It is estimated that half of the population of the United States depends entirely on daily newspapers for all of their reading inatarial. 0 5 Few serious automobile mishaps have been recorded in Adams county this year. This is indeed a record of which we can all be proud. Let’s continue it throughout the year. —o Every day now the sun seems to get a little closer to the earth around noon time and there are tnany signs of spring. Os course we will have some windy and perhaps cold days yet. but it appears that the worst of the winter has been written into the books. It now appears that Congress Will give the taxpayers a little breath of relief in 1957 by means of increasing the amount of each exemption. If and when the federal tax rate is reduced, we cqn probably thank the fact that this is an election year. The Lenten period will start this week with Ash Wednesday. It is a period of special worship and special services at all Christian churches, culminating with Easter Sunday. All - Decatur Church congregations are planning special observances in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion. ‘ 0 o— _ - All the drives for funds for this and that will be over soon and we should be thinking about our annual “don’t give a dime" week. Os course we still have our county and federal taxes to pay and by the time these deadlines are met, it will be time to start saving for next iChsirtwaai,'' * * o—o— — - ■ With Easter only a few weeks away, April 1, local retail stores are commencing to show their Spring merchandise.

about its ability to get enough newsprint to continue to publish its daily newspaper without interruption got encouraging news today with acknowledgment of Shipment by our regular supplier, International Paper Co., of a carload of the paper. Newsprint will continue to be scarce throughout the year, those close to the situation state. 0 0 Voters of Jefferson township are deciding today on whether that township’s school system will be merged with Wabash township. The votes will be counted tomorrow morning. If the merger ■ proposal is defeated, the people of Jefferson township still will have a problem, lx becomes harder each year for the smaller schools to get competent teachers and indications are that problem witt continue for a good many years. The small townships then are faced with merger or the transferring of all their pupils to other township schools. Jefferson township is not the only Adams county township with a school problem. Several more no doubt will come to the front befroe too long. The trend toward consolidation seems to be gaining strength and it is not hard to visualize Adams county with three or four large consolidated schools within a few years. 0 0 Thomas H. Baltzell, 99, who as a youth came to Adams county from Ohio, died Mondayj The prominent Adams county farmer, pioneer in the purbred sheep industry in the middlewest spent most of his life in agriculture. He interrupted his farming to serve a term as Auditor of Ad-•“--ams county, but shortly thereafter returned to his farm home south of Decatur. His hard work as a farmer, and county official, made him successful in, both fields. He was active in many county enterprises and three of his sons are now prominent farmers in their own right. Mr. Baltzell safd a few months ago that he hoped to live to be a hundred, which desire has fallen short by only a tew months. He has lived a full life and the Daily Democrat joins his many friends of this area in offering sympathy and condolence to the children.

SYNOPSIS - Newly married Ixira accompanies her husband, Wade Tyler, to his family home on Staten Island after nursing him back to health from a serious wound he received while fighting as t Union soldier. She meets Wade's autocratic mother. Amanda Tyler, and Jemmy. son of Wade and his dead first wife. Virginia. Amid the growing tension between Wade's mother and Lora, the bride learns that Virginia died by drowning in a pond near the Tyler home. Lora finds Wade mourning for Virginia and asks him to tell her what she was like, i After learning more of Wade's earlier life. Lora promises Jemmy a surprise for Christmas. CHAPTER EIGHT LORA undressed quickly and got Into her warm flannel nightgown. As she climbed into bed the idea of a puppy came to her. The perfect present! She unpinned her hair and brushed it with long, vigorous strokes before plaiting It into a heavy single braid, When she had turned but her lamp and was about to crawl into bed, she heard Wade’s light tap on her door, and his voice, 'May I come in A momentary stiffening ran through her. For just an instant her throat was choked and she could not answer. Then she went to tire door and pulled it open. In the light of his candle she could see that he wore a handsome clar-et-colored dressing-gown of patterned silk, looking elegant even now. She stepped back from the doorway and he blew out the candle and closed the door. She went into his arms and lifted her lips to his, let him hold her Close in the darkness. She was gentle With njm, and very tender, but even as his mouth found hers she knew the truth—about him as well as about herself. She could only be lonely and longing in his arms. Yet as surely as she knew her own heart and mind, she knew his too,' knew that by some dark magic he' turned her again into Virginia, and that it was Virginia he held and caressed and loved. She could only pity him and "give herself to his need. Christmas was only a few days off, and today there was no bright stin shining upon the Woody hillside. A gray sky blended into the waters of the harbor and a sharp wind rustled through dry leaves, whispered tn the pines. Wade had said that morning that it looked like snow, but so far no drifting white flakes flecked the sky, though Lora watched for them

