Special emphasis is being placed the next two weeks by the Bost Office department on improvement of rural delivery mail boxes and the campaign will end with an inspection of all boxes. The campaign for correct erection and maintenance is based on the theory that many hours a year can be saved in the delivery of mail if the boxes are kept in good receiving order. About 150 Decatur residents receive their mail through the rural delivery system and the balance of the customers in the system live in strictly rural areas. " 4> O Fourteen yean ago this month, President Roosevelt signed into law the now famous withholding tax system. From a government standpoint it has worked well. A big majority of the people pay their taxes weekly and monthly and have it all paid at the close of the year. It has worked a hardship on those who are compelled to collect the money for the government and in all probability it is one of the causes of free spending. We believe that if we had a permanent tax law, with equitable rates and if the government was forced to stay within this law in its budget making, there would be much less spending. It certainly is worth much serious thought, . O o Dr. N. A. Bixler, Decatur optometrist, received a high honor recently he was named optometrist of the year at the annual state convention held at Indianapolis, and received a bronze plaque. Dr. Bixler served on the State for U years and six of those years was president. He was instrumental in the establishing ol a school of optometry at Indiana University and has dene much to give the profession hifrfc ending in Indiana. The Dpcatur man has devoted many y&rs of his life to the improvement of ethical standards of his profession and his accomplishnjtnts are many. He has been active also in local civic affairs and bfebeen president of the Decatur Literary board for many years. We salute this well known and respected citizen on the high honor accorded him by the association for which he has done so much and worked so tirelessly. i ' .

Decatar Rotary club has completed forty years of service in this community. The Decatur clubs at that time in the smallest city in the world to have a Rotary dub, received its charter in 1917. Avon Burk, one of the principal workers for a Decatur charter was first Rotary President. He is still an active member of the Decatur club. The Decatur Lions dub will join the Rotarians and their guests next Thursday night to help observe the fortieth birthday. Clarence Ziner, district governor and Mr. Burk will be the Decatur members on the birthday program. Rotary here has never had special club projects, but has encouraged its members as individuals, to serve where best fitted in the community. As a result there are many Rotarians in every dvic drive of every type and numerous Rotarians in Church, civic organizations and political undertakings. To Decatur Rotary, we join in saying, Happy Birthday; You have done your work well. ■o i o Many students of taxation are taking the attitude that perhaps the Federal government goes at tax reduction all wrong. They argue that taxes for everybody should be materially reduced and then fit the federal budget into what money is anticipated. This not only would be a very most ethical plan of operation, but the Federal spenders would be limited because of the known possible income and the hard feeling always springing up between the executive, and .legislative.. would, , die a natwsal deltai. If tMs plan t were to be followed, the entire tax structure would have to be changed, but perhaps it is antiquated and needs overhauling. Perhaps the old attitude of “soak the rich just because they have it and then have an excuse to get more from the poor” is all wrong. If the plan of setting the rates first and then levelling the budget into the law so it would fit, there no doubt would be some heated arguments between the government departments, but none which would divide the Congress and President and People. It might be worth a sincere try or at least some thought.

—-FUZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL— A Call for Doctor

CHAPTER 25 DESPITE what the court had said about Grady Barton's not having been guilty of criminal malpractice, town talk was still accusing him of the death of the Kopp grandchild. People were, in effect, calling him a murderer, which perhaps was to be expected from certain people, the ignorant, the uninformed, scattered through the community. But as the days went by he must recognize the growing extent of that talk, and the belief in it And now there was no definite way to defend himself. With no formal charge made, he could not hire a lawyer to present his case, nor could he testify in his own behalf. The townspeople stopped calling him to their homes and did not come to his office. At first he thought this defection was only a gradual letting-up from the spell of winter illness which had kept him so very busy for two weeks there in January. But as more and more appointments were canceled or simply not kept; when for one whole afternoon no one at all sat in his waiting room, Grady must consider what was going on. ■* "If that child had,lived,” his thinking summed up the matter, “I'd have been a hero. But I —he didn’t live.” He was hurt at this injustice, not a unique thing in the history of medical practice, but his for the first time. He gave the town one reason for not accusing him, or discussing the situation with him, because Grady himself retired into a shell of silence which amounted to brusqueness. He wouldn't talk about the matter to anyone. The situation existed, and it was hard to take —but he was determined to act as if nothing was wrong. Until the day came when Oren Kopp, with Mo Chronister as his attorney, clapped on Grady Barton, M.D. a suit for 525,000 damages for the loss of his grandchild’s pleasure and company. That day, Judge Cowan came to see Grady. “I asked Mo if he’d completely blown his cork!" said the elegant gentleman, "and he talked to me of personalities. The gall of him! Telling me that I’d lived in a small town so long that I confused personal consideration with a man's legal rights.” Grady sat in his desk chair, shaking his head. "As if he weren’t being personally vindictive," Judge Cowan fumed. "For all his discourse to me about this being the sort of action a person would take in a large city against a doctor who [ was careless with ethical rules. I I’ll handle your case, of course, | Grady.” . ,

