The weather was cold and clear *and the day was a great one, long to be remembered.

Coffee, they claim, to not only a good stimulant, but a good equaliser in ease of fatigue. 0 0I— Democrats of Indiana will assume municipal responsibilities in almost all cities and towns in Indiana January 1. There was a trend, which flowed from the smallest towns to Indianapolis, largest Hoosier city, which gave the Democrats a sweeping victory. Os course, with the victory comes responsibility. 0 ■ 0 Mayor-elect Robert Cole and his newly appointed city attorney John DeVoss are completing plans with their new Council to assume the responsibilities of operating the city government on January 1. New Year’s day will mark the first day in many years that one political party has assumed full and complete administration of the city’s affairs. Every ’hew official will be a Democrat —o—o Tragedy, in its most disastrous appearance on the highways over a holiday in the history of our nation, walked into every state that last two days to mar (Christmas celebrations and cast fear into the heart ot every motorist. Roadways were in good condition and speed of travelling automobiles was the big offender in the some seven hundred highway deaths. Already safety groups are calling Christmas 1955, Black!

Decatur’s new Northwest Elementary school is regarded as one of the finest in Indiana. As a matter of pride it’s great to know this and certainly our children are entitled to every advantage of the best possible education. However, maybe we did go a little overboard in construction of such an elaborate building. There is a vast difference between elegance, convenience and beauty when compared with necessities of a good, well rounded, grade A education. It’s nice to have both, but if it ever comes to a goint where educational advancement must suffer because of pride or cost of an elaborate building, we’re for education! -—0 0i— Decatur merchants, having completed one of their greatest holiday shopping seasons will be busy this week taking Inventories; planning to get rid of their odds and ends and preparing to serve the shoppers of this great shopping area with many more wonderful buys for home and personal .pye.

What can a bridesmaid do when she has been asked to wear (and pay for) a dress whose style and color are definitely unbecoming to her? A. This is not an unusual situation. There is nothing the bridesmaid can do about it, except later to have it dyed and maybe remodeled. If she has consented to serve as a bridesmaid, she must accede to the bride's wishes. Q. Is it ever permissible to use the knife to convey any kind of food to the mouth? A. Never. The only purpose of the knife is cutting, and this should be done as skillfully as possible. and never in the manner of a saw. Q. Is it all right to use creamcolored or tinted personal cards? A." White cards* are in much better taste. — j Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR LOIS disregarded Shandy’s comment about herself. ‘‘Shandy, I’ve been thinking a lot about your story of the man who was .painted and sculpted t>y so many artists. I’ve been getting the most conflicting stories of Roger Brindle: he was strong, he was weak; he was romantief he was lusty; he was loved, ne was hated.” “Jane said she would give you any help she coujd. She is really a magnificent woman. But why did she come back here, do you know?” She wants to discover how Roger Brindle died, Lois thought Aloud she said, "I don’t know except that slic’d like to see Mr. Kibbce and he won’t have anything to do with her.” 'Poor Albert” Shandy was amused. “The one-track mind. And yet there’s a terrific strength in a man like that, Lois. His faith has a granite quality though I must admit it*? tough on Bessie. She adores hirti, you know; she has even sacrificed her son to make her husband's life tranquil. She sits back, day after day, watching him- burn incense on the altar of his god. There must have been times when she’d have liked to kill Roger.” The silence seemed to bother him. He got up. “You are cold. We had better start back.” He turned on the heater in the car, the headlights flared and the car rolled out of the circular parking space and down the narrow road that led away from the inn. They had nearly reached New Milford when Shandy spoke out of the darkness. “I love Jane,” he said, “but I wish to God she’d go away.”' “Are you afraid she’ll stir things up?” , Shandy's head turned as he tried for a brief moment to read her face, shadowy in the darkness. He looked back at the road. “Why do you say that?” “Because that’s what Dr. Thomas warned me not to do.” “Oh.” She waited but he madano attempt to amplify the monosyllable. “Shandy* 1 ’ she exclaimed, resisting an Impulse to stop the car, tp shake words out of the man who was so determinedly taciturn. “What is it?” “How long are we going on like this, crawling around in that great pit of silence?" “You sound annoyed."

