If you’re anticipating future costs you can put down the probable tax rate at $5.50 as it goes to the state tax board, and you won’t be far off. And that's a lot of money. ,o■ o — Church attendance, which has lagged all summer long while people have been on vacations, should start this week showing a marked increase. If you start right out devoting an hour to Church each Sunday you’ll feel better each week and will have more to live for. How about starting next Sunday. ■ Ot »- Decatur Klenk’s famous baseball team is going right along toward a chance to play in the national tournament The Klenkmen have won two straight in playoffs and each time they play, the local team draws a bigger crowd.

In most parts of the county, farmers are sorely in need of rajn. Land is dry and large cracks are forming. Crops are almost at a standstill because of a lack of water. "TV- O O ' The Decatur public school faculty has been announced for the first term by Superintendent W. Guy Brown and all plans have been completed for the start of school the day after Labor Day. Superintendent Brown has done • good job of getting a complete teaching faculty. Many schools tn northern Indiana still have numerous vacancies, because of the teacher shortage. It is a fine compliment to Decatur and to the school system that the personnel here has been completely hired. Teachers like to locate in good cities where there are good school systems and we have just such a system and just such an environment.

People won’t be fooled into watching reruns on television very tong even if it’s free and right in your front room. After you’ve heard the corny commercials a few times and have seen the same old stuff a time or two, you’ll get into the family car and go to the movies or take a drive. The public won’t be fooled for long with trash, even If it’s free. ".-.-O i o Decatur automobile drivers are tar from courteous. Many drivers bolt out from stop signs, alleys and intersections like they owned the streets. It is not the fault of the police department, because with the limited size of the city’s enforcement staff, it would be impossible to enforce the traffic laws. Several streets are virtually speedways. All small cities are faced with the problems of dealing with the “hot rod society,” which is composed of a group of smart-alec drivers, many of whose parents would blame everyone but their children if there was a fatal tragedy. Perhaps we are headed fcr a statute prohibiting driving of footer vehicles by anyone under 21 or 25 years. Ore perhaps we are headed for a statute with stiffer penalties for violations. At any rate the entire matter of speeding is worthy of a study by all persons interested in safety and “ safe driving. — —o-— The sale of bonds for the sewage treatment plant is scheduled likely that the bonds will be much under five percent. The funds to be provided by the bond issue will total $925,000 and total cost will amount to $1,170,000. The balance of the money will come from a $250,000 federal grant. Os the $974,000 cost of construction, biggest fee is the $68,200 charge of Consoer, Townsend and Associates for engineering and supervising. Next largest is the legal fee which is set at $9,750. And please bear in mind that stream pollution engineers who have ordered construction admit that the project will not be workable when there is a heavy rainfall. They’re taking your money, by a state stream pollution board legal order, and what are you getting, except a higher water rate?

CHAPTER 27 IV7HILE NELA AND I were W married secretly in Canon City, AJ Romig died suddenly of a heart attack. Nela returned tn time to attend the funeral, but neither Sarah Pardee nor I heard about it until the following Sunday, when Nela and her father came to dinner. 1 had often wondered about John Mathers, and now that he was my father-in-law 1, Will Beeson, wondered more than ever. He had lost himself in a dream, lost himself so completely that he wasted his private fortune upon it. At first I had respected him for his seeming honesty and sincerity; but recently I had begun to question his motives, partly because of little things Nela had said about him, but mostly because I felt that the real John Mathers was disguised by a fine flow of words and an impressive personality. I had just about decided that Mathers did not really think tn terms of doing good for fifty families, the goal he had expressed so many times. Rather, I thought, prestige and position were most important to him. In SLeLouis he had been a hardware merchant, and a prosperous one, but still a man in a large community. He had changed all that by coming here, where he was a leader who could force his will upon others; and even now, when the clouds of disaster could not be ignored, he still refused to admit they were gathering. Nela would not have agreed I was right any more than I would have agreed she was right about Sarah, but I realized it whs possible for a person to be so close to someone he loved that he could not make an objective judgment That was the way it had been with me and Joe Pardee. Now that he had been dead for nearly a year, I still wasn’t sure J knew what kind of a man he had been. As far as Mathers' feeling for Al Romig was concerned, I could not question his honest griet "He was more than a friend," Mathers said at dinner. "He in our Idea He supported ma/ in every way he could. I hever saw a man work as hard for a principle he believed in as Al did. It was that way right from the start He came with me last fall because he felt It was his duty, not because he wanted to.” Mathers looked down at his plate. *1 suppose many heroes live and die and are burled in unmarked graves, and are never mentioned in history. That’s the way it was with At H« was a hero. He wasn’t strong enough for a rough country like thia He knew it, but he came because he felt it was something he had to do, and he died because he obeyed the caH of duty.”

