Food prices at the wholesale level are reported by Dun and Bradstreet to have increased again this week. Present price averages are re ported to be the highest in the last two and a half years. o—o After numerous delays, Gov. Handley again announces that he will .give a report to the people on the first year of his administration over television next Tuesday. He has asked for a half hour o ftlme and now people are wondering what he will do with the other 25 minutes after he has told of his first year’s accomplishments. o <) The squabble over federal agencies as to who would control the space machines and we might say what space machines, is going strong and we surely need a strong hand to step in and tell everybody who the boss is if we have one.

This is another service of Decatur stores to shoppers of this area. You can still find many Christmas and regular items in Decatur stores and you can’t make better buys anywhere. Trade in Decatur and watch your shopping dollars go farther. —j —o -'-O Phil Dickens. Indiana University head football coach, suspended a year ago from the Western Conference has been reinstated. Just why the Big Ten officials picked on Indiana is still a mystery. It is generally known that Western Conference colleges have long recruited athletes, and certainly a suspension for a stronger team would have been more impressive. Anyway we’re glad coach Dickens is back and we believe he will usher a new era of football into Indiana it given the opportunity for a few years.

CHAPTER 24 W/HEN DEBORAH VAIL apW proached Scobie’s converted shed, his dog raved and snarled at her, straining on the chain. It was a huge black beast, part Labrador,' part mastiff, with ah awesome set of teeth. Its hackles were risen and the fierce teeth were bared. Deborah said, “Good boy," soothingly, but took care to keep out of reach. The animal was not appeased. His objective seemed to be less to frighten her away than to get hold of her and rip her to pieces. It was reassuring to see that the links of the chain were strong. Deborah was carrying a ‘small parcel. Opening it, she took out a piece of liver and threw it to the dog. She had feared he might have been trained to reject food from strangers but from the way he snapped up the morsel in midair and gulped it down she surmised that he welcomed food from any source. She spoke to him again, a seductive crooning that commiserated with his loneliness and ' offered comfort He quieted a little but regarded her with an unwinking stare as if speculating on the chances of getting her within reach. While talking on and on, in a consoling murmur, she kept throwing him scraps of liver. He ate them voraciously and whined for more. When the paper was empty she made a ball of it. threw it away, and showed the dog her empty hands. Squatting on her heels, so that their faces were on a level, she said, “Good boy. Poor old boy. Don’t be afraid. I shan't hurt you." The words were ridiculous, she was well aware, for if ‘good boy 1 got loose it would be a case of him buying her, certainly not the other way round. Nevertheless, her sympathetic tone and obvious friendliness began to mollify the animal. He stopped straining. His lips hung down, hiding the fearsome teeth. His stubby tail began to thump against the wooden wall of the shack. Very slowly, very steadily, Deborah put out a hand until it was close enough for the dog to smell and inspect. Now was the crucial moment. He might bite. If he bit he might hold on. There was no saying what he might do. But Deborah all her«life had felt a love of dogs and none of them had ever rejected her. Thia one licked hsr hand. “Good boy,” she said again. "Good old Blafkie-boy." She stroked his ears, hfs skull, his neck, the long black back

Girl Scouts Brownie troop 31 met with 19 members present Wednesday afternoon at the Lincoln school. Marsha Basham, president, led the Brownie promise, and Jayne Ann Garner collected the dues. After the treat, provided by Donna Smith, we made Christmas tree table decorations, then closed the meeting with the Good Night Brow-nies song.

that had bristled with ferocity only a little while before. He responded to her almost feverishly, out of a long submerged but not yet extinct yearning for love. It would not yet be safe for her to try the door. Almost certainly he would stop her in spite of their newfound friendship, for that was what he was there to do. You could not overcome training, habit and instinct with a few morsels of liver and a show of affection. In any case, she noticed, the padlock was much too massive to yield to anything less than a sledge hammer. Rising, she went to a window and peered in. There was nothing much to be seen except the stove, the table with the remains of, a meal, the bicycle, a chair or two, the tumbled bed and'some orange crates full of tools and other oddments. It would have been difficult for her to say what she had expected to accomplish by this visit, but she was not dissatisfied. By the time she left the dog had become a friend and whined beseechingly after her. / “I’ll be back, Blackie-boy," she told him. “I’ll be back one day soon." ... , The gate was crudely fashioned from odds and ends of lumber. As she pushed on it, she glanced back and noticed a lean-to shed behind the hen run. With the idea that it might repay inspection she made her way to the shed across a waste of ragged grass and weeds. The door was fastened only with a hasp. When she dragged it open it hung at a tipsy angle from one hinge. Inside she found a heap of sacks, some bags of feed for the hens, and a few rusty tools hanging from nails driven into the crossmembers. In the faint hope that something might be hidden under them she began to turn over the sacks. She was balancing on her heels, holding the lowermost sack' in her hands and examining the bare earthen floor on which it had lain, when a shadow fell across her shoulder. Tuniing in alarm, she saw the loutish form of Scoble blocking the narrow doorway. He was eyeing her in away that made her heart pound with fright. “Ah heard ma dug barkin’," he said slowly, “an’ came back as quick as ah could.” A glint of humor, of a venomous sort, briefly lit his sullen eyes. “If it’s anither ring ye've lost, ye’ll no’ be findin’ it there.” She tried to speak but no words would come. In his hand was a chunky billet of wood which he had picked up as a

