With what is thought to be an all-time high of 800 in the swimming pool Sunday it ia obvious .that there are many who enjoy swimming, if the 800 is not a record, it does approach the peak. Use the pool safely — use it sanely. —-0 Let's hope the city wide spraying will destroy or drive out most of the insects.

to find success in the manufacturing field. Decatur Castings company has been a great asset to our community and we wish them many more years of continued success. 0 0 Jamestown, Plymouth Rock, Philadelphia's Independence Hall, Valley Forge, Atlanta, Manila Bay. The Argonne, Surabacbi and the 38th parallel are all important stops in our progress from youth to maturity. We learned to walk with the aid of Washington, Jefferson and Madison. We learned the harsh lessons of adolescence through the. perserverkhce of Lincoln and Cleveland. We have matured through Wilson and the Roosevelts and now, under Eisenhower, have reached the point where other nations look to us for aid and comfort. Yes, we've come a long road since July 4, 1776. Those who were responsible for our Constitution had little idea of Intervening events from *B7 to *56 yet were able to formulate a device so pliable that even the jet age is not beyond its bounds. Political, social and economic problems have been met head-on and though final solution is not apparent in al! areas, the authors of the Constitution would be pleased with the progress we've made. The complexities of today demand a more careful look at the Declaration whose principles were embodied in our present governmental framework. Yes, tomorrow is the anniversary of our first step toward greatness and we need to pause and give thanks for those of an earlier year who dared to think and plan for 1956. , c* '■ & ~~ ’ J

LIBRARY HEWS By the Librarian The summer reading project in the library ia progressing with great enthusiasm. “By rocket to adventure" takes the children to the planets in outer, apace. They travel from the earth to Mars when they read five books. Five more books takes them to Jupitet. Every ten books read then takes them on to another planet Every child who reads ten books or more receives a diploma in the fall. Os the 762 children enrolled there are 81 who have already read the ten or more books. The children are interested in the books they read, they are learning new words, and the older children are reading faster and comprehending the story that they read. If you meet a group of children on the street with books in their hands ask them to tell you something about the story they have just finished. You will enjoy hearing about their books. Comparative records have been made by the booksellers at their national meeting with the year 1947 when there was virtually no television. The sale of books has notably increased, the largest increase lias been in children's books. The library shows the same comparative- increase. In June, 1947, when there were few if any television sets in Decatur, the circulation for adults was 811; juvenile 594, total 1495. This June the circulation for adults was 1664; juvenile 5748, making a total of 7412 books. Next to fiction which always has the largest circulation, history, biography and plays are the most popular with adults. TV has definitely interested people in these subjects. For children, science, history, biography and poetry rank next to fiction and story books. The books on science are particularly interesting to children now. Television has greatly benefited the circulation and the sale of books. 0 — 1 Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE 0 .7..-—L--— Window Boxes Do not allow the window boxen to remain empty all winter. They can be made to look attractive with cedar or pine branches, adding a few sprigs of bittersweet to brighten them up. \ Ironing If the ron seems to be rough and perhaps a little dirty, sprinkle some salt on a newspaper and rub the hot iron on this before applying to the garment. Cooking Fish It ik a good idea to line the baking pan with either buttered brown paper or oiled paper when cooking fish. This wilt eliminate the unpleasant job of cleaning the baking pan.

CHAPTER 31 rIAT AFTERNOON Dirk, V*l and the Carraways swam in the lovely blue-tiled swimming pool of the Myrtle Bank Hotel. On the balcony at the bathing establishment, a native band played American jazz and their native calypso songs. Tm going to have a grand time collecting these calypso songs,** Dirk said enthusiastically, "and all the old folklore that goes with them. By the way, John, I’ve just heard that that book I did on Fiji has been accepted.** < "Splendid, splendid. I hope you're going to let me do the illustrations for the new one.** Dirk grinned at him. “Why else do you think X came out to stay with you?** "I thought it was because you loved us,** Jane broke in. “You know I love you and I appreciate like heck your loving mt But you have to love Vai too, you know.” - Jane looked toward Vai a little doubtfully. ‘Tm sure I could if I knew she was loyal to you." She kicked the water with a small, tanned foot “Why should Vai rush off to Montego Bay now, when we’re all waiting to hear the result of the autopsy?" • Uttle idiot, you.” He spoke quite crossly. “Vai Aos to report for duty tomorrow.” Vai slipped quietly into the water and started swimming away. She sank her hot, flushed face into the Cool water; again she felt wretched and uncertain in her mind. ~ Someone swam beneath her and almost immediately Dirk’s head appeared, shaking the salt water out of his face, laughing up into her wirt : face. "Don't take it tq heart—what Jane said, Vai darling,” he said earnestly. “She doesn’t understand that a job to a job as far as you’re concerned.'* “But I do feel like a quitter.'’ “Nonsense, my anget After an, it was 1 who suggested your i driving across with Harridan and that Feltou girl” He smfled and abruptly changed the subject. *Tfasi took ate a sea

