It seemed like there were 40,000 automobile* jn and around Decatur yesterday. First good summer days certainly bring I them out and this should be a prediction of what's to come every week-end this summer. . o——o—— Burl Johnson, former county sheriff and state police officer is the Democratic candidate for joint-state representative and he no doubt will put on a real campaign for the post now held by Luther Yager. Johnson is well known in both Adams and Wells counties and our early guess is that he will win handily in both counties. Or—o Professional basketball is nearing the end of a long season, and the present play-off series is the final of a great season. St. Louis and Boston are now in the midst of the final best of seven series. Boston should win it rather handily but in sports you never can tell. Lots of times the underdog rises to the occasion. - O'l o Fair weather greeted the weekenders and made all of us think of spring and summer and the end of a long and pretty cold winter. It may not be spring yet 'but we surely fooled the weather man this week-end. It was the nicest day of early spring and most forecasts were for cloudy and rain all day. If we don’t have a rainy week, it will be most unusual because it almost always rains on Good Friday week most of the week. o o The President's chief economic advisor joins him in saying the worst of the depression is over. Now let’s have some proof the next few weeks. American people are ready for the start of a boom, but they will have to be shown. This is one thing in which we all are united on—the end of the depression. The chief advisor did add, however that the uprise in economics equid come any time in the next three months and that’s putting the first prediction of March 1 off a while.

The sunshine came out last Saturday and right away everyone felt that spring was on its l way. We may have some chilly blasts yet this spring but we do believe most of winter has spent itself. o——o— Sixty blood donors are needed here for the Bloodmobile visit next Wednesday. While we don’t approve of the Red Cross selling the blood to the hospital, we certainly acknowledge the need and if it's the only way the Red Cross can operate, we still think it's a great cause. Maybe someday a scheme will be devised whereby the charge will be erased. ——o- —o— —- While there is still a lot of paper littered over the Court House lawn, the beer cans have been removed and it looks presentable again. It would only take a few minutes each day to walk around the lawn and get rid of beer cans and bottles strewn over the yard and certainly it makes the center of the city look better. o o— - One of these days there will be just a single fund-raising drive in Decatur. <Cach year more of the independent agencies join the Community fund drive and it makes it much easier to raise and allocate the contributions. It is the orderly way to conduct fund raising and some dax all of the agencies will realize it. Then there will be no duplication of effort and no hours of lost labor. o o The annual Easter drive, for I funds for the Crippled children I fund is in full sway and the proceeds fronv the sale of the Eas- I ter stamps will be used for needy cases in Adams county. Each year near Easter everyone in the county receives stamps for which they are expected to pay one cent each. There are no paid officers and the money all goes to a worthy cause. Actually all people. adults and children, benefit from the drive, It is a most worthy cause and Adams county always has done its share in the drive.

CHAPTER 20 IT WAS mid-afternoon when Mr. Potter reached New York and walked into the gffice of Candy Kendrick’s agent A tall, thin woman with’ nmless glasses stopped typing and gave him an unexpectedly welcoming smile. “I’d like to see Mr. Noland for a few minutes. My name is Potter but he won’t know it Tell him I’m making inquiries about a client of his, Candida Kendrick.” The woman was startled. “But she’s dead! Didn’t you know?” “Yes, I know.” She got up and went into the private office. In a moment she returned. “Mr. Noland will sec you” Frederick Noland was an energetic looking man, with a pleasant, noncommittal face. He looked up from a cluttered desk, peering over his glasses. “Are you Potter? Sit down. Now what do you want to know about Candy ?” Mr. Potter told him succinctly. “So they’re going to rake up the whole business again. Candy was a swell kid, a sweet kid, and a clever artist One of the most promising clients I had and just getting into her stride when she was killed. She had talent and she worked like a beaver. She Was really going places. Frankly, I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know anything about the murder or the setup in that hick place where she was living. She was too young to be alone; anyhow, a commercial artist can’t afford to stagnate. She has to be where the jobs are, where the ideas are floating around, where the new trends are taking shape. However, Candy hadn’t cared much about following trends. She was developing a style of her own and she made clients like it, even if they had definite ideas of their own.” “Did she have any family?" asked Mr. Potter. “An uncle somewhere in Europe. That’s all. Not her type at all, I imagine. A big shot of some sort” “Did you see her letter in the paper ?" “Yes," the agent said through set teeth. "That was Candy through and through, the real quality of hen I think I could kill that guy myself If 1 got my hands on him." "Who was this ’someone’ ahe could always turn to?" Noland shook his head. “She didn't talk about her personal attain, at least to me." "Did you ever hear of any man who was interested in her ?”

