The promised warm weather felled to materialize in this are* and there art indications now that the coming week-end will be cool and clear. o- o. —. Time is a good healer and maybe in a few days tempers will cool off sufficiently to get something worked out with the southern Governors. ——O o— Gov. Handley continues to harp away on the fact that the state does not want any financial assistance from the government. Maybe if we’d take a little aid, our taxes could be cut - O ' Ford continues to lead Chevrolet, with Plymouth third in the sales race for auto leadership In the nation. The figures are based on new car registration by states, not on production figures. ——o o— Business and Professional women’s clubs throughout the nation are holding their 39th annual observance this week. The Decatur organization has been a strong club for many years and it is joining in the national week of observance. Mrs. Hubert Feasel is the local president. —-o—o— —- More than 14,000 workmen were killed by on the job accidents and more than two million were injured, according to safety council statistics. More than 235 mil- • lan man hours were lost by accidents and according to the council many of the mishaps were avoidable. Steps will be taken at the 45th national safety congress October 21 to 25 to eliminate many causes of work-time accidents. O '" O'" - The action of Governor Faubus of Arkansas, in defying the federal government on the integration of school children is not only Illegal but most disgraceful. It reminds one of the defiant attitude attempted by our neighboring city to the north concerning the tjfme statute in Indiana, ft seemi popular now to disregard state land federal laws if a few peop4 don’t like them. The laws themjglves and the Constitution provide legal means for erasing undesireable laws. Let’s follow that procedure and have orderly government.

Big midwest college football game of the week will take place Saturday at Lafayette when Purdue meets Notre Dame. Last year the Boilermakers lambasted the Irish, and they should win again this year. Notre Dame, however, always is dangerous and could well turn the tables. It's always a good game and the rivalry is heated. Coach Brennan is fighting for his job too this year and must make a better showing than he did a year ago. o ■■■• - Some form of time uniformity is slowly working out of the turmoil. Os course people can get up and go to bed and eat meals at any time they care to. They always could. Those taxing units that wink at the law will be penalized. We are surprised at the school corporations which ask so much from the state. A good many of them plan to continue in defiance of the statute. Still these schools have the job of teaching law and order to their pupils. It’s a great world. O'. The Adams county civic music association has announced the opening of the 1957-758 concert season with two French pianists, Josette and Yvette Roman. The events will be held at the Youth and Community Center and admittance will be the same as last year’s programs, by membership cards only. Tickets for this years attractions were sold early and assurred a full house for each event. The varied musical entertainment is most popular throughout Adams county. — O .. O'"— Bag Service Executive vicepresident and general manager Lowell Harper has announced several promotions at bls plant effective immediately. E. E. Rydell has become treasurer and assistant to Mr. Harper and Mrs. Vivian Painter has been chosen assistant treasurer. Dwight Myers has become plant manager and several others have been‘advanced in the organization. These promotions have been made because of faithful and efficient service and we congratulate these workers and executives. Bag Service under the Harper management has become one of Decatur’s leading industries.

CHAPTER 21 1 STOPPED in Yucca tor another cup of coffee, picked up a map and asked a few questions. The place was crazy over uranium. People were coming and going with all sorts of outfits: tents, bedrolls, tarps, shovels, mapa, compass—all the paraphernalia of prospecting. The best way to avoid attracting too much attention was to pose as a uranium prospector. 1 found a place that rented Geiger counters and scintillators, sold pamphlets filled with instructions for locating uranium ore, telling how to stake out mining claims, and furnishing bits of advice. 1 went the whole works. I bought pamphlets, rented the last Geiger counter they had, asked a lot of foolish questions and managed to get myself sufficiently oriented so 1 felt I could find the section of land I wanted. As I started out, I felt certain that no one had pegged me as a detective. I was just another weekend prospector looking for uranium. Uranium! Suddenly something clicked in my mind. How did I know that Corning was interested in oil? I had told Bertha there was no oil up there, that when you dug down you'd come to granite and when you got down below the granite you'd find more granite. That wasn't oil country, but It was darn good uranium country. There bad been a few strikes up there, and people were combing the mountains, for the most part staying away from ground that bore any evidence of private ownership. My discreet inquiries had resulted in information that a man had lived on the section of land at one time, that there was an old cabin on it, that the tenant had gone broke trying to sink a welt He had been an old-time miner, had picked up a bunch of railroad ties cheap and, using them to timber a shaft, had started sinking a deep well looking for water. When the well turned out to be a big dry hole and he'd gone broke digging it, he’d thrown up his lease and moved away. I picked my way along a network of dirt roads over a rolling nlateau country and finally came to a place which looked to be the place I wanted. The road ran along the section line and I was able to find the section corner. 1 followed the road to the other section corner, checked with my compass, and had a pretty good idea of the lay of the land. Tbs old dilapidated eabin had

