Today is a good time to get your polio shot and protect yourself from the probability of acquiring the disease. If you wait until summer, much of the serum for the vaccine shots will be saved for children and you may have to wait another year to be immunized. —0 0 First returns from the Easter Seals sales campaign, sponsored by the Adams county Society for Crippled Children are indeed gratifying. The Adams county group sponsors the summer speech clinic here and also provides some much needed hospital equipment, which may be "used when needed by all patients. Let us all hope that the first week of the sale is only a starter and that every citizen buys some of the attractive little stamps. —o o— —• Our neighbors to the north in the state of Michigan apparently like the kind of government meted out in Democratic fashion to all the people and have given Gov. Williams a vote of confidence, by electing many Os his off-year election slate, this week in a general state election. The five-times, popular Governor of Michigan, always has followed a policy of giving file same good government to people on both sides of the tracks. The policy has paid off well and should continue to. A goveronr of any state who believe that he is everybody's governor, generally gains the confidence and respect of every citizen of his state. o o— — Decatur's fine city parks, with picnicking and children’s playground facilities, are being readied for the heavy spring and summer traffic.

CHAPTER 25 AFTER the Christmas dinner,’ Isabella Randall turned her chair toward the fire, then stooped and laid several chunks of cottonwood on the low flames. She said, "Let’s sit here, Chad." For a moment Chad Endicott could not take his eyes from her. She stood facing him, a sad but lovely woman. Chad wondered, as he had many times since he had first seen her, why she had married Colonel Randall. Chad placed his chair beside hers, a sudden wariness in him. He was afraid to stay here, afraid of himself. He heard the steady, gargling sound of the Colonel’s breathing in the next room. •Tell me about your sweetheart, Chad,” Isabella said. Sc he told her about Elizabeth, about Christmas a year ago, about their plans. As he talked, the wariness left him, for he was remembering things iong forgotten. little things like the inflection of Elizabeth’s voice and the

sound of her laughter. When he stopped speaking, Isabella , murmured, “She must be a wonderful girl." She brought her gaze to Chad’s face. Tell her you love her after you're married. Tell her over and over until you think she must be tired of hearing it, but she won’t be. Believe me, Chad, she won’t be.” She turned her head to stare at the fire. T know the questions that are in your mind. You’re too courteous to ask them, but I’ll answer them anyway. I married the Colonel when 1 was sixteen. He was twice my age, but he was handsome and I loved him. Age was not anything to worry about I met him tn New Orleans, in fifty-six The year Buchanan was elected President. There was talk about war even then, but we didn’t take it seriously.” She shook her head. "I’ve lived with him a little over ten years. I know him, Chad. 1 know his vanity, his jealousy, his fits of temper, his need to be bolstered by me. I know all his weaknesses and his one great asset You know it, too. His appearance. Dignity. A talent for impressing Kle. He’s used it to get where i.” Her hands were folded on her lap. “He drinks because he’s afraid of fidlure. Afraid he’ll do the wrong thing. We were in Washington from Bull Run to Appomattpx All that time he kept talking about getting into the field, but he never really wanted it He didn’t waht to Come up here. He had to appear brave by asking for this assignment, but he was surprised when he got it”

birthday reminder might cause greater pain than solace. It would be better if, on occasion, you went to see your friend’s mother. Q. Our daughter has just informed us of her secret marriage two months ago. Would it be proper for us to announce the marriage at this time? A. It would be quite proper for you to mail out announcements of the marriage. Q. Should a dinner guest who has finished eating immediately place his napkin on the table? A. Not until his hostess had placed her napkin on the table. Girl Scout News Girl Scout troop 5 held a meeting April 2 at the Lincoln school. We worked on our badges. Each group of girls took turns discussing badge work. Treat was given by Sally Hahn.

She threw out her hands in a gesture of futility. “Oh, I don’t know, Chad. Maybe he did want to come here. Maybe he thought he could prove his courage to himself. And to all of you. But he never will." She laid a hand on his arm. "Forgive me for talking the way 1 have, but sometimes 1 think I’m going crazy, cooped up this way inside the stockade. No one to talk to. The Colonel just sitting and looking at me.” Her fingers tightened on his arm. “Chad, will you let me have a horse to go riding? Just a little way. I wouldn’t go far.” Tm sorry,” he told her. “1 couldn’t We don't know how many Indians are around, but they’re watching us all the time.” "Please, Chad. I’ve just got to get outside the stockade.” “Ask the Colonel.” She shook her head. "I couldn’t” Chad rose. "I’ve got to go. Thank you for the dinner.” •Thank me with a horse. Please. It would mean so much to me.”

"I’m sorry. I can’t” He took his overcoat down from a peg beside the door and put it on. Then he turned to Isabella. She was standing as if she were frozen, her eyes on her sea chest, her face filled with outrage. He looked down at the chest, puzzled; then he saw the halfsmoked cigar that lay on the lid. Reaching down, he lifted the cigar and threw it into the fireplace. There, on the smooth and shiny surface, was an ugly, charred scar. Randall most have left the cigar there before he sat down at the table. A little thing, but in Isabella’s mind it was magnified until it must have seemed the end of everything. She whirled toward the fireplace, giving Chad her back. He walked to her. The devil with Randall. He’d give Isabella her horse. He’d send an orderly to ride with her. Young Saunders could be depended on not to press himself upon her. "I’ll see that you get a horse In the morning,” he said. “At nine.” He left the house, closing the door behind him. • • • Precisely at nine o’clock the next morning, Isabella Randall appeared at the stable. "You said to be here at nine,” she told Chad, smiling at him. “We've saddled a bay mare for you,”- Chad said. “She's not real-' ly a saddle horse, but she's gentle.” "I’m thankful to have even an

