Baseball telecasts have started now and it will give the sports fans something to look forward to each week if they are unable to get to the games. It will take up a lot of slack in the after- . noons and provide thrills next to seeing the games in person. 1 i o ■ o Decatur churches were jammed at all Easter services last Sunday from early morning until late night. Let’s hope that the habit of attending church will continue throughout the year and a lot of it probably will. o o There are whisperings that there could be changes in the county chairmanships. A good many party workers are expressing dissatisfaction at some of the present officers and before time to name new leaders a fight might develop in both parties. That is good for politics too, because party officers can also stay too long to be of additional service. o— —o Nearness of the primary election was brought to our attention when Richard Lewton. county clerk and secretary of the county election board, ordered the paper for the primary election ballots. The election will be on us soon now and candidates are busy campaigning for votes. There are not too many races, but several are developing into oldfashioned races. That makes for a good election. ——o—io If we get any good weather this week, this is about the last call for planting grass. Spring flowers also should be placed in the ground now as soon as the weather and ground permit if you want good beds of flowers. Some should be planted now and other plantings should follow to insure summer Ing blooms. Nothing makes a yard nicer and friendlier than some StttTYfrtCT flowers and they are so easy to cultivate. If you plant them early, you’ll have time to replant before the summer sun gets too hot, if a second planting- is necessary.

’ f ' „ - Only four makes of U. S. cart showed a gain during the first quarter of 1958 compared with the first quarter of 1957. They were Cadillac, Chevrolet, Rambler and Oldsmobile. Several plants are temporarily shut down and others are operating just part time. Let’s hope the worst is about over. ——o o ... There is a lot of interest in the approaching election from a legislative standpoint and there is more interest in the various Democratic contests than usual. This can mean only one thing and that is that after many lean ’ years the Democrats have come to life and there is every indication that the contests will result in a much closer legislature. o o Next big sporting event of j world wide interest will be the annual five-hundred mile race scheduled for Indianapolis May 30. Each year this race which draws more than 200,000 spectators will have another banner crowd this year. People come , from all parts of the world to at- 1 tend the race and the gods of luck have been with the promoters as very few have had to ‘be rescheduled because of bad weather. On one or two occasions rain forced the cutting short at less than 500 miles, but generally the entire race gets in before rain'eomes. o—o Quite a number of Decatur people who own summer lake cottages have started opening them for the stimmej. and more have indicated they expect to do so in the next two weeks. Weather is just getting to a temperature that summer homes will now be comfortable and in a few weeks the summer trek to the many popular Indiana lakes will be on in full force. Probably four or five hundred people of this area enjoy the summer lake breezes either for the entire summer or at least week-ends. Fishing and boating are the two major summer sports enjoyed by the northern Indiana visitors. I i <— _

State To Increase Higheway Projects. Bids Running Under Engineer Estimates LAFAYETTE (W — Indiana is planning about 135 million dollars worth of highway project* this year instead of 120 million as originally planned. State Highway Chairman John Peters told the 44th annual Purdue Road School Monday that “we have raised our sights” because contract bids are running about 12 per cent under engineers’ estimates. Peters said the 120 million dollar estimate or 1958 was made last November. He said about 66 million dollars of the total is for federal interstate highway system projects. Peters said the highway department is "shooting for about 81 million dollars worth of construction under contract by July 1." He said that by mid-July the commission expects to unveil its highway program for 1959. o — — .—o 20 Years Ago Todays o -o April 8. 1938—Krick-Tyndall fire loss here is estimated at more than $200,000.

CHAPTER ZS WITH a dip of the oar, Tom sent the canoe into a canal shaded by weeping willows turning _a golden yellow. “You know,” he remarked, “I’ve .learned more about you in the past half hour than in all the rest of the time put together." Nora leaned back on a' pillow, one hand trailing in the water. ‘This is so restful that I’ve probably let myself go and talked too much. Excuse it please." His eyes on her face, he saw how the mark of his fingers had darkened on her cheek and winced. “I had to do it.” “Do what? Oh, hit me. Yes, I realize you did. If you hadn't snapped me out of It I’d have let Bert blackmail me. I ought to thank you, really." “You are an amazing girl, Nora. Very forgiving. Very grateful for small kindnesses." She laughed. "I’ve never before heard a slap bn the face referred to as a kindness.” She met the look in his eyes and blushed. She could feel her face flame and she could not stop it. “Restful, is it?" Tom said, something indefinable in his voice. "Do you still find this afternoon restful?" “Don’t,” she said quickly. "Why not? To use Hazel’s favorite phrase, ‘Let's face it.’ We’ve discovered something between us that we can’t exactly Ignore, can we? Something that's not at all restful." He dipped the oar. “The last thing on earth I ever anticipated was that we’d fall in love with each other,” Tom said in a tone of wonder. For a moment her eyes leaped to meet his, her, face flushed. “Oh, yes," he assured her, “it hit you, too. Hadn’t you realized it?" When he smiled Hke this the hard planes of his face softened. “I must have been falling in love with you from the start because it already feels quite natural. How about you?" "Tom, don’t say anything more. Please. I can’t do this to Stuart He's had a horrible time. He’s been victimized. Now that he is free, if I were to turn against him—no, I can’t do that” "You aren't turning against him. You are rectifying a mistake. You thought you loved him but it wasn’t the real thing.” "But how could I make as gross a mistake as that?” she cried. '1 loved him, I really did. Until—just now. If I could make a mistake about what I felt for him I could be wrong about this, too. Just because it is so—tremendous—doesn't mean it’s real’’ “Some day,” Tom said coolly, “you'll recognise reality when you meet it and stop being afraid. But keep your thinking clear. [ Nora.

