Trick and treat Halloween funsters will rule the neighborhoods these next few nights. Better take home a little candy to pass out to the kiddies. It might save you some soapy windows. I o ... O Indiana University's 14-7 football victory, for which we are most glad proves another interesting point. Vlllanova, the victim from the east is regarded as an above average football team. The loss to Indiana shows the vast difference ni teams in the midwest and east. It shows that middlewest football is the best in the nation and we should be proucK of all of our teams. National Catholic Youth Week is being appropriately observed in all of the nation's Catholic churches. It is a week set aside by the Church to impress on the youth of the nation the necessity of living a clean life. Attainments are easier all through life, if a young person has a good Christian background and it is upon this theory that Youth Week is established and observed. ——o o— — A big Thursday night is on schedule for thousands of people of the Decatur area. The annual Callithumpian parade will start off the Halloween observance and then the annual Lincoln parentteachers fall festival will follow The two gala entertainments combine to make Halloween a great occasion for everyone. TherewiH-beallformsofenter-tainment for people of all ages. ——o o r No doubt there will be a few ruffians .wbo apparently get a ■> thrill out of destroying property, but these .will be very mtfch in the minority Thursday night if the history of past Halloweens prevails. There probably will be a 'few arrests of those who refuse to abide by the law, but let’s hope they will be very few.

Work has progressed rapidly on construction of Decatur's new sewage treatment and garbage disposal plant. Work of building the foundations is about completed and if weather bolds out a big chunk of the work will be out of the way before hard winter weather sets in. —--o- » —a ao • ■ We're going into the winter shopping season and there isn't a single reason that Decatur merchants shouldn’t have plenty of business. Merchandise in Decatur stores is of the best quality. Selections are excellent and the price is right. You are urged to watch the advertisements in every issue of the Daily Democrat for the best in values at the lowest prices. Trade in Decatur and watch your shopping dollars go farther. The annual Community Fund drive is less than 32,000 short of its 1957 goal and leaders in the movement believe that within the next week the fund will be oversubscribed. It you have not been solicited or if you have failed to contribute so far, please do so at once. The Fund includes almost aH of the worthy causes which formerly had independent fund drives, except now they are combined. Give today, and help keep our community the best in the nation. o o—In a short time King Basketball will take over in almost every Indiana high school and every player of the nearly 800 teams will start out with high hopes for his own team. Thousands will witness the hardwood contests and every game will be played over ana over every place where fans congregate. It’s Indiana's greatest winter pastime and the delerium will continue over the Hoosier state until next spring when interest will foam over and the elimination rounds which eventually will determine a champion will start.

SYNOPSIS Deborah Vail, an actress unengaged at the moment, is driving from London to Garnock, in Scotland, to visit a married cousin. During a late evening downpour, a flat tire stops her on a lonely stretch of road. Lacking tools to change the Ur*. Mie sets out afoot to locate a telephone. After finding a house, and knocking repeatedly, a door la opened by a man who greets her angrily: "Can't you go away and leave me in peace! what do you think I am—a peep show? I ought to welcome you with a gun!" Deborah is so overwrought that she faints. Upon regaining consciousness, she is lying inside the house, being tended by the stranger. It is evident they are alone. The stranger denies having a telephone. CHAPTER 3 EXCEPT for dirt, untidiness, neglect, the room Deborah was tn would have had considerable charm. It was large and well-proportioned. The walls were panelled in rosewood to the height of a tall man and painted dove gray above that Someone of taste had taken pains to furnish and decorate it attractively. The few pictures and ornaments had been chosen with discrimination. There was no attempt at uniformity but the result was harmonious. But everywhere she looked she saw dust and disorder. Oa tables and chairs lay the debris, the soiled plates and cutlery, of several snatched meals. Even a greasy frying pan; an encrusted coffee pot. A camp bed with tousled blankets stood against a walL With a large house at his disposal, the man was camping out in one room. 7 Apparently he also used it as a studio, for an easel stood in the middle of the floor and on a table beside it lay a palette and a litter of brushes and tubes of paint. The easel supported an unfinished portrait of a very beautiful woman. Seeing Deborah looking at it, the man went forward quickly and threw a eloth over the picture. The action was like an abrupt admonition to mind her own business. ‘Til see what can be done about your car," he said. He left the room and came back In a few minutes, clumping on thick-soled boots and wearing a shapeless felt hat and an old raincoat He asked about the car keys and Deborah said she had left them in the ignition. She always did; It was hot a car that any self-respecting thief would steal ’ » “Shall I come with you?" she asked, doing her best not to sound as unwilling as she felt. “No, you stay here and get warm." Pausing in the doorway, he looked back with a frown. “You’ll be all right?' You’re not afraid to be left alone 7” ~ .. C 1037, by Jan

