Adams county sailed through last week-end without a highway fatality and without a major crime being reported. We have a well policed and usually orderly community, which speaks well for all of our enforcement officers. —o—o — We are sorry to hear of the sickness of two good friends and two staunch Democrats, Dick Boch and W. P. Robinson. Both have been long time workers in the Democratic party and wonderful Decatur citizens. Their hundreds of friends wish for each of them a speedy recovery and many more years of useful and active service. o—o Some county highways are still in the process of being repaired since the long winter and wet spring. When a detour sign is posted, it is your duty as a good citizen to observe it. You may have to drive a few miles out of your way, but you also are assurred that soon the repair work will be completed both to your future convenience and benefit and also, to everyone else's. ——o—o—— Man is a strange critter. If you are robbed of the use of an arm or leg through injury or operation, you think you wouldn’t have a complaint in toe world if you could just get toe use of the limb back. The minute you show the least bit of improvement, you start clamoring for full use and immediately start believing that everyone is against you. The truth is that Nature is wonderful but a slow worker and often complete recovery is years away. Don’t become impatient. Hhve faith. While local, township and county budgets are not prepared for publication for some time yet, this is a good time at year to observe our units of government and make up our mind if the various units are being operated efficiently and economically. If you are not satisfied with your present tax rates, you will have plenty of opportunity to register your protest. A single protest is rather useless, so talk the matter of taxes over with your neighbors.

Value of building permits throughout the nation reached a new high in April, 1956. It astounded both the business world and toe building trades. The news was accepted as the greatest single omen of continued prosperity. Locally builders have not reported a slump, which is evidenced by toe number of new homes under construction, but the national picture has been rather pessimistic. Average increase in toe United States is recorded at a more than 12 percent gain, Dun and Bradstreet reports. o'o Mrs. Dan Tyndall, local Welcome Wagon hostess, has returned from the tenth annual state convention of that organization. Mrs. Tyndall visits all new residents in Decatur, new mothers, eiigaged couples and others and presents gifts from local members as a gesture of good will. The local organization, through Mrs. Tyndall’s effort has become one of the finest in the state. Each year it grows in sponsorship and it has become one of toe finest methods of calling attention to newcomers of toe wares of the various retail stores. Mrs. Tyndall, with her assistant, Mrs. Robert Macklin, has done an excellent Job. o——o Dan Cupid has tjen shooting some bullets at the Daily Democrat editoral department and has caused us to make some new temporary arrangements in our constant cl'fqgi to bf ing our readers the newsTfdiss Marlene Laurent, staff reporter was married last Saturday and will be absent from her desk for the next three months. Miss Gwen Hilyard, society reporter will be married June 1 and she will be away for ten days.

The Daily Democrat will strive every day to give you the latest local state and national news and we are sure the rearrangement of staff members will add strength to this policy. ■— 1 " *

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL A Call for Doctor

’ CHAPTER 17 P [ROUGH sheer dread of it, Grady Barton’s imagination built up the police court session to such an extent that the actual event seemed like an anticlimax. For Mo Chronister showed up the next morning, sober and seemingly regretful. Yes, ne conceded readily, he had been drunk. And yes, sure, he'd side-swiped the doctor's car. "Those things nappen, you know. Judge? Didn’t you ever get your buggy wheels tangled up with another guy’s, cornin’ home from a dance?” The Judge cackled in admission of his own youthful folly. Mo gracefully paid, ms fine, cracked a few more jokes, wittily and charmingly with the clerk—then he turned to Grady, his nand out- ■ stretched. At the minute. Grady's hands were busy with the scarf which he was adjusting. ••It’s all right. Mo." he said almost indifferently. “Tvs been living in a big city, where one automatically calls the police in the event of an accident.” Now he smiled and extended his band. Somewhat warily, Mo took it As •Grady went around him and down the stair* to the street Mo Chronister stood looking at the hand which Grady had shaken —when he wanted to. But, for all of Mo’s charm that morning, and his gracious acceptance of the penalty for his tolly, Grady was well aware that he now had two enemies tn the Hollies. The doctor went on from the courtroom to make a house call and then he conducted morning office hours, with a continuing sense of failure tn the back of his mind. A really tactful man could keep clear of these personal conflicts, he rebuked himself. And a doctor had better be tactful! The matter was still a dark cloud upon his mental horizon when Grady walked downtown after lunch to go to the bank and attend to other small errands. tn his preoccupation, he would have passed Oren Kopp without seeing him, but the burly man caught at his arm. “Hey, Doc!" he cried in his rasping voice. “Got a minute?” Grady moved to the buildingside of the pavement. "Certainly. What can I do for you ?" His question was evidently not Just what Kopp had expected. He fumbled briefly, then came out with, "Thought you might want to know about the kid." "Os course. How’s he doing?" Kopp, he decided, looked better in hiS working clothes of Jeans and lined denim Jacket than he did In a cheap store suit. If not cheap, it was at least ill-fitting.