MARCH (Continued rrom page one) when the number of jobless totalled 2,900,000. Administration leaders were expected quickly to regard the March figures as an optimistic ‘ sign of levelling off of the rate of decline in the national economy. Because of heavy job cut-backs in the automobile, machinery and primary and fabricated metals industries, manufacturing employment declined by about 200.000 to a total of about 15,400,000 in March. This was a greater-than-seasonal decline. The durable goods industries were the hardest hit in the manufacturing employment picture. More Agricultural Jobs Manufacturing jobs were down by 1.500.000 from a year ago. but agricultural employment went up in March, as was expected, by 250.000 to a total of 5,100,000. 'Die increase in employment t was mainly in agriculture and, as the weather permitted, the seasonal increases in outdoor work more than offset, statistically, the • increasing cut-backs in manufac- ■ ■■ " -w B ..MBIIII ■ ,

You started your acquaintance in gratitude and it deepened because he was persecuted and no one but you believed in him. But now he is in the clear—" "Yes, he is in the clear now,” Nora said, “but if I were to break my engagement people would wonder. All our lives they would wonder whether I lied when I said we were together that afternoon. After all, you believed I was a liar yourself. You told me so.” "But, my darling," Tom said, "of course you lied.” « I The oar rose in a shower of sparkling drops, dipped into the water again. "I’ve known that from the beginning. The only reason I took the job with Doming was to come here where I could meet you and prove that you lied.” After the emotional turmoil which had shaken her, the shock was more than she could absorb. •Tom," she said through dry lips. ‘Tom —?’’ He did not appear to hear the desperate appeal in her voice. "What baffled me from the start,” he said, as though there had been no moment when they looked at each other with auri prised delight, “was why you lied. Somehow, I couldn't see any girl protecting a man who had brutally murdered a woman whose drily i fault was that she loved mm. i Your motive had me stymied dor : a while." I Nora watched the stranger he ’ had become. "And now — you know.” I “And now,” Tom said, , T know.” He sent the canoe skimL ming across the lake, back to the 1“• . . ’ Stuart sat quietly at the wheel ; of Nora’s car, which he had pulled • off the road at the entrance to a > state park that was closed for the season. His hands rested . quietly cm the wheel. If only be . would say something, Nora i thought Anything at all! What i was he thinking? How badly had t she hurt him? Aware of her eyes, he took a t long breath and then managed to - smile at her. His hand reached i out for hers and held it Unexpectedly his smile breadi ened. “All right” he said, reading ! her thoughts as he always had, . ’Til say something. I was just » trying to think. I won't try to r pretend this isn't a blow. Some- , how I had assumed that nothing • could changp between us. But, ’ Nora, my sweet trusting little , doflkey, it’s all my fault I i shouldn’t have let you get out . of my sight I don’t know what , game Jones is playing—” 1 “Game?" She stirred and tsfid ■

turing employment. Government economists have long regarded manufacturing as the central sore spot of the current business decline, calling present conditions “a manufacturer’s recession." Although the number of jobless increased only a small amount, there was a greater increase in the number of idle workers getting unemployment compensation. This was because unemployment was reduced among workers not getting unemployment compensation, particularly on farmsIn a summary statement, Mitchell and Weeks said "total unemployment remained at- 5.200,000 and state-insured unemployment advanced by 135.000 to 3.300,000 whereas there is usually a moderate drop at this time of year.” Their statements were based on “rounded off” figures and not the actual totals contained in accompanying statistical tables.

Something insidious is going on. The Hugers made it clear today with their blackmail attempt I can’t help but wonder about the way Jones - was Johnny-on-the-Spot when the Hugers pulled that stunt As though he had planned the whole thing to see whether you’d fall for it" "You aren’t making sense, Stuart" “Perhaps I am. There seems to be an attempt going on to plant the idea, in one way or another, that you are guilty of the deaths of those two women." He tilted up her chin. "When we started out tonight you were terribly upset Whatever emotional storm Jones put you through this afternoon, you don’t love him. You couldn’t Understand me, Nora, if I am wrong I’ll drop out of the picture. But before I do that Im going to get to the bottom of this business." He picked up her hand, kissed it lightly, and laid it on the seat “Now Pm going to take you home so you can sleep. Try not to worry, dear. About me. About anything." He saw the tears glisten on her cheeks and brushed them away with a gentle finger. "You’re no good to me," ate said. *1 tore you. Think you can remember that?” They drove back in silence.

Clearing Skies Ease California Threat Alleviate Threat Os Additional Flooding By UNITED PRESS Clearing skies alleviated the threat of further flooding in California today, but heavy rains and snow sent rivers over their banks in the Northeast. Sunny skies were expected throughout rain-weary California today, following a series of rain storms that had touched off serious flooding in parts of the central section of the state and the San Francisco area. Most of the East also enjoyed clear weather except for the far Northeast where flooding Monday along the Susquehanna River forced several families to flee their homes at Vestal, N.Y. The Susquehanna also overflowed its banks at Binghamton and Conking, N.Y., and the Allegheny River neared flood stage at Salamanca, NY. Cloudy weather with scattered •light showers and snow flurries continued during the night in the Northeast. Forecasters said showers and snow flurries were expected today throughout the lower Lakes region arid the northern New England states. Cooler temperatures which invaded the North during the weekend pushed into the Southeast today, dropping overnight readings as much as 20 degrees in parts of Georgia and the Carolinas. Wind gusts up to 40 miles an hour in the central and southern Rockies kicked up dust storms during the night in southern New Mexico which at times cut visibility to less than a mile. Light snow and rain fell in the Rockies and the Plateau region, j with snow reported as far south as northern Arizona. Livestock warnings were issued for north central and northeastern New Mexico where strong winds and moderate snow were expected.