short note—for sending and replying to invitations, for enclosing with a gift, and so on. It is not proper, however, as a letter of condolence. Q. When a man is sitting at a cocktoil bar, is it necessary for him to tip the bar man? A. While not exactly necessary, it still seems to be expected in many places •* especially when one’s change is returned to one in a small tray. Q. Is it necessary to send a gift when one is invited to the church wedding, but not to the reception? A. In this case, it is not necessary, Only an invitation to the reception requires a gift. Playground Closed For Summer Season The playground at Worthman field will close Wednesday for the season, it was announced today. The field will remain open only for baseball games the rest of the summer, with all regular playground activities suspended.

Nela and I got out of the house and down the slope to the willows a* soon as we could. We were in each other’s arms the instant we were hidden from the eyes of Sarah and Mathers. We hadn't seen each other since Wednesday, and it seemed half a lifetime ago. There was something else that meant more to Nela than to me, and she mentioned it at once. "It looks as if we’re doing something wrong, coming here so furtively. But we’re married. Will It’s not as if we were having a clandestine meeting, or being terribly wicked, but I know that's what Sarah's thinking." Nela was probably right about Sarah, but whether she was or not, there was the question of what we should do and when. I asked, "Do you want to tell them now ?” She shook her head. She was sitting up, hugging her legs, with her chin on her knees as she stared at the creek. “Not today. Dad’s all wrapped up tn Al’s death. He couldn’t stand another blow. And it will be. We might as well face facts. It’ll be just as hard on Sarah. She doesn’t suspect ?” "I don’t know what she suspects,’’ I said. “1 haven't talked to her much lately. She didn’t ask why I went to Canon City. She just looked at me accusingly, with her lips tight It isn’t like her.” "What would be like her, having you obey every whim and fancy she has?” "I guess so,” I said. “What about your dad?” She laughed shortly. "He’s so wrapped up in his colony affairs that he never thinks of me. It will be like hitting him with a club when we tell him.” “For a while It thought they really were tn love with each other,” I said. "Now it's beginning to fade." “It’s been fading for quite a while," Nela said. "Sarah is tired of listening to Dad. He doesn’t talk about her. Maybe she’s found out he doesn't respond to her touch the way she thought he would. Or maybe she’s worrying so much about you that she hasn’t got room tor anyone else.” Nela looked at me. “Oh, Will, I iove you so much!” I tobk her into my arms, finding it hard to say what was in my heart., “I love you, too. Don’t let anything ever happen that will separate us.” - "1 won’t I promise, darling." We walked back to the house, each trying to be sedate and to look unconcerned about the other, and both of us feeling like the hypocrites we were. Before we reached the house, Nela said: "Dillingham is still working for Turner. What are they waiting for?”

Another Delay For Nuclear Device Test LAS VEGAS. Nev. UUP)—The Atomic Energy Commission lost a battle with the weather early today and was forced to call the 15th postponement in the firing of its Shasta nuclear device. The test was set for 5 a.m. p.d.t. but less than jn hour before the device was to be triggered atop a 500-foot tower, scientists decided that wind conditions could carry fallout <?ver populated areas near the Nevada Proving Grounds. The AEC will try again at the same time Wednesday. ~ If you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. it brings results. te/teenr? nHicnmins * WANT ABBS

"I don't know,” I said. The natural - * guess was that they intended to clean the range of Anchor cattle and sell them and pocket the money, but that was Mathers’ business. Nothing 1 could do or say would prevent its happening. He wouldn’t believe anything 1 told him. "Turner is> with the colonists most of the time," said Nela. "He keeps telling them that all they’ve got to do is to move onto your range to get their quarter-section of land. Some of them are listening, too. The grain isn't maturing, you know." She smiled at me. "That makes you a good prophet, husband.” “I didn’t have to be smart to prophesy that,” I said. "Does your dad know?” "He must.” She shook her head, frowning. “But he Ignores » it, as he does everything he doesn’t want to happen.” After they left, 1 sat on the porch, with Sarah beside me in her wheel chair. It was the first time we had been alone together for a long while. She looked across the valley to the Sangre de Cristos range, now almost bare of snow. She murmured, "It’s beautiful, isn't it. Will?" “Yes,” I said, "but I thought you hated it.” "I hate my memories,” she said. "Not the valley." The evening was pleasantly warm, with the smell of rain in the air. Shadows were long, and the scarlet glory of sunset was at its peak above the mountains. Time was rushing by, 1 thought Fall roundup and the yearly drive to Leadville, then winter, and, unless I did something, I would still have no wife beside me. 1 stood up and looked down at Sarah, but she Ignored me as she had been doing for days. She knows, I thought I saw lines in her forehead and around her eyes. Her hands, loosely clasped on her lap, looked very fragile. "When are you going to marry Mathers?" I asked. “I don’t«know,” she said listlessly. "Trouble’s still coming," I said. "We'll have colonists squatting on Box P grass within a month.” She said, still not looking at me; "We’ve had too much trouble already, Will. I'd rather lose the Box P than take a life." I turned and walked away, past the cottonwoods and on to the corral, where I roped and saddled my horse. The waiting had stretched out too long already, and I wasn't sure I could go on waiting. Circumstances are developing iu which Will feels he must say. “AU right. Nela. let’s go tell them we're married now.” Continue "Gunlock" tomorrow.

