Crime news makes good stories. When there is nothing to report we often fail to give attention to the 24 hour service we are receiving from these officers. One of the reasons given by authorities for the very good record in Adams county is the unusually close cooperation between the city police, the Adams county sheriff’s department and the state police located here. Credit for solving crimes is easy to give. Blame for not finding criminals is easier. But congratulations for preventing crimes is too often neglected. Today we give our verbal orchids to the monotonous service performed for us by the three law-enforce-ment groups in our community. ■ o-— o Jgy Gould, Fort Wayne farm radio broadcaster who recently made a trip to South America, painted a dismal picture of our relationship with the countries south of the border, at a program for Adams county 4-H club leaders sponsored by the retail division of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. The Latin American people like the United States, but this country has refused to do business ,wlt)i them. As a result trad* is developing with the Communist bloc which South American Countries do not like. However, with trade goes friendships and the Communists know how to take advantage of- commercial agreements. Gould says the South American countries are the last real friends the United States have in the World. With them gone the United States would be powerless to stem the tide of Communists. It might be time to dust off the old Cordell Hull good neighbor policy.

Do you think there is any need for a girl to feel embarrassed if she is dining in a restaurant with a man, and he makes a careful examination of his check? A. I don’t see any need of embarrassment. Most certainly he has h fight to'examine his check, but he should do so in a casual and unobstrusive manner. Q. How does a mother refer to her son’s wife when introducing her to friends? A. To casual friends, she may say, “My daughter-in-law.” To close friends, she may say, less formally, “Bob’s wife.” Q. Should the guests at a wedding reception insist upon kissing the bride? A. It is better not. O —- — v I Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE o , o Preservation Paint If a can of paint has to be left open, stir it thoroughly, so as to dissolve all the oil.

Four Runs Are Made By Decatur Firemen Two Fires In City, Two In Rural Area The Decatur fire department had a busy 12-hour span last night and early this morning, answering two city and two rural calls. No major damage was caused by any of the four fires. The first call was at 5:55 p. m. Thursday, when a pickup truck caught fire on the Wilmer Biehold farm on Decatur route three east of Monmouth. Damage was confined to the truck. At 9:35 p. m., a kettle left on the kitchen stove of the Norva! Hoffman residence at the corner of Jackson and Fifth streets started to burn and the department was called. The kettle was ruined and there was heavy smoke but no other damage resulted. A large tree on the C. E. Bell farm east of Decatur on U. S. highway 224 was badly damaged by fire of undetermined origin. Firemen were called to extinguish the blaze at 10 p. m. The last run was made at 3:30 a. m. today when a chair on the porch of the Fred Erigle residence on Rugg street caught fire. The cause of the fire was not determined and damage was limited to the chair.• ”* W

Evansville Bank Bandit Arrested Third Holdup Ends In Seizure Os Man EVANSVILLE (UP>—A gunman held up the North Side Federal Savings and Loan Assn, here Thursday for the third time this year. But he was arrested as he fled to the getaway car. Police said Cletus Stone, 46, St. Louis, was arrested with a brown paper sack containing $2,847. Miss Barbara Stewart. 18. a teller, said she recognized the bandit as the same one who forced her to sack nearly $14,000 in holdups last February and March. Asked why he chose the same office three times, Stone replied: “It just looked easy. That’s all I can say.” However, Stone later denied the two previous holdups. A federal bank robbery warrant authorized by U.S. District Atty. Jack Brown was filed against Stone. Stone appeared before U.S. Commissioner Carl Bosecker but did not enter a plea. Miss Stewart said she spotted Stone as soon as he entered the loan company. She said she knew what he wanted. She sounded a silent and complied with his order to put money in a paper sack he handed her- He held a revolver on her. Four patrolmen were waiting for Stone when he exited by a side door. Stone, a radio and television repairman. was taken to Evansville jail. Miss Stewart said the same man robbed the loan office of $8,709 Feb. 15 and $5,239 March 14. Two bandits staged the first holdup. A woman waited in a car for the bandit in thd March holdup. Stone told police he was on parole from a life sentence imposed in Illinois, where he was involved in a restaurant holdup. He said he was out about a year.

