It looks as if the kiddies would have a few days before school starts again to enjoy their sleds and other winter play equipment. . - O '■ O ' There also is a religious aspect to the New Year holiday. It is a wonderful’day on which to count our blessings and thank God, for them and for the privilege of living in a Free America. ——o o—Big athletic thrill for over the week-end will be the professional football game between the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants at New York for the world championship. If the weatherman cooperates, the game should be a free scoring event Statistics favor the Giants but the two teams played to a 17-17 tie Just recently. The game will be televised on a national hook-up. o o City, state and county highway and street employes have had their first winter workout and while many of them have worked the dock around, streets ail roads of this area are all reported in excellent winter condition. These men deserve far more credit than they receive, and almost always they do a great job following a snowstorm. So .good \ has their work been that we just take it as a matter of course. \|g- ..... v

Business inventories will soon be completed by local retail firms. Local retailers, in general watch their inventories and dispose immediately of their surpluses and this practice of procedure is a principal reason why shoppers of this area get good merchandise always at rock-bot-tom prices. DeCßtur is an excel-* lent place to trade and each day finds more paths to the stores here. If you do not have the Decatur shopping habit, you're losing money. o——o— — Snow Ice and slush will add driving hazards on the highways this long holiday week-end. Everyone seems interested in the careless motorist except the driver himself. Hundreds will die in many of them Newspapers will view with alarm but motor clubs, individuals and others will immediately start a howl for constitutional rights as soon as crackdowns in carelessness are an- _»•. Bounced. There is no doubt that ■ sensible laws to regulate driving motoring violations would help / immensely. The Handley administration and the 1957 Indiana General Asseipbly could lead the way with strict laws regulating Indiana highways.

SYNOPSIS ..Casson Duker. a well-to-do amateur detective, is intrigued by Henry Lockyer, a stolid banker, getting drunk before dinner attheir club. Casson's curiosity compels him to And out why the normally light-drink-ing Lockyer la actin* in such a manner. Lockyer tells Casson be had been blackmailed by an ordinary looking little man named Bagot who threat- .» ened to ruin his reputation. Bagot promises not to bother him again. of the crook but says he will not testify against him if he is arrested. CHAPTERS Automatically Lockyer drank some of his whisky. Then he told the story again. Casson remarked to himself on Lockyer’s unusual capacity for observing detail. One incident, in particular, Intrigued him. The blackmailer had singled out for notice a marble bust in Lockyer’s possession. "There you are," said the banker. "What does that tell you ?" "I don’t know. What was his motive?” Lockyer shrugged. "Everybody wants money. Some have bills they can’t meet, some have bills they want to run up.” “Within limits, I agree. The sort of bills they have to meet will tell you about their characters. Give me a‘man’s bills for a year and I’ll tell you what he is like; within limits. You’re a banker. You should know that Read a man's bank statement and sum him up—even his dreams: but only within limits." "Yes,” Lockyer said. He sounded doubtful "What bill-did he want to pay?” Casson went on. "A mistress?" . - . "No. Oh, no,” said Lockyer quickly. “A wife, then: who wanted a fur coat: who nagged him to buy a house ?" a "No. He isn’t married. At any I rate not now.”. I “Again why?” ' "I noticed that one of the but- j tons of his raincoat—and he kept it buttoned up—continually slipped out of its buttonhole. Just as continually he fastened it again but it was an automatic ; gesture and I’m sure he was unconscious of 'it. It did that because the button was not properly sewn on, not as a woman 1 would sew it It was sewn too i tight, too close to the material 1 of the coat I know because I’ve i had to do i£ myself when I was ! ■a young man. Also he had tooth- i paste in the corner of his mouth. I

Rub on the soiled parts, then brush off. Repeat if necessary. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. Are postscripts to letters considered in good taste? A. Only when absoluetly necessary. It is better, though, to take pains while composing your letter to include in it everything you wish to say. Postscripts tend to indicate haste and carelessness, in the composition of the original let- • ter. » Q. What is the proper amount : that a bridegroom shiuld give the minister as a fee? 1 A. There is no stipulated amount. It may be $lO, S2O, $25, SIOO, or even more when the bridegroom ’ is wealthly. It re&lly all depends upon the bridegroom’s finances. ‘ Q. If one has not understood the name of a person to whom one has been introduced, what should be said? : A. It is in order, to say, ‘l’m sorry, I did not quite- Understand the name.” Q. How many . attendants does i the bride usually have at a home I wedding? A. The most fashionable home I weddings include but two brides- ! maids and a maid-of-honor — and ■ maify of them have no bridest maids at all. ( If you Kave something to sen or i rooms for rent, try a Democrat . Want Ad. It brings results.

