Northern Indiana lake resorts continue to be crowded. The chief reason is that fish are still biting and hundreds are taking advantage of the fact that most speed boats have been put away for the season. The next flew weekends will be good ones for the followers of Isaak Walton. Baseball is nearing the end of the 1957 season and it seems now, unless there is a complete reversal of form that the Yankees and Braves will battle it out for the championship. This year will be the first in several in which a midwestern team has participated, and we came within a whisker of having both the Braves and White Sox in the play-off. The Yanks were just a little too strong tho’ and the Sox apparently have faltered. o o Gov. Handley, Indiana’s G.0.P.Chamber of Commerce governor continues to run true to form as the Indiana Chamber's mouthpiece. He spoke last week before a National Chamber group and talked against federal control, but said nothing about such state controls which force cities to install costly sewage disposal plants which their own engineers Bay won t work during heavy rains. What a man’ W Free enterprise certainly should prevail on the nation's toll roads. , So far certain oil companies and certain catering concerns have been given the selling privileges •t a premium, which means that pay higher prices for and refreshments. It is the only f»ay the concessioners can get their money back and of course the users of the road pay. So acutaßy you’re not only paying to retire the raid bonds but you also are'paying the concession fee plqs the regular taxes, .yhiote-are plenty. iy — — 0 The lasftjlggislature gave us a ' statute which regulates the time, split so we will have standard time during the fall and winter "and eastern standard time during summer when we want more ■ day time. Maybe it isn't the per- ('* feet answer to our tinje'problem, but ft is the law and we hope everyone abides by it There is talk in Fort Wayne of attempting to by-pass the statute. Let’s be I good citizens and abide by it. j Then if we don’t like it let’s get ( it changed.

First full school week is past. Students are buckling down to actual study and before long they'll be entering the Holidays and the ' end of the first semester. Time goes clicking along and the older you get, the faster it goes. Let’s make the best of every hour. — -O'.— -Q Cool temperatures which have ruled for several days will give way to warmer weather and perhaps some rain this week if weather forecasts are correct. We can use a little warmer weather without damage and the recent cool wave has been a little premature. While we have bordered on frost, there has been none so far and what there is of the tomato crop is still maturing. Q 0 Members of the Adams county Council worked hard this week and finally pruned off seven cents of a proposed tax rate of 90 cents. The matter now goes to the tax adjustment board and then finally to the state tax board. Requests are still high. County offices could be operated on much less money. However, the Council has done a good job and very few persons gave that body any aid or suggestions in arriving at the final figures. No doubt, the requests were made higher than necessary in expectation of reductions and as long as we don't show z .any interest as taxpayers, we will continue to have an excessively high rate. It’s your money they’re spending and if you don’t show any interest, you’ll have to take the consequences. <o O l— Tragedy sulked the highway last Saturday morning and a child was thrown from ah automobile and killed. The second tragedy will be if officials hastily brush off the incident as merely accidental without thoroughly investigating the mishap. This was done here earlier this summer in a fatal mishap on U.S. Highway 224 and there have been constant and ugly rumors concerning the quick disposition of the case as “an accident” without placing any blame on anyone. It’s a little more difficult for officials to have a thorough probe, but after all that’s what they’re paid for and that's what the people are entitled to. A complete investigation, made with an unbiased attitude by the proper officials should be expected and if not received, should be demanded.

Is it proper always to seat a woman at a table to the right of her male companion? A. When practical, yes. The few definite rules about this include the seating of a guest-of-honor on the right of the host or hostess or chairman, and the military rule by which the senior officer walks as well as sits on his junior’s right. Q. Is it necessary for a man who habitually carries a pipe in the mouth to remove it when speaking to a woman? A. He certainly should remove it. Q. Is it proper to have the ring of the bridegroom engraved with initials, if the marriage is to be a double-ring ceremony? A. This is perfectly proper. - —-a i Household Scrapbook i i BY ROBERTA LBS | ♦ • ■ —■■■■■> Ants ' Ants can be exterminated by keeping a small bag of sulphur in drawers and boxes.

WHAT IS HAPPENING The well-known Cool A Lam private investigating agency has a troublesome new case: tracing a missing person for a Texan client. Lawton Corning. After having indicated that his problem was an oil well deal, the Texan employ* the agency to find a Mrs. Drury Wells Corning fills in the detail*; Well* Bays that hi* wife, Yvonne, ran off with a man; a neighbor, Mrs. Frances Raleigh, suspects she was murdered. Donald Lam and his partner, Bertha Cool, ask a 81.000 retainer, but Corning agree* only to a 3150 advance. The Texan explains: "This is relatively a small case. I want to keep it small." Donald, who is teUing the story, drives to the home of Drury Wells in Southern California and finds Wells to be both uncooperative and unconcerned about his wife. He says that she simply walked out on him three days earlier. . , . CHAPTER 4 “VOU have a car?” I asked I Drury Wells. “Yep, a Jalopy.” “She didn’t take that?” „ “Damned right she didn’t! I wouldn’t have stood for that” “Then how did she leave?” "Walked, I guess.” “A bus line near here?” “It's about Half a mile.” “Did she take a suitcase?” “I don’t know. I tell you I didn’t see her.”' ” “Don't you know how many suitcases you have?” “I do now. I think there’s one suitcase missing, but I don't know.” "How about her clothes? She still has some here?” "That’s right” “If she was carrying a suitcase, and had to walk half a mile, she couldn’t have taken very many clothes with her.” "That’s logical.” "Did your wife own any property other than what her uncle left?” "I don’t know. I’m not interested in any of her property. Look, mister, what did you say your name was?” “Lam. Donald Lam.” “And you’re a detective?” "That’s right” “Somebody’s paying you for this?” “I don’t work for nothing." "Well, if somebody’s paying you, you ought to earn your money. Personally, I’ve got nothing against you, but I just don’t ... like to have strangers come into my house and mess around in stuff that’s none of their busi- — ness.” "That’s your attitude?" "That’s my attitude.” - “All right I’ll scout around a bit” I got to my feet “Good-bye." “Good-bye,” he said. I went to the front door. He started to get up to see me out, then thought better of it, just waved his hand and moved over to the Overstuffed chair I had * 9 IM7 W MS* Stanley Gardner. From «