Ike Is Working On Congress' Message To Spend Rest Os Week On Message WASHINGTON (INS) — President Eisenhower plans to spend the rest df the week touching up his state of the .union message to congress. .... 4 - The Chief Executive, heeding his doctors’ advice to combine rest with work, has no scheduled appointments through Saturday, but will handle desk work at his White House office. There was a possibility that he and Mrs. Eisenhower might return to their Gettysburg farm for New Year's. The President, according to tradition, must be in Washington when congress reconvenes on Jan. 3. His state of the union message will be delivered —rather than read in person—to the house and senate. With the aid of his chief speechwriter, Kevin McCann, and possibly other top advisers. Mr. Eisenhower will put the finishing touches on the message this week. Monday, the President talked with secretary of state John Foster Dalles for 70 minutes at his

cuss the situation honestly? I’m not just trying to stir things up.” “In other words,” he said, "with zeal and good intentions you are hell-bent on knowing what happened to Roger Brindle.” “Why did you take away the bullet?* “Because,” he said coolly, “I think that bullet was fired from my .22. Anyhow, that was a .22 bullet and I had a little .22 I carried in the car for awhile when there was ’a rash of hold-ups on the highways. Never used the thing. The war made me fed up with any kind of weapon. Anyhow, the thing is missing.” “But— ” ”1 don't know who. I don’t know why, though I can guess about that. In fact, if I was pinned down —and don’t try to do it—l could guess who. It happened two nights before Roger died. Someone stood outside the window and fired a shot at Roger, who was, presumably, on the couch. ~No one was hurt. That's the story in a nutshell." “But hasn’t anyone—” “No one has done anything; no one has said anything. The pane might have been broken by a stone or hail for any comment I’ve heard. As for Roger, he sealed over the hole in the pane and left it there.” “Why?” Shandy shrugged. “Perhaps to remind someone that it was a near miss. Perhaps to remind himself to watch his step. Who knows ? Odd, isn’t it?” He’s lying, Lois thought. He’s lying. Shandy slowed down for Stoweville, swerved onto the road that led out of the village to the house that had been his. Outside the gates he stopped the car and turned to her. “yVhat,” he asked politely, “do you'intend to do?” “Roger Brindle wan murdered, wasn’t he?” “He was murdered." Shandy’s pleasant voice was almost casual. I’m not really shocked, Lois thought; I’m not genuinely surprised. It had to be that way. Only murder—it’s something in the papers, it’s a radio program. Murder doesn’t strike at home. And Roger—Roger the well beloved. Roger surrounded by people who were objects of fcls kindness, Roger whom someone hated enough to kill. ”1 asked you before: what do you intend to do?

You'll be regarded as a meddlesome femalt with a bee in her bonnet You'd be laughed at. And the people who admire Roger Brindle will crucify you for starting a scandal about him. Doc Thomas issued the death certificate. He'll lie himself b!r k in the face. In fact, he has lied himself black in the face. As soon as Roger was found, his body was carried up to his Own room in the house and the cottage closed up. If you hadn’t come so soon it w.uld have been cleared of every evidence of his death before your arrival." "Do you mean that everyone here is living in a kind of conspiracy of silence?” Shandy said nothing. “But who could buy silence like that?” Shandy did not move, his hands still rested -lightly on the wheel, but Lois found herself fumbling for the catch on the door. He started the car and drove into the garage. “Better wait for me,” he said as she got out. “You’ll never be able to find your way without a flashlight You don’t want to—get hurt” She waited in the darkness, while the door was rolled down. Then he was beside her, his flashlight casting a beam on the ground. Lois looked up at the dark house and it to her that something moved at one of the windows. Probably just a curtain blowing in the wind, she thought. But there was no wind. They did not speak until they were out of range of the house, moving up the hill into the woods. "Nervous here?” Shandy asked, again with the politeness that made her a stranger. "Someone was watching me last night. I didn’t like it” "Sure? Not just country noises ?" “I’m sure. Someone was outside the window most of the evening and while I undressed.” “That won’t happen again,’’ he promised grimly. "Why do you say that ? Do you know who it was?” "Probably Joe Hattery. Unsavory little beast. He's building himself up quite a score.” (To Continued)

