There still is time for you to contribute to the March of Dimes. The Dimes you give will help stamp out forever that grim, killer and crippier. ——o—-o—— There is a lot of current talk, especially among Republican politicians, against Federal aid for education. We’d like to know just what is wrong with this type of Federal aid. Many G.O.P. bigwigs and some school people argue that we would be subsidizing our school system and that Federal department of education staff members would dictate local policies. Now let’s Think for a few minutes. Many county buildings including Court Houses have been constructed in years past with Federal aid and yet no one has ever accused the Federal government of tampering with the Court or Jury. Isn’t the opposition perhaps born out of the fact that in the construction of new schools, there would be a fear among the politicians that the kick-backs from contractors ’ and the gravy money would be under the scrutiny of the Government? AU shady politicians, and 'unfortunately, there are lots of them, have a fear of Federal investigations and Federal courts. They don’t seem to harbor that fepr against many state courts. Perhaps wa should give a lot of thought to the problem and study the possible results more thoroughly. Dale W. McMiUen, Sr., “Mr. Mac” to his employes, friends and the hundreds othis acquaintances quietly celebrated his sev-enty-seventh birthday at his home in Fort Wayne Sunday and in true .McMiUen fashion “Mr. Mac” still looks to the future, not the ‘past. In addition to building his great livestock feed empire. Central Soya, which has its largest plant in Decatur, “Mr. Mac” ~ has taken tjjme to contribute materially to many phases of life, including Church, civic, educational and business development in Decatur, Fort Wayne and the entire state and middlewest. Every year of his life has been devoted to betterment of working conditions, living conditions, higher standards in manufacturing and selling and in making the world a better place for everyone. He will never stop doing these things as long as he lives, which we sincerely hope will be

many, many years. Our community has benefited from his vision and progressiveness to a point beyond comprehension. It is our foremost wish that “Mr. Mac” continues to enjoy all of the good things ot life and that his good health will continue for many years to come. This is difficut comment to make because the subject is my own father. Fifty-nine years ago today, January 28, 1898, John H. Heller became an employe of the Decatur Democrat and has served during these years in every capacity on this newspaper. He has been much more to the Community than just a newspaper man. For more than forty years, Mr. HeUer served on all types of committees for the civic batterment and growth of Decatur. Perhaps his proudest moment was February 23, 1920 when he received a One Dollar bill from F, S. Hunting, then general manager of the Fort Wayne Works, General Electric Co., for payment in full for the land still occupied by the two great General Electric factories in this city. The letter and accompanying .payment tell only a fraction of the story of how Decatur’s dream to grow to a city by getting new industry, came true. Many agree that the coming of General Electric to Decatur was the start of a development here which took us out of the horse-and-buggy days to the start of our modern era. Always active in community enterprises, the veteran editor served as president -of the Indiana Democratic Editorial association*, attended a hell dozen Democraotic national conventions as a delegate, served for more than 20 years as a member of the board of trustees of the two state teachers colleges and took part in so many things that it would take a whole newspaper to relate them. His life is far from over and while he presently is confined to his home by illness, he keeps alert to the times by reading a half dozen newspapers each day. With more humility than we can ’ express, we humbly salute a great citizen on the anniversary of his start of a long and illustrious career, devoted by his innumerable list of activities to an always better and greater Decatur. We hope for this citizen many more years of life and happiness.

Observes Fifty-Ninth Anniversary j ■ KW. 'flH ■. ; ~ <- ■ Jehn B. HeUer JOHN H. HELLER, veteran Indiana newspaper man and long time publisher of the Decatur Daily Democrat, today observed his fiftyninth year as an employe of this newspaper. Mr. HeUer came here from the Elwood Leader on January 28, 1898. He had previously been a reporter on the Indianapolis Sentinel and had gone to Elwood as an advertising solicitor. The Democrat, in 1898, was a weekly newspaper and it was published by L. G. Eilingham. Mr. Heller and Mr. Eliingham did aU the chores in the plant, except the running of the press. In 1903, the Democrat became The Daily Democrat and Mr. HeUer became the general manager. Personnel was added, and Mr. Ellingham and Mr. HeUer became partners of the business. Mr. Eliingham was elected secretary ot state and when he went to Indianapolis in 1910 to serve in that capacity, Mr. HeUer acquired a third Interest. In 1920 Mr. Eliingham sold out to Mr. HeUer and shortly thereafter, the business was Incorporated as the Decatur Democrat Co., with E. W. Kampe, A. R. Holthouse and Mr. Heller as principal stockholders, and the latter as president and editor. Mr. HeUer relinquished the post of president seven years ago to his son, Dick Heller, and became chairman of the board. He continues to serve as a member of the board of directors with his son and Charles E. Holthouse. Although confined to his home this last year because of illness, publisher HeUer has kept informed of’ the times , by constantly reading newspapers and by means of radio and television news casts.

