Church attendance in Decatur continues to remain tar above average for cities of this else. Strong Churches are one of the finest assets of a small community and one of the most Important “talking points” when promoting new industry. —o Local Gas company officials make a suggestion to owners of gas furnaces which seems logical. The suggestion is that the pilot light in the furnace be kept burning all summer. The cost is small and the small amount of heat from the pilot light keeps dampness out of the basement and prolongs the life of the heating equipment, by keeping it dry all through the humid summer weather. The suggestion sounds like good common sense. Hon. Claude Wickard, Carroll county farmer and Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator will visit Decatur Tuesday. The former secretary of agriculture and AAA chairman will be the chief speaker at the Adams county Democratic pre • primary rally here. Mr. Wickard. a successful administrator and a successful farmer, is the man, we believe, who can do more to bring the farmers out ot their financial slump than any other Hoosier. —-fl 0 A national emergency has been declared in an effort to cut down the lows of“llves on the nation's highways. Sensible driving of automobiles is the order of the day and you can look for more severe penalties throughout the middlewest for traffic law violators. Even minor traffic violations, such as parking on yellow lines; making U-turns; not signalling turns and stopping in the middle of a street, can cause serious mishaps and certainly the violators of these laws should be punished. How do you drive?

Claude Wickard, Camden farmer and former secretary of agriculture, now a Democratic candidate for United States Senator will be the headline speaker. Several gubernatorial candidates also will be on hand to add interest to the meeting. A big crowd is expected to attend and hear the probable November election issues discussed. The Democratic party in Indiana is strong as the campaign enters the nominating phase. While all of the gubernatorial candidates are conducting vigorous campaigns, not a single candidate has jockeyed himself in,to a position of fighting other Democrats. Indications are that Hoosier Democrats will enter the fall campaign, united and ready to take over and give the government back to the people.

CHAPTER 5 Doctor harridan shook his head. The wind had made his longish dark hair more untidy looking than usual Now he pushed it off his forehead impatiently and turned from the railing to face Vai. “No, Tm leaving the sea. The last time I was in Jamaica on this cruise ship I was offered the job of head surgeon at a new hospital which has been opened near Montego Bay. Tm quitting when we reach Kingston.” "A new hospital near Montego Bay! It’s not the Good Heart Hospital by any chance, Doctor?” "But it is.” His voice was equally surprised. "How did you guess that?" She laughed. Suddenly she felt extraordinarily happy. “Well, there can’t be too many newly opened hospitals near Montego Bay., I’m going out to the same hospital as night sister. I’m working my passage out looking after a patient.” Pleasant Coincidence "You’re going to be our night sister f But—but what a coincidence! What a pleasant coincidence!” He laughed too, his deep, rumbling laugh. "I'm glad,” he added simply. "It’s nice of you to say so, Doctor.” "I know we’re going to work well together, Nurse Alison,” he went on enthusiastically. "Frankly, I’ve been rather dreading working in a new hospital in which I knew none — C 1866. Mayra Crete. Reprinted I

of my team mates.” “Me too," she murmured. "Well, we've’got ten full days ahead of us to get to know each ’ other and become good friends.” ! He went on with that boyish enthusiasm she’d noticed in his voice before: "The run out to Jamaica is grand. In a day or so we’ll open up the swimming pool and there’ll be dancing on the deck at nights.” He added teasingly, “I imagine you like to dance, Nurse Alison.” She smiled quickly. "Oh, I do, but Im afraid I don’t dance awfully well. I don’t get much time for dancing.” Special Partner Again he smiled down at her, his brown eyes twinkling. “I know you dance a good deal better than I da" He paused and added, "At one time I used to dance a great deal, but then it was always with the same partner.” But again he broke off and a shadow fell across his face. When he spoke again his voice had a professional note. "But you mentioned just now you had a patient on board. Nothing serious, I hope?” “No, I don’t think so, Doctor. Her own doctor hinted to me before we left that her ailments were mostly imaginary.” “But what we imagine can often hurt us as much as an actual physical disability.” "Then you believe in psychiatry, Doctor?” she asked quietly. He looked at her in surprise. "But of course. Any medical man who doesn’t these days is an out-of-date foot" Bruce Harridan straightened himself. "It must be almost time for lunch. Suppose I drop into the cabin this afternoon and have a word or two with your patient, not as a doctor but as a friend?" Vai remembered uncomfortably Mrs. Featherstone’s sharp reaction to any suggestion that the ship’s doctor should be called in no matter how ill she was. “I—J don’t think it would be a good idea. Doctor,” she said apologetically. ’"She seems to have an aversion to ship’s surgeons.” “She does?” He looked at her in hr penntasten «C Avalon Books- DUrtribi

