Every year it becomes more apparent that Decatur needs an ad- . ditional public awlmmlng pool. The Waterworks Park pool, used each summer by thousands of adults and young people, is getting old and it is too small to accommodate the targe crowds on hot days. A new pool would be an excellent project tor some civic organisation to undertake and we are sure it would be most popular, especially among Decatur's younger people. o 0 The March quarterly edition of the Decatur Catholic high school Hl Light, school newspaper. Is being circulated this week. The edition is one of the finest ever produced by the Decatur school. We congratulate the co-editors Gerald Voglewede and Rita Heimann and their entire staff. The four page newspaper is filled with interesting items of school events. One feature article of interest is a photograph of the popular Commodore Coach Dave Terveer with a paragraph of praise for his great record at Decatur Catholic high school since 1948. 0 o Representatives of Lima-Hamil-ton manufacturing company met In Decatur ahis week with city officials. The meeting was held so that city officials could get an idea as to cost of an additional diesel electric power generating engine.

district governor of Rotary, former member of the Indiana House of Representatives and a thirtythird degree Mason, Sen. Willis was never happier than when he was expounding the virtues of northern Indiana and especially his beloved Steuben county. Sen. Willis lived and believed in the theory of conservative Republicanism. He delivered Lincoln day speeches in almost every county in Indiana. A retired newspaper publisher and printer, Sen. Willis never surrendered his active work in the civic affairs of his city and county. He was respected by Republicans and Democrats alike, who believe in America first, because Sen. Willis also believed in America first. As a citizen, as a booster for the lake district of Indiana, as a number one booster of Indiana, he will be hard to replace. 0 0 The city park, board has completed the details preparatory to the opening of Decatur s system of fine tree parks for the summer months. Councilmen Gerber, Aumann and Drake have done an excellent job of planning. Steve Everhart will have charge of the physical equipment and also will have supervision of park activities. Hubert Zerkel, Jr. will have charge of the swimming pool, which also comes under the park system. Both men are well qualified. Regular police officers will patrol all.parks and assist in enforcement of regulations. Mayor Cole ia determined to make the ... parks a place where the entire family can g 6 for pleasure and reboard and the mayor have instructed alf em- J ployes to .make sure that conduct of all people using the parks will be such that actions never will be offensive to women or children. The board also has submitted a ten year plan of beautification and rehabilitation. We’ll match Decatur’s parks against any others tn northern Indiana.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE WADE looked tired, as he did so often these days, and Lora was afraid he was laying too much for his newly returning strength. A movement made him grimace and she knew his leg must be paining him again as always happened when he asked too much of it When he seemed at length to doze, she tip-toed out to the kitchen and, prepared a big brown earthenware pot of tea. There were still a few cookies from Ellie’s last baking, and she set up a tray attractively with a linen cloth and a sprig of forsythia she and Jemmy had brought home that afternoon. From the dining-room she brought one of the nested tea tables and set it at Wade's elbow to hold the tray. He roused himself sufficiently to smile at her. “You’re spoiling me,” he said. She smiled serenely as she poured the tea. With silver tongs she dropped two lumps of sugar in his cup, and added cream. Then she poured tea for herself and sat down once more on the hassock, watching the fire. “AS long as we work with men of reason, men of Integrity,” said Wade, suddenly speaking his thoughts, “I can feel satisfied that this movement is honorable and its purpose worthy. But there are those In the group who are not preaching the passive resistance I had been led to expect Today we went into quarters of New York where the very word “draft” is enough to stir up violence. I’m not sure how this unlettered and even criminal element is likely to behave when the time comes. I heard one man assure the audience that Lincoln’s government was highhanded and oppressive. jt®a he quoted Vallandigham in saying the draft was unconstitutional.” "But don’t political parties always talk like that?" "This seemed a deliberate effort to incite. I heard murmurings about how the Negro freedjnen coming North would take away the jobs of New York citizens. There seems to be a mounting resentment against the Negro which is both regrettable and dangerous.” Lora listened, her dismay growing. None of this sounded auspicious. “If you don’t like the way things are going, isn’t it possible to withdraw from the whole thing?” she asked. “Fm not sure I want to do that” Wade confessed. “So far I’m not

