Berne-French high school basketball team carries the Adams county hopes to the regional tourney at Fort Wayne next Saturday. AU of Adams county should support the Frenchies in their encounter with Howe Military school. Both teams have about the same season record and the game should be a good one. South Side is favored to win, but stranger things have happened. —o— Now after unprecedented cold ‘ weather, parts of Florida are having heavy rainfaU, which is doing additional untold damage to fruit trees and crops. This year wiU be one which will be long remembered in the former sunshine state. Cold held the vacation crowds down and ruined crops. Now heavy rain is doing the same thing and many many people won’t even have enough money to get back north qn. o o—— The President and vice-presi-dent apparently have an understanding about when and if Mr. Nixon would take over the helms of the government, but there is a slight constitutional question pertaining to how the Presidency could revert back. Once a vice president has Assumed the Presidential authority, he continues in that office for the balance of the term. At least that is constitutional. Let’s hope that the agreement doesn’t have to be tried during this crucial time of our government. ■■-0 o ‘‘lmproving family and community living” is the theme of National 4-H week again this year. America’s 4-H clubs have led the way to improved farm living for many years and when the young people take hold of something, they really make it whirl. Keeping every farm child busy has been the job of 4-H clubs and »they have done a masterful job at this. The hundreds of clubs in the nation have done more to cause farm youths to remain on the farm than any single factor. Long may the 4-H clubs live. They do a great job.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Nors Pendleton knew soirieone wanted her to die. Until the nigbt t October 12th. she had never known fear for herself She had never had a care tn the world until she met Stuart Young, an unemployed'former medical student Within five weeks they were engaged. Then Stuart was arrested for the murdet of a young firl. "Candy" Kendrick. Noras riend* and kin believed Stuart to be guilty. But they had also thought him to be a fortune hunter. Interested in Nora because of her wealth Nora had testified at Stuart * trial that he'd been with her on a picnic at the time Candy was killed. But her cousin. Charles Deming, swore that he had seen Stuart and Candy just before the supposed time of the crime. The murder happened near the Connecticut inn run by Bert and Hazel Huger; distant cousins of Nora’s Charles’ young son. Frank, was there, and the local druggist. Howard Ives, and Nora’s aunt. Olive Riddle, who had served as her Joint guardian with Lawyer "Finn" Black until Nora came of age. As the story continues. Finn has phoned the inn to tell Nora that Stuart has been acquitted and the case is to be re-opened by police. While Nora is awaiting a reunion with Stu J art. Cousin Charles arrives and insists on staying. While Nora is worrying about a possible scene between the two men. Nurse Garry’ Garrison brings her an envelope. In it is a photograph of a laughing girl, signed "Love from Candy.” CHAPTER 4 NO ONE must see the photograph. That was important But putting it out of reach of the curious proved to be more difficult than Nora bad anticipated. Garry was as familiar with her belongings as she waa herself. Even the mattress would not serve as a temporary hiding place because the nurse turned it every day. At length Nora took down from the wall a lithograph of a Parisian street scene. — She fastened There was a tap on the door and with a guilty start she moved away toward the window. Hazel Huger came in with a rush, knocking things over. Hazel was a Pendleton, a remote connection of Nora's father, a rawboned woman in het thirties, hard working and cheerful. "Nora, we're so happy for you. So glad.” She rushed on without waiting for a reply. "Now what , about the Demings? That’s what 1 want to know. Are they to have their usual rooms? 1 don't deny that Bert and 1 count onothem every year but there's a limit. When 1 think of Deming on the witness stand almost swearing Mr. Young's life away, my blood boils." “But why did he do it?” Nora demanded. "I have my own ideas about that. Frank," Hazel said succinctly. "Deming would like to have Frank marry you- wh V he comes her* every October, just to throw you together.” There was something irresistibly comic in the idea of marrying Frank- Nora laughed and - then sobered.

"Well, say the word and we’U put a flea in Deming's ear and get him away from here if Bert has to push him out bodily. When it comes to a choice between the Demings or you—’’ “We can’t do it,’’ Nora said regretfully, "though heaven knows 1 hate having him here when Stuart comes. But we'ye all got to be available for questioning. The case is to be reopened.

When the nurse returned half l an hour later, Nora had finished ” her Bath and she was nearly 1 dressed.

