Even the trees are taking on a slight tinge of spring and are starting to bud out. It won't be long now until spring will be here in all of its glory. o o Motorists who have failed to get the winter oil out of their cars and get a spring tune-up might avoid a lot of trouble by doing so at once. o-—o Early flowers are starting to bob their heads up after a hard and long winter and soon we’ll be in the midst of green and colors. Better get your lawn mower in shape right now. You will soon be needing it. o o Indiana has no state wide primary election and so the elections will be strictly local affairs. Many state candidates however will tag some sort of results on who is elected delegates to the state conventions and who will control the larger counties after chairmen are named following the primaries. —_ o o Decatur Lions Club has voted to retain its Boy Scout troop and the big job now is to find a person who will take command of the troop. That shouldn't be too hard as there are many men in the Decatur area with the necessary requirements. Our guess is that the Lions will have a number of applicants for the head post of their troop. ——On —o—Robert G.

Major league baseball has started and with the largest opening day attendances in the last several years. Os course it is far too early to even guess the outcome of either league but every indication points to a great season with the results of both contests in doubt until the home stretch. That is the way fans like it and it holds everyone’s interest through the season. Early indications are that several of the . down under clubs might improve their records this year which means dhat the better clubs will have to constantly be on their toes to stay in the running. o o Two new health ordinances will be published in legal form this week and will be ready for distribution some time in the next ten days. The new measures will become effective June 1 and they are being pretty generally passed in Indiana to prevent spread of disease and better and healthier handling of food. A health inspector will be appointed and each store in Decatur which handles food, whcfher it be for restaurant or home consumption will come under the ordinances. It seems to be a useful and protective measure and if the proper kind of inspector is obtained, it should work out wonderfully well. —-*-o ol— Entries are being accepted for the annual 500-mile race at Speedway City near Indianapolis and on the morning of May 30 the 33 fastest automobiles to qualify will take off on the raceway which is regarded as the fastest and finest long test in the world. There has been a lot of argument over just how much good the gruelling test brings to the auto manufacturers, but it is generally conceded that many, many automobile improvements come each year from the race. [New tires, new brakes, new and fsster engines and much safer automobiles come each year from the race and manufacturers • are Quick to add the improvements to their cars.

You certainly don't let time hang heavy on your hands." Mr. Potter would not have agreed with him. Driven by a sense of haste he barely understood, he felt that he was standing still while time rushed past him, unrecoverable time. At Cornel) he wasted a valuable half nour finding the man to whom Dr. Evans had referred him, a small elderly man with shrewd eyes and the energy of i dynamo. He snapped open an oldfashioned watClf’-and set it disconcertingly on |he desk in front 3f Mr. Potter. "X. "1 can give you exactly twelve minutes," he said. "You are looking into that murder down in Connecticut last year, 1 understand. One of our medical school graduates, Stuart Young, was tried and acquitted. The police were here last year checking on his record. So was his attorney. Well, 1 can tell you only what I told them. "Young had a good record. He was a brilliant student. Personally, 1 was greatly disappointed when he decided not to continue i with medicine.r talked to mtn about it, pointed out that ne nad the qualities that make an excel- 1 lent doctor." He shrugged. "How- ; »ver, he had made up his mind." ! “Why did he want to give it 1 up?” "For thing, he was never I as interested in practicing as he i was tn research, and ne couldn't ’ do the kind of research he wanted s except at a university. No money I there, of course. That’s always i the problem. A man nas an idea i that could help mankind but it I takes financing and you can't prove it practical. Practical! f Young had no money of his own. I He worked like a beaver to earn j his tuition. I’ve always suspected I that there was a girl in the pic- I ture who had her mlpd on mink s joats. Thank God, ne seems to c have found a girl who stands by 1 when the going is rough." The doctor looked at his watch, t snapped it shut and stood up. 1 "Is there anyone else," Mr. 1 Potter asked, "anyone at all still i here wlto knew Young?" < The doctor stopped in his I plunge toward the door, ini- i pressed by- the -urgency tn ■the t yoimger man’s voice.