sure of what the actual plans are, or where this whole thing is going. I doubt that either Morgan or Norwood trusts me completely. So far I’ve been kept on the outskirts of the movement, not admitted to its inner circles. Perhaps I tan do more good by going along than by stepping out. If the worst came to tile worst I might be able to swing my weight in opposition.” “Is therei any danger to you in this?" she asked uneasily. He hesitated just long enough so that his answer was not completely reassuring. “I’m scarcely involv‘ed. But I know they’re raising money out west to arm deserters. Editors who are in the movement are publishing demoralizing pieces in the papers. Copies are then sent to soldiers to encourage desertion. I don’t like it, Lora. This has its ugly aspects." She reached for his hand and held it, that being the only camfort she could offer. His smile was suddenly contrite. “And you, my dear? I know I left you a difficult situation to handle when I went out this morning. I was pretty angry and upset” Tm afraid you did,” she admitted frankly. “Jemmy got sick again and had to be put to bed. Your mother was (practically shooting sparks of triumph and lording it over us. And Peter had already taken the dog away.” Wade set his cup and saucer down and leaned back against the pillows. "Why did you treat Jemmy like that?” Laura asked directly. He made no effort to defend himself,, or to bring up the matter of the ruined shawl. He was plainly regretful now. "The boy was there before me,” he said miserably, "and suddenly all 1 could see was the harm he had done in telling Virginia about that day in the woods. Then he had told ybu the same story too, and I was cut to pieces ail over againremembering. When the matter of the shawl came up it gave me a chance to punish him —through the dog." "And you’ve been sorry dll day, haven’t you?” "Os course," he said simply. "It’s not the boy’s fault, but mine. Yet I can’t help the way I feel about him. And now the'thing Is done." Lora let his hand go and settled back on the hassock, clasping her fingers about her knees. ‘The dog has been taimen only as far as Morgan's. John Ambrose has him. He

Constructive Breeder Award For Backhaus For distinguished success as a breeder of Ayshlre dairy cattle, Backhaus Brothers at Decatur had been presented the constructive breeder award by the Ayrshire breeders’ association. In order to qualify for this honor, which is considered the most coveted prize in dairy cattle drSea, it is necessary for the herd to excell in production and type, and in addition, a high percentage of the herd must have been bred and developed by the owner.’ On a strictly twice-a-day milking schedule, the entire herd of 12 head made an actual production average of 9606 pounds of milk and 442- pounds of butterfat. 92 per cent of the herd was bred or owned by this breeder for at least 1 four years.

can be brought back whenever you like." “Then get him back tomorrow. Settle things with my mother, Lor a You can handle her better than anyone else.” Lora thought about that She could do what he asked easily enough. And if she performed this service he would be relieved and grateful. He would need to take no further blame upon himself if his mother became ill again, or otherwise behaved badly. “Lora,” Wade said, softly, “what are you thinking ? Where have you gone?” Site looked at him then, seeing clearly what she must do. "I’ve been thinking of what you've asked of me, Wade— to get the dog back and deal with your mother. But the order was yours and the responsibility is yours, too. I think you must stand by what you've done, or else undo it yourself.” There was disbelief and hurt in his look. Then he closed his eyes again. She .rose and carried the tray out to the kitchen. She set the dishes in the sink and nibbled the last cookie. When she returned to the library she found that he had not moved. But ha opened his eyes when she came in and looked at her. "There’s nothing I can do," he said coldly. "You must understand that If you will not help, then the dog must stay where he is. I will not stir everything up all over again.” "If that’s the way you wish it” Lora said. She picked up his cane, which had fallen to the floor, and put it in his hand. Then she said, "Good night" softly and went out of the room. J-ater, while she was undressing, she heard him climbing the stairs in his slow, painful way. She blew out her candle and crawled between cold sheets, shivering at their touch. She was not at all sure that what she had done was wise, or kind, or sensible. Even now she longed to run to his room and tell him she would take the responsibility herself and do as he asked. Then he would be happy again and the forlorn look would go out of his eyes. Unbidden, some of Adam’s words returned to her: “You only care about those you can help." Was this her own weakness perhaps? Were she and Virginia sisters, all too prone to make others dependent upon them? (To Bo ContiMHod)
