This area while being blasted by wind and some rain, again has been spared from any severe wind storms or tornadoes. No severe wind damage has been ; reported so far, although some roofs and barn doors have been reported to have been damaged. ■ -o o - Judge Myles F. Parrish has issued a call for the Grand Jury on December 17. The Judge has also invited all citizens of the county or any of them to appear if they know of any crimes or misdemeanors which they feel should be Investigated. It also is incumbent on the Jury to inspect all county buildings. Judke Parrish has a list of Instructions which he reads to each Grand Jury and which has been widely copied in northern Indiana. Actual procedure of the grand jury is secret and what the body investigates is never made public. William Girard. Army man, was found guilty of manslaughter in a Japanese Court this week and received a three year suspended sentence. He is at liberty to return now to his Illinois home and forget the shooting of i junk-hunter whom he*shot after she failed to heed his order to “stop". It was an ugly incident, but seemingly well handled by both nations. There always will be those who will feel that the case should have been tried in this country by court-martial, but we’ll never know what a court martial would have decided. Best guess at present is that Girard got off fairly easy.

SYNOPSIS Deborah Va|l. an actress unengaged at Uw moment, was driving from London to Garnock, Scotland, to visit a married cousin. Joyce Monteith. Near . Garnock. during the stormy evening, she was stopped by a flat tire Site was given a hostile reception at the bouse where she sought aid. The occupant. Andrew Garvin, obviously didn't want visltora He told her he didn't have a phone, but when he left her alone to fix the tire, a nhone rang. Deborah answered It "Get out and stay out!" an angry voice demanded. "You re not wanted here!" Then, while satisfying her curiosity about the house, a brutish face stared at her through a window. Garvin sent Deborah away without an explanation of these happen Inga Her cousin told her there was good reason for Garvin to be spied upon and disliked. She said that Garvin murdered his wife. Erica, a lazy social climber of careless conduct Erica's maid found her in bed. beaten to death, in late afternoon. The murder weapon was missing. The impression made by Garvin during their brief meeting was such that Deborah couldq t believe him a murderer. This and Deborah's action In going to Garvin's sid when he is beset oy an angry crowd in Garnock cause Joyce concern. She does not know that Deborah was set out on her own to investigate the case, beginning with a visit ’o the Garvins' former maid. The maid tells her that on the fatal day. she was sent away while Mra Garvin entertained a male caller. The Monteiths have a tenant tn spare rooms in their house. David Gray, a young police Inspector. He takes an interest in Deborah. She docs not welcome his attentions, and she Is annoyed by his conceit and the fact that he is to be a guest at a party she Is to attend with the Monteiths and Andrew Garvin’s sister. Enid. CHAPTER 13 JOYCE was making last-minute alterations to an evening dress when Deborah burst into the room. Ih mounting excitement, Deborah told her cousin of the wrongly dated sales slip the garage attendant had given her that morning, and of her talk with Old Mra Craw. Joyce refused to be impressed. Her manner was disapproving. "I don’t see why you’re so worked up. It doesn't seem that import- ~ ant to me." "People who make mistakes in the date are likely to be in the habit of making such mistakes. After a lapse of a week, how could one have the slightest faith in the man’s evidence? It may have been the day before the murder, or a couple of days before, that Andrew Garvin stopped for petrol* I "The police aren’t stupid, i They're bound to have taken that I sort of factor into consideration.” < “The police,” said Deborah dis- 1 gustedly. i "David’s no fool, whatever you 1 may think of him.” i “As tar as Old Mrs. Craw is < - concerned—well, all she saw was a man in a sports jacket getting s out of a sports car. It could have 1 been anyone.” t Joyce did not seem to relish i that line of thought She shook i her head vehemently. t “All those little cars look much alike,” Deborah went on, “and a i

sports jacket is normal wear for men in the country. It wasn’t Andrew Garvin she saw. It was the visitor his wife was expecting when she sent the' maid oh a senseless errand.” “I wish you’d forget the whole business,” said Joyce petulantly. “How can I?” They looked at each other. It struck Deborah that Joyce seemed almost frightened by the suggestion that some man other than Andrew Garvin might have killed Erica. • • • The baby sitter arrived at a quarter to seven, bringing a friend. She hoped Mrs. Monteith would not mind, but she was scared to be alone with a murderer at large. Joyce said that was all nonsense. She only wanted someone to gossip with. "Clothes and boys. That’s all you girls think of.” “What else is there?” asked the baby sitter's friend with a giggle. Paddy, the Sealyham, was suspicious ot the friend. He kept circling her wanly, making lowthroated noises. He was not sure this giggler could be trusted near the precious baby. With a firm tread on th*. stairs. David Gray came down, looking debonair in a double-breasted dinner jacket. Ewan gave an admiring whistle. “That’s what I should look like!” In the driveway, Deborah's elderly coupe looked like a poor relation behind David's glossy MG. A. David pointed out that there was not room for four in either car. "I'll take Miss Vail tn mine,” he said. “You and Joyce can go in Miss Vail’s car, Ewan.” “I don’t think he could handle it,’’ said Deborah stiffly. "No offense, Ewan, but the old thing’s a bit erratic. You have to know her little way's." “Then I’ll go with you,” said David promptly. It was no use snubbing the man! a snub went right over his head. “Ewan, you take the M.G.A. No fancy driving. Remember you’re a sober old married man.” Ewan and Ms wife elimbed into the sports car, which started at once and was quickly gone. To Deborah's annoyance, an attack of asthma seemed to be afflicting her car. The engine wheezed and spluttered but refused to catch. David sat beside her, cool and impertubable, offering neither counsel nor help. It was several minutes before she coaxed the engine into a labored panting, let in the clutch and drove slowly, almost Umpingly, out of the drive. She drove at a sedate speed through the town. David offered a cigarette. She refused coldly. He said it was