"There can't be much money in the project,” said Grady wryly. "Whether Kopp gets his judgment or not.” “He won’t” "No, I don’t think he will, either, but the talk around town has already hurt me, and this lawsuit may finish me.” “What are you going to do about it?” Grady smiled, then said, “I hope I can hang on for a time. Maybe people will come to look at me and Kopp and Mo as we all really should appear in this. I’m sorry for Kopp, if he really does think I'm responsible for that child's death; he must have loved the baby very much." Judge Cowan looked surprised. "But, Grady," he protested, “a father —leven a grandfather — their grief doesn’t express itself in wanting to hurt someone else. At such times, you beat your own head against the wall or you go into a numb silence. No, it’s guilt or fear or remorse, maybe, that takes this sort of vindictive action. Kopp knows that his own stubbornness cost the child his life, Mo has persuaded him that he can blame you, publicly, and Kopp is agreeing in the hope that it wiU make his own sense of guilt less galling. You know that’s how things are!” “Yes, I know it and you know it. Maybe even Mo knows it But I don’t believe the town knows it enough to help my practice any, Judge.” “Not just now, Tm afraid,” said his friend. Grady thought it would be easier if he could hurry things to a conclusion, but the law moves slowly, and the days were made up of minutes that had to be passed. Soon Grady established a routine by which he lived. He continued to be available in his office at the hours designated in gold leaf upon his front window; he made the house calls on his list and filled the rest of the time as best he was able. His friends all might have been friendly, but Grady gave them little chance. He did continue to attend the Lions Club meetings —on other evenings, he read. What he did first, mistakenly perhaps, but naturally, was to give up singing in the choir. He told June Cowan that he meant to do this, and said he wished to "save the church embarrassment.” "You’re oversensitive, Grady,” protested Judge Cowan. “I have a foolproof system of ( knowing who my friends are." "Some of us aren’t sick." "That’s good.” > "Grady, we brought you here because we needed you—” •Tm here, if I’m needed." How could even an experienced

Berne Church Plans To Build Addition A $600,000 addition of an educational building on two lots adjoining the First Mennonite Church of Berne was announced by that group last week. It will be located south of the present church building. About $510,000 is already on hand or pledged for the new addition. A gift of $219,000 worth of Lincoln Life stock by Mrs. O. F. Gilliom several years ago gave the impetus for the new addition, which will include some improvements to the present entrance. The new addition will include a half basement and one story, connected to the present church by two entrances, with light-wells between the buildings. , I I, I > * .... aaWMßMawawv,'

trial lawyer argue witn sucn a man? He was wrong—mistaken —but he was irrefutably right, too. Meanwhile, Dr. Barton’s oncepromising practice continued to dwindle. He made out bills as they came due, mailed them and without exception was paid in full. Alone in his empty house, the big man rubbed his hands down over his face. He should, he supposed, leave the Hollies. Next month such minimum expenses as food and light and heat would make him draw money from his savings, which were not great in the first place. That would be justified If he thought time would clear up his present difficulty, but'why should It? The Hollies had tried the new doctor, and the people were deciding that they didn’t want Grady Barton. , If Grady left, they’d get someone else in, someone who would not “let a child die.” Grady should—he must—give up the whole project so far as it concerned him as a doctor, and move on. But where and how would he make that move? He could not apply at any other place just now. It would only mean a refusal He must wait until, as Judge Cowan promised, the lawsuit should be dismissed. The judgment refused. He must wait . . . and he guessed he could wait. The next day, Grady got out his car with which he was being economical, and drove over to the Holly Neighbors factory. He knew it well, having been named the factory doctor, though it so happened that his services had not been called for lately, and he, in his thickening shell of protective withdrawal had not yet made this month’s visit of inspection. Today he walked past the glass door marked with the name of his friend, Joe Perry. He hoped Joe was still his friend, but he would, rather not put the matter to the test. In the larger general office, he asked the receptionist if he might see the personnel manager. The girl knew him, and simply pointed her pencil toward the proper door. The factory was a subsidiary of a large manufacturing concern, and their employes were sometimes shifted about. The personnel manager now at Holly Neighbors had come to them three weeks before from the Milwaukee office.- His office door stood half-open, and knocking upon the door frame, Grady went inside.
