The Daily Democrat received an anonymous letter concerning dogs this week. Our policy always has been not to publish these unsigned letters, on the premise that most unsigned letters are a form of hoax. If the writer of the “dog" letter cares to sign the letter, this newspaper will be glad to print it in full. /. ■ , o " o - The Chicago Federal Reserve bank discloses that spending by Indiana consumers and business men, based on checks drawn at local banks showed a six percent increase this year compared with the first quarter of 1956.

Do you know that all the Cancer Society workers are volunteers without a penny of remuneration and all are working for you. The money is used for research and education, with a firm belief that we are nearing that time when most cases of cancer will be cured. It is a most worthy cause. Send your contribution to Don Bieberich, Cancer Society treasurer, care of First State Bank. o o ' General Electric has dressed up its annual financial report with photographs and a very vivid picture of what people may expect from electric appliances of the future. It is a most interesting book and it emphasizes the importance of the many electrical appliances in every-day living. The Annual statement is printed, in readable style to show the financial status of the great industry. It is truly a splendid substitute for the usual uninteresting annual report and certainly is in line with the G. E. policy of ''progress.”

Are you planning ad Easter holiday motor trip? If so, please observe the rules of the highway and live to enjoy more holiday trips. *' —o o— Central Soya executives have announced their annual spring opportunity conference for college students of this area on April 20 at the Van Ormafi hotel in Fort Wayne. AU coUege students who reside in the Decatur-Fort Wayne area are invited to hear Dr. Glenn Cunningham, famous athlete. Following the Cunningham address. Soya executives will outline the various opportunities available to college graduates in industry. The meeting always is interesting and informative and is of great benefit to those college men and women who have not yet selected their future field of work. ' O- -O - A recent national survey revealed the startling fact that many homes are insured and their furnishings are not insured. If the fire is bad enough to only partly destroy a house, certainly the furnishings will be damaged almost beyond repair by smoke, water and flames. Insurance on household furnishings is cheap for the protection you get, and even if the furniture is old, it has a value. If you are one of those home owners who has failed to insure your household contents, you should see your insurance man at once. You’ll surely sleep better. — —- — o More than fifty-one million persons under 40 years of age have had at least one polio shot. This leaves about fifty-eight million of our citizens in the under forty age without the Salk protection. In another six weeks, all of the available vaccine will be used for children and this large group of older polio possibilities will have to wait and gamble. You can get polio shots right now and for the little bit it will cost you, it is well worth the precaution. We don’t like the price which some of the grasping doctors charge and we don’t think it’s fair to capitalize on a “must”, but be that as it may, for your own sake you’should arrange to get the shots soon.

CHAPTER 33 A DULL gray morning in early April brought to Chad Endicott his first real problem of command. He was making a late morning visit to see the men who were sick. Corpora) Dtckmson greeted him at the doorway of the low-ceilinged, dark bui'dlng that housed the men on the sick list. “Morning, sir. Ready for inspection.” Chad stood storing down at the sick men. trying to. think of something cheerful, something hopeful, to tell them. Then Zack Cubberiy raced tn through the doorway and yelled, “God a’mighty. Lootinant, come a-run-nin’.” He wheeled and ran out of the sickroom, Chad a step behind him. Zack headed for the mess halt As they approached the long, low building with its iron triangle hanging by the door, Chad could hear what appeared to be a violent commotion going on inside. Zack jerked the door open and lunged into the room, Chad behind him. They were greeted by a scene of turmoil and destruction. Mess tobies had been overturned. a giant iron kettle which had apparently contained stew was lying on its side, the contents running out on the rough plank floor, and men were milling around in all directions. When Sergeant Anderson saw Chad, he dutifully yelled, “Attent but his voice was lost in the pandemonium. As Chad rammed his way toward the end of the mess hail, he saw that four or five men were trying to hold another soldier down on nis back. Arms and legs were so mixed up that it was impossible to tell the number of participants, or what they were trying to accomplish. Beyond the men on the floor, in a back comer, was one of the cooks, brandishing two enormous knives threateningly at naif a dosi-n men attempting to dose in on him. The cook let out a scream and leaped at the men facing him. slashing wildly with his knives. One of the soldiers caught a blade squarely across the shoulder end his uniform opened as if by magic, blood gushing from the wound. The other men threw themselves on the screaming, struggling cook ano brought him down, arms and legs threshing wildly. Chad had a look at nis face just as he went down and he was sure the man was completely insane, tn a moment, the mess n hail was relatively quiet. The cook was breathing so hard that his inh all ng s and exnaltogs sounded like a hoarse moan. “All right, men.” Chud said Sin-ply. "What happened?"