CHAPTER 19 CASSON drove to the West End Central Police Station and found Strutt out He waited Impatiently, his mind unable to ignore the complicated equation of pain that was circling inside it On the one side were Perry's past, and on the other were his future, victims. Which must he, Casson Duker, jettison to save the other? Strutt looked tired when he came in, “WeU?" he asked. “We know as much as she does," Casson replied. Despite his previous resolve to tell Strutt all that Mrs. Gordonstoun had told him, he could not bring himself to do it. The unsolved computation still wove m his head. “1 told her what we knew. She confirmed 1L She identified the man." "What name did he use?" "She wouldn’t talk," Casson replied. _ ' _ Strutt stared at him. Then he looked away. "Blast them," he said viciously. "They never talk. They think of their own precious skins." There was a crash as the metal ashtray on Strutt’s desk clattered on the opposite wall. "Forget it, Cass," said Strutt “I’m vexed. I’m irritated. I’m homicidal I want to beat that little rat’s bead until he whimpens." "Fine,” said Casson. “But take ft easy." ‘•You understand, Casson, that this is a case for full investigation. That means for a prosecution—if we can get one?” "Yon can't Not on. present evidence. There isn’t any. None of the victims will talk.’’ “Subpeona them. Make them talk.” : "Theyn deny everything.? “Yellow-bellied . . .” Strutt began. - ' “I’m worried about the future victims. We must give them a chance. We must stop Perry from 1 re-becoming Bagot or Martin." . "How? I can’t arrest him. You know "Frighten him off. Let him know that we are after him, that we’ll get him in the end if he goes on playing his pretty little tricks. Make him retire." i Strutt made a noise fflte a laugh. It was without humour. ’’No criminal retires,” he obwrvdd. -Warrr him- off stud one he’ll disappear mid go

Therefore he must f have watched her for the first . time some weeks or months ago. 1 “I think what he does is this. | 5 First: he watches his victim to > establish a time and a place when 1 the alleged crime took place. He 1 lets this imagined event —imag- < . ined at a real time and a real < place — fester in his mind for I > some weeks...." 4 1 “... fester is the word ..." 1 “. . . until, to him, it has’be- ’ t come real, actual, utterly con- ’ vincing. Second: he watches his 1 I victim’s house to see what, the 1 I staff is like, to see the best time 1 to strike, to measure up any pos- 1 . sible pitfalls. That was what I 1 1 saw him doing in Montpelier 1 t Square." 1 “Probable," Strutt commented. “But, If we follow him in the I > second stage, all we would know is the street he had picked. We’d ; : only be able to guess the victim.” "You can do more than guess ( ■ at the victim. So far they have ( all banked at Gamrnan’s. It you ] know the street you can find out ’ which of the residents banks ! there. The one that does is the , . victim." « "It’s not certain that 1 could . find out.” J “I know," said Casson. “Infuriating, isn’t it?” ( "Anyway, we’ve got to wait for stage two. Meantime I’ll turn the , heat on Macfarlane." , "Macfarlane is your unknown < quantity," said Casson slowly. ( “Perry is still mine. Pm going t back to Chiswick. I’m going to 1 get into Perry’s mind.

Southern California ]■ Hit By Snow Storm Most Severe Winter Storm In 8 Years 11 By UNITED PRESS The worst winter storm in eight < years swept Southern California, - suburban Los Angeles and stranding hundreds of skiers in snow- ' dumping a rare snow cover on ( bound mountain resorts. The storm swirled out of a cold , air mass Sunday that now covers all of the country except the Gulf , Coast and the south Atlantic Coast. California highway patrol and sheriffs cars equipped with chains shuttled into the mountain areas to rescue skiers and sight-seers marooned by heavy snows. The chilled vacationers were taken to Red Cross stations for warm meals and rest. To the North, below zero readings were common in the Northern Plains. Temperatures hit 15 below zero at several points in western Montana and at Dubois, Idaho. , A widespread band of freezing drizzle plagued motorists from north central Texas into eastern Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, westtern Kentucky and Tennessee. Weathermen said a new mass of 1 frigid Canadian air has drifted into tire Northern Plains, chilling hopes for relief from the cold air wave.' Light snow is expected from the ' Dakotas through the Great Lakes, turning to freezing rain from Nebraska through tiie Ohio Valley to Pennsylvania and rain in the —„ r ■'

home. AB he did was to stare twice at the blackmailer in such away that Perry would notice. Once he lifted his tankard as If to go over to him but put it down again. The next night he pretended no —1 hesitation. As soon as Perry was settled, Casson walked over to him and sat down. “I hope you don’t mind my butting in," he said, “but Pm sure I’ve seen you before." Perry stiffened and seemed about to move away, but Casson went on cheerfully, "It was Christie’s, wasn’t it? I often go there, you know.” Perry seemed to relax a little. "I have "een to Christie’s," he replied. It was a prim voice, prim and punctilious. “So you’re a fellow enthusiast," said Casson. "That’s splendid. It’s always exciting to meet another civilized being in the middle of a desert of barbarism’’—he waved his arm to indicate the saloon bar. "The civilized are rare," he rattled on, praying that Perry / was as vain as he calculated he would be, "and the barbarians are many. No seruse of beauty among them, no rare perceptibh, no exquisite sense of delicacy. I consider it the duty of people like us to keep those things alive. In fact we’re responsible for civilization. Don’t you agree?” Perry blinked once, very quickly, like a frog. “I do,” he said. His eyes were brown. "My line’s pictures," Casson continued. "I don’t buy for myself, you know. I wish I did, but I can’t afford it. However. I've got a number of rich friends and I buy for them when I can pick up a bargain: not that it’s often, but the profit’s good when it happens. Porcelain too: Rockingham and Chelsea." "You are a dealer?" Perry asked in his flat voice. "Lord, no," Casson laughed. Tm a writer. I’m just doing a book about the architecture of Chiswick.
