It's about 370 days until Christmas, but the weather of the last two days seems to have moved it much closer. M.. 0 .111'11... ■ There is only a mild observance of the ordinances which forbid parking of vehicles on yellow lines. We have called the attention of these violations, especially by delivery trucks, to the people on several occasions. The bad violations, which include driving and parking on the wrong side of the street; permitting motors to run while truck is unattended and Mocking out the view of an Intersection, are most dangerous and we firmly believe that one of these days a bad mishap will occur which will waken us all up. It’s a shame we have to wait for tragedy, which is bound to come sooner or Inter. „ Q Decatur Churches were packed Sunday, which speaks well for opr community and that splendid group of ministers who lead us in our weekly worship. Decatur people are proud of their Churches and the men who guide our destinies. We call on them constantly to help us bear our grief and our troubles. We are glad we have such a fine city of churches and we are glad that we have the ministers we do have to assist us through our daily cares. Decatur is a fine community and the Churches play no small -part in making it such. . O---O- — The invertebrate individuals who wrote the Daily Democrat over the week-end suggesting we change our name and who were too spineless to sign their name are actually not worthy of answers, except we want them to knqpv we are proud of our name. We always have had the courage to state our convictions and still have permitted anyone else who was willing to sign his name the privilege of answering in our voice Os the people column. This qpyntry needs more Democrats and Republicans, with conviction and principle. This hiding behind the theory of “I vote for the man/* gets us poor public officials, irresponsible and without a. program. We suggest that the anonymous letter writers consider changing their name to Joe — Gutless, and friends. We’re satisfied with our name.

We re six days deep into spring and four inches deep in snow. We hope we have now experienced winter's last effort at dominating the weather picture. Spring would make a lot of people most happy. ——o— —o——• Among new Indiana laws, which received little publicity during the recent general assembly were several pertaining to 1 safety. One measure makes at I least a two-day jail sentence mandatory for driving an auto vehicle when your driver's license is under suspension. This ' sentence may be increased to as much as 180 days. Other safety measures include establishment of a division of school traffic safety education in the department of education and places all drivers up to the age of eighteen years on probation, as far as ’ their driver's license is concerned. All Hoosiers will have to take . a driver’s license examination' each* four years. The measures sound rather drastic, but if they will save a single life they will be well worth it. ' o—o— Citizens of Decatur stop in their daily toil to pay tribute to a grand, beloved Decatur man. ' Dr. Roy Archbold, dean of the Decatur dental profession and highly respected and lifelong resident of Decatur died Sunday night at Adams county Memorial .hospital, after a two hour illness following a heart attack. We are incapable of relating Dr. Archbold’s virtues because of his closeness to us and our family. He led a most active civic and fraternal life and for more than fifty years he had practiced dentistry in Decatur. A loyal alumI nus of the University of Michigan, he often attended football games at Ann Arbor and had a great pride in his college and his profession. Mrs. Archbold preceded him in death about two years ago. We extend our sympathy to the two children, Richard T. Archbold, Coldwater» Michigan and Mrs. Phil Byron, Elkhart. We know that nothing b—; '— —■. - ~ - - - which we might say can ease the heartache of death, but we also know that the memory of great and unselfish life he lived will turn today’s tears into never to » be forgotten memories for the family of one of Decatur’s great citizens.

Our Women’s club is having several guest speakers at a meeting soon. Who should greet them when they arrive, and how should they be conducted to their places? A. Ushers should be appointed to meet these people, greet them, and conduct them to the platform or to their places at the table. Q. When giving an Informal dinner, how should the hostess let her guests know the seating arrangement she wishes? A. The hostess should stand at her place, and tell each guest just where he or she should be seated. Q. Should a guest at a wedding thank the usher who leads him or her to the proper pew in the church? A. If the usher happens to be a friend, you may say “thank you” in a low voice. Otherwise, a nod and an appreciative glance are enough. n ■ ■ —— - - n Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE O ♦ Grease on Leather Grease spots can be removed from leather furniture by a cloth wrung out of warm soapsuds.

CHAPTER 18 "THE Red Nymph was the last A boat downriver from Fort Blaine. There was a lengthy dispatch in the Fort Butterfield mail bag from Colonel Randall to General Sherman. He read the last paragraph twice. As you know, General, it is not uncommon /or a man going into battle to have a premonition of disaster, tn away we are going into battle. This dispatch will go down the Missouri on the last boat. When you receive it, the river will be frozen, our slow but sole avenue of communication with you completely blocked. Here we are, a handful of soldiers surrounded by hostiles and a naked land. If the savages do not get us, the winter surely will. We can expect no help from Fort Blaine. The traders there would like nothing better than to see us murdered and our post wiped out. They frankly tell ws that our presence this far up the river has made the Indians uneasy and has seriously hampered their trading. I can understand their attitude. On the other hand, I cannot understand the attitude of a penny-pinching Congress and a selfish and ungrateful public that insists we keep the river open so the wealth from the Montana mines can move downstream in order that the rich may become still richer. I need more men and better arms, and most of all, horses. I can think of nothing more futile than to ask foot soldiers to fight Indians who are always well mounted. I have a strong feeling that none of us will be alive next spring when the river breaks up. If we are not, I can at least hope that our deaths will force a change in .the nations Indian policy. Perhaps I will be remembered as the officer who built Fort Butterfield and who died when it was destroyed. Respectfully submitted, Benjamin K. Randall, Brevet Colonel, Fifteenth Infantry. , Randall had said nothing about the Peace Commission and its fiasco. He had not mentioned Chad Endicott or the scout, Zack Cubberly. Sherman had listened to Arbuthnot’s complaints, but he wished Randall had given the other side of the story. There was much in what Randal] had to say about a penny? pinching Congress and an un? • T a

