President Eisenhower plans another week’s vacation, starting today. He will go back to Georgia where be plans a week of golf and reiaxsrtlM. Present plans call for his return in time to throw the first baseball of the major league baseball season in Washington. The speedy settlement of an auto theft and parole violation case by city police Monday night and Tuesday morning is another example of Decatur’s fine, efficient and often unappreciated policing. Some people reserve nothing but sneers for Decatur's police force, and it probably isn’t perfect. But credit should be given where credit is due, and the men on the force deserve a lot. In the past few years, several criminals have been captured by either the Decatur police department, the Adams county sheriff’s department, or both offices working together. This is as it should be. ;but why were they eaught here after several crimes instead of elsewhere? Because we have a better staffed police force than most aras. Any city that thinks it is saving money’by having only half a police force is practicing false economy. Decatur's low loss of .value due to crime in these days of mounting crime costs is something we can be proud of. And so is our police force. Police work is not as easy as it looks on the surface. A policeman has no way of knowing what goes on in the mind of a person he is about to arrest. In most cases it is just an ordinary citizen going too fast or unthinking in their driving. But in some cases it is a man with a gun and a reason not to want a police officer to get “liold of him. -Still. iVa the job X>X the police to get that man the same as any other — and in Decatur and Adams county, they do it. If a police officer risks his life once a year — and most of them do ft more than that, unknown to us and sometimes unknown to himself — he has done the taxpayers a great service. By risking his life he may be saving ours. If he deserves criticism he should get it, but in all fairness, if he deserves credit he should get it. And before criticism is given, one should be sure the policeman is at fault and not someone else.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX LORA followed Wade into the hall without answering, while he lighted her way. There was danger in this new softening toward her. Because she felt suddenly guilty, she tried to make their midnight meal a gay adventure. They closed the kitchen door with secret laughter. lest they waken his mother, and behind the shutters they lighted only candles, lest one of the servants see brighter lamplight and come to investigate. There was cold chicken left from dinner in the icebox, and a bowl of potato salad. She poured glasses of rich milk, dipped that very morning from the huge cans □nought around by the milk cart. L>ora ate hungrily, while Wade nibbled a bite here and there without the appetite he had claimed. “Did you get Morgan quieted after 1 left?” he asked, when they came to a halt in their self-con-scious effort to be gay. "We had no trouble,” Lora told nim. “1 put on my schooimarm manner and she turned right into a weepy child and did what I told tier to do. She went to sleep almost at once.” “No more accusations or dramatics?” Lora considered the question and decided on frankness. There had oeen too much of secrecy and subterfuge in this house. “She blurted out that she still wanted you and would fight anyone for you.” Wade flung down his napkin. •“Why must she-always want whatever is denied her? Even as a child, the thing over which she was balked was the thing she must have. There's no affection In her feeling toward mo, not even liking. She has only contempt for me, really. And I dislike her heartily." Lora bit the last speck of meat from a chicken leg and wiped her fingers free of grease. “Since we're being truthful with each other tonight, will you let me ask you something ?’’ “1 know,” he said ruefully. "You’re thinking of that time in the woods when Jemmy saw us. You want to know why—” She nodded. “Thai’s the one

thing that doesn't fit any pattern I can find for you. You would never have turned away from Virginia.” He made a quick, despairing gesture. "No, I would not," he said. “And yet—" And yet . . . Lora thought, remembering Adam. “I’ll try to tell -you what happened.” he said, and there was sudden urgency In his voice. “Do you know that there was a time when I might have married Morgan?’’ "I guessed so." “Morgan came to me that day in the woods hi the quiet, gentle way she sometimes used to adopt as a child and which always appealed to me. She grasped at nothing, asked for nothing. She was crying when she finished telling me how much she loved Virginia and me, and somehow all my old feeling for her came back and I held her close to me apd kissed her.” He was silent, and Lora reached across the table to touch his hand comfortingly. “But later, of course, Morgan became her old self again and tried to use that moment to reinstate herself with me. After Virginia’s death. I could only feel repelled by her then. By that time 1 knew that Virginia might well have died because I’d held Morgan in my arms for those few moments. I told Morgan that I wanted nothing more to do with her. Lora, you know that I truly loved Virginia?” Lora nodded. She knew indeedAs truly as she loved Wade, even at the moment of kissing Adam that very afternoon. Suddenly she found herself blurting out the moment with Adam, and dared not watch Wade's face. But he did not draw stiffly away, only put his arm warmly About her waist They walked to the open window and stood looking out at the pale moon and feeling the mild April night "Spring!” Wade whispered. “You can almost hear things growing, new things." Then more firmly, “Lora, I must tell you. I’m not Working with Norwood. I figured the Circle out quite a while agd. I’Ve been writing articles for a New York paper

