Your best bet is to always reed i the Democrat advertisements and trade in Decatur. o— -o , Another safe driving week has been marked up on Indiana highways and the number of highway tragedies has been greatly reduced. The motorists are to be congratulated, along with highway enforcement officials. Gradually, the people are becoming educated on highway manners. o o The prudent shopper will read every advertisement in the Daily Democrat, the same as every news item, and know when and where the best bargains are available. In that way you will be able to make great savings in your budget. Take advantage ■ t of the many bargains in Decatur stores and you’ll soon become a Decatur shopper and a Decatur booster. We challenge any city to match local retail stores in quality and prices. o <>■»■ Residents of Decatur aye extremely fortunate. We have an excellent fire department, with trained volunteers who have courage in every type of emergency. As a result of this good fire protection, many of us are inclined to become careless around our homes. Right now is a good time to check our homes and eliminate all the visible dangers of a jwdden fire. Overloaded circuits, exposed hot wires and broken electrical appliances are three of the most predominant causes of home fires. You can perhaps save your entire home from destruction -b? periodic inspections of your home. ISo today!* O o——• • Police have a million and one things to do in their daily work routine, but the flagrant and constant violation of delivery trucks, most of them from out of the city, should be called to their attention. These drivers leave their trucks, often parked on the wrong side of the street, with motors running. Oftentimes if their attention is called to the violation, the driver acts insulted, as if-he were a privileged character. Many of these delivery trucks do not heed stop signs or yellow lines. They are, i however, just like most groups. The violators are in the minority and the minority should be eliminated. j V*

The Greater Decatur Fund is within 85,000 of reaching a goal sufficiently large to buy a factory site in Decatur and have it ready for offering to a potential new industry. The site will belong to the people of Decatur and these contributors will select the type of industry which will be offered a choice location here. By owning a site like the one in the southwest part of the city, we can well afford to wait until a desireable industry is available, then we should go after it, tooth and naU. Decatur is a wonderful city and it will grow. Let’s all join in this last drive to send the Greater Decatur fund over the proposed mark. ——o— Former President Truman has declined an invitation by President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles to visit Greece and Turkey as the official U. S. representative. After being treated like an ugly duckling for lour years, the President and Dulles were both home long enough to get together and invite Mr. Truman to take official part in a Government function. Mr. Truman, wisely and graciously declined the invitation. After Mr. Dulles has muffed and muddled his way about the world for many months, why should any Democrat help him with his dirty linen? We’ve always admired Mr. Truman’s spunk and we are glad to see that he holds principal above personal glory. 0 Ito The Indiana General Assembly has three full weeks Jr which to complete its business. Gov. Handley has promised to present his tax increase plans to -the members at an early date. The Legislature is shaping up into a typical Republican session, pleasing no one and acting most kindly to big business. It doesn’t appear right now that even the time question will be solved by the G.O.P. carrying. out the referendum will of the people. We are willing to wait until the fireworks are all over, before appraising the Handley administration, but the leaders had better get busy or this administration can easily become more flagrant and dictatorial than the late Craig disaster.

CHAPTER 31 IN the yard of the police station Casson and Perry joined a straggling line of assorted men. At the far end of the yard a uniformed ,constable watched them from the drtving-seat of a black, polished police car. “1 say,” Casson whispered to Perry, “it’d be jolly fun if the identifying chap picked on me. wouldn’t it?” He chuckled. “Especially for bigamy, as I’m not married. Or you for counterfeiting or something.” Perry swayed and his body brushed Casson’s elbow. Casson could feel him trembling. A momentary pity seized him as ne recognized how Perry’s lonely defenses were being battered. “Here, hold up,' old chap," said Casson. “You look as if you nad seen a ghost.’’ “I don’t feel very well." Perry muttered. “I think 1 must have caught a chill.” "That’ll be all right,” Casson reassured him. "It’s Just nerves. 1 always have a guilty feeling myself whenever I see a copper.” Perry’s mouth was a narrow, shut line, quite bloodless. Weldon came out of the police offices with a younger man, cleanshaven and fresh-faced, wearing a neat grey suit. Casson did not recognize him but would nave wagered money that he was another policeman acting the part for the occasion. Very slowly the two men walked up the line, Weldon two paces behind the man in the grey suit. The latter scrutinized each face as he passed. , The two reached the far end of the line. They held a whispered consultation. They came back again. Each face was scrutinized once more. Opposite Perry the grey-suited man paused for a moment longer than he had done before the others. He passed on i to Casson, gave him a long look. Weldon addressed the line of uncomfortable men. ’’Thank you, gentlemen," he i said. “Much obliged to you. You I can go now.” Casson took Perry by the arm. ' "Well, old Chap,” he said cheer- i fully. “They didn’t get us that i time. Come along and I’ll buy ’ you a drink." He steered him to- 1 ward the police offices. 1 In the corridor they met Con- i

stable Bentley, also produced for the occasion. “ "Morning, Mr. Perry,” he said. “AU those antiquities of yours safe and sound, eh? Can’t be too careful, you Know, sir.” Perry muttered something and made for the door. Once in the street he tugged a handkerchief out of his shirtcuff and mopped his face. He took off his spectacles and cleaned them. “,Come and have a drink,” said Casson. “You look as if you need it.” A hundred yards down the High Street they went into a publichouse. “What’ll you have ?" Casson asked. “I think a whisky, thank you,” Perry replied. “I feel rather poorly." He drank his double whisky in three gulps, breathing hard. Such color as there ever was in Ins cheeks returned to them. Only his hand, where it rested the glass on the bar counter, still trembled. Casson ordered two more doubles, and Perry made no attempt to stop him. He took his second drink more slowly, and Casson could watch the confidence returning. Gradually he straightened himself up. He uttered a strangled and humorous laugh. “It was those unpleasant persons in the courtyard of the police station,” he said. "They made me feel queer. They looked so common.” Casson marvelled at the mind whlcb could produce such reasoning. Then he escorted Perry home. Casson had his lunch and went up to Savile Row. "Well.” said Strutt,' “how’s he cooking ?” "We’ve got away to go. What about putting the plain clothes men on to follow him?” Strutt shut the window. “You don’t think we’ll lose him?" “Why should we?” “It we have him followed so that he notices, he’ll know we’re after him. Once he knows that, he'll bolt. These boys always do.” “He won’t,” Casson said. "He won’t go without his precious museum. It’s the only love — or rather the only background — which he has to his life, and he’ll have to take it with him. That means he’ll have to have a furniture van, and so we shall know <•. : .A a a A— ——— • • . » a»

