Members of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce and of the retail division of the Chamber are voting on candidates for officers and directors next week. AU of the candidates will make good civic leaders. —o——o— Our technical society can't get technicians because technicians can't play football or join fraternities, it the surprising report of a recent survey team. The technicians are the men who do the detailed work in scientific investigations. Without more of them, our whole national defense and industrial expansion program will suffer. Now it turns out that in most of the colleges and universities training these students, the courses are limited to two years. Under coUege rules these students are not eligible to play football or participate in some social events. As the result they consider themselves second class citizens and discourage others from taking the courses. They are switching to regular four year courses or leaving coUege with the result we are creating an army of scientists composed of all generals and no privates. It could cost us our industrial leadership in the World. Scandals continue to plague the Republican state administration. Latest is the resignation Os a physician from the staff of the Madison state hospital after he was found with 30 pounds of choice steaks belonging to the institution, in his automobile, when arrested on a drunk driving charge. He was also found guilty of driving while his license had beeb suspended. We hope that Governor-elect Handley can clean up the mess in the state institutions. Because of a series.of recent magazine articles on state mental institutions many Indiana citizens are more aware of the problem. Inefficiency and lack of attention to the patients are serious. Graft among the staff membens indicates a complete breakdown of morale. There are now more mental patients in our hospitals than those of any other type of disease. Most of them have been decent hard working citizens and deserve better treatment.

The Junior Red Cross enrollment is under way this week in Adams county. Mort than 21 million pupils participated in the program last year in the United States. Among the programs the pupils can participate in are the Red Cross blood bank, disaster service as messengers, typists and receptionists and teaching first aid and swimming. It's a worthwhile project deserving the support of the community. —o— —o—— Clarence Ziner has been named district governor of Rotary clubs in the northern third of Indiana. We know of no man better suited for this position. He is the first representative of the local Rotary club to be a district governor and the second Decatur man to be so honored by a service club. Roy Price, three years ago, was district governor of Lions clubs in northern Indiana. No man has been more active in civic, fraternal and service organizations than Mr. Ziner and this experience will be valuable to him and the Rotary clubs. The members of the local Rotary club solidly backed his candidacy not only because they knew him as a past president and active worker to be qualified but also because they wanted the first district governor from Decatur to serve during the fortieth anniversary of the club's founding next year, Mr. Ziner and his friends in the local club conducted an active and vigorous campaign, visiting all of the 39 clubs in the district His elgfiiiop as governor also proves the old adage about there being a silver lining behind every cloud. In the midst of his campaign he took over the entire management and ownership of his business with the assistance of his son. Then serious illness overtook his son and his wife. The annual Chamber of Commerce fish fry, of which he has automaticaUy been chairman for years, suddenly developed into a major civic event denanding more time and energy. For a time he feared he could rot continue. Now the familiar Ziner grin is back again. His son Is back in the business. His wife is recovering rapidly. The fish fry was a huge success. He is the new district governor. Our hats are off to Ziner and the Decatur Rotary club.

MONMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL By Graoe Fuhrman

What makes al well rounded! school? Well,! you would prob- 1 ably say, there! should be a good! sports program,] emphasis on] scholastic rating.] and a good mu-| sical program.] It seems that al-*

though the musical department is important so often it is neglected in the school. That has been the case at Monmouth. Now, as you know, M.H.S. has a good band and these members are soliciting all of the community for money for band uniforms. “Why do they need uniforms?’’ is a question that has been repeated quite often around school lately. They answer: The band has improved greatly during the past year. It has marched in several events, and, as many of you saw, at the Adams Central-Monmouth basketball game. When a band improves this much and works so hard, they cannot keep cm progressing without something to work for. The uniforms are necessary if a band is to pnter contests and become even better musically. In years to come MHS will have a band to be justly proud of, so, if you have not already donated, dig down in your pocket and help the band! —M.H.S.— It looked as if everyone in the Adams Central and Monmouth communities had turned out for the ball game last Friday night when the Eagles, in their first game of the season, met the AC greyhounds. Although the Monmouth boys lost the game, they put up a good fight and MHS is proud of its team.. Last but certainly not least, congratulations to the second team boys who won their first game of the season. —M.H.S.— “Aren’t they pretty” and “They look so neat together out on the floor” were some of the remarks heard Friday night when the cheerleaders made their first appearance in their new outfits. The varsity yeU leaders, Joan Halberstadt, Janet Granstaff, and Marilyn Reinking wear black wool bermuda skirts and white novelty knit sweaters with a yellow “M" on the - front. Jackie Hurst, Jeanette Fuelling, and Joyce Busick, second team cheerleaders, have chosen yellow corduroy bermuda skirts and white sweaters with a black tie at the neck. Both groups

