We, as residents of Decatur are to be commended for our selection of Mrs. Hall as (me of our public officials. —o Decatur has made some forward strides in 1956 toward a healthy population growth, and while we have not been successful in acquiring a new industry, we have started a sizeable fund for the purchase of land for a factory site and City Officials have made arrangements for the purchase of an unlimited amount of power. A continued study of the water situation is underway, and as a fine little city, we face the future with optimism. We have a favorable tax rate and our railroad facilities are attractive. A continued active and progressive Chamber of Commerce is necessary and the overall picture is most bright. We are blessed with a good city Administration and we have excellent churches and schools. Let us all join the local leaders in making 1957 a bigger Decatur year.

Performers On TV Hoping To Reduce Stars' Resolutions Seek Weight Losses NEW YORK (UP) — The New Year’s resolutions of TV performers seem to fall into two categories this season — losing spare weight and finding spare time. John Scott Trotter, bandleader with the George Gobel Show, has knocked off 60 pounds. Next year, he resolves to whittle off 40 more. Jackie Gleason, whose tonnage fluctuates between improbable and impossible, also is on another diet kick. June Taylor, choreographer on his show, has vowed that she’ll try to coax Jackie into the ballet classes at her dancing school to help him with his pounds-off program. Comic Jack E. Leonard aisp has resolved to remain svelte. So has Denise Lor of the Garry Moore Show — her goal is to shed 15 pounds.

CHAPTER 1 CASSON wondered why the banker was getting drunk. Henry Lockyer never permitted himself to become intoxicated by anything, especially to his dub. He was a reserved man: dry and unemotional, impeccably neat, precise, punctilious. AU this admirably fitted a Director of Gamman’s Bank, one of the last and most highly regarded private banks in the City of London. It was because of this that Casson now speculated. The din-tog-room of the Club was halfempty. Beneath the two massive chandeliers which lit the long room, to this severely pillared, gold-and-blue atmosphere, anguish was seething ipside a stolid twikrr. "Evening, Mr. Duker," said George, the head waiter. Casson’s ftriX name was Alistair Casson Duker. “I win have smoked trout,” Casson said, glancing at the menu. "Then the calf's liver a la francaiae.” Cane’s was famous among clubs for its good food. "Ask Daniel to step along, would you, George? I want a bottle of wine.” Daniel, the wine steward, was the oldest of the Club servants, * short, gray-haired man with a head like an eagle and a prodigious memory. "I'D have a bottle of Moselle, Daniel,” said Casson. He returned to the pleasant itch of hjs. curiosity about the banker. Lockyer always drank glass of dry sherry before dinner and two glasses of claret with his dinner, sometimes less, never more. This evening Lockyer had drunk two double dry Martinis to fifteen minutes and was now starting upon his second large whisky. Casson leaned back in his chair, sipped his wine, and let his curiosity increase. This itch > to explore had accompanied him through life, and he indulged it i wherever possible. Before going to a university It had led him to become a dish-washer to a case on the Avenue Kleber in Paris, and* as an undergraduate he nad joined an ornithologist’s expedition to find the nesting colonies of the flamingo to the swanjps of the Guadalquivir. After the war, when he was demobilized from the Airborne Division, the itch had found a new excitement. He had been staying in Bath when rumor had come to him of an outbreak of mania in a village a few miles outside the city. - He had gone there for one . night and had stayed a month. Those four weeks gave him a fas.cinating view of the margins of crime. He had begun to touch the somber border region where de*ire, intensified by fear, be-

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

About the only dissenter around is Alfred Hitchcock. “I’d like to be thin in ’57,” says Hitchcock, “but I don’t have the will power to be grouchy.” *’ Digging up leisure hours to enjoy their huge earnings is a problem of many TV stars. Says Ralph Edwards: "In 1957, I plan to spend more time with my family and less with my dictaphone." Tennessee Ernie, with one evening and five daytime TV shows, asks of the New Year that he get enough time to read just one book a month. Bob Sweeney of “The Brothers” wants more time off from work to spend with his wife, daughter and his garden. And Lucille Ball adds: “I just want more time to spend with my children." Some of the other resolutions: Groucho Marx—“To stop looking at pretty girls unless they’re alone or with somebody.” Wally Cox—"To stop being so generous. I’ve discovered I went 83.16 over my? budget this yearjI’m so impulsive during the holiday season.” George Gobel—“l will bathe my feet before entering the pool — especially during National YMCA I Week.”

comes contemptuous of legality. He had exorcised himself of this particular nightmare by embodying it, suitably disguised, as an article on the persistence of pagan theophany. His Witch df Bath had been published to a London quarterly journal and had had its brief day of sensation. It had closed the case but It had not cured the itch. Casson searched for human oddities as' smother type of collector might seek after faked Rubens. While he watched Lockyer, the Itch told him that he had found another oddity. Women drink because men drink or because they themselves are in physical pain: sometimes because they have lost a lover, more usually because they have lost their looks. They never drink when they are happy. Men drink for both reasons; to swell happiness or to duU misery. Lockyer was not happy: but why was he miserable ? He was a bachelor. Had he at last proposed and been refused? Had he become unbearably lonely, as bachelors sometimes do ? Or had he—a far more intriguing speculation—had he committeed some crime against his business .ethics? There was an extensive range of possible disaster open to a banker. Lockyer had put down his knife and fork and, with his head to his hands, he called: "Daniel! Come here. Bring me some more whisky. Bring me two more . . ." His voice tailed off. • .With satisfaction Casson finished his liver a la Jrancaise, paid his bill, and went out into the Oval Room, settling into an armchair with a glass of Armagnac. He was swilling the brandy round in his glass when Daniel came through from the diningroom. Casson lifted a finger and the old man came over to him. “You may know, Daniel, if Mr. Lockyer has a room at the’Club this evening?” “No, sir. Oh, no, sir.” ”1 think, Daniel, that Mr. Lockyer and 1 will go home together. He has some port at his house which <1 wish to taste.” “Yes, sir.” It was some time before Lockyer appeared. When he did he was unsteady. He stared round the Oval Room, swaying slightly, tfien transferred his gaze to Casson. There was apparently some recognition. He lurched over and dropped into on arm-chair beside him. ( “Howyou, Casson m'boy?” he said. "Have a whisky?” Casson calculated. Lockyer was just drunk enough to be belligerent Quiet men often were. Now was not the tlmfc to take him

