We've never heard it called Indian Winter, but these last few mild days in the midst of a lot of heavy winter, have been most welcomed. The braver souls are looking longingly and optimistically at the calendar. Well, we can wish, can't we? ft o -o — The shoppers of this area are reminded that you can get great values at Decatur retail stores, every day of the year, regardless of whether there is a sale in progress or not. You’ll get the best available merchandise at the lowest possible price and to prove this point all you have to do is compare Decatur prices with those of any neighboring shopping district. You’ll be the winner if you get the “trade in Decatur” habit. , O' "■■■■■ ■<>. Parents, with children attending the Northwest school, are protesting the fact that the Dayton street railroad crossing is unattended at times when youngsters are using the crossing to go to and from the school building. There was an original agreement, it seems to us that the railroad would furnish a watchman at necessary times, when there was pupil traffic. It seems that some would rather wait until we have experienced a terrible and perhaps avoidable tragedy. We join the anxious parents in demanding that precautionary measures be taken at once. ——o —-p The Indiana Taxpayers Association points out that the pending legislation now in the Indiana General Assembly could well drive much new industry out of Indiana taxes sounbearable that new industry would not settle here. That Association points out that in addition to the proposed 790 million dollar budget' tor the next two years, there also is proposed new legislation which would add 137 million dollars in new taxes. Os the present legislation 294 bills would increase taxes and 14 would reduce present taxes. More than 86 proposals call for increases in officials' salaries. The present General Assembly has failed miserably in the development of leadership, and at this late stage, a strong leader is almost an impossibility. Looks like John Q. Public was in for a good one.

You can still make your best buys in Decatur stores. Local merchants are constantly replenishing their stock to give shoppers of this area the best at the lowest. Your best bet the year around is to Trade in Decatur! —o—- - have been led to believe that they are the major group getting the lion’s share of subsidies. Figures released by House committee on agriculture deny this emphatically. Actually, while farmers are told that they should not receive subsidies, nearly every other group in the United States is receiving much more. “Subsidy” means, Webster says, "a public grant to aid an enterprise for public convenience.” But sometimes the rose is called by another name. For instance—The tariff is a subsidy to industry, because it is a government action that allows businesses to charge much more for their goods. Accelerated tax amortization for defense plants subsidizes toe owners of these plants. Sale of Federal surplus property at a loss is a subsidy to toe purchasers. The postal deficit on second class mail has always been considered as a subsidy to business—one that business does not wish changed. How about construction of heavy-duty roads for trucks and buses? How about land grants across the continent to railroads? Special payments to airlines to subsidize their flights through air mail contracts? Direct government subsidies to groups from 1949 through 1955 were: Labor, 51,435 million; Agriculture, 23,773 million; Business, 25,873 million; General Aids,, 29,880 million; Veterans, 232,687 million. So as usual the farmer and laborer are getting the short end of toe help. Yet some farm groups are telling toe farmer that he should not take subsidies! But the farmer continues to pay taxes so that other groups can receive their subsidies. High wages, high prices to farmers, and reasonable prices in retail stores mean more purchases, more spending, and more production, with a better living possible for all of us. This is toe important thing. If we have money we can pay taxes. If we have no money, any tax is unbearable.

CHAPTER 30 THE next day, Perry turned up in the Shepley Arms as usual, , but, for the first time since Casson hafi known him, he looked tired. For a time he said nothing. Then casually he asked: “Did you hear a row last night?” ••Row? No. Why?” “A policeman woke me up about midnight and said he’d seen a burglar on my roof. He insisted on going into every room. I was ' most annoyed. He was a very inquisitive man.” “They’re curious by nature, ’ said Casson reassuringly. ‘They’ll sniff anything to see whether it smells." Perry finished his beer and got up to leave. “If you're not busy tomorrow," said Casson, “it might interest you to come along with me. I'm going to Chiswick.House to look at some William and Mary chairs.” ' "1 don’t think I will,” Perry replied, rather ungraciously. “I wish you would. I'd like your advice." “Very well,” he said. ‘‘Eleven tomorow morning.” Casson went to Cane’s for dinner and rang Strutt. “Hullo, hullo,” said Strutt. “Have -yox broken him?” '"Not yet. But the dramatic society was superb." “What’s up?” “He and 1 are going to Chiswick House tomorrow morning. At eleven. That’s the time for the next set of fireworks. Ths boys can pick us up in Burlington Lane or Chiswick Lane. And lay on tho show for just after twelve.” _ • • • Casson sat on for a long time In the dining-room of Cane's, brooding over the few moves, still left in the game. He ordered a glass of brandy and took it into tire deserted smoking room. Lying back in a huge leather armchair, he realized that he had overlooked the essential point. He could soften Perry by fear. But the way to hang him was by conceit In the end it must be the distortion in "Perry’s character that would wreck him; and Casson was now convinced that the strongest distortion in him was snobbery, allied to vanity. He wanted to see himself in print. He wanted to be a member of a club. Casson could help him to wig oi' Uwse ambitions