SO?

someone came out of the living room and it was Stuart al last Not the white-faced, tense Stuart of the courtroom but the one she knew and loved. He nad Scandinavian coloring and features, very fair thick hair and deep blue eyes. But his smile Was Irish, irresistible. She ran to him. both hands outstretched, but because ot the tall man who watched them lazily, tie did not take her in his arms, did not kiss her. After the long separation they had both counted on that moment in each other's arms, needed it as reassurance, as reaffirmation. With an impatient look at the man by the counter Stuart took Nora’s arm and led her into the hying room. But even here there was no real privacy. The north end of the room opened with an archway onto the dining room where tables were being set by two waitresses. : Stuart's hands were on her shoulders, and at their touch Nora relaxed, feeling safe, feeling complete. From the • first meeting he had given her that sense of security. “It’s queer,” he said quietly. “In some ways it seems like a lifetime since I've looked at you: in some ways it might be yesterday. Do you still love me?” Nora did not answer in words, only by her smile, reassuring and loving. "There’s so much to say,” he told her, "but I've been thinking, darling. Let’s get married quietly, at once, and go away somewhere. Then we’ll have all the time in the world to talk.” ’ She shook her head. “We can't, Stuart" When she saw his expression, hurt and bewildered, she cried out “Oh, I want to. I do want to. But they won’t let us. The police are going to re-open the case. They are coming here to question us all over again.” His hands dropped and she felt bereft. She looked anxiously into his face, seeing the change in him. It wrenched her heart to see the light fade, the gladness drain away from him. “ Doors opened upstairs and she said quickly, “There’s something else, Stuart I’ve got to warn you before they come. Cousin Charles is her®-’’ ITie hard anger in Stuart’s face frightened her. She caught his clenched fist, held it against her cheek. "Don’t quarrel with him, dear. I understand how you feel but it will only make matters worse," she pleaded. "And we have no choice. He’s got to stay. Please hang on to your temper." The clenched hand .relaxed, his fingers brushed across her cheek. "AU right, I'll do my best. But Eve never figured out why he did it" (To Be Continued) 11 ;o. (King Fe*tuf*« Syndicate] ’

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Nora Pendleton knew someone wanted net to die. Until the night of October 12th. she had never Known fear tor herself. She had never had a care in the world until she met Stuart i’oung an unemployed former medical student. Within five wee'-.s they were engaged. Then Stuart was arrested for the murder of a your?irl.

Garry' Garrison, brings her an envelope containing a photograph of a laughing girl, signed Love from Candy She conceals it before Stuart arrives. After a reassuring greeting. Nora pleads with him to restrain his anger against Cousin Charles over the latter's testimony. W CHAPTER 5 HAZEL Huger came into the living room, announcing her arrival by a loud and tactful clearing of her throat. Stuart waited a trifle stiffly for her to make the first advance. Nora found herself hating the people who had ddne that to him, robbed him of his trust In his fellows. Then Hazel came forward, beaming, knocking over a vase of flowers.which she paused automatically to pick up. She shook hands warmly with Stuart "Do you want a cocktai) before dinner?” she asked, after they had exchanged greetings, “Os course we want cocktails." Finn called from the lobby. "We’ve got something to celebrate tonight and we are „oing to do it up brown. Hello, honey, let’s take a look at you. My God, you’re radiant!" He put his arm around Nora and gave her a bug. Seeing him like this. It was hard to believe that Finn was a successful trial lawyer. He was too average to be impressive. A little tuft of hair like a cock's comb withstood his efforts to subdue it and gave him an air of eccentricity, of impulse, though Finn always knew exactly what he was doing. What made him invaluable, both as a lawyer and as a friend, was his confidence. Finn was not a straw to grasp at, he was a whole sturdy raft. Now he devoted hiipself singlemindedly to mixing martinis at the table where Bert Huger had set out bottles, chilled glasses and ice. "Well, what do you say, boy?" Bert remarked jovially to Stuart.

