Less than a week remains to register for the November election. Better check to make sure you’re eligible to vote! ——o o Mr. Motorist, now that you've got your summer repair bills paid, don't forget, we'll have a frost any day now and the temperature will drop to below freezing. Better get the anti-freeze checked and wintr oil put in your crankcase. It will cost you some money but peanuts compared with the repair cost on a cracked engine head. o o You’ll be asked in a few days to contribute to the annual Community Fund drive. You can save the solicitors, all volunteers, lots of time by thinking it over now and being ready to sign the amount of your pledge when they call. Remember, it’s all you’ll be asked for all year from a half dozen major fund raising groups, which deal in children’s benefits and aiding the sick, and unfortunate. 0 0 Millions of Americans will see and hear the opening of the World Series between the Brooklyn National league Dodgers and the New York American league Yankees starting at Brooklyn tomorrow. The nation's favorite past-time will have number one booking on radio and television stations and in the press. It will even be hard for candidates for major political office to get much more than a paragraph in a newspaper or a quorum at an afternoon meeting while competing with the series. -—o ——o The fact that John Welch, form \ er superintendent of the General Electric plants In Decatur and until, Saturday, manager of manufacturing at the General Electric Winter Street plant, has been given another big and tough assignment is nothing new for the Decatur man. Mr. Welch has had a series of big assignments with the great manufacturing company ever since his college days and his fast ascension up the executive ladder is ample proof that he is capable of doing any assignment well. His host of Decatur friends wish him continued success in his new appointment as general manager of the small integral motor department. We are sure that he will continue to contribute his many abilities in

the manufacturing field for years to come. Mr; and Mrs. Welch will continue to reside in Decatur at ••. • ‘ « the present time. O Q The Community Fund drive for contributions will start in Decatur soon. Thia is a joint effort of several worthy organizations and should be given immediate and serious thought by every citizen. Each year, more people are of the opinion that every organization, which is wholly or partly dependent on citizen-contributions for its existence should join the Community Fund. Two special ex--ceptions probably should be the annual Good Fellows solicitation for a Christmas fund for needy local people and the *I.OO membership drive bf the Red Cross. With the exception of permitting a cannister on its service counter for the Good Fellows, the Daily Democrat is giving serious consideration to banning all others and also is considering the thought of giving annually only to the Community Fund. Worthy groups should join the Fund and then we would have only one drive for contributions each year. —O - - -O This will be a busy week and an interesting one for Adams county. The final tax levy for 1957 will be made today. A Representative of the state tax board will look over the budgeting work of each taxing unit and put the final stamp on that work. Through great effort on the part of those responsible, many departments were able to cut down their contemplated spending for next year and as a result Adams county and its various taxing units .will have a lower rate. The tax board can _ -only- reduce the rate-further: it has no authority to increase any levy. Tomorrow, the $450,000 worth of Memorial hospital bonds will be offered for sale by county auditor Frank Kitson. There have been numerous requests from in- - terested —firms concerning the sale. Bidding should be interesting in the face of a rising interest rate apd the fact that there .is a three percent limit on the hospital bonds. Tonight, members*of the Decatur city council will make some important decisons concerning the future of the municipal light and power plant. All in all, it will be a busy week and to top it off the World Series starts tomorrow noon.

CHAPTER Z1 “QEEMS like you haven’t made •3 it plain to Narcissa that you aim to marry her," Armington said. "That’s what I want to talk to you about,” said Kinney. “I’m not a man to beat about the bush, Tom. You know that 1 want her, and I’m going to have her. She’d have come to me before this if you hadn’t given her that job.” It was logical thinking, up to a point But a woman with spirit quite often refused to follow a preconceived course. Armington let that go, contenting himself with a parallel observation. “Unless somebody else hired her." i "Nobody else would takeMieron, knowin’ how 1 feel,” Kinney said flatly. “They wouldn’t be such fools as to buck me. You probably didn’t know the situation When you gave her the job, or that I’d staked a claim, and I’m takin’ that into consideration. But you know now. So I want you to tell her that you've changed your mind.” “You mean, Are her?” Armington asked. “What else? She'll have a better job, just as soon as she gets ready to take it. Like 1 told her, I’m the best off financially as well as the properest man tor a husband in this whole stretch ot country. It's the best thing for her." “I figure that’s up to her to de-, cide, without being forced into it,” Armington retorted. “And / wouldn’t want a wife that hated me." “She won’t hate me,” Kinney said confidently. “I know how to handle women. This ain't for her to decide. We’ll get along fine if you string along with me, Tom." Armington had controlled tiis temper, up to now. Suddenly it broke bounds. “I’ll see you dead first,” ne said thinly. “She’S got a home on my plg.ee as long as she wants IL Keep that tri mind, Dolt Kinney.” He expected an explosion, verbal or physical, or both, at this defiance, and he was vaguely uneasy when neither followed. Kinney merely stared after him, strangely silent, as he turned and left the room. That he had made an enemy, had taken a step which would likely haves. farreaching effects, Armington . knew. But such was his detestation of the man that he didn’t care. He went to where his buggy waited, already loaded, and, untying the team oi spirited ponies from the hitch-rail, swung out from town at a spanking trot Hc d be home in an hour, and

