Most Adams county ground is so water-soaked that it will take some time before it is dry enough to be worked, according to farmers of this area. o o — zßig crowds continue to visit local retail stores, day and night and evidently shoppers are realizing that Decatur is the place in northern Indiana to shop. ——o——o— — Seems like we can't get rid of the spring rains, but our Community can be thankful that we haven’t had the tornadoes and tremendous downpours which have plagued other sections of the country. O ■ O — Another week-end is here and with it will be heavy traffic. Early road work is in progress in many parts of Indiana and if you’re planning a motor trip, it would be wise to contact a state police officer to learn about detours. Nothing can be mode exasperating than to be scheduled for some place and to drive on to a detour sign. 1 o , ... o- ■ — K ,...

You'll get a sufprise. o——o The annual spring influx of peddlers, selling all types of items and gadgets, most of which could be purchased at half the price in local stores, has started.

case coming up your walk, it’s a good time to not answer the door. Most of these house-to-house salesmen are fakirs with inferior items which they offer at many ' times the market value. If you don’t watch out, they’ll take you. o oFirst of the major appropriation bills, totalling some three billion dollars, has been passed by Congress and sent to the President. The first measure represents a cut of more than eighty million dollars from the original requests. If this pattern is followed it indicates that we will have a reduction in taxes in 1958. Let’s all hope that the “cutting spree” of Congress will reflect all the way down to local units. We can have lower taxes all the way around if more people become interested in how our tax dollars are being spent. o o This is a gay time for upperclass students of both Decatur high schools, with dances, parties and then graduation exercises coming along. It is especially of interest to members of the twq Senior classes because their high school days are numbered. Both schools maintain high scholastic standards and the graduates have been well prepared to face the knocks and thrills of life. A large majority of the young men and women will continue their studies in colleges and Universities throughout the nation. Whatever they do and wherever they go, they belong to Decatur and we’re proud of all of them. They will represent one of the finest Communities in the nation and we know they will fit well into the pattern of their future avocations, whatever they may be.

While this' was unusual, there was nothing improper about it. Q. Would it be all right for my fiance and me, and another couple to spend a weekend in a resort hotel? A.

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL--A Call for Doctor

CHAPTER 15 nrHE day after Christmas, 1 Grady Barton was depressed and worried. It showed in his face, though he exerted every effort to keep his voice and manner free of his mood. I After he had eaten his lunch and made a couple of house calls, he decided that he had a free hour before office hours and would do well to get some exercise in the open air. ... As had become his habit, he cut across the side street to the Cowan yard and whistled for Candy. The dog came lumbering, an ecstatic grin above his whiskers. The day was clear and cold, and in the direct sun the snow was dissolving into watery sponge. Grady struck off toward the hills, the dog ahead of him, wooflng and sniffing in a fine imitation of a hunting dog. Grady glanced at his watch, ready to follow his usual practice of walking for half the time available and allowing the rest for the return trip. He was disappointed that June Cowan had not popped out of the house. Soon little ice balls weighted Candy's whiskers, and he came twice to his friend to have a ball of snow dug from his foot pads. "Really rugged, you are!” Grady laughed. Candy licked his face, then with a yip of recognition and a wild waving of tail and ears, be bounded away toward a distant red figure—Grady followed him as gladly, If not so swiftly. “A lady needs a little time to get into her snowsuit,” June informed him when he came within hearing. “You two just ran out on me!” "You could have waved your hand from your tower window.” She glanced up, laughing. "So I could. What’d I do? Get here in time for the return trip?” “Within five minutes,” said Grady, warmly pleased that his habit had become familiar to this girl. She looked half her age in that red suit and cap: her cheeks were scarlet, curls peeked from the tight hood, and her eyes were sparkling blue. She regarded him as critically. "I don’t think,” he was saying, "that I properly made my manners on lei Wing your house yesterday, June. But I do want you to know how much I appreciated being asked for Christmas dinner. And of course I was sorry to be called away.” She nodded, her eyes still intent on his face. "Is something worrying you, Grady?” For a minute he didn’t answer her, and she walked along beside him, not speaking further.