of enjoyment out of it. Hoping that we shall be seeing you very soon. Very sincerely.” Q. At the movies, is it proper for people to remain in their seats and compel others to squeeze past them? A. If by turning their knees to one side they cannot make enough room for others to pass easily, they should by all means stand. Q. What is the best possible acknowledgment to an introduction? A. Just plain "How do you" will suffice in almost any situation. And, of course this should always be accompanied by a smile. Decatur Maa Slightly Injured In Accident Leonard Saylors of this city sustained minor injuries in an accident at 7:30 p. m. Monday on U. S. highway 27 about three and a half miles south of Fort Wayne. Saylor's station wagon was the only vehicle involved. He was taken to the Fort Wayne Lutheran hospital, suffering cuts to his chin and fore-
“No, I’m not afraid." “Good." With that, he was gone. She was alone in the one lighted room of a dark house; a house that conveyed an impression of morbid antagonism. She was afraid now. She had said lightly that she would not be afraid, but she could not repress a rising queasiness, a gripping foreboding. She was not in the least a timid person but the events of the night had set her nerves on edge. A sudden sound made her jump. An imperative ringing, unquestionably the summons of a telephone belt But he had said he had no telephone. The ringing went on and on. It came from the hail. Leaving the door of the living room open to light her way, she followed the sound to a noqk under the stairs where the instrument stood on a smalt tabla An ordinary dial telephone. Why lie about something so commonplace? Deborah bit her lip. Should she answer It? No, she was an unwanted intruder. Her grudging host’s affairs were no business of hers. Let it ring. In a little while It would stop. But the thing went on clamoring for attention. The strain was too great Deborah lifted the receiver. The moment she raised it to her ear she heard a voice saying: “Get out and stay out You’re not wanted here." The words were followed by a string of shocking obscenities that made her cringe. There was a click as the speaker hung up. Appalled, she stood holding the dead instrument for a while before shakily restoring it to its cradle. Numbly, she walked back to the lighted room. Never before bad light and a fire’s warmth been so welcoming, so reassuring. “Get out and stay out" The snarled command echoed in her brain. But who could know she was here? And why should anyone card And then she realized that the words, though grated in her ear, were not addressed to her. The voice with its gutter Insults had spoken the instant the receiver was lifted. Obviously, the speaker had expected the lonely occupant of the house to answer. He was the one who was not wanted. But why? What had he deme? Uneasily, she moved about the room. Her feminine curiosity was piqued by the shrouded portrait on the easel. Why. had the man been so quick to throw the cover over it? Throwing back the cloth, she took a long look at the painting. Yes, the woman who was the subject was very beautiful. Not only beautiful, but striking. Her nes Ronald. Distributed by Kia* Fei
head and was released after treatment. Saylors told investigating officer state trooper Richard Schepper that he was traveling north when the accident occurred. He said that he saw two cars approaching which appeared to be crossing back and forth in the two lanes of traffic. He swerved to the left, went down an embankment and traveled about 100 feet before hitting a driveway fill. Damage to' the vehicle was estimated at $350. Mrs. Marie Hower Dies At Bluffton Funeral servies for Mrs. Marie Hower, 83, of Bluffton, who died Saturday at the Wells county hospital. were held this afternoon at the John Goodwin, and Reed funeral home. Mrs. Hower was the former Marie Conrad, married in Decatur to Samuel Purdy, March 28, 1894. Mr. Purdy died in January, 1931. She married W. Dayton Hower Dec. 30, 1922, in Bluffton, where she had resided the past 60 years.
mouth a scarlet bow against a pallid oval face. Hair of Venetian red, exquisitely moulded nostrils, a slender throat proudly held, large grey-green eyes that were oddly expressive and compelling. It was a rarely lovely face, strangely intriguing, a face so unusual, so challenging to the imagination, that one could not conceive of ever tiring of it. All that marred it was the evident discontent underlying ths loveliness. Although she did not know the sitter, Deborah felt an irrational annoyance with the painter for betraying the inner discontent so unmistakably. He could have been a little less perceptive, a little more kind. Touching a corner of the canvas, she found that the paint was still wet It was evident that the artist had been working on the portrait that evening. She reminded herself that she was prying. The artist had shown her most pointedly that his work was no concern of hers. Now that her curiosity was satisfied—and, at the same time, titillated — she felt a twinge of shame. Draping the cloth again over easel and canvas, she walked back to the fire and lit a cigarette from the lighter she found on a table. As a fascinated child might do, she clicked the lighter several times, admiring the tiny flame that instantly and invariably responded. I It irked her to see the messy plates and saucepans that cluttered various parts of ths room. It was only fair to make some payment for the trouble she was giving her host It was stupid to be frightened of an empty house, to be ruled by her nerves. But she felt an inward quailing again as she went out again to the hall —prudently leaving the living room door open as wide aa it would go—turned oa the light there, and explored a connecting passage until she found the kitchen. It was as repellently untidy as she had feared; a cockroach scuttled madly about the sink when the light went on; but she rolled up her sleeves and donned a soiled apron. She gathered the dirty dishes and the other things, washed them thoroughly, and put them away as neatly as possible. While rinsing the sink she glanced up and saw a brutish male face staring la at her through the window. An ugly, stupid, bestial face with bulging eyes and a snoutish nose. It was like something monstrous from another world. She screamed ... and the face withdrew in a flash. » (To Be Continued} ' ItWM BrsM4oat<