Free TV Versus Pay TV Is Fierce Controversy

(Second of a series of dispatches. Today—The three Systems Os Pay TV). By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Staff Correspondent ■ NEW YORK, (UP)—ToU television, like Gaul, is divided Into three parts. They are called phonevision, subscriber - vision ana telemeter. AU three systems can be delivered by wire (like your telephone) or by. air (like the telecasts you receive now). Wire is the more expensive method, but one of its virtues is that presumably, the show would not have to be scrambled to thwart free-loaders. The innards of each over-the-air system are almost as complicated as a folding beach chair. But the outer mechanisms that would be struck onto your TV set are as simple to work as a telephone or parking meter. All you need are a set of fingers and a willingness to pay. How They Work Here is the breakdown on the scrambled systems: Phonevision is the system of the Zenith Radio Corp., a Chicago firm that has been tinkering with pay TV since the mid-1930'5. Phonevision gets its name from Zenith’s early experiments with TV by telephone wire, a plan it has since junked. Under the phonevision system, a gadget about the size of a kitchen radio would be attached to your TV set. The gadget contains five dials and is used to unscramble the electronic omelet put into one of your channels by phonevision. One expert in the toU TV field. Dr. MiUard Faught, believes the gadget would cost less than $25 Each month, the phbnevision customer would receive a program card in the mail. It would tell him what numbers to dial for the shows he wanted to see. For example, if the subscriber wanted to watch a pay-TV movie on Tuesday night, his card might tell him to dial “65453" on his decoder. If he wanted to watch a fight on Thursday, he might have to dial “45321.” Each subscriber would have a different set of numbers to dial—so that it would be impossible for neighbors to cheat the system by sharing code numbers. Mails Monthly Card The program cards are so constructed that every time a subcriber wishes to see what numbers to dial for a show, he has to rip through a series of perforations for each event. At the end of the month, he mails the card back to phonevision where the number of perforations are toted to Skiatron electronics. Subscriber — vision is a development of the Skiatron Electronics and Television Corp., a public corporation. However, a private firm, Skiatron TV, is the outfit which is out hustling subscribervision. Skiatron TV is the firm

—rJ*. ■— — ' that has sweet - talked the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants into its camp. Five per cent of Skiatron TV'a annual gross goes to Siatron electronics. Its pay TV system, fprtunately, is less complicated than its financial set-up. Under subscribervision, the customer would have a decoder unit hooked on his set. It's figured under mass production, the units would cost less than S2O. The subscriber - vision consumer gets a special IBM card each month which contains information about the shows to be cast. If a subscriber wants to see a toll show, he inserts the IBM card into a slot in his de-coder when the show is about to go on. He then pushes a button on his de-coder which punches a hole in the card. That completes an electronic circuit which un-jumbles the show. The card is mailed back each month for billing. Uses Coin Box Telemeter is a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures, which owns 90 per cent of it. Telemeter attaches a coin box to the set and Louis Novins, vice - president of telemeter, thinks it should cost around $7.50 to install. The telemeter box gobbles up any kind of loot from a nickel to a 50 cent piece. It’s geared to charge as much as $2.00 for a show. If you don’t have the right change for a show, you can overpay and the box will credit you for the next program. Periodically, a man with a satchel will knock on the customer’s door to empty his coin box. There is no doubt that all three of these “on the air" systems will work. They all have been; tested. The only question is whe-i ther the Federal Communications Commission now deliberating on the issue of toll TV. will give the i go - ahead for either tests or fullfledged business excursions. Exchonge Students Examined For Flu NEW YORK (UP) — City and federal health officials today examined a reported 100 cases of what may be Asiatic flu among European exchange students arriving here aboard the liner Arosa Sky.

Ship officials i had reported an outbreak at sea j of what they believed to be "mild i influenza.” Aboard the Arosa Sky are about 800 foreign students aged 16 to 18, all scheduled to live with families across the United States and attend local high schools.