"Os course, there were men interested in her.” Noland spoke impatiently as though Mr. Potter were not quite bright. “She was young and terribly alive and extremely pretty. But there was no one special. What are you after, exactly, that the police missed?" “If it doesn’t sound too fatuous,” Mr. Potter said, “I’m after the right murderer. But so far I’m just groping. There did she need money?” “I don’t think so. She was <|oing fine. More commissions than she could handle but she was fussy. She didn’t take jobs she didn't like. Look, I’ll show you one of her last jobs. She was to do a series of illustrated editions of the classics, the ten best English novels, that sort of thing, and only had time to finish one.” He untied a big Heni’y Fielding portfolio. “Look ’em over. Take your time. There’s an out-of-town client I've got to see now. Glad to know you.” He shook hands. “And good luck to you.” Mr. Potter turned over the pictures one at a time, smiling with appreciation and delight. The girl had started with the giant of them all, catching the author's zest for living, his Hogarthipn robustness. The pictures wire filled with throbbing life and humor. He recognized the characters at a glance. ‘ At one of the drawings Mr. Potter stared for a long time in disbelief. Then he pawed through the stuff on Noland’s desk until he found an envelope and slid the drawing inside. He pocketed it and retied the tapes of the portfolio. He had learned a great deal more than he had anticipated and there was nothing more to find out here about Candy Kendrick. Only bitter regret that so much talent and gaiety of spirit had been snuffed out. • • • Next, Mr. Potter checked tn on his New York private investigator. Sam pulled out a sheaf of old envelopes, cards and scraps of paper on which he had made random notes. “There's nothing interesting that I can see, unless you read something into this mesa I*e missed. First, the woman who got herself killed, Mrs. Riddle. Heavy society. Widow. Husband was well-to-do until the depression When he dropped * lot. She has a small life income. Said to be stingy. Pulled a lot of strings to eke out her income. And she practically lived on her niece, Nora Pendleton. Anything there?” .
Prominent Clergymen Prepare Meditations
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of six meditations by prominent clergymen on the climactic events in the lite of Jesus Christ which Christians commemorate during Easter week- Today’s author is the bishop of the Los Angeles area of the Metho dist Church. ■By Bishop GERALD KENNEDY Written for the United Press The easiest thing in the world is to lose the point of living. Most people go through the motions of existence, but if they ever had any big idea about themselves, it has been long forgotten. We may have started with a sense of the wonderful gift of life, but the years have brought us to an acceptance of petty actions. We worry about things which do not really matter, and we work for things we do not want. On this Monday of Holy Week, we remember that Jesus cleansed the temple. He overturned the tables of the money - changers and he drove out those who bought and sold doves for the sacrifices. By his action He was proclaiming that the temple was for the worship and service of God. It was not for financial profit or for economic gain. An End in Itself It is not only the church that loses its purpose. A government can forget that it is “for the people” and assume that it is an end in itself- Along that path lies tyranny. Law courts can be manipulated into becoming the servants of the powerful, the rich, the status quo. Business can turn aside from its obligation to serve the common welfare, and seek to enrich a class at the expense of a people. We are forever in need of a clear voice calling us back to examine the purposes of our institutions. God sends his prophets into society every generation to confront us with his will for his children. On this day we look at all our ! activities but not through eyes blurred with selfishness and compromise. We look with the eyes of Jesus Christ and we recover the vision of greatness. We are ashamed but we are put into a mood of repentance and humility. We must hear his voice of condemnation if we are to walk with him through the rest of the week to our redemption. Talks to Deal-Makers And He seeks each of us personally to restore our lost purposes. He comes to us who have made a deal with the world and thereby have lost our souls. He speaks to all who have sold their

Mr. Potter shook his head. “Charles Deining, everything on the up and up. Highly respected but not liked. Business record clean as a hound’s tooth. Retired last year on a nice fat income. Frank Deming is not a chip off the old block. He concentrated on girls too much at Brown and didn’t graduate. No details. Do you want more?” “Yes, get all you can on Frank. We know now that he was acquainted with Candy and his father is worried. He has hired a man to keep the boy out of trouble, which is going to be quite a job. Also Frank's alibi for Candy's murder has blown up in his face.* “Nothing on the Hugers,” Sam went on, "or the druggist or the nurse. Stuart Young —no army service because he was in medical school at Cornell, very promising, and they wanted him to finish. 1 haven’t checked beyond that. Shall I?” *ril take over on Young. Did you get anything on his family background?” "He was bom in Nevada, only child. No family except for his father, who was a doctor, a gen- — eral practitioner. He had a stroke at fifty and didn't leave anything." “Go on.” "Nora Pendleton. If she’s been in any hospitals or sanitoria, except for Stanleyville last year, they aren’t giving out the information. Os course, she could have gone tn under a faked name.” Sam looked up. "This Tom Jones —what was the big idea? Is there a John Smith in New York City you’d like me to check on?" "Never mind, there’s more to go on now. After Mrs. Riddle s death, Captain Foote of the Con necticut State Police checked with Deming on Jones' references. He was sponsored by Graham Collinge, the playwright” "The guy with three smash hits aa Broadway ? Nice reference for a tutor,” Sam remarked. “Very nice,” Mr. Potter agreed. “I am becoming exceedingly interested in Mr. Tom Jones and I’ll fellow him myself.” "But he Wasn’t around when Candy was killed, was he?” “I have no idea where he was,* Mr. Potter said slowly. "I have no idea who he is. But I know one thing—Candy Kendrick knew him well." Mr. Potter’s method of tn, vestigating murder Is most direct. lie puts a friend of Tom Jones’ to the test tomorrow.

He appears to those who have wasted their heritage in cheap Jiving and are now filled with despair Once again we are met by one who says to us, “You were made for faith, hope and love. You have lost the way ip the darkness of the world. Here is light to bring you back to the straight path. Here is the vision of what you might be and what deep in your heart, you want to be." I stood not long ago in a pagan temple filled with a hundred idols. And I thought that if my own heart could be seen, there might appear the idols of pride, bitterness, and selfish ambition. Then I remembered the word of St. Paul: “What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God.. .’* (2 Cot. 6:16) So on this Monday of Holy Week, may all our temples be cleased and may their true purposes be restored in our minds. u Peppy Gals Decatur Peppy Gals of Wash-: ington township met Friday afternoon at the home ec room of the school.
