There is still,some ice on a few of the Indiana lakes, but it’s not too safe any more. The big breaks will come soon now and boats will be launched for the summer season. —--o o►— The Church of the Nazarene is fifty years old this year and Nazarene congregations all over the nation will hold special ob- 1 servations of the golden year. Observations in numerous parts of the nation will continue through most of the year. oh—o Slowly temperatures edge upward and it won't be long now until we’ll have some good summer weather. It's time now to plant your grass seed and get the flower beds riady. o -o We believe the best shot in the arm for everyone right now would be a good sized general tax cut for the balance of this year. Even if it were of a temporary nature, people would feel better. o o Lenten programs continue at most Decatur churches and you who have not taken advantage of these special services have missed a lot. Generally, attendance has been excellent, which speaks well for Decatur citizens. ——<o o The county commissioners have found it necessary to close the Court House rest rooms at night and over week-ends because of the serious damage done nightly by vandals. The move is a temporary one and we hope that some plan can be devised to reopen the rooms soon. o o __ We regret the death of R. V. Fischer, Kendallville newspaper editor of long standing. Mr. Fischer grew up in the Kendallplant „and. «. was the only ~ place he ever worked. He was well known throughout Indiana as a newspaperman and editor. His post will be hard to fill.

The Court House lawn looks pretty tacky. Newspapers are strewn around and several beer cans mar the lawn. Several Decatur streets also look like an outside tavern. —-io o Do you realize that before long now schools will be dismissed for summer vacations and spring will be along most any day now. I Summer jobs will probably' -be pretty scarce this year, which will give us some opportunity to get our lawns in shape. These are the long days now, waiting for summer after a tough winter. ■t o o Rev. C. E. Lykins, popular pastor of the Decatur Church of the Nazarene has been invited to return to this city for another year and we join his many friends in hoping that he accepts the call to come back. Rev. Lykins has done a good job in Decatur and he has the respect and admiration of all who know him both in and out of his own church. Decatur is extremely fortunate in having fine men like Rev. Lykins as pastors of the various churches and this is one of the things which makes Decatur the fine city it is. o o-— Announcement has been made that the Decatur Library will undergo some remodeling changes. The adult reading room will be moved to the first floor, so that older people can be accommodated and the children’s rooms will remain on the second floor. Miss ' -Bertha' plained the contemplated changes at this week's meeting of the Lions club. The national book week speaker was introduced by Dr. N. A. Bixler,-ef-ficient and long time board president. Library offices will remain on the second floor along with the children’s departments. It is a good move and will facillitate more use of the entire building. The Library board is one of the most active of any of the boards and its work has paid off by constantly increased use of the building.

CHAPTER U A SLIM, fair young man was ' ‘ standing in the lobby at the? inn, waiting for Bert Huger to look up from the newspaper he was reading in the office. ’ The latter did so. "Lookingfor someone?” "Well, actually—” Before he could finish Nora cried breathlessly, “Hiram Potter! What a delightful surprise!" Mr. Potter noticed in coacern how thin she had grown, saw the dark shadows under her eyes, the look of strain around her tneuth. Surprise, is it, he thought, and picked up his cue smoothly. “Nora! 1 had no idea you were here. I thought I’d get in a nice active week of horseback riding and walking and perhaps some tennis. You are *an extra dividend." “Bert," said Nora, "Mr. Potter Is an old and dear friend. I’d like very much to nave him stay.” Bert looked from one to the other. "We’ve got three extras right now. This is supposed to be our vacation. If Hazel has to cook for a whole mob—" “I'll make it up to her,” Nora said quickly. » Bert shrugged heavy shoulders and ambled out of the room. Nora held out both hands to Mr. Potter. "I'm so gladyou came. So grateful. 1 was afraid you wouldn’t understand my— ’’ "Call tor help?” “1 suppose it did sound like that. Come into the living room. There’s so little time and I have so much to say. Did you know the police are igolng to re-open the case?" "1 assumed they would." Mr. Potter asked quietly, “Is that what ls”wrong? Are you afraid of the police, Nora?" “No, not of them. It’s worse than that. Either I’m going mad or someone ts trying to kill me. and 1 hardly know which is worse.” She told him everything, the words tumbling over each other. When she had finished she was shaking from head to foot. He put his hands on her shoulders, gently forced her down into a chair. “There are a few points I’d like to know more about,” he said. “First—changing yoar will. Have you signed the new one yet?” > “No. It won’t be ready for me until tomorrow or the next day." "You cut out the Demings, .your aunt and the Ungers. Does that mean you believe one of them tiled to kill you?"

are going to Greentown March 29. They will wear black skirts and the boy£ will wear black pants. They will all wear white blouses and shirts with black bows for the girls and black ties for the boys. We want to wish them lots of luck in the contest. - P.M.H.S.— All of the boys in ag. class went to the orchard which they are working on Wednesday all day pruning trees. They are expecting to get a lot of money from their apples next fall. They all worked hard and got a lot done. - P.M.H.S.— The choir will sing for the Adams county historical society meeting which will be held at the Pleasant Mills high school Tuesday.

