During the summer season our schools are being refurbished to prepare for the advent of the regular term which begins in September. Cleaning, painting, and remodeling occupy the various staffs and all is done under the supervision of the administrators. Vacations are fun for all but most of us enjoy the routine that is such an important part of our American way. O-—O ' Kindness and friendliness are still the best means for selling a community to strangers. The recent letter received and printed by this newspaper attests to a real selling job by one of our law enforcement officers. Such actions are highly commendable and each of us could take a lesson from that incident. Every man. woman and child has such an obligation to his home town and, when fulfilled, each can rightly call this the best place in the world to live. ' --O'" O . Cook county (Hl.) is testing » new “rumbling” surface near dangerous intersections. Ths built-in alarm consists of a lane primed with liquid asphalt and overlaid with particles of screened slag to cause an audible rumble when a car rolls over it. The unusual noise alerts the driver, adding a positive safety factor at crossings where other attractions may distract him. "M you hear it, you're near it,” is the slogan that is proving to be an added safety device. Sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? ■■ O' ■■ O" While first things should come first, there is a growing tendency to think in terms of the next decade or two. If and when we go to a thirty-hour week, what provisions are being made for added leisure time? Consideration must be given to facilities tor some 80 workers to take up the extra hours that most will have pt their disposal. Plan commissions would do well to think in terms of more parks as well as ...fitter large areas for future utilitojyrtion for leisure-time activities. | Preceding generations planned k well for us and we owe similar | foresight to those who follow. Make your suggestions known to "the Plan Board, Chamber of Com"Therce, or to the city administration.

By the way, did you make that call to a shut-in or send a message? So little for us to do tat it would mean so much to them. Life is filled with such opportunities and a deep sense of satisfaction is awaiting us. Do it now'. ——o o Worthman field remains one of the focal points tor recreation in Decatur. A recent survey showed the intense use that is being made of the facilities there. Morning leagues with some forty boys taking part in addition to six little league teams plus two in the pony class would seam to be enough to keep the diamond busy at all times. However, Klenk's Federation club and the American legion juniors also use the same grounds. During one recent week there were sixteen games played on the one diamond that provided recreation tor more than 300 men and boys exclusive of managers, batboys and spectators. In addition to the aforemnetioned games, an average of well over a hundred others engage in craft activities and use of swings, merry-go-round, jungle-gym. horseshoe, and sundry other devices. Decatur is fortunate to have fine play areas as children and adults take every opportunity to use them. o ■-■■o Concurrent with the Supreme Court decision in the Girard case a copy of The Mainichi, English version, from Tokyo came to our attention. Though it was dated June 8, we thought that parts of a lengthy discussion on this celebrated case would be worthy of your consideration. The author, Richard Rubacher, wonders why the Girard case got such widespread discussion then relates another accident several months preceding, wherein the Japanese family accepted Army handling of the affair. Mr. Rubacher suggests that public opinion has been unduly influenced “when authoritative sources presented biased opinions” which affected .our thinking. Regretting the state of feeling between the two countries, he finally recommended a joint prosecution of the case. "This suggestion, if practiced, could restore harmony between our nations and can establish a precedent in international cooperation.” An interesting discussion in view of the fact that he is on the scene. . <

