UO.OOO. The loss Is regarded as* small for a city the size ot Decatur and it reflects the hard wofk and ability of the Decatur Volunteer department. 0 4 •• <• i 4 J - , The Daily Democrat joins his hundreds of Decatur friends in wishing Carl C. Pumphrey, well known Decatur man, a speedy recovery. Mr. Pumphrey is stricken with pneumonia and in a Sarasota, Florida hospital. It is his second battle this winter with pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. Pumphrey are spending the winter in the Florida city. Admail news item appearing in Indiana newspapers recently stated that there were one hundred more state employes on the payroll today than a year ago.

It said that since the beginning of the Craig administration there were more than 2.400 additional state employes. 0 0 The annual Adams county high school basketball tourney will start January 12 at Adams Central gym. The draw has been made and fans are eagerly awaiting the opening game. Adams county can well boast of its basketball this season and al-. most any of the eight teams could walk away with the trophy. It should be one of the best tour- — neys ever held in the county. . ' - ——o o - Decatur's new city Council, is facing its many tasks with reality.

Often times newspapers arrive at their destination several days behind schedule. Complaints to the postal department are of no avail. As matters now stand, present rates seem much too high for the service received in many instances. o 0 Miss Marlene Laurent, Decatur’s new health board secretary . is a native of Decatur and a graduate of Decatur Catholic high school.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX IN SPITE of her effort to appear unconscious of Carol’s maneuver, Lbis found that her voice was too crisp, too artificially impersonal as she went on, “So you really became friends with Mr. Brindle in 1946?" Carol nodded. "You can imagine now thrilled 1 was. Os course, he wasn't rich like Shandy but he was more important, everyone knew him, not just iri Stoweville but in New York and all over the country. It was wonderful to go anywhere with him. When he walked in— ’’ “The long-awaited guest" Ethel’s interruption was unexpected. “No," Carol said literally, “he was hardly ever late. Weil, anyhow, he bought this house and we came here after our honeymoon. And we were so nappy: Roger just seemed to spend all his [ime trying . to find out what I’d like. He spoiled me, 1 guess. I wouldn’t want you to say anything about nis first wife: she’s all right in her way, I suppose; but you could make it clear he never loved anyone but me, though women just wouldn’t let him alone." A dull red mottled Ethel Battery’s lace, Lois saw a pulse beating in her throat, saw her fingers tremble as she grasped the pencil. Carol stretched her arms over her head, ft seemed to Lois that she could almost hear her purring. "Roger was a moderate man tn everything,” she continued. “He smoked very little, rarely took a drink. Ot course, he did too much. People took advantage of his kindness, They made so many demands on him. He eVen —1 know vJSthel won’t mind my telling you—he took her lus band when he got out ot prison Mid gave turn a job here. He was very—charitable." The baiting of Ethel was beginning to make Lois very uncomfortable. She searched for a topic that would have the safety of impersonality. "You know," Carol went on with apparent irrelevance, “I simply can’t believe it’s as hard for people to get jobs as they say. Albert, of cotirsc, is different; he's an ecJ■ . \

centric, and anyhow Bessie earns their keep by doing the cooking and housework here.” Considering the size of the house, Lois thought indignantly, + should think so. I wonder if Carol knows she has been exploiting that woman, or whether she cares. If Roger was so all-fired kind, why did he allow anything so outrageous? “But," Carol persisted in her soft voice, "there should be something Paula can do to support herself. Wouldn’t you think so, Mrs. Fleming ? A girl of that age is too much responsibility for me. And so sullen. You can hardly get a word out of her.” She looked up to see Paula standing in the doorway. At sight of the girl the three women sat transfixed. She was holding a revolver in her hand. Then she came forward slowly and thrust it at ———y—“l just found this," she said. There waa fear in her face but there was defiance too. Carol jumped to her feet, moving away from the gun. "Are you crazy?” she screamed. “Take that thing away at once. It might be loaded.” > “It’s yours, isn’t it?" “Mine? Don’t be ridiculous. I never saw the thing before." Paula dropped it on the earpet. “What a liar you are," she said contemptuously. With a deep sigh Ethel Battery pitched out of her chair in a faint After the emotions in the big house, Albert’s bedroom in the Kibbee cottage seemed as cool, as serene as a cloister. His eyes, deep and blue end mystical, rested tranquilly on Lois. “I can talk to you," he said. ’There are so few people I can talk to. Roger was one of them, almost the only one. He understood. Not just the tangible things but the intangible. ’1 lived with visions for my company. Bessie," his smile was rueful, "doesn’t think visions are practical. But they are good company. And always there’s the possibility, however remote! it may be, thaf ihey will become real, hard enough,

