The weather men have about as accurate these last few days as the football score forecasters have been. Purdue weathered a long Wisconsin jinx and got by Saturday with a 6-6 tie. Indiana finally got into the win column by edging Nebraska and Michigan State kept rolling toward a mythical championship. o o Spiritual Emphasis week opened In Decatur yesterday. A large audience heard Rev. William Hill, Indianapolis, guest speaker. The crowd should and will grow each night. Decatur Ministers are exemplifying the week by having a period daily of prayer and meditation. Let's each of us enter into ( the spirit and purpose of this occasion and take an inventory of our own selves. Following God is the first requisite of a good community. Plan to attend these spiritual services. o o The Sun Oil Co. publishes a monthly magazine called Sunoco Diamond. This month's publication is devoted to the filling station operator and the part he plays in his community. Decatur has a progressive group of filling station dealers, selling all brands of gasoline and oil. While the Sunoco story brought the matter to our attention we would like to publicly salute all filling station dealers for the part they play in Decatur's civic, religious and political life. This area has “Gas Men” who take part in public affairs; they have served on the city council, county and city boards and commissions; they take part in fund drives; church affairs; Boy Scout programs and in just about every event and activity which goes to make our community. As a group, there is no finer: We to say that if each .community the size of ours took inventory of the numerous activities of its filling station men, these citizens as a group would be close to the top in civic, charitable and religious activities. o o - - Thirteen Indiana colleges, none of which receive any state operating funds compose the Associated Colleges of Indiana. While some of its members receive financial help from churches and Church groups, existence is large-

ly dependent on financial aid from altnnni, industry and persons who for some reason or another have taken a liking to the operation of a particular school. Industry gets much of its personnel from smdll colleges and therefore is interested in the success of these schools. Each year Associated colleges sends its top brass, its thirteen presidents throughout the state to sell industry and the people on the small school program. The visits are not so much a solicitation of funds, rather for the public to become acquainted with the programs and problems of Hoosier colleges. These educational leaders certainly are to be congratulated for their effort. They are explaining to thousands their vital importance in the field of education. They deserve the moral backing of every citizen of the state and the financial aid of every progressive industry. o o Judge Donald Bowen in a recent political speech in Fort Wayne lashed out in a vicious attack on the Democratic party, which in itself isn’t serious considering the fact that there is an election coming along soon. Judge Bowen is an eppellate court judge and the sickening thing is that an appellate judge would stoop so low and discard the code of ethics which every Court is supposed to be bound to uphold. We quote from American Bar, canons of judicial ethics: Section 28: Partisan Politics While entitled to entertain his personal views on political questions, and while not required to surrender his rights or opinions as a citizen it is inevitable that suspicion of being warped by political bias will attach to a judge who becomes the active promoter of the interests of one political party as against another. He should avoid making political speeches, making or soliciting payment of assessments or contributions to party funds, the public endorsement of candidates for political office and participationin party conventions.” Far too many of these incidents go unmentioned. Judge Bowen by his own actions has not only dis~.v —— — graced the high court, but he has indicted himself among his fellow jurists with whom he once walkAdwlth honor. -4

CHAPTER 1 I was In a hurry. There are things worse than death. This was one of those things, and it wasn’t going to happen to me. Gently, but firmly, I nudged a lovely old lady out of my way and walked faster. When Paul's line had been busy, I hadn’t waited to call again. I had wrapped my inefficient jet black hair up tn a scarf. I had hustled into some lipstick, tightened my nylons, slipped into my eoat and set out for Paul’s. At the moment Paul was the most important man in my life. The newsdealer at the corner of Lexington and Sixtieth said, “Hello, Mrs. Barton. How is Mr. Barton?" “Mr. Barton!” I snorted, “In France you can shoot your husband for less and get national sympathy. But here in America?” .1 shook my head, , v - I crossed Fifty-ninth, turned west on Fifty-eighth, and I was at Paul’s. A new girl sat at the reception desk. “Where’s Paul?” I said. “Busy. Your name, please?” “Connie Barton. Where’s Paul?" “Do you have an appointment, Miss Barton?” “Mrs. Barton.” To be completely frank about it, Mrs. Steve Barton. Like an utter innocent, I had married the man. “Where’s Paul?” Paul came mincing out of the booth section of the shop. He looked elegant and efficient in his white, high-collared frock. He had a wife add four children, but for professional reasons he played it chic, wan and very aesthetic during business hours. This beauty parlor supported the wife and four children. “Mrs. Barton!" He was glad to see me. He was always glad to see me. I was a constant challenge to the artist in him. “Mrs. Barton, what can ...” "Have you an empty booth?” “Yes . . . number five.” "Follow me," I said. ’ I sat down in front of the mirror. Paul stood behind me, looking at me in the mirror as I yanked the scarf off my head. He put his hands in my hair. "Magnificent," he said. "Coal mist, ebony flame.” I said, “I want to be a blonde.” Paul didn’t speak. “A blonde, very blonde, as . blonde as you can get,” I said. "Make me a blonde.” "No.” His lips were tight "That I cannot do to you.” “You have nd choice. Do as I tell you or all New York will "hear the truth about you. About i.your wife and four children .. "Five now.” TH even tell about your playing football in high school, how you got an offer from Tulane ... you’ll be de-frocked, kicked out ' of your union, run out of town.,. you impostor, you!” "Mrs. Barton . . .” 4 “Break out the platinum!”