CHAPTER 10 DOTTIE S sister was smiling at me. Now that she bkd told me, I could see the resemblance between her and her sister. In a few years, if Dottie didn’t heed the scales, she would be a chubby, overflowing bundle of sugar and spice like her older sister. Then I realized she had been speaking to me. ‘Tm sorry," I said. “What did you say?" Dottie’s sister said, “Jack." "Jack?" She pointed toward the door. "Here he is," she said. "Back again.” I looked, and there he was, back again. He was walking around the front of a black, twodoor sedan. He had a raincoat over his arm. He came into the store and grinned at Dottie’s sister; 1 could tell he liked her. “Louise," he said, "1 found Phil’s raincoat In the car. He might need it tomorrow." “Thanks, Jack." She took the Coat from him. ‘That was thoughtful of you." "Sure," he said. "I’m thoughtful." He glanced at me witijpjit the slightest interest. For that 1 was grateful. But Louise had to open her lovely rosebud mouth. Her voice was hopping with excitement She was going to love this. “Jack!" she said. ‘Take a look at this young lady." He took a look at me. He said, Tm looking at her and I'm enjoying it But why?" Louise giggled; this was rich. She said, “She don’t mean a thing to you! Boy, you’re not kiddins' . . . memory sure plays tricks. Honey,” she said to me, “say something. Maybe he’U recognize your voice. Speak!" “Bow-wow,” I saicl "Arf-arf.” "Down, boy,” Jack said. "What Is thlst” t "Jack!" Louise cried. "It’s Hester Frost!” “Hester,” Jack said, very slowly. “Hester Frost” The name had rung a bell with him. His memory wasn’t playing tricks. He was remembering, no doubt -that Dottie. bad told him about a babe__ named Hester Frost who had come snooping around, minding their business. His face wasn't pleasant anymore. His lips thinned into a bard tough Hue. His eyes turned frigid. He looked like a kid who was handy with a switch blade and 1 proud of it He didn't like me at ' all. His attitude started the fright 1 churning inside me. < Louise was saying, “She went ' to grade school with you, she's

looked very nice and received many compliments during the evening. The girls have been doing a good job at pep sessions and MHS is going to have an enthusiastic cheer bloc again this year. —M.H.S.— | The Eagle met the Decatur Yellow Jackets Tuesday night. At “deadline time” for this column results of the game were unknown, but win or lose, the Eagles wiU have done their best. Tomorrow night the Monmouth team will play the DCHS Commodores at the Decatur high gym. The students of Monmouth are behind you team. Come on and BEAT 'EM!! —M.H.S.— Merry Christmas! Although it may seem early to be thinking of Christmas, the juniors have been pounding on doors and taking orders for Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and ribbon. All members of the class participated in this successful project. The cards will be ready for delivery during the Thanksgiving vacation. The latter part of January has been set as the time to begin the juniors magazine sales. Juniors wUI renew old subscriptions and take orders for new ones. The class wiU also sell concessions during the noon hour and at ball games for the last semester. The money made from these three projects will be used for the class trip to Washington D. C. in the senior year. (By Claudia Caston). —M.H.S.— Say, did you know that the picture of a band uniform in the upstairs hall was drawn by Jack Miller, an eighth grade band member? Jack was helped by Dave Caston and Melvin Fast, who also did a lot of work on the large thermometer, which shows the daily amount of money the members raise. This committee colors the uniform and thermometer to show the amount of money raised, and fills in the list of donors. By the way, is your name on that list? —M.H.S.— MHS’s principal, Loren Jones, recently made a trip to Indiana University at Bloomington for a day to consult with Monmouth graduates who are in school there, and also to talk with the various department heads about possibilities for making the school more beneficial to college bound students. Mr. Jones reports that it Was a very informative and interesting day. -M.H.S.— The parking lot has been re-

