With “Courtesy Week’’ coming np for early September, let us be ever mindful that road courtesy needs to be practiced every day. So many of us get a chip bn the shoulder rather than a smile on the face when behind the wheel. Let us be more considerate, save lives and property by being aware of road manners. 0 0 The arrival of summer finds us with plenty of heat which seemed to be so remote a month ago. Our stores are filled with the necessary items that will help make this an enjoyable season, Typical summer gripes are heard but all in all, most of us enjoy this season. Make the most of it, get some sun, watch your diet and enjoy it with your families. 0 o Claims and counter-claims are coming thick and fast. From the campaign headquarters of the many candidates for nominations at the state conventions next week it would appear that each party will have intense sessions. Politics is a serious business with us Hoosiers and 1956 will be no exception. Again we hope that the best candidates will be seleced by both parties. 0 o Now they say “there is nothing in the situation affecting our economy to justify a tax cut." So, the legal debt limit iff raised, we still pay heavy income taxes and seemingly continue in the mad race to spend, spend, spend. Since most of us belong to an era wherein a few thousand dollars was a lot of money, we mutter. grumble and go on jjaying heavy income taxes. Foreign aid. defense and interest absorb a major portion of the federal budget so it'seems that we can’look forward to little federal tax relief. We cau drool over the prospects of a reduction during the up coming campaign — then go onpaying. -.—o Comes now a notice of a nattempt being made by a group of

representative citizens of Bloom-

representative citizens of Bloomington, Indiana, to spearhead a drive to abolish property taxes. The idea seems to be to susbstltute "a more equitable system of levying local taxes.” Mayor T. L. Lemon of Bloomington is of the opinion that the "property tax is outmoded, inequitable and unfair — it is left to cities because they have no other means of taxation available or allowable under the law.” Alternatives might include:, income tax, sales tax. franchise taxes — whereby business should be licensed at a rate in accord with their else, and utility taxes. The utility tax would be collected on each utility bill. That our present tax structure has inequities, we are agreed. It is likely that these proposals would create quite a furore, yet, this group may gain impetus and at least, obtain some improvements in our present system. 0 0 If we were to select a “Mr. Promoter” in Decatur, the honor would undoubtedly be conferred upon R. O. Wynn. For a quarter of a century Mr. Wynn has given unstintedly of his time and talents to a progression of softball. basketball and baseball. In the early 30’s, “Rube” first began to work with boys’ baseball in an American Legion league and it is said that he knows most every mife in Adams County for he has drafted boys, equipment and even managers with the same zest that he now puts forth with both Little and Pony Leagues. He. has managed a national champion Moose softball team, many other county and area ball teams in addition to basketball teams in local and other industrial leagues. Like Topsy. he jgit ''growed" into the present job whfcfT , ls'*'man u -slze<i to say the least. The time, money and effort which he has expended will never be totaled, yet with all this. Mr. Wynn has continued his unselfish dedication to his family and his church. We are thankful that such men are willing to give so much for so many.

Naval Divers Seek Airliner Wreckage Venezuela Officers Open Investigation NEW YORK (UP) — Naval divers will attempt today to find “significant pieces” of the Venezuelan airliner which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean Wednesday killing all 74 persons aboard. The Venezuelan government, aided by the U. S. civil aeronautics board, began investigation Thursday into the cause of the worst disaster in the history of regular commercial flying. The disintegrating impact of the crash about 32 miles off the New Jersey coast left grave doubts as to whether divers would be able to recover large enough pieces of the wreckage to assist the experts. « The airliner, crippled by a runaway engine, plunged straight down in flames into about 120 feet of water. Coast guard dragging operations have failed to locate any part of the plane’s wings or fuselage. Evidence submitted to investigators indicated that Capt. Luis F. Plata, pilot of the doomed plane, might have disregarded CA Aregulationa regarding emergency dumping, of gasoline. The CAA flight- matinal, the approved handbook. recommends that all unnecessary radio and electrical equipment be turned off during jettisoning of gasoline operations.

