If you would take care of getting your 1957 auto license plate right now, you would avoid that long stand in line which will be necessary in about ten days. There always is a last minute rush to get under the wire and it is so unnecessary. The auto license bureau is open six days a week from 8:90 o’clock in the morning until 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Why don't you get your new license today? Be sure and bring your tax receipt along too. „o—--Figures compiled last week on the operation of Decatur’s municipal swimming pool reveal swimming is one of the most economical forms of recreation. More than 28,000 swimmers took advantage of the facilities offered here last summer. No charge is ' made here for use of the local municipal pool and its popularity has remained high through the years. Cost to the city is low and the cool and healthful waters offer recreation to hundreds who otherwise would be deprived of a great summer relaxation. It’s a little shiwery right now to talk about this wonderful summer sport, but in July and August, it furnishes happiness to many. We are glad the city officials are able to hold the costs far below the national average and only wish that we had more municipal pools. ‘ _o O ' Much research is underway pertaining to the effect the use at salt and calcium chloride have on automobiles, when used to deice streets. Results are still inconclusive, but early reports show that benefits are far greater than the damage done to the vehicle. Results of the many and varied investigations reveal that with only the smallest amount of winter care to your automobile, no costly damage will result. Rust can develop on the body of a car, which is pitted or scratched from stones striking it or from it being scraped and rust also gathers around the bumper and other chromed parts unless these parts are flushed occassionally with clear water. Most independent researchers have agreed however, that more safety can be had on the highways with the use of I salt and traffic jams are lessenEed.

So me friend have just told me that I committed a serious breach of etiquette by congratulating a girl upon her engagement — that this suggested I thought she was lucky to have found a man. Is this true? A. This was a mistake, but is a very common one, and you should not worry too much about it. The usual procedure is to congratulate the man, and'offer wishes of happines to the girl. Q. When one is smoking at the table in a restaurant, and there is no ashtray, is it all right to use a plate or saueer for the ashes? - A. Only an ill-bred person would the waiter or waitress for an ashthe waiter or waiteress for an a*htray.

CHAPTER 25 STRUTT stood motionless in th* middle of the room. "Why not suicide?" Strutt asked, still motionless. "Tm sure it wasn’t” He told him about Perry and the handkerchief. “You think it was fixed?" "By Perry." “Why did you come here this morning?” Casson was pursuing another line of thought t “You will have noticed that Mrs. Queenleigh is a first-rate cleaner. You've only ‘ got to 'look at the brass next door. It’s beautifully polished. The odds are therefore that she cleans the tap of the gas-fire. It certainly looks like it If she did, there will be no fingerprints on it even though it was turned on. Perry had to turn it on himself, and he didn’t dare leave prints. Macfarlane wouldn't have wiped the tap. He was drunk. If you find no prints on that tap, it was murder,” Casson concluded. “Maybe.” They moved into the — living room. Then the processton started. The police doctor came, spent some time in the bedroom, and left. Two police photographers moved in with tripods, cameras, and flashlamps. Casson watched them in action. The fingerprint expert listened to Strutt’s instructions, nodded and got down to work. Casson wandered back to the living room. Strutt came in, holding the bedroom doormat. "I should shove off, Cass,” he • said. "There’s nothing you can do here. I’ll need you later. You’ll have to make a statement.” "Til go, back to Mount Street You can ring me there.” Casson went back to his flat. Mrs. Baker made him an omelette, but he could neither finish it nor could he (ace the salad of sliced tomato and onion. He opened a bottle of Burgundy, feeling that he needed its heavy magnificence to permeate and soothe his mind. He put —■ the full glass in the sunlight on the window table of the library and, while it gently warmed, he watched the children playing in the Gardens below. Strutt did not telephone until eight o’clock that evening. When he did, Casson went down to the fiavile Row police station. Strutt •

