Mr. Farmer, are you getting your aha re ot these recent im- , mouse price increases ou meat and foodstuff? o o Right today would he a good time to have your auto checked (or winter driving. A few dollars spent today might save you lots of dollars later. , o o Fall grandeur is alowly giving way to early winter and in a few days all of the color will be gone until winter and Jack Frost paint a new and different picture. And it won’t be long. —-o o Shoppers are invited td take advantage of the many bargains being offered in Decatur stores this week. You are cordially urged to make Decatur your permanent shopping headquarters, where quality is king and your complete satisfaction is guaranteed. o o Without the aid of a multimillion dollar slush fund, obtained by brow beating, job selling and permitting inferior construction on federal jobs, provided they give to G. O. P. campaign funds, Democrats are depending on the Joe Smith’s of the nation to return America .to its once proud rank among nations. Q- (JWe wish to congratulate Yellow Jacket Coach Bob Worthman and his footballers, who have just completed thgit best season in several years. Jnjuries played a Kif part Yirsr JSnple Os defeats, almost as big a part, as bad officiating. l.n every, the opponents knew they had been through a towgh game. Basketball soon will be the big dish in high school athletic circles. Let 'er come. It makes for some thrilling week-ends. O' ' O' During the millions es spent this week on radio and television time by' the G.O.P. two statements were outstanding. One referred to the great, savings to thte people in federal taxes and the promise of more reductions. What savings? Have your taxes been reduced? The other referred to the steady, healthy increase in farm income. How gullible do these propaganda spreaders think the American people are?

Better have a little candy or some apples ready. Trick or Treaters are starting to visit homes in the Decatur area, which reminds us. Halloween isn’t far away. o oLew Worthman and John Kintz, Democratic candidates for re-elec-tion as your county commissioners have saved the people of Adams county thousands of tax dollars. You are invited to examine the record; compare Adams county’s highways with those of our neighboring counties and above all. please compare the tax rate of this county. It would be most unwise and most uneconomical to trade this ability for inexperience. f o— —o Mrs. Lorene Fenstermaker.

The personable and prominent Geneva woman, is one of two al»Ie women offered by the Democratic party for major county offices this year. Mrs. Mabel Striker is unopposed for county recorder. The Democrats are the only major party in the county to recognize the equal ability of women. Every voter can be assured that these two capable women will, when elected, serve you in a good and efficient manner. You are urged to vote for them and the entire Democratic ticket November 6. o o Lieut. Gov. Harold Handley. G. O. P. anti-Craig candidate for Governor, in a televised talk, certainly not an address, made a 30minute personal attack on Mayor Ralph Tucker, Terre Haute Democratic candidate Monday night. Handley very modestly admitted that no one else in Indiana could do the job as well as he could and that all Democrats were liars. Standing behind the standard G. O. P. Backdrop, a bigger than life-size picture of the President. Handley refuted Eisenhower’s stand for federal aid; scoffed at the system of federal highways, and for a while, it seemed he was winding up to announce his own candidacy for President. Finally he simmered down, apparently content to represent the special interests in Indiana. He was a poor substitute for Bob Hope.

As the Gazette's sports column “Off the Bench" said yesterday: “The squad* is buckling down to its last practices. , . ,” for November 2 is their debut duel. Need any more be said than: Central is wishing the new squad good, hard practice, and then, in real battle, ACHS will be backing those Greyhounds all the way! Good Luck! —A.C.H.S.— Boosters are readying for the basketball season too. Season ticket sales began when they were available Tuesday to the high school pupils. Next week sales are to end after adults have had a chance to buy them on Tuesday. Oh. yes: Pep club advisor, Madge Cornett, and school secretary, Mrs. Rene Brandt and the four cheerleaders, have selected the yell queens’ outfits — but they’re l>elng kept a secret until November 2. —A.C.H.S.— “Quiet Summer" was anything but quiet last Friday night when teenagers invades their bachelor uncle’s home with a saxophome and a dog named Silas Marner on the Central stage. The senior play audience, numbering approximately 500. laughed amusedly at the revolutionary ideas of the teeners. who DID win the election for their uncle. Eight o'clock, eurtain time, revealed a masculine-looking, sedate study as the setting for the hullalbaloo which was to follow in the whimsical three act comedy.