As a future events topic, a discission disclosed that ten new song books were to be purchased and added to the other books. Refreshments were served by Joan Fleming. Kitty Harding, Mary Ellen, Ruth Ann Lichtle, Nancy and Harriet Rice. April 22 is the date of the next meeting which is to be held at the Monmouth high school at 7 o’clock. Peppy Pals The Preble Peppy Pals held an afternoon meeting Saturday at the Friedheim Lutheran church. Judy Conrad, president, presided at the meting which began by having Cheryl Buuck and Janice Miller lead the group in saying the pledges. Shirlqy Scheumann then led the members in singing.

Peppy Gals Members of the Decatur Peppy Gals held their meeting in the home economics room of the De-' catur high school.

tng house. Very shrewd woman i ran it. Still does. She d Know, i more about him than 1 do. And i she'd know whether'there-was--a ■ girl. 1 can't follow them all up. , They come and go. After thirty i years, they all seem to be the ; same fellows." He rushed out and Mr. Potter, ■ smiling a little, consulted the sec- , retary, a calm woman who drew out a large and battered address book. Stuart Young nad roomed with a Mrs. Fremont only a couple of blocks away. In answer to nis telephone cal) Mrs. Fremont agreed to see him at two o'clock. No. she could not possibly arrange it before then. He stopped tor lunch, knowing there was nothing he could accomplish until ne had seen the woman. Only what did ne expect to find out there, ne wondered. When ne arrived promptly at two. Mrs. Fremont admitted mm, a smart-looking woman m her middle forties. She welcomed mm and took him Into a cheertul living room. Yes, of course she remembered Stuart Young. The police nad talked to her and so nad ms lawyer, Mr. Black. She nad told them al) the same, thing. Stuart had lived in her house for nearly tour years and she nad been horrified, incredulous, when she read of his arrest the year' before. 7" Mr. Potter Was awaf.e7ol7aTeel7 ing of discouragement. What he was doing was simply to go over ground that had been covered before, and by experts. There was nothing new to be learned. The whole thing was a waste of time and, he felt increasingly, there was no time to waste. What kept him plodding along, tn spite of his sense of urgency, was the fact that on only one point in the whole affair was there unanimity of opinion. Charles Deming told the truth. Mrs. Fremont spoke openly and : freely. Her nusband had been j killed in a traffic accident five years before, leaving her nothing but a house which Was much too big for a woman alone to keep up, so she had taken in college stu- J dents, giving them room and ] board. Stuart Young had been one of the first and he was, by all odds, J the nicest: a dependable, reliable, j hard-working young man. He had no money so he Uldall sorts of (Mid jobs to support himself; he had paid his room rent by taking care of the furnace and the garb.4gc r washing dishv and waftihg on table tor the other boarders.

Longer Life Span May Became Curse Must Preserve Mind And Personalities By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK <UP>—The trouble with science's gift ol a longer , life for almost everyone is that although the life of the body has been lengthened, the life of the mind and the personality <resident in that body! has not been. Dr. Edward A. Strecker was looking science's gift horse in the mouth at a recent conference on geriatics, the medical science of aging. He concluded that unless science soon finds wa.ts of preserving mind and personality as well as body, its lengthening of the life span will become “a curse rather than >a blessing." : What is needed is more re- ■ seajbh and the questions must be i pursued under high priority The I questions are not easy, which adds to their urgency. Fot instance. what deterioration obcurs in the physical structure of the ibrain with age? He cited the exIperiences of a neuropathologist who dissected the brains of 20 I persons who died in old age. Same Signs This investigator wan, looking for physical signs of deterioration, and he’ found them. But he found just as many in the brains ;of persons who had been mentally healthy in their last years as he found in the brains of those who had been mentally ill. "We should not be too glib about glaming all the behavior manifestations of old- age disorders upon organic brain disease,” he continued. "It is not the sole cause. Nor should we be too glib about linking chronologic age with mental deterioration. "Some people, manifest deterioration in the fifties, and indeed there may be profound deterioration in the early forties. Yet we know people in advanced life, 80 years of age and more, who, excepting for a few memory lapses, are bright and alert.” Previous Personality In addition to possible physical changes in the brain, he suggested that "the previous personality” of aged persons could bring pressures to bear which "distorted" behavior. "The human personality is the most awesome (thing in all the world.” he said. "It is too fluid and far-reaching to be confined in a cage of words.” Sharp tongues are not indicators of keen minds.

