Rains haven't been happy events for the farmers of this area, but they certainly have been a glorious ' boon to flowers and plants. Spring flowers arc at their best now and you should enjoy a tour around Decatur and the outlying area to see the yards and gardens. ■ o ' -O’— 1 Use of the municipal swimming pool this first week of the season has been the highest in its history and if the constant use grows, Decatur will soon need another and perhaps larger pool. Swimming always has been a popular summer sport, but first week attendance at the local pool has brought to everyone’s attention the need for another pool. o o— General national business appears in a slump. Whether it will continue, of course is uncertain. Many manufacturers say the layoffs are caused by changing models, over production and a seasonal let-down. It isn't a pleasant thing to go through whatever the cause and let’s continue to hope that it is really seasonal and not the beginning of a permanent decline. o . o — The Senate has given a lot of the budget back to the President and may restore still more, after the House had done a remarkable job of trimming. Indications are that the budget in its final form will still be lower than the huge t amount asked for. There is no doubt much more could be saved, that is if politics and friends didn’t enter the picture. At least it has made the people budget minded and tax minded and let’s aB. hope that itpeOacta in local and county budgets when they are presented in a few weeks. —o—- - will be received next week for the construction of a sewage treatment and garbage disposal plant for the city of Decatur.

ful bidder will hive to have a sharp pencil and shave down dose to the estimate. Work on the project has to start soon so Decatur can take advantage of the 8250,000 federal grant to be used in construction. 0 o — Baek in the days of the Model T Ford and the silent movies, is when the Class of 1917 graduated from Decatur high school. Those days will be relived next Sunday at the Youth and Community Center when the "old timers’’ hold their fortieth anniversary. Several former teachers of that period also will be on hand to look over the 1917 class and also be looked over. It will be a grand occasion, and no doubt will linger forever as a high spot in the life of all who attend. i o o - State excise police are starting to bear down on tavern keepers and clubs, who permit any form of gambling. They have received orders to clean up the gambling in all forms. During the last several months, slot machines, barred for several years, have started to appear again in clubs and some taverns of the state. Officials have let it be known emphatically that gambling will not be tolerated and excise officers will get additional state aid if local authorities continue to wink their eyes at violations. o o — Miss Virginia Cravens, former Decatur high school English instructor will be honored at a reception at the Youth and Community Center next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Miss Cravens, who resides > Washington county, will be here to attend the fortieth anniversary of the Decatur high school class of 1917. She has been retired for several years, but enjoys good health. The highly respected teacher, beloved by all of hr former pupils will attend the reception from three o’clock until five o’clock, following the 1917 class reunion, and all of her friends and former pupils are invited to attend.

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL A Call for Doctor
CHAPTER 30 EARLY March had shown little promise of spring; frosty meadows and brown hillsides gave way reluctantly to grass slowly turning green; th* lilacs put out a few cautious leaves and the npple trees were only faintly dappled with pale green and pink. The maples were a haze of halfopen buds. But then, on the last days of the month, heat came suddenly; the temperature climbed into the seventies, and spring opened her arms wide to smother the countryside with blossom* Within a day's time, the maple trees showed leaves two inches across, and the apple trees became giant bouquet* This miracle of color and growth came to its fragrant climax on a Saturday, anft Grady Barton, factory worker, could pick up June and Candy and go for a walk out toward the woods. During the winter they’d followed the same path a dozen times, noticed and commented upon. But on that warm spring day, it happened to to* Oren Kopp who met them, passed them and looked back at them. Then, he went on into town to speak acidly of Judge Cowan's girl and that doctor—a married man and all—carryin’ on together. He dropped his words like soaked seeds inte various fertile places, and the next day, after church, someone asked June about it This person happened to be Virginia Spencer, June's best friend ever since their childhood. “People are talking, honey. I thought you should know." June hung up her choir robe and took oft the square black cap, shook out her hair. "I wish they'd let Grady alone." “But darling, it's just—he la a married man, and—Were you walking hand in hand with him?” “Maybf. 1 don’t know. You walk hand in tupid with Henry sometime* 'fve seen you, down on th* beach." “Henry is not a married man." “Neither to Grady.” Virginia gasped. “Why, June/” June’s cheeks were scarlet Virginia remembered that afterward, and the way she refused to say anything, but, “He isn’t married. • I know him better than anyone, and he—isn't—married!” She stalked out, leaving Virginia to shake her head in concern for her friend. Os course Grady Barton was married; that had been known since before he ever came to the Hollies, and now—even if he was getting a divorce, or something—or had got one—June should be a little care- . - L-'. ■ ‘

