Today could well ba called Handley weather—a big blow. O' — Cigaret smoking again has been linked—definitely to lung cancer as a cause. These revelations so far, have failed to impress many people, who continue to indulge. Perhaps more proof is needed but thousands of deaths are an expensive way to prove a point. American people are strange and will continue to smoke until they get positive proof, g —o o Basketball in Indiana has hung up its shoes and the sports in- , terests have yielded to baseball, track and other spring sports. The results of the state high school tourney will be discussed and the games will be replayed by the up-town coaches for many months. It is Indiana's top winter sport and for the last several weeks, all you had to do to get an argument in any diner, filling station or cross-roads grocery was to mention basketball. o—o- — We’re heading into the final days of the annual Red Cross drite. American people often times are strange actors. We’ll contribute to a dozen or two causes of foreign aid and we’ll hesitate to support an organization like the Red Cross which stands ready to assist all of us, throughout the world in time of distress or tragedy. The Red Cross is both a local and world helper. Color and creed have no place in this great humanitarian „ organization. Won’t you join today? o o - Mr. and Mrs. John Welch of Decatur have every reason to be mighty proud parents. Miss Ellen Welch defeated the district competition in the Rotary Inter—national annual oratorical contest and will continue in the regional meet at Michigan City on April 1. Two dozen interested Decatur people, including students from Decatur high school and adults made the trip last Friday night to Angola. Such honors are fast becoming as important to a school and a community as are athletic honors. Miss Welch, a--senior honor student has now demonstrated her ability in three contests and has brought honor to her school and her city. Again we say, congratulations!

He has officiated in baseball, basketball and football games for many years. In his high school days, he was a star athlete. As a citizen, Strick is one of toe finest and ips poljcy of honesty and fair play has gained a state-wide reputation for toe Decatur man. His weekends are booked solidly for football and basketball games. His selection to work a state finals game is not only a distinct honor for “Strick,” but also for his school and his community. —o—o•— With its never ending and relentless visits, death has'claimed JohnMagley, prominent and respected citizen of Root township.

In early life, he was a school teacher and later a school bus driver, but most of his years were devoted to farming. Mr. Magley was always interested in the affairs of Adams county and especially his home township. A devoted husband and father, he served well as toe paternal head of his family. We join his many neighbors and friends in offering sympathy and condolence to his wife and fine family and we know that all of us who in his life shared his friendship, will have gained a lot to cherish after he is gone.

What is considered toe proper length of time between the announcement of an engagement and the wedding? A. There is no definite rule, depending naturally upon circumstances. Usually, the maximum is six months, and if a couple anticipates a greater length of time, they will postpone the announcement of their engagement until they are fairly certain of the date of their marriage. Q. When cake is served and no forks are provided, how should one eat it? . A. Break ft into individual pieces, much as you would a slice of bread or a bun, and convey it to your mouth with the fingers. Q. When a man is assisting a woman out of an automobile, should he take her hand or her elbow? A. He should assist her by placing a hand under her elbow. n — — — ■ o Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE O o Cleaning Chenille To wash chenille articles, first soak in cold water, then squeeze, but don’t wring.

CHAPTER 17 TIE fear that had been in Chad a moment ago was over, for nowthe burden of responsibility began weighing upon him. He could not afford a mistake, any more than Zack could. He judged that Arbuthnot was too stupid to recognize a mistake when he made one. Chad motioned to a small knoll to his right. ’’We’ll wait yonder, but regardless of what happens, there will be no firing unless I give the order.” He pinned his gaze on Mullvane's red face. Chad turned to watch the commissioners, who had sat down with Cut Lip and Big-Belly-on-a-Horse and a number of other Indians. They were passing around the traditional stone pipe, while the traders, who had mo'Ved some distance away, were surrounded by another group of Indians. As far as Chad could tell, the talk was going smoothly enough. Now, for the first time, it struck him that this meeting was of great importance. The entire relationship between the Sioux and the whites here in Dakota had reached the point where it was bound to boil up into bloodshed unless an agreement was reached. Chad had no idea what Arbuthnot had to offer, and he had no confidence tn the man, but-there was a chance. He licked dry lips and stole a glance at Mullvane. He saw the beads of sweat that made a bright shine on the sergeant’s red face. Waiting was as much of a strain on Mullvane as it was on him. Zack had moved so that he stood directly behind Mullvane. A sudden explosion of excitement broke out among the traders who had been swapping their wares for pelts. The traders waved their arms at the Indians and began shouting loud complaints. “What’s the row about, Zack?” Chad called. “The Injuns are helpin’ theirselves to more’n the traders want to give ’em," Zack laid. < The excitement spread, and now the commissioners seemed- to be in an argument with the chiefs. Zack swore as the whites began working back in the direction of the Last Chance, dragging their boxes of gifts with them. The Indians were in no mood to let them go. They started pulling at the presents.

