Gov. Handley says if he doesn’t run for Senator next year he will be a dead duck. We'd venture a guess that he’s a dead duck any- ‘ way. -o -o—One last warning. If you’re planning a motor trip over the holiday, please follow the few simple driving rules. Let's all live to enjoy many more holidays. 0 O Business in Decatur came to an almost standstill in Decatur tonight for the Christmas holiday. Decatur trading has been above the state average and while some merchants state that they are behind sales of a year ago, the figures.for this season are good. Surely all of them have deserved Christmas off. O .0.0. The Daily Democrat wishes to reaffirm its policy that all letters to the editor must be signed, so they can be verified with the writer before publication. These columns are for the readers, and we welcome the letters, but they must be signed or they will go into the waste basket ——o— — o There isn’t too much optimism concerning the economic outlook. Perhaps if the auto manufacturers would take a look at their prices and cut them to where the average person could buy, the picture would change in a hurry. Mr. Average man just can't do it at the continuing high prices. o o We have received our annual Christmas message from the Ed» Boknecht family. The Boknechts have lived in California for a good many years, but they still claim Decatur as home and Decatur claims them. We were especially pleased to note that Mr. Boknecht's health is much better and he has been out of the sanitarium for almost two years now and showing steady improvement. We hope they have many years of prosperity and happiness.

Even the grass entered into the spirit of temperatures the last few days and again started to turn green. However we are positive that spring is a long way off. o O—■ This will be a busy time for the incoming board or county commissioners. The two Republican members will have several important appointments and of course one difficulty will be the necessity of convincing new appointees of the permanency of the job. As a general rule, Democrats are in the majority in this county and that makes the appointing job a little more difficult. o o One of the greatest professional football games of all times was played at San Francisco Sunday afternoon. Detroit beat the 49ers by a few scant points in a thriller to win the western division playoff and the right to meet Cleveland next Sunday for the world championship. The game next Sunday should be a dandy, but we would have to string along with Detroit, because of their great ability to overcome any odds and fight back.

Don’t be misled by all the patent medicine and tooth paste claims made on television. If you're planning to .desert the family doctor or dentist in favor of the slick talk of some television quacker, be sure of your footing. Remember if these various tquted remedies were- as good as claimed, nothing else would sell. The color of the soap doesn’t help the soap a bit and until filter cigarets are proved, they aren’t a bit better than regulars, except they’re more expensive and one gasoline which meets the national standards is just as good as another. Go slow before you swallow the slickedtongue sales talks. Most of the items are the old ones dressed up to gather in the gullible.

CHAPTER 28 IT INFURIATED Andrew Gar--1 vin to feel he was spied on at every turn, even tn the normal pursuit of his vocation as artist For weeks he had been tensing to have it out with the police, to demand that they either arrest him or leave him alone. It was galling to glance up from his easel and see a policeman determinedly Idling not far. off. That he could not even picnic with a girl on a Hillside without being watched was the last straw.. For his part, David Gray resented being called a spy. Even professional spies prefer a less odious appellation. He was off duty. He nad a book with nim. He had planned an afternoon of study. True, be had known for a week that Andrew was painting in this vicinity: but it was not Andrew who brought him here. He had glimpsed Deborah putting a picnic basket into her car and followed her on impulse, knowing of her propensity for getting into trouble. It was not an explanation he could offer even if he had been in a placatory mood, which he was not For days he had been smarting from a verbal lashing administered by the Chief Constable, who accused him of bungling the Garvin case; a frustrating experience for an ambitious man. And now here was Andrew charging up with fire in his eyes. He hankered to meet him with a clenched fist Behind the Inevitable antagonism of policeman and suspect lay a deeper enmity. Since they were small boys in their first school caps, tn the same form at the same school, Andrew Garvin and David Gray had been hostile to each other. One an extrovert, the other an introvert, both outstanding and vigorous personalities but as unlike as denizens of different planets, they had rasped on each other like opposing abrasives from infancy to adolescence. They could not lucidly have explained this tacit dislike. It was simply that when one appeared the other’s hackles rose. One had achieved his early ambition and become an artist The other, eager to follow in his father's footsteps as a doctor, had been forced by lack of funds to give up that cherished dream and join the police force. Although David had become proud of his calling, it had rankled at first to know that people were joking about him as he paced a beat in uniform. His satisfaction with financial security and promotion was diminished by Andrew's winning a thousand-pound prize and returning from London with a wife who was the most beautiful woman David had ever seen.

