Indications throughout Indiana point to control of polio and this year very few cases have been reported. Counties, including Adams which were hard hit the last few years by the dreaded disease have reported only a scattering of cases this year. Vaccinations can account for much of the control and constant publicity has placed the problem squarely before the people. Let's hope that in a few years the crippling malady will be completely removed from our entire nation. - o o—We are indebted to John H. Stewart, Point 'Pleasant, New Jersey, former city editor of the Daily Democrat, for furnishing us news all during the New Jersey election campaign. The election which will be held this week has drawn national interest. Democrat Governor Meyner stands a good chance of being a Presidential nominee if he can defeat State Senator Malcolm Forbes, son of the founder of Forbes Magazine. It has been a red-hot campaign with G. O. P. leaders sending everyone available from the vice-presideht down into the battle. It will be interesting to observe the outcome.; ——o o-— Spiritual Emphasis week opened last night in Decatur. Services will be held each night at Zion Evangelical Reformed church with Rev. Ross H. Minkler. Louisville, Ky., as guest speaker. The week of services is sponsored by the Decatur Associated churches.

There is no doubt now that the Community Fund, money raising agency for a dozen Decatur organizations, will go over the top this week. M. J. Pryor, general chairman of the drive and his various committees deserve great credit. The drives have fallen short in many neighboring cities and the fact that the Decatur drive has been successful again reflects the kind of community we have and the type of people who reside here. It is a fine tribute to everyone who took part, and again we're proud to say that Decatur is the finest little city in the world. "Higher education is everybody’s This was the opening statement of Dr. Wilson Martindale Compton, president emeritus of the council for financial aid to education, in a recent address at Western College for Women at Oxford, O. Starting November 10 and extending to November 16, National Education week will be observed by all colleges and universities in the nation. In this day of specialization the young man or woman who feels that a high school education and maybe a year or two of college will fill their educational needs will be lost in the current of progress. Never in our lifetime has education been so necessary as it is today. High schools, industry, the Ministry, medicine, science, just about every field, require high educational achievement. Why shouldn't education then be everybody's concern? Every dollar you give to privately operated colleges and universities does two important things. It relieves our tax dollar for education and it provides education for more people. Small colleges have a bard time, even when times are good and they do a great job with very little cash. All of us should include contributions to colleges in our annual budget. It’s just good business on your part to aid in education of all of Young America.

SYNOPSIS Deborah Vail, au aciieas unengaged at tlie moment, was driving from London to Garnock. Scotland, to visit ■ married cousin. Joyce Monteith. Near Garnock. during the stormy evening, she was stoppea by a fiat Ure. The occupant of the bouse where she sought aio ooviously didn't want visitors He. Andrew Garvin, told ti?r he didn't nave a phone. But when he left ner alone to fix the tire, a phone rang. Deborah answered it •Get out ana stay out!" an angry voice demanded. "You rs not wanted here!" Then, while satisfying her curiosity about the house, her attention was arrested by a brutish face staring at ner through a window. There was no explanation of these nappeninas from Garvin when he sent her on her way. She was given one when she reached Joyce Monteith's house. Joyce branded Garvin the murderer of bis wife. Deborah could not believe it The two women almost came to blows, but Joyce's nusband, Ewan, made peace between them and told Deborah of Andrew Garvin's marriage to Erica, a lovely, ■azy. social climber with questionable morals. Erica was found dead m bed. beaten on the head, late one afternoon. The murder weapon was missing. CHAPTER 7 ON the freshly-washed morning following the night of rain. Andrew Garvin drove to Garnock in his Jaguar. He had shopping to do that could not be put off any longer. It might be more discreet to do his errands in Dumfries, where he was less well known, but ne was hanged if gossiping tongues were going to make him drive thirty miles out of his way. He could not afford the car. He never had been able to afford it. Only . . . Erica had kept on at him until he bought it for ner. Looking back, he saw their married life as an unending scramble tor money, more money, and yet more money. He had been driven to abase his talent as an artist with hack work tor advertising agencies. His overdraft at the bank had long since reached its limit: his house was mortgaged to the eaves. Despising himself, he had borrowed from every approachable friend and acquaintance. Now he must sell the car, sell the house, Work like a flend and scrimp like a miser to keep himself out of the bankruptcy court He tried not to think of the infinitely more ominous court in which he shortly might find himself. Driving through the rolling green countryside, he kept seeing Erica’s beautiful petulant face. The very thought of her was pain and it was with him night and day. Erica. The subtle poison he had taken of his own free will. The poison that went on working its mischief even though Erica was dead. He was too absorbed in his thoughts to notice the sharp, avid •tares of the pedestrians he passed on the outskirts of the town. In a quiet turning near

