Sen. Jenner’s announcement of retirement is bringing out a lot of prospective candidates in both parties. Republicans must bear in mind that this next election they’ll have to play it alone. There won't be an Eisenhower to hang on to, and they might find it a little rough going. 0 -» Fort Wayne police are on the job. They now have nabbed a suspect in several filling station hold-ups. The entire department is to be congratulated for this and the recent arrest of the confessed rapist. A few more things like this and convicts and hoodlums will stay away from Fort Wayne. o o The annual nut sale sponsored by the Decatur Girl Scouts has started here and will continue through December 14. Door to door solicitation for sale of numerous types of huts will be taken by the young saleswomen.

Mrs. Randolph Brandyberry is in charge of this year’s sale. ——o o Secretary of state Frank Lenning has mailed blanks to 7,000 non-profit organizations with a request that they file their annual report with him and also enclose a filing fee of SI.OO.

All reports must be in by January 30 or the organizations are placed on the tax duplicates. o——o—Business continues to be excellent here. Friday and Saturday were fine trading days and every day more, peoptegreusing the Decatur trading area.

Vice President Nixon, for once in his life has issued some timely words when he said: “Let’s stop our weeping and build a missile which will beat Russia.” - O' ■" o Churches are preparing for their special holiday programs and musicals and so on the outdoor chimes will be heralding in the happiest season of the year. Let’s not forget the children who won't be so fortunate unless we give to the Good Fellow Fund. ——o o President Eisenhower is showing his courage as a soldier and he is planning to attend the NATO conference in Paris. This is being done in spite of his recent illness and the whole nation is glad for his apparent recovery. Everyone is hoping and praying that he will return in fine physical shape. We need a strong president in these days more than in a long long time. • o o The Wisconsin mother who absented herself from home in favor of a nearby tavern and remained while her eight children all were burned up in a fire which destroyed their home, spoke well when she said “I , wished I would have perished with them.” It was a tragedy and nothing can be done to bring the eight lives. Certainly, even if the woman’s punishment is light, her heart will ache and her consdence will gnaw at her the rest of her life. o o—More than 2,400 adults and kiddies rode the Santa Claus special last Saturday and for many, it was their first train ride. The occasion, sponsored by the Erie railroad and Decatur merchants was a grand affair and there was not a single injury or reported illness. The children were orderly and everyone enjoyed the event. Plans already are underway for a repeat performance next year. A pleasant event like this always pays off in big dividends for everyone concerned.

CHAPTER 22 -pOING HOME, Miss Vail?" Qavid Gray asked. . . Deborah said. “Yea," rather stiffly to the police inspector. It would be foolish to go out of her way merely to snub the man, especially since he seemed impervious to snubs. He fell into step with her. ‘1 hear you’ve been seeing quite a lot of Ajidrew Garvin," he said. “Is that your affair?” Deborah said tartly. "An artist. An outcast. A combination that might well appeal to a girl’s imagination.” Deborah colored with annoyance. He sounded patronizing. "You speak as if I were a silly schoolgirl. ’’ "That’s not the way I see you." "I don’t care how you see me!" said Deborah angrily. "It seems we can never meet without clashing. Why is that?” Deborah said forcefully, "Because you're stubborn, hidebound, blind—” 4. . ■ "Stupid?" he suggested, with a twinkle in his eye. She could not help laughing. He said approvingly, “That’s better." They strolled along together. The air was still, hushed, as if the night held Its breath. "Who made him an outcast?" Deborah said suddenly. "You’re going to say it was me.” "Well, wasn’t it? You’re a policeman. You ought not to be blinded by prejudice. You should look for the truth." "And what is the truth?” asked David Gray amiably. “I don’t know; I'm not sure: but it’s there if yoii dig for it I’m only a girt, as you pointed out, with neither credentials nor authority to back me up, but already I’ve found out that at least three of your witnesses against him either lied or are mistaken.” “It’s away witnesses have,” said David Gray. “Their eyes or their memories play tricks. Most of them want to tell the truth but what a man calls the truth is generally what he chooses to believe, not what he knows for Certain. In my job you have to sift facts from fancy. Often it isn’t easy.” Now was the time to tell him all she had found out about Bill Sinclair. Why did she hesitate? “I could make out as strong a case against several men in Garnock," she said, temporizing, "as you can against Andrew Garvin.” "No doubt. But we police are not quite blind, nor asleep. We've investigated several suspects father closely. Believe me, we’re still at it" .. ‘ And then, there’s that man, |

Church Os Nanrene Plans Anniversary Golden Anniversary Os Church In 1958 Looking toward the 1958 golden anniversary year of t|e Church of the Nazarene, Dr. S. T. Ludwig, general church secretary, has outlined a series of simultaneous events in which every church of the denomination will participate. Pastors of all local Nazarene churches now are planning for Individual or union watch night service, December 31, which will usher in the jubilee year. J Other simultaneous services in Nazarene churches around the world will include: Jan. 5 — Worshop service marking the start of the anniversary year; April 6 — Easter offering for world missions, goal: $1,000,000; Oct. 12. 1958 — 50th anniversary Sunday services; and Nov. 23 — Thanksgiving offerisg for world missions, goal: $1,000,000. Official birthday of the Church of the Nazarene was Oct. 13, 1908 at Pilot Point, Texas, when a group of smaller churches in the east, west and south formally united. Sharing a belief in the Wesleyan doctrine of entire sanctification, or heart purity, the original 228 churches and 10.000 members have increased in 50 years to 4,500 churches with approximately 300,000 members. The Rev C. E. Lykins, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene in Decatur announces the local watch night service from 9 to midnight Dec. 31, climaxing with a candle light communion service. The public is invited to attend. Director Os Centei Suffers Foot Injury Richard Linn, director of the Decatur Youth and Community center, suffered a possible broken foot when he slipped from a ladder at the center Monday afternoon. The foot did not hurt at first, and Linn did not realize that It was seriously injured until late in the evening, when it became too painful to walk on. He is now able to get about on crutches, and expects to return to the center Wednesday.

