The deadline for filing of a remonstrance against the proposed bond issue for remodelling and enlarging Adams county Memorial hospital is May 10. 8o far there has not been any organised effort against the petition bearing almost 4,000 signers, requesting the improvements. A few "always against” people scattered over the county are registering a mild objection, but they always add they “don’t want their names used.” —o A long needed repair job on sidewalks on the Court House square has been ordered by the county Commissioners. The northwest quarter of the block could be made into a fine parking place for county officials. It is doubtful Is such a project would mar the view of the county building and certainly it would be of great value and convenience. 0 0 The first circus day in Decatur in many years, attracted hundreds of people, children and adults. Congratulations to the Decatur Lions club for bringing the entertainment here. The local club derived a big percentage of the gate receipts and the money will be used in local civic projects. 0- —0—Next big task is the organisation Saturday of the Democratic and Republican county committees. Precinct committeemen and vice-committeemen meet in Decatur at 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon to name the county leaders. District meetings are scheduled for next week. These are important meetings, because in close ♦mu* 1 elections it is the party with the best organization which is the victor. 0 o Indiana's first state-wide Sunday School convention will be hold this year at Marion on May 17 to 19. Ministers, Sunday School Superintendents and teachers from all churches in the state have been invited.

Until the last few days, the weather has not been conducive to spring growing, but nature apparently takes care of that and trees and shrubbery have taken on a coat of green, unmatched in beauty any place. Howers of the early variety are blossoming and while temperatures may be misleading, there is no doubt, spring is here. Gardeners have been busy the last several days defying chilly temepratures and the sun, long prominent by its absence has joined in the march toward sprjng. 0 0 Economic engineers at Indiana University say that 1956 will be as big a year as 1955. They hasten to add that inventories which are high in many lines at present will dwindle off as buying becomes heavier during the coming months. It’s great to have that kind of forecast if there is truth in it It's pretty hard to visualise propserity in some lines of merchandise with the farmer’s income so hard hit Let us hope that the great group of agricultural producers who have been slapped around by everything from low prices for their crops to a veto of the parity farm bill get a better break in the months to come. A prominent local businessman today related a driving experience which could Kaye ended-tn a bad Auto mishap. He'was driving West on Monroe street just across the Pennsylvania tracks. Suddenly two cars, approaching from the opposite direction, crossed the street directly in front of him and parked on the wrong side of the street The drivers, apparently thought nothing of the incident as they smiled when the local businessman jammed on his brakes to avoid an accident. The point is that far too many Ideal motorists are driving and parking their vehicles on the wrong side of streets, contrary to law, merely to save a couple of steps. If the matter isn't corrected soon, we’ll have some serious mishaps.

Vai Is earning her passage by caring for Mrs. Featherstone, an invalid by imaginary tils. Dirk Is overly attentive to Mra Featherstone, hoping to be considered in her will. Eileen's earlier romance had been broken up by her mother, and her lover later becomes a doctor. Mra Featherstone becomes 18. but refuses to see the ship’s surgeon. Vai meets the man that Mrs. Featherstone bad noticed among the passengers—Bruce Harridan—end he la now in the uniform of the ship’s surgeon. Vai learns that they will both be working at the 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 She time she wrecked their romance. Vai worries about the outcome of a possible shipboard meeting between Dirk and Dr. Harridan, who is still very bitter about the past. CHAPTER 7 FXIRK HANBON gave Vai a (M curious glance a* the waiter put the next course before them. "You didn’t believe it was nonsense when you mentioned the episode to me a short while ago up on the deck. Tou seemed to have taken the old girl seriously. . . . But that was of course before you’d talked to Harridan.” “But I didn't know M was the man te whom Mra. Featherstone was referring. Besides, I believed eve* then that the accusation lay purely in her imagination.** "So you suggested to me, insinuating she might be slightly off her 1 rocker.

His thin face hardened. “I don’t i know how much you know about the whole business, but the fact t remains that Harridan did once tell her it would give him great [ pleasure to strangle her with his i own hands.” He looked across at her directly. “But perhaps he didn't a teU you that?**

“He did,” she said softly. “Well, well, to the short time ■ you must have had at your dis--1 posal, you and Bruce seem to have i exchanged some confidences.” He 1 went on, “And since he’s told you so much, probably he’s told you a great deal more.” “Why should he? After all, It’s none of my business." “No,” be agreed slowly. “But somehow I can’t quite see how you're going to escape being involved. Os course it’s an unhappy coincidence that the very ship we should book on should carry my ex-rival as surgeon." “Then you were rivals for Eileen Featherstone ?” Vai asked quietly. “At least Bruce Harridan thought I was his rival,” Dirk said slpwly. She was slightly startled at this reply and also angry. “You mean you knew all the time that she was yours for the asking? That’s a rather smug remark.” He looked at her with a faintly humorous quirk to his Ups. “Oh, I didn’t and don’t feel smug about the situation at all. Eileen and I had been great pals ever since we were kids.” “And I’ve heard Mrs. Featherstone wanted you to marry her,” Vai interposed when he remained silent. "Well, yes,” he agreed, and again there was that faint quirk to his Ups. “Does that surprise you?” Involuntarily she glanced across at Bruce. She said quietly, “I understand Doctor Harridan’s father once worked on the estate.” He nodded. “But since then bis old man has got his-own market garden. He’s done very well He’s a decent chap. I see him often in the village.” “But you don't know him personally? I mean, as a friend?” He looked at her to mild surprise. “Should I? "He’s scarcely 1 my generation, you know.” “That wasn’t what I meant,” she said. I He grinned acroM if

