Zl 0 0 Decatur physicians have had a trying four weeks. Understaffed for a city the size of Decatur, the doctors have been swamped with hundreds of people seeking polio abets, in addition to their regular duties. Waiting rooms have been crowded during office hours and every single Decatur doctor has been compelled to work far Into the nights to accommodate patients. Most readers will say. ‘•Well, they're being paid for it.” but that isn't the answer for the community Doctors are human beings and they face the same possibility of cracking-up from overwork as other people. A few years ago. this city had eleven doctors. Today we have seven and in that course of time, our population has grown more than a thousand. It’s a problem because, few new doctors are in sight for communities this size. o o Decatur people like their football and they especially like to see their home town team win. This is evidenced by the large attendance at the two games played so far at home by the Yellow Jack-' ets. Weather has been ideal on each occasion and the Jacket team, scrapping for the best record by any Decatur football team in the last ten years, Is responding to the large crowds by winning. Friday night the local team meets its strongest opponent so far this year, (Jarrett high school and it is expected that another over a thousand crowd will be on

band. Congratulations are due every member of the 1956 squad. First of a series of five musical concerts is scheduled for the Decatur Youth and Community Center for October 15. The concerts will be attended by about a thousand season ticket holders, members of Adams County Civic Music Association. Five top nationally known musical grpups, including the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will be brought here during the fall and winter months. Ticket sale several months ago met with surprising success, due ■ to the efforts of Glenn Hill, organiser of the county group and his assistants. The drive for the sale of tickets was organized by Mrs Roy Kalver. who received the cooperation of numerous women’s clubs and sororities of the county. The series of musical programs, an innovation in thia area, promises to" be one of the leading and most popular functions of the fall-a nd winter activities at the Youth and Community Center. o- o The Daily Democrat congratulates the Decatur Public Library Trustees, the personnel, Miss Bertha Heller, Librarian and most especially the children and parents of the Decatur area for the astounding success of the summer reading project of the Decatur library. Children of the area totalling 546. read a total of 24,036 books during the three summer months of June. July and August. The splendid project not only filled in hundreds of hours of time for the 546 children but the type of books which were read including fiction, biography, science, and poetry is make these children better readers ip their school work and give each of them a more complete education. Special awards for reading the most books during the project went to Sharon Sutton, Sandra Sutton. Patty Schurger, Alan Zerkel, Donna Birch and Linda Krick, who topped the reading project in the order named. We wish to add a special congratulatory comment to these fine Decatur area young people and we are sure their hours in reading were well spent. o o— — ■ ' The stock market, which is just a lot of figures to us Joe Smiths, has been doing some downward antics in the last ten days.

SYNOPSIS la WUd Went days. Nereis** Hull traveled by stagecoach to Coyote Creek, Moataaa, to marry Emil Jacobses. On* passenger became obnoxious la bia attentions to hei — Dolt Kiaaey. Ha bragged of beiag the richest and most powerful man la the territory, and told her to jltt Jacobses and marry him. Narcissa found comfort ia the presence of Dr. Krd Eklund, who helped her fend oft Kinney. When the stagecoach stopped at Coyote Creeh, •Emil was met waiting for Narcissa. The doctor offered her a ride to Emil's cabin and she gratefully accepted. They found Emil —murdered only minutes before. Dr. Eklund thought of a haven for Narcissa—a position as housekeeper for Tom Armington and Tom's two wild young orphan daughters. For hidden reasons, Kinney wants Eklund to replace Philpott, the surgeon at the local Army post who resigned. When Brd declined. Kinney threatened to expose him as a deserter at Chickamauga. Kinney also has an influence over Major Blake, the post commander, and Blake effected the appointment Erd rode to Emil's cabia in search of the shell to th* murder bullet The doctor was flred upon and his horse killed. He shot the gunman—Deever. a hireling oi Kinney s—and rode. Deever's horse back to town. After Erd took Narcissa to Emil's funeral. Kinney induced him to take whiskey to the restive Indiana. En route, Erd found Plenty Horses, a. recluse Indian, deal from smallpox. And. ominously, the Indian's contaminated blanket is missing. CHAPTER 11 EKLUND came upon the Indian camp at mid-morning. Dogs set up a savage chorus of greeting; children scurried nervously. That was normal, and reassuring, as was the sight of smudges where squaws smoked fish newly caught from the lakes. But there the normal ended. For the braves, those not absent on hunting or fishing expeditions, usually lounged in the sun or snoozed in their tepees. Today they were alert, gathered in small groups, and some were busy at the manly arts, working with bows, with rifles, with paints and the allied endeavors which portended .change and unease. They watched the approach of the buggy with a sharp tenseness which had been missing on his 1 previous visit, and there was uncertainty as well as a lack of friendliness. Eklund pretended not to notice. This was one of the purposes of his visit, to see for himself and try to judge how much truth there was in the growing reports of unrest Which was shifting to-' ward an active hostility. These signs could mean merely that ; camp would be changed, that the' warriors would sweep out in a big hunt for meat, with winter in the offing. But where, in nearly every previous fall, the hunt had been for buffalo, to pick and choose and kill from an abundant and everlasting herd, it would be so no more. The buffalo, even here, far to the north of the great central plains, well off the overland trail of migrant wagons, had suddenly vanished, even as they had done from those other sections. All but a few scattered remnants of the once mighty ~ brown horde were gone. This meant that meat would have to be - obtained elsewhere, and at a much greater expenditure of effort. These preparations might portend a hunt for game. Or it could herald a hunt for the white men who had despoiled the land of buffalo. It was no '.secret that th* younger, more impatient