We will not take out Fort Wayne firehouse trip April 18 as planned because we Jiave school that day. We will meet outdoors again this Friday. Scribe: Candy Johnson Troop 28 met at the home of Mrs. Heller, Thursday after school. We said the pledge and the Brownie promise. We had roll call, then we decorated Easter eggs. We closed with the Brownie arch. Scribe: Sharon Mcßride. Brownie troop 7 met Tuesday after school. We opened the meeting with the Brownie promise, Then we sang "Make New Friends.” New officers are president, Carol Krugh; treasurer, Nancy Braden, and scribe, Carla Seiling. The roll was called and the dues were collected. Mrs. Reynolds could not be with us because she is ill. We all hope she wilL get well real soon. Mrs. Reed treated us with cookies.

old plug’ to ride,” she said. Saunders led the mare and a brown gelding from the stable, and Chad helped Isabella into the sidesaddle. He wanted to ask her if her husband knew she was going and decided against it. “bon't go far,” he said. If anything happens, the Colonel will have my hide.” ‘Thank you, Chad," Isabella said. “It’s a poor word, but 1 think you understand.” He watched them ride through the gate, Saunders stiff and awkward in the saddle, Isabella grapeful and relaxed and making a startling contrast with the plodding, heavy-boned mare that she rods. Chad returned to his quarters. thinking he would have liked to take a ride with Isabella. That, he told himself, would fix everything with Randall. He had just finished cleaning his revolver when Zack Cubberly came in without knocking. "Howdy, Lootinant,“ he said as he sprawled on Chad’s bunk. "Gittin’ ready for war?” • Just getting ready, in case of war.”

“You’d best be ready,” Zack grunted, “ ’cause you’re shore hankerin’ after trouble.” “What have 1 done now ?” “Less’n my eyes went back on me, 1 seen Mrs. Randall and young Saunders high-tailin’ it out’n the place on hossback. Don’t rec Non you know nuthin’ ’bout that?” Deliberately Chad put the gun down. “Yes, I know something about it. Mrs. Randall insisted that I give her a horse. She said she was going crazy, cooped up inside the fort like she’s been.” “Jest what’d the Cunnel say about her gallivantin' around?” “He doesn't know about it.” “Don’t know about it?” Zack shouted. "What kind o’ fool talk you givin’ me ? Supposin’ she gets picked up by a Sioux huntin’ party ?’’ Chad struck the table with his fist. “We don’t have many Indians around. You told me yourself.” Zack sat up. He shouted, "I can’t seem to bang it into nobody’s head that we don’t know how many Injuns are around here. I don’t see ’em and you don’t see ’em, but that don’t prove Cut Lip’s whole band ain’t jest over the hill.” He was more upset than Chad had seen him for a long time. Chad stared at his revolver, knowing he had made a terrible mistake. The Colonel’s Lady Is due to get an Unexpected slap in the face. Read Chapter 26 tomorrow.

Miss Claramae Turner In Concert Here Monday

* «" MVS . . x x i' J kJ-' * Claramae Turner Miss Claramae Turner, one of America’s top contraltos, will entertain members of the Adams county civic music association in the association's final concert Monday at 8 p.m. at the Decatur Youth and Community Center. Following the concert will be a reception in honor of Miss Turner. The reception, to be held at the Community Center, is open to all members of the association. Just as the world admires America for her industrial know-how, the world bl music honors Claramae Turner — undisputed ‘AllAmerican Contralto" —for her uniquely versatile artistry. The magentic star, who won continual acclaim at the Metropolitan, frequent punctuates her busy recital tour schedule with appearances on coast-to-coast radio and television shows. Producers are very aware of her tremendous popular appeal. Just as often, however, she is called on by the nation’s most discerning conductors to sing with their orchestras. Sheer musical ability is, what counts in such instances. And both of these attributes conspire to win her an amazing variety of important opertic engagements across the land. The stage being virtually the natural habitat of this beautiful singing actress from the start of her fabulous career, success invariably attends her annual pilgrimages to the nation's most illustrious houses. For instance, her current musical year began with the San Francisco Opera Company and the Chicago Lyric! Theatre. From successive triumphs there she embarked on the transcontinental tour that brings her to this city. And she will be here again soon, but not in person, in the Twentieth Century-Fox version of Car- 1 ousel. In the Rodgers & Hammerstein hit the blond and beautiful Miss Turner portrays Cousin Nettie —a character far from her glamorous self. But this was no trick at all for the versatile mistress of 75 major operatic roles. Miss Turner already was a favorite in her native California when a brief New York visit some years ago brought her an embarrassment of good fortune in the form of simultaneous contract offers from the Metropolitan Apera and Broadway. She chose the Diamond Horseshoe, but not before creating the title role in Gian-Carlo Menotti’s now classic opera-in-English, The Medium. Miss Turner’s Madame Flora was one of the great achievements of the lyric stage, ahd she rarely assembles a program without including the unforgettable Monologue from this Menottl work. . And her performances in Carmen, Aida, Salome, Samson and Delilah. II Trovatore and other standard repertory operas continue to be a living legend in the world of the lyric stage. Arturo Toscanini himself chose her for his broadcast production of Un Batfo in Maschera —a historic event that is now among the treasurers of the RCA Victor catalogue. To enumerate Miss Turner’s re-

cital conquests would be to recall every destination in her crowded Itineraries these past several seasons. She has sung in all 48 of the United States, uniformly earning superlatives from critics and real gfhetinri of them having promptly booked her for a re-engagement. " And no wonder, tor she delights in winning the heart by purely musical means. A leading role in opera or oratorio, a challenging solo appearance with symphony orchestra, a recital before listeners of any degree of sophistication — no matter what her challenge, Claramae Turner addresses herself to it with a charming and sovereign personality that befits the reigning contralto of our time.