If Kinney wanted to refuse Jo sell to him, there was no other place closer than Forty Mile. But he had no regrets as to the course he had taken. I Half the distance had been ' covered when he heard a horseman on the road behind him, com- , ing up at a gallop. Armington glanced wanly back, but there was nothing particularly suspic- ' ious as regarded the rider who traveled so funously. The only odd thing was to see Bart Hawe in the saddle, or riding with an apparent purpose. Mostly he loitered about Kinney’s big sa*"1000 with a half-asleep air. Hawe seemed in a tremendous ! hurry, pulling abreast of the buggy, keeping right on by. Only as he came alongside the team did ' he swerve suddenly toward them, jerking oft his hat and waving it wildly in the faces ot the startled ' cayuses, yelling in away to rival an Indian on the warpath. That did it Because of the blinders which they wore, the team had not seen the horseman until he materialized so suddenly ' beside them, and the act terrified ' them into a sudden headlong burst ot speed which left the rider behind. Armington braced nis feet and took a firmer grip on the reins, knowing that they were running away, jerking the light carriage along as if it h'ad been ! a toy. But there was nothing to . hinder, and they'd soon run off their burst oi fright. That might nave happened, , given time. Their sudden spurt oi speed carried them ahead, but as they straightened to a run, with ■ Armington iast getting the situat tion ufider control, Hawe again spurred alongside, reaching out • and grabbing ior a bridle rein, apparently with the intention of . undoing the damage his exuberant outburst had caused, to help bring them again to a walk. Instead, as he crowded sharply i in, the terrified cayuses veered to the side, cramping the buggy wheels at a dangerous angle. The , next moment,, with a splintering I crash, the buggy overturned, and • Armington was thrown to the i ground. The team raced another quarter-mile, dragging the shati tered wreck, before tangling ■ themselves m a clump ot brush ; at the roadside and coming to a halt • There had been a witness to the latter part ot this scene. i Mike Foley, who lived neighbor : to Armington, his house a scant . ten miles distant, had been I journeying to lowa with a lumber

Woman Killed By Tripping Over Dog CHATHAM, N. J. (UP) — Mrs. Nora Ferris, 69, Indianapolis, Ind., died of a skull fracture Sunday when she tripped over a dog in her son's home and fell down a flight of cellar steps. Police said Mrs. Ferris arrived on a visit moments before the accident at the home of her son, William Meier. The dog dashed into the stair landing and became entangled in Mrs. Ferris’ legs. She fell down 13 steps and struck her head on a concrete wall.
wagon, wow he pulled up, drawing his team off the road. Tying them to a convenient boulder, he was kneeling there when the now-contrite horseman approached. : :— "Is he hurt?” Hawe demanded. "Gosh, 1 didn’t aim to scare his team. 1 was just Tidin' past and they lit out tike the devil was alter them. Then 1 tried to stop them, and somehow they got all tangled. Anything I can do to help?” Foley eyed the other man disparagingly. He knew Hawe as wfll as he cared to—a man who had no employment from one year to another, but who always had enough money tor his neeus. One ot Dolt Kinney’s crew. “Reckon you've been helpful enough for one day, Hawe,” Foley retorted bitingiy. “1 can manage.” Armington lay bloody and liipp. His left leg was uoubied unaer him in away which indicated that it must be broken, and only his heartbeat was proof that he still lived. Foley hesitated, then gathered him up in his arms. Hawe still lingered. "He ain't dead, is he?” he asked. "He’s still alive,”' Foley grunted. “I’ll take him home. Better find the medico and send him out, right away.” "1 might as well tend to his team,” Hawe decided. “The doc's out ot town. No tellin' when he’ll be baelfcv FoiejFs lips tightened, but he made no reply. As gently as possible, tie loaded the unconscious man into his wagon, then turned his team and headed for Armington's House. The wreckage ot the supplies was scattered for a quarter ot a mile, spilled navy beans, flour, coffee, part of a torr, bolt of cloth, square-headed nails which gleamed faintly up from the dust •So he brought Tom Armington h®me, still unconscious, and was vastly relieved to find a competent woman to look , after him. Foley had been staying close at home, and up to then he hadn’t heard about Narcissa. Back in town, Hawe made his report. "I sure worked it smooth, jusi the way you told me to do,” hf chuckled. “The Whole thing looked lifte an accident. As for Ar mington, he'll be laid up fo> weeks, mebby months, with that busted laig. He won’t be no hindrance to you now, Dolf.” “You blundering fool!” Kinney said furiously. “Get out of here before I kill you! Now the sawbones will have an excuse foi going out there every day!” (To Be Continued)
World Leaders Gathering For Debate In UN Foreign Ministers Os World Powers To Debate Suez Problem UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP) • British foreign secretary Seiwyn Lloyd arrivet here today "determin. ed to stand up for our rights” in security council debate Friday on Egypt and the future of the Sues Canal. So many foreign ministers were in New York or en rounte that the Sues discussions seemed declined to become a precedent-setting and historic session. The foreign ministers of Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union were expected to be present in council debate • the first time in post war years the "Big Four” will have deliberated in public. Lloyd was accompanied by a retinue of experts ahd the chief of the foreign office press division, Sir George Young, to publicise Britain’s side of the case. Lloyd outlined Britain’s position in a statement before leaving London. “We want a peaceful settlement above all,” Lloyd disa. “We intensely dislike the prospect of using force but we are determined to stand up for our rights, the rights of the British people and many other countries as well.” He reviewed W’estern efforts to negotiate with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser first through a committee that unsuccessfully presented the “Dulles plan” for international operation of the canal, and now through s Suez Canal Use. rs Association.

teas worked in secret today to draft a constitution for the Suez Canal Ueera association to counter Egypt's seizure of the vital waterway. Egypt made no secret of the fact that it would have no dealings whatsoever with the organisation. Fifteen of the original Id-nation “Dulles plan’’ nations formed the association to challenge Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nassefs control of the canal Monday. The participants represented about 90 per cent of all Suet canal shipping. Pakistan, Japan and Ethiopia refused to Join. Their delegates were invited to remain on at the conference as observers. Cairo reports said that Egypt would not recognize the establishment of the association .in any shape or form. Sources close to the Nasser government eaid the underlying motive in formation of the association was to find an instrument to promote Western plans for international control of the Suez Canal.
