Auto manufacturers say that almost all automobiles operate very efficiently on regular brands of gasoline. Some auto-makers even recommend against the use of high test products. Your dealer can tell you what is best for your particular car. 0 0 First State Bank of Decatur and Mr. and Mrs. William Shafer of near Monroeville are the first to contribute SSOO each for the furnishing of rooms in the new addition to Adams county Mem* orial hospital. Others are expected to follow and it is generally believed that the entire addition can be furnished by various civic minded citizens without adding any amount to our tax burden. 0 O Everyone of the'gasoline producers has brought out new gasolines in recent months. Most of the producers have a regular and a high test product. Prices in this area are as low as any in the middle west, in spite of the rise in state and federal taxes. When you compare our local prices with those of any in the Central states, you’ll agree it is just another reason that we live In a good community. Now we are told by the very biased press associations that the fate of the President’s request for much more money for foreign aid rests with Sen. Lyndon Johnson the Democrat leader who places Texas first and then the welfare of his nation. We shudder to think of the political deals this man could make prior to his agreeing to more money. Perhaps a Democrat uprising would bring us better leadership. If it doesn’t there are countless loyal and faithful Democrats who could not go along. c » .i i" O O £e Van Wert, Ohio, County next to our own state fair ys attracts a banner number of .area people to its week stand over Labor Day. The neighboring fair and agricultural exposition is regarded as one of the best in the middlewest and there always is a good card of harness races. This year’s Van Wert fair promises to be a good one and because is only eighteen miles from De- i |catur it always draws a large of fair-goers from here, jibe fair also bos numerous night fattractions.

Several road improvements are in progress in this area. The quick resurfacing work is a far cry from closing the highway for several weeks. —O——O—— New automobile production was nine percent above that of a year ago according to latest Dun and Bradstreet figures. Truck production during the same period fell off some eight percent. This is considered as an optimistic note because generally new car production drops this time of year, as potential buyers await the new models. However the buyers have been convinced that there will not be any major changes on next year’s models and they’re taking advantage of the good deals now available at most new car markets. O 0 i Mrs. Louise Wood, who resides on a hill farm near Martinsville has the only sanctuary for homeless dogs that we know of in Indiana. There are 45 dogs, who otherwise would roam the streets being cared for at this unusual place and there is no charge for the humanitarian service. Mrs. Wood has asked that all dog lovers be reminded that food and food supplements, old towels, blankets and flea powder always are among the needed contributions. Any donations sent to Mrs. Louise Wood, The Sanctuary, route two. Box 264. will be greatly appreciated. This haven for homeless dogs has been in (foeration for several years. O O U.A.W. officers have suggested a SIOO price reduction on each automobile purchased in 1958 and if this program were placed in operation, the price drop would be taken into consideration by U.A.W. at the next negotiation conference with the auto industry's big three. There has been no answer from the manufacturers, who have a record of not accepting any suggestions, either good or bad, which come from the workers. We don’t profess to know anything about the operation of the automobile industry, but we do know that any price cuts would be accepted by the . consumers. It seems ridiculous to pay more than $3,000 for one of the so-called low priced three. We used to get them for kss than a thousand dbllars.

CHAPTER 32 AS I WALKED to the rear of the .store. An Delaney looked ■ at me speculatively. “Name a price," 1 said, "on everything you own: store building, stock, and house.” I could almost smell the greed i that was working in him. Finally he said, “Ten thousand.* I started toward the front door. 1 had almost reached M when I heard him pattering After me. "Hold on, Will.” As I tumed, he said, “Before I talk turkey I’ve got a right to know whether you’re serious or just bulling me." Tm serious,” I said, “and there’s cash money to swing the deal, but when you talk about SIO,OOO you’re ten times high.” Again 1 would have walked out if he hadn’t hung on to my arm, bracing himself with both legs. “Five thousand.*’ 1 shook him off, irritated, and cuffed back my hat "No good, Art. It boils down to a question of whether you want to sell and get out with a little bit, or walk out with nothing.” He stared at the floor without saying anything. I said: “Art, I've got $3,000. That's what I’ll give you." He got red in the face, and then white, and I thought he’d faint. Then he howled: “You’re a robber, Will Beesqn! Why, the goods on my shelves ...” I was through the door and on the porch when his voice came to me, high and shrill, "I’ll take it” “Make out the papers,” I said. *Tve got some riding to do. I’ll stop back tonight” I left town, riding against the wind, the desire to see Nela an overpowering urge in me. The air was cold now. Within an hour or two the drizzle would turn to snow. My original idea was to put John Mathers in the store. Now that I had agreed to buy it 1 was tormented by a plague of doubts. 1 had never been able to find any common ground with Mathers. He probably hated me for marrying his daughter. After 1 had time to think, I decided I didn't want to have anything more to do with him than 1 was forced to by family obligations. Nela recognized me, even in the rapidly thinning dusk, and came flying out of the cabin, disregarding the rain and the mud. “Will, where have you been?" she cried. “I expected you yesterday.” All the bitterness was flushed out Os me then. 1 felt as if I had been purged of something that was evil and unclean. She was my wife and I loved her, and John Mathers was her father—a futile man, a dreamer, a failure, but still her father. We went inside aad the warmth from the big range rushed at me. A Mglited lamp was the table. Next to the waS ij

