Read the Daily Democrat advertisements. Decatur merchants realise that the best way to get and keep new customers is to let the public know what they have to offer them. Trade in Decatur and your shopping dollar will go farther. ■ 0 0 Almost every day there is a peddler of some type calling on Decatur housewives. Many of the peddlers sell inferior merchandise and high prices. Many peddlers don’t even deliver what they sell. Housewives, play safe! Buy your needs from a local merchant and in the long run you’U save money and get better merchandise. 0 0 Only the people themselves can do much about controlling weekend traffic in cities. To enforce the laws it would be necessary to have several dozen traffic policemen. Drivers who stop in the middle of a street to tall to some one or to run into a store or to let a passenger out of a vehicle are to blame for many traffic Jams. As long as there are people with such little consideration for others there will be traffic mix-ups and even accidents. How do you drive? ’ ' 0 0 . Workmen, under supervision of the street department and the city park board, are giving HannaNuttman park a complete overhauling. More picnic space will be available this year by the cleaning out of weeds and brush. Playground facilities also will be enlarged. The rest rooms are being thoroughly cleaned and made sanitary and concrete floors are being placed in them. The park is one of Adams county’s beauty spots and it is the desire of the park board to make it the most attractive city parks in northern Indiana. —-0 Monroe street from Second street to Thirteenth street will be closed during the days tor several days this week. Workmen who are completely resurfacing the street have been slowed down by cold weather, but are continuing on the job. Those in charge of the state highway pro-

Ject say it ia difficult to pour and spread the hot mixture when temperatures are low. Each night the street is open (or use, but it is closed during the time men are working on the project. Ip a few days. Decatur will have a new street. ' —0 0 Some times we bear a lot of criticism about the amount of salary paid to our public school teachers. We’ve always contended that it is money well spent, because next to the parents, the teachers are perhaps the most Intimate friends and advisors of our young people. If teachers are not satisfied with their jobs, then it is reflected in their living and teaching. Decatur is fortunate in having a strong school system with excellent teachers. Let’s keep it that way. 0 0 Democrats from every precinct tn Adams county will gather next Tuesday night at the Youth and § Community Center to enjoy a dinner and hear the proba bie issues of the 1955 campaign discussed by state and national leaders. There are a few tickets yet available and they can be obtained from precinct committeemen and party leaders. Claude Wickard, Carroll county farmer and former secretary of agriculture will be the headline speaker. Mr. Wickard is a Senatorial candidate. Many other state leaders will be on hand and a full house is predicted for the dinner. Sheriff Merle. As folder is general chairman of the event. - o o— The primary election will be held two weeks from today. There are three Democratic contests. Both commissioner districts, first and second have candidates seeking to unseat the incumbents. There are three candidates for county coroner. With only three contests in the Democratic primary and none in the Republican • primary, a light vote is forecast. The vote, however, should not be light in any election. Voting is a great American privilege and it only takes a few minutes of your time. Let's all turn* out at this year’s primary election and show the candidates that we are interested in government, too.

And why should they?” He hesitated. ‘TH be’frank with you. Nurse. 1 thought tor a moment some of her dear relatives might nave been getting at you. They're a rotten lot and ever since Eileen's death they’ve been hinting that Aunt May has become peculiar. as it were.

He shrugged again. "Eileen’s death was a great shock to her. It tragic for her, poor dear." Again Vai looked toward him in surprise. His voice had been sad but impersonal. Surely he, the bereaved bridegroom, should have felt the tragedy as keenly as the girl’s mother? •Td better go down and see what I Can do with the old girl," he said in the pause. “See you at C 1955, Mayaie Greiz.

