1 - The best news from the United 1 Nations in recent months is that the Hungary puppet government has walked out because of resolutions opposing the massacre of Hungarian people in their fight for freedom, xWe could name J about a dozen other countries, who would improw the atmosphere at the United Nations by their absence. Isn’t it about time that those who refuse to abide by the charter be asked to leave? o—o You can do yourself and your community a good turn by attending the auction sale at the Decatur Youth and Community building this evening at 7:30 o’clock. All the proceeds go to the activity furfd of the Community building. The students and instructors of the Reppert auction school, who are conducting the sale free of charge, provide a lot of humor to go along with the bargains in new and used fumi- / tore. o 0— —— At the present rate of expansion, the population of China wil increase from 625 million now to one billion, by 1980. Chinese are being born at the rate-of 37 per 1.000 of population and dying at the rate of 17 per 1,000. By comparison this makes insignificant the concern of the heads of the three local school systems about where to house the three or four hundred extra pupils expected in Decatur in the next five or ten years. o— — o With President Eisenhower ineligible and Adlai Stevenson not a candidate, the race for presidential candidates In 1960 is wide • open. Leaders from both parties will make some amazing statements aimed at winning segments of the population to their candidacies. The battle for votes will be joined at the first day of the first session of Congress in January. Among the prediettons are that the President will ask for a New Deal domestic and foreign program, Nixon will switch from an isolationist to an interventionist and the Northern Democrats will challenge the Southern Democratic traditional hold on committee leadership in Congress.

Signs in our economic situation are reflected by monthly indexes Os prices and incomes provided by various government and private survey organizations. The cost of living index reached a new high of 117.7 as of October 15. which is 2.4 per cent higher in a year and 15.6 per cent higher than before the outbreak of the Korean War. Factory employees, many of whose wages are tied to these indexes, actually benefited as their spendable income increased about 50 cents in the month ending October 15. Farm income in the month ending November 15, decreased three per cent, according to an index prepared by Purdue University. This was the third consecutive drop for farm prices. Indiana farmers* purchasing power decreased four per cent. Interest rates have pushed so high they are bumping against federal and state ceilings, which are being Changed to put them back into a free market. Any period of economic change benefits some segments .pf our economic nation while it hurts others. As an example, one large automobile manufacturer is currently reported to be earning about 25 per cent net on sales, while the net income of the average dealer (selling less than 150 cars a year) has been reduced to 1.2 per cent of sales. Those listed by most agencies as benefiting by the changing economic trends are large manufacturers, factory employees and institutions or individuals offering new loans at higher interest rates. Hurt by the same trends are farmers, merchants, bond holders and persons who must borrow to expand business or buy necessities. Some competent observers believe an ever drifting higher price index of about two or three per cent a year will be normal. If so, it will make the purchase of government bonds, fixed incomes and pension plans undesirable. Arguments you will r listen to in Congress in the coming months will be largely devoted to these problems. Your future may depend upon the solution reached. If you have the solution you should write your Congressman or Senator at once, - since the best economists in the world haven't the slightest idea of a perfect answer.

He soothed me with a small, i dull anecdote about a teaching experience he had recently had. Then he leaned back, crossed his 1 legs, folded his hands over his < vest and said, “Now, Hester, what 1 can I do for you?" • "Well, Bob ...” ' < •‘Be glad to help you, only too glad. Have any of the student# 1 been annoying you ?” "No, it isnT that ...” t “You cari be frank with me s Hester. The pass, as I often say, I is the occupational hazard of the 1 female dancing teacher. And, I s might add,” he added, chuckling, t “also of the male upon occasion.” "No, Bob, I want to help you.” i “Help me?" He was amazed, I rocked with disbelief. “You want 1 to help me? How?" t "Bob, this is rather delicate, t hut I feel if you and I aren’t r friends already ... well, we’re destined to be. That seems obvious.” “Hester, what is it ?" "Well, I’ve heard gossip, and v if it should get to the police . . .” b "Gossip about me, Hester?” V "May I be frank?" a “Yes, please!" o "Just how much did Anita Far- n rell mean to you, Bob?” b “Anita?” % ji “Yes.

When selecting monogran med handkerchiefs for a man c woman, which initial should b selected, that of the first or th i last name? A. For a man it is always th last. For a woman, the last i customary, but the first is permit sable. Q. Should each guest seat hin self at the dinner table as soon a he arrives there? A. No; until the hostess seat heirseif, everyone should Stan quietly of his place. Q. I often receive social letter in which the writer begins by mak ing excuses for having been to busy to write earlier. Is this goo form? A. It is much better taste t avoid this. If you are really em barrassed about your delay i writing, say you are sorry, the plunge into your letter.