easily upon ms shaggy head. The kid,” he was telling, "still has a little cold." "Has he gone home to Detroit?" asked Grady, knowing better, but ne had been hoping that another doctor called in would nave passed upon his diagnosis. and Kopp’a "Naw, he’s still with us. His folks decided be shouldn't be taken out, with bis cold and aU.” T see." Grady’s eyes went beyond Kopp to the people who passed along the sidewalk, to the cars in the street and to the minister in a red Mackinaw, with a shotgun on his shoulder and a setter dog at bis heels. A smile flicked.about bis lips. T ain’t got a lot of time,” said Kopp loudly. “Gotta drive forty mile this evening to Jack up a man on a mortgage payment They hunt you up when they want to borra the money, but I got to run 'em down to get my eamin's back. Guess you know how that is. Doc." "I’m afraid not,” said Grady courteously., T wondered. Doc,” said Kopp, bls small eyes searching Grady’s face, “if—sence the kid ain’t choked to death yet on the grain o' corn you thought - he’d swallowed, maybe you’d be willin’ to give me a perscription for some cough medicine?" Grady shook bis bead. "I'd not prescribe without seeing the child again—and 1 am sure that I’d still advise you to take him to Madison tor examination." As he spoke, he braced himself against the anger to be expected at his persistence, but a glance showed a conciliatory smile upon Kopp’s face. "Now, listen. Doc," he said with a show of reasonableness, "you could be wrong, couldn’t you?” “Yes," said Grady at once. "1 surely could be. The examination at Madison might prove that, but I’ll say that Td much rather have ft prove me wrong, than you" Now the anger rose to the surface, nasty and sneering. “D’you know what I think about you, Doc?" "I’d be interested.” "1 think you’re too big for your britches, young man! You think you’re real smart because you worked in the city. You think country folks don’t know nuthin! Well, I think you’d a-better stayed in the city—you had no right to come here to work." "Mr. Kopp," said Grady, as patient as a man could be. T shouldn’t have to remind you that you were one of the men here tn the Hollies who particularly asked me to come to your community I and practice." rt Reprinted qy permisiton of the put istributcd by King Features Syndicate.

> “I know I was," said Kopp, i heavily. "Ana there, Doc, I’ll grant you, 1 made a big mistake!" Grady’s face remained impas- ; sively cou teous and interested, i "How is the child?" be asked in a firm voice. Kopp frowned. “Oh, like I say, i he has a cold—wheezy, you know, i Guess there's nuthin to worry about. But maybe some medicine would let him sleep a little easier. • It's bung on tor a long time." i "You say his parents have been here?? "Yeah. A week ago." "Weren’t they worried about him?" “Ah, no! They know kids get colds—and like 1 say, they’s nuthin to worry about.” Grady stepped back to regard this man—as lumbering and awkward as a black bear, his mean little eyes, his strength which was that of muscle and bluster and insult. Months ago, Grady bad thought he would like to fight Oren Kopp. Now he knew differently. His gloved fingers tipped his i hat. “I hope you are right," he ’ . said quietly, and he walked firmi ly down the street. Kopp, he was thinking, bad all the components • of an old-time melodrama villain, i He foreclosed mortgages and neglected children and—yes!—and ; abused bis wife. Grady did not I smile. In deciding what made up I a villain, those old-time play- • wrights had known what to portray. 9 9 9I During the afternoon, the day • grew colder. By nine o'clock that i night a man. snug tn his warm ’ home, could rightly grumble at a ' phone call that might take him , out into the frosty pight Grady so grumbled when he got up to I answer his ringing telephone. i It was Pearl calling, and at the : sound of her voice the doctor’s i back straightened, and his head went up alertly.

