, Our churches are just as good as we help make them. The churches need us and we need the churches. We can all pitch in and do a little more to make this a better community through better churches. Attend and support your church. —o • p— - — , Pleasant-driving and safe weekends can become a reality if each would put some heart into trying to drive more carefully. Yes, the other fellow is guilty of carelessness at times but that is no excise to add to traffic woes by our failure to drive safelly — drive carefully. , The news of the tragic death of Dr. Harold J. Keller was a distinct shock ,to his many friends and relatives. Dr. Keller had given long and valued service to his country in the air corps during World War II and after returning to Decatur decided upon a professional career. He worked day and night to complete his training and at the same time raising his family in Chicago. We always admired his courage and his enthusiasm for anything which he undertook. We extend our sincerest condolences to his wife and families. 0 0 The reappointment of Everett Hutker to the local school board of trustees meets with the enthusiastic approval of the entire community. Mr. Hutker has given his time and counsel unselfishly to the welfare of our schools. . Many improvements in our facilities can be traced to the present school board. Having lived here for 20 years, and having children in our schools has provided him wtih an excellent background, to

serve in this capacity. Along with Mr. Hutker, George Helm and Dr. James M. Burk provide us with a board of education that will continue to keep our school system at its present high level of attainments. ——o 0 A hint of further regimentation of agriculture is indicated with the inclusion of farmers'and farm workers in the social security program. Naturally there are some objections from the thrifty individuals who, as farmers, have traditionally provided for their security. Ode feels that the farm group should have had an op- " portunity to vote upon the issue. In ourdemocracy, “the greatest good to the greatest number,** does prevail yet a referendum would have been in order on the issue of social insurance. We realise that such a widespread vote would Rave been costly but in the results could be seen the wishes of those involved. 0 0 According to the information released by the Chamber of Commerce industrial payrolls in Decatur for May of this year were upped by more than 375,000 over a year ago with a slight rise in employment in the same area. Building permits value declined after a big increase in April, 1956. Additional increases in installation of electric, gas and water meters reflect the continued growth of Decatur. While many fee! that the peak is near, we continue our growth and it all speaks well for those who promote a bigger and better Decatur. With such the case we need to look toward expansion of municipal services and continued growth of all other facilities for a larger city.

CHAPTER 28 r’ WAS THE lunch hour and Dirk was standing by the bar alone, smoking a cigarette and sipping a dry Martini, when Vai came into the lounge. "Hello, VaL Just in time for a cocktail before lunch," he said easily and guided her toward a table. After they had ordered he gave her a faint smile. "I must say I find it interesting to be condemn* cd as a murderer before anyone knows that a murder has been committed." She touched his arm across the tabla. "You and I know it’s all nonsense." "I do," he said quietly. "But are you sure, Vai?" “Os course Pm sure, Dirk." "My solicitors in England were in touch with me this morning," he told her quietly. “Aunt Maya relatives are already beginning to cause trouble. Obviously they are going to dispute the will." “But on what grounds?" "Undue influence, or insanity, or anything else their lawyers think up. They’ve been trying to spread rumors for some time that the old girt wasn’t strictly all there." “The money means a great deal to you, Dirk?" He looked at her sharply. "What are you suggesting, Vai?” “I just wondered if this money you’ve inherited means a great deal to you," she persisted quietly. “1 see your point,” he said after a pause. He took two cigarettes out of bis pocket and threw one across to her. "You mean have I any right to this money, since if Aunt May had lived she might have carried out her threat and cut me out of her wfil?” When she didn’t answer, he went on quietly, “It isn’t solely for my own sake I'd accept the Inheritance, VaL It would enable me to do an the necessary repairs to our place and to Stormhurst Manor.” “That would matter so much ?”; she asked softly. “I must remember you don’t think much of tradition and tra- • ditional places even « they have a great historical value," he said curtly, "it hasn’t been bred into I

you ever since you were born. My uncle, the present Viscount, and my father think of little else and work for little else." She was trying to understand his point of view, but it was alien to her own. In her own belief there was so much more you could do with money, so much for people, homy people, than merely to keep up some crumbling English country homes whatever historical value they had. “After Viscount Thelmsford’s death, might you and your father live in Stormhurst Manor?" she asked. “Neither of us ever dreamed we eould afford to," he told her seriously. “The upkeep has exhausted all Cousin Timothy's capital. Pm sure Dad would love to end his life there." “But you?" she persisted. He looked across at her obliquely. “I don’t know honestly, VaL I’m standing between two worlds. X understand Cousin Timothy's and Dad’s point of view, and yet there are times when X want to escape from it. X’ve tried to branch out and do something on my own. That’s why I flew out to Fiji and wrote that book last year. Incidentally, my solicitors told me this morning that my agent had written Dad that the book had; been accepted.” “©h. I’m so plod, Dirk. I do congratulate you," she said in a warm, pleased voice. "I’m pretty pleased myself," he said soberly. "You see, it's something Fve done entirely to my way*” ■ After a hurried lunch, Vai went to her cabin, but she wap too restless to stay there. She knew now she must see Bruce. It took a great deal of eourage finally to go down to his surgery and knock on the door and to stand there with a throbbing heart while she waited for him to open the door. "You wapted to see me? Come in, Nurse," he said finally, and opened the door wider. “I thought you might hpve wanted to see me," she murmured when she was inside the surgery and he had closed the doox.

She glanced up into Ms face and suddenly her love for him was mixed with a great sense o< pity•'Bruce, need you have done it?** she asked quietly.« He looked sharply away from her. "I felt it was the only thing I could do, Vai" "But surely you don’t think that Dirk actually poisoned Mm Featherstone?" “I didn’t know what to think, I felt the circumstances at tees death were peculiar." "But she’d drunk too much champagne and Was in a furious rage." “But she might have meant to stick to her threat After all, why shouldn't she?" he insisted harshly, "1 believed you’d promised , yourself to me—and then I heard i that Hanson had told Mrs. Feathi erstone you were going to marry him." i .“That Isn’t true, Bruce," she said quickly. “Dirk told Mm i Featherstone he was in love with i me and that he wanted to marry ■ me. It was as much a surprise , to me as unfortunately it was to her.” “You ask me to believe that!" he exclaimed sharply. “A man doesn't make a statement of that > sort unless he has some reason t to believe that his proposal will be acceptable.” He added hoarsei ly, "I thought you were mine, ■ Vat but it seems you’ve been ’ playing with both ot us."