Federal Agencies Testing Hypnotism ; Sharpen Memories, Combat Brain-wash WASHINGTON (INS) — Several super-secret government agencies are experimenting with hypnotism to sharpen the memories of our spies and combat brain-wash-ing, this correspondent learned today. ; The current Bridey Murphy erase has nothing to do with the work, which has been proceeding under wraps for some time. A high official of one hush-hush agency told this writer that hypnotism is being used to help effect "total recall" after an operative has returned from a sensitive mission. He said his organization has found that an agent in a hypnotic state can (remember many details that his "conscious" mind failed to observe or report To illustrate, he revealed that Agents who have volnnteered for the experiments are able to recall the exact number of slats in the Venetian Winds of offices where they worked two or three years ago. In a conscious state, probably not one person in a million would be aware of such a minor technicality. . ■ ~ The psychological warfare division of the defense department has also been conducting research on hypnotism for some time. A topranking officer said the budgetary allotment is relatively small, but that the Pentagon has been conducting research on a number of proposals made to them by prominent psychiatrists and psychologists. v ' “We use only volunteers, and under controlled conditions,” he explained, “But the defense department is tremendously interested in the over-all effects of psycho-neu-rosis." He said the results to date have not been “too productive,” but that numerous servicemen who cracked up under military regimen have been hypnotised to try to find the “casual basis” for the condition in their childhood. He disclosed that the medical departments of all three services are delving into this fascinating field. He said the reds undoubtedly used a form of hynosis, induced uner physical uress, to “convert" American servicemen to Commu~*T*Hypnotism, however, can be very angerous in unskilled under physical duress, to “convert’’ ed. “It is true that anyone will eventually come out of a hynotic trapee, but often a key word or ph rase,.used, by another parson can throw him back into hypnosis." A psychological warfare officer said the Pentagon is “not terribly impressed” to date with the results of its research in this field. Trade In a Good Town — Decatur.

in favor of au Lincoln’s program and the editor wants me to write daily pieces for him on politics from now on.” “And you can do it,” Lora said softly. “You are your own man ndW." He drew a full deep breath that swelled his lungs. "It makes me fe?l the way 1 used to as a little bay. As if something mysterious were ahead of me. I can remember a space where the spring sun used top Warm a broken wall up the hill I’ve gone there sometimes to sit alone and feel myself part of the grbwing. Part erf every living thing.” She leaned her cheek against his arm for just a moment because there were no words to give him. She could love that little boy he had once been just as she could love Jemmy. He traced the curve oto her cheek with his fingers and felt the coolness of her skin. “You’re chilled. Enough of this mooning in the back yard. Back to bed with you. Ellie wil? nevei get over it if she sees us here." They laughed together lightly and hurried inside to put things away, conceal all evidence of their repast U Ellie found some of her chicken gone tomorrow, she coulo think what she liked, but at least they would leave no betraying signk Together they went upstairs, their shadows marching tall beside them in the candlelight He was not like Adam. He would never be like Adam—rough and sudden and compelling. There was both tenderness and gentleness in his arms, though they were strong as they drew her close. There was no need to tell him what she thought be cause his mouth was warm upon hers and even as her pulses stirred she knew that his kiss meant more than this quick response of the blood. It meant both climax and beginning. A puff of sea breeze came in the open window, guttered the candle low. then blew It to high flame. It flung the curtains aside and went off in a hurry through the woods Far up on the hillside the pool stirred, rippling softly at its touch then slept again peaceful and troubled in the summer night.

County Agent's Column 0 i Strawberry Plants No matter how small, the home garden can always provide space for a few strawberry plants, reports W. B. Ward, Purdue University "horticulturist. Ah application of commercial fertiliser, such as 10-10-10, is suggested for the berry site before plowing or spading. Fertilizer applied at the rate of five pounds on each 100 square feet will be sufficient, Ward says. When setting plants, it’s important to place them at the right depth, the crown at soil level. If set too shallow, the plants will dry out and die. On the other hand, normal growth is almost completely prevented if the crown ~pf the plant is buried too deep. Plants should be spaced two feet apart in rows four feet wide. Ward says the plants should be set just as early in the spring as soil conditions permit. For home use, it’s wise to use several varieties which do not ripen at the same time. A combination of Premier and Robinson are suggested for the northern, half of Indiana. In the

southern half of the state, Tennessee Beauty, Premier, and Blakemore are often used. Temple, Sparkly, Pocahontas and Empire are other varieties that also do well in most parts of the state. The strawberry patch should be cultivated often enough to eliminate all weeds and grass. A narrow garden rake is an excellent tool for this purpose is used frequently during the early part of the growing season. Further information on strawberry production is available in extension leaflet 353, "Strawberries for the home,” which can be •btained free from the county extension office.