weapon on his stealthy return through the fields. Noticing her frightened eyes on it, Scobie sniggered. “Aye," he said tauntingly, "a blow from thia wH change that... pretty face for ye.* Suddenly she sprang up and threw the sack over his head and shoulders. He flung up his arms to ward off the dusty encumbrance and she hurled herself at the narrow gap between him and the door post. With elbows, shoulders, knees, she thrust, pushed, jabbed; and Stumbled, bruised and out of breath, into the-open air. It took an instant for her to realize that she was free; and then she started running as fast as she could toward the road. „ Before she had gone twenty yards the billet of wood, hurled with savage force, struck her between the shoulder blades. Toppling forward, reaching out her hands to break the impact with the ground she felt a stab of pain as her knee hit a stone. Sprawling full length, winded and helpless, she heard the footsteps of Scobie nearing until he stood over her. Seeing a hob-nailed boot drawn back in readiness to aim a kick, Deborah threw up both arms to protect her head. That moment of cowering on the ground, waiting to feel the hurt to come, seemed an eternity. In her despair she kept thinking, he daren’t kill me, he daren’t kill me; but who knew what extreme of suffering he could inflict while still leaving the breath in her body? All her life she had displayed a certain reckless daring but with that facade shattered she felt herself a coward. She was ready to scream with the anguish of expected pain before the pain itself was felt. It was the waiting that was so dreadful, the tensing of flesh and sinew in apprehension of what was coming. She could have cried out to him: "Go on! Go on! Get it over with." Half dazed by fear, she heard the impact of a blow. But there was no pain to her. There was a hoarse outcry and a scrambling of feet on rocky soil. Raising her head, bracing her tremulous body with numbed arms, she saw Scobie struggling brutally with another man. They broke apart and she saw that the newcomer was Andrew Garvin ... The battle isn’t over, yet; nor is Scobie done with Oclx»rah.

LEGALLY SPEAKING (This article is one in a series of 30 by the Adams county bar association presented as a public service by the Decatur Daily Democrat to Inform the public of the point out various problems services of the lawyer and to which might arise when competent legal advice is not obtained. These articles are not intended to answer individual problems which require specific advice.) Promise Not Binding Do you want your favorite niece to have your diamond ring, or a nephew to have the sword that grandfather used in the Civil War? These and other objects may be freely given away, provided the legal requirements for making a gift are present You may want to . make the bequest in a will, others may exercise their generous inclinations on the death bed (a gift causa mortis). Or, you may make a gift intervivos, that is, an immediate, voluntary and gratuitous transfer of property by one to another. Often, the giver' never parts with his property, but repeatedly promises the prospective recipient that he will give ’him the ring, or the sword. A mere promise to make a gift is without legal effect. Thus, if the promised property is never delivered to you, you cannot compel the donor, or his estate to make the gift. To illustrate, Aunt Martha may place the diamond ring in an envelope labeled “property of my niece. Jane.” She places the envelope in her safe deposit box. Aunt Martha, of course, keeps the key to her box. The law holds that the intended gift to the niece is ineffective. Gifts of such interests as stocks, bonds and money have been a fruitful source of litigation. Though the donor mav intend to give away the stow, or money deposited in a bank account. the gift is not ordinarily effective unless he surrenders the passbook, or stock certificates to the donee, or to an agent of the donee. Special rules apply to the joint ownership of U. S. government bonds. Merely depositing money in a -joint- adeountr irr thF flame’ Os "tH« donor and donee, without giving the dopee any control over the money for his benefit is ineffective. Nor is the mere giving, of a written promise to the donee, in your death, effective. In these illustrations the delivery is defetive. The law insists upon the best manner of delivery of the property considering the nature to be delivered and the circumstances of the parties. In the case of tangible property Such as a ring or sword, there must ordinarily be a handing over of the ring or the sword to the donee, or his agent —.. The law places some restrictions on gifts where the rights and interests of creditors may be affected. One may not give away his property when he is insolvent. Nor mfiy be given away property to such an extent that he will be insolvent. Nor may he give away property to such an extent that he will be rendered insolvent, thereby. One must retain sufficient property in his personal estate to pay his creditors. There are tax consequences worthy of consideration.

worthwhile to consider the desirability of giving away property now, or leaving property to the donee in a will where estate taxes may apply. An individual may make a gift of up to $3,000 each year without a liability for gift tax. If the gift is made by a husband, a wife, or by one with the consent of the other, the exclusion is $6,000. In addition, to the annual exclusion of $3,000, the federal tax laws allow a specific lifetime exemption of $30,000 to an individual, and $60,000 to a husband and wife.
