Sbarron will sing in the annual contest. Interest is high in the contest for the Queen title and indications are there will be plenty of competition. —o o-—— Congratulations to Herman Krueckeberg, Decatur banker, who has been named secretarytreasurer of Region I, Indiana Bankers Association. Region I includes banks in thirteen northern counties. Mr. Krueckeberg has been active in Decatur civic affaire for many years, and his friends and acquaintances know he will make an excellent regional officer. C - "O The Milwaukee Braves weathered the Yankee storm and took their first World Championship back to Milwaukee. While it took seven games to decide the winner, the Braves never gave up and the superb pitching of Lou Burdette who won three of the Braves’ four game* made him the outstanding moundsman of the year. It was a wonderful ser- ' ies and baseball will now surrender to football. The players will get a well-deserved rest for a couple of months before starting training for the 1958 season when an the series excitement will be turned up again. ‘ ..... o A federal grand jury in South Bend has indicted several major oil companies in that area for conspiring to control retail prices of gasoline and oil. The control of is not unusual and IBialers in almost every, county in Indiana could be guilty of the same offense. Perhaps if some nasty practice of price fixing ijtiff fines were meted out, the would step in numerous businisses and professions. t 4 —

We Warn on pretty good authority that the bright object seen in the sky here the middle of the week was a jet plane, which the ray* of the sun was bitting to make it took like a bright light. It was headed in such a direction so as to make it visible for some time. Soybean day, annual Decatur event, which will be held in connection with the annual ruralurban fish tty, October 24. should draw a record crowd for the entire day. The event which started last year was such a success that the Chamber of Commerce decided to make it annual affair. Tickets, on sale at several Decatur stores win be at a premium tong before the date of the big event. o .... o■ — Kenneth Marlin, director of conservation has declared open season on waterfoul* in Indiana to be from October 28 to January 3 with no open season on wood ducks, mourning doves or swan. The pheasant season has been set in Indiana ofr November 11 to November 23, excepting Sunday with a bag limit of three. There will be only a two-day season, November 11 to 13 in Franklin, Dearborn, Ohio, and Switzerland counties and there will be no deer season any place in the state. o Kohler Manufacturing Co., Kohler, Wis., whose employes have been on strike for more titan three years received a ruling from the federal labor board which might be the beginning of the end of the long and sometimes bloody affair. Os course both sides will have to give a little but indications are the strike might be settled and normal manufacture by the great concern win start again. Kohler has never shut down and has continued to manufacture plumbing and heating equipment much to the distaste of the United Auto Workers. Let’s hope for an early settlement favorable to all concerned.

I CHAPTER 32 SERGEANT FRANK SELLERS jammed a foot on the starter and swept the police cruiser in a circle away from the curb, “Where are you going now?" I asked. “Where do you think? I’m taking Jerry here back to San Bernardino. Then I’m going home. And the next time you come along with one of your brainstorms, Lara, Im going to—" “You keep driving in this direction and they’ll laugh you off the force. Turn around and drive out the other way toward Twentynine Palms.” “For what?” he asked. “What do you think?” I asked him. He drove on for nearly two minutes. Then the car slowed. He pulled in to the curb, turned and looked at me, studying my face in the waning light, chewing his Cigar.. Jerry, the San Bernardino deputy, kept his face straight ahead. His attitude was that he didn’t want any part of me or any of my ideas. I said to Sellers, “You’ve got so much invested now, another hour and a half isn’t going to make any difference.” Sellers thought that over for a moment. Then he started out from the curb, and suddenly whipped the car into a U-turn. He said over his shoulder to me, "I’m going all the way, pint-size. AM because I think you know what you’re doing, but because Pm not going to leave you any loophole. This time you won’t have a leg to stand on.” Wanda Warren tried to ease the tension in a voice that was dripping with sex. She said, ‘‘When do we eat?” “We don’t,” Seilers told her, and set the speedometer needle quivering. ‘Turn on the road to Twentynine Patois,” I told Sellers. He gave no indication that he had heard me, but swung the car to the left at the intersection, and we started climbing up through the Morongo Valley until we came to Yucca. “We turn to the left down here a ways,” I told him. ‘Take it easy so I can keep my bearings.” It was a job finding the dirt roads after dark. Wanda Warren slid over and todk my right hind in hers. She held it as though it represented a tangible token of reassurance, squeezing it once in a while. Luck waa with me. I remembered every one of the intersections, and finally the headlights showed the little, rutted driveway going up to the dilapidated cabin. ‘Turn here,* I told Sellers. He turned the car. The headlights showed the cockeyed doot

