«* a y / The week-end promises a little let-up in the sub-zero temperatures of the last few days. While the mercury has hovered around and even below the zero mark, there has been a marked decrease in the number of influenza cases. Even the bitter cold has Its advantages, we guess. ——-o o 1 The annual report of Police Chief James Borders, submitted to the City Council this week, reveals the fact that Decatur has excellent police supervision. Os course, the report only tells a fraction of the story, but it does reveal the fact that our police department is well managed. The entire force deserves the commendation of the public. o—o Northern Indiana highways are reported to be in good condition, but state police and traffic club officials warn that there are some slippery spots and that motorists should drive with caution. Motor mishaps have been held to a startling minimum during this present wave of winter weather with its accompany hazardous driving and apparently the constant warnings to “drive with caution,'* are starting to pay off. o . o One of the most-read features of the Daily Democrat is the School Reporter, which is a resume of the week's happenings at five northern Adams county high schools, Adams Central, Pleasant Mills, Decatur, Decatur Catholic and Monmouth. The items are selected and written by students of each school and they relate to happenings at the school. Two new reporters have been added. They are Miss Sara Brunnegraff at Decatur high school to succeed Miss Ellen Welch and Miss Marybelle Wolfe at Pleasant Mills to succeed Kay Archer. Both retiring reporters did excellent work and we have every reason to believe that the new reporters will do just as well. This feature has proved interesting to the readers and it is the hope of this newspaper that it will continue,

Graliker has been re-elected President of First State Bank, to serve during 1857. We offer congratulations, both to Mr. Graliker and to the directors of the bank, who demonstrated their confidence in his ability by unanimously voting his return. Under Mr. Graliker’s guidance, the local banking house has taken its place among the strongest in the state, with assets of almost sixteen million dollars. We wish to congratulate Mr. Graliker on his achievement and likewise his Cashier, Herman Krueckeberg and assistants Roscoe Glendenning, Earl Caston and William Lose, and all others of the bank personnel. Bank directors include in addition to Mr. Graliker, E. W. Busche, G. W. Vizard, Earl Fuhrman and Mr. Krueckeberg. ——o— —o—— O. M. McGeath, director of the Decatur Youth and Community Center has been re-named to that post by the members of the City Recreation Board. Mr. McGeath has had a wide experience in operating community centers and similar buildings and is presently serving on several national committees dealing with youth recreation activities. Starting his post nere a month before Decatur’s Center was formally opened, the Decatur manager carried out the details which accompanied the week of celebration. In his almost two years of operating the Center, Mr. McGeath has won the admiration and confidence of the Decatur young people and he has inaugurated a number of programs and activities which have received national recognition from leaders of youth groups. Under his direction, the Center has grown to be one of the most popular places in northern Indiana for both young people and adults.

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. How long should a guest at a wedding reception pause before each members of the reception line? A. His stop before each one in the reception line should never be any longer than a “pause.” To indulge in any lengthy conversation is extremely inconsiderate of the other guests behind you. Q. What is the correct reply to make, after you have paid a short visit in someone’s home and that person says, “It was so nice seeing you”? A. You may say, “Thank you; I was so glad to find you home,” "Please visit me very soon,” or any pleasant remark. Q. At what age should I start teaching my three-age-old son to rise in the prestence of women guests? A. When he is about five of six. o —-o i 20 Years Ago I Today Q ' O January 18, 1937 — Mrs. Genevieve August, of Decatur, is installed as district president of Women of the Moose.