He’s chokin’ —and he looks bad!” “Pearl . . ." “You can’t let him die, Doc!" She was sobbing. No, Grady could not let a child die. He'd go out, and once there, he would make the necessary decisions.

Volunteers Aid In Erecting Flagpole Community Help In Flagpole At Center A lot of community cooperation went Into the raising of the flagpole recently at the army reserve training center north of Decatur on the Monmouth Road. A pole was needed for the flagraising ceremonies of the county's new military unit. Service Battery, 424th Field Artillery Battalion. Capt. William Gernand, commanding officer of the battery, contacted Russ Smitley to see what it would cost to weld a pole from used pipe. Smitley remembered seeing an old flood-lamp pole at Bob Workinger's filling station, and suggested that Gernand contact Workinger. A check with Workinger brought forth the information the pole belonged to the Texaco company. Gernand then called the Fort Wayne Texaco office, and they* stated that if Workinger had no need for the pole it was all right with them for Service Battery to have it. Russ Smitley'then repaired the pole free of charge for the local unit, and furnished anchor bolts for it. Yost Construction company, Decatur Ready-Mix, and the Decatur Lumber company furnished the materials for the base. The men of Service Battery then erected the pole. This work, all of it donated* by interested persons in the Decatur area, was necessary before the flag-raising ceremonies officially opening the training center took place last Saturday. Asks Restoration Os Soil Bank Program Assails House Cut Os Authorization WASHINGTON ffl — President Eisenhower told Republican legislative leaders today that House action,on the soil bank would prevent “a fair test” of the program. Last week, the House cut a 500 million dollar authorization from the soil bank bill. This would make it impossible for the government to continue soil bank payments into the 1958 crop year. Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland said that at today’s weekly meeting with GOP congressional leaders the President urged the Senate to restore the 500 million dollar authorization and give the emergency program "a fair chance to work." Rep. Leslie Arends (R-Ill.) told newsmen he believes the House soil bank action was a "serious mistake.” He said he hopes the Senate will reverse it. Knowland and Arends told reporters there was no discussion today of taxes or the overall budget. Decatur Woman Hurt In Jay County Wreck Mrs. Jennie Kiefer, 79.

Removal Os Tariff Barriers Suggested Gary Manufacturer Suggests Removal GARY W — A Gary manufacturer told a House committee studying foreign aid that he wants tariff barriers removed to allow overseas firms to compete with him in the American market. R. Paul Ireland, president of the EDL Co., which makes motion picture developing and printing equipment, appeared Monday at a hearing of the Subcommittee on International Organization and Movements of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Ireland was one of 42 witnesses representing seven nationality groups which appeared at the one-day hearing on American attitudes on foreign aid. “1 do not fear foreign competition,” Ireland said, “and competition is healthy and should be encouraged. This would help people help themselves.”' But George W. Hulbert, a Gary lawyer and Republican, said “Uncle Sam should abandon the role of Santa Claus." He said future aid should be on a loan basis. Hulbert said he agrees with Sen. Herman Talmadge (D-Ga.) who said the budget can be reduced five billion dollars. Subcommittee chairman A.S.J. Carnahan (D-Mo.) said there were five basic points to remember in relation to foreign aid: 1. Most of the people of the world live ih Asia. ' 2. Most of the people of the world are not white. 3. Most of the people of the world are undernourished.
