Have a good Memorial day holiday and if you use the highways be sure and drive with caution. Drive carefully because July 4 is another holiday and just a month away. Heavy rains resulting in flash floods have been reported the last few days In many neighboring towns and cities, which should remind us all that other cities have sewer, light and water problems. The board of safety is wrestling with the recent request for a >IOO a month salary increase submitted by representatives of the police department recently. It is believed likely that the matter will • be discussed at an early council meeting. Any wage boost would have to be placed in the budget which will be submitted in July by the various department heads to the full council. o 0 — Sale of 1450,000 worth of Adams county Memorial hospital bonds will be made in the next month. One final routine clearance remains and that is the order authorising county auditor Frank Kltson to advertise the , bond sale. This order will no doubt be made by the commissioners at an early date, and auditor Kitson will prepare the legal notice. Following sale of the bonds, construction contracts will be let and actual work should start in mid-summer on the enlargement of the present building.

CHAPTER 16 VAL WAS walking briskly past the officers’ quarters when she found herself face to face with Dirk. He had been sauntering along in his casual way when he saw Vai coming toward him. He stopped, as she did. “Hello, Vai,” he said easily. “Come and lean over the railing and have a chat.” “No, thank you. I’ve come up on deck to walk. 1 need the exercise." “I see Tm in the dog house,” he said; grinning. “Look here, have a cigarette and le|’s find out what’s the matter. You’re not," he raised one eyebrow slightly, “still angry about last nlkht?” “It isn’t pleasant to be mixed up in a brawl,” she said, and turned deliberately away from him. “You seriously think I was drunk, Vai?" She |ras still looking steadily out to sea. “You said you were, and what other excuse could there be for your behavior?” “But you know I wasn’t drunk, I VaL” His hand was grasping her arm tightly as though demanding an answer. She hesitated. "At least you weren’t drunk the last time you danced with me and that was only two dances before that wretched scene." She added with a sharp break in her voice. “Then if you weren’t drunk, why did you do it?” “Do you think I’d allow any man to call me a swine and get away with it?" fitc give her a curious glance and added, “Or perhaps you think that wasn’t sufficient provocation?” “I agree he shouldn’t have said what he did. I suppose he can never forgive you for What happened in the past." "Frankly, I don’t think last night had anything to do with the past," abruptly. “You’re not vary conceited, are you?” ■ She swung toward him and said angrily, “Oh, yes I am, normally conceited. But it is difficult to stretch one’s conceit to a point to believe that two men should suddenly start fighting in the middle ' of a dance floor over a girl they’d hnotfu tbs short tian you and

book and Doris’ 1926 Ravelings, I Ellen was telling her parents of the accomplishments of her class, which led Doris to reminisce on the class of ’26 aid their activities. Karl added his observations and as Ellen closed her year book, Karl came to the' conclusion that basically, youth today and 30 years ago were much alike, only today there are just more of them. Dorie closed her book with the following original poem: Reunion Now we are met together after 30 busy years Os mingled joy and sorrow, of .happiness and tears. Renewing old acquaintances, recalliig childhood tricks. And catching up on what has passed since 1926. One day of living in the past, remembering the days, That passed so quickly and are veiled in time’s enfolding; haze, ’ ; i Has shown us that the faces that we loved are still the same. Though time has etched them deeper and has lent a silver frame. A short intermission was called and coffee, mints aid nuts were served in the social room. _Larry Anspaugh then took a picture of the class members and their sponsor. / During a short business meeting, the gapup voted to meet again

Bruce have known me. I may have : been the obvious cause of the roy, ! but if there hadn’t been a strong i antagonism between you two that * had its roots in the past, it I wouldn’t have happened.” , “I can see you’re on his side. He's captured your fancy in the , same way he did Eileen’s.” “But he didn’t knock you down.” "Na” Suddenly he grinned. “Do 1 you know, it gave me quite a kick ' to think I could knock him flat! ■ He's so much heftier than I am. i T suppose I shouldn’t have been 1 able to do if it I hadn’t been so I darned mad." “And'he wasn’t expecting you to hit him either,” she reminded him. r “No.” His thin face sobered.‘‘BUt he had it coming to him. It’s been coming to him for quite a long whiles There’s no reason why ne should be rude to me—on the contrary.” "You think he should be pleasant ; about the fact that you stole his girl away from him?’’ “That isn’t quite the truth, Vai” She glanced up at Jiim in a startled way. “What do you mean by that?” “Nothing I can tell you at pres--1 ent. And,” he added, speaking more vehemently, “let’s drop this I subject, shall we? I find it bor--1 ing. Let’s talk about something , much more interesting.” "Such as?” He laughed again and when next he spoke it was in his usual pleasant, easygoing voice. “Why net tuk about your eyes and how very blue they are this morning? As Hua as A £hat sparkling sea, I swear." He paused and added in a slightly mocking voice, "Or am I boring you now?” Vai laUghed too. She found it impossible to be angry with him for long. "Naturally I don’t mind,” she said aloud. "No one really minds compliments.” “No,” he agreed soberly. “I think at heart we’re all uncertain of ourselves —we don’t even know where we’re going. I know I haven’t the ghost of an idea where I’m going. But I suppose that denotes a weak ch&ractcr ? M u., She looked at him thoughtfully.

Mrs. Josephine An- ' derson-Nelreiter read parts of let- , ters received from those unable to i attend and the group voted to ■ send pictures to these classmates, i Mrs. Rdbinson, the class sponsor. ■ recalled some of the outstanding • pupils in her classes.

Mr. and Mrs. ißobert Worthman have returned to Decatur after visiting for several days with the John Halterman family at Walled Lake, Mich. " Mr. knd Mrs. William Kruse of west of Decatur motored to Chi- ' sago today. They will return by way of Rensselaer where they will stop at St Joseph college and will be accompanied to Decatur by their son, William. Jr., who has completed his second year of a pre-medic course. William, Jr„ Will spend the summer in Decatur.

I**You wouldn’t be weak if there was something you wanted very much." His gray eyes looked directly ■ into hers, and once again his long, sensitive fingers closed over her ■ arm. "That remains to be seen, s Vai," he said quietly. "Maybe, and quite soon, I'll have to find out for myself just how much strength of > character I actually have." ‘ "You make me say things which surprise myself.” He moved closer to her. “What are you doing to ‘ me, Vai?" ' “I didn’t know I was doing any- , thing to you," she said, but her voice was uncertain. “Oh yes, you are." He added with a short laugh, “And I'm ■ darned if I know whether I like i it or not" ‘ Bruce Harridan stepped out of the officers’ quarters. He saw Dirk . and Vai standing close together by i the railihg and he noticed Dirk’s hand clasping her bare arm in what seemed to him a possessive . way. He strode over to where they were standing, put his hand roughly on Dirk’s shoulder and drew him around to face him. “I just want to give you fair i warning, Hanson,” he said thickly. "Last night 1 let you knock me down and get away with it I had the reputation of this ship, her Captain and her officers to think of, but I hadn’t then, and I haven’t now, any intention ot letting you gj>t away’ with it for long.’< Dirk pulled himself away from Bruce’s grasping hand. “I thought I apologized, Harridan,” he said quietly. "But it wasn’t a genuine apology. It was a farce of an apology,” Bruce said harshly. “You knew it and I knew it And I accepted it in the spirit it was offered.” "Then I withdraw the apology," Dirk said steadily. “Good," Bruce nodded. “We’ll settle the matter once we get on shore then.” Dirk shrugged slightly. ’’As you wish.” - “I do wish," Bruce said roughljt “It’S a definite date.” ; (To Be Continued), 4’41.... ‘