den amusement "You think I'm > too much at a anob to have an exgardener or present market gar- : dener, if you prefer it, as a friend ? ■ Oddly I’ve never thought of myi self as being a snob. Quite the reverse. I’ve spent half my time doing manual labor, as I told you the i other evening." "But at least you may be Viscount Thelmsford one day," she commented. "1 understand that weighed with Mrs. Featherstone.” "You think that may have weighed with Eileen too ?” he asked. But before she could reply he shook his head and went on, "I assure you it didn’t. She was too nice a girl. She was a really lovely person. There wasn’t an ounce of snob in her make-up." “Tm sorry," she said quietly. M I had no right to infer that." There was a pause while the waiter took away that course and brought the next. Dirk remained silent. Had she jeopardized their friendship, or even finished it? But when the waiter had finally served them Dirk gave a slight chuckle. “You’re a regular little firebrand, aren’t you? But red-haired girls usually are. Remind me not to marry a redhead, will you ?’’ -She smiled back at him, feeling oddly grateful for his change mood. “Maybe you won’t want to be reminded! How would you like it if when you were standing in front of the altar 1 suddenly shouted, ‘No, you can’t take that woman to be your wedded wife. She has red hair.* ” He laughed in his pleasant, easy way. "That would certainly create a situation. It would be even more ot a situation if you happened to be the girt standing at the attar beside me.’’ “1 don’t think we need worry about that," she said quickly. But she knew in a maddening way she had flushed again. “Not at the moment,” he agreed quietly. : * \ 119 St „

Reports Attendance At Motion Pictures NEW YORK CITY (Special) —The weekly total of spectators attending motion pictures equals one-tenth of the world's population, according to the third annual report on world communications published by the Cited Nations educational, scientific and cultural organisation. The report describes facilities throughout the world for conveying Information and ideas by press, radia, film and television. The UNESCO survey states that “despite the challenge of newer media, the cinema has retained its prominent role in the world of entertainment.” In the United States approximately 40,000,000 persons, or nearly 25% of the nation's population, attend motion picture theaters weekly. This attendance is greater than the ticket buyers at all the various athletic and sporting events, stage shows, concerts and race tracks combined.

Admiral Byrd Recalls , Ist North Pole Flight

(Editor’s note: It was 30 years ’ ago today that two men flew over ’ the North Pole for the first time. ’ One pf them — the commander — j was Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd t who has since won additional undy- ( ing fame for his Antarctic explore- ' tlons, including three flights over the South Pole. He recalls his experience in the following article.) By Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, USN Ret. ■ (Written expressly for I.N'.S.) WASHINGTON (INS) — At 9:02 a.m.. on May 9, 1926, 30 years ago today, FJoyd Bennett and v I ’ reached the North Pole by afr. . been confronted with what was I Roughly one hour earlier I had , probably the toughest decision of I my entire life. Looking through the cabin window, 1 had noticed a bad leak in the oil tank of the star- ) board motor. Bennett and I both thought that the motor would soon stop. If we turned back, we might be able to make our base at King’s Bay, Spitsbergen. If we continued, the chances were that we would be forced down on the shifting ice of the Arctic sea. Bennett suggested that we at temple land on the ice in order to rejmlr the leak. The ice surface was broken up into fields of various shapes and sizes, bounded by pressure ridges as much as 50 to 60 feet high. Although some of the “fields” looked all right from the air, experience told me that they~were not as smooth as they appeared and that If we landed, we might never be able to take off again. I As commander, the decision was mine to make. With our goal almost in sight, and with the knowledge that we might not find an opportunity for a repeat flight that season, I decided that I could not turn back. We reached the Pole — and, providentially, on the way back we noticed that the leak had stopped. ■ * , On my recent trip to Antarctica. I made my third flight over the South Pole. This trip was made in a four engined RSD — the navy version of the civilian DC4 — and at a speed of some 200 miles per hour. When I think of the facilities that we had on the trip, and of our reserve margins of power and fuel. I. sometimes wonder that we were ever able to reach the North . Pole with our primitive plane. Our tri-motored Fokker, the Josephine Ford, was the best aircraft available to ms at that..time, but very slow and low-powered compared to , the aircraft of today. ! As we sped along over the ice • on the successful take-off. I could i not help feeling sympathy for Ad- ' miral Peary and for the other ; brave explorers who in years past ’ had struggled over - this rough white surface towards the goal of , the North Pole. i In thinking back on our accomplishment at this point, 30 years ’ removed, the thing that gives me ' satisfaction is the thought that per- - haps mankind has benefited from [ our pioneering flight. The North Polar air route, already in use be- , tween the continents of Europe and . North America, has greatly shortened the physical distance between ’ the Old World and the New.