This waa it, Chad thought. Arbuthnot had let the parley get out of hand. As the commissioners came even with Chad, he saw the fright on their faces. Even Arbuthnot was close to panic. Chad glanced along the line of soldiers; he saw the strain, the uncertainty on their faces. He said, “Guns on ready.” The commissioners and traders had retreated to the left of the soldiers and somewhat behind. Now that Cut Lip stood only a few feet away, Chad saw the wickedness that was in the man. Long braids hung down his chest; his features were rough and ugly, One side of his mouth, drawn down into a perpetual grimace by an old scar. Cut Lip said something, one hand gripping the handle of a butcher knife encased in a shiny leather scabbard. Zack called to Cut Lip in Sioux. The chief stopped and glared at him, then made vindictive gestures toward the commissioners. Several shots rang out and Chad flatlined himself on the grass beside Mullvane, pulling his hand gun as he fell. "Esisy,” Zack called, as unconcerned as if he were in a shooting gallery in St. Louis. “MXillvane, you squeeze off a shot and I’ll blow a piece of, your backbone into your belly." The main body of Indians was moving toward Cut Lip and Big-Belly-on-a-Horse, several of them jumping and yelling and discharging their rifles into the air. Zack walked toward Cut Lip. He spoke to the chief in the Sioux tongue, and then said something to Big-Belly-on-a-Horse. The Indians retreated a few yards and sat down with Zack. They began to smoke, very dignified and grave, Zack acting as if he had all the time in the world. At last the leisurely chat between Zack and the two chiefs was over. The scout rose (Mid called to Chad, "Fetch them commissioners over here. Have thfc men cart out the presents. The Injuns want to look the goods over a leetle more.” For the first time since he had known Zack, Chad saw none of the friendly, quizzical expression which habitually dominated his dark face. Chad hesitated enough to make Zack say in a low tone, “These Injuns means business. Get a leg on now.” Chad swung toward Mullvane.

Britain Hopeful Os Strike Settlements Strikers Reported As Eager To Settie LONDON twP> — Hopes were high today that Britain will be able soon to "buy its way out" of the strikes that have pulled a million men away from their jobs, but no one was sure bow serious their final impact on this country’s shaky economy will be. Unions representing the strikers —200,000 shipyard hands and nearly a million employes of engineering firms—are expected to settle for the same 5 per cent raise that averted a railway strike last week. The strikers, under pressure from wives who opposed the walkout from the start, were reported eager to get back on the job. A wage increase for the shipwrights and engineers is sure to bring demands for similar concessions from other unions, piling additional burdens on an economy plagued by recurrent crises ever since World War 11. Unions representing Britain’s miners, longshoremen, textile workers, electricians and .firemen already have made wage demands, and others are expected to do so if the railwaymen’s raise sets a national pattern. Leaders of the shipyard unions assured Labor Minister lain MacLeod last week that their members will produce more if they are paid more, but it is not yet certain just how this can be worked out. Representatives o f shipyard management met the union leaders today to try to work out a settlement on the lines roughed in by MacLeod. At the same Mme, the labor minister met leaders of the engineering unions in an effort to halt their “snowballing" walkout. The engineering unions have threatened to pull out all of their 2% million members unless their demands are met by a week from Saturday. One phase of the strike—an attempt to tie up the 30-mile canal which links the big industrial city of Manchester with the Mersey River — came to an abrupt end Sunday. The local trades union council ordered canal maintenance men, who are members of the striking engineering unions, to get back on the job. “The men must stay at work,” the council said. “This would have involved thousands of men not connected with engineering.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — they bring results.

"On your feet, Sergeant. Take six men and carry the presents back to the Indians." He jabbed a forefinger at Arbuthnot. "You. Take your friends and go back to the Indians." Arbuthnot obeyed, muttering softly. Mullvane and his men laid the boxes of presents down and stalked back to the knoll. The Indians pounced upon the presents and began waving them around: beads, bolts of bright cloth, copper trinkets. Cut Up, his black eyes glittering, lifted Arbuthnot’s huge gold watch from his pocket Three more Indians took the other commissioners’ watches. Zack said something to Cut Up and held a hand up to his ear. Cut Up put the watch to his ear and nodded his head and laughed, pleased. The Indians moved back toward their tepees. Zack made a quick turnabout. “Head back to the scow. Make tracks. Don’t run and don’t look back!" • • • As soon as they reached the safety ot the boat, the commissioners recovered their dignity. Arbuthnot, his sweeping mustache bristling, said, “Endicott, I have never seen such dereliction of duty. Your conduct and that of your scout is disgraceful. sir, cowardly. I shall report you to General Grant the instant I return to Washington. As for this scout, I shall report the loss of our watches, and I shall see that he never gets another job with the army.” Chad grabbed Arbuthnot by the lapels of his coat and shook him. “I guess your lives weren’t worth your watches, judging by the way you’re talking. Mister, I don't know why we even try to save the lives of the incompeteqt jackasses they send from Washington, but we did, and you’d better tell the truth when you go back." He walked to the other side of the boat. A moment later the • Last Chance let the soldiers off on the north bank of the river and then proceeded upstream toward Fort Blaine. Zack laughed. "You know, Lootinant, Arbuthnot ain’t gonna forgit you.” General Sherman hears - from Randall in tomorrow’s instelinsMt of Silent River.

TEAMSTER tCantAsueo u»m Qua) Beck’s alleged use of Teamster funds for personal investment “highly improper, inexcusable and morally indefensible." Another AFL-CIO vice president, James B. Carey, told another TV audience he thinks Beck’s loans warrant his removal from the Teamsters Union. But he added this would have to be initiated by Teamster members. Carey said the AFL-CIO Executive Council should give the Teamsters Union a chance to "clean its own house" or face expulsion from the AFL-CIO.
