More than 1,200 attended the affair and many spoke very highly of the party. Congratulations to Clarence Ziner and his committees for doing their usual fine job. The Soybean festival, held this year for the first time, in connection with the Fish Fry is creating considerable interest and no doubt will become an annual affair. o—o Issue Number one of this year's Decatur Catholic high school HiLight has been distributed. The local publication has, for several yean ranked near the top compared with other school newspapers, and every indication is that this year’s effort will meet with similar success. Congratulations to Alan Wiseman and Janice Titus, co-editors; their well trained staff and to the faculty members at Catholic High School. The Hi-Light appears to be headed for new honors in the scholastic Journalism field this year, under the management of the 1956 D. C. H.

We congratulate the owners for their successful effort to satisfy their customers. ——o o— — Check forging has become a nation-wide racket. It has caught fire the last several days in Decatur and has become a major headache for local police and the sheriffs office. No matter how often merchants receive warnings to know the people for whom they cash checks, every so often someone bobs up with a new “gimmick”. Usually the forgers are long gone by the time police get word of the crime. Reports are to the effect that forging has increased 25 percent, nationally in recent months. Five forgeries were reported in Decatur one day this week. The honest person won't mind if you call the bank or ask for identification when cashing a check for someone you don’t know. It’s better to be safe than lose a hundred dollars. o—o We'll soon be heading into the home stretch of the election campaign. Adams county, is one of the few counties in northern Indiana where taxes have been cut this year. This cut has been in line with the progressive over-all program of the leaders of the Democratic party. If you want continued . good county government you are urged to vote straight Democratic in Adams county. The Democratic party is the only party offering the voters a complete ticket of candidates. The Democratic party is the only party in the county to recognize the fact that women are as capable as men to hold public office, by offering the voters two women candidates for major offices. AU Democratic candidates are honest, and capable and they are your assurance that our Government will be in good hands. Don't take a chance of losing your vote. You are urged to vote Straight Democratic November 6.

Due to the fact that I was working during the day and very busy at night getting our new home in order, I was unable to acknowledge all of our wedding gifts. Is it all right to write “thank you” notes now, six months after the wedding? A. Thanks at this time are better than no thanks at all. And it would be nice to state the reason for the delay. Q. When one’s partner has unwittingly given information about his hand during the progress of a bridge game, what should one do? A. Disregard it. Under no circumstances should one take advantage of such information, as this would not only be bad manners. but poor sportsmanship. Q. For how long a time should the bread and butter plates be left on the dinner table? A. Until it is time to serve the dessert.

In her hand Is a paper silhouette of herself with a needle through it Connie looks for another doer that the murderer could have used, but there is nona. CHAPTER 4 PEEN I was standing in the still crowded reception room, grasping at the edge of the desk for support The waltzing music was still ringing in my ears, the dead girl's eyes still staring into mine. Beneath me the Mg desk seemed to rod, the telephones, the stacks sf papers, the open register. It was seeing the name in black and white that snapped me out of it The letters swam, then straightened themselves. Stephen Barton, they said, 7:00—8:00, Anita Farrell, Studio K. It was there in front of me, on the records ... the name of Anita Farrell’s last pupil, the name of Anita Farrell’s murderer. I glanced around. No one was paying me any attention. I reached for the book. My fingers still clutched the cardboard silhouette that I had taken from the teacher's hand. I tucked it between two pages and closed the book. I slipped it under my coat and folded my arms across it. I moved away from the desk and, being unobtrusive, got into an elevator that was headed down. • • • It was nearly eight-thirty when I reached home. The apartment was empty, but Steve had been there. He had changed into an old pair of more comfortable shoes and gone out again, possibly to look for me. I sßd the register under a love seat cushion in the living room and started out to look tor him. He wasn’t, or hadn’t been, at X- any of the places where we ate and drank. At nine-thirty I phoned home. There was nb answer. By tenthirty 1 had been in every bar and restaurant in our neighborhood at least once. I had phoned an <4 Steve’s better friends; I had done everything I could think of to find him. At ten I saw the headlines on the papers: I DANCING TEACHER SLAIN POLICE SEEK WALTZER By the light of a street lamp I read the story.

"ConniV he said, “I went through grade school, high school and a certain amount of Sunday school without rubbing out any of my teachers. With an enviable record like that how can there be any doubt that I could do the same with dancing school?” He dried my tears. He got ay and walked around the room, then sat down again, this time oa the arm of a love seat. He was thoughtful, wondering, and mostly worried. “She was alive when I left her," he said. “Somebody got into that studio between the time I left and when you went in and found her dead." “No,” I said dismally, “nobody did. I was watching all the time." “Connie, somebody . . . some* how ... got in there and put a bullet in her back.” “Hew, Steve? There's only one door, no windows." “Could anyone possibly have got through that door without your seeing him? Couldn't you possibly be wrong about that?