CHAPTER 17 THE entry in Who's Who was 1 not very informative. Gordonstoun was a soldier of some distinction. His regiment was a fine one. He had an address in Scotland and another in London —77, Montpelier Square, 5.W.7. His recreation was given as stalking. Casson smiled. His wife had been well and truly stalked. But he needed more before ne went to see her, so he rang up a friend of bls in the AdjutantGeneral’s Department at the war office. "Gordonstoun," said the voice. “Extraordinary chap. Why?” “Friend of mine was asking," Casson replied glibly. "I think he wants to get his son into the Army." The voice cackled. “Neil’U chivvy him around all right Believes in discipline. Amazing chap. Runs a mile before breakfast Reads the lesson in church and all that The troops love him. Just shows, doesn’t it?” "Where’s h* now?” Casson asked. "Kenya," said the voice. "Guarding the jolly old empire. Good show.” “Thanks a lot, Dickie. . . .” Casson rang off. Perry was a good picker. The wife of an absent and martinet general was in no position to withstand a clever blackmail. But so far as he knew, she was ferry's first woman victim. Therefore, ne might have said something gauche, something that made her hate him more than fear him. She might have a conscience. She might eyen help. You never knew with women. That is why Casson liked them. At Mount Street there was a note from Lockyer with fresh details on Perry. I John Henry Perry had entered Gamman’s bank in 1921 at the age of seventeen. His career in the bank had been undistinguished. After thirty years’ service he had retired. He was then unmarried and his address hal been 17, Elgar Crescent, W. 2. A postscript added: "No war service." One point puzzled Casson. How had Perry dared to blackmail clients of the bank in which he himself had worked for so long? ; He must have reckoned that they would recognize him. even under his .disguise. Unless he had peen one of the unseen workers behind the frosted glass wall which separated the public from the private

side of the bank, a hidden and humming hive into which even Lockyer might not bother to penetrate. Casson copied out the partlcu--lars and sent them to Strutt. Then he returned to Chiswick. It would not do for him to be absent from the Shepley Arms on the day when Perry had made his pounce. Perry was punctual. He drank his pint slowly- and left at. his usual time. Casson leaned on the bar, talking about the neighborhood to Peter, keeping his back to the blackmailer. He no longer worried about following Perry in the daytime. The blackmailer would not prepare another coup for some weeks, perhaps even for some months. Instead of staying in Chiswick, Casson went up to his office the next morning and dealt with an accumulation of correspondence. At midday fie rang Mrs. Gordonstoun. He asked if he could come to see her, gave the name of his firm, and said he wanted to see her about some business in which her husband was interested. Her voice was cool and pleasant but distant. She asked him to tea. When he arrived at Montpelier Square a y*>ung maid showed him into the long double drawingroom. Mrs. Gordonstoun was a woman of about thirty-eight. A honey blonde, observed Casson, who only really liked dark brunettes and red-haired girls. He took in the string of real pearls, the smart, but not startling print dress, the unobtrusive pink nail varnish, and the leather London shoes. "How do you do, Mr. Duker," she said. “My husband is away and 1 don’t know if I can be of much help.” "In Kenya, isn’t he?" Casson replied. “I am sure you can help, Mrs. Gordonstoun.” She sat down while Casson lit a cigarette. He put down on a table the covered photograph of Perry which he had brought with him. "Before I begin I would like to tell you who 1 am,” he said. She lifted one hand in a slight gesture. ■ 7-— "I am the Director of Manton, Heywood in Vigo Street," he went on, not heeding her. “1 was a captain, in the Airborne Division at the - end of the war, I am a member of Cane’A .. ."

Filmland Pays Lasl Respects To Bogart Funeral Rites Held Thursday For Star HOLLYWOOD — Filmland paid its last respects to Humphrey Bogart the blunt-spoken, cynical star Thursday at memorial serv-Writer-director John Huston, in a last tribute to his friend said, ‘■There will never be another like him.” That was the theme of Huston’s eulogy at All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills where some 700 of Bogart's friends had gathered. More than 3,000 others stood under olive trees in the sunny courtyard of the church and on lawns of surrounding homes, listening to the rites over loudspeaker systems. Inside the Gothic church stars and studio workers paid their last respects to the memory of the 57-year-old actor who died last Monday of cancer of the throat. During the services Bogart's remains were cremated at Forest Lawn Memorial park 20 miles away. Beside the altar, encased in glass, was a model of Bogart's 55foot yawl, the Santana. At the request of his widow, actress Lauren Bacall, no flowers were displayed except for a dozen sprays outside the sanctuary door. Huston said the final weeks of Bogart’s life were spent in a wheelchair. "No one who sat in his presence in the final weeks could ever forget. It was a unique display of sheer animal courage," he said. Mrs. Bogart and their two children, Stephen, 8, and Leslie, 4, sat with bowed heads in a front pew. Neither during the ceremonies, nor afterwards, did any member of the immediate family break down or weep.