and the achievement would kill him. • • • For the second night running Perry lay awake. He lay rigidly on his back. His eyes were tightly closed, but his mind was whirling in a fixed circle. That police officer could only have wanted to see if there had really been a burglar. He looked too young and too innocent to conceal any other purpose. But why had he Insisted in going all over the house? Perry turned over on his side. He couldn’t have forgotten anything In Macfarlane’s flat? He had checked that there was no string left in the mat where he had pulled it up against the door. Had one of the two pieces fallen out of his pocket? He remembered counting them when he got home. They were safe. He had checked on the handkerchief also. What else could there have been ? He switched on the light and took two aspirins. At all costs he must sleep. It was just a temporary fit of nerves. His stomach was upset. He would feel better tomorrow. • • • While they were walking up to Chiswick House the next morning Casson scrutinized him closely. Perry looked tired, but not as tired as he had done the day before. He seemed to be recovering balance. Which was all to the good. Every time you were knocked off poise you found it more difficult to regain. Chiswick House was a stately grace. The galleries were cool in contrast to the summer warmth 1 outside. CassoH and Perry moved slowly through, them', remarking on a htgh-baeked, heavily carved chair, admiring a crystal and silver reliquary casket. “Marvelous," said Perry, star- ; ing at the bright box. i There was something disgustt ing in this man gazing with such , desire at a thing which had housed an object of adoration: ’ gazing at" it with mean and vorai cjous greed. . When they emerged, they • strolled slowly »p Burlington . Lane. Casson stopped to light a . cigarette and glanced backwards. • Behind them were the two plain-’ . clothes policemen.

them draw level. They looked at one another and crossed the road again. The taller of the two —Detective Sergeant Villiers, Casson remembered —came straight up to them and addressed Casson. •‘Excuse me, sir," he said. “1 am a police officer.” He held out his wallet to show the warrantcard. “I wonder if you and this other gentleman would care to help us?” “I am always delighted to help the law," Casson replied pompously. “What do you wish us to do? Test the rope for an execution ?” Casson heard the faint intake of breath from Perry. “No, sir,” Villiers replied. "We have an identification parade. We * want to see if someone will recognize a suspect and we have to mix him up with a lot of innocent people so as to make the identification more certain. It’s purely voluntary, of course.” "I don’t think ..Perry began, but Casson broke in on him: "We shall come with you, Officer,” Casson replied. Reluctantly Perry moved off with them. When the police officers had drawn ahead, Perry whispered to Casson: "I’ve got to get back for my meal, you know. You go along without me.” "Don’t be a spoil-sport,” Casson said loudly. “Besides, it's one’s duty to help the police, you know.” Perry was quiet until they had come out into the Chiswick High Road and turned towards the police station. Then he pulled a watch out of his pocket and looked at it ,“I think I really must go home,” he said firmly. "I’ve just remembered I left something in . the oven.” can’t go now, old man,” said Casson. ’‘They won t believe that yarn for a moment and i they’ll think you’ve got a guilty conscience. Come on. There's nothing to it.” They had only been in the waiting room of the police station for ’ a minute when Superintendent 1 Weldon came in. i "Much obliged tp you gentle- • men,” he said. “We won't de- ■’ tain you long.
