That nasty little ''flu-bug'’ is visiting homes in Decatur and causing its usual days of sickness and work stoppage. If you feel the least bit -sick, it is well to Consult your family physician. He may not be able to stop the invasion of the "bug,” but he certainly will make jrmir suffering less Intense. * o— —o The young people of Adams county are having their week. This is sectional tourney time and of course, it's a noisy time. Toung America likes to win and celebrate. Automobile horns blare out following each basketball game and even the losers, a brief mourning period, join in the celebrations. It’s far better to celebrate a basketball victory than it is to celebrate a war victory. Athletics, which have become so much a part of the American way of life, by developing strong young men, will do as much as any single thing to avoid wars in the future. o O— — It's always amusing to hear a radio or television program go off the air with a word from the announcer saying, “this broadcast is made possible because of your purchase of such and such a soft drink, lip-stick or cigarette." It seems io be an admission that the sponsor and the broadcaster don’t have much confidence in television and radio as an advertising medium and as an afterthought appeal to the people to buy the product to assure return next week of the program. We’re glad that newspapers don’t have to add a paragraph at the bottom saying “if you want this company to advertise again next week be sure and buy . . ." “Housepower” is a new word coined by electricians and real estate agdnts in selling a home. With so many lavor saving devices now on the market, most of us think that all we have to do after purchase is to plug an electric cord into a wall socket and away we go. For the electrician and the utility furnishing the power to make the new gadget operate,

the problem is bigger. Many of the older homes do not have sufficient leadins to safely operate the many new gadgets. Home owners with many devices have found it necessary to revamp and remodel their entire electrical wiring set-up. Hence the new word “housepower" is becoming common among electricians and real estate salesmen. ... . ——o o Thirty-six years ago yesterday, February 23, 1920, F. 8. Hunting, then general manager of the Fort Wayne works. General Electric mailed a dollar bill and a letter to J. H. Heller, Decatur chairman of the committee seeking a branch of the General Electric Co. in this city. The dollar was in payment for the land where the great General Electric plants are' now located. The letter stated that the General Electric Co. would start immediately to construct a plant for the manufacture of fractional horsepower motors. That day marked the start of growth and progress in Decatur. It marked the beginning of a friendly relationship between Decatur merchants, city officials and General Electric executives Too often, in recent years, we have taken it as matter of fact. Some times some of us even get the idea that General Electric, Central Soya, Bag Service and other industries can't get along without us. We should always bear in mind that these industries are our life blood and without them we would still be the conntry town of World War I days. Their employes spend thousands of dollars annually with our merchants and professional people. The manufacturers pay large taxes tor the upkeep and progress . Qt Decatur and Adams county. „ Before we make a serious effort to grow add expand, shouldn’t we make sure that each of our present manufacturing plants is completely happy because of locating in Decatur? Let ua all strive to continue the friendly relationship between our City, our People, and our Manufacturers which has made Decatur one of the outstanding little cities of the nation!

CHAPTER THIRTEEN AT THE Lord's Lora glanced past Wade into the long room where candles were multiplied to a myriad number by the reflection from many windows. Breathless couples swept by in the polka and there was laughter and the sliding sound of feet on the waxed floor. The Christmas tree loomed brilliant in the bay window, crowning the bright scene. - Across the room near one fireplace she saw an arresting couple who were not ruining themselves in the quick dance. The woman was Morgan Channing and she wore a gown of creamy white satin trimmed in velvet bands of turquoise blue. Her smoothly combed hair had been caught in a white, besequined snood which tied on top of her head with a narrow white velvet ribbon. Her Ups were bright with rouge and there was a burning intensity in her dark eyes. It would seem that all her attention was for the handsome young man with blond sidebums before her. But Just for a flickering m.stant Morgan’s eyes shifted from his face and swept toward the door, then back again. She had seen Wade, of course. But she bad not tried to catch his eyes, and she did not move to greet him. Wade and Lora found cushioned seats near a window at the far end of the room, and from that moment on they were not left alone. Wade was «a charming and gay as though no dark shadows had ever fallen on his life. Everyone seemed to like him, and Lora began to realize how popular He and Virginia must have been in the happy days before the war. Moreover, he began to expand and grow more confident under this feminine attention and admiration. He had a need for this sort of thing, Lora thought guiltily, that she could not fill. She knew his friends were curious about her, though they hid their interest in a well-mannered way. There were some who gushed a little and told Wade that -she