WHAT IS HAPPENING 1 Will Beeson is telling the story. His , home has been the Box P ranch in Easter Valley in frontier Colorado I ever since Joe and Sarah Pardee took him in, a homeiess. hungry kid. seven . years back. Will, having the deepest J affection for the Pardees. was dis- 1 tressed by the bitterness between Joe and his wife. Sarah, who has lived in • wheel chair since an accident . 1 One morning Will rode with Joe / Pardee and Gene Dillingham, another of Joe’s cowhands, to meet Al Beam, 1 who had challenged Pardee s domination of Easter Valley. When Joe . cornered Beam, he was the loser in < the duel. Dillingham killed Beam in t a rage of grief. Dying of his wounds. Joe told Beeson: “Take care of Kathy ‘ Morgan," referring to a young woman J who had attracted Joe’s interest t Sarah, taking charge of the ranch, names Beeson as foreman. This makes him aii enemy, for Gene Dillingham | has expected to get the job. Going further. Sarah gives Beeson 49% ownership Os the Box P. to make him i eligible to be a member and assert , authority in the Easter Valley Cattlemen’s association. Joe Pardee had 1 been its president The new president. Alec Dodson, is not the fighter for the ranchers’ rights that Joe was. • Will wants to maintain Joe Pardee s , Iron-flsted policy of keeping the val- , ley free of homesteaders, but Sarah opposes violence “to protect grass we . don't own." When two newcomers, , John Mathers and Al Romig, come to Box P to inquire about land in the /alley, her new ranch partner's hostility to them angers Sarah. Wills own anger is greater when, later, he - learns from Kathy Morgan that Mathers and Romig are preparing to bring a colony of fifty families to live In the valley, aided by Merle Turner, in Easter Valley man. , , . CHAPTER 10 * MERLE TURNER had left the valley not long after 1 had Srst come here, and 1 remembered aim well: a small man with a iisproportionately large head, red-veined eyes, and eyeteeth so long and sharp they reminded ypu of a boar's tusks. I remembered something else, too. Turner and Dillingham had been good friends. Now 1 wondered whether they would resume their friendship if Turner came back to the valley. It would certainly add to my troubles. Turner had no use for me. I remembered why, too, for it was not a thing Td forget. At the time Turner had been working for Dodson, but he got into a fight with a man who rode for Irv Costello’s Skull outfit. Merle Turner killed the cowboy, and Joe Pardee decided It was Turner’s fault, so Dodson fired him. I had the bad luck to run “ into Merle that afternoon in Carlton. He picked a fight with me, but I licked him. Before he left the country, he threatened Dodson and Joe and me. Maybe that was why he'd signed up with Mathers. He couldn’t hurt Joe, but he could get at Sarah and the Box P, and Dodson and I were still here. “How did Mathers get hold of him?” 1 asked Kathy. “I don’t know,” she answered, "but I did hear Mathers say that he’d heard about Easter Valley from Turner.” "Wonder why Turner didn’t come with Mathers this trip." “1 can guess. I knew Turner pretty well when hp was here. He’s the kind who nurses a grudge and never forgets. It’s taken him all this time to find .*a way to get even. Because he ' F didn't know Joe was" dead, he probably thought there'd be a 1

I 1 " Modern Etiquette BY ROBBRTA LIB | Q. When guests are leaving, after spending an evening in one’s home, are the host and hostess supposed to remain at the door until they have entered their- cars and driven off, or do they close the door immediately after the guests have gone out ? A. The door may be closed while the guests are walking away form the house - - but, of course, you do not want to be too very abrupt about it. Q. I see more people cutting their bread or rolls at the table with a knife. Is this now considered proper ? A. No- Good behavior still requires that bread, rolls and the like be broken into small pieces

fight, and witn any or more men on his side he could get even with all of you.” “But if he showed up now with Mathers, ohe of us would get him.” “That’s right,” she said. “You’d better catch up with Mathers before he gets any farther. Kill him if you have to.” I went out through the back door and crossed the yard to the shed. I untied my horse and stepped up. Five minutes later 1 was headed down the creek toward Alton’s Trading Post, the wheel tracks of Mathers’ rig plain to read in the snow. While I rode, anger grew in me as 1 thought about what would happen if Mathers brought fifty families to Easter Valley. I reined up and looked back. Far across the flat the Sangre de Cristo range was a notched wall dividing our basin from the San Luis Valley on the other side. South, beyond the forks of Easter Creek, the land ran on and on until it was swallowed by a horizon made hazy by dust. It was arid country which held the King ranch and several others. As Curly King often said, no one who lived there needed to worry about having to fight for his landAny man who sought a place to live would not invade that range. The good land was all at this end of the valley. The Box P formed a big part of it. I was sick with the thought of losing it, because it was the only home I could remember with any sense of belonging. I would not give it up. No matter who got hurt or how much blood was shed, I would uot give it up. By the time 1 caught up with Mathers and Romig just below Alton’s 1 was ready to kill them on the slightest excuse. I crowded my horse againit the rig, my gun in my hand, calling, “Pull up!” Mathers stopped at the edge ot the road and looked at me. If he saw my agitation, he hid it well. He simply sat unmoving, the lines gripped in his gloved hands, a buffalo robe over his and Romig’s Jap. Romig was scared. I nodded at Mathers as I bolstered my gun. “I just heard you intend to fetch a bunch of colonists to the valley—about fifty of them, if the yarn I heard was right.” “It’s right,” Mathers said. “Tm president of the society. Romig is the treasurer. We were sent out as a committee to. select a settlement site." “Why didn’t you tell us last ' night what your intention? were ?” “I told Mrs. Pardee. I saw no reason to tell you.” Tm half-owner of the Box P and I’m the foreman. That ought to be reason enough.” Mathers shook his head. “You’re not to sympathy witß . what we’re trying to do. Mrs. i Pardee is. I 1 ’ talked frankly to I her, and she gave me some spleni did advice. As far as the Box P : is concerned, you have nothing to • feaz*" t ..