Foster Parents Plan, Aids Foreign Waifs Television Stars Leaders Os Group NEW YORK (UP> — The most precious gift that can be offered ,to a child on the brink of a new year is—hope, a TV stars have been packaging hope for kids around the world for many years now. They have been doiiig it through Foster Parents Plan. an. organization .that -permits “adoption” of waifs tn Belgium, France, England, Holland, Italy, West Germany and Korea. The credit list is impressive. Garry Moore plays father to a youngster in Greece—on one of his morning shows last week, Garry talked to the boy via trans Atlantic telephone to wish him Merry Christmas. ' Garry’s office staff has taken over the financial care of another child, 6-year-old Marius Christophe of France. Denise Lor and Ken Carson, both singers with Garry's show, alsp are foster parents. Steve. Allen and Jayne Meadows are members of the plan. So are Jack Benny, Helen Hayes, Ben Grauer, Sophie Tucker and Molly Berg of “The Goldbergs.” Bob Cummings has taken over the ■ financial burdens of two French children. Eve Arden of "Our Miss frocks” visited her charge in France. Art Linkletter, with the plah since 1948, has three "adoptees”— in Greece, Italy and France. On a recent visit to Greece. Linkletter found his "child” living In a house without a roof. He promptly had one built. “Adoption” of the kids, some of (them orphans, all of them-made destitute by war, is financial, not legal.

Bring me a whisky. 'Magnac here for m’friend.” Lockyer leaiPed back and seemed to relapse into a stupor, He jerked forward and muttered: “Poking and prying. Can’t leave a man alone. Filthy minds they’ve got." He took his drink from Dail-. Jel’s tray and set it down care-" fully on the floor. Then he pointed at Casson. “Lawyers'll tell you the greater the tnuth greater the libel. Isn’t true, Duker. Isn’t true at all. Greater the lie greater the libel. Nothing succeeds like a lie. Nothing at all. I've proved it- - You believe me. I’m telling you somefiling. A lie's worth money. Truth’s worth nothing. You believe me. ...” . The skeleton in’his cupboard bad begun to dance, but as yet it remained -behind a shut door. Casson waited patiently. With some difficulty, very slowly, Lockyer set his glass on the floor. “Slust go home,” he muttered. “Fueling a bit ill.” - ■ . He tded to get up but fell back Into his chair. Casson left him there and went down to the halt “Oh, Broom,” he said to the head porter, “I’m going back home with Mr. Lockyer. Can you find his address? I’ve forgotten iti He’s^-er —not too well." Broom found lb in his cardindex of members. Launceton Street, W. 8. 'Casson went back upstairs. “I’m going home,” he remarked. “I’ll give you a lift." Lockyer nodded and lurched toward the door of the Oval Room. At the head of the curving, double staircase down to the hall of the Club, Casson gave him a helping arm. Angrily. Lockyer threw it off but almost fell down the stairs. He made no further motion of protest as Casson helped him down, collected tus bowler hat and umbrella, and steered him out into St James’s Street. _ He said nothing while Casson drove him home, and Casson did not wish to interrupt his silence. His mind was busy with the problem of how to unlatch Henry Lockyer’s skeleton cupboard. The rattle of bones had raised nis sense of curiosity to an insatiable pitch. , '■ o Casson discovers Lockyer’s terrible secret tomorrow In Chapter 2 of “Small Venom."

Amazed At Market For Camel Saddles Lebanese Student Is Amazed Over Sales ' CHICAGO (UP)—Razouk Malik A quite a salesman. He sells camel saddles to people who don't have camels. Malik, a Lebanese student working on his doctorate at the University of Chicago, was “amazed” to find Itajodest market for camel saddles in the Midwest."People use them for television stools and occasional, .chairs,” he said. Otherwise, he said, it would be like selling refrigerators to Eskimos. "* , A camel saddle is built like a rpiniature saw horse that fits over the camel’s hump. It’s made of wood and has a brocaded cushion. Malik gets them from his father, a Lebanese exporter who runs a furniture factory in Beirut. The Malik saddles are made of olive wood and mahogany, and the pillows are covered with the finest brocade. “I've been selling them on a non-profit basis for $30,” Malik said. “But I may have to raise the price to S4O. The Suez crisis has increased costs.” Malik said he’s “not interested in making a profit.” “But selling the saddles gives me a convenient means of exchange,” he said, "and I need the money to further my education.” Nobody could accuse Malik of high pressure sales tactics. But he quietly points out that the camel saddles are a bargain. “I saw them advertised in a New York department store for $69.50,” he said. " Malik got fntd lKe. .cfcffel saddfS business by accident. An engineer, he was studying business administration at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, 111., when he got his first shipment by mistake. . ■ ’ The saddles were supposed to have been sent to the regular import channels in New York but were misdirected to Malik, in Carbondale. "The story got around and the sales response was amazing,” Malik said. Turkey And Trimmings FREWSBURG. N.