Smallest Church? HUDSON, Mass — «F) — Rev. Louis West says his church here is the smallest in the world. Reverend West, living in semi-retire-ment as a Baptist minister, built the church which is five feet wide and 11 feet long. Four persons can be seated.

Corporal Tolliver tucked to his blouse and mopped back his hair with a quick, nervous gesture. He was one of those who had just overpowered the cook. He said, “Cookie went off his rocker, sir. 1 think we’d better lock him up for a while. He's gonna hurt somebody." “What started it?" Chad demanded. “Well, sir, Duncan here said somethin' 'bout the grub." Tolliver pointed at the man the others had pinioned to the floor, when Chad had entered. “Then what?” "Dunno. sir. It just started a ruckus. Got to yellin’ at each other and Cookie threw a ladle of stew at Duncan and Duncan hit him to the face with his mess kit Then Cookie went for his knives and then some of us jumped in and tried to keep 'em from killin' each other.” Chad swung around to Sergeant Anderson. “Get this man some ’medical attention." He pointed to the soldier who had been cut by the knife and was now standing quietly with ms arm hanging limply at his side. “Then lock Ridgely up.” Chad nodded at the cook, who was still pinned to the floor. “Lock Duncan up, too. When 1 get ready to see them, Til tell you Tolliver, get hold of Mullvane. I want the men mustered at once." Chad turned sliarply on his heel and strode out of the mess hall. He went directly to his office and, slamming th® door behind him, crossed the small, dingy room and sat down at his desk. By the time Mullvane knocked, Chad’s mind was made up. Mullvane saluted, and said, "The men are ready, sir." “Thanks, Sergeant, I’ll be right out," Chad said. When he stepped outside, the men were drawn up on the little square that waa called the Parade Ground. As Chad approached, Mullvane bellowed, “Tenshun!" and the men stiffened, chins up. shoulders squared. Mullvane saluted smartly and said, “Company's ready, sir.” Chad returned the salute. He said, “Teh the men to stand at ease, Sergeant." The tines of man loosened up. Chad folded his hands behind him. and stood with his legs apart, his thoughts turning briefly to Randall. When the Colonel was a'livc, he could be blamed for anything that went wrong. Now there was no one except Chad Endicott. “What I have to say won't take 10-g," Chad said, "but 1 want you to know 1 mean every word of' it A little while ago we had a scene in the mess hail. Wc will not have another demonstration of that kind at Fort Butterfield. 1 am perfectly aware of

the conditions under which we live. 1 don't like them, either. The food is bad, but 1 nave to eat it, too. It’s all we have. And no matter what the reason is for the situation, tt can't be helped now. We’ve had a rough winter and it's not over, but it will be, and we’ll make it. to the meantime. we're going z to act like soldiers, every man of us." Chad turned to Mullvane. “Sergeant, these men will remain in formation. You and Sergeant Anderson 1 will hang first . Demean and then Ridgely to that post by their wrists, and you will find a strong man who will give them fifteen lashes. This will be carried out immediately.” Mullvane, his face expressionless, said evenly, "Yes, sir,” “That's all, Mullvane.” “Yes, sir.” Mullvane skluted, and Chad returned il Chad went back to his office and dropped into the chair behind his desk. Before him were several papers bearing the printed heading, “Monthly Report” Wearily he picked one up and began to work. He studied the form for a few minutes, then he dipped hia pen in the ink and began to write, slowly, in a column headed "Record of Events." “Seven men ill with scurvy. Food supplies running low. No target practice held. Ammunition inadequate. No unusual occurrences. Routine matters only." Outside, he heard a resounding thwack, and then another, thwack, whack, whack. Presently the noise of the strap stopped. Duncan was probably being cut down. Ridgely would be next In a few moments the sound started again. Thwack, thwack, thwackChad tensed again, and when the noise stopped he slumped down in his chair. < How he hated Randall for his disciplinary attempts! How he had* mentally railed at Randall when the Colonel launched into one of his speeches about “soldiering”! Chad had often told himself that such things were well and good at some sleepy post along the Atlantic—but out here, under these conditions, with the men scurvy-ridden and starving, no. Yet here he was, filling Ran- , dall’s shoes. Randall, even to his drunken moments, had talked about responsibility and its burdens. Well, Chad had them now. It was his company, and he was the commanding officer. Lieutenant Endicott folded hie arms, put his head down, and cried. v "■ Chad doesn’t know tt, but ' his sweetheart. Elizabeth, is nearing tumultuous tones, too. Read about her tomorrow to Chapter 31.
