The Asiatic flu is starting to spread through this nation and pneumonia is one of the results. Every citizen should consult his family physician as to when the vaccine serum will be available to the public and take the precaution as quickly as possible. O Decatur continues to have good shopping crowds and it is no wonder. You can visit any trading center or city business section in northern Indiana and compare prices and service.

Governor Handley has sidestepped the time question and has shifted the entire burden to his attorney general. We're disappointed but not at all surprised. Every day reveals how clearly we muffed our opportunity when we elected him Governor. He has not once rjsen to meet any occasion and his record when he was President of the Senate should have told us what to expect. o o—— The Arkansas situation is becoming critical and surely it is time to prevent more disorder and rioting, even if it is necessary to halt desegregation. It is important of course to observe the laws of the nation, but it is more important to save human lives. This is no time for muddling and we could even have a small war on our hands if government officials are not careful. It is easy for us to sit here, where we do not have the segregation problem, and say what we'd do. We must' remember that the South has had the negro problem for many years and to change their procedure of handling the situation is not easy, even with laws to enforce the problem. Let's be patient and hope that the President and his staff are big enough, competent enough and far-sighted enough to meet the question and solve it. o—o Wayne Coy, former member of the President Roosevelt staff and then head of the Communications Commission under President Truman, died suddenly this week at a banquet in Indianapolis, where , the Coy family.had recently returned. He started his long career in public service under the late Governor Paul McNutt and went with the latter to the Philippines. On his return, he became connected with the Roosevelt administration. Lately he had been connected with Time, Inc., as president of a television company. Shortly after his college days at Franklin he became affilliated with the Democrat party and was an active Democrat until his death. He was a good administrator and honest and efficient public servant. He had suffered several serious lung ailments, but the heart condition was unexpected. The Democrat party has lost a tireless worker and the state has lost a grand citizen.

FAIR (ERIE STANLEY GARDNERS

CHAPTER 20 I WENT OVER to where I’d left * the agency heap and drove down to the sheriff’s office. A deputy who was friendly to me put the call through to Texas and I traced the license number on Coming’s car. It was his car all right He lived in San Antonio. The deputy called the sheriff in San Antonio. He knew Coming. Coming was a fast trader. He had made a fortune out of getting options on oil property. He was considered a ruthless fighter, a bad man to cross, and had the reputation of being Just about as slick as they come. I drove out to San Bernardino. They couldn’t give me much Information at the newspaper office. They had received a clipping from a San Antonio paper stating that Aaron Bedford had died, that his will had been offered for probate by his widow, that all of the property in Texas was given to the widow, that there was a fifteen-thousand-dol-lar bequest and a section of land in San Bernardino County that was left to his niece, Yvonne Clymer. A little scouting around had disclosed that Yvonne Clymer had lived in Burbank but was now Mrs. Drury Wells. The girl had phoned a friend they were going to Banning to live. The editor thought it would make a good local-interest story. He’d telephoned a Banning correspondent to look into it The Banning correspondent had reported that Mrs. Wells was easy on the eyes. So they’d decided to send out a photographer and make a short feature with plenty of cheesecake. I got the name of the correspondent in Banning and drove out there. It was getting dark by the time 1 pulled in. 1 hunted the guy up and bought him a drink. He remembered the case very well. He’d gone to Wells and had been the first to give him the news. Mrs. Weljs had been on a trip visiting relatives but was about due home. Wells said he’d phone her and get her back. He took the correspondent’s number and said he’d telephone as soon as she got back home. The next morning he’d telephoned and—- • The next morning?’’ 1 asked. "That’s right, the next morning” "Not that night?” "She was somewhere in Sacramento. She flew right back,” he explained. "1 see. So he telephoned you and you went out there?” "That’s right." "And then what happened?" "As soon as 1 sawthis babe, I knew she’d make swell copy.

toward you is too big, or too well done, or has too much fat on it, is it all right to search through the portions until you find a suitable piece? A. Yes, if you can do so without taking too much time or without disarranging the whole dish. Q. When writing a thank-you note to a relative who has sent a check as a birthday gift, should one mention how the money is going to be used? A. When not exactly necessary, this still is a nice thing to da Q. Should a girl wear mourning after the death of her fiance? A. This is not customary, although she may wear some modified type of mourning, if she wishes. It is entirely optional. Foresters Counted CHICAGO — an — The American Forest Products Industries, Inc., reported that more than 7,000 foresters were employed in forest industries in the United States in 1956. The non-profit organization reported that another 1,200 foresters worked as consultants or managers for private non-industrial woodlands. If you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. it brings results.