BYWFMi Connie Barton's husband of almost •re happy years has made her suspicious lately by his Wednesday night absences: his slihls for going cut these evenings have worn thin. So Connie concludes Steve must be having blonde trouble. She resolves to fight fire with fire. She has her jet hair dyed the blondest blonde and seeks to allgre him into staying home. But Steve Inughs at her new hair-do and goes out again. Furious. Connie follows him covertly. The trail leads to the fourteenth fiber of an office building t , , CHAPTER 3 a •■pie first thing I saw when my 1 feet hit the soft, luxurious carpeting of the fourteenth floor wm aa ineiedilbiy beautiful blonde talking to an incredibly svelte brunette with glamorous eyeglasses. The first thing 1 heard was muted, dreamy music. It was more than 1 could stand. I turned back toward the elevator bank and, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Steve bouncing jubilantly down • eorridor. He opened a door and disappeared. A down car stopped beside me and I stepped into it Then I stepped back out again. Gritting my teeth, I walked through the room, on into the Corridor, on toward the door. I put my hand gently on its knob to ease it open just an inch, and I found myself staring through a square glassed peephole into the room beyond. Standing in the center of the room was Steve. His back was to me and he was facing a tall, willowy, ravishing fentale. Her wide blue eyes were flattering Steve with a heated welcome. Her luscious bright red mouth was not only generous, it was inviting. Her figure couldn’t have been real, but I was afraid it was . . . and she was blonde! Very blonde, very, very. But not as blonde as I! My woman's intuition had Jed me to victory on that point Otherwise, 1 could see, I was not doing well at all. Steve moved closer to her, put his arms around her. She shook her flamboyant head at him and he held her tighter. She freed herself and stepped back; she spoke to him with her lips and with her eyes. He held out his arms and she moved expertly into them. They swayed together and Steve stepped on her foot I almost cried aloud. I shut my eyes and leaned my forehead against the door. Steve Barton was taking dancing lessons. He was doing this for me. He was learning to dance for me. When he took me to the Rosewood Room for dur anniversary party we Wouldn’t sit out the evening like a pair of bumps on a log. We would dance! I opened my eyes and looked again. Steve and the sensational young lady were gliding around the room. His jaw was set with a fierce determination, his fore- , head was wrinkled in a scowl. < He wasn't having fun; he wasn’t : ! even enjoying being in the arms ] of a female like that. He was I

having a lousy tone, be was having a dancing lessoß ... because of me. He loved me. I watched the two figures whirl 1 across the floor, and then my heart sank. Steve was waltzing, he was learning to waltz . » . and perhaps that was all he was learning. Perhaps he had insisted on that, not realizing that the number of waltzes a dance band played was next to nil. As a favor to him I would stick around and speak to his teacher after school. I wanted his surprise for me to be perfect. And then, it wouldn’t hurt to let this Monde , know that Steve had a wife, also blonde. Just in case she was getting any ideas about him, I'd let her see what long fingernails I had. I went beck to the reception room and sat quietly in a corner. 1 didn’t want the receptionist to notice me and make it necessary for me to explain why I was here. She had enough to do without listening to a lengthy, embarrassed explanation from a suspicious wife. 1 lit a cigarette and watched this smoothie with the hopped-up spectacles go about her business. She assigned studios to teachers and pupils, directed new students to the head of the school, answered the phone and made entries in the appointment book on her desk. The girl was not only the most efficient receptionist in town, bu| it was a good bet she was the most charming. She was a big sister to all the women, but she wasn’t that to any of the men. I could see that she made each man feel that this business was being run solely for him. She had a touch, a very personal touch. She made me wonder If L, in spite of my 20-20 vision, shouldn’t invest in a pair of those goldbedecked, odd-shaped glasses. Looking at her, thinking of Steve’s teacher and the other gorgeous faculty members 1 had spied upon, I realized that my husband certainly knew ■ how to pick a dancing school. The pupils for the eight o’clock classes were beginning to swarm in now. They were young and old, fat and lean, tall and short Dancing, it seemed, was here to stay. Suddenly there was nothing in the world I wanted to do so much as dance. Steve was still that way about me. It was just about eight .1 put down the elaborate brochure that made. it quite clear that the Crescent School of Dancing was something terrific and watched the reception room fill up with the next peried’s pupils. I watched a shy, awkward newcomer taken in tow by the receptionist She led him down one of the three corridors that spoked from the waiting room, led him toward the processing that would make him, too, social-