American Reds To Close Daily Worker To Stop Publishing / Red Party's Organ NEW YORK (UP)—The American Communist Party has voted to close down the Daily Worker as of next week. The decision to stop publishing the party organ came at a secret meeting of the party’s national executive committee last weekend. But Daily Worker editor John Gates said Wednesday a formal statement he would try to continue the 34-year-old paper. Gates satd he did not consider the vote binding, and “in any case, the Daily Worker will cease to exist only when it alone says so." The Daily Worker in October printed a sworn statement that its average paid circulation in the preceding year was 5,574. This was a drop of 1,821 from the previous year and a slide of 15,500 from

Since young manhood they had purposely kept aloof from each other. Until now. They were in no mood to settle their differences with words. Neither ot them could have been coherent tn argument The tapt that a brawl could cost David nis rank meant nothing. Andrew did not think of the consequences to turn of a fight with a police inspector. David was twenty pounds the heavier but the artist had a fehne agility and his wrists and forearms were incredibly strong. They were evenly matched, equally angry, and neither cared about being hurt if only he could hurt the other. It was only by chanCe that David struck the first blow. 'Andrew was rushing at him. David put up his fist and hit Andrew on the mouth. It might have been a brush with a feather for all the notice the artist took tn his hot anger. Andrew lashed out swiftly with his right fist, then his left The blows went through his adversary’s guard and landed on his lower ribs and Jaw. David staggered back and Andrew followed him with a flurry of swift thrusts that pounded flesh and bone again and again. David went down and Andrew stood panting, waiting with hands clenched for him to rise. As his back touched the ground. David rolled over and scrambled up. He lunged at Andrew with his head down, taking a smash across the mouth that brought blood, but succeeding in gripping him about the chest with both arms. They struggled and swayed, legs interlocked, feet scrabbling, shoulders jabbing, and went down In a tangle, rolling qver and over on the grassy slope. David emerged from the tangle astride the other man, striving for a grip that would give him control when, with a powerful upthrust of stomach and knees, Andrew threw him ofl. They sprang simultaneously and drove at each other again, smashing, pounding, each taking as much punishment as he dealt out Neither cared for anything but getting at the other man. Deborah had followed Andrew up the incline and now stood helplessly watching the fight She had never before seen grown men using their fists on each other and had no idea how to stop them. It looked as if they meant to kill each other. She winced with every telling punch that landed and, at last, covered her eyes with her hands, unable to bear the sight any longer. A voice behind her said, "They're really going at It, aren’t they ?” Whirling round, uncovering her

the paper’s all-time high in 1938 of about 20,000. 'lndications that the Daily Worker was operating deep in the red came recently when it was cut from eight to four pages and from five to four issues a week. Suspension of the newspaper would leave the Communist Party in New York City with only one newspaper, the Worker, the weekend edition of the Daily Worker. Another apparent reason the national executive group voted to suspend the paper was the feeling in some party quarters that Gates has made it his personal sounding board instead of a party organ. Former Decatur Lady Dies At Indianapolis Mrs. Ed Carmichael, about 55 years old, died at Indianapolis Monday, and the funeral was held today at her home in Marion. A former member of the Decatur First Baptist church, Mrs. Carmichael is survived by her husband, two sons, and a duaghter.

eyes, she saw Hector Maclnch strolling across the grass, clad in gray-.tweeda and nonchalantly swinging a walking stick. He had the same complacent air she had noticed at his dinner party, as it the world were his own. The twinkling eyes in the ruddy, well-. > fleshed face were bright with interest Watching the fight, he was as gleeful as any mischievous urchin. “Does it thrill you to see them fighting over you?” he asked Deborah. “Me!" she said astonished. "You’re wrong. They're fighting over something entirely different" matter what they imagine their quarrel to be.” said Hector, “they are really fighting over you. Which do you want to win?" “Don’t stand there preening yourself!” Deborah cried furiously. “Can’t you do something?" "What, for instance?” “Stop them!” she cried more angrily. “My dear girl, I wouldn’t dream of interfering. It’s years since I’ve witnessed anything halt so stirring. 1 find the spectacle enthralling. You wouldn't be willing to make a small wager on the outcome? No, I was afraid you wouldn’t Pity." The sun racing the clouds cast a pattern of light and shadow that skimmed over the rougn grass. A sea gull screamed raucously, hovering tn suspended flight A light wind blew in from the west with the salt of the sea on its breath. “A grand day for a walk in the country," said Hector, in the jovial tone that rarely varied whether he was being cutting or kind. "1 loathe walking, but my doctor insists. Now I’m glad he does, or 1 should have missed a sight worth a hundred weary miles." "Men battling like animals?" She was astounded by Hector's indifference to two humans hurting each other. “My dear Miss Vail, man is an animal. Don’t be deceived merely because he drinks tea out of a cup. It is by repressing animal instincts that one gets nervous breakdowns and such disorders. Far better punch an enemy's head or tear at his throat than let hatred brew poison inside of you" "I think you’re loathsome." She looked around wildly for other help in breaking up the fight "That’s rather a pity, for 1 think you’re charming,” Hector responded. Deborah clenched her fists and began, to scream in hysteria . . . she was shocked beyond all self-control. —Continue the story here tomorrow.
