Class Matter

The December business barom eter, compiled for Decatur by the Chamber of Commerce, shows this city in a most healthy situation with 100 more persons employed than in December of a year ago. These employes, with more than a half million dollar payroll, are urged to visit Decatur stores. The best possible values will be found and remember that the dollars you spend in Decatur, remain in Decatur and help us all to build a better Decatur. o o A brutal murder of a woman and her child was recanted in Fort Wayne this week. The husband, a trucker, is being sought Ata- questioning. A crime of this sort should be dealt with immediately, with proper punishment being meted out. Some times we are inclined to wonder why justice oftentimes moves slowly. Perhaps it is for the best but sometimes, too, a clever attorney can delay punishment of crimes for a long time. People of this area are hopeful that the kilter in this instance is captured immediately and that he receive immediate justice for his crime. 0 O The attitude of numerous Berne high school students, since their recent double basketball victory, in the annual county tourney when both the first ind second teams won is a spirit of young America. These happy young people are not in the least overbearing. They are facing the approattiing sectional tourney with h<se tkat their team will repeat, but with a most cautious and not at all cocky attitude. Berne students behaved both during the recent tourney and afterwards like perfect ladies and gentlemen. Their demeanor reflected their home and school training and we’re proud to know that Adams county has this type of young citizens in the making. It means that we will continue to have a strong America as long as we have young people with this type of attitude. We add our salute to the young men and women of Berne who will be the citizens of tomorrow.

CHAPTER 16 TMSCONSOLATELY Casson Lx walked towards Harrod’s. The opportunity for which he nad worked so hard and so patiently had arrived at ripeness and been snatched away from him. Perry had struck too fasL - ; His chance was gone. God alone knew when It would recur or how many months it would be before Perry .decided to strike again. And Casson would have to give up. He could not possibly go on following Perry for that length of time. tt would even be useless to ring Strutt, tell him to find out the woman’s name from his list of residents, and have him ring Gamman’s to stop them paying her cheque. The bank could scarcely refuse to honor it and if Strutt picked up Perry, both he and his victim would refuse to acknowledge that it was blackmail. “■■’T i He went into a telephone box and rang Strutt. Strutt’s voice was exultant. “The Martin girl identified your photograph,” he raid. “It was Perry who followed her about and picked her up. .. ." •Til want you to pull in a taxi and take a statement from the driver," Casson interrupted. “Here’s the number." ••What’s the matter?" Strutt asked. "Yousound as if you had a hangover." "1 have,” Casson retorted. "That taxi took Perry and nis victim to a bank. He beat me to'it. I lost him." “I see.” There was a slight pause at the other end of the line. “Hard luck, boy." Strutt’s commiseration was clearly sincere. “Never mind," he went on. “We’ll get him next time.” "1 doubt it,” answered Casson. Til come in and see you this afternoon.” He returned to Chiswick and sat down by the window to wait. Nearly an hour after he had got back he saw Perry walking down the street. He was wearing nis ordinary spectacles and from r>is right hand swung a browp-paper carrier-bag such ft* you can buy In the big stores and fold up and put in your raincoat pocket. Casson looked malevolently at the little man. In that paper bag were how maagr hundreds of

What is considered the standardized tee for the bridegroom to give to the minister who performs the wedding ceremony? A. There is no standardized fee. The bridegroom gives according to his means. Q.

pounds? 'And eome wretched woman, who two hours ago had met Perry for the first time in her life, was now the prey to a constant and nagging fear: of the next visit, for she would not believe Perry's assurance that he never taxed his victims twice.. Casson went back to Mayfair. Strutt jumped up when he entered the office and pushed out a chair for him. "The bloodhound’s limping," Casson observed wryly as he sat down. He told Strutt the story, and the fat policeman never interrupted. "At any rate we know two things," said Strutt when Casson had finished. "We know that Martin and Bagot are Perry and we know where Perry lives. You found that out, and it's good work —for an amateur," he added, his little eyes twinkling. f Casson laughed. "1 wonder,” Strutt continued dreamily, “what would happen we scooped him in this evening. He’d have the money on him, wouldn’t he?” Casson shook his head. "You know he’d say that they were his savings." “Yes. What about his victim 7" "Who is she?" Casson asked. Strutt pushed across the desk the list of the residents in Montpelier Square. "No. 77,” Casson read. "Mrs. Neil Gordonstoun. Lt.-General Neil Gordonstoun. A senior officer’s wife. She’s bound to be respectable or Perry wouldn’t have picked her. And if she’s respectable and a general's wife, she's jolly respectable.” T was thinking we might call on her,” said Strutt, undoing a paper clip. Casson shrugged. “But I was also thinking that you would do It better. The police would frighten her. She wouldn’t talk. And we're in a sticky position. We knew she was going to be blackmailed and we never warned her. . . ." "I didn’t know it was her/’ Casson broke in. “She won’t understand that. We know so much that we ought to have known all. The police always get blamed.” “You are undoubtedly a twister,” said Casson. “You pass the buck?” "I pass," Strutt replied woodeniy.