been telling ma Grade school?” “Why, sure, yes!" Jack said. His voice was hearty, playing tbe big reunion, but bis eyes were still frozen. “Sure, little Hester Frost! You sat beside me in Miss Koehler's room. Whatever happened to you?” "Whatever happened to Miss Koehler?" I asked. “Say, do you remember Archie Hall?" “That stinker? Well, it’s been swell seeing you again, Jack. I’ll be running < along now ..." I started for the door. His hand was around my right arm, just above the elbow. 1 had no idea dancing teachers were so strong. This was painful. “What’s the rush?" he said. "Let’a have a drink down the street ... for old time's sake.” “Thanks . . . but no." "Go ahead, honey," Louise said. “It’s all right. Dottle’s not the jealous type.” "No, really . . . Tm late." “I'll drive you there," Jack said. "Wherever it is.” "Don’t bother, I. .. • "It’D be a pleasure." He steered me forcibly toward - the door. "Drop in again, Hester," Louise called after us. “This has been , fun.” Jack Walston pulled me into the front seat of the car. He flicked on the headlights and ( started the motor, his right hand , still on my wrist. 1 never had liked one-arm drivers; 1 hated , this one, At the first corner he i turned right He stopped, parked in the middle of the block. He i let go of my wrist He swung his 1 body around under the steering wheel to face me. He said, “Hester Frost . . . is that your real name 1" “Os course.” He was silent for a moment "You got yourself a job teaching at Crescent ... the morning after the murder. Yob got Anita Farrell’s job. Coincidence, Isn’t it?" “Somebody had to take her place,” I said. "But then you start prying into Other people’s affairs . . . why?” • ' 1 didn’t answer him; I couldn’t ' Again he Said, “Why?* 1 heard myself babbling some- i thing about being a special in- I vestigator for the police .. . that < the cops wanted to know why he was so Interested in Anita Farrell’s apartment . * . that if he’d answer a f«w questions I might consider giving him a break. He was laughing at me. He

surfaced and everyone who comes to MHS ball games will be glad to know that he no longer need to worry about getting stuck if it rains. This improvement also makes the area around look much neater and all students and teachers are very glad for it. —M.H.S.— First grade teacher, Mrs. Alice Martin, has a new easel to use in her reading classes. A new bookcase has also been added to the room. These were niade by the industrial arts boys andtAhe first graders were grateful 'fb'r them. —M.H.S.— By Tuesday afternoon the “mercury” in the band thermometer ; had gone up considerably and the list of donors was much longer. The band uniform had been colored to show that there is now enough money raised to buy the slacks of the uniform. The band members are determined to make this drive a success. Remember, there is still time for you to make a donation to the fund if you have not already done so. Many interesting talks will be heard this week, when the speech class members learn to give talks of explanation. Such subjects as “lemons,” “a saxophone,” and “mushrooms” will be discussed and explained. The value of these assignments is in that they teach students to speak clearly and precisely. PLEASANT MILLS HIGH By Kay Archer