was sitting in ms omce, coauess, his desk covered with sheets of closely typed reports. "Well?” Casson asked. Strutt did not took up. "He must have died from gas. But he took a stiff dose of sleeping draught as well.” "But he wouldn’t need anything to make him sleep. He was a healthy young man; the sort of fellow who’d go to sleep as soon as he got into bed, then get up at half-past six in the monung and go for a run.” “Well, he did. It was in the tooth-glass,” said Strutt. "He got the prescription from a doctor he went to at the beginning of last week. We traced the chemist . . ." ". . . from the medicine bottle on the bed?” "And we’ve got the prescription. We’re checking with the doctor. I want to know what reason Macfarlane gave for needing dope.” "What was it?” "Chloral hydrate. The Mickey Finn. It can be lethal.” "You don’t think he took, or was given, an overdose?" “Hard to tell. The doctor is checking at the post-mortem. But 1 calculate the medicine bottle only held enough for seven or eight .doses. If Macfarlane had been taking it regularly, there would only have been enough left for an ordinary dose. And he hadn’t got any more of the stuff. We searched the flat.” “Was the girl on his mind ?" “I don’t know. We picked her up as she left her office—solicitors in Essex Street —and brought her along here. She’s a good girl. She went the color of whitewash but her voice never faltered. She said they'd had a quarrel or two because he’d been pressing her to marry him as soon as possible and she didn’t want to be rushed into it She said he’d seemed nervous and irritable over the last week or two. That’s aIL She’s hiding something." Strutt grimaced and threw the unwound clip into the wastepaper basket “I don’t think so. But you can never tell how nice a nice girl is until you can prove it. She might be a little vixen. She might be hiding a lot. I don’t know. As a matter of fact I don’t think I know anything at all about worn- — , ;—...X ■ 1- '—S’.

en. loua Better nave a go at her. You seem to know a lot about them." Casson did not reply to the invitation. "Were there any fingerprints on the gas-tap?” he asked. "Not one.” v “So Macfarlane couldn’t have turned it on?" Strutt shrugged. "Probably not. ft’s not proof. There’s not a tag of evidence that Macfarlane was murdered. You know perfectly well that everything points to suicide: the quarrels, the sleeping draught, the sudden drinking And getting . .drunk—everything.” "Except Macfarlane’s character. He wouldn't ever take his own life. It’s psychologically impossible." “Tell that to the coroner." "Don’t you think so?" Casson persisted. . Strutt picked up the telephone. "I must ring the boy’s parents," he said. "We’ve formally identified the corpse but they may want to come down and see it. And then there's the inquest They live in Lockerbie, poor devils. His dad’s a farmer. You can imagine him: hard-working, God-fearing, a decent, honest, respectable man. Young Jim was the only child. And I’ve got to tell him he’s dead. I wish I wasn t a copper.” When the call came through and was over, Strutt got up from his desk and slouched over to the window. “I agree with you, Cass. Macfarlane was murdered. He was murdered by Perry. That’s why Perry went to Brighton. To prepare himself. But we can’t prove it There were a number bt partly smudged fingerprints on the chloral bottle. And some clear ones. But they were all placed in such away that whoever had gripped the bottle had held It like ' this.” He picked up a clean medicine bottle that had been lying on his. desk. His fingerprints pointed towards the base of the bbttle while the bottle-neck pointed at his chest “No one would hold a bottle like that it- he’s going lo pour from ft," Strutt continued. “Whose were the prints?" "Macfariane’s, of course." Casson calls on Macfar-, lane’s fiancee in tomorrow’s „ installment of Small Venom.

