Grass is starting to show a little green and spring can’t be too far away. It won’t be long until you’ll hear that familiar put-put of the mower and we’ll wonder where winter has gone. —o—- - statements for Adams county have been mailed out Spring installment of county taxes is due in May and fall payment is due in November. Payments can be made by mall and those who want a return receipt should enclose a stamped and addressed envelope. Payments should be made to Waldo Neal, treasurer, Adams county. „ o ...ho— — It’s a pleasure to drive over the city and observe full view at every railroad crossing. We'd have some semblance of safety now, if we had guarded crossings which school children use as main crossings. Parents, who fear for the safety of their children at railroads are urged to join in the crusade against unguarded crossings. —-—... .... . —i—o o— — Ice fishing is over for fisher-“ men of northern Indiana unless you go farther north and want to gamble with thin ice. It’s been a rather spitty season with very few big Catches reported. This usually means a good spring and summer season and already the fishermen are getting their summer tackle ready. Spring isn’t too far away. O 0 — It soon will be golf time in Decatur and the new owner of Decatur’s fine public course, Everett “Chic" Monroe, already has Started plans for an early opening and lots of activity at the local course. The coming season promises jnumerous tourneys and league play, all of which goes to make the interest higher. Indications are the local course soon will be ready for its most successful season in history. ——o o Failure to give state aid to payment of teachers salaries can mean but one thing, an increase in local tax rates. Every school city in Indiana will be compelled to increase its rate to take up the slack in wages knocked out by a cut in state assistance. It looks like the teachers, who have fought long for some small gains were getting the "labor treatment” from the G.O.P. leaders.

It’s pleasing to note in the news that the Parlor Fakir, successor to the Street Fakir, has finally come to the attention of a federal investigating body. 0 o The biggest thjng the 1957 General Assembly has done so far is that the House and Senate each has passed a different time bill. Isn’t that a great record for grown men to bring to their constituents after two thirds of the session has passed into history? »-—o o One of the most disastrous sessions of the Indiana General As- I sembly, as far as just ordinary people are concerned, is drawing to a close. We might suggest that to conserve office space in the State House, Mr. Handley could surrender his office and divide his time between the state chamber of commerce office and the rooms occupied by the Indiana manufacturers* association. Certainly the laborer, farmer and teacher won’t have occasion to visit him. . o o— — Decatur retailers have been asked by the retail committee of . the Chamber of Commerce to subscribe to and aid financially in an organized plan including several feature trading days, all prescribed to make shopping attractive in Decatur. It is a splendid program and should and no doubt will receive the support of every progressive merchant. Robert Lane, president of the retail group has worked hard with his committee in laying preliminary plans for the biggest trading year in Decatur. With a little cooperation, Decatur will retain its status as the "best place to shop in northern Indiana. o——o Everybody in the county is rooting for the Hartford township Gorillas in their coming contest with Fort Wayne South and we know the Adams county entry will give a good accounting of itself, come next Saturday. The Hartford basketeers, played consistently good basketball and staved off numerous rallies by their opponents. Basketball is a great teacher for fans and players. It is a great game and while fans get almost uncontrollable at time, the frenzy soon dies down and we accept the final score as final. Every Adams county fan will be cheering and hoping for our entry to beat South Side and then go on to the Regional title.

They kept their Jobs as long as they felt like it When they failed to get along with any of the officers, they moved on. Consequently their attitude was one of equality with men and officers alike and they recognized no rank. They were specialists. highly trained, and so vital to the welfare of the troops that they were indispensable. They knew it, and so did the officers.

He dipped his pen again and wrote, ”1 love you. We have so little time in one short life, it’s wrong for us to be apart. Think of me often, Lib." He laid the letter away, not sure he was right in putting his feelings down on paper that way. He stepped outside for a breath of air, deciding he would leave it. He gripped the rail, staring at the sky with its thin moon and the stars that guttered with a brightness he had never seen in St Louis. Was she thinking of him ? In spite of himself, he could not forget that Alvin Stiner might be with her at this very moment “Good evening, Lieutenant,” a woman said. He made a slow turn, knowing it was Mrs. Randall before he looked at her. He had seen her only a few times since he had come aboard at St Louis, but it was not a voice a man would , ever forget once he had heard it . soft and expressive and filled with i a melody he had never noticed in any other woman’s voice. He said, “Good evening, Mrs. Randall.” She stood close to him, the thin Ught on her face. She was young, , probably no older than Chad, and • breath-takingly beautiful.

