It is your duty as a Citizen and your privilege as an American to vote next Tuesday. Elections are the democratic way of selecting our officials. If every Citizen exercises his right to vote, small groups and tactions won’t have much chance, and we will have honest government. ■ 0 0 American people always feel that after they have seen one of the Nation's leaders, they know him much better. The late President Roosevelt and former President Truman were probably seen by more of their constituents o-than ariy others. Millions of us will never see President ’ Eisenhower, because we don’t play golf. . o ft— ■ Decatur high school letter win-, ners will be banqueted Friday night at the Youth and Community Center at the annual “D” men’s banquet Head coach Bob Worthman and his assistants have guided the athletes through a good season in both football and basketball and the coaching staff deserves commendation of all school patrons. ~- 0 0 — The county treasurer’s office is a busy place this week. Next Monday is the last day for paying taxes without the penalty being added. For the last several years, the percentage of delinquents in, Adams county has been almost nil. If we all were as prompt to complain concerning unnecessary expenditures of money as we are to pay our taxes, our rate would be much lower. —o—o This nation’s greatest Statesman, Sen. Albeft W. Barkley is dead. The great-Kentuckian, former vice-president and long beloved friend of the people died as he so wished, in the harness. Sen. Barkley lifted his life for many years above the role of politician and was regarded by friends and foes as a faithful, fearless and honest representative of the people and their rights. The Democratic party has lost an able leader; Kentucky has lost a stalwart son and the United States has lost the man who has given more than fifty years of his life to honest and able administration of our laws and our constitution.

Announcement has been made that one of the chief topics of discussion at the annual spring meeting of optometrists will be public relations. The Indiana group long has frowned on advertising of the paid variety, but newspapers in this state receive all kinds of items weekly about the good work of the eye men which the newspapers are expected to use, free Os charge. Several prominent men have been invited to address the upcoming convention, including newspaper men, but our guess is as a group they will continue their effort toward the “try and get it free" type of advertising. 0 Biggest job of both Democrats and Republicans in Indiana, the Fourth District and Adams county, is selection of party leadership, following the primary election. County, district and state chairmen and other officers are responsible for the organization of their respective parties to carry en the campaign, of course with the idea of complete victory. No person should permit himself to be named to any party office, unless he has the time, willingness and ability to serve. No party can expect complete victory in any political unit without a good organization. Too often, men want the honor without any idea of the work involved. A good political organization is just as important as good candidates. Good chairmen and vice-chairmen are tantamount to victory. ft 0 The Decatur group of the United Council of Church Women will lead the observance of May Fellowship Day, Friday, May 4, with a meeting at 8 o’clock that night in the chapel of the First Methodist church. Mrs. George Buckley, president of the Decatur organization will have charge of the meeting. Host churches will include Church of God, Bethany Evangelical United Brethren, First Christian church and First Methodist churdh. Purpose of the fellowship meeting is to demonstrate the unity of the women of the nation under Christian leadership. The United Council also leads in observance of two othef days, prominent in the life of Christians. They are the World Day of Prayer and t World Community Day.

SYNOPSIS Mrs. May Featherstone, wealthy English dowager, recognizes a passenger and senses trouble aa she boards the "S.S. Caribbean" bound from England to Jamaica. Valerie Alison, a pretty, redhaired nurse, and Dirk Hanson, who was engaged to Mrs. Featherstone's daughter. Eileen, at the time of her death in an auto accident, accompany her. Vai Is earning her passage by caring for Mrs. Featherstone, an invalid by imaginary ills. Dirk is overly attentive to Mrs. Featherstone, hoping to be considered in her will. Eileen's earlier romance had been broken up by her mother, and her lover later became a doctor. Mrs. Featherstone becomes tit but refuses to see the ship’s sur-geon-having already seen his name on the passenger list, and even fears for her life. Vai meets the man that Mrs. featherstone had noticed among the passengers—Bruce Harridan —and he is now in the uniform of the ship's surgeon. Vai learns that they will both be working at same new hospital near Montego Bay after the voyage. She also learns that Dr. Harridan was Eileen's lover, and that he had threatened to kill Mrs. Featherstone at the time she wrecked their romance. CHAPTER 6 DIRK had already arranged that the three of them should have a small table to themselves at the side of the dining room by one of the portholes, but if Mrs. Featherstone kept to her threat of not leaving her cabin, each meal would obviously become a tete-a-tete between Dirk and herself. Vai wasn't sure whether she liked the idea or not She had hastily changed to an indoor uniform and as she hurried into the dining room Dirk rose smiling to welcome her. She sank down into the chair the steward held qut for her as though grateful to sit down. "You look worried, Nurse Alison,” he commented. “Any fresh trouble upstairs?” ~r She shook her head. "Mrs. Featerstone has been served her lunch, and I hope after she’s had a good rest, she’ll feel better.” Overly Excited “I doubt it.” he said. “The poor old girl seems to have worked herself up into quite a state.” But he spoke almost cheerfully. Vai couldn’t help but be surprised by his continued cheerful attitude since she knew now that the cause of her patient's agitation was something which closely concerned himself. Had Eileen given up her love for Bruce Harridan willingly, or had , - C> ISea Mayeie Greig. .Reprinted 1