Says Benson Plans Election Year Deal Mississippi Solon Attacks Program WASHINGTON (INS) — One of agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson's sharpest critics in the house says the cabinet member’s plans to help the farmer "must be accepted as election year deals.” Rep. Jamie L. Whitten (D-Miss.) Mho heads the house appropriations subcommittee on agriculture, is perhaps the man with the tightest grip on the purse strings as far as Benson's department is concerned. Whitten has served 10 years on the subcommittee, and over the week-end he listed some of the things he says that decade has taught him. First and foremost, he contends that when price supports are not tied to the cost of things the farmer has to buy they are misleading and, to a large extent, meaningless. On one score, he agrees to some extent with Benson: that in view of his concentrate fertilisers, cutting acreage with no restriction on how much can be grown on the remaining acreage will not con- ■ tribute very much to reducing surpluses. The Mississippian made these other points: 1. Cutting U. S. production will not reduce world supplies—unless U. supplies are kept constantly on world markets for sale at competitive prices. 2. Present programs of making grants, gifts and sales for foreign currencies in substitution for sales through normal trade channels cannot retain or regain customers for American farmers. Whitten has been foremost among those who have contended that Benson is too reluctant to sell U. S. surpluses on the world market at truly competitive prices. I In his latest blast, he programs under which this country supplies capital, machinery, seed and technical assistance to other nations, while at the same time holding American farm commodities off the competitive market. The Mississippian said this has the effect of holding an umbrella over other countries with farm commodities to export and that, in the end, it will wreck the farm program in this country. Whitten added that this year's proposals by Benson and "certain farm leaders" should be considered election year deals inasmuch as the same people sponsored foreign aid to finandd increases in foreign production for export. He declared: “They have tried to eliminate the existing soil conservation program, for which the federal government pays only .a third of the costs. "They recommended and obtained a change in the parity formula so that it is no longer tied to the cost of w-hat the farmer buys. They refused to offer to sell at truly competitive prices . . . “A recommendation from this group for a direct soil bank payment from the treasury to the farmer should be taken with tongue in cheek.” If you have something to sell r rooms tor reLt, try a Democrat Want Ad. ’t brings results.

Says Asia Jour By' Russians Successful Urges Revision In Foreign Policies WASHINGTON (INS) — The Asian tour of Soviet leaders was cited by a congressman today as "proof that our campaign to win friends in the cold war should be keyed to more personal contact and less foreign aid.” ■» ulep. Morgan Moulder (D-Mo.) who recently returned from Europe, called the trip of Russian bosses Nikolai A. Bulganin and Nikita S. Khrushchev "tremendously successful.” He said: “They accomplished more with a single good will tour through India than we have with hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid.” The Missouri congressman said this should show the administration that a change in policy is needed. He argued: “A better course for us to follow would be to sell our philosophy to the peoples of the world through communlcatlns media, increased personal contact, the Voice of America and point four technical assistance.” Meanwhile, one diplomatic official described increased foreign assistance and a stepped-up defense support program as “mere dollar diplomacy.” He contended that it will take more than what he called “unemotional" dollars to maintain southeast Asia’s faith in the free world and the U. S. Some circles in the state department and the administration are preparing to recommend sending some outstanding Americans on personal visits to the Far East.

United Nations Is Assailed By Manion Attacks Package Admission Deals SOUTH BEND, (nd. (INS) — Clarence E. Manion,'former head of the Notre Dame law school, denounced the United Nations as a “burglarizing Santa Claus” tn a radio address Sunday night Manion criticized the United States delegation in-- the United Nations for what he said was “lefthanded cooperation with Russia in the recent package deal whereby the Kremlin gained four additional votes of satellites.” Manton maintained that admission of the “gangster governments” of Bulgaria, Hungary and Albania to full status in the United Nations meant that the United States and other nations of the west had stamped as approved forever the enslavement of millions within those outposts of the Kremlin. Ttje speaker praised the Nationalist government of China for what he said was its courage in playing a lone hand against Russian schemes by vetoing the admission of Outer Mongolia. Manion added: “Was it U. N. peace that killed 83,000 American boys and wounded 119,000 more in Korea? Is it U. N. peace that hides hundreds of our Korean war prisoners in the barbarian recesses of Red China. “Was it the U. N. that saved ns at the last minute from another Korea-type ’police action' fn IndoChlnaT Did U. N."peacs cause the estabUahment of 950 United States military bases that we now maintain outside the continental limits of the United States? Will the peaceful processes of the U. N. now pull the United States into or out of the pending war on the borders of the U. N.-created nation Israel?” Trade in a upon Town — Decatur