She said, "You are in love, aren’t you, lieutenant?" “How did you know?” She laughed softly. “It’s something a woman Seels. There are so many kinds of love. Like the play love our scout Cubberly has for Alice McQueen. And your kind, which ties so deeply inside you that it frightens you and cannot ever be really expressed in words.” She paused, turning ner face from him. “And there’s the cruel, possessive love that takes and takes and Is never fully satisfied.” Colonel Randall came toward them along the deck, calling, "Isabella.” ‘Tm coming, darling. 1 just stepped out for a stroll.” Chad would have gone to his cabin if Randall hadn’t said, “1 want to se you a minute, Lieuten- _ ant, as soon as I escort my wife to her cabin." Randall returned, breathing hard. He was a tall well-built man in his early forties, a little pompous with his Dundreary whiskers that fluttered in the night breeze. Chad could smell the whisky on'his breath, even here with the wind touching them, a weak man who was afraid he would lose, something he had never really possessed. “1 wanted to clarify our situation, Lieutenant,” Randall gripped the rail, peering at Chad in the darkness. “We are the only two officers witi\ seventy men. We must work together, you and L or we'll fail, and that is something I’m sure neither of us wants.” "No, sir,” Chad said. “I would have preferred to leave my wife in St Louis, but she insisted on coming. 1 realize I am prejudiced, but to my eyes she is very beautiful.” He stopped, picking his words carefully. “I just wanted to say that . well W . v a He couldn’t quite lower himself to admit he did not trust his wife. Chad said, "Perhaps you haven’t heard, sir, but I’m engaged to General Tipton’s daughter. Leaving her was the hardest thing 1 ever had to do." * Randall laid a hand on Chad’s shoulder. "Thank you, Lieutenant.” He left then, and Chad stared at his back Until he disappeared in the darkness. (To Ba Continued) d by .King Features Syndicate. J

Distribute Signs, Name Is Omitted Fifteen boys of the Zion Lutheran church spent considerable time Sunday afternoon distributing some 500 doorknob signs in the west sections of Decatur Which extended an invitation to attend Lenten services at the church.

SYNOPSIS Lieutenant Chad Endicott, a Civil War veteran, is irked when he is ordered from St- Louis to establish an Army post in hostile Dakota Territory. For he must leave his fiancee, 'Elizabeth Tipton. daughter of General Tipton. and postpone their marriage for at least a year Before he leaves. Chad warns Alvin Stiner. a wealthy trader and his rival for Elizabeth, to respect their engagement or he will kill him when he returns. Myra, tunloving wife of Major Otto Grunwald. Is tn love with Stiner. and. although she knows he prefers Elizabeth, helps him plot against Chad. Meanwhile. Chad sails up the treacherous Missouri river with an infantry company commanded by Colonel Randall, who Is bringing his beautiful Spanish wife. Isabella Chad doubts Randall's ability as a leader. As the river boat makes Its way slowly upriver to Indian territory. Zack Cubberly. a weather-beaten scout for the Army, tells Chad what to expect from the warlike Sioux. CHAPTER 7 ALVIN STINER did not see Elizabeth tor more than a month after Chad Endicott left St. Louis on the Molly McClain. He was out of town on a business trip to Omaha part of that time. Now that winter had made its last futile gesture, wagon trams were moving westward to supply the army posts on the plains. This was a large portion of Stiner’s business, and he fulfilled each contract with meticulous care. The Indian trade furnished ample opportunities to double the profit he was entitled to make, but he had been careful in ms dealings with the army, so careful that he actually lost money on some contracts. That, more than anything else, was the reason he had General Tipton’s complete confidence. Myra had been right tn saying be didn’t have the slightest idea what it was like to love someone the way Elizabeth 'and Ohad loved each other, but he had a very good idea how Elizabeth would react if he started pushing his case the Instant Chad was gone. He would be a friend, a gentle and unselfish friend. It was part of his plan to remain completely away from the Tiptons until Elizabeth had adjusted herself. She was young and filled with too much energy to remain listlessly at home. If Stiner read her correctly, the time would come when she would be glad to get away from the four walls ot her home, to have someone to talk to who knew Chad. Stiner had learned long ago that the easy things a man wanted could be bought with money.