DECATUR CATHOLIC HIGH By Marjorie Kohne The county tourney is now A. * in tne past, witiiM the Berne Bears copping both theoM varsity and sec-Hffi X ond team chainpionships. T h ep : “ V Comm o d o r e s ' played thier first game Saturday. afternoon and after a listless first half caught nre in the second half, but the lead of the Gorillas could not be overcome. So the Commodores went down to defeat but not without showing some spirit and causing the Gorillas to worry in the fourth quarter. If the Commodores play as they did in the fourth quarter, watch them at secional time! —DCHS—-“We-want-a-basket-now” was the cry sounded from the cheering bloc Saturday afternoon in the semi-final game of the Adams county tourney. It seemed as if the team just couldn’t get that spark,but the cheer bloc never let them down. In their white blouses and waving green and yellow pom poms, the cheer bloc kept up hope till the last Good work, bloc! —D.C.H.S.— Another attraction of the county tourney was the new bfand uniforms. It was a first appearance, and the band looked elegant. The jackets are a bright green and the slacks fi darker shade of green; both are trimmed in gold. The band did a fine job of supplying the fans with music before the Hartford—Commodore game and during half-time. -D.C.H.S.— Come one, come all, a “Snow Flake dance sponsored by the juniors is being held. Friday in the School auditorium. This is one of the projects the juniors are using to raise funds for the prom. Anyone who likes to dance, be sure to attend. See you at the dance? —D.C.H.S.— It seems that DCHS has hidden talent that is just now coming to light. Fred Lengerich, Tom Meyer/ and Ray O’Campo, to be specific. These boys drew and painted the posters advertising the “Snow Flake’’ dance. It’s a neat job, boys. You may be called on again now that your talent has been recognized. —DCHS— Let’s all knuckle down now and tackle those semester exams which are coming up. DCHS should have more names on the honor roll. So come on kids, tet’? dig into those books. S —D.C.H.S.— / ' * 1 This is station DCHS : reporting to you. The junior class Monday gave a radio skit entitled, “A House Divided against Itself,’’ and another, “America Comes of Age.”

Casson laughed. "Splendid. 1 want to see tier. Come and a drink?” "Too early. Now listen," his voice Became brisk. "We’ve run the rule over Perry’s nark, that young chap in the bank, what’s his name?” He picked up a report. “Macfarlane. Janies Robert Macfarlane. known as Jim Macfarlane. Born in Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire. . . . Lieutenant in the Territorial Army. Yes.” "What a bore,” murmured Casson. "What’s a bore?” "1 persuaded Lockyer this morning to find out about him from the bank.” Strutt chuckled. "We’re not so slow as we look,” he observed. "We had him followed from the bank. Lives in a fiat tn Shaftesbury Avenue. Curious place. 1 suppose the rent’s very low. We’ll keep him watched.” “You won’t get much. He will give his information to Perry at that snack bar in the city. And that will be the only time he operates. You might get the name of the next victim—it you're lucky.” “We’lJ see,” said Strutt "The next thing is Perry." "Lockyer’s finding out it he was ever connected with Gamman’s,” said Casson. "Leave mm until I ring you.” "Right” The telephone rang. Strutt listened in silence, grunted, and put it down. "The taxi-man,” he said. "They got a statement from him. He identified the fare from your photograph. He took him and a woman to Gamman’s—” “Os course,” Casson interrupted. ~ , dropped them there and was paid. He saw the woman go into the bank. The man stayed outside. He drove off. That s all. Now I’d like a formal statement from you about this morning and the photographs and how you found Perry.” -i It took Casson over an hour to write it. He was exhausted when hehad finished and went , down to Cane's to relax. In the smok-ing-room which faced across St. uSlucb a owed ne Bcarciiuu rv nu • Who for Nefi Goxrionstoun. ■ Casson visits the troubled Mrs. Gordonstoun in tomorrow’s exciting chapter.

This was their six-weeks project in U. S. history and proved to be interesting as well as enlightening. —D.C.H.S.— Well, the senior girls have come : to the aid at the boys again. The latest — they marked the basketball socks so the fellows would be able to distinguish them from the new ones. If it weren’t for the girls, what would the boys do? —D.C.H.S.— Do you know how to make a bed? The home ec class had a lesson in bed-making. Having practiced on the bed on third floor, they should be expert bed makers now. Mothers, take notice —have you seen any improvement at home? The sewing division is also overflowing with clever ideas for the busy, diligent, and extremely interested seamstresses. Among the new ideas are baby booties made of terry cloth and lined with rosebud flannel material. Bathrobes and matching ; draw-string bags, blouses, skirts, and matching collars are only a 1 few of the products of the girls’ handiwork with a needle —or it it J a machine? —D.C.H.S.— It’s stamp time too. at DCHS. which means all of you should try to save your canceled stamps and bring them to school. They will be mailed to one of the several monasteries that always request canceled stamps. —D.C.H.S.— The Commodores lost Tuesday night to the Willshire Bearcats in a real thriller. Tense moments held the crowd as the two teams battled for points. The Commodores just couldn’t get those last two winning points and so went down to defeat by a score of TO to 71. The Commodores remain idle (not really — ’cause they must practice) until January 22 j when they will meet the Adams Central Greyhounds. This will be the second meeting this year with Central and should bring some exciting moments. Come on team; ' beat those Greyhounds! —D.C.H.S.— DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL By Sara Brunnegraff

The class elimination for the Legion oratorical contest was held recently and everyone is breathing much easier now that it is over.