Scebie. He knows something." "What he knows he won’t tell. Scobie’a a close-mouthed scoundreL” The '’police inspector scowled. “I’d give a year’s pay to get the goods on him! We’ve had him before the bench a dozen times. Maiming a sheep to get revenge on a farmer; malicious wounding; breaking and entering; poaching. All sorts of charges. Insufficient evidence every time. It’s baffling to a policeman to be up against a crook who has no friends. Most criminals have a few pals with whom they’re free and easy, to whom they boast of the clever job they’ve just pulled off. Time after time, it’s the crook who gives himself away because hi s tongue wags too freely in convivial company. Not Scobie. The man hasn’t a friend or casual pal in the world, and what he knows stays bottled up in his ugly skulL" •“the whole town knows that you’re having Andrew Garvin watched. In the eyes of the town that makes him guilty.” * ' "Do you expect me to announce publicly that I haven’t accused him?” "It’s unfair to leave him with the burden of suspicion." "There may be a reason for that. Perhaps it’s to make the real murderer think he's thrown us off the track. Or perhaps we’re sure it’s Garvin and hoping he’ll do something to give himself away. After all, he almost killed his wife once before. It was at a party and she was too interested in another man.” “He probably gave her the good shaking she deserved. Wouldn’t you?” "Perhaps I would,” said Inspector Gray. They walked along in silence for a while. "Don't go flying off the handle,” he said. *Tve got a word of advice for you.” "To mind my own business, I expect?” "That’s about it You know, of course—ail the world knows—that British policemen don’t carry revolvers.” "It's common knowledge,” said Deborah impatiently. “What isn’t no generally known is that a few revolvers are kept at every police station for issue to policemen sent on especially dangerous errands. The regulations are strict: the danger has to be great before a firearm Is issued. Well, Miss Vail, I’U tell you this: if I were sending a man to arrest the murderer of Erica Garvin, I’d see that he went armed.” Deborah winced, struck again by the brutality of the murder. "You knew her,” she remarked. David Gray understood what she meant. “I met her several times,” he replied.

I .inn and Miss Dianne Linn, of Decatur; Mr. and Mrs. Linn Kern and Mrs. William Lenhart, Fort Wayne, and Dr. and Mrs. Orval Allen, of Marlon. Mrs. Henry Birdsall, of Shorthill, N.

•Did you like her?” •it wasn’t as simple as that You didn't just like her or not like her. The impact went deeper. I could say she was beautiful. That wouldn't be the half of it I couldn’t be with her and sum her up dispassionately. No man could, if he had blood in his veins. When you thought of her you got all tangled up emotionally." "You were in love with her.” ’Was I ? With another man's wife?” "The Chief Constable wouldn’t have approved?” said Deborah scornfully. "Blast the Chief Constable," said David Gray. "A man has principles.” He eyed her quizzically. “You wouldn’t be trying to make me out as a suspect?" "You have a little sports car. You wear tweed jackets.” “You’ve been listening to Old Mr#. Craw. An important point to remember about the old lady is that’ she’s 'asleep at her window as often as she’s awake. More than one man could have come to calf at the Garvin house while she was dozing. It happens she saw one man. We think it was Garvin.” "You knew Erica,” she persisted. “I think you fell for her. And, as Hector Maclnch pointed out, you’re a presentable bachelor." “And likely to remain one for long enough, I have my future to think of, Miss Vail." “You needn't make the point so earnestly. I have no designs on you.” “There’s only one answer to that” He took her in his arms and kissed her. It was a warm, fulllipped, expert kiss. But a wondering expression came into his eyes and he kissed her again, more gently. Deborah averted her head, turning her lips away. "Didn’t mean much to you, did it?" he said in a tone of pique, releasing her“Not much,” said Deborah. "Was it supposed to?” “Funny, it meant a lot more to me than I’d have expected.” For the moment he was not as self-assured as usual but Deborah felt no tolerance for him. How like the man, she thought How very like him, to grab a girl and kiss her on the confident assumption that she would enjoy it The truth of the adage, “Those who look for trouble usually find it” is confirmed for Deborah. Continue James Ronald’s new novel here tomorrow. A blackmailer is ready to strike.

Murder-Suicide At Fort Wayne Monday Eight Children Are Orphaned By Father FORT WAYNE OR Authorities said a man shot and killed his wife Monday night and then killed himself with the same shotgun. The couple's eight children and two other children were in the small apartment at the time of the shooting. Killed were Robert E. Ford, 48, Fort Wayne, and his wife, Aura. 33. Police said they were called to the east-side apartment Sunday night to "break up" a family argument and the shooting climaxed months of "fights." Police said Ford shot his wife twice—-once in the leg and once in the head. Then he put the shotIjun to his head. A daughter, Ann, 8, wat taken to St. Joseph's Hospital to have pellets removed from her head but her condition was not considered "serious.” The oldest of the orphaned children was 10.