Maine City Scraps Oyer Bus Services Councilmen Refuse Parochial Service AUGUSTA, Maine (W — T h e Board of Education tossed an explosive dispute over buses for parochial school children back to the city government today and made preliminary plans for handling 900 more children in the public school system.. Education Chairman Charles E. Bickford told the board's regular meeting Monday night that the bus service question is “not our baby" and said "it’s up to the city government to decide" if public transportation will be provided for the parochial schools. Mayor Lloyd H. Carey, Catholic mayor of the state’s capital city, immediately announced a special meeting of the councilmen and aidermen for Wednesday night to —Mil ■ i i—■M—llilMß I *

The cheap women in the Red Candle; men from the water front who were excellent marksmen with either steel blade or pistol. But Stiner had reached the point where the easy things were not enough. He wanted his own house instead of the rooms he occupied on Garrison Avenue, a wife and children. And more than anything else, he wanted to be welcomed on every level of society. Elizabeth, better than any other young woman tn St. Louis, fitted his requirements for a wife. Near the end of May he called at the Tipton house. When Nero opened the door, he asked, "Is the General in?" "No. suh,” Nero said. "The General probably won’t be home for an hour. Will you come in %nd wait ?” Stiner hesitated, then asked, "Is Miss Elizabeth home? I would like to speak with her if she is.” “She’s In her room," Nero said. ”I’ll call her.” Stiner waited in the hall. Elizabeth appeared at the head ot the stairs, calling, "Why, Alvin, this is a pleasant surprise.” She start? ed to run down the stairs, out stopped when Stiner held up a hand. He said, "Stand there, Elizabeth, right where you are.” She was wearing a light summer dress of blue organdie with pink roses on the flounces, and just as she had started down the stairs he had glimpsed her slender legs and trim ankles. By sneer coincidence, she stopped where the sunlight, falling through a stained-glass window tn' the west wall, laid its myriad colors upon her so that she gave the startling effect of being part of a rainbow. “What is it, Alvin?” she asked. He took a deep breath. “You’re' beautiful, Elizabeth, as beautiful as a fairy floating to earth on a rainbow.” He laughed. “Come on down. 1 just had to stop you there and. take a long look." He saw that she was both pleased and a little flustered by what he had said. When she reached the hall, she said, “Thank you, AJvin. That was a nice thing to say.” He took her arm and, turning her, pointed to where the sunlight fell on the wall. "That’s where you were. You see why I thought you were floating down a rainbow.” ... She drew away from him, and he knew he had made a mistake

deal with the problem. The Board of Education declined jurisdictlc.i in the matter after Carey presented "ultimatum petitions" signed by the parents of 600 of the'city’s parochial school children. The petitions warn that the Catholic students will descend on the public schools next Monday if public transportation is not provided for them by then. Public bus service for parochial schools was approved by j 2to 1 vote inan advisory referendum at the city’s election last December. But the city’s councilmen and Aidermen refused to provide the service.

Do you know if he’ll be busy tonight?” •Tm sure he isn’t/’ she said. "I’ll drop in around eight,” he ' said, "If you think it will be all right.” "He’d be delighted, Alvin. He was saying the other day he hadn’t seen you since the night we had the party for Chad.” "I’ve been out of town.” He turned to the door and paused. “Have you heard from Chad?” She nodded. ”1 was just reading a letter from him. 1 mean, re-reading It for the twentieth time. He had written to me every day, just another page or two, you know, telling about the things he sees, and all. By the time they threw off a mall sack at Omaha, it had become quite lengthy." "He’s well, 1 hope.” "He was when he wrote.” She hesitated, worry pinching her face. “Os course they hadn’t reached' the Indian country. Do you think there’s any danger, Alvin? They don’t have a fort to go to. They've got to build everything.” “I wish 1 could tell you there was no danger,” he said finally, “but 1 know the Sioux. The amount of river travel we’re going to have this summer will J bother them. Anything can happen. But Chad knew that. A man who joins the army is not afraid of dinger.” “But I am,” she breathed. "For him. You’d think I’d get used to it, after four years of war.” "No,” he said. “A woman never gets used to danger when It ! concerns the man she loves.” i She gave him a small smile. “You’re very kind, Alvin — and understanding. Most men aren’t ! Even Daddy gets impatient with ; me. He says danger is part of soldiering and Chad’s a good sol- | diter.’' | “Which isn’t much comfort, is it?" he said. "Well, I have to go. j Will you tell the General I’ll drop by tonight?” “Os course." He left then, quite satisfied with the way it had gone. He wondered if the feeling he had for . her was love. The thought trou- j bled him, for be never trusted ; emotion. j (To Be Continued)