"There isn’t any other choice, is there?" Nora said. ’’Oh,. theremight bes he said absently. “Your nurse, for one.” Nora shook her head. “Not Garry! In the first place, she is the only one who wouldn’t profit by my death. .And then—you don’t know what I owe her. She nursed me in the hospital and probably saved my life. She has been with me ever since. She looks after me like a mother.” “Why have you needed a nurse all these months?” “1 ' don’t really,” Nora said. “But I haven’t picked up strength and my physician said he’d feel much happier if she continued to be with me. But why on earth —” “Well," Mr. Potter saW,“there are several points. One, she brought you the photograph of Candy. Two, she eavesdropped on the conversation last night. Three, she is in love with Howard Ives, who is one of the few suspects for Candy’s murder.” “Garry is in love with him?” she said incredulously. “How do you know?” v He told her about the accidental meeting which had so obviously been planned by the nurse. A woman on the prowl if he hall ever seen one. "Garry!” she said at length. "Isn't there anyone at all 1 can trust except you and Stuart?" He looked down into her eyes. "Let me do the worrying tot a while." he suggested. ‘Tell yourself you've handed me the burden. Can you do that?” Her eyes met his unblinkingly. “I can do that," she said. “Fine! I’m here for action and champing at the bit to get started. Where do 1 find people around here?" She smiled at his enthusiasm. "Stuart is outside. Talk to him before you meet the others, so you won’t be prejudiced. 1 want you to like him.” Tm sure 1 shall. Now you run upstairs and change your shoes p.nd stockings. They're wet." He watched her go up the stairs. Then he sauntered out onto the lawn. Only one man was in sight, a good-looking fellow with the kind of shoulders Mr. Potter envied. For a mothent he studied Stuart Young without moving. First impressions were always important Before he had made up his mind to approach Young the latter. who had been looking down toward the lake, started purposefully tn that direction. Mr. Potter drifted along behind. Stuart had joined a slim, darkhaired woman who was standing beside the boathouse and Mr.

j Sharon Bebout, Betty Myers, and, Kathy Shoaf will present two' numbers at the junior play. They | have selected “Lollipop" for one i but have not as yet decided upon • I the other. The boy’s quartet will S 1 also sing. They have not chosen I i their numbers. —P.M.H.S.— The physics class and the senior ‘ English class went to Fort Wayne ' today go throqgh the WOWO radio station. They hope they will get to ' . take more of these. —P.M.H.S.— r The freshman girls have a lun- ! cheon for the teachers on St. Pat- • ricks Day. They had meat loaf and I all they could eat. The room was i decorated in green and the center , piece was a beautiful green and - « white. The teachers had already r received invitation the Friday be- » fore. They were told to wear green - iso all of the teachers Were support- ; ing St. Patricks Day. They will ■ ’ get two more such luncheons be- • fore school is out. — — P.M.H.S — The student body here at Plea- . sant Mills was honored to have the Rev. Lawrence Norris, Union; | Chapel E.tJ.B. for their chapel j sextet also gave a special number. ,

Potter went closer. When he got within earshot Stuart was saying, "Look here, last night you. said you didn't see’ Nora that day when you drove up to Looki out Point." "Well, I didn’t," Olive Riddle i retorted. “And there’s no point keeping at it" ! “But in the first place—" "In the first place, I thought i I’d seen you both.” “But what did you tell ths prosecutor?" “Oh, dear, I can’t remember the exact words now. Anyhow, he got me completely confused, and then, on top of that, Finn was furious with me. Sometimes i 1 think Finn is very unpleasant He said anyone could turn me inside out and I’d better say , nothing at all.” “And yet,” Stuart said, “your story is simple enough. You drove up to Lookout Point for the view, not knowing that was the spot Nora and I had chosen for our picnic. They could hardly confuse you on that, could they?” “You wouldn’t think so, would you?” Mrs. Riddle agreed. Mr. Potter turned back to the inn, leaving Stuart Young to struggle with his witness. A car drove into the parking lot and the driver went around to open the door on the far side. He helped out a girl who, even at a distance, was worth looking at. She went quickly toward the kitchen and the young man started toward the veranda, saw that he was observed, shied like a startled faun, and made off toward the tennis courts. "Frank!” At the sharp explosive command he squared his shoulders and went up the steps to. the veranda where a thin, middleaged man was waiting. “Who was that girl? She looks like one of the waitresses.” "She is one of the waitresses," Frank said boldly. "She's earning money for college. A very nice girl. Her people" have a dairy farm near here and I drove her down so she could visit them.” “Four years at Brown’ so you can prepare yourself to escort waitresses. Give me those car keys, and seqd Tom Jones to me. k.| I’ve got something to say to him.” Frank surrendered the keys and hastened inside as though eager to escape. Mr. Potter looked after him thoughtfully. Mr. Potter finds some vital cities in the murder of Candy Kendrick. Continue Chapter 15 of "Kun for Your Life” here tomorrow.