■ if he's going and where he goes.” "All right,” said Strutt “I'll . put the boys on him." i “You’ll be commissioner yet” i “But" said Strutt -, rh give you no more than a week. Unl derstand?” “No," Casson replied and reach- , ed for bis gloves. "Give me a cigarette, will you?” Casson gave him one and Strutt smoked it in savage puffs for a third of its length. He threw it down on the floor and ground it out "Horrible,” he said. "Good-bye." • • • Perry did not appear in the Shepley Arms that evening but the candles were lit in his firstfloor museum, and they were not snuffed out until after midnignt Perry had been sitting quite still, watching them. He sat tn one of the high-backed wing chairs, fighting a battle against panic. He had not experienced this sort of creeping hysteria: not at any rate, since he was first sent to school. He repeated to himself aphorisms from Marcus Aurelius but they made no comforting vibration on the nerves. He fell back on logic. He could not have gone wrong, he assured himself. There were only two points on which he could possibly have erred, and on those his memory checked that he had done what he had intended to do. On those points he was sure of his memory—as sure as memory could be. He swallowed two more aspirins that night, telling himself that he really had caught a chill and would feel better when tie had sweated it out. He wished he bad some whisky in the house. • . • • For the whole of the next day Casson watched No. 51. His own ordinary life had dropped Into an irrelevant background. The pleas- : ant office In Vigo Street, his com- I sortable flat, the good wine at I Cane’s, his friends, his pictures, his plans: they had all been sub- ' merged under the pattern into which Perry had drawn him. That pattern was becoming stiff, rigid and inexorable, drawn taut. Jean Shaw agrees to help Casson In tomorrow’s absorbing chapter.

Asserts Organized Labor Is Ignored New Castle Union Head Makes Charge NEW CASTLE. Ind. QI — Raymond Frazier, president of the New Castle Industrial Union Council. today charged that organized labor in Henry County is being ignored by the area's legislative representatives. Frazier said the council was interested in discussing several bills before the General Assembly, but telegrams sent Jan. 21 to the county’s representatives asking for a meeting had been "disregarded.” Fred .A. Bills, Lewisville, and Clem Conway, Mooreland, represent Henry County in the House, and Carl A. Helms, Fortville, represents the area in the Senate. All are Republicans. Frazier said "at least two of the three” have; been meeting "regularly” with other local organizations. "They are supposed to represent all the people and, regardless of what others may think or say, we consider union members entitled to the same courtesies extended to others,” Frazier said. "We feel we should be welcome , when we ask to see our legis- ; lators as we are when we contribute to the Community Fund, or first aid unit, or the gym ' drive, or when buying food and ' clothing, or paying the mortgage on a home,” he said. Bills and Conway both denied they had received the telegram ' from Frazier. Conway said Frazier had asked | him to join him for dinner once, but he “couldn't get away.” Bills said he never had "sidestepped Frazier” and both said they would be willing to meet with him at any time. Bills and Conway said they are for the controversial “right to work” bill and will speak out for i it as well as vote for passage. > "The workingmen in our area I want the ‘right to work’ bill,” » Bills said. Rabbi Doppelt To Speak To Students Dr. Frederic Doppelt, rabbi of the Jewish Temple in Fort Wayne, will be the speaker for an assembly program Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. at Decatur high schooL Doppelt’s topic will be "Brotherhood.” The program is planned by the school in observance of national brotherhood week. The public is invited to attend the program.

County Roads Are Undergoing Repair Lawrence Noll, superintendent of the county highway department, reported to county commissioners Monday that the department is working as rapidly as possible to repair county roads left in bad condition by winter weather. Noll stated that almost all of the roads of the county system are in poor shape because of heavy snows and icing and many are in need of immediate attention. The department has received numerous complaints about the condition of the roads, especially > the stone roads of the system. Noll pointed out that the grading and re-stoning of roads all over the county will take time but that every effort would be made to complete it as soon as possible.

Welcome Rainfall For Drought Area Two Days Os Rain In Southwest Area By UNITED PRESS Crop conditions were described as the best in five years today in the wake of two days of rain over portions of the Southwest drought bowl. Agricultural experts said the general rains .in the Rio Grande f Valley region gave a "tremendous boost" to the multl-million-dollar cotton, citrus and vegetable crops. The rainfall dumped up to three inches Os precipitation in west and central Texas and one Inch on the rest of the state. It was the best general rain In the area in years and farmers said their crops were in better shape than at any time since 1950. ia. A fresh blast of Arctic air, meanwhile, swept into the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes regions, tumbling temperatures as much as 20 degrees in 24 hours. The 'core of the cold wave centered over Minnesota and northern , Wisconsin, with the lowest reading ' registering 11 degrees below zero at International Falls, Minn. Warmer weather overspread the East from Ohio to southern New England. The biggest change was along the Atlantic Coast from Virginia to northern Florida where readings climbed an average 25 degrees as compared with Mon- ■ day.