her dominant and strong-willed mother forced her to give it up? Vai had thought before that Mrs. Featherstone would flatten out all opposition as a steam rollfer would flatten out a daisy. But surely Eileen, who was after all Mrs. Featherstone’s daughter, must have had some of her mother's strength of character? Had Eileen realized herself that her relationship with Bruce had been a mistake? Uneasy Voyage But how odd that the two meh who had figured so largely in Eileen's life should be here on this 1 .ship, shut in together for ten long days. Would there be repercussions ? Or would they both convenj iently forget the past, as two civilized men Plight? Dirk might, she thought, looking across at his calm, unruffled face as he studied the menu. But how would Dr. Harridan react? He must have studied the passenger list by now and would know that his one-time successful rival was on board. Dirk, having apparently decided on his meal, put down the menu. "It looks as though they are going to feed us pretty well on this ship,” he commented cheerfully. She looked at the long menu with distaste. “I’m afraid I’m not hungry enough,” she murmured. “You should be; we breakfast at dawn. If you can call a cup of coffee and a piece of toast breakfast!” Somehow the casual way he was talking was beginning to get on her nerves. “Yes. But —” She stopped. She was reminding herself that all that had happened previous to this voyage was none of her business. “But what?” he asked interestedly. “I was only thinking that a great deal seems to have happened since breakfast.” As she spoke, she glanced across to where in the center of the room Bruce was presiding at a table composed solely ot women. Bruce was talking to one of the women sitting beside him, but it seemed to her even from this distance that he was distraught. She could appreciate that too. Was he thinking how the past had finally and strangely by permission of Avalon Books. Distribi

I caught up with him on this ship? He was ready to start a new fu- , ture, and he had decided to start I that future in Jamaica. But why I Jamaica? Why hadn't he gone back to practice in England? “He's very handsome, isn’t he?” ! Dirk commented quietly. ‘ She started and turned back to- ' ward hlm aharply - ”1 . . . Whom do you mean?” But she was conscious that she had flushed. i ‘‘Doctor Harridan, Doctor Bruce . Harridan. I saw you watching him. i He’s almost too good looking to be ; a doctor. He should have gone on . the stage. But I suppose good . looks help a doctor in his profession . too. Especially with his women pa- • tients.” -v... , “That’s a non-professional view- > point,” she said coolly. “I’ve often . found that women patients prefer I an ugly doctor.” 1 “That so ?”' He raised one light- . ish eyebrow. “I suppose they’re still clinging to the old-fashioned I theory that good looks and intelligence don’t go together. Os course that’s nonsense, but good-looking ( people do have the advantage that sometimes they don’t have to bash , their brains so hard to get by, and,” he added, his gray eyes twinkling, “I shouldn’t think Bruce Harridan would have to work his : brain hard, if at all, as a ship’s doctor.” Resents His Remarks Oddly she found herself resenting his remarks about Bruce. “This is Doctor Harridan's last voyage. H«Ps going to work "in a hospital near Montego Bay.” “You’Ve talked with him?” She nodded. “Yes.” “Funny,” he mused, smiling as though the idea amused him, “that you should have been talking to him while I’ve been trying to put some sense into Aunt May’s head.” “Did you have any luck?” she asked eagerly. "Oh, she’ll probably come down once she’s convinced herself that the worthy Doctor Harridan doesn’t want to murder her,” he, said lightly. ‘The whole ttyng is too absurd, - isn’t it?” she murmured.