So I telephoned the desk in San Bernardino to see how far they wanted me to go. The editor said it’d be good for a feature, and he was sending out a reporter and photographer. He said the art would make the story—cheesecake." "Did you feel sore he sent out another man?” ■"No. It showed the editor thought I’d dug up a good story. This is a sideline with me. I do some free lancing. I’m working for a steady Job” "Do you know anything about the property?" "Hell, no, I couldn’t build up any reader-enthusiasm over a section of land out in the desert, but I knew 1 could sure get reader-enthusiasm over the equipment this Mrs. Wells had.” "Can you give me Uje address of the place they were living?” "It's in that article,” he said. "You have a copy of that, haven’t you?” "That’s right.” “It’s a rented house,” he said. "They hadn’t been there very long. I didn’t find out too much about Wells. I imagine he’s a drifter and just between you and me, Lam, 1 wouldn’t be surprised if there was something phony about the wedding ceremony." “What makes you say that?" “Oh, Just the way you get impressions when you interview people. A certain atmosphere of domesticity waq lacking, and this babe — Hell, I don’t know. I just got an impression. You know how those things go. "All I was after was the story of the local housewife who had inherited fifteen thousand smackeroos and a section of land from a rich Texas relative. It would have been an average story if she’d been homely and had toilworn hands and unpaid bills. When I saw Mrs. Wells, 1 knew the babe’s legs would make it a swell story. They made it okay." "You didn’t talk with any of the neighbors, or anything?” “No. I got the facts and lined up the story. The leg photos were what made it interesting. Now tell me, what is all the shooting about?” I said, "I’m interested in trying to find Mrs. Wella” “Why?" “There are some documents that should be. signed.” "The Wellses are in Los Angeles someplace," he said, "What’s the angle on the documents ? Anything that would make me a story?” "Somebody wants to make an offer on the property.” "Why?” I shrugged my shoulders. "Now. look,” he said, “let me know if any sale goes through,

Capital City Over Desegregation Hump Capital's Schools Now In Fourth Year By LOUIS CASSELS United Fress Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, (UP) — Education officials believe the district of Columbia public school system is over the hump in the biggest desegregation job yet undertaken Schools in this capital city, where Negro students outnumber white students by a 7 to 3 ratio, are now in theij- fourth year of completely integrated classes at all levels from kindergarten through high school. “We still have many problems, as all schools have,” Superintendent Hobart M. Corning said. “But we are graduauly solving them. On the whole, we feel that desegregation has gone unusually well here.” His appraisal was seconded by a high school principal, Mr j. Elva C. Wells, who told a House investigating subcommittee last year that integration had produced serious disciplinary and academic difficulties. Student Behavior Improved Mrs Wells said student behavior has improved considerably since then, and the average level of academic achievement has risen “substantially.” About 65 per cent of the sttudents in Mrs. Well's school — Roosevelt High — are Negroes (The overall population of the District of Columbia is about 56 per cent white, 44 per cent Negro. The proportion of Negroes in thte schools is higher than in the general population, school officials said, because the average Negro family has more children than the average white family. Moreover, many white residents of the district are unmarried government workers.) Dr. Charles E. Bish, principal of McKinley High School, said teachers and students of both races are getting "adjusted to the new situation.” The results of this more “relaxed" atmosphere are showing all along the line, he said. Teachers are Encouraged “Our teachers report encouraging forward strides in the quality of the work that the students are doing,” he said. Bish said McKinley students seem to be taking a “greater interest” in academic achievement this year. He cited, for example, a higher enrollment in classes in languages, science and higher mathematics

or if you find out anything more. We always like to get a followup, on these local stories. That country up around Yucca is hotter than a stove lid right now. It seems like half of Los Angeles is moving up there.” "Okay,” I told him. ’Til let you know if we get anything of great interest. Thanks for the buggy ride.” "Somebody must be awfully damned anxious to buy that property,” he said thoughtfully. “I don’t think so,” I told him. "Somebody might be awfully anxious to steal it, but I don’t think anybody wants to pay very much of a price for it.” "Anyhow, you're trying to find her?” ‘That’s right.” •That might make a story.” "Not now, it wouldn’t. It might later on." "If 1 hold off publishing anything now, you’ll give me anything that comes up later on?” "That’s a deal,” 1 told him, “provided there’s any release to the press. I’ll give you the inside track.” "Okay,” he told me. ‘That’ll help.” I spent Saturday night in a motel in Banning. No one knew where 1 was. The mountain air was cold and dry and clear. The motel was back a block from the highway. - 1 went to sleep listening to the muted sound of traffic from the main highway—huge trucks roaring their way up the pass from the Imperial Valley, and in the background the high-p itched whine of speeding automobiles. I woke to a crisp, clear Sunday morning, dressed, shaved, went to a restaurant, had amber coffee and cream,! a thick slice of ham and a couple of eggs. I finished up with an extra order of toast and another cup of coffee, then got in the agency car, glided down the highway to the turn-off to Twentynine Palms and was soon climbing the winding grade which lifted me up above the pass onto a plateau well covered with weird Joshua trees, huge straggly shapes which thrust grotesque arms up into the deep blue of the sky. 1 had been worried and tense the night before. Now I had a feeling of calm relaxation and the assurance that things would come out all right. The mountain air had done its work. “I climbed up to a little hill and took a good look all aroupd. I realized what a vulnerable position I was in—” ’ Continue Donald's story here tomorrow.

Tardiness and absenteeism are higher than before integration But as for insolence, unruliness, fights and other serious midconduct—we just haven’t had any real trouble of that kind.” Sex No Problem He knew of no instance in which a student brought a knife or any kind of weapon to school. He said sex “has not been a problem.” Miss Margarent Peppre, executive assistant to the superintendent of city schools, said her office has received “two or three reports at most “about boys of one race "annoying” girls of another. She said no sexual attacks or “serious molestations” have been reported. The house subcommittee which investigated local schools last year was headed by Rep. James C. Davis (D-Ga.) Davis and three other southerners on the subcommittee issued a report urging that district schools be re-segregated. They said integration had drasti-i cally lowered academic levels. I
