Winter is going to hang on just as long as it possibly can and we still may have a few weeks of not too pleasant weather. These are long days because we all are anxious to get out on the yard and start digging. We'll have plenty of time however. But it is an excellent time to start planting grass seed the minute you can get on the lawn. ——o o—The finals of the Indiana high school basketball tourney have been a sell-out for many weeks and those fortunate enough to have a ticket for the final games will see three fine games. Then the* high school season will be over and soon the professional play-offs will be completed and sports fans will have major league baseball until late next fan. o-—o Boseball teams are in the middle of their spring training schedule and before long they’ll start heading back to their home grounds. Then the regular season wUI start and with the shift of two teams to the west coast this should be an interesting year. It looks yet. however that Milwaukee and the Yanks win be the teams to beat. o——o— Let’s hope that the wuu oversy at the Decatur Geneial Electric plant is settled to everyone’s satisfaction. It’s always bad on a community when there is a work stoppage of any kind and es- , pecially when there is a depression and people need all their d®‘t knew anything about who is right but we do know that conditions always are better when everyone is working and happy.

If you’re planning a trip remember the other fellow may not care as much for his life as you do. Drive with care and live longer. o——o—— There is some early activity in the construction business here and indications are that many new homes will soon be under construction. This is a good sign and in the next few weeks business can easily show improvement in many fields. • o—o We heard an uninformed man the other day state that newspapers wanted depressions because advertising business was better x then. For that man and everyone who thinks that way, he is dead wrong. Our business and profits both go down when there is a depression, same as in any other business and we’re just as anxious to see the depression end as anyone. ■ '.""O"---Dari Dee Parker, one of two Fort Wayne bank bandits which got $50,000 from a Fort Wayne bank last fall was caught in Canton, Ohio this week and in all probability will be brought back to Fort Wayne for trial in federal court. Not much of the details has been announced, but it has been released that the one bandit has been captured and is in jail. In all probability, details are being kept secret with a hope that the bandit’s partner will soon be captured. Let’s hope that., the pblice work will continue untii' both men are caught and p properly punished. It was one of the biggest holdups in northern Indiana in many years.

CHAPTER 15 I AFTER DINNER, Mr. Potter strolled up and/down the ver- — anda with • cigarette, waiting » for the other®’ to- eettle«down for the evening. When he went into v the inn at last and walked quietly upstairs, Deming had corralled Mrs. Riddle, Nora and Finn into a bridge game; Frank Deming had tentatively suggested chess to Stuart and they were setting out the pieces. Tom - Jones was flipping the pages of a magazine. Everything was under control. Mr. Potter, moving silently, be* gan his search for the missing photograph of Candy. He started with the big front room which was Nora's, and went through it swiftly, then searched the adjoining room which belonged to the nurse. He tried the Deming rooms next—Deming’s neat and characterless; Frank’s untidy, with fishing rods, riding boots, tennis rackets scattered around, and pin-ups on the, wall. The tutor’s room was beyond. This was as neat as Deming’s. As he went through the clothes closet, checking pockets. Mr. Potter was interested to see that Jones’ wardrobe was extensive and made by an excellent tailor. He had lux-urious-tastes for a tutor. An attache case was locked and defied his efforts to open it. In the hall once more, Mr. Potter paused to listen for a moment. He heard Deming say, “Three hearts." Stuart Young laughed. They were still under control He stood whistling soundlessly to himself. Presumably the Hilgers were tn the kitchen but where was the enigmatic nurse? He went downstairs again and outside. The kitchen windows .were lighted. Standing tn the shadow, he heard Hazel Huger say sharply, "Bert! Don't take another drink.” "For God’s sake, can’t you let a man alone for five minutes? Why any man is fool enough to marry—yackety yackety yak all the time. If it isn’t ’Why don’t you get to work?’ it’s ‘Why don’t you stop drinking?' or ’Keep away from Lucy Mudry.’ I never get any peace around here.” “I’ll take a lot,” Hazel said. “1 have taken a lot. But I’m warning you, Bert. Let that wait* ress alone.” “You let me alone.” “It’s not smart to give people Ideas,” his wife went on. “You get them to thinking you’re a " c' aser and they're going to start Tendering just how well you knew Candy Kendrick.

Then he staggered across the parking lot to a station wagon. In a i moment the lights came on and with a grinding of gears Bert i drove out to the highway. Mr. Potter moved away from . the tree trunk against which he was standing tn' the dark, took a ; step toward the kitchen door, and halted. A couple passed him, strolling i down to the lake. As the light , from the kitchen door fell on t them Mr. Potter recognized the nurse and the druggist. He waited until they had set--1 tied themselves on a bench on the beach, their heads close to--1 gether, their voices murmuring, ! The kitchen light was shut off and Hazel came out. locked the 1 door and walked toward the An--1 nex. Then, using his flashlight cautiously, he found the basement door. It was unlocked; he eased it open and went noiselessly ’ down the steps. The place smelled damp and musty. There were an oil burn--1 er. oil tanks, a cord of wood, and half a dozen high wire trash baskets.