Films occupied the Rekgmemob and Photography clubs last Friday. “Ths Clean Look," was the local point of the homemakers’ get to gather, while "Use of Your Camera” carried out its title for Photo club shutterbugs. More year’s planning is coming up for both groups: new film and slides for the photogrophers, and a business-planning meeting for Rekamemoh come next club day. —A.C.H.S.Both tests and pictures were on schedule yesterday for the seniors to keep them really busy. Not just any ordinary tests, either — but the Indiana state scholarship test made it a big day, when 14 future students wrote the extensive. two hour screening test for “big” scholarships. Pictures? Yes, photos for Cen-Trail* and keepsakes really started Tuesday, w'hen the first group of seniors appeared at the Ram Studio in Bluffton. Picture snapping will continue until Saturday morning, when the last group will report for their pictures. —A.C.H.S.— Not just in the varsity roster, but in the junior high and frosh too — that’s basketball! November 1 begins for the frosh-junior high double-header season, when the Greypups host Ossian’s squads. 14-battles schedules are to end February 21, when the squads will travel to Geneva. —A.C.H.S.— Two more sports divisions remain to be recapped, taking a future view of basketball, if you please. Second team members have been practicing hard, but will not be named by Coach Cable yet. Intramural plans, with the guidance of assistant coach John Fruth, began Monday when the signing sheet was posted. By last period Monday 35 boys had their names down to get a head start on the October 30 deadline for intramurals. It won’t be long now, until all sports attention will be riveted to basketball. .... —A.C.H.S.— Soon out of the sports picture will be cross country, an up-and coming-track event at Central this year.

ly acceptable, And then it WM eight o’clock. i In a moment I saw Steve come out of his room and hurry up the corridor. I lost sight of him as he moved into the crowd headed for the elevators. I kept my eye on the door of his studio; I didn’t want his teacher to elude me. I waited until I was sure Steve had left the reception room before I started on my errand. I opened the door marked Studio K and went in. —— The room was filled with music, a gay, lilting waits. It was old Vienna, bright uniforms and flashing sabres, long swirling dresses and arch smiles. Steve’s teacher had neglected to turn off the music. She lay still, as still as death, sprawling grotesquely on the smooth shining floor. In her back just below her left shoulder was a small round hole. Her white blouse was slowly turning crimson. 1 dropped to my knees beside her, reaching for her wrist. The fingers of her hand were curled around a small, curiously shaped piece of heavy black paper. Her arm was extended almost as if she were handing the paper to me. I took it from her. It was a cut-out, a silhouette of a beautiful girl’s profile . . . and her Head was twice pierced by a large, big-eyed darning needle. The needle gleamed wickedly against the black of the silhouette. There was no mistaking the macabre artist’s subject. It was the girl who lay sprawled on the floor, her eyes glassy with the horror of sudden death. 1 stumbled to my feet and started out of the room. Her murderer was somewhere near, very near. There had only been a minute’s time since Steve had left this studio and I had entered it There had been only a minute for the murderer to slip in through the door and . . . My legs stopped moving and J stood facing the door, afraid to open it, afraid to turn from it I had watched that door from the reception room. I had seen Steve come through it, close it behind him. It had not been opened or closed again until J had turned the knob. I forced myself to turn around, to find the other entrance through which the killer had come, through which he had made his escape. Four mirrored walls, shining, solid, met my eyes. There was only one means of entrance to this room . . . the door behind me, the door that Steve had used. I had’ seen Steve with thii girl, and she had been alive. Ne one but Steve had been in this room With her . . . and now she was dead, murdered.

Last Friday night the Deca- 1 tur Yellow Jack-, ets captured their fifth vic-: tory out of eight tries against the Columbia City Eagles. The game was hard-! fought by both teams, and only

the extra points made the differerence between a tie score and a victory for either team, as it did in the Bluffton vs. Decatur game. Nice going team, you did swell! ! —D.H.S.— By the time that this column comes out the 1956 D.H.S. football season will be over. At the time of this writing, the record stood 5 victories and 3 loses. Everyone hopes it is now 6 to 3. Congrats’ to this year’s team, you had a fine season and played some real good games. Good luck to next year’s team, hope you can keep up the record. —D.H.S.— .

Their project is to learn the names and purposes of each of the more important rooms in the Roman house and to be able to draw, in scale, a Roman house. They are doing this interesting project in order to learn more about, and understand better, the people, facts, and events in this period about which they are now studying. —D.H.S.— Last Friday afternoon before the Columbia City football game, the cheerleaders called a pep session in the gym. School was dismissed at 3:16, so there should have been plenty of opportunity for all the members of D.H.S. to go to the pep session. But apparently some of the students decided that a eoke, a candy bar, or something else was more important than coming to the “P.S.” In case the members of the various classes are interested in seeing how well they were represented at the pep session, here are the figures: senior class-20 people; junior class-6 people (not counting the two cheerleaders); sophomore class-12 people; and freshmen class-12 people. Let’s see if we can have many more people from each class at the rest of the pep sessions, this year; or else they might be discontinued! —D.H.S.— Mrs. Chronister’s home ec. classes are now starting new projects for the second six weeks. The freshmen home ec. class has been cooking vegetables and now they will start learning to bake cakes. The sopohmore and the advanced home ec. classes are now starting on a sewing course. They are going to make skirts, bermuda shorts, jumpers, and dresses, which they can wear (they hope!) later on this winter. The girls are finding these things interesting and a lot of fun. —D.H.S.— What did you think of the second issue of she Jacket Journal?