nymph, Vai. Didn't you ever think of the stage? Why did you take up nursing?” ‘T don't know. I suppose Tom’s enthusiasm influenced me,” she laughed, “I didn’t think rd make the grade. I had a heck of a temper as a child and it wasn’t much better, I’m afraid, when I first started my training. But I learned to control it.” She grinned. “Matron made me.” “She must have succeeded very well. I’ve never seen anyone as patient as you were with Aunt May.’’ “I tried,” she said uneasily. "But I’m not sure I succeeded very well. Maybe if I had, she wouldn’t have disliked me as much as I felt she did.” “She didn’t dislike you, Vai. Since Eileen’s death she’s had a kink about young girls,.! think it’s been partly a guilt complex. 1 believe she knew that if she hadn’t interfered with Eileen’s and Bruce’s romance, Eileen would be a happily married woman today. Frankly she made Eileen’s life miserable. As a result, Eileen sometimes drank too many cocktails, and when she did she drove recklessly. It caused the accident which killed her,” be added slowly. “She died at once ?” * He shook his head. “That's the tragic part of it. She was thrown out when the car skidded, but the autopsy revealed she didn’t die until some time later. Unfortunately it was an unfrequented road and no one came along until it was too late.” “How ghastly,* she whispered. They started swimming back toward where, at the far end of the pool, Jane and John were signaling to them. Because of the cloudy weather they changed before they sat out in the big garden shelter and had tea. The atmosphere jivaa more humid, and a strong wind was rising. - Jttte was the first to comment ewthe audden change in the weather. "I think we’re to for a storm. Storms can be* terrific over here, frightening and dangerous, especially if you're up in the mountains." She shivered stigfatly and added, “It’s on storm nights ttokt Em nattves befiere

Most popular container nowadays is a shallow wicker basket that has a fringed napkin laid In it. and several sorts of bread displayed. Q. When a woman has been introduced to you as “Alice Young." how do you know whether to address her as “Mrs. Young" or as “Miss Young”? A. The only thing to do in this someone else nearby whpm you case is to as]k her, unless there is can ask. Q. When attaching a card to a wedding gift, is, it necessary to write the bride’s name on the envelope ? _ ———__... A. Although it is not necessary, it is all right to do so. Purged Romanian Red Leader Dead LON’DON (UP)—The Manchester Guardian said Monday that Ana Pauker, purged Romanian Communist leader, has been dead and buried for a month. „ The newspaper, quoting a Romanian exile paper m Paris, said Miss Pauker died a month ago at, the age of 63 and was bur'ed ■ quietly and "without ceremony.
they see the three-legged calf, and imagine that duppies and zombies walk." •"Blings like that I want Jo write about," Dirk said readily. ••It’s aD part of the remains of their voodoo religion, of course?" “I shouldn’t use the word ‘remains,’* John said gravely. "While moat of the native Jamaicans give lip service to Christianity, and undoubtedly many of them are devout Christians, they cannot eradicate the old superstitions their ancestors were reared on. The old voodoo beliefs are as alive today as they ever were. Just now Jane mentioned duppies and zombies. But of course you know an about them?" “I don’t," Vai said. “Please tell me.” John resumed obligingly. “A duppie is a ghost like ours, the ordinary common old garden ghost of someone who has died peacefully and naturally. The natives aren’t frightened of duppies, but,’’ he paused slightly, ”a zombie Is a different matter. A zombie is the ghost of someone who died a violent death, cut off in the prime of his youth by murder or accident The natives believe that zombies, though buried, are still really alive. Every now and then they leave their graves and walk the earth, and they must keep on doing it until the full span of their lives would have ended in the normal way." There was a slight pause. “Interesting," Dirk commented gravely. "There may be more truth in that belief than we ourselves want to admit’’ Vai glanced across at his face. Eileen Featherstone had died a violent, untimely death. Would she, like a zombie, remain alive until her normal life span had run out? Was that the real barrier between Bruce and herself? Dirk glanced dowr at his wristwatch. “You’ll have to be quick finishing your tea, Vai,” he said practically. “Its almost tithe you were meeting Miss Felton and Bruce in the lounge." Jane looked up again at the darkening sky. "I’m darn glad Z'm not driving over t|je mountalne ■ tonight” ~ •• ~ ~ / fTa Be Oasfwwted) -rir-