Anti-Red Committee Studying Problems Committee Formed By State Assembly INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—A year has gone by since the Indiana Legislature created its own Communist:hunting committee, and nobody seems to agree yet whether it should turn on the steam or give up and go home. Some Statehouse observers say the Counter - Subversive Study Commission is nothing but politics anyway. Others point out a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision renders the group almost impotent But the committee chairman, with support from the American Legion and other groups, says the group can go a long way toward exposing Red sympathizers, even though they may never be sent to jail. The chairman is Paul J. Bitz, 33-year-old crew-cut state senator from Evansville. He and the other three members have met twice since the group organized las* July. To Report in 1959 Th 1957 General Assembly gave the group the duty of making any "study of subversive activities in this state as it may deem advisable and necessary for the general welfare of toe state,” and report to the 1959 session. The group has no power to subpena witnesses. But in a meeting this week Bitz suggested a ' permanent "watchdog" group with such powers, plus special investigators assigned to the attori ney generalBitz said he probably has rei ceived 150 letters complaining i that certain individuals or groups I are subversive and should be investigated. Q But he estimated all but about 25 of the letter-writers were ‘‘crackpots.’ \ Bitz said without a staff there wasn’t much the committee could do in its first ,year. But he said his private' inquiries indicate there are close to 1,000 Hoosiers who are “dedicated to the Communist ' Party—a card carrier at one time or another.” Future In Doubt But some attorneys wonder just what Indiana or any other state can do in view of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Nelson case. The court held that the federal Smith Act put cases of subversion in the hands of the federal government —not toe states. Formation of a group* With subpena powers would raise another now can’t prosecute subversion, how could they justify hearings in the name of preparation for legislation? One Statehouse official who happens to think politics is behind the committees activities, threw in this comment on Communists: “If the FBI can’t catch them, who can?” Both Indiana and federal laws make membership in toe Communist Party a crime. s » Bitz- said he has ht?ard remrfe. of Red-sympathizers in cities like Gary. Bloomington, Fort Wayne, Evansville, Terre Haute, and East Chicago Says .Governor “Appalled” When he told Governor Handley what he knew, Bitz said the governor was “appalled and amazed. ' A checlt of Defense Department documents indicated Bitz made at least one erroneous accusation in Tuesday’s committee meeting. He said the American Civil Liberties Union was on toe U.S. attorney general's list of subversive groups- The ACLU does not appear on the list. .» Bitz also said Indiana University President Herman Wells assured him no ACLU chapter would be formed on toe campus until it met certain standards. But the 1U News Bureau said a chapter has been operating for several months, and that the Student Senate has exclusive control. A university statement said the chapter is on probation until next October* The League of Women Voters might be “appalled and amazed'' to know that Bitz believed the league was on the attorney general's list at one time. But the Indianapolis FBI office, for one, said it isn’t so. , Knights Os Pythias To Hold Convention INDIANAPOLIS — The 90th annual convention of the grand lodge.

Join In Observance Os National Library Week

Editor’s note: Fallowing is the final in the series of articles prepared by Decatur citizens as a ■ part of the Decatur library’s ob- ' servance of national library week. ' Today’s article was prepared by Charles D. Ehinger, manager of ’ the Citizens Telephone Co.)’ Boeks Most Enjoyed i I was quite amazed and pleased , to receive Miss Heller’s kind invi- ■ tatfon to write a short article to oe used during the observance of National Library Week. During the course of our conversation. Miss Heller stated that toe article - should be entitled “The book I ! have most enjoyed.” The request most certainly had ' one very immediate effect. It caused me to stop long enough to honestly and earnestly reflect over the many years of reading and to attempt to arrive at a. conclusion as to which book, or books, could be described as having been the In this analysis, I have learned that toe great majority of books which I have read, especially during toe last _ technical'in nature and pertaining to some branch of toe sciences During toe course of training for 1 my profession as an engineer, it was of necessity that all reading ’ and study was directed toward subjects technical in nature, with only more-or-less minor excursions r towsfrd arts. and . humanttics ’ as required by the curriculum, i Since engineering is, by definition, the “application of basic sciences for the utilization or conversion , of natural products or energy into ; products useful to man” and since j mathematics is toe very foundation and basic- building block of t all science, I have concluded that t the books which have interested 1 me most, have been most valuable b to me, and are still the most en--5 joyable, are those books dealing f with mathematics. 2 But how does one write a book " review of a text book on differential or integral calculus, or differ- ’ ential equations, or Fourier analy- ’ sis? There are very few novels 5 which cannot be easily read in an evening, but no book on mathe3 matics can be properly read in r such a manner. The “language of - mathematics” is such that it re- .. quires toe reader to follow each e. thought, each conclusion, with pat per and pencil, in work which parallels the step-by-step reasoning of s the author. Only by this process is it possible for the reader to e fully appreciate the beauty of the thought processes which the orige inator of the work has performed ’ —the start with only a basic premise and then, through a chain of steps and by purely inductive reasoning, the arrival at a general conclusion which proves the original premise. The question is asked “what fas- ' eination can mathematics possibly ” hold for those of us who are so in- > ept, amateurish, and poorly pre1 pared dabblers in such a huge 2 field?” To me, at least, one of the i most interesting parts of such > reading is to see how our every- ' day living and today's events are ■ affected by the work of the mas--1 ters of the past. As an example, i EJric Temple Bell, in his book e “The Prince of Mathematicians,” 1 refers to the theory of the gravita- '• tional field as follows: “What gave Einstein his idea was toe hard la- ■ bor he expended for scveral yeara 1 mastering the tensor calculus of -two Italian mathematicians, Ricci . and Levi-Civita, themselves dis- : ciples of Riemann and Christoffel, ( both of whom in their turn had - been inspired by the geometrical ■ work of Gauss.” - s Gauss was an ardent admirer 1 and close follower of the work of - Newton who, in turn, followed in > the footsteps of some of the work originally explored by Archimed1

es. It would seem that the fascination in reading and studying such books not only lies in the attempt to acquire a very small bit of knowledge in the field but also lies in the observance that the thousand of giants in the field of mathematics. headed by the three greatest: Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, have all added to and reinforced the sum total of man’s knowledge in his constant attempt to better understand the laws of Nature—Jaws which never vary or change and involve inanimate objects which obey, instantly and without question, the will of their Master, God the Creator. t ■ In One Day . _ CLINTON.