CHAPTER TT \ 7AL ROSE sharply. She rested V trembling hands on the Captain’s desk, but she didn't look at him. She looked toward Bruce. "You can't have sala that, Bruce! You can’t believe Dirk poisoned Mrs. Featherstone!'’ The Captain started noticeably at her addressing Bruce by bls first namt Again he asked himself if he had let Harridan persuade him into a course of action that might not only prove embarrassing but dangerous? Could all this fuss conceivably be due to some personal spite on the doctor's part? 'Tm sorry, Nurse.” Bruce spoke in the pause and it seemed to her be used the term "Nurse" deliberately, as though to reprimand her for her use of his Christian name. “But X could only do what I felt was my duty and inform the Captain of all the circumstances of Mrs. Featherstone's death." "You Celt your blasted conscience impelled you to call me a murderer?" Dirk said directly, showing anger for the first time since he had entered the cabin. "And quite apart from the fact that 1 didn't bump oil Aunt May, your action is going to cause everyone a great deal of unpleasantness," he added. Privately the Captain couldn’t have agreed with him more, but aloud he said severely, "Come, come, Mr. Hanson. No one has accused you of anything yet" "But until you have your blasted autopsy I’m as good as accused of murder, that’s It, eh Captain?" Dirk said explosively. “I haven’t suggested such a thing, nor have I any intention of doing so. Whatever happens after the autopsy is entirely a matter for the Jamaican police." “Apart from the fact that I gave Aunt May some heart pills shortly before she died, is there anything else against me, Captain?" The Captain scowled down at the notes on the desk. “I’m afraid so, Mr. Hanson. It would seem that a conversation took place in Mrs. Featherstone's cabin shortly before her death, some of

wmen was overheard oy ner steward. The cabin door had been left open so it was not deliberate eavesdropping on his part The steward took his Information to the doctor, who felt that it should be put before me—and quite rightly too,* he added. "And just what was overheard?" Dirk leaned forward to ask gravely. > ', The Captain cleared his throat “Mrs. Featherstone was overheard to say that she was going to alter her will in the morning, and that she was going to cut you out of it Mr. Hanson.” "I see," Dirk said hoarsely. "So because a temperamental woman threatens to alter her will, I am to all intents and purposes a murderer." "I have told you there is no such accusation," the Captain said curtly. "And may I remind you, Mr. Hanson, It was you yourself who mentioned the word murder?" "Kind of you. Captain,” Dirk commented dryly. He added after a slight pause, “Is there any suggestion what Mrs. Featherstone and 1 quarreled about?” “Apparently the cause of the quarrel wasn't overheard,” he muttered. “I feel I should ten you something, Captain,” Vai was beginning when Dirk broke in on her brusquely; "I think I knmr vfaat Nurse Alison wants to say, Captain. She wants to' tell you that in her experience elderly women patients often threaten to change their wills. That's so, isn’t it, Nurse?” "I have heard several of my patients threaten to alter their wills when they got into tantrums with members of their families," she agreed slowly and awkwardly. "But usually it is all calmed down by the morning.” The Captain glanced at bls watch and got to his feet, ending the interview abruptly. “1 don’t think there’s anything more to be said for the present" “May I ask if, until we land, I am to. regard myself as under arrest?” Dirk asked, a hint of mockery was in his voice. The Captain looked pained.

"vertamiy net, mt. Hanson. I have merely been explaining to you the reasons Doctor Harridan has felt unable to sign the death certificate. Nothing will be said of this outside these cabin walls. Naturally you are at liberty to do whatever you please.” There were a few further formalities. The Captain asked Dirk the names of Mrs. Featherstone’s closest relatives and of her solicitors. It was his duty to communicate with them and hand over what information he received to the Jamaican police. Dirk gave him the information readily and added mildly: “Maggs and Forman happen to be my solicitors too. I think I should get in touch with them, by radio telephone if possible.” The Captain nodded briefly. "Good idea, Mr. Hanson.” “Whew!” Dirk breathed deeply once Vai and he were outside on the deck. “I’ve often wonderbd what it would be like to be accused of murder when you were an innocent party—now I know.” “I can’t understand It,” Vai said brokenly. "Why should Bruce have done this to us?” “All in the line of duty, my dear. You mustn’t be too hard on the man you love, Vai darling. Harridan is the sort who, if he had been a member of the Spanish Inquisition, might have sent his own mother to the stake. Til wager he's suffering far more over this affair than we are.” Dirk touched her arm lightly. "Cheer up, VaL I’m not going to hang if that’s what’s worrying you, for I didn’t poison Aunt May whatever Harridan thinks. 1 wonder/* he added slowly, “if he really thinks It, or if his dislike of me has forced him to think it?” "Oh please don’t suggest that!” Her voice broke again sharply. He looked at her oddly for a moment, then shook his head. “It’s his blasted conscience, of course. But,” he half-turned his head and gave her a faint, tired smile, “I shouldn’t advise you to marry a man with so strongly developed a conscience, VaL He might be a difficult person to live with.” {To Bo Cootiotted/,