•J with the fingers, and each piece buttered as it is eaten. Q When the national arithem is played in a motion picture theater, should the audience rise ? A. If it is played as a part of the picture, you do not rise. But if is played separately, you most certainly do rise, Q. Should a wrist corsage be worn on the right or left wrist? A. There is no rule governing this, but probably it would be better .to wear it on the left wrist than on the more-often-used right wrist. Q. Is it ever proper for a hostess at a dinner to call attention to the fact that one of her guests is eating very little? A. No; it may be that the guest is not feeling well. It would be better to say nothing unless the guest mentions it.

•The devil we haven’t," I said. “You throw fifty families into the valley, and you’ll be pushing up the East Fork right into our meadowland and winter range." Mathers shook his head. T gave my word to Mrs. Pardee.” He leaned forward, gray eyes searching my face. “Beeson, J want no trouble with you or anyone. Believe me. But if there is trouble, we’U handle it We know the law, and 1 assure you we will do nothing that isn’t legal." 1 tapped the butt of my tun. •The law stops at Alton’s Trading Post Mathers. If you go ahead with this, we’ll put men at the head of the canyon and shoot the first man and team that comes through it” * “And hang for it" “Maybe, but that won’t help you if you’re driving the first wagon. Listen, Mathers. This isn’t the place for you. It’s cattle country. You’ll starve if you try to farm it It’s too high and the growing season's too short Your crops won’t mature.” Mathers shook his head again. “It won’t do, Beeson. ' You and Dodson and the rest are occupying land that belongs to the American people. Thousands of acres for cows and a handful of people when it should be the other way around. Beeson, Mrs. Pardee says you’re an intelligent and reasonable man, but you’re x neither intelligent nor reasonable as iong as you keep trying to impersonate Joe Pardee. You can’t go on being led by the dead hand of the past.” “Joe’s death doesn’t make any difference,” 1 shot back. “We’U fight for what’s ours. I’ve ridden a long ways to warn you." I jerked a hand downriver. “Stay out of Easter Valley.” “I haven’t said all I want to say,” Mathers said. “I suppose you’ve never lived in a city. It’s bad. Bad for kids. Bad for your health, working long hours and barely making enough to live. That’s why we organized the society. We’ll bring happiness and peace of mind and health to people who now see no purpose in living.”—*“You’re good with words, Mathers," I said, "but you're only a dreamer, and it takes more’n ' dreams to keep 'fifty families alive. And another thing: Don’t believe a word Merle Turner tells you. He’s got his own ax to grind, and don’t you forget it.” He studied me for a moment, then said sadly: “It happens that I trust Merle Turner. I can see you’re not going to be reasonable, Beeson. If you aren’t, we’U fight Some of us will die and so will you, and for nothing. There are too many of us and too few of - you, and we’ll win. 1 have always believed that the Lord is on the side of the right If He is, then He certainly is on our side because we are not satisfied, as you are, to leave life as it is toi day. We're looking toward tomorrow, a great tomorrow designed for the welfare of not of cows. Good day, sir.” X?® Be