No, it may he ungracious of me to say so, but 1 eliminated Anita Farrell from my picture. She was nothing to me but a teaching colleague here at Crescent." i "So you have nothing to fear from the police.” . . “Nothing whatsoever. Should they get wind of this gossip, J shall tell them the truth, ungracious as it may sound. But 1 thank you for your concern. 1 shall remember this favor, Hester.” After Bob had gone lut for a moment in the conference room. It had been a busy day, but somehow I didn’t seem to have proved that anybody need have anything to fear from the police except my husband. I was discouraged. My feet hurt • • • The next morning Steve and I went through the motions of having breakfast, but our hearts weren’t in it When we had awakened we ijad wished each other a happy fifth wedding anniversary, but our hearts hadn’t been in that, either. We were |ust killing time, waiting for two oesodden ladies down on West rwenty-fifth Street to sleep it iff. Then, unexpectedly, wehad :ompany to help us kill the time. >Ve did our insincere best to make detective Lieutenant Bolling wel:ome. Wfe offered him our most :omfortable chair, some coffee, some toast and coffee. We made t clear that we were delighted hat the man who was directing he search for the Waitzer had ome to see us, of all people. But Soiling was in no mood to accept >ur hospitality. This morning he cas all business; you couldn’t see he grindstone for his nose. "Barton,” he said briskly, lookag the Waitzer straight in the ye, "I’m going to wrap up this ase this afternoon,” “What time this afternoon?” he Waitzer asked. "You’re not joking. Four 'clock this afternoon. I’ll know hen who the Waitzer is. I want ou th be at the Crescent School t four.” "Me? Why me?" Tm throwing a little party, ve invited all of Anita Farrell’s upils.

. ... —... —„ Television Is Tough Business For Actor Ask Franchot Tone To Remove Beard NEW YORK (UP) - Television is a tough business for the actor. It drains the blood, dries the brain and curdles the stomach. And now it has claimed Franchot Tone’s beard. Tone, currently in rehearsal for this Sunday NBC-TV spectacular, "The Little Foxes," was asked to shuck his beaver before essaying the role of Horace Giddens in the Lillian Hellman play. Tone looked glum at a rehearsal break as we dropped into a Japa- ; nese sukiyaki joint to sip daintily from bowls of chartreuse-colored swampwater the waitress assured us was tea. •< "I don’t really know why ffie beard had to come off,” he murmured through the hot yellowgreen smog that began enveloping the table. “They just told me it had to go. “It seems their experts decided nobody was wearing beards at the turn of the century—that’s the period of ‘The Little Foxes.’ — wore a beard. What about my grandfather? He was a New York state senator and majority leader for Charles Evans Hughes. And ge what about Hughes, I said?” Tone shrugged helplessly, the nd gesture of a man overpowered by he cosmic forces. “It had to go," tie ge added. to Tone grew the chin-spinach for rt- a role last February in an offne Broadway play, “Uncle Vanya.” ;y . This past summer "Uncle Vanya” was put on film and Tone continued to cultivate his facial fringe or with tender solicitude. u- tewia X. Smith.

g pupils for you,” the Waitzer said e unenthu siast ica 11 y. “A great e idea.” l. “Fd have done it sooner,” Bolling said, “except that I was sure we’d pick up Ralph Tolley. But i- we haven’t found him yet.* I Good old Ralph Tolley! So nice y of him to stay out of sight. It had e been quite a while since I had it even thought of that sterling pupil of Anita's whose lesson x time Steve had borrowed, but I made up for it now. I thought of d Ralph Tolley not only with gratiI tude, but with affection. i- “Maybe the reason we haven't 1 found him," Bolling was saying, I "is because he’s the Waitzer and i- he’s hiding out. Or maybe, if he isn’t the Waitzer, it's because a he’s dead.”-- - i. “Dead?” Steve and I said. > “Murdered. By the Waitzer." d “Murdered?” we said. “By the j Waitzer?” t Bolling nodded. He took the I chart of Anita Farrell’s teaching I schedule out of his pocket. He i showed it to us. “See this? I’ve got every lesson hour accounted | 1 for except the hour of the mur- ■ der, seven on Wednesday. Now, 1 s is Tolley is the Waitzer, that’s I 1 his time. But if he Isn’t the 1 Waitzer, the Waitzer took Tol- 1 • ley’s time. Understand?" i- Steve and I understood. It | > wasn’t especially brilliant of us I > since taking Ralph Tolley’s les- - son time was exactly what Steve 1 ■ had done. Bolling, however, Wu j pleased with our quickness. He i 1 continued, admiring his own logic, despite its morbid turn. “So it’s to the Weltzer’s ad- | vantage to keep Tolley out of our > way. Maybe he did a complete I job and killed him. However, | we’ll know more this afternoon. i If Kipp and the bartenders don’t J identify the Waitzer among Miss { Farrell’s pupils, we’ll know for i certain that this Tolley is guilty.” “So,” I said, “this afternoon S will wrap up the case.” j •*One way,” Steve said, "or another.” "We’ll know," Bolling said, | "who is the Waitzer. You be | there, Barton, at four.” J "You bet," Steve said. “So long,” Bolling said. "So long,” Steve said. ■ “Gruesome, isn’t it?” I said. » Bolling turned back from the {J door.