Move On Extending 61 Loan Program Stop-Gap Move Is Approved By House WASHINGTON (INS) — Congress has taken the first major step toward extending the World War II GI home loan program. In a stop-gap move, the house has voted to give builders an extra year—beyond the .present July 25, 1957 deadline— to complete the sale of homes constructed under the veterans administration. The action — subject to senate and presidential approval — would mean that applications for home loans could be filed up to the deadline and builders still would have a year to close the deals. Rep. William H. Ayers (R-Ohio) who offered the legislation, said his one-year extension was needed as a precaution against a possible frantic rush for GI loans next year if congress fails to stretch out the program. > • Under present VA rules, home loans in process after the cutoff date automatically die. Unless modified, it was pointed out this would deny GI loans to thousands of veterans. The house vote came as lawmakers considered several different plans to extend GI housing loans to give an estimated 11 million World War H veteran* another chance to use the benefit. A presidential commission headed by Gen. Omar N. Bradley said veterans should be given an additional two years—until mid-1959 — to apply for GI loans. While it was the strongest governmental endorsement yet made for extending the program, the Bradley report was also the most controversial because it recommended transfer of the program to the federal housing administration. Housing industry spokesmen said they would fight the latter proposal on the grounds that the FHA and VA programs are "incompatible.” They said the VA operation is handled as a benefit to the veterans while the FHA is conducted on a business-like basis. Most real estate leaders said they would support a three-year ‘extension of the program — either as proposed by Sen. John Sparkman (D-Ala.) or by Rep. Dante B. Fascell (D-Fla.) The Fascell (proposal, backed by the U. S. savings and loan league, would provide a three-year extension on a sliding scale basis. Each World War II veteran would get a one-month extension beyond July 25, 1957 for each two months in service. In passing its stop-gap veterans housing bill, the house also agreed to amendments which would relieve aveteran of any financial responsibility if he sold his borne I and the Gl loan was assumed by ' another party.

He shrugged his- large shoulders. “But remember, Nurse,” his tone hardened, “there must be no misunderstandShould you consider your patient at any time seriously ill, I mußt be sent for at once.” course. I quite understand, Doctor." She felt a little sick at heart. Fo» some reason Mrs. Featherstone seekied to have intruded herself into the beginning of a friendship that she had .welcomed eagerly. He must have read something of what she was feeling in her downcast face. “Cheer up! Don't let what I said upset you. Nurse.” He was smiling again in a natural, friendly way. “It’s very nice of you to understand, Doctor." "By the way, what’s the name of this patient who doesn’t like ship’s doctors?" ‘‘Mrs. Featherstone, Mrs. May Featherstone.” She added, "She's a widow.” Suddenly she was very concious of the sharpness of the pause. “Mrs. Featherstone!” he ejaculated finally. “Mrs. Featherstone of Hartnell Wood Grange, Hampshire ?’* Grim Look “Yes, but—" She didn’t finish the sentence. The expression on his face stopped her. Surprise had given way to a grim, sardonic look. "Do you know Mrs. Featherstone?” she stammered. "Yes, I know Mrs. Featherstone,” he said finally. “Once I had occasion to tell her it would give me real pleasure to strangle her with my own hands. You see, I was once engaged to her daughter Eileen. But Mrs. Featherstone not only managed to wreck the romance and break Eileen’s heart and mine, but I’m convinced she was indirectly responsible for her daughter’s death. On the rebound —or perhaps owing to her mother’s insistence —Eileen became engaged to Dirk Hanson." (T« Be Continued) 'Uled hy King Feature* Syndicate.