i when he decided to abandon his 6 medical career as a profession. I He nad worked like a fiend ana i the-other studems».at tier nouse . often said ne was one ot the most > brilliant men of ms year. • “1 always blamed Amy Chandler for it.” she said. "That last > year it was quite an affair. I ' thought right up to the end they would be married. 1 don’t know 1 what happened. He didn’t say 1 so out 1 always suspected she ■ wanted him to make more money and he decided to try some other field. Ln away, it served net right. He went off for the summer to figure out what to do ;ttiCi he met Miss Pendleton.” “What happened to Miss Chandler?” Mrs. Fremont shrugged. “She gave up medicine, too. 1 don’t know where she is. She sent me a Christmas card last year. Maybe I’still nave It.” A clock struck the half hour. Two-thirty. Again Mr. Potter nad an impulse to run. He nearly said, “Never mind, it doesn’t matter." It s&emed unimportant, after all, and there was nothing to learn that the police did not know. Anyhow, the girl might he across the continent by now. He ought to' getting back to the inn. There was no telling what was happening there. ... Instead, ne waited while she opened a desk drawer stuffed full with Christmas cards dating from | years back, and started going through them, one at a time. At length Mrs. Fremont pulled out the Christmas eard and handed it to Mr. Potter. "There! I i knew 1 had it somewhere. I always keep the pretty ones, thinking I’ll enjoy looking at them i again. But somehow I never do.” I Along with the usual printed greeting there was a handwritten phrase, "1 nope all is well with you and your boarders behave themselves. Amy Chandler." It had been mailed in town. The obliging Mrs. Fremont, re.maining admirably discreet although she was plainly curious, provided a telephone directory and left Mr. Potter alone while he dialed the number. The voice that answered was crisp anc rather hard. Lt required considerable persuasion to bring about re luctant permission to call. While Mr. Potter is digging up Stuart's past, Stuart is taking advantage of present opportunity. Continue the story, which is reaching an exciting ’ climax, here tomorrow.

MONMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL By Sue Merriman * John Fuhrman If the halls seemed a little emptier and quieter Monday morning, it was because the seniors had left for four eventful days in Washington, D. C.

This is a newly organized group and they have progressing very rapidly. Watch out, junior and senior bands. The beginners are getting pretty good! i —M.H.S.— Even though the weather has been rather “nippy,” one can tell it is spring just by walking down the hall at our school during the noon hour. Girls have been blossoming out in cottons, and boys have begun to bring baseballs and bats to school. This reminds us that basebaill season isn’t far off. —M.H.S.— Have you seen anyone digging outside lately? If you have, he is probably a member of Fred Meier's agriculture class or one of Harold CJinkenbeard's physical education class. These two teachers have been doing a fine-job in digging the new field events pits. No, Harold Clinkenbeard and Fred Meier aren’t doing all the digging; the boys from the agriculture and physics education classes have been very cooperative as a "whole in the project, -MHS.— The annual safety program of the P. T. A. was held at the school Tuesday, April 8, to honor the patrol boys and to give the school a good program on safety. Sgt. William Hunter of the Indiana state police post at Ligonier gave a safety talk. He stressed; that the main cause of accjgtemt*J is not speed or reckless

but it is inattention, rudeness, and •'bullheadedness.” Officers elected by the P. T. A. are as fallows: president, Will Schnepf; vice-presi-dent, Otto Boerger; secretary, Mrs. Ivan flakes; and treasurer, Richard Lewton. The P. T . A. also appropirated the sum of $225 for the purchase of books for the school library. —M.H.S,— The track team had its second meet April 8 and, though they did not win, made a very respectable showing for themselves. They had three first places and numerous second and third places. Jim Boeger won the 440 and 880 yard runs and placed third in the broad jump: Harold Weidler won our other first place in the pole vault. M.H.S.— The chemistry class had better start studying even harder now in preparation for a new section in organic chemistry. It will be considerably more difficult than "regular chemistry”, so work hard, kids. —M.H.S.— “Quiet! test in progress.” This is what the sign outside the study hall read last Thursday and Friday. The seventh and eighth graders have been taking achievement tests, and since the study hall is the most convenient place in which to give these tests, there has been an amazing silence in that part of the building. Work hard, junior high, and do your best! —M.H.S — At the P. T. A. meeting, Loren Jones showed some statistics that were quite pleasing to see. An achievement test was given to the freshmen with very enlightening results. The class, as a whole, ■ rated well above average in all ; the fields of study tested.