It cannot be done satisfactorily, and It is much better to postpone the job.

I rang the bell and almost immediately the doorknob started to turn. Then, as though the person on the other side of the door felt it would be more fitting to wait for an interval so the situation wouldn’t be too obvious, the knob ceased turning, was held . motionless for a matter of sSme five seconds, then the knob was turned the rest of the way back, the door latch clicked, and a hatchet-faced, black-eyed woman 1 in her middle fifties said, “How do you do?” rattling the words out so they all ran together. "How do you do?” I said. 'Tm trying to get some information about the people who live next door and—” “What do you do?” , "Tm n detective.” “Well, It’s about time! It’s about time somebody did something. Come on in. Come right on in and sit down. When I stop to think what happened to that poor woman over there, and the fact that everyone lets him get away with it, I think it’s the most shocking thing I ever heard of! It’s an Indictment of our police force and our civilization, that’s what it is! Come in and sit down. What did you say your name was?” “I didn't say. It’s Donald Lam.’’ “I’m Mrs. W. Charles Raleigh.” “I surmised as much." “Now understand,” she said, “I’m not a snoop. I’m just a common, ordinary mortal. I try to be a good neighbor. I don’t push myself In where I’m not wanted. I try to be friendly. I feel that, in a neighborhood like this, people are all living together and they should get to know each other and behave like human beings. Is there anything wrong with that?” “Not that I can see." “Well, my husband Wendell—that's his first name, Wendell, but he doesn't like it Anyway, Wendell says I interfere too much. He insists that we had to move out of that last neighborhood because I was prying into things that were none of my business. "Lord knows I don’t want Wendell to think I’m prying and snooping in a situation of this sort I’m glad you came to me of your own accord and without any encouragement from me, Mr. Lam. You say you’re a detective?” .« “Private." “You mean you aren't representing the police ?" I shook my head, me txx* puMUhca by WiffixMA Do.

"You mean that after all that’s happened the police haven’t got here yet?" “Not. yet" “Well, what do you know about that!" she exclaimed. “Well, I may just as wen tell you what I know. After all, there isn’t any secret about it “It was last Friday night that’s the thirteenth. My husband sleeps heavy. I don’t I heard this racket over there next .door, and I could hear they were Waving quite a fight It was just about midnight “Now, I told you Tm not nosy, but after all, there are certain limits to what a neighbor Is supposed to have to put up with. I got up to see what it was all about It was a fight Drury Wells was swearing at his wife • something awful, and then she screamed. It was the most terrified, piercing scream I ever heard in my life and I am willing to swear to you, Mr. Lam, that I heard something thud. “Now, my husband tells me thatl didn't hear any such thing. He tells me I’m just crazy. I guess I know what I heard and what I didn’t hear.” “What did you do?” I asked. “I eased back the shade on the window and looked over there. There were lights in the house, but the curtains were down and you couldn’t see a thing. And there wasn't a single, solitary sound out of that house after that “Now, you can’t tel! me that man didn't hit her and knock her out, and from what I know now, my idea is that he didn’t hit her with his fist. He hit her with some sort of a club and he killed her. That’s what I think, Mr. Lam. He killed her!” “What makes you think so?” I asked. “Well, I told you I thought so. Actually I know so. Now I’m going to tell you how I know it, Mr. Lam. “I went and got a robe and sat up there by that window, waiting to see what happened. And I saw that man come out of the back door of his house and walk over to the garage where the car was parked, and do you know what he was carrying?" “What was he carrying?" “He was carrying a great big bundle over his shoulder, something that had been rolled up in a rug, it looked tike. Or a blanket Something dark. And do you know what that was, Mr. Lam?" “What do you think it was?” “It isn’t what I think it was. It’s what I know it was. He was carrying the body of that woman."

mUL Got. on tV At Little Rock's Central High School, a crowd gathered at the opening of classes but dispersed soon when it became obvious there would be no racial problem there today. National Guard troops again ringed that school, however, to prevent integration. Faubus appeared on a national television network news conference Sunday night (ABC’s “Open Hearing”) to state more firmly than ever that he was determined to prevent integrattion of Little Rock schools at this time. The governor insisted that: —He does not oppose integration and that in fact his own son, Farrell Faubus, is enrolling today at an integrated college. —He feels the federal government’s "only alternative” is to give in to the state in the present situation.

—He has support from other states in his fight and could get “militia volunteers” should the Arkansas National Guard be federalized into the U.S. Army because of his defiance.