they do become real” He seemed as unsubstantial as a cloud, and so frankly happy to be talking to her that Lois found her,a»g feeling a kindoffondness for ths little man. “Tell <ne about your search for a church," she suggested. I*l l3 clear eyes clouded. "They coinpromised. Each time 1 would think: Surely this is the way to wagship God, to find Him. But „ arer awhile someone would come to me and say, ’You must be careful about what you preach. Don't condemn this so completely. Softpedal that. After all. one can’t expect too much of people. We’re only human. You are turning the congregation against you.’ And then I’d know it was only Up service'again- Just Up service. But if God is perfect He must be worshiped perfectly! We shouldn’t be Satisfied with less than perfection." Lois felt an ache of pity for Roger, who had striven to give people' what they wanted. What an up-hiU climb it must have been to have tried to be- perfect for Albert’s sake. The door opened and Jane Brindle came in. “Albert,” she began in her lovely voice. , He sat bolt upright in bed, a figure that should have been comic with , the pipe-stem arms, the scrawny neck, the head too big tor his Body. “No, Jane, no! 1 told Bessie not - to let you come. I said 1 wouldn’t see you.” She moved closer to the bed. *!Albert," she said firmly, “you must not send me away. 1 can't—’’ "Make her go," Albert appealed to Lois tn a frenzy. “Make her go!” He waved his hands, his Ups moved but no more words came from them. With a gesture of despair Jane Went oat of the room and Albert feU back on his pillows, nis Ups blue. Lois went quickly to the door.

Brief Meet Held On Westinghouse Strike Holding Talks With Federal Mediators PHILADELPHIA (INS) - Negotiators for the strike-bound Westinghouse Elefctric Corp, and the AFL-CIO International Union of Electrical Workers conferred for 16 minutes today and then adjourned for separate talks with federal mediators. , James B. Carey, president of the union, said that “there is no settlement in the offing." Robert Blaster, vicepresident tn charge of industrial relations for Westinghouse, said "any statement at this time would be premature." Negotiators for both sides scheduled another meeting this afternoon. i ' Prior to today’s bargaining talks, the union and the company blamed each other for the outburst of violence at Columbus, 0., where ne striker died and 88 others — twelve of them women—were arrested. Gwilym A. Price, president of Westinghouse, accused the union of what he called gangsterism; James B. Carey, president of the IUE, asserted “Westinghouse management has" blood on its hands.” The _ arrested strikers were charged with contempt of court. The union had notified authorities in the Ohio city that it planned a mass demonstration at the Westinghouse plant where a backto work movement has achieved some success since its beginning a month ago. A court injunction limited picketing to fix strikers at a gate. Fighting broke out between strikers and non-strikere. Three automobiles were overturned and another 38 damaged in the pre-dawn fray. The dead striker was Troy Tadblock, 34, who apparently succumbed following a heart attack. Local union officers condemned what they called police brutality. Peaceful mass demonstrations topk place at company plants in Sharon, Pa., and East Pittsburgh. <5 • Clinton Steury Is Welfare Appointee Clinton Steury, Berne Democrat, has been appointed by Judge Myles Parrish to the Adams county board of public welfare, effective immediately.

Everything you eat, wear or use comes wholly or in part over highways. In times of national emergency highways are essential in moving aid or troops to Stricken areas. Providing highways that care for the personal, commercial and defense needs of today and tomorrow involves three basic steps: Sound planning,'' proper engineering andthe use of the right type of pavemedt for each * road. That means paving all main highways with concrete. ' .> "Low-price-tag” roads are not usually low-cost roads. They must be /. ~ rebuilt or resurfaced often and actually develop a high annual cost. But not concrete roads. Concrete usually costs less to build than other — pavements designed for the same traffic It costs much less to maintain and serves at least twice as long. That means low annual cost, the only true cost yardstick of any facility* The responsibility for providing new and better highways falls to the legislature, highway officials and engineers—and you.