grateful public, but there was nothing new about Randall’s situation. He had known that when he’d begged for the assignment Sherman had no sympathy for him. But Cl ad Endicott. . . and the seventy men under Randall. Sherman thought of Elizabeth Tipton. She would certainly have received a letter from Chad. The General left his office. He stepped into a carriage and gave the address of the Tipton residence, his mind on the Indian problem. A sufficiently large force of mount- 1 ed men, armed with the new Henry sixteen - shot repeaters, , could make the plains safe for whites in less than a year. Therein lay the stupidity of the ; whole business. The Bureau of Indian Affairs had money to buy presents for savages and to hire . men like Arbuthnot; but the army, cut down to a skeleton force and a skeleton budget, could not send enough soldiers to man a frontier post When the carriage reached the Tipton house, Elizabeth opendl the door. "General Sherman!” she exclaimed, surprised when she saw who it was. "Come in.” He stepped into the hall. "How is your father?” he asked. "Father isn’t well, General," : she said. “He’s been in bed for . a week. Come on upstairs to his : room. He’ll be awfully glad to ! see you." , “Elizabeth, I’m going to ask < you a question which is none of : my business,” Sherman said slow- • ly, “and if you don’t want to tell ; me, just coijie out and say so. I i know Lieutenant Endicott quite i well. But I don’t need to tell you what I think of him. I was wont dering if yqu’ve had a letter from r him recently." “Yes. One came today.” She : hesitated. Sherman said quickly, “You can tell me what I want to know. Did he say anything about some Indian trouble that involved a peace commission?” She nodded. "He said it was a little touchy for a while, and they owed their lives to the scout. He said he told one of the commissioners after it was over that he he was an incompetent jackass. It won’t hurt Chad's career, will it?" “If I can arrange it, I’ll see that he’s promoted to captain next year on the basis of what you just told me." He cleared his throat “Did he indicate any con-

cem about getting through the winter ?" * “No." He followed her up the stairs to Tipton’s room. "General Sherman’s here. Father.’’ Tipton was propped up in bed, reading. Pleasure showed on his gaunt face as he held out his hand. "Well, this is fine. What ever brought you out on a day like this, General?” Sherman shook his hand and pulled up a chair. "Just thought, iTd find out why you liked your bed so well.” "I'm lasy." Tipton laughed, "Just hound-dog lazy.” Sherman looked around and ’saw Elizabeth had gone. “You • know, Tip, that girl of yours is a dandy. Endicott should have married her before he left last i spring.” "She wanted to," Tipton said, “but Chad’s kind of funny. I know how he feels, though. Felt the same way myself when I was a pup; but when you get older, you find out that life’s so short you regret every day or hour that you weren’t with your woman when you had a chance.” ’ ' Sherman nodded, looking At Tipton’# parchment - like skin pulled tightly over the bones of his face. i "I’ll see that Elizabeth is on the first boat that goes up the river next spring.” "She'll want to go.” Tipton tapped his book with a bony fist, frowning. “After Chad left last spring, Alvin Stiner dropped in one evening and told me he loved Elizabeth but he wouldn't mention it to her as long as chad was alive. She was moping around the house like a weeping widow and I persuaded her to go out with Alvin once in a while. Just for a buggy drive or Sunday dinner. Last month he took her to the opening of the St. Louis Opera House on Fifth Street." "You’re wrong, Tip," Sherman said quietly. “I suppose Stiner is all right, but he isn’t the man Endicott is. Right now, I wish Endicott was in command instead of Randall.” He held out his , hand. "I’ve got to go, Tip. Don’t think you have to get back on the job until you feel like it.” Randall gets some unpleasant news of the Indians in * Chapter 19 of Silent River, here Monday.

Dulles Feels UN Force To Stay In East Secretary Os State Feels U.N. Should Stay In Mid-East WASHINGTON (UP)-Secretary of Stat* John Foster Dulles said in effect today that the United Nations Emergency Force should remain' in the Middle East despite Egypt’s objections until there is assurance hostilities will not be renewed. He also said chances of peace would be improved if Israel would permit U.N. forces to be stationed on her side of the armistice line. Israel is flatly opposed to this. Egyptian sources have hinted that Egypt will not permit the U.N. Emergency Force to stay in territory under its control unless U.N. troops also are stationed in Israel. But Dulles told a news conference he does not believe Egypt has any power to withdraw arbitrarily consent it has given previi ously to stationing U.N. forces in I her territory until the U.N. mis- > sion is completed. ' He added that since there is no assurance that hostilities will not be renewed it is possible to say i the mandate of the U.N. force has i not been exhausted. k In other news conference developments, Dulles: —Said consideration is being given to seeking an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on whether ships of all nations have the right of innocent passage through the Straits of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba. In the past Egypt has blockaded Israeli shipping in the waters. —Alternative plans for by-pass-ing the Suez Canal by new pipeline and tankers are now in process. —Warned Communist China that it would be foolish for her to use violence in accomplishing her goals. Dulles said the free nations around Red China have been strengthened in the past year and it would be a mistake for Communist China to rely on her former methods. He conceded, however, that Red China’s own military power is increasing. Dulles devoted much of his news conference to the Middle East. He said the United States is not getting reports directly from U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold on his talks with Egyptian leaders in Cairo. But he said this country is getting an inkling of wlwt’s being, discussed from the ' Egyptians and from, the U.S. ambassador there. Asked if he is hopeful about the outcome, Dulles replied that he believes there are grounds for cautious optimism. Montgomery Ward Co.
