There is considerable fall construction under way in the Decatur area and several new homes are in the process of completion. This is a healthy condition and it signifies the faith which local people have in Decatur. — o— From the looks of the previews of winter television shows, it doesn't look like much of a winter of entertainment On each half hour show you get about fifteen minutes of drama or song and the balance in cheap and many times misleading advertising. All of this adds up to millions of people seeking some other form of entertainment, and we don’t blame them. ' O ■ "O ■■— College football assumed the spotlight this last week-end and by next Saturday all major college teams will swing into action. Sport experts are again picking Oklahoma as the best in the nation. There will be many good games and we’re due for some surprises too. Major sports interest will be focused on the World Series early in October, then football will be king for the next two months. ——o 0 The President, as usual, has pussyfooted on his power, duty and authority on the Arkansas school segregation matter and then he expresses wonderment at why people fail to comply with his requests. The recent Congress passed a law and prior to that the Supreme court had ruled against segregation in public schools. Why we should tolerate for a second some Peanut Governor disregarding the laws and making his own is beyond our understanding. It o-—c Sunday, October 6, is the start erf Fire Prevention week. It is an important event each year, not a celebration, but an observance. It is a week in which all persons are reminded the importance of taking all possible precaufen against fires, at home, whs£ you work, and in your automobile, and in hunting and picnicking areas. In fact we should be most careful always concerning "the possibility of damaging fires. It also is a week when we are asked to examine our fire insurance policies and make certain that we have the proper coverage. _

If it isn’t for big business,- the President apparently would rather play golf. There seems to be no place for the Joe Smiths to turn for aid. Charley Massonne, well-known Decatur man, lost his long battle with death and finally succumbed Monday of thia week. ’’Chis’* as he was known by his many friends, was a home-grown philosopher and always had an encouraging word for a neighbor or acquaintance. He was employed for many years at Kohne Drug store but had been confined to his home the last few years with his illness. He loved to have visitors and always would take the opportunity of catching up on local news. We join his friends la offering condolence to his family. He was a good family man and splendid citizen. "■ . -o —o- — The state tax board representative will take a last look at Adams county's proposed tax rates Sept. 30 and then will finally set the rate. The meeting is open to the public, but if it is like other tax hearings, there will be very few people who will appear. We have had every opportunity to object to the various proposals, which as they now stand are the highest in our county’s history, and as citizens we have failed miserably to look after our own interests. We’ll do a lot of grumbling and groaning, but just remember, nothing was done in secret and we had ample opportunities to object, but we chose the “let George do it” attitude. As a result taxes will continue to rise. —o o—— Rev. Harold J. Bond has been installed as pastor of First Presbyterian Church here and has been welcomed by his congregation. Installation was held last Sunday night, followed by a reception. Best evidence that Rev. Bond will be successful in Decatur is the fact that he has proved to be a good Minister and good citizen in other places. It was a fine tribute to the new Minister and good proof that the selecting committee had made a wise choice, that a number of Hartford City Presbyterians attended the services here. He was formerly located at Hartford City. We welcome the Bond family to our city of fine Churches, good schools and Christian citizens. /

He was a good traffic driver. i saw that ne didn’t want to give me any information, and I certainly didn't want to give him any. i settled back and let him do the driving. We turned off into Frostmore Road, ran up to the Wells house.i He slammed on the brakes and 1 got out of the car. “I’ll want to talk with Mrs. Wells privately tor a few minutes, Lam,“ he said, “then I’ll want you as a witness." “Okay," 1 told him. “You go on in and meet her. I’ll go over to talk with Mrs. Raleigh." He went on up the steps to the porch, and 1 moved over to the Raleigh house. Mr*. Raleigh was waiting at the door for me. “Well, there you are, Mr. Lam! You know I’m worried half sick. People have been out here asking ■ lot of questions." “Tell me. about It," I said. “Well, it’s a story. Two women came out nere. They told me Wells had filed some sort of court action against you." “Anything else?” “Some lawyer came out He had a stenographer with mm. They got a statement from me. They didn’t leave me a copy ot that statement? The stenographer had a portable typewriter with her and she typed the thing out. 1 read it over hastily, but it seemed to be all right 1 signed it and then that girl reached down into a brief case and pulled out a little notarial seal, and said, *Hold up your right hand.' "1 held up my right hand and she said. Do you solemnly swear this is true?’ I did. Then this girl said, ‘You solemnly swear, and clamped a seal on it She signed it as a notary public and handed it to the attorney. He didn’t wait for me to say a word. He was out of that door like a shot" “What did you tell him in the affidavit?” 1 asked her. “Just the truth. That’s all.” “Let’s get this thing straight, Mrs. Raleigh. You remember 1 came out here and asked you about the people next door?" “That’s right." •And you told me that you had heard a fight over there and the sound of a blow, and then he had come out carrying what could have been a body on his shoulder, loaded it Into the automobile, gone back of the garage, got a pick and shovel and taken off; that he came back two hours and forty-five minutes later and was in the kitchen for a short