lunch, Nurse.” She watched his thin, lithe body walk quickly down the deck. She had hoped a talk with Dirk, whom she’d thought of as cheerful and, above all, sensible, would have eased her own apprehensions. But, oddly, she felt more worried now than she had before. She was more conscious than ever that something dark and hidden lay behind all this, behind not only the curious incident which had taken place on the gangway but behind Dirk’s attitude toward the girl to whom he had been engaged. “Good morning." A voice spoke from directly behind her. Recognizes Face She turned and immediately recognized the man’s face. She had seen It before, when he was leaning over the railing on the top deck as they had come aboard. Then he had been wearing a 'ight gray lounge suit: now he wore the uniform of a ship’s surgeon. “Did 1 startle you? I’m sorry.” He smiled down at her—he was very tall, much taller than she’d thought him when she'd seen him leaning over the railing on the top deck—and when he smiled one corner of his mouth twisted in a slight upward quirk. “Maybe you did. I’ve seen you before, haven’t I ? You were standing on the top deck when we came on board." His dark eyes swept over her. ft was an intent, inquiring gaze, as though he was trying to find out all there was to know about her in the first minute of meeting. “It was nice of you to have noticed me,” he said. She almost said, “But don’t most women notice you?” but checked herself in time. It wasn’t a comment a nurse should make to a doctor. “I’m sorry I can’t return the compliment,” he went on gravely. “I’m afraid I wasn’t looking at the passengers coming on board. I had certain things on my mind, the same things, as a matter of fact, which had delayed me in London. But I’m glad there is a nurse on board,” he continued as he stood beside her at the railing. “I find by permission of Avalon Books. Distrib

nurses so rnucn easier to talk to than most people. You can discuss things frankly without fear of giving offense.” “You mean you can discuss your cases?” He laughed. His laughter was pleasant and low-pitched. "The devil with cases! After all, a doctoris a human being, you know.” •‘l’ve never thought a doctor was anything but numan off duty or a nurse either,” she added. He smiled gravely. “I’m sorry, but 1 don't know your name As 1 said, 1 came on board late and haven’t had time to glance down the passenger list.” “Valerie Alison." “Valerie Alison — that’s a nice name. And it suits you somehow. Mine is Harridan, Bruce Harridan.” “Have you been a ship's doctor long?” she asked. “Two'years. When I finished my training I had an opportunity to go in with a Harley Street specialist, but,” a heavy shadow fell across his face, "something happened. And 1 felt 1 wanted to get away from England.” “You like a sea life?" Likes Sea Life He nodded. “It has its advantages and disadvantages. Its chief advantage, as far as I'm concerned, is that the good clean sea air has blown the bitterness out of my soul." He broke off sharply and stared down at her as though he were surprised she was there. "1 don’t know why I’m telling you all this." '■ - “But you said doctors and nurses could talk frankly to each other,” she reminded him. “Maybe,” he agreed soberly. He turned back toward the railing. "I always was an impetuous fool." “Maybe that’s why yop dashed off to sea in such a hurry," she commented, smiling too. “If you hadn’t been impetuous, you’d probably have stayed behind, thought over whatever was troubling you and ended up by accepting the Harley Street specialist’s offer. Are you going to stick to the sea all your life. Doctor ?”__ (To Be Continued) ited by King Features Syndicate.

Is it really good manners to use the handkerchief while at the dinner table? A. This is not so much a question of “good manners" as of necessity. When one absolutely has to use a handkerchief, one should try to use it as inconspicuously and noiselessly as possible. Q. Is the double-ring wedding ceremony considered most proper these days? A. Whether the man wears a wedding ring or not is entirely a matter of personal taste, and not of etiquette. Q. Where should a host’s wife sit when they are taking a visiting couple driving? A. She and the visiting wife should sit together in the rear seat. . i , > Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE 0 c Wall Paper Do not attempt to paste on a square patch when repairing wall paper, but cut the edges as nearly as possible after the pattern. If the paper is plain, it is a good idea to tear off the patch, as this will result in a thinner edge that will stick better. The Canary If the canary does not wish to take a bath, try sprinkling a little clean sand in the bottom of the bird tub. The slippery bottom of the dish is often the reason for the bird’s hesitancy. Outdoor Cooking Before cooking anything outdoors, over an open fire, rub the outsides of the pans with soap. This will prevent soot adhering to them. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.

Have you been watching our pigs grow? They were placed in our store March 31. weighing 34% lbs. each. After three weeks they now weigh 90 lbs. each, making a gain of 55% lbs. or an average of 2.64 lbs. per day. They used 200 lbs. of Purina Super Pig Startena at a total cost of 81115. With the total weight of 111 lbs. gained, this makes us produce pork for 10c per lb. With park at 8J5.00 to |15.50 you can see that it is still profitable to feed pigs a balanced ration. These pigs will .be weighed for the final time next Saturday, April 28. Why don’t you stop in and see them this week?