a nice eouM not deny. She ' as if the word choked Ker.” After a time he told her pleasantly to turn left and, a little iat/r, to turn right She was relieved when they turned in between nigh wrought-iron gates and crunched over gravel to the imposing doorway of the Maclnches’ Largs bright-lighted house. The moment they stopped David came around to her side swiftly and handed i her out as urbanely as if they had come in a Rolls. The door was opened by a buti ler who admitted them to a pan- . elled hall and took David's nat i and coat A rosy-cheeked housei maid relieved Deborah of. her wrap. The butler led them into a i room humming with conversation. I It was habit with Deborah, a part of her stage training, to I make an entrance. Before joining a gathering she always squared I her shoulders, threw back her i head, and looked cordially expectant David, at her elbow, was Imused by this instinctive per- : formance. The room, of elegant propor- ' tions, was furnished with taste - and charm. Warmed by a blazi ing log fire, lit by discreetly ’ shaded lamps, it made a gracious i background for the men in for- . mal black and white and the ; women in colorful dresses. A tall, I middle-aged man detached himself from the group by the fire and came to them with a welcoming smile, followed by a very thin woman with a wan. almost hag- : gard face. ; i "I heard how lovely you were, Miss Vail,” said Hector Maclnch 1 in his rich, fruity voice, "but I’m > afraid they didn’t do you justice." How like an actor, was her : immediate reaction. Well, she supposed a brilliant criminal adi vocate must be an actor of sorts. He carried with him an aura of wig and gown and ceremonial. He enveloped one of her hands in a well-fleshed palm. "It was good ot you to come, my dear,” said Judith Maclnch, her smile giving Deborah a glimpse of vanished beauty. A kindly, gracious person, she made Deborah feel very much at home. “Good to see you. inspector," said Hector Maclnch, with the merest hint ot mockery in his twinkling eyes. “Inspector' on duty,* replied David pleasantly. "Off-duty, 'David' to my friends and ‘Mr. Gray* to my acquaintances." “Then come and have a cocktail, David. You, too. Miss Vail I suggest one of my special martinis. Five parts gin, one part Noilly Prat, and one drop of Pernod. Well shaken, with plenty, of Ice.” With a Latfli flourish he kissed his bunched fingertip! “Perfection.” (To Be Continued)

Many Secret Radar Sites Pinpointed U. S. And Canada Reveal Locations WASHINGTON (UP)—The United States and Canada have come close to pinpointing for all to know the locations of many of the secret radar ‘stations providing warning of possible attack across the top of the world. U.S. defense officials said however the net result will be more, rather than less, security for the two countries. The two governments have just made public the names and exact locations of 21 main airstrips serving the radar sites comprising the distant early warning (DEW) line across the top of North America. The air strips were identified when the two governments established a new polar air defense zone through which no airplane may fly without following a prescribed flight plan and without being positively identifiedMarked by Parallels , The new zone runs roughly along a band marked by the 68th and 70th parallels of latitude. Similar identification zones run across the United States - Canadian border, up and down the con 3 tinent’s coast and around Alaska. Airplanes flying through the zones must file advance flight plans. They need the en route navigation facilities and radio communications of the zones to establish their courses. The DEW line landing stripe were identified so flyers will know where radio beacons are located and have access to emergency landing strips if needed. The list of 21 strips was published in the Canada Gazette, a weekly government publication. They also were identified in the November "Radio Facility Charts," a booklet issued under authority of the United States and Canadian air forces and navies. Locations Still Secret While exact locations of radar stations remain-secret, they obviously are not far from the landing strips which were installed for use of airplanes supplying the stations. There are 23 other landing strips which were not identified because they lack radio aids useful to planes passing over. The airstrips which have now been identified stretch from Cape Dyer on Baffin Island's north-east coast through Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island’s south coast to Shingle Point near the mouth of the Mackenzie River Pentagon officials Said a sifffflaf listing of DEW line landing strips is expected soon for Alaska. About Time GRAFTON, Mass. — (IP) — For the first time, this 222-year-old town recently adopted a set of traffic regulations.