a member of the wedding party. The maid of honor is an unmarried friend of the bride. Is my fiance supposed to escort her home after the reception? A. Not at aU. His duty is toward you. . Q. Is a hostess supposed to wait until all her guests have finished eating before beginning to remove the plates from the table? A. Usually, yes. However, if one of her guests is exceedingly slow, it would be all right for her to begin removing the plates of the other guests. Q. Is a man ever privileged to remain seated while being introduced? A. No; he should always rise, regardless of whether the other person is a man or woman. Peppy Peppers Karyl Kipfer presided at Wednesday’s meeting of the Peppy Peppers club, held at the Election school. Judy Bercot led the pledges for the 19 members present, each of whom answered roll call by giv-
June, on her part, tilted her chin and decided that she would take n* notice of gossip. She should have said nothing to Virgin!* Now people would go about discussing whether he was married or not. And if not, why did he say that he was? Why, indeed? When Grady heard of the story which Kopp was telling—much embellished, of course, by Wednesday of the next week—discouragement swept over him with renewed force. He could not drag June into the mess he’d made of his life! Her father knew the truth; June had his ring—worn secretly. But if this sort of thing could touch a girl Ilk* that, he’d better leave to avoid further danger to her. Now he must give in and go! To avoid hurting her, he must make immediate plans to leave the Hollie* This was the end! But like other blows which had seemed final, he was to discover that this one was not And then begin to wonder how much a man could take. That same week a baby broke her leg. The distraught parents brought the child to Grady’s boardinghouse—and he must hand her back to her mother. “I can’t help you," Big-eyed, the woman searched his face. "W*’d pay you. Doc.” He closed bis own eyes to pain. “‘lt isn’t that Juat now, I am not legally permitted to help you." He tried to explain, he gave explicit directions for their handling the child, and he did fasten a splint of roiled newspaper to the soft little limb—but then he sent the puzzled a*F somewhat indignant parents off to Elmore. There were other calls, too; but a doctor with his license restrained must stand back, fold his hands behind him and do nothing. It was very hard. It was hard to walk past “his house" and to see his clinic dark and unused. It was hard to know that the town needed a doctor, needed him. Surely if they could get another man, they would. It struck Grady that he might even be standing in the way of that solution of the town’s need. So that night, after supper, he came back to his room and wrote a long letter to Stanley Tomyanovlc in Chicago. He had acted on impulse, so when he went put again to mail the letter, he decided that he’d better go around past Reddens’ house and talk to his friend about the D. P. doctor. It was only 3:30.

Mr. Frank and Miss Nellie would be still watching TV. They were. Miss Nellie cozy la a quilted robe and son ahp- g pers, tor which she apologized. Grady ate popcorn and visited with the two old folks tor a halthour, then ne talked to them about his triend. He told what sort of person "Tommy" was; I he outlined the difficulties which . a D.P. doctor faced tn establishing himself in America. He told of the national requirements, and those which individual states demanded. He told what Tommy had done toward meeting those requirements; he'd passed the examinations, he’d started citizenship proceedings . . . “But the nearest he's come to practicing medicine is the job 1 helped him get m the instrument mom in the hospital where I 1 Worked before coming here. Now pve written this letter to him, thinking he might come here and help out— certainly while I’m restricted. “Tommy's a good doctor, sir, and has a pleasant personality. Td be here to nelp him—l don’t mean professionally, but to know UM people, and the. people to know him.** “How can I help?" asked Mr. Seddens keenly. “Back me up, sir. Indorse his application for a locum license. Speak in Tommy's behalf here in town should any question arise." “Do you expect him to use your Office ?’* “That would be up to the committee. And of course dependent upon that locum license from the state society. But at least, he’d be here tn town—and the town desperately needs a doctor." “But what about you. Barton ?" asked Mr. Seddens, somewhat brusquely. Grady looked up in surprise. "Oh, dl go on working at the factory. They pay good wages, you know. I’ll do that until, as I hope, I win that lawsuit and get my license back.” His jaw tightened as he spoke. "It's Chronister, behind Kopp, Who is flghUng you. You know that?” “I know he’s fighting me. But, Mr. Seddens, hy isn’t the only man in the Hollies, is he “Brother . . prompted Miss Nellie, softly. He smiled at her and nodded. “No,” he said firmly. “No, Grady. He isnt the only man here.
