There is mention of Congressman Ross Adair as a possible candidate for Senator. He has made a good congressman, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he would be a good Senator. The board of zoning appeals has a problem in the form of a petition for a variance so the Ohio Oil Co. can place an underground gasoline storage plant at their property on Thirteenth street. The matter has been taken under advisement until next Monday after a remonstrance signed by twenty-seven nearby residents was presented. One thing in politics is pretty certain. Sen. Jenner, if he actually does not run for re-election, certainly will not be drafted for any public office. If he decides to. run for Governor and get some easy Hoosier money, he will have to be a candidate by his own decision. There’ll be lots of speculation as to why he quits his Senate post, if he does. o o Why don’t our leaders of both parties admit our fallacies and join hands in cooperation toward getting our nation back in the scientific lead, which we have lost because of bickering and little jealousies to Russia. .This nation surely can dig up the leadership in science and in bipartisan operation which we need to do the job. Let's get going. ■ O*" ■ O—— Typical winter weather greeted this community this week and added impetus to winter and holiday buying. Local merchants reported good trade in many stores and people seemed to get the idea that Christmas was not far off. Guess ft takes a little ice and snow to cause people to realize that Christmas is not far away. You still have time to visit Decatur stores and get your choice of quality merchandise at low prices. You’re missing a good bet if you don’t join the thousands of shoppers of this area and trade in Decatur.

The holiday decorations got .. touch of real winter which added to the thrill of children and adults for the holiday season. ——o o J •> Adams county has recorded its first hunting fatality. Richard Drake, Decatur young man was accidentally shot and killed while hunting Saturday afternoon near New Corydon. Hunters can’t be too careful with loaded guns. Let’s all hope that there will be no more fatalities during the balance of the season. o -o— Best news of the last several days is that General Electric in Decatur has called back some eighty employes laid off recently at the Decatur plant. It will be a happy time ofr those called back to work and their families and it will make a merrier Christmas /for a good many people. It’s always good news after a lay-off when workers are called back and it is especially true during the holiday season. Let’s all hope that the call-backs will be permanent and that many more will follow soon. —o—o There are many rumors floating around the Court House that there will be changes in the county family on January 1, when the vote on the board of commissioners will be changed to two Republicans and one Democrat. If you believe in party politics, and most of uJ do, there is nothing alarming about this contemplated action. The people saw fit to elect two Republican board members which gives that party the majority, and most certainly they are entitled to make the appointments, because they will have to shoulder the responsibility. If we are interested in good and clean politics, we also are interested in the two-party system. If our candidates were beaten in the last ; election, perhaps it was because some of us laid down on the job. There certainly isn’t a need to be alarmed* because we voted it this way and if we don’t like it we can change it at the next general election.

Is it proper for a woman to use her maiden name as a middle name after she is married? A. Yes, this is the established custom. In other words, after Joyce Margaret Patterson marries William Henry Jones, she then becomes Jayce Patterson Jones. Q. Is it proper for the bride’s family to mail a wedding invitation to the bridegroom’s brother, even though he is to serve as best man? A. It would be exceedingly rude to omit him from the invitation list' Household Scrapbook ’ BY ROBERTA LEE j n -O „ .t ..

. CHAPTER 19 “T TOW do you really feel about 11 Andrew Garvin?’’ asked Joyce, with wide-eyed curiosity. ‘‘l don't know.” said Deborah, embarrassed. “After all. I've only seen the man a few times. I met him under circumstances that were bound to make an impression.'’ "And ever since you’ve thought of nothing else.” “I’m sorry for him,” Deborah said slowly. “I’d like to help him. Is that love?” “Pity is a part of love ... but only a part.” "Don’t ask me to explain my feelings. How can I, when I don’t understand them myself?” “He’s always been different, somehow, from other folk." said Joyce uneasily. “Perhaps that’s the artist in him. No matter how this business comes out. he’ll be marked by it, scarred deeply. Don't let sympathy lead you into something you’ll regret." "All right. Mother. I'll be careful.” Deborah rejoined, but the flippancy was jarring and false, •"niere’s something else I’ve got to tell you.” Deborah continued. “I only hope it won’t upset you too much. When I came back for Ewan’s Library book this morning, it was evident that Scobie had been rummaging about the living room. I traced him to the basement. And, a few minutes ago . . . .” Deborah told her cousin about the blackmailing note in Scobie’s pocket. The episode worried and frightened Joyce. She said they would have to get rid of Scobie without delay. They ought not to have employed him in the first place. “The note said to ’have plenty cash ready.’ That suggests that the bla'ckmailee is rich," Deborah pointed out. ( “To Scobie; anyone who washed regularly would seem rich,” Joyce responded. “He refers to ‘it’ in the note. 1 have got it. It is well hid. Joyce, don't you see! He probably means the missing weapon. Perhaps he recovered it -while he was supposed to be helping the police look for it. He must have it now. That’s what his blackmail note implies. If only he could be forced to give it up.” “Deborah, don't be a fool! If you’ve got some crazy idea in your head you’d better get rid of it. Scobie is no one to trifle with.” “Let’s keep to the point, Joyce. Since nothing is missing from the house, the murderer must have brought the weapon with him. That suggests it was premeditated. He went there intending to kill her. Joyce, 1 wouldn’t be surprised if the weapon led straight to the murderer.” Joyce said firmly, “Well, it won’t! You're wrong about that” Deborah was startled. "How can you possibly know?” “Because I ni almost certain he