“I’m not much of a poker player,” he said then. "I don’t suppose I could help you, but —* Her mitten lay upon his coat sleeve. ’Td do what I could.” He paused, standing for a minute to gaze out across the hills and the fields —at the snow and the trees. Then, without looking at his watch, he touched June's elbow and they turned back toward town. Candy close at their heels. “ “Maybe you can help me, June,” he said slowly. “You're right—l do have a problem. And while of course it is not my custom to disctips cases, I find that I need some light thrown on the personalities concerned in this particular case.” Then, concisely, impersonally, much as he might have stated a case to a class of medical students, he told of the problem which had arisen Hie night before. He described the Kopp grandchild, the symptoms, voiced his own opinion that there was some foreign body obstructing the bronchi, and he detailed the signs of a developing infection: he told of the family diagnosis of croup. Finally he stated his professional position. *1 don’t feel that I should accept a lay diagnosis and act upon it,, but of course there is that baby—completely dependent upon the judgment—and the mistakes —of its elders.” ' "No wonder you’re worried!” cried June. “Kopp is a character! He’s ignorant, and he’s mean!" "Yes. Yes, he is. And if I had him alone to deal with, I'd let his ignorance finish hlm«off. But what should 1 do about that baby? Not two years old— and helpless." She was warmly sympathetic. Grady was definitely in a spot! And she was sensible. "Could it be croup, Grady?” y He looked at her, then nodded. "Yes. It could be." "You specifically told him what you thought should be done?” "Oh, yes!” "But you’re helpless tq make him do what you advised?” He nodded, his eyes watchful. "Well, then—since you’re hopeless of being able to do anything about your own diagnosis, maybe we’d better just hope awful hard that they’re right and that you’re wrong.” "If hoping fs all Pm asked to do," he agreed, "I couldn’t treat that child for croup, Pm afraid.” "You won’t get a chance, will you?” "No. Kopp assured me of that But June, at least half of this

worry-load I'm carrying is regret that 1 should have made a personal enemy so soon.” "Oh, Kopp!” "You called him ignorant and mean, and that combination makes a dangerous enemy. But—if I could have my druthers, I’d rather not have enemies of any kind here in the Hollies. I’d like to be able to stay here arid do good work and have people like me.” "But, goodness, Grady ..." **l should have handled things differently. Yes.” •1 don’t see how you could. In this case.” “Well, I couldn’t see either, at the time. But I should have, just the same, because now —” He lifted his shoulders in a shrug. “Can Kopp hurt you, Grady? I mean, he can’t drive you away, can he?” "I don’t know. He said something about the same men being able to get rid of me as brought me here. And just mayM he’s right in that.” “They wouldn’t!” “But we don’t know, June! They must have some way to get rid of a’ doctor should he turn out to be unethical or of bad moral character —they’d have to be protected." Her pretty face was thoughtful They walked for a hundred yards, automatically skirting the puddles. By then they had reached the edge of town and the corner where it would be "handiest" to part and go their separate ways. For another minute they stood at this point before Grady said. "’Bye, and thanks — it always helps to talk to you.” Through Pearl, Grady was ablet to keep close tab on the-baby. The big blonde girl came in almost daily to clean for Grady and had earlier established the habit of reporting to the doctor on the health an<f general behavior of the children for whom she “sat" As early as the day after Christmas, she said, she had been called out to Kopp’s to stay with a grandchild who had a cold, and the grandmother wasn’t well enough to attend him day and bight without some relief. "Is he getting any better?” Grady asked Pearl. 'The baby isn’t doin’ much good, Doc,” she said. "He’s still all choked up and don’t eat good . . * Doctor Barton tangles fenders with an unfriendly rival as Chapter Id continues to> morrow ta this newspaper. j