the Square he parked the car. Walking along Market Street, he was conscious of hostile glances from passers-by, but .steeled himself to ignore them. At the to-, bacconist’s the salesgirl gaped open-mouthed at nim as she weighed his two ounces of cheap tobacco. Tufning, he saw two or three faces peering in at the shop window. By the time he came out half a dozen spectators were gathered to watch him. A commercial traveller was being told in audible whispers the nature of the free attraction. •That’s Garvin . . . Did ye no’ ken ? . , . Aye, the murderer, the yin that bashed his wife." Andrew walked on, with the pack at his heels, and entered a grocer's. The aproned proprietor and his assistants were busy with customers but they froze abruptly, as if stricken motionless; and for a while their eyes, wide with curiosity, were all that proved they were not statue* Then suddenly, as if a penny had been dropped into a slot, animating a peep show, the grocer and his assistants went about their business again, filling orders, inquiring about other necessities. But there was an artificial quality about this stir of activity, a falseness about the unctuous inquiries and the stilted replies. It was like a scene staged by amateur actors who were not up in their lines. None at them could keep their attentiop on the business at hand. Every pair of eyes kept wandering furtively to Andrew Garvin and their minds nibbled at him like mice on cheese. When it was the artist’s turn to be served, the grocer cleared his throat self-consciously and studiously avoided looking directly at him. “Sir?” j ‘ Andrew ordered bread and beans, sugar and coffee. He added eggs and tinned milk, for the local dairy had stopped delivering to his house. The shop was bustling with newly-arrived customers, most of them . out of breath and uncertain of their wants, whose small purchases were transparent excuses for coming In. The grocer felt that he, himself, was on show. Out of the comer of his eye he could see the gaping crowd clustered round his shop front His bearing became that of a man who plays an important role in a drama. Outside the shop, the crowd bulged over the pavement Rumors were being bandied from one to another; but a hush tell when Andrew appeared tn the ' doorway, j A hundred eyes stared at him with inquisitiveness and enmity. They formed a barrier

between him and the street but until he tried to pass there was no telling whether they would fall back to make way or force bun to shoulder a path for himself. Others were coming to swell the crowd, some with as much haste as dignity would permit, some frankly running. Andrew moved forward with as matter-of-fact an air as if his path was clear. A little girl who had Jostled her way through from the rear worked herself between a pair of adult legs and popped up almost into the artist’s belt buckle. Someone’s arm struck her ear and she let out a plaintive howL Andrew reached out a hand to steady her. She thrust nerself back, yelling, “Dinna touch me!” Someone on tiptoe at the fringe of the crowd shouted: "Whit's he daein’ tae the bairn?” “He grabbed at her.” “He hit her.” ■ , “Oh, the poor wee thing." The child, sensing the dramatic possibilities of the incident, began to cry. That morning, Deborah was driving her cousin on a round of errands. When the car turned into Market Street they saw at once that something was wrong. At a safe distance from the disturbance, Deborah parked at the curb, and Joyce stepped out to see what was happening. Too small to peer over the jostling shoulders of the crowd, she but-ton-holed the chemist who was standing in his doorway. Joyce came back to the car. "It’s Andrew Garvin,” she told Deborah. “What are they doing to him?" T don’t know. Nothing very much, I don’t suppose. Only staring and calling names. The man’s asking for trouble, showing his face in the town.” . She saw a look of determination forming on Deborah's chiselled features. “Don’t be an Idiot,” she said sharply. "There’s nothing you can do. Leave it to the police.” “The police don’t seem to be doing very much,” said Deborah grimly, reaching for the gear lever. w “Deborah, please ... you’Honly get yourself talked about. After all, the man means nothing to you.” "He’s in trouble. That ought to mean something to any human being." ■ With a final cry from Joyce ringing in her ears, Deborah shot the car forward. She was not at an sure what she was going to do. Perhaps the crowd would scatter And make way if she drove the car straight at it Perhaps not . . . . Lj (To Be ContiMicdJ

Middlemen Blamed For Food Increase Ag Department Says Middlemen To Blame WASHINGTON (UP) - The Agriculture Department said today that middlemen, not farmers, are mainly responsible for the rising cost of food. The department explained why in the following letter to U. S. consumers published in its current report o» the farm marketingtransportation situation: Mr. and Mrs. Consumer and all your little consumers: Your grocery bills for food in July, August, and September were 4 per cent higher than they were in the same months last year. The middlemen—really a crowd of people who assemble, process, transport, and distribute foods—got three - fourths of the extra money you paid the grocer. The other one-fourth went to farmers who produced the raw commodities. The middleman's take is called marketing charges. The average unit marketing charges for farm food products were 5 per cent higher in the third quarter of 1957 than they were in the same period in 1958. This is considerably more than the average increase over a 12-month period in recent years. Marketing charges may go higher in 1958. Prices farmers received for these food products averaged 2 per cent higher than in the third quarter of last year. Higher prices for hogs accounted for much of this increase. „ Hie farmer’s share of your retail food dollar in the third quarter was 40 cents. He is expected to average the same far the entire year. He got 40 cents last year, too. In 1946, he got 52 cents. The farmer likely won't get even 40 cents in 1958. The price he gets for raw food products is expected to average about the same in 1958 as in 1957. Ulis, coupled with the expectation that marketing charges will be higher next year, means his share of your retail buck will be smaller. The last time the farmer's share was under 40 cents was in 1939. His share that year was only 38 cents. You see, the costs of performing marketing operations went up this year and will go up still more in 1958. The average hourly earnings of workers in marketing firms are up. Costs of containers, packaging materials, coal and fuel oil, trucks, machinery, and many other things marketing firms buy are higher. The Interstate Commerce Commission recently approved substantial increases in rail freight rates. They were less than the railroads requested. Railroad officials are considering making a request for another increase. Several groups of motor carriers have said they want higher rates, but haven’t asked for them. Total net profits after taxes of firms manufacturing food and kindred products were about 10 per cent smaller in the first half of this year than in the same period of 1956. Profit ratios for the five wholesale food distributors for which data is available were higher in 1956 than in 1955. For leading wholesale and chain-store retailers the 1956 profits were up slightly figured hs a percentage of sales. But profits as a percentage of the amount of money the stockholder invested made a rather large advance.

The volume of farm products to be sold in 1958 may be as large