Race Demonstration Crowd Is Dispersed Pennsylvania State Troopers In Charge LEVITTOWN, Pa (UP» Clubswinging state troopers Monday night charged into a crowd of more than 350 persons outside the home of the first Negro family to move into this suburban Philadelphia community. Three persons were injured before the mob was dispersed. Two persons injured in the melee were identified as Patricia Mulhern, 28, and Donald Walker. A third unidentified woman about 55 years old was also injured. Miss Mulhern, who weighs HO pounds, said a state trooper struck her on the legs and back with a club. She said later she would talk with her attorney to consider bringing charges of police brutality. She was treated for shock and minor injuries at Low-

mw MR saoct, tn* little scnoolteacher and secretary of the colony, Bitting to a chair, his legs stretched toward the stove. Then I looked at the bed on the other side of the room. John Mathers lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, his face bandaged. “You haven’t had anything to eat, have you?” Nela asked aa she hung my coat and hat near the stove. ‘TH fix you something." I said in a low tone to Scott, who had come to stand beside me, "What happened?" “They almost beat him to death,” Scott said. "Turner and Dillingham and Secore and that bunch. He tried to stop them, you know. It was while you were out of the valley." He touched his head gingerly. “I tried to help him, but somebody hit me with a gun barrel when it started and 1 was out of the fight." Nela came back to me from the stove. "Go over and speak to him, Will. He’s been wanting to see you.” 1 walked to the bed. I looked down at him, and saw that he recognized me at once. "Hello, Will," he said. “I tried, but 1 failed. I guess I’ve failed at everything since I left St Louis.” 1 wanted to say something to give him some assurance, but my throat was too fuzzy. 1 was ashamed, as thoroughly ashamed as a man could be, for the thoughts Td had a few moments ago about John Mathen. •1 don’t think you're a failure, Dad,” Nela said. 1 found my voice and I said: “A man who fights to keep his word is not a failure. John, I’ve got something for you." 1 laid Turner's money belt on the bed. “Turner was shot and killed this afternoon. That’s his share of the money from the cattle he and Dillingham stole. If Dillingham’s still around, we’ll get him, too." He felt the belt with his right hand, but he didn’t lift it. He said, "Thank you. Will." Nela pulled me away from the bed, whispering, "He tires easily, Wilt* While she warmed up some food for me, Scott told the what had happened. "Dillingham and Turner and Secure had been talking to our people for weeks. L guess you heard." I nodded, sad he went 00. “Dillingham didn't carry any weight because he was a valley man to stsrt with, and everybody knew he hod tt in for you and Mrs. Pardee, tt was Turner who did the mischief. And John had trusted him from the beginning. We wouldn't have come to this valley if it hadn’t been for him. , "Turner kept vaying the only! way to make a living was to have at least a quarter-section of land. He blamed John and me for buyjiag Anchor and trying to make

er Bucks County Hospital. The crowd, which assembled about 100 yards from the ranchtype home of William Meyers, was the seventh demonstration since last Tuesday when the home was placed under police guard. State Police Lt. M. D. Wickert, in charge of the troopers, warned the milling demonstrators over a loud speaker, "Somebody threw a stone at one of my troopers, I will give you just ten minutes to disperse and go to your homes.” When the deadline had arrived, Wickert gave orders which sent the club-swinging troopers into the crowd forcing it about two blocks away from the Meyer’s home. Meyers told newsmen at a conferehce in his home he would remain in the community unless the pressure "becomes unbearable.” The college - educated Meyers, who is a $5,000-a-year refrigeration firm employe, added, “I will try to be a good neighbor, I only ask that they, the other residents be a good neighbor too.” He said, however, “if the pressure becomes unbearable and my wife says she can’t take any more. then I’ll move.”

a small acreage do for each family. Finally they forced a meeting and voted to dissolve the society and divide the treasury, which amounted to nothing; a share of aero is zero. “John and me knew it would be close. There were twenty-three families, counting me and John. The vote was twelve to eleven, which means nine families were willing to stay right where they were on the West Fork. Well, John lost his head when he saw he was outvoted. He got in the doorway and said he wasn't letting any of them out until they came to their senses. They just ran over him. He tried to fight, but there were too many of them.” “How bad is he hurt?" “His left arm’s broken. Besides the cuts on his face, he’s got a couple of broken ribs and a lot of bruises." Nela motioned me to the table and said in a low tone: just lies there almost as if he were in a coma. He says he’s ruined everything for me because he couldn’t keep his word to you.” "Don’t let him think that,” I said. "We’ll make out.” "Os course, Will.” She put a hand over mine. “That’s the last thing I ever worry about." I hadn’t eaten all day, and by the time I was full some of the tiredness had left me. 1 told them what had happend, and Scott nodded. He said, ’The ones who are left will make a living, if Costello and Brahms let them stay." “They’ll let them," I said, and rose. "I’ve got to get back to the Box P. I’ll settle it with Sarah one way or the other, and I’ll see you tomorrow. Don’t let your dad worry, Nela. We’re going to figure things out." "I’m glad you talked to him,” she said. “Nela," I said, "he’s a brave man. Tell him that. Tell him he belongs in this country. He's just got to find his place in it That's all." I put on my hat and coat, and kissed her, and it seemed only a moment 1 had been with her. “Don.’t, stay up all night," I said. “You’re tired." She nodded at Scott. “Lin spells ma off, and his wife comes a part of the time." She stood in the doorway until I was in the saddle and starting back down the road. 1 tad that picture to Carry m try mind, of her standing motionless with the light behind her. f-he closed the dobr, nnd the night blackness wss nil around me, and the wtia that had turned to -<oow was T whipped past me by the wind. “At the sound of a shot I ■ alerted.