Birth Os Infant Is Televised On BBC One British Paper Protests Showing LONDON (UP) —The British Broadcasting Corp, televised the birth of a baby Monday night. Most viewers agreed it was done with remarkable tact, but the dissenting tabloid Daily Sketch quoted a “father of two” today as saying BBC was turning television “into an ultra-sensational horror comic." The BBC said early today it had only six telephone calls from the millions who watched the program around their firesides after most children were asleep. Four calls disapproved, two approved. Doctors Voice Protests The birth of the baby came as part of a program in which "nat- . ural birth” expert Grantly Dick Read defended his system whereby the mother helps guide the baby into the world—a system opposed by London doctors. One of the doctors present said after the film, “I wouldn’t like any patient of mine groping around trying to help her baby out.” The doctors were not identified in line . with British Medical Association policy. The film showed the mother on her back, her knees up, the baby already half born. One of the two doctors guided the mother’s hands ; and handed her the newborn babe as a smile of bliss spread over her face. Mother Was Anonymous The mother was an unidentified South African who volunteered when the film was made in John--1 annesburg last year. She v agreed ; to its being shown anywhere in the world except South Africa. The Daily Sketch was the only . newspaper to protest. It carried a headling “Revolting—By A Father ( Os Two” over a story by Alan Gardner. "Revolting! Beyond the pale! I condemn the BBC for the worst ’ lapse of taste ever," Gardner was quoted. “They showed us a baby being , born in all its stark, primitive de- ’ tail. All right. We were adult. So' the children were in bed when the ’ program was on. ’ “But there are some things . which should never be shown, on television and this was one of ; them. It sickened me. It sickened my wife. “I did not see my children bom. I didn’t want to—though I respect the motives of those men who do. “But to blazon the moments of childbirth on television screens is : to turn, television . Into an ultrasensational horror comic.” ' Trade i* a good town — Decatur

Much Paperwork Needed For Social Security

WASHINGTON (UP) — Making out your income tax return is child’s play compared with the rigmarole of government paperwork you’ll have to go through when you qualify for social security benefits. Retirement age may seem a long way off. But you can save yourself a lot of time and trouble later if you start now to collect some of the documents you’ll need to establish your eligibility for a pension. ~ Even if you have birth certificates, marriage licenses and other "proofs,” it will take an average of about two months to process your papers. You’ll wait another two to six weeks before your first check arrives. Longer delays are not uncommon, particularly for those who have to rely on such “secondary documents” as a family Bible or the sworn statements of old friends to prove their age. The complicated paperwork and follow-up investigation is required by the intricate provisions of the social security law, or as a safeguard against fraud.' Gather the Proofs Here's what you’ll have to go through when you reach retirement day, and a few tips on shortcuts: On R-Day minus 60—two months before your 65th birthday if you’re a man, or your 62nd birthday if you’re a woman—visit your district social security office. Your local post office can give the address of the one serving your area. Don’t bother going sooner. The social security folks won’t start processing your forms until 60 days before you’re eligible, no matter how much earlier you apply. - If the district social security office is some distance from your home, write and ask when a field representative will be in your town. Be prepared for your first interview by gathering together the best proofs of (1) your age; t 3) your marriage, if you intend to claim an extra payment for your wife or husband; (3) your first mate’s death certificate or your divorce papers, if you’re remarried: and (4) your discharge papers, if you served in the armed forces since Sept. 7, 1939. It you lack some or all of these papers, don’t wait until you have them to visit the social security office. File your application and send in the “proofs” later. It’s the date of the application itself, not the date on which the last supporting paper is received, that determines the priority in which your forms are processed. Many Qnesttens Asked You can expect tn be asked

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1967

some very personal questions, and some that will sound silly. For example: Were you married In a church or civil ceremony? Are you now living with your wife (or husband)?* If you’re separated, are you contributing to your mate’s support? Voluntarily or by court order? Did you work for a railroad at any time after 1936? (This question is designed to find out whether you qualify under the railroad retirement law rather than social security.) There will also be questions about how much part-time work you plan to do in retirement, what kind, and how much you expect to earn from it. The best why*to speed up work on your application is to answer all questions fully—and truthfully. Some or all of your claims will be investigated. If any indication is found that you're trying to pull a fast one on Uncle Sam, your file goes to the fraud division tor a complete investigation. In that case, it could be a year or more before your papers go through-Ex-Geneva Grocer Dies Last Evening John H. Moore, 50, Geneva grocer until ill health forced his retirement a few months ago, was found dead of a heart attack at 6 * p. m. Monday in his auto on a Fort Wayne street. Surviving are the widow, Erma; three grandchildren; three sisters and a halfbrother. Funeral services will be held at 10 a. m. Friday at the Hardy & Hardy funeral home. Geneva, the Rev. Harold Schramm officiating. Friends may call at the funeral home after, 7 o’clock this evening, x Pheasant Cost SALT LAKE CITY — ffl — Mrs. Venice Cloward got a pheasant without leaving her house, but it was expensive.
