“June is bustin out all over" may come from a revived song hit (no rock’n roll) but summer seems to be here. Flowers in • bloom, yards green, corn popping through and “all’s right with the world.” Some ot us who were impatient tor warm weather can relax. others can take off for vaca-tion-land. but no matter how you look at it, isn’t Indiana grand? If you happen to be interested in boating and fishing, carpentry, static electricity, power tools, savory herbs, gardenia culture, gas masks, shade tree pruning, slipcovers for furniture, or camp stoves and fireplaces, the United States Government Printing Office has them available. The above are only a tew of the booklets which can be had for nominal fees. It the experts know all those answers, why not an answer for some pressing questions? 0- —0 The Spring Festival is over and many sighs ot relief have been heard. An event such as the Festival does provide a change of pace for both young and old even though some of us are reluctant to admit it The various committees In charge did a splendid job and the Retail Division of the Chamber of Commerce has done p service for many. The weatherman did his part in making this one of the finest events in recent years. If you have suggestions for improving this annual affair, the Chamber ot Commerce will be anxious to learn them. Let’s make next year’s Festival gven better: that is the way Decatur doesit. 0 0 Thursday, June 14. will be celebrated by the traditional Elk’s Flag Day Services. This patriotic event commemorates the adoption of our stars and stripes by the Continental Congress in 1777. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks have held Flag Day services since the inception of the order and have made their plans with Judge Myles F- Parrish making the principal address. The Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion have aided George Alton in making the arrangements and will take part in the services. Plan now to attend an< * become better acquaint-

ed with the American flag which is symbolic of our American Way. 'o o ' The “man of the house” comes in for his share of glory this week. Father’s Day is celebrated annually by all, for "Dad" does need a day in the limelight. Father would appreciate one of those specials that are available at local stores. He woud appreciate the opportunity tor a day of complete relaxation; he would be happy to picnic with Ms family and just a recognition of all his efforts of the past year would be particularly opportune Cor his "Father’s Day." 0 0 Ferd Klenk, sponsor of the Klenk baseball club which is a member of the Buckeye League, is again doing a fine service for our community. He has a good solid baseball team and it certainly merits our support. When one reads of major league teams with well established "pros” committing both physical and mental errors, we learn that local baseball is worth our time and effort. Let’s get out to one of the games soon and enjoy the efforts of the local entry. If you cannot get to the games, give a pat on the back to those who make that kind of entertainment possible 0 Lo_i_ Bluffton is fac®T with the problem of inadequate electrical power and ih a reddnt it’s council, discussed this question and how the problem eould be solved. According to the Bluffton News - Banner, one councilman said, “We re going to buy power.” Decatur's power problem is being carefully studied while we, as stockholders In our municipality, sit idly by and offer little in the form of suggestions to the members of the present administration. With 8400 KW peak load in Decatur, our present facilities are at capacity while Bluffton anticipates a peak load ot 5000 KW peak early next year. The openmindedness of the Mayor, Board of Works and Councilmen. indicates that your suggestions are in order. It is not our intent to suggest a course of action, but it definitely is a responsibility of each of us to learn more about the problems and then to express ourselves to those who must make a decision.

CHAPTER 22 AFTERWARDS Vai felt she uxmust have been mad to have made a deliberate exhibition of herself; She tried to put it- down to the champagne; but she knew it had nothing to do with the champagne. Her action had been instinctive, prompted not from her mind but from her heart She had run so fast she had bumped hard against Dr. Bruce Harridan's chest. “Will you da n c-e with me, Bruce ?” she said quickly. Then for some reason, she laughed. H “I shall be delighted. It was kind of you to single me out—and so obviously," he added cruelly. Bruce looked down at her and said quickly, “Let's get off the floor, for heaven’s sake.” Presently they stood in the prow of the ship where they had stood and talked that first morning. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to her without speaking. She wiped her cheeks and blew her nose hard. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “Did I make a fool of myself and of you ?” “I don’t suppose anyone noticed. At least, that you were crying. But why? I don’t understand, Vai,” he said in a low voice. Her young body slumped against the railing. She said wretchedly, "I suppose I wanted to know why you’d been avoiding me all evening." “Why should you have to know ? And surely it was obvious ?" he said quietly. “You must have done it deliberately to make me feel,” he drew a short breath and added explosively, “miserable!” “But what have I done deliber-ately?"-she stammered. "Dressing yourself up in Hanson's suit. How do you think I felt when you came into the dining room—with him—tonight?” "Why should you mind so much?” she said quietly. He paused. "It was a declaration, wasn’t It? Your declaration as to whose side you Were on.” •(It’s funny,” she said slowly. “But it’s frightening too.”

"What's funny and what's frightening?” he asked angrily. “It’s funny you should believe I dressed like this deliberately to annoy you, and it’s frightening that you—that any' man should hate another as you seem to hate Dirk.” He was silent a mom ent ( “Wouldn’t you hate anyone who took the man you loved from you ?” She too paused before she re, plied. “I might if I had loved him very much once—if I still loved him.” “You think I’m still in love with Eileen?” he asked. “I think there are people who remain in love all their lives even though the person they loved has “died,” she returned quietly: “But not if that person had broken a solemn oath to love them.” "But if that person hadn’t broken that oath? If—you knew Eileen hadn’t?" ‘Then I’d have loved her all my life, and no one but her,” he said simply. She said after another pause; “But do you think it healthy to love someone who is dead as much as all that? Do you think they’d want it?” “Maybe not,” he said finally. “As a doctor I know it isn’t healthy; it’s liable to turn into a neurosis. That was one reason I came to sea.” “That first day you told me the sea breezes had blown all the bitterness bti£ of your soul,” she reminded him quietly. “I thought they had. Maybe it was meeting Hanson again and seeing you two together. I’ve felt as though the whole affair had happened over again, only differently.” “Differently?” she queried. “Well, yes . . . You are different. You’re not a bit like Eileen and yet—” “Wliat were you going to say, Bruce?” she asked. “I was going to say that although you're so different, I thought I’d fallen in love with you. 1 thought 1 might love you as I
Modern Etiquette . | BY ROBERTA LEE Q. What is the correct thing for a man to stay to a woman who is blocking his way when leaving a bus or other public conveyance? A. “May I get through, please?” And as she moves aside to allow him to pass, he should lift his hat and thank her. Q. Don’t you consider it very bad manners for a dinner guest to be late? A. This is considered one of the most serious breaches of etiquette. A guest who is late for a meal in one’s home must have a very good excuse tW justify auy pardon, lines of good wishes on the card Q.

Supposing I had told you last night that 1 would give up my friendship with him?” “Don’t you see what that would have meant to me, Vai darling? He might have taken Eileen from me, but I would have taken you from him.” “Don’t talk like that, please,” she whispered.

It was the cabin steward. “Beg pardon, Nurse, but Mrs. Featherstone would like you to go down to her cabin." "Os courae.

If your patient doesn’t need you for anything important, couldn’t you come up here again? I'll wait ...
