The fact that you haven't seen any news lately about President Eisenhower’s golf game doesn't necessarily mean that his heart ailment has become such'that he isn’t playing. Wise political strategists have concluded that the frequent mention of his vacations wouldn't be wise politically. So it isn’t being mentioned by a cooperative Republican v press. It doesn’t mean he has quit the game and the vacations. 0 0 Two important actions for farmers were made public this week. Secretary of agriculture Benson has announced that farmers will be paid this year to the tune of more than a billion dollars, to plow under a percentage of their corn, wheat cotton, rice and peanuts. Details of the plan will be announced soon. The other important item is that farmers who used gasoline for production in farm work from December 31, 1955 to July 1, 1956 can now fill out a form number 2240 for a tax refund. The forms must be sent to the internal revenue district office at the federal building in Indianapolis. 0 0 Robert Zwick, Decatur funeral director and Miss Joan Wemhoff, of Citizens Telephone Co. have been reelected to head two important Adams county societies. Mr. Zwick will continue as president of the Tuberculosis association and Miss Wemhoff will serve a second term as chairman of the Cancer society. Both groups are active in all parts of the county, with financial aid and educational services. These organizations work daily through the year in the constant fight to control and eliminate tuberculosis and cancer, two of our most potent killers.

We congratulate Both Mr. Zwick and Miss Wemhoff on their untlr Ing willingness to work in these two most important causes. 0 o If you will take the time to visit the Youth and Community Center some evening, you’ll wonder whqre all the (nestings were being ,'held before the opening of DeCktur’a popular building almost a year ago. Thursday and Friday fights of this week, every available room was in use tor various types of meetings. The only part of the building which isn’t utilised for various types of meetings is the Youth Center proper, which is reserved at all times for the young people. Games and dancing are the popular past-time in the Youth section of the Center and hundreds of youngsters of the area make use of it every night A trip to the Center any night will convince you that it was a much needed addition to Decatur. -—0 Congratulations to the twentyfour young men and women of Decatur Catholic high school who were graduated Friday night nt the annual Commencement exercises. Special recognition was given to Miss Monica Rumschlag and Gerald Voglewede, who had the highest scholastic records. The Very Rev. Magr. J. J. Seimets presented the diplomas and Rev.

CHAPTER 1? PIE NW few days passed uneasily, and the sense of worry and apprehension Vai had had ever since she had come on board this ship increased. During the first few days she had tried to attribute this feeling of uneasiness to the stormy seas and hostile skies, but now with the sea as smooth as could be, with brilliant * sunshine every day and warn starfy ’nights, her original feeling of misgiving had changed to one of positive fear. Os course the quarrel between Bruce and Dirk hadn’t helped, and the suggestion that the quarrel was to be continued once they reached Jamaica made her anxious aad unhappy. She could no longer even pretend to herself that all this was no concern of hers, for now she knew that it did concern her very closely. She liked both Dirk and Bruce, and she would have been a fool if she hadn’t known that they both liked her. She liked them both in different ways and for different reasons. She felt that if Dirk genuinely liked you, no matter what you did he would make allowances. There would be no question of forgiving. But Bruce was of a totally different character. If he loved a woman, he would put her on a pedestal, and while he would worship her wholeheartedly so long as she didn’t disappoint him, be would not„ condone her weaknesses. HevraiM be an exacting and thrilling lover, but other women too would envision him in that role. A sweetheart or a Wife would have always to be on Mr guard. In the next few days Vai had only one conversation alone with Bruce and as it turned dut that Was to be a significant one. She had seen Mrs. Featherstone to bed : and she felt she must go up on deck and get some frtsh air, otherwise there was no hope of sleeping. She climbed the companionway onto the top deck. Below, faintly, ■ she could hear the band playing

dance music, but she didn’t feel like dancing herself. Over dinner Dirk Md urged Mr to change and come to the dance, but she had refused, saying that she had a slight headache and that she was going to bed early. He had given her a long, penetrating glance and said quietly, “You’re evading the issue, aren’t you, Vol? You’re afraid.” "Why should I M afraid?" But she knew quite well what- he mescib "You may be afraid of putting Aunt May in a bad temper, and I must say she has been in a bad mood lately. Even I can do little with her. Or you may be afraid that there will be a recurrence of that incident of the other night You might even be afraid of yourself.” She was silent for a moment an£ then she asked in a very low voice, “But why should I be afraid of myself?” •1 believe you think you may be beginning to hke someone rather more than you should like him,” he said quietly. Involuntarily she glanced across to the table at which Bruce was sitting. When she turned to Dirk again, the expression on his face was faintly mocking. "You see what I mean? And frankly, I don't Wonder that you’re afraid, VaL If l were a girl, Td be afraid for myself if X thought I was falling in love with Bruce Harridan.” She lowered her eyes to Mr plate. "You say that because you don’t like him,” she said. “Oddly, I’ve always liked him,” he said surprisingly. Now as she lay to a deck chair on the boat deck with a rug around her knees, she thought back over that conversation. It Md bean curious that after all that had happened Dirk should say he liked Bruce- Bruce obviously hated him. Was it merely because Pirk’s was the more easygoing and forgiving nature? Or was there something behind all this she didn’t understand? She twisted tetttesSy tel

the caaar. She had hoped to be alone up here, but presently she saw a man’s form emerge from the companionway and the glow of his cigarette as he 'walked along the deck. She knew even from this distance that it was Bruce. Obviously he had seen her lying in the deck chair in the moonlight, for he came straight toward her. "Hello, Vai. I looked for you downstairs Where they are dancing, but couldn't find you." “I didn’t feel like dancing tonight. I felt tired," she murmured. He came and stood near her deck chair and leaned his back against one of the funnels. In the full moonlight she saw , his lips twist slightly. "Is that an ihvitation forme to go?” "No," she said rather too quickly. “I didn’t mean it like that” He bent down and offered her a cigarette from his silver case and she took one. "I haven’t seen you the last couple of nights at the dances," he remarked. There was a pause. "Mrs. Featherstone keeps me pretty busy." she murmured. "The eld tyrant I bet she does! That woman ought to have been dead years ago It would have been better for everyone if She had been.** His voice grated suddenly. She said nothing, but she wished he wouldn’t talk' like that about ' fib employer. It upset her terribly. He must have felt the reproof in her Silence tor he said, *Tm sorry. I know I shouldn’t talk to you like this about your patient, but it's difficult for me not to talk as I feet I’ve never been good at the sort of flippant conversation Hanson fe adept at” His voice had hardened. "I suppose Cm talking out of turn again, criticizing Hanson. Tve noticed you seem pretty friendly with him at the dinner table. And then the other morning he was standing very close to you upon this deck and his hand was on your arm. Perhaps that’s what made me see fed and say what I did." - JT<O Bt Ctontitrvca*