found it at her bedside.” i “B-but the maid," ztammered] Deborah “she’s sure nothing is j missing." “This is something the maid didn’t know about Something that only reached the house that morning after she left on her errand to Dumfries." A few days before the murder. Joyce explained reluctantly, she and Rrica had been in Glasgow on a shopping expedition. Erica’s eye was caught .by a statuette of a naked youth, about*a foot high, and she bought it ordering it to be sent On the morning of her death. Erica had talked to Joyce on the telephone, from her bed, and told her that the statuette had just been delivered. “After I got over the shock of hearing about the murder,” Joyce continued, “it occurred to me that it might be the weapon. It’s missing. There’s no doubt about that.” , “And you were the only one, barring the murderer, who knew of its existence. Oh, Joyce, why didn't you tell the police?" “None of us told the police any more than we could help,” said Joyce wearily. “It was all too . . . too close to home." Deborah wondered how many others of the 'nice' people of Garnock were keeping significant facts to themselves. Going to the mirror, she put on a hat. “I’m going for a walk,” she said. “I’ve got to think.” • • • For an hour or so Deborah walked the cobbled streets, lined with soot-blackened, sandstone buildings, tn the old part of Garnock that the poet Bums and several generations before him had known. Then, tired and hungry, she went into a snack bar for a cup of tea and a sandwich. At the next table, two attractive girls in their late teens had their heads together, talking animatedly. When they saw her one of them nudged the other and then made a hesitant gesture of recognition. It was the pleasant country girl who had been Erica Garvin's maid. Deborah beckoned encouragingly and the two picked up their half-finished sodas and eagerly joined her. The one she had seen before said. "This is my girl friend, Jenny." “I’ve tell’t ye a hundred times, it's no' Jenny. It’s Jennifer." The girls were openly admiring Deborah’s smart appearance. “Ye’re no' a bit like whit I expected,” said Jennifer. “When they tell’t me there was a lady detective in the town, 1 thocht—" "Good heavens,” protested Deborah, “I’m nothing of the sort. I’m afraid I’m—well, perhaps you’d call me a nosy stranger, poking into matters that are none of my concern." The girls exchanged crestfallen glances.

Appointed Deputy Attorney General WASHINGTON (ffl — President Eisenhower today named Federal Judge Lawrence E. Walsh of the southern district of New York as the new deputy attorney general. Walsh, a -<5-year-old Republican who has been of the federal bench since 1954, received a recess appointmfent to the vacany caused by the elevcation of William P. Rogers to attorney general. Emergency Housing m ELIZABETH CITY, N. C (I? — The stork made so many trips to Albemarle hospital here recently that the 14-crib nursery had to put babies in dresser drawers. There were babies in all the cribs, in all of the incubators and four were placed in dresser" drawers.

“It’s a bit of a facer,” said Margaret, “that you re not what we thought. I had Jenny—l mean, Jennifer, keyed up to come to see you. She’s got something on her mind." . ’Tm ntf just sure 1 hae the right tae tell ye.” temporized Jennifer. “If 1 tell ye, will ye promise no' to make trouble for Joe Mac Kay? It’s his secret mair than mine.” “Who is Joe Mac Kay?” asked Deborah. “He’s the farmer’s son at Auld Knowe Farm," replied Jennifer, her eyes glowing with fondness for the lad. “1 won’t make trouble for him.” “He’s fair beside himself *wi’ worry,” said Jennifer. “He disna ken hoo tae make matters richt. Withoot meanin' tae dae it, tie made trouble for Mr. Garvin wi’ the police. On the day of the murder, Mr. Garvin said he was paintin' a picture in the fields De*, hind Auld Knowe. Joe was pushed "into making that seem a lee But the truth o’ the matter is that Joe disna ken whether Mr. Garvin wis there or no’." “But the boy claimed to have been mending dikes all that day at the veyy spot,” said Deborah. “Aye," said Jennifer, flushing. "That was the work his falther mapped oot for him. And then his faither weqt off tae market in Dumfries, to be gone all day. The minute the auld yin's back was turned, Joe nipped off through the fields tae see me. We’re ... . in love, ye ken,” she said shyly, “but the auld yin will no’ hear of it He says Joe’s got his way in the world to make afore he can think o’ courtin’. The auld yin's terrible strict wi” Joe. That’s why we hae to meet on the sly.” "How long was Joe gone from his work?" Deborah asked with interest •Tt was nearin’ dark afore he left me,” replied Jennifer, her blush flaming brighter. “I’d made up a wee basket o' food, and we went on a picnic. When he got back, his faither was in the yard, talkin’ tae twa poiismen. They asked him where hf had been all day. Before Joe could answer, his faither said: 'He’s been mendin’ the dikes back there on the hillside.' The pollsman looked at Joe and said, ‘Hae ye seen Mr. Garvin the day?' By that time, Joe ken’t somethin’ was wrang but he stuck tae his guns. ‘No,’ he said, ‘I havena seen Mr. Garvin the day*. “Ye can believe me, Miss Vail, he’d no' gang intae the witness box and lee. But he’s been feart tae speak oot —his faither wid kill him.” Deborah has to make up her mind about some forceful advice: “Stop poking and prying . , . it can only lead von into danger!” The story continues here tomorrow.
