City officials and other Interested persons are studying the I & M offer to buy the city electric plant. No one has come forth yet with a definite proposal and the opinion right now appears to be that the offer is too l°w- Several officials, however, including the mayor are studying the proposal, so it can be thoroughly discussed in an early council meeting. o o Temperatures are still on the chilly side and forecasters predict that will be the menu at least for the first part of the week. At least we’re having a little more sunshine and the wind is swerving around to the south which almost always means warmer weather. News from the South isn't encouraging though and Florida still has pretty chilly weather for this time of year. Sunday’s top Palm Beach temperature was a cool 63 degrees during the afternoon baseball game. o o— — Regardless of who it is, people who violate a trust, whether they are relatives, friends or acquaintances of the President certainly should be treated the same as any other individual who has attempted to sell favors and patronage. If anything, the higher-ups perhaps should be treated a little rougher because they have more to offer. We can’t feel sorry for those who get caught and we hope that these investigating bodies will deal with the guilty quickly and with an idea of not permitting its recurrence. o o The two Chicago boys, sons of a policeman, who have confessed the setting fire to a school and causing a $400,000 blaze are not worthy of a free life among our citizens at least until they prove themselves. Where were the par--■ents when these boys were running loose? Generally these acts of vandalism do not occur in well managed homes and then when caught, the parents have all kinds of excuses to get their children out of trouble, which is probably natural but not right. We'll venture a guess that these children yere permitted to run wild without much supervision.

The government will dilly dally around and then attempt to pass a lot of laws in the last few days of Congress and that’s always when we get bad laws. o—o We can’t remember in the last 25 years when highway berms have looked as littered and bad as they do right now. Certainly people driving through northern Indiana notice this and surely some of them know we have laws prohibiting the throwing of cans and rubbish from cars onto the highways. Let’s have just a little law enforcement and a few arrests certainly would make the job easier for those who have to keep the highways clean. ——o—o There was a man who lived by the side of the road, and he sold hot dogs .’He was hard of hearing, so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes, so he read no newspapers. But he sold good hot dogs, he put signs upon the highway, telling how good they were. He stood by the side of the road and cried “Buy a hbt dog, Mister?” and people bought. He increased his meat and bun order. He bought a bigger stove, to take care of his trade. His business was good and growing daily. Finally it became so big that he called his son home from college to help him. But then something happened! His son said, “Father, haven’t you been listening to the radio? Haven't you been reading the newspapers? There’s a big depression on. The European situation is terrible. The domestic Situation is worse. Every thing’s going to pot.” Whereupon the father thought, “Well, my son’s been to college, he reads the papers and he'listens to the radio, and he ought to know.” So the father cut down on his meat and bun orders, took down his advertising signs, and no longer bothered to stand out on the highway to sell .his hot dogs. And his hot dog sales fell off,, almost overnight. “You’re'fight, son.die' * father said to his boy. "We certainly are in the middle of a great recession.” •

A symphony orchestra “first” was initiated in 1943 when a series of industrial concerts was arranged for employes of Indianapolis business establishments.

On a rainy day like this it ts difficult to arrange any privacy." She strolled beside Stuart along a path that led past the tennis courts toward the stables. Her blue raincoat was belted and fastened to the throat out the hood was pushed back. They walked slowly, nand in nand. She stole sidelong glances at him as though to reassure herself that he was actually there. “It’s good to be able to walk out of doors again," he said suddenly. “To be free." There wasn’t, Nora told him, a single day when she nad not thought of what it meant to be penned up tn a cell. He looked down at her and smiled. “But that is all behind us. We’U try to wipe it out We have the present. The future, anyhow. We won’t walk far today: it may rain again, and you mustn't get too tired. But 1 had to see you alone. Somehow, we haven’t had a chance to find each other.” She knew what he-meant. She, too, had had that sense of strangeness, of a barrier, ever since their reunion. He turned and took her tn his arms, kissing her until her lips were warm and she clung to him. "Well," he said at last, releasing her. "that's more like IL I was getting worried about you, you seemed so cool and remote.” "So neurotic,” she said tn disgust "I’m ashamed of going to pieces last night” "That /wsa Just reaction,” he said quickly.

communities were begun. Through money obtained from the recording industries fund, the orchestra, under Izler Solomon, was able to perform a series of concerts in the neighborhood areas. The orchestra added to" its laurels in 1951 when it presented a telecast from the studios of WFBM-TV, Indianapolis, under a sponsorship. This marked the nation’s first commercially sponsored telecast by a major symphony orchestra. With approximately a dozen new American compositions performed ; each season, the orchestra also enjoys the distinction of being a top performer of American composi- ■ tions. The orchestra has recorded for both RCA Victor and Capitol ; records. The Indianapolis symphony orchestra has attracted wide atteni tion as the nation’s most traveled i orchestra. Each year it travels ex- : tensively to some particular section of the country and has journeyed in excess of 100,000 miles to more than 30 states during the . past generation. Izler Solomon, the conductor of the symphony orchestra, has been awarded many distinctions includ- * ing the award of honor by the nato attend.