Shoe Heels One wi|l not feel so tired if the heels of afl the shoes are of the same height. o Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA Q. Would it be all right for a man’s family to give an engagement announcement party, if the girl’s family cannot afford one? A- No- The man’s family may give a celebration party, but the announcement must be made by the girl’s parents, and they could do this very well through the local newspapers. Q. Is “1 know Miss Browti” the proper thing to say when being introduced to her for, the second time? A. No; this sounds as if it were trouble to make a second acknowledgment. It is better to say, “I have already had the pleasure of meeting Miss Brown.” Q If a cup of coffee is filled to the Very top, is it all right to lean over and take a few sips in order to avoid any spilling? A No- It is better to use both hands to lift the cup on its saucer, and then sip. ~"~7' Court hews Marriage License Phtlip Frederick Weist, 20, La’Rue, 0., route one, and Le Ann Parrish, 17, Laßue, O, rrade In a <»ooc Town — oecatu.

eagerly. Somehow there had to be snow for ChristmSs eve and Christmas day. It was when she returned from her shopping trip to New York that she had asked Wade about the puppy. The shocked look he had given her was far from reassuring. "Mother detests dogs,” he said. “My father filled the house with them when I was small and she had her fill of their racket and dirt. Later, after my father died, and she was rid of the lot, I wanted Just one pet for my own. But she wouldn't hear of it. No, Lora, I’m sorry, but you must forget this idea of a puppy entirely.” She reached the clearing where the pool hid among the trees, gray today, sightless beneath the gray sky. On the other side of the pond, the uphill path beckoned, and this time Lora did not hesitate. There was no reason why she could not climb through the woods and have a look at the forbidden Channing house on the crest. She had no feud with Mrs. Channing although Wade seemed to have. The upper path opened at length upon the great white -house. At ner glimpse of the Channing mansion, LOra caught her breath in surprise. “this expanse of graceful, gleaming white, with its columns marching across the front, was now a common sight in the south where the Greek revival was in full sway. But she had not expected to find it here. On this crest of northern hill it became all the more impressive and commanding for the fact that it was unusual. Adam had said that Nicholas Channing had been a southern planter. Apparently he had wanted to place a bit of his own south here in Staten island. As she stood on the rutted road below the house, recovering her breath and studying the windows without care whether or not the occupants saw her, the barking d% a dog brought her attention to the open gateway through which the drive entered. Dogwood Lane went no farther along the hill, but ended before the Channing house. Lora crossed the road and walked purposefully toward the drive. There was a gatekeeper’s '’cottage set beside the stone wait Beyond, a brown and white shepherd and her litter of puppies gambolled on the dry grass. A man stood watching them and at the sound of Lora’s step on the gravel

Scribe: Colleen Kelly $25,000 In Furs Stolen From Auto OSCEOLA, Ind. (INS) — Professionals from Chicago were blamed today for the theft of $25, 000 worth of furs from a wholesaler's “protected” automobile. The mink and muskrat capes, coats and jackets were stolen from the car of Sol Michaels, of Chicago. Monday night as he called on a furrier at Osceola, east of Mishawaka. Michaels told officials he had a burglar bell alarm that had been set to go off If anyone tampered with the auto. However the thieves first shut off the alarm and then broke into the car.

he turned and smiled. It was the man they called Ambrose, who tended Mrs. Tyler's garden in spite of Wade’s disapproval. She went to the gate, bidding him good afternoon. ’ He touched his finger to his cap in recognition, noting her interest in the puppies. “Funny little beggars, aren’t they?” he said. “Come tn if you’d like to look closer, Mrs. Tyler.” Lora went through the gate toward the place where the puppies rolled about on the grass. What a companion one would make for Jemmy! A demanding little dog who would insist on being loved. “Do you suppose I could purchase one of these puppies?" Lora asked John Ambrose. "Are they by any chance ?" TKn old man looked at her quizzicallj\ "Just what would you be doing with-*-puppy down there, ma'am?” “I want it for a Christmas present for Jemmy," she told him. "I’ve seen you at the Tylers’. I know you’re his friend." t He rubbed a rough, brown hand over his grizzled chin. “You’ve got Mrs. Tyler’s permission, ma’am ?” “No, I haven't,” Lora admitted frankly. “She doesn’t know anything about it But 1 think Jemmy ought to have a dog and I’m going to get him one.” He shook his head, repeating the warning Lora had heard on all sides. “She’d never let the boy keep it” “But why not? Every child needs a pet And Jemmy’s more lonely than most boys.” Ambrose Reached for the puppy who played at her feet and picked him up by the scruff of the neck. “That one,” Lora pleaded. “That’s the one he’d like best “If 1 gave him the puppy on Christmas morning Without Mrs. Tyler knowing about it ahead of time, she’d never have the heart to take it away from him. Will you sell It to me ?” “Maybe you’re the one to manage It at that” the old man said, and his look approved her. “But anyway it’s not up to me to dispose of the pups. If you want you can go up and ask Mrs. Channing yourself." ' < “I’ll do that,” Lora decided. She gave the puppy a last pat .and started resolutely up the left wing of the drive. (To Be Continued)