No; her wedding should be as simple as possible, and she should have just one attendant. Mefferd Enrolls At Indiana Technical Lynn E.

been put together out of available materials and been patched with any old thing that came in handy. There were scrap lumber, pieces of corrugated iron, five-gallon tin cans that had been cut open, spread out flat and nailed into place.

A cockeyed door had developed a hole and the hole had been covered with canvas. The door swung lopsided on its binges. The interior of the place smelled of pack rats and that peculiar stale odor which inevitably comes to an uninhabited cabin. A pile of old magazines down in the comer showed where mice had been nibbling at the edges of the periodicals to get material for nests. A bunk bed against the northeast wall was still covered with the remnants of old pine boughs, now dried to the point of brittle harshness. A stove with one good leg had been propped up with bricks so that it was fairly level. A cupboard even contained the remnants of some crockery. The floor was littered with paper, broken glass, and rubbish. I looked around the place and for some time couldn't find any indication of the well. Then I saw a mound of earth, walked over and saw what appeared to be an old platform of some sort. I picked up a comer, raised it and almost immediately felt the chill of cold air. I was looking down a hole some five feet square, which descended straight into the darkness of the earth. I replaced the platform which was serving as a wooden shield, went back to the car, got my Geiger counter, and started exploring. I had some faint indications. I followed them back to a granite ledge, followed the granite ledge and ran out of indications. Here and there I got enough reaction on the Geiger counter to make it interesting. I walked and climbed, explored and mapped until my legs were weary. I'd had a few Interesting reactions, but nothing definite. I started back to my car. It had been a good way to spend the day and that was all. I was easing myself into the car when suddenly I got the idea.

I took the Geiger counter, walked back to the well, raised a comer of the platform, wrestled It off the well, and looked down. I didn't have a flashlight, and I couldn’t see the bottom, but it seemed to be well timbered and a ladder was nailed to the timbers going down, a perpendicular ladder which followed the best mining practice. I tentatively tested the rungs. They seemed sound and solid.

I elimbed up to a little hill back of the well and took a good long look all around. I realized what a very vulnerable position rd be In if the wrong person should come along and find me down in the hole. 1 tied the Geiger counter around my neck, carefully tested "the rungs on the ladder and started down. It was dark and dry with a peculiar musty smell which for the moment 1 couldn't place. I went on down until the square hole at the top appeared to be about the size of a postage stamp. The smell became more noticeable. The ladder still seemed to be firm, but suddenly I decided I’d had enough. 1 had a feeling of claustrophobia. I clung to the ladder, looked longingly up at the patch of blue sky, unlimbered the Geiger counter and turned it on. The thing lit up like a pinball machine. I could hear a crackling in the earphone which sounded like machine guns. !• swung the Geiger counter back over my shoulder, gripped the rungs of the ladder and went up like a monkey, despite my weary legs. When I finally emerged into the afternoon sunlight of the open air, I sucked in a deep lungful and found I was covered with sweat and shaking like a leaf. I climbed back up to the raised ground and looked around. I couldn’t see a soul. I tugged and pulled until I had the platform back in place over the well. 1 went back to the car and drove back to Yucca. I returned the rented Geiger counter, got the balance of my deposit and had to amwer the stereotyped inquiries: “Didn’t find anything, did you? Well, you have to keep looking, but it’s up here all right. If you could find it in a day we’d all be millionaires. But tt’S here. You never know when you're going to strike it... Well, come back any time, just prowl around up here, it won’t do you any harm, and it may do you a lot of good. ... A feller who’s a bookkeeper been coming up here every week for the last three months made a rich strike a month ago. Guess you read about it in the paper?" “West of here?" I asked. “This was off to the east But it’s all around here." “Okay” 1 told him, “I’ll be seeing you again." I got back in my car and returned to Banning. Yon can never be sure what your neighbors may tell about you. Continue the story here tomorrow. -