take your cousin Deming over the hurdles this tune.” “They are bound to. I think Cousin Charles is really worried.” She added slowly, "I’m sure when he planned to come back here he. never expected the case to reopen.” “But why did he come?" Nora hesitated. “Hazel Huger thinks he wants Frank to marry me —for the Pendleton money.” Stuart frowned. "Has Frank ever paid any particular attention to you?” “Heavens, no! We’ve known each other all our lives, of course, and we’re fond of each other. But that’s all. Frank has no more interest tn me than I nave in him." When he was silent she asked, “What are you thinking?” "I’m wondering,” he said slowly, “if Deming was behind the rest of the business: the planted handkerchief, the anonymous letter, It’s the first suggestion of a motive I’ve come across so far." She shook her head decisively. “No, that’s not possible, it just isn’t likfe Cousin Charles.” Stuart was sunk m thought He sipoke abruptly. “Okay, I see now why Deming is anti-Young, but how about your aunt? Last night she didn't try to conceal her hostility. All that business about having to face the fact I'd be in the family if you married me. And she implied gp been playing around with that girl." “It wasn’t you as Stuart she was attacking," Nora explained. “It was you as my fiance, you as beneficiary in my wilt Aunt Olive ts really warped about money.” She laughed sqftly. Stuart kissed her cheek. “I like to see you laugh. You don’t laugh enough.” “When this is over," she promised him. “I’ll laugh and sing all day long." "And meanwhile you aren’t to worry any more Let’s just run over that afternoon, darling, so you'll be all set for questioning." “We’d planned the picnic so we’d have a chance to get away by ourselves,” she replied almost automatically. She had answered the question before. "Hazel fixed us a picnic basket and we drove up to Lookout Point, parked the car and found a good place for lunch and a nice cleared spot for a fire. We ate lunch and then we talked and talked and talked. Yow were out of my sight only for brief periods of a few minutes when you got more wood for the fink Then when it grew ctiilly we drove back to the inn. About six.” Stuart nodded. "Thai* clear

As a successful conductor trained and seasoned in this country, as an inter- ; pretative artist of exceptional skill, and as an influential leader of musical opinion, he has brought distinction to the American scene. It has been Izler Solomon's firm belief that a love and understanding of music must begin with young people. He has given tirelessly of his time toward this belief, having taught music in public schools as well as having given hundreds of concerts for children. In the young people he recognizes the civic and cultural leaders of tomorrow and encourages them to participate actively in the life of their orchestras. During the summer of 1956 Solomon became the first American conductor to serve as festival director of the Aspen, Colo., music festival and he was invited to return for the summer of 1957, at which time he signed a contract for two more years. meetings. An announcement was made concerning the officers training day to be held at Adams Central for all of the newly installed officers. Elected into office and their offices: Miss Carol Norquest, president; Miss Linda Sexton, vice president; Miss Rita Norquest, secretary; Miss Cindy Collier, treasurer; Miss Colleen Kelly, news reporter; Miss Janet Winteregg, song leader; Miss Sharon Sudduth, health and safety, leader: and Miss Lindh Geyef and Miss Jean Swickard, recreational leaders.

Finn seemed to believe it was a kind of threat someone telling me 1 couldn’t get away with it And something happened after 1 went upstairs last night I’ve been—trying to tell you all day. Someone got tn my room and tried to smother me." He got the story out of her quickly. "You had no idea who it was—assuming that this really happened?" She shook her head. "I hate leaving you alone at night.” he groaned. “Get your nurse to sleep in your room after this. And we’ll be married as soon as the police agree.” “The very first minute," she promised. It started to sprinkle again and they turned back toward the inn. "I’ve been thinking, Nora," Stuart said after a pause, “ever since Finn spoke up at lunch today and dropped that bombshell about your new will. It’s a mistake and 1 hope you won’t sign it. To begin with, you've given me the whole works and 1 don’t want it It’s you 1 want And you are making enemies at a bad 1 time. A very bad time. Mrs. Riddle—" "She bothers you, doesn’t she ?" "She sure does bother me," Stuart admitted. “She la a shrewd woman in a lot of ways. She has a sort of low cunning, and I don’t like those hints she was throwing out about not seeing you that day. How far would she go tor money?" Nora was appalled. "But you’re suggesting blackmail!" - “She did see you that day. She must have seen you if she was close enough to see me, as she claims, and to hear me talking to you." “You try," Nora said, "to make her believe that." "I intend to." They had reached the inn.

I am also a user of so called power, in the rural district. I have never seen a thing aboift’ the rural situation, it is all about the Decatur users. I will give you one example, and there are many like it. I paid S2OO to hook on for lights, and have light bills, lowest sls to SBS. a month. We are paying double and not getting the proper voltage. We can’t make coffee, run the electric stove, and play T.V. at the same time. You in Decatur can have it the rest of your life, paying for something you aren’t getting. But let us in the rural off. I think the power system has been examined very good, by one of the biggest electrical supplies in the country, and it is in poor condition, when it takes $1,000,000 to get it up in share. I am not the smartest person in the world, but I can tell when 1 am being robbed in broad daylight. -- —1 Glen E Clark, ~ R.
