Recent checks locally reveal that interest in television shows has fallen off materially. Radio still has its baseball fans. It is interesting to note that while several forms of advertising are losing spectator interest, almost every daily newspaper in the middlewest has shown an increase in circulation the last few months., 0 O—<— James Cochran, native of Decatur and member of the Decatur police force for more than three years has been named to bead the parking meter enforcement division of the police.

At this date, no one knows just what the results will be, but it is likely that the entire law will be considerably liberalized and why not? This is an election year and politicians care more about votes than they do humans. 0 o According to current reports, automation has hit the restaurant business in the United States and many of the larger eateries have installed conveyor belts to remove dishes to the kitchen, where automatic washers and driers do away with a majority of the kitchen clean-up help. A few restaurants are testing an electronic ordering system which does away with the waiters and waitresses. Customers still have to chew the food, however.

Eileen’s earlier romance had been broken up by her mother, and her lover later becomes a doctor. Mrs. Featherstone becomes Hl. but refuses to see the ship’s surgeon. 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 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 the 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. Mrs. Featherstone refuses to leave her cabin, and Dirk and Vai dine together. They become good friends. | CHAPTER 8 DURING THE next two or three days the weather got steadily worse. They were caught up in the tail end of a gale, find giant waves tossed the small cruise ship about as though it were a piece of flotsam. Practically all the passengers were seasick, including, Vai heard, a number ot the crew. Mrs. Featherstone tossed and groaned and kept, wishing she were back on dry land under the care of her beloved Dr. Mangin. “The ship’s doctor might be able to give you something that would make you feel better,” Vai said hopefully. “No, no!” Mrs. Featherstone clutched at her arm. “How do I know te, wouldn’t put poison in the pills hFgave me?” “Oh please, Mrs. Featherstone, don’t be so silly.” Vai tried to speak soothingly. “Quite apart •rom the fact that I’m sure it’s the last thing he’d do, he wouldn’t dare.” '‘But who would know he’d put poison in the pills?” her patient insisted hoarsely. “And since he’s the only one on board who can sign the death certificate, naturally he wouldn’t order a post-mortem.”

Vai saw no sense In pressing the point. She felt tired and rather « seasick herself. Mrs. Featherstone always cheered up amazingly when Dirk came in to visit her. This afternoon, for instance, the moment he knocked and she heard his voice, she said sharply to Vai, ‘‘My comb, my compact, Nurse. Oh, don’t be so alow, and the eau-de-cologne, too, please. Quickly! Just a minute, my dear boy,” she called back to the waiting Dirk. "Putting on the war paint. Aunt May?” he asked, laughing, and added as he pushed open the door, “Quite right, too. I loathe talking to a woman whether she’s eighteen or eighty without the good old war paint on.” “Silly boy! Pm not eighty yet by a long shot! Goodness me, I was still in my teens when Eileen was bom." Mrs. Featherstone patted the side of the bed invitingly. “Come and sit down and tell me all you’ve been doing with yourself today, Dirk dear. I don’t believe you've been seasick at all.” “Well, no,” he agreed. “But sometimes I think seasickness can be used as a very good excuse,”, he said quietly. But he wasn’t looking at Mrs. Featherstone. He was looking directly at Vai. “You haven’t been down to a single meal, Vai; since that first luncheon we had together the day we sailed." She was uncomfortably aware that he had called her Vai, and that her employer had, noticed itBut at the same time she felt pleased. So they were friends, after all “I didn’t know you two knew each other well enough to call each other by your first names, Dirk dear,” the older woman commented rather acidly. He patted her hand and grinned. “I hate calling a woman Nurse — it sounds too clinical. Besides, I hope Vai and I are going to be good friends on this trip. What's been keeping you shut up in this luxury cage, Vai?” he added, smiling. ... "■.....' "I've been looking after Mrs. Featherstone. Besides, I haven’t

Ag Department Puts Out Many Bulletins 2G Million Copies Published In 1955 WASHINGTON (INS) — More than 20 million 'copies of some 400-odd agriculture, department publications were made available for public use last year. This gives some idea of the size of the agency’s publishing operations which cost |2 million a year. The department is now carrying out a program of revising its popular publications to bring them up to date in appearance, content and usefulness. All are designed to help farm people and others solve their agricultural and related probleins. Most of the documenta are tree while others may cost only 25 cents each or lens. Many of the department’s new editions are shortened as they are updated. Since the spring of 1952 there have been nearly 170 revisions of farmers’ bulletins, leaflets, and home and garden bulletins. Each type or series of publication is designed for a specific group of readers. Fanners’ bulletins, for instance, are written in easy, practical, and how-to-do-it language, so that farmers can put the information to daily use.Farmer’s bulletins are the most widely distributed wh'lle technical bulletins are designed chiefly to pass along scientific findings to other technicians and specialists in a given field. The manuscripts originate in various agencies of the department. The authors get no special compensation or royalties for their efforts. COURT NEWS Marriage Licenses John V.

been feeling too wef myself," she admitted. “Then you’d better take your mind off your troubles and decide to come down to dinner, tonight. I’ll take you for a walk on the deck beforehand. There’s nothing like exercise and a good stiff breeze to set you right. Please come. 1 hate eating alone.” He grinned and. added, “Besides, every doctor will tell you that eating alone is damnably bad for the digestion." She laughed, and suddenly her heart felt lighter. “If it’s solely a matter of your digestion, I’ll do my best to come,” she said lightly. “Atta girt Meet me in the lounge bar about seven, eh? And don't wear your uniform.” “Well, really, Dirk,” Mrs. Featherstone said. “Perhaps Nurse hasn’t anything else unpacked but her uniform.” "Oh nonsense, Aunt May! I bet she’s unpacked some glamour gowns even if she only meant to wear them in the privacy of her own cabin." “You mustn’t tease Nurse, Dirk, and I know what a tease you can be. Besides, you’re taking up a lot of her time. I’m sure Nurse has a great deal to do this afternoon.** It was so obviously a hint that Vai grinned inwardly and excused herself. For the past few days she had been haunted by a growing sense of imminent danger. It must be the result of a physical upset, she decided, due to the ship’s motion; the most sensible thing she could do was to go and see the ship’s doctor and get a physic. If it worked . successfully on her, she could surreptitiously give it to Mrs. Featherstone too. The moment she decided on this course she felt better. She took off her cap, ran a comb through her short curly hair, then she readjusted her cap, put some powder over the faint freckles which showed on her nose, and went out through her own cabin door and along the corridor toward the doctor’s surgery. It was odd that she v should feel distinctly nervous as she approached his cabin. /TO Be Continued,