was "sweet" and "shy." Listening and watching, smiling, saying little, she felt Increasingly ill at ease. She did not think that she was either sweet or shy, and she wished Wade would not be so pleased with these labels. Pineville, she thought restlessly,; was far removed from this glittering party world, but Pineville had more reality. True, the blue of uniforms was in evidence tonight on every hand, but that was the ’ only reminder of the war. What : did .these pretty, richly gowned women know of dirt and blood and ' death? Or even of the deprivation ' of war? War had not yet truly touched them —not in the sense ' that it had put its harsh stamp upon women of the border towns ' and women of the south. The gay ' party Lora had looked forward to ' with such eagerness seemed sud- ’ denly tinsel, and those who danced 1 were paper puppets. She had been reaching for a rainbow, she thought, pretending ; to herself that rainbows were tan- ! gible. Now she knew that what she had reached for was only forJ getfulness, just as Wade, too, j reached for some anesthetic that . would deaden the sense of pain, permit an escape into a carefree, happy world. But there was no such escape for her. 1 Across the room Morgan Channing moved into the arms of her ■ tall blond escort and joined the ■ dScers for the first time. Lora 1 followed them with her eyes. Os 1 all the women in this room Mor- ' gan alone seemed flesh and blood l in reality. One could sense the 1 force that drove her, the intehtr 1 ness of purpose that made other ■ women seem limp as paper dolls. I What was that purpose? Lora 1 wondered. "Who is the handsome one Mor- ■ gan is dancing with?” whispered '■ someone. . - A man near Wade answered, “That’s Murray Norwood.

The release, a carbon copy, was mailed special delibery from the New York general post office. The statement which was signed in ink, “Gil Green," read in part: “On Monday, February 27th at 12 neon I shall cease being a fugitive from injustice and instead become its prisoner. At that time, I 'shall appear at Foley Square.” Foley Square is the site of the federal court house, where Green and the other red leaders were convictedSeven months before he fled. Green was reelected a member of the party’s national committee. Green was 43 in October, 1949, when he was convicted of “conspiring knowingly and willfully to advocate and teach the duty and necessity of overthrowing and destroying the government of the U. 8; by force and He was sentenced to five years in prison and fined 110,000- * Green was born Gilbert Greenberg and served from 1941 to 1945 as New York State /chairman of the communists. * I , The statement signed with Green’s name said-hai wae, turning himself in because—*a pew trend is evident” in the U.

road to treason. Somehow I do not like the smell of Copperheads any more than I like the stink of secession." Tinsel fell away for a moment, uncovering the gray look of war beneath the glitter. But after a tiny, shocked silence, the tinselcovering was tugged back into place with quick words and laughter, and the moment might have been forgotten had Wade not,- to Lora’s surprise, challenged the speaker. -7 "As I understand it,” said Wade courteously, “there is no taint of treason On Seymour. He is against the war—and so has been elected. But he is not against the Union." The man who had spoken said, “Pah!” rudely and would have argued further had not his feminine companion pulled him a little frantically out upon the floor among the dancers. “Plainly not a gentleman,” someone said lightly as they whirled away, but Lora saw Wade's gaze move speculatively toward the man with Morgan Channing. Now and then some gentleman bowed before Lora and asked her to dance, but each time she shook her head, Smiling, and Wade was pleased. During the next break in the music, Edgar Lord came toward her across the room, broad of shoulder and handsome in a new bkie uniform with brass buttons shining. He smiled down at her, bowing. ■ "You’ve pot been dancing, Mrs, Tyler. But tonight we permit no lovely ladies to sit and watch. May I have the honor?” Again she shook her head. "Thank you, but since Wade is unable to dance as yet—” •Tve never known Wade to be sc unkind a taskmaster,” Edgar said, and turned his friendly smile on Wade. "You’D surrender the lady, sir?” - - "To a superior officer, yes,” said Wade, laughing. “Os course you must dance win l**' fToBe Qi O