How about that? Just one point difference. I f you missed the P. M. - Hartford game last Friday night, you missed a game of real excitement. This was a close game all the way through

with only 1 or 2 points difference at the end of each quarter. Jerry Williamson was high point man with 17 points. John Frey, who fouled out in the 4th quarter, came in 2nd with 13 points. Not only did the varsity play a real thriller, but so did the preliminary team which lost by just 2 points. Be sure to come to support your team. If you miss a game, it may be one of the best games played. From watching the games already played, one could easily see that coming to see P. M. play would be well-worth toe money. —P.M.H.S.— P. M.’s next game is Friday with toe Willshire, Ohio, Bearcats. Go you, Spartans, and beat Will-1

wasn’t malting any noise, but he was laughing. “Hiya, Blondie,” he said. “You're cute.” “Now, listen," I said, “I don’t want to have any trouble with you.” “Mata,” he said. “Mata Hart.” “You ahswer my questions and »• “Oh, stop it,” he said. “You just answer my questions and I’ll let you go.” “You’ll let me go?” he asked quietly. “Look, you don't nave me. 1 have you.” “Let’s put it this way ... we have each other.” He said, “Your hands are shaking." I clenched my hands together, tight. He said, "They should be shaking. 1 have a very vicious streak in me. 1 fight people who bother me . . . and Dottie." With one of my shaking hands, I jammed down the door handle, shoved against the door with my shoulder. He grabbed at me and missed. 1 was out on the sidewalk. He got out the door on his side and started around the hood of the car toward me. 1 scrambled back into the car, got the door closed and locked. 1 lurched across the seat and locked the other door just in time. 1 turned on the ignition, stepped on the starter..He was shaking the/loor handle. The car lunged forward and sent him sprawling. As I turned the nearest corner, 1 saw him in the rear view mirror. He was on his feet again, his hands on his hips, watching me disappear. 1 had got away from Jack Walston. 1 had learned a thing or two about him and Dottie Harris. 1 was doing better this evening than 1 had all day. But 1 didn’t feel better for it. The Barton family was going rapidly to seed. Mr. Barton was the Waltzer, that maniac killer that the police of the world’s largest city were seeking. Mrs. Barton was, at the moment, driving the streete of Kew Gardens in a car she had stolen. 1 abandoned it at the subway station. 1 parked it within sight of an honest looking cop and headed for home. 1 didn't duck under the turnstile. 1 paid my fare and that returned to me a little of my self respect I wasn’t completely unregenerate yet . A- - unwelcome visitor is waiting at home for Connie as Chapter 17 of ‘The Blonde Died Dancing” continues here tomorrow.

shire; make this another victory! —P.M.H.S.— Arnold Getting, coach of toe 7th and Bth grade basketball team, handed out suits to the first 10 Monday. Those receiving suits were these 7th graders: John Archer, Ronnie Daniels, Raymond Cook, Melvin Ohler, and John Snyder. Bth graders: David Archer, Roy Ehrsam, Charles Fisher, Robert Martz and Jerry Smith. | Their first game is scheduled' with Ohio City, tonight here. The game will take place immediately 'after school. Good luck, 7th grade! —P.M.H.S.— A pre-Thanksgiving bake sale is to be held Saturday, November 17, at Western Auto in Decatur. It is being sponsored by toe band. An assortment of baked goods will be on hand, so get down there at 9, when they begin selling, and get your choice before things are all picked over! —P.M.H.S.— Both girls’ and boys* quarters enjoy singing and taking part in church services. This is proved by their many different appearances. Last Sunday toe boys' quartet took an enjoyable trip to Delphos, Ohio, where they sang at toe E. U. B. church. The girls’ quartet sang Wednesday night for the revival meeting at Union Chapel church. —P.M.H.S.— All toe Ist and 2nd graders are “hepped up” over their newly established “Rhythm Band” that has been revived this year under the direction of Mrs. Helen Ehrsam. Each student will take part in this band and even a twirler, Judy Stetler, has been selected to lead it. This has been a big accomplishment for the Ist and 2nd graders, since it not only gives them good practice but also good experience. —P.M.H.S.— The junior and senior art class has graduated from crayon drawing to oil painting. They are now painting lans capes, but will be painting animals and portraits in the very near future. —P.M.H.S.— The elementary students have their eyes on the Thanksgiving projects on which they are now working. Many of toe rooms are being decorated with Thanksgiving turkeys, pumpkins, etc. by these students. —P.M.H.S.— Do you think you could broadcast the news over toe radio? The senior English class was trying to prove whether they could (or couldn’t) in class last Friday. This turned out to be quite amusing when some of toe students
