pictures »of Roger as a small boy, trying to learn something from the child be had been. He had always been homely, but even in group pictures, taken with other children, his was a face to which one turned back. He had the elusive, intangible thing called charm. - There was a sound of heavy breathing behind her and Lois, who had not heard a footstep, turned with a start. A woman with flaxen braids wrapped around her head and a pockmarked face was looking around the cottage as plough seeking for something. "I am Ethel Battery,” she said. "You must be Mrs. Fleming.” Lois held out h?r hand. "How do you do, Mrs. Hattery. I’ve looked forward to knowing you.’’ Ethel smiled faintly. "That's nice of you.” She dropped a heap of linen and blankets on a chair. "The place will be, ready as soon as the bed is made up. Then you won’t be disturbed. I’m used to writers. Mr. Brindle didn’t like to have anyone around when he was working." Smallpox had left her skin pitted and doughy in texture but her features were good. Her eyes disturbed Lois. Hot eyes, she thought. A volcano. She had a healthy distrust of unleashed emotion. Ethel Hattery opened the big couch, made the bed, hung towels in the bathroom. Lois watched her. "Stalking around like Lady MacBeth,” Carol Brifidle had said, and had added resentfully, "as though she were the widow.” Not Lady Macßeth, Lois thought. Roger Brindle's secretary was a heroine straight out of one of the Bronte sisters. Not, Lois told herself, that she minded emotion, but she respected its control. If only people didn’t pride themselves so on their emot ionol orgies. (Ta Be Continued)