Missile Age Is Shoving Jet Age Out Back Door

By JIM KLOCKENKEMPER United Press Staff Correspondent . WARREN, Mich. (UP) — • “There’s more to this business | than building the bird." Joe Wyskocil, 30, Mount Clemens, Mich., Is one of the hundreds of bright young engineers and technicians who have fascinating jobs in the nation’s newest indus-try-missile making. Joe is assistant managing engineer of the structures testing laboratory at the government’s Chrysler-operated plant producing the Army’s Redstone and Jupiter missiles near Detroit. Wyskocil and Bruce Stanaitis, ilso 30. of St. Clair Shores, are two of the laboratory supervisors. They have to find laboratory methods of testing materials and structures under conditions a rocket would encounter in space and in reentering the atmosphere. Intriguing And Challenging “It’s interesting, intriguing and challenging,’’ says Stanaitis, who ilustrated his point with a lamp devsed to create temperatures as high as 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Fhen he showed how dozens of these lamps were built into a hat-resistant oven Into this oven are shoved such Cpcket parts as nose cones and rib structures. 1o c k e d between hydraulic jacks which increase their pressure as the heat climb\ to thousands of degrees. Is the "reentry problem’’ — the problem of getting missiles back from space—solved? “The Army has solved it.“ Wyskocil and Stanaitis agreed. But beyond a reference to the Jupiter-C nose cone exhibited by President Eisenhower, they said this area is secret. The workers here feel pnd in their missile achievements. Part Os Th First One "How did we feel when the Ju-piter-C put our satellite into orbit?” said Frank Chambeau. 40. a general section foreman “We were happy, elated thrilled — to say the least. I guess we knew we could do it anyway, but we were certainly glad to be part of the first one.’’ Here at the Chrysler missile plant are two of the ex-German missile makers whose skills have so far put the Army in the lead in rocketry in America. The exGermans are Magnus von Braun. 38. younger brother of German V 2 expert and Army missiles leader Wernher von Braun, and Dr. Fritz Gievers, a guidance expert who invented the -V2 rocket gyroscopic control system. In a little-used back corridor of the plant lies a garish red-and-, yellow German V 2 rocket, the weapon which terrorized Britain in Hitler’s dying days. This 30foot long rocket now looks like

He was the shorter of the two and thick set but better looking than most of the men Nora knew. When he was not sulking he had a pleasant wit. "Nice to see you again, Bert,” Stuart said. Bert gave a guffaw. “Nice to see anyone who’s nbt in uniform, I bet." Hazels who had been supervising the maids, came charging into the living room. "Bert, you’ve got less tact than anything human! Build up that fire and come do the carving.” Bert's eyes flickered as they always did in response to any order. .Then he tossed a log negligently on the fire, winked at Stuart, and strolled out of the room. Almost immediately Olive Riddle came in with the Demings and the tutor. Olive seized Deming’s arm. “Now, Charles," she said, "Stuart has been acquitted and I think it is high time we were all friends. After all, you’ve got to face the fact that if Nora marries him he’ll be in the family.” For a moment the two men looked at each other. Then Deming held out his hand. “I seem to have made a bad mistake, Young. 1 am extremely sorry. Shall we let bygones be bygones?” After a hesitation that seemed endless, Stuart accepted the preferred hand. “Next time,” he said coolly, “you’d better be sure that you are right", “But 1 was sure this time,” Deming said, and any hope Nora had of healing the breach between the two men was gone. She stood staring into the fire, wondering in dismay why everything about her reunion with Stuart had gone wrong. Frank, looking embarrassed, elbowed his way past his father and held out his hand to Stuart “Congratulations,” he said. “I'm delighted to see you here.” He took a cocktail from Finn before Deming could Intervene, raised his glass. "To you and Nora.” There was something rather pathetic about the boy’s determination to break down the wall of hostility, particularly as he had the guilty but daring look of the person who knows he is transgressing and will be punished for it Stuart smiled and touched Nora’s arm. "Wake up, Nora. This toast is for us.” “There now,” Olive said, "those are the very words I heard you say at the picnic. With my very own ears," she added, as though to clinch the fact that she had heard through the usual channels. “And yet they tried to persuade me I never heard a thing, nted by permission of Dodd.

what it is — the model T of the space age. But like the automobile, it's here to stay Study Horsemanship Project In County About 30 interested persons met at the Adams Central school to discuss forming a 4-H horsemanship project in Adams county, Leo N. Seltenright, county agent, said * today. The group indicated that at least 35 or 40 young people would be interested in taking part in a horsemanship project here. The 4-H council will meet Friday to make further plans concerning the project. The council must approve all projects before they are started. If the project is approved, an advisory committee . from 4-H leaders and the Limberlost Trail club would outline the requirements and regulations of the project. Driver Is Arrested On Traffic Charge Larry G. Moses. 18. route 3, Decatur, was arrested Tuesday evening at 7 25 o’clock and charged with making an improper left turn which resulted in his losing control of the car he was driving on the Saddle Lake road, one-half mile east of Decatur. Moses failed to make the turn off U. S. highway 224 and went off the road onto the berm, which caused the car to spin. The car slid backwards for a total of 96 feet before hitting a tree. Damage was estimated at S4OO to the vehicle. The accident was investigated by sheriff Merle Affolder and state trooper Gene Rash. # The city police investigated an accident at 6 a m. this morning at the intersection of Monroe and Thirteenth streets.