If' he had said good-bye to his wife that morning she would have noticed it and told him to wipe it off.” "She might have been in bed, or away visiting her children, or blind?” Casson suggested. He badly wanted to pin Lockyer down on this point “She might indeed," the other replied. “But I am sure he is unmarried.” "Go back to when he admired the bust" Lockyer rose to his feet ' “Come and look.” He led the way through folding doors Ufto a back room. It, was furnished like a sitting-room, and its pale green walls were hung with French engravings. In the window embrasure was a white marble head of a young man. It stood on a column of green marble. Lockyer pointed to it “Roman. First century 8.G.” “And little Mr. Bagot admired it,” Casson mused. “He admired it greatly. He interrupted his blackmail to go and touch it, to admire it, to show his envy. He knew when it was carved —without your telling him. In the middle of his ten carefully planned minutes of crime he forgot himself so far as to comment omthe head of a young Roman. Indeed he betrayed himself!" "You know him?” “Oh no. But I think I know what he is like. I think I know why he blackmailed you. I think I know how he can be found. That bust may send himto prison.” ...• • - i Slowly Casapn drove home to Mayfair. At 100A Mount Street, he let himself in, and took the lift up to his flat on the third floor. -J- ;.. He switched on the lights in the broad library, went over to the windows, drew back the curtains, and leaned out The gardens were locked and deserted. He stared at them, seeing, not trees, but a dozen shadow shapes of the man Bagot What was the little man like? What was his ambition? That, in particular, he must know. Find a criminal’s ambition and you find thp criminal. He turned back into the room. He was sure that he had the key to Bagot’s character but he was not yet certain how the key fitted or what the character would be when it Was unlocked. First of all, Bagot must become a man of fact and not of theory. He had a trace of accent—-

Y. — ftPI - A dugout conoe taken from the bottom of nearby Tsatsawasa Lake may have belonged to 18th century settlers, reports state archeologist Arthur Gillette. Discovered by frogman Harold Fox while exploring the lake floor at a depth of 30 feet, the waterlogged craft was brought up by members of the Tray Skin Diving Club.

“common” Lockyer had called it He was neatly, almost primly, dressed—so far as he could be seen despite his raincoat He would be lower middle class. The odds on that were a near certainty. He was not a manual worker. His hands were smooth and neatly kept Lockyer had particularly remarked on that fact Therefore he would be an office worker, a clerk of some sort No. That theory would not fit Bagot had showed an uncanny knowledge of Lockyer’s affairs, of his personality, of his movements. He must have studied his victim closely, have watched him and followed him. In that case he could not be a clerk, bound to rigid office hours. He must have the free time in which to study his quarry. He must be, to some extent his own master, a small tradesman perhaps. Unless—and this was a grotesque thought—he was a clerk who devoted his annual fortnight's holiday to a single coup of blackmail! It was an amusing thought but not a practical one. Blackmail was a profession, not a hobby. Casson stubbed out his cigarette and leaned back in his chair. He was pleased. The blurred picture of Bagot was being brought |nto focus. The unobtrusive little man with the tight raincoat button was being caged in thought. Casson was inclined to agree with Lockyer’s view of the button. Bagot was unmarried. He lived alone and looked after himself. It was indeed an eminently rational supposition since a wife would be dangerous to him in his illegal profesion. No—Bagot must be unmarried. Nor was he a suburban Casanova. Casson hesitated before he pursued his line of reasoning. The keystone of the arch in which he was framing the figure of the blackmailer was the Roman bust This was the oddity in Lockyer’s story and Casson believed it to be the most significant fact of all. It was unusual for small tradesmen to show such an involuntary and passionate interest in Roman sculpture: doubly unusual to show knowlege of the marble art in the century before the birth of Christ You cannot conceal your personality, however hard you try, -and this love of, or avarice for, works of art was in Bagot's nature. Tomorrow: Casson makes aa unscheduled call at the West End Central Police Stetten.

National Leaders Give Views On 1957 Outlook

(Editor*! note: Following is one of a series of articles by leaders of the nation on their of the outlook for 1957 In their various fields). By ROBERT W. BARNOFF President National Broadcasting Co. Writteri for United Press That television set in your living room will soon be taking on a new importance. Within five years, that set may be taking you across the seas-in the same Way that it now whisks you around,, the continent on sucik shows as ".“Wide Wipe World.” \ \ This is npt blue-sky ‘talk! International television, withilive programs spanning the oceans, is already technically Some day |t will be practical reality. You may be "fepera performances iriV. La Scalrain Milan, great sporA events at (fee Velodrome D’Hiver i% P«iris, Mar® Gras frolics on the -Riviera ana> major news events aS'.they occur in world capitals. % NBC Is Ready’ When that day comes, will be ready. At NBC we have up a department of international operations. Its job is to maintain Close contact with TV systems all over the world. Its aim is to make the top attractions of television all over the world available to American viewers, on a live basis whereever possible. Naturally, international television is a two-way street. We expect our own programs will also become part of the home-viewing schedule of other nations. - Last spring, NBC executives sat down in Italy with representatives of the eight European networks which are linked together in a hook-up known as Eurovision. Out of this conference came working arrangements between Eurovision and NBC. AH parties concerned were most excited about prospects for trans-Atlantic ' programming. American TV Is Tops Today, American television is the most advanced in the world. We have acquired a great amount of technical and programming know-how, and we are making it available to TV networks and stations in other nations. We are also preparing to send teams of consultants to help foreign networks in the developmental stage. This is in keeping with the policy of our government and of other private industries in providing technical assistance abroad. By helping to develop television skills abroad, and by preparing for international programming, we hope we are contributing to the future growth of sight-and-sound communications as a powerful force for peaee. •‘ u - “• As nations come to know each other better through the hying image of television, understanding and tolerance .will grow. This _is„ television's signpost to a better world.