CHAPTER u T~HB lights were on in our Uv- * ing room when 1 got home. As I went through the vestibule, 1 played “shave-and-a-halrcut" on our beD. When 1 got to our landing, Steve was standing tn the doorway. There was a look of warning on his face. He took me in his arms and gave me the least satisfactory kiss of our career. "Boning," he whispered. “Inside." He stepped back from me and said loudly, heartily, "How's your cousin Marie?” "Improving," 1 said. "The swelling's gone down.” We walked into our living room. Detective Lieutenant Bolling put a beer down on our coffee table, rose and greeted me. I was disappointed in the way he looked. He looked fine, not the least bit worried. Apparently this was a policeman without any pressing worries at all. including the capture of the Waltzer. "The swelling's gone down?" he said to me. “What ? Oh, Cousin Marie. Tea, perceptibly. Thank you." "Steve says she has anemia. I didn’t know there was ever any swelling involved in anemia." "You’re quite right, there isn't. Cousin Marie got in a fight with her doctor and he belted her one in the eye." "You’re kidding," Bolling said. "Yes, stop kidding, Connie," Steve said. "Bolling was tn the neighborhood and he just dropped in." “Lovely. Anytime you’re in the neighborhood, Mr. Bolling, just drop tn.” "Thanks." “Any news about the Waltzer?" “He was seen tonight in a joint in the Village, the Feather Club." “No!" I said. "Really?" “Yeah. We got a description of him from a Crescent pupil who was there, name of Kipp. Wendell Kipp. The bartender saw him, too, and a waiter and a couple of other people.” "What was he doing, the Waltzer?" “Annoying some blonde." "Any blonde," 1 said, "who would frequent the Feather Club could hardly be annoyed." 1 had to ask the question and 1 did, bravely. “What does the Waltzer ' look like?" t “Well, this Kipp didn’t give much of a description. He didn’t Impress me as the type that ever noticed very accurately what a man looked like. Then he was still pretty upset by the slugging the Waltzer handed him. His de-

scripuon amni tally very well with the other people’s descriptions.” "What," I asked, “was his description ?" “Ho said he was a big man, powerfully built" Steve smiled, rather proudly, pleased. “Almost ape-like," Boning said. "Ape-like?" There was a trace of indignation in Steve's voice which, fortunately, Bolling missed. “You can’t believe this Kipp. He’s probably sore about the Waltzer knocking him down." "Yeah. Well, Kipp said he had a low forehead and very long arms." Steve’s indignation was boiling into anger. I spoke quickly. "What did the other people say about him?" “The bartender .Said he was an ordinary guy, dark, maybe six feet" Steve was somewhat mollified. “A waitress said he was good looking.” Steve was smiling again. “Well, anyvAty," Bolling said, "the description doesn’t help us much. But that doesn’t bother me. When we round up the last of Anita Farrell’s pupils, then I’ll be able to name the Waltzer." The telephone rang; Steve answered it. It was for Bolling. The detective's back was toward me and his voice was muffled. It was too difficult to eavesdrop and 1 soon gave it up. But 1 did gather that the call was coming from Boiling's partner, Hankins, at the Crescent School of Dancing. There was some problem about who should take over somebody else’s assignment. When Bolling had got things straightened out, he turned back to us. "As I was saying. I’ll be able to name the Waltzer when we round up the last of Miss Farrell’s pupils." "Yes,” I said. “Os course you will, won’t you?” “Only one guy we haven’t located yet. A Ralph Tolled." Silently, I asked Heaven to be kind to Ralph Tolley; he was one of nature's nobleman. < Aloud I said, “But you’ll find him soon, I’m sure." “We’re getting close. And when we get hold of this Tolley, then we’ll know. We got every one of Anita Farrell’s lessons accounted for except seven o'clock Wednesday ... the Waltzefs time. Now, like I told you before, if this Tolley is the Waltzer he won't say he’was seven o'clock Wednesday. He'll pick some other time, tor instance, Steve’s time . . . three o’clock Saturday. Then if Tolley isn't the Waltzer, Steve is."

for an Indianapolis branch post office. Federal Judge Cale J. Holder imposed the sentence after hearing a series of character witnesses, including former Columbus Mayor John Hosea.

"Yea," i said. “I understand the system." t “Oh, we got the Waltzer all right. Practically, 1 mean. Well, I better get moving." And Bolling was gone. When 1 started to tell Steve about my trip to Kew Gardena, he interrupted me. “Connie, didn’t you hear Bolling on the phone?” "Not all of it.” “He sent the cop on duty down at Anita's apartment to follow a lead they got on Ralph Tolley." “Oh, Steve!" "Yes, but don’t waste time worrying about that Don’t you see wliat we can do now?" “Os course!” 1 said. "The coast is clear.” We wasted no time; we set out immediately for Greenwich Village. With luck we might learn at last what it was about Anita Farrell's apartment that was so interesting to certain people connected with the Crescent School of Dancing. Not only to Jack Walston and Dottie Harris. There was also the man with the bedroom eyes, Wendell Kipp. In the glimmer ot the four lamps that lighted Rhinebeck Place, we could see that the short street was deserted. Cautiously, we moved into number 11 and up its first flight of stairs. Anita’s apartment was still temporarily without any police surveillance. Now our only problem was to get behind the locked doors of Apartment 2-B. Steve undertook to solve that single-handed. “You stay here,” he whispered. “I’ll try to climb in through a window in the back. I'll open a door for you from the inside.” “That would be nice of you," I whispered back. But almost the moment he was gone 1 changed my mind about his chivalry. It wasn’t nice being alone in a gloomy corridor outside the apartment of a murdered young woman. I hoped none of her neighbors would find me lurking here. I tiptoed quietly to the door of the front apartment. I listened for voices and was delighted to-hearnone. Nevertheless, I stayed on tiptoes as I returned to the back of the halt I was growing more nervous every minute of what already seemed hours. I wondered what could be taking Steve so long. Even if he had had to go all the way around the block to get through a building into the backyard of number IL he should have got here by now. Who gets a hit on the head ■ tomorrow?