with the canvas patch over tne hole. "Swing your lights so they shine out back of the house,” I told him. “There’s a little mound of earth you want to illuminate. Wait! There it was! You went too far. Bring it back. Okay, that’s it! Let’s go.” I got out of the car. The others followed me. I led the way up to the wooden platform. “We've got to lift this,” I said. Sellers reached down without a word, clamped his big hands cm one corner of the heavy platform, lifted it and spun it back to one side. “Careful you don’t fall,” I warned. Sellers recoiled from the black interior that had opened up. “Give me a hand with this, Jerry,” he said. “Let’s get the whole thing cleared. I want to see the whole business.” We lifted the platform entirely away from the square shaft. "You got that flashlight?” Sell1 ers asked. Jerry gave him the flashlight 1 and Sellers directed it down the ' shaft. “Okay,” Sellers said to me, . “what is it?” “This is it,” I told him. i The San Bernardino deputy leaned over the shaft, looked i down it thoughtfully, then tested : the ladder. “I’ll go down," he said. “Okay,” Sellers told him. “It’s , your county." The deputy tested the rungs ’ on the ladder, inching his way ! down bit by bit, keeping his head • down so that the brim of his hat : shaded his eyes. Sellers played the flashlight down the shaft. ! The deputy had a flashlight in i his pocket, and when he got to , the bottom we could see the beam playing around. , . “I’m going to need that shovel,’’ s -he called up. “Coming down,” Sellers said. He fastened a light rope to the handle of the shovel, let it down i the shaft until E waa at the bots tom. 1 We heard the deputy say, i “Okay,” then heard the edge of s the shovel scraping against a rock, then silence for a minute. t Then suddenly Jerry called out, t ‘Tm coming up, Sergeant” ’ Sellers held the beam of the t flashlight We watched the deputy coming up the ladder. Sellers caught him under the arms and helped him up as he reached the 1 level of the desert i, “Come over here," the deputy said to Sellers. They walked away to where :- their voices were only a low murs mur and talked for about a mini- ute and a half.■/Q i en Sellers came d back. “Jerry’s going to stay here,” he said. “We’re going into Yucca.” t- “What is it?”. Wanda Warren «r asked. “What’s the trouble?”

Mission Festival At Zion Lutheran A goal of $1,500 has been set as a special mission offering at Zion Lutheran church, West Monroe and Eleventh streets, as the congregation Sunday celebrates its annual mission festival at the two morning worship services—B:oo and 10:30 o’clock, "Missions in Three Dimensions," based on Luke 24 , 45-50, is the mission day pulpit theme of the pastor, the Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt. The local church's mission budget for 1957 is $7,752, and 20 percent of that amount is expected to be gathered tomorrow. Zion Lutheran congregation is affiliated with the Lutheran church-Missouri synod, an International church federation of 5,800 congregations, carrying out a world program under 16 flags, supporting the Lutheran Hour, international radio broadcast, the television hour “This Is The Life,” and carrying an operating budget for 1957 of $14,200,000. At noon Sunday a pot-luck family dinner will be sponsored by the Zion missionary society in the parish hall, and the quarterly meeting of the congregational assembly will be held in the church nave at 1:80 p.m. The people of Decatur who have no church-home are invited to attend the mission day services at Zion Lutheran. Leadership School Will Close Monday Dr. W. R.

“Nothing,” Sellers said, and led the way toward the car. “We’ll sit three in front," Sellers said. Then suddenly he turned to me and said, “Okay, pint-size, you win!”--He gripped my hand in his and the fervor of his grip showed the extent of his relief. We drove to Yucca. It was a place where they rolled up the sidewalks when it got dark, but there was a telephone booth and Sellers put through a couple of calls. After he had finished I said, .‘Tve got a couple of calls to make.” He made no objection. I called the newspaperman in Banning who had given me the break. “Ring up the San Bernardino paper," I told him. “Tell them to start covering the sheriff’s office right away, and if you come up to Yucca and stick around, you'll probably get in on something.” “On what?” he asked. "Something important" “Worth making a trip up there at night?” "A whale of a story,” I told him. I hung up and called the Dartmouth Hotel. Luck was with me. Corning was in his room. I said, "This is Donald- Lam. I’ve found Mrs. Wells.” “Yes, yes,” he said. “Where are you, Lam?” "Right at the moment I’m at a place called Yucca on the road to Twentynine Palms.” — * “What in blazes are you doing up there?” ‘That’s the nearest telephone." “You say you've found Mrs. Wells?” "Yes. She's at the Aaron Bedford section of lafici out west of ‘The devil she is!" “That’s right” “Now, look,. Lam,” Corning said, “I wasn’t born yesterday. You’ve had this girl tied up ever since early this afternoon. Now, what’s the idea of going out there in order to tell me you’ve found her?” "When you get out here, I’ll tell you.” “Damn it!" he sputtered. “You could have had her in my room ;>tn the hotel within twenty min> utes of the time I signed that 1 promise to give you a bonus. ,You—” “Do you want to argue?" I asked. “Or do you want to see ' Mrs. Wells?” “I want to see her." •Then haul yourself out here," I told him, and hung’up. “Corning took one look at > the death-distorted features > and staggered off to lhe outer i rim of darkness." Tomorrow I the story continues to a climax.