Why do you want to be a blonde?” “It’s a matter of strategy. I’m counter-attacking.” “Ah . . . your husband.” “Smile when you call him that.” Paul smiled and said, "Your husband is off the reservation?" I nodded and said, “My husband is over the hilt” "And she ... she is a blonde?" “I’ve never seen her. But Steve is a loyal citizen. He wouldn’t be so un-American as to spurn his wife for anything but a blonde." -—- - “You might be wrong, Mrs. Barton, completely wrong abou| your husband." I proved to Paul how right I was. For weeks now, since early in October, it had been happening. Every Wednesday Steve had dreamed up a reason to be away for the evening. He would come home humming tunes, looking Horribly contented, as pleased with himself as all get out. It was ghastly. It was all 1 could do to pretend I was asleep. When he slid into bed beside me, it i was only fear of the gallows that kept my hands from his throat The first Wednesday he said that his editor had asked him to take over for Jim Hall and cover i some fights at the Garden. In the first edition at noon the next . day I just happened to notice that Jim Hall had the boxing i story by-line after aIL Steve mumbled something at me about a typographical error, but he I never used the “must work” dodge again. ; The next Wednesday he blithei ly informed me after dinner that he was going to see a scalp specialist -about his loose dandruff and falling hair. When Steve’s hair fell, he would fall with it, and his dandruff, if any, was tight as a drum. The excuses got lamer and lamer. He had a friend who wasn’t feeling well enough to sit up with a sick friend, so Steve had to fill the breach. When he came home he wasn’t smelling of rubbing alcohol. It was a scent I couldn’t place, but you didn’t buy it by the quart. That was the way it went Each Wednesday there would be another, a more incredible excuse. "Wednesday," Paul said. "I wonder why always Wednesday.” "It’s her night off,** X said. "That’s obvious." “Yes . . . and that’s encouraging. He hasn’t asked her to quit her job yet" “Don’t try to cheer me up." “Sorry. On the other hand, maybe she’s married and her husband . . . well, for instance, maybe he swims at the Y.M.CJL Wednesday nights. 1 do." “You keep out of this.” It was probably, my fault. I

had let myself get dowdy on Wednesdays, dull and unprovocative. He had found someone younger and gayer, someone beautiful and glamorous with a more up-to-date bag of feminine tricks. He was bored with me. Five years, less just three days, was a long time to be married. But there were still moments when I thought I might be wrong, when I had reason to believe that 1 was still the girl for him. There was our anniversary party next Saturday, for instance. He was knocking himself out to make it a real celebration . . . dinner at Karl’s, the theater, the Rosewood Room for supper, champagne and good music. But he was probably doing that just to build character with me, to keep me happy as I moiled and toiled as his housekeeper. Finally, today, I had faced it. There was another woman. I would have to take steps. ••Paul,” I said, “proceed. Do your daradest, rise to new heights.*’ “Mrs. Barton ...” “Listen, you . . . today's Wednesday. Time is short." “All right, Mrs. Barton, aH right” One hour and twenty minutes later, my old set at the Wee Tokeneke Country club would have deplored me. My dear aunt and uncle who had raised me, not for this, would have disowned me. I wouldn’t have been allowed near the Connecticut College for Women. I would have been run off the University of Bridgeport campus, too ... by the nearest undergraduate into the nearest dormitory. I was that blonde. “Well?” Paul asked tremulously, the plaintive, eager artist. I inspected myself a little more in the mirror. "Do me a new make-up; PauL The eyebrows... a new mouth ...” He wait back to work. "Wen?" he asked. "The mouth ... make it more generous." » "It was already generous, Mrs. Barton.” "Make ft more inviting then. A big hello. Give me more lower Bp.” This time it was I who asked, "Well?” "Mrs. Barton, coloring the hair, a new make-up does not make a blonde.. There are other things.” I stood up, took a deep breath and walked a small circle around PauL He said, in a small voice, "Mrs. Barton, look .. " "Yes?” I murmured. "Look, perhaps a bite to eat, then . . . well, I could give up Swimming at the *T* tonight.” I thanked Paul from the bottom of my heart, but deelined his kind offer. It was quite dark when I went back out into the world, a new woman, a blonde. Connie is heading into trouble where she expects it least. Continue “The Blonde '•* Died Dancing" here tomorrowwk