—F.M.H. S — Each student in the senior typing class has been assigned to do all the typing for a certain teacher, —P. M. H. S.— The band really did great Saturady at the fall festival in Berne. They placed 3rd in their class, although the band has been together for only a short while. The school is proud that they came back with such high honors. The band members were very thankful when three packages came through the mail last Thursday. In these boxes were their new plastic belts and citation cards. They are still in

chiefs declared that the white man must be swept from the land so that the buffalo could return. They had painted a grim picture, dinning it into receptive ears. Destroy the white man or be destroyed by him! The sunlight glinted on far too many rifles to bring ease of mind to the doctor. But one thing, the main purpose of his visit, was reassuring. There were no signs of sicknesa Eklund drove ahead, pretending not to notice, giving no heed to the changed attitude. He pulled up and hailed a chief cheerfully, speaking in English because, though he knew some Indian, it was not the Blackfoot tongue, and Man Walks Alone could use quite fluent English when he chose. “The frost turns the leaves, and I see that the fishing is good,” Eklund said, and indicated the busy squaws. Man Walks Alone was an excellent specimen of the Blackfeet. He was one of the head chiefs, a notable warrior, tall, not yet so wrinkled and paunchy as a few more years would bring, but old enough to command the respect and to possess the ripened judgment which a good leader should have. He stared at Eklund out of eyes which could be warm and friendly but today were cold and obsidian, juid his only answer was a grunV “The deep snows will soon cover the land,” Eklund went on, as if the answer had been all that he could desire. “Now comes the time for the big hunt.” This time, Man Walks Alone merely stared unblinkingly. So did the other braves within sight. “As for me, I come to see if there is any sickness anywhere among my friends,” Eklund added. “But I am happy that there is none visible anywhere in your camp.” The chief grunted noncommittally. Behind his own smile, Ek- 1 lund didn’t like It He was known as a doctor, a friend of all, white and red alike, and he anticipated no trouble himself, not this time, i But "Something definitely was afoot, and the intangible qualities of it were like the storms i hovering over those high nioun-! tains, gathering force for the ■ sweeping blizzards and howling destruction to come. The chief’s attitude seemed to confirm the rumors he’d been hearing. The question was, how far had this thing gone? Hostility could lead to war, or it might be’ checked or turned aside by the right gesture at the right mo- ■ ment. It could be that Dolf Kin- 1 ney had had some such thought in mind. Kinney had been a scout for the army for several years before becoming a trader and supplier. Scouts notoriously had a poor opinion of the average army commander or the regulations, ; laid down by a faraway set of officials, which they enforced. This was a ticklish moment of decision but it was not for him to make IL Whiskey might enflame an encampment to the ex- ■ plosive pitch. On the other hand, j it might be accepted as a pcs-: lure of friendship from white s man to red, and be as calniinp l

a* oil upon the waters. His job right now, Eklund knew, was to carry out orders. “1 bring a present for my friend, Man Walks Alone,” he Went on, and lowered his voice confidentially. “For him, and his fellow-chiefs, and such great warriors as Man Walks Alone nifty deerh' fit to share it with him. A token of friendship.” “How?” Man Walks Alone inquired, and stood up suddenly, from his cross-legged position. He arose so quickly that his blanket fell to the ground. Animation and expectancy were in his face, transforming it Eklund wrapped the reins around the whip, stepped to the ground and moved to the rear of the buggy. He lifted the heavy leather, flap, and by now Man Walks Alone was beside him.. Just what the chief had hoped to see, Eklund wasn’t sure, but from the swift light in his eyes it was evident that he was not disappointed. Eklund lifted the box out and set it on the ground, and before it had come to rest, the chief had snatched a jug, jerked the stopper out, and ped it up to allow some of the fiery liquid to gurgle down his throat. 'He coughed, strangling, almost dropping the jug. It would be as well not to linger around here while this debauch got under way, Eklund decided, and felt swift revulsion at the man who Would send this stuff. “Heap fine whiskey,” Man Walks Alone gasped, once he could speak. “Much fine present.” “I thought you'd feel that way,” Eklund agreed. “You can thank Dolf Kinney for the whiskey,” he added, and saw the understanding come into the chief s eyes. “There isn’t any charge." “That good. Heap much good. Dolf Kinney, good friend. Indian, good friend." / “That's fine, Man Walks Alone. Well, I’m glad that everything is going well. I’ll have to be getting along.” He turned to climb into the buggy, checked as the chief swung back to pick up his blanket from the ground. Eklund stared, incredulous. It was a red-striped blanket — and if it wasn’t the blanket thjat Plenty Horses had cherished, it was a twin to it. Plenty of blankets were of the same color and pattern, but this one was both odd and distinctive. He wanted to ask sharp, pertinent questions, but he dared not show too much interest. An explosive situation could be made worse -by an ill-guarded tongue. But he did risk a question. “That's an odd-looking blanket you have, Chief. Quite unusual. You had it a long while?” Man Walks Alone gathered the blanket about his shoulders with a sort of offended dignity. Whiskey could act with terrific speed with these men of the wilderness, and their mood, under it, altered with unpredictable quirks. “Man Walks Alone blanket,” he pronounced with dignity, and reached again for the jug. Othc.s were coming, attracted by the common lure. Ekhind put h s horses to- a trot. . i To Be

After four weeks together. with first problems ironed out and a normal routine set in. Centralites can tell that it is the good beginning of a wonderful year. —A.C.H.S.— (Since the new faculty members and their departments were named earlier this school year in this paper, next week will start a feature run-down of the new classes and new teachers, telling a bit about each of them in turn.) —A.C.H.S.— Triumph rewards practice and hard work!