You remember you told me you Celt satisfied that he'd killed her?" "Killed her!" she exclaimed. “That’s what you said.” “Why, 1 never told you any such thing. Mister Lam!” she said. “What on earth are you ‘talking about? You asked me about the people over there, and [you asked me how they got on . and 1 told you 1 thought they •got on all right, except they had had one pretty bad fight one night and I’d heard the sound of angry voices, but .1 couldn't near the words. 1 said that he'd gone out for a while, but 1 didn’t say anything about ms carrying a body over his shoulder. What are you trying to do, put words right in my mouth?" “Not a body,” 1 said patiently. “You told me it was something wrapped up tn a rug or a blanket, and that it swayed and wiggled just like a body.” “Why the very idea! I never told you any such thing! 1 told you that 1 saw him come out of the house, but it was dark and 1 couldn’t see well. He had something over his shoulder. 1 guess it could have been almost anything. But what 1 told you was it was either a blanket or a rug.” The doorbell rang impatiently. She was up out of the chair like a shot. She flung the door opea and a moment later Coming came striding Into the room. “Where’s Mrs. Wells this morning?” he asked. “She doesn’t seem to be home. No one seems to be home.” “Well, well, I guess she isn’t home, Mr.— You’ve been out here before, but I can’t rememBer.” said Mrs. Raleigh. "Corning," I said. "Lawton C. Coming of Texas.” “Oh, yes, Mr. Corning." "There’s no one home over there,” Corning said. “Where's Mrs. Wells? Was she home last night?” ' ’Tin sure I couldn’t say. I have a husband to keep house for, and cooking to do. I try to be a good neighbor, but Tm certainly not snooping around into my neighbor’s business. I was busy last evening.” "See any lights on over there?” I asked. "1 don’t think I even looked.” Corn Ing and 1 exchanged glances. "Say. what’s the matter with you?” Coming asked. "Nothing's the matter with me,” she said self-righteously. “But Tm certainly not going to get the reputation of being a

David Smith Works Feature Attraction At Museum Os Art The work of David Smith, a nephew of Fred Smith of this city, is the feature attraction at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Miss Frances Dugan reports after returning from that city. Smith, the son of Harvey Smith, formerly of this city, lived in Decatur until 1921. when the family moved to Paulding, 0., where they now live. Smith was ’one of the first American sculptors to pioneer in free-standing, open metal forma. He creates his art in his Bolton Landing, New York, studio, using an electric torch to cut the iron and steel. He was inspired in this field in 1933 hy an issue of Cahiers d'Art devoted to Picasso’s iron constructions. According to the 36-page, illustrated booklet devoted to his life and works, Smith is considered a conservative in modern art, because he adheres to strict forms and iron and steel work. The prevailing tendency, according to the book, are anti-formal, and the new creations function mainly as metaphors which suggest meanings. Because his work lacks this. Smith is considered the most "old-fashioned’’ member of the modern sculptural generation. Smith has been honored with numerous one-man shows all over the country. SALLY SAYS ...

(busybody. Why. that lawyer that was out here intimated that I —" “What lawyer ?’’ Corning snapped. “The lawyer that was out here i with the woman 1 thought was his secretary. They asked me some questions, and then that woman opened a portable typewriter, put it right on her lap and just kept typing all the time 1 was talking. When 1 got done, , they handed me that paper to read and sign.” "A lawyer?” “Yes, a lawyer." “Did ne tell you what he wanted?" . „ __ “Well, he told me that he was representing Mr. Wells and that Mr. Wells was going to find out who was responsible tor spreading the word around that be tiad murdered his wife, and whoever was responsible was going to have to settle up in court. He asked me if I had spread the rumor and I told him certainly not: 1 told him some people had been out talking with me and had asked me a few questions but that / hadn’t ever said Wells had murdered his wife, or anything like that. Why, the woman I was home there all day before yesterday, fixing up the place and l everything. How could anyone have thought she’d been tnuri dered?" A slow grin spread over Com- ! ing’s face. "Now 1 begin to see a great light You say the lawyer was out with a secretary and they took a written statement from you. Did you sign it, Mrs. Raleigh?” —— “Os course I signed it I guess 1 swore to it too. I’m kind ot bothered about it because they i didn’t leave me a copy. That woman had me hold up my right hand and then she said. That’s the truth so help you God, and 1 said, ’Yes it is,’ and she reached in her brief case and pulled out one of these seals that you stamp in th* paper, and she just clamped that seal right down on the paper, then she signed it and handed it to the attorney.” “You made an affidavit," Corning said. “If you change whatever you said in that affidavit, you’d be guilty of perjury." "Well, how’s a body to know what she said in an affidavit if the people don’t leave her a copy of what she’s signed?” “Under those circumstances," Coming said, "the only safe thing to do is to say nothing and, above all. don’t sign anything, Mrs. Raleigh. So Mrs. Wells has gone away again, has she?” •You can die laughing!" Donald has reason to exclaim a* the story continues here Monday.
