At I any rate, Dick Jr. will take overij temporarily in writing the edi-1 torials and we know he will do al better job than we have. I o—o - I The Decatur public library will! ! soon start a new addition which!] will permit the adult section toi be moved to the first floor. The 1 present library is a beautiful] building. But for many years the j steep steps leading to its 25,0001 circulating books have been a hindrance to adult reading. The entire lower floor is now occupied by a little-used auditorium. This will be converted into a lovely adult department, while the front steps will be removed to make room for a stone-front addition. The library board is to be commended for its foresight and planning. All the money for the project is already on hand, and no additional tax will be necessary. —-o o—— Decatur will throw out the welcome mat Sunday for hundreds of visitors from Fort Wayne and all parts of northeastern Indiana, as the Decatur Lions club is host to the 1958 district convention. The afternoon meetings will be held at the Decatur high school with a tea for the ladies at the Decatur Moose home. The evening banquet, highlight of the affair, will be held at the Decatur community center. Roy Price, former district governor, is general chairman; and all of the local Lions are pitching in to make this a real success. ' o o—- ' " If you want to hear and see all of the local Democratic candidates, why don't you plan to attend the pre-primary dinner next Tuesday night? Tickets are still available from Democratic county officials and from precinct committeemen. Each candidate will speak briefly, and you can decide which one you think will make the best nominee.

■ If you plan to vote in the Dem- ■ icratic primary May 6. pay care■ful attention to the Congressional ■race. Two of the candidates, UDean Bechtol of Garrett and W. ■ Robert Fleming, of Fort Wayne, ■merit consideration. The third is I’lfnot a serious contender. Fleming ■■is a well-known lawyer and form■er U.S. commissioner for 11 ■rears. Bechtol has been state ■commander of the American LeMgion and is well-known in fraffternal circles in the state. Either ■one will be an acceptable candi■date. The Decatur Daily Democrat does not pick candidates in the primary election, but we cannot help remembering an election a few years ago in which a fine Fort Wayne lawyer was defeated for the Congressional nomination by a crank whose presence on the ticket in the fall embarrassed the other candidates. o— —o Central Soya’s announcement ' of expansion in Decatur is a welcome relief and answer to pessimism about the future of Decatur. In the 1920 and 1930 census, Decatur was smaller than most of the cities in the area, including Bluffton. With the establishment of Central Soya in 1933 in Decatur, during the midst of the great depression, Decatur began to grow. In the Second World War the General Electric company expanded greatly, and added to this growth. Decatur is now second only to Fort Wayne in the fourth district. At the present, time pessimism has been the order of the day, and many gloomy forecasts have been made about the future of Decatur. However, Soya’s announcement of increasing bean capacity nearly 60 per , cent by October 1, and possible other improvements to be announced later, should dispell all gloom. With a Decatur firm furnishing the thousands of tons of cement necessary for the ten inch thick walls, 120 feet high and 80 feet in diameter, and with local labor used in the actual ■q construction, business should i prosper here during the spring and summer months. *■

Seasonal Laborers For Indiana Farms Despite Thousands Os Jobless In State INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—The vanguard of an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 seasonal farm laborers from outside Indiana already has arrived to help with spring crop chores, although more than 100,000 Hoosiers are unemployed. There is an explanation, however, acording to William L. Davis, farm placement supervisor for the Indiana Employment Security Division. Most of the state’s industrial workers now out of jobs couldn’t physically stand up under the type of work required of them, Davis said. Anyhow, the pay is quite low. Already, more than 450 out-of-area workers have come to Indiana from otfyer states to help seed tomatoes, set out cabbage and strawberry plants, plant various types of vegetables and set out mint plants. Theoretically, at least, these outsiders are taking jobs that could have been had by a handful of Indiana’s own unemployed who are out of work in layoffs and plant shutdowns as part of the national recession trendBut Davis said the trouble is most of the available local workers lack the physical stamina and ablity to do the "stoop labor” required in crop fields. Pay Rates Low He said also there was not much inducement in the 70 to 75 cents an hour wage offered. The first weekly farm labor bulletin issued by the IESD showed that 445 of the 453 out-of-area workers already on the job in Indiana are Texas-Mexicans— American citizens of Mexican descent who live in Texas. I Davis said that number repre'sented more than 90 per cent of the seasonal farm laborers now employed in Indiana. He said —they were obtained through the Indiana Employment Security Division’s farm place ment service at the request of farmers and crop growers, many of whom first tried to recruit local labor from the ranks of the uni employed. Davis said he understood a few j prospective employers inserted I advertisements in newspapers and made other public appeals for local labor but the bids produced, few results.

CHAPTER 35 NORA knocked the mirror out of Stuart's hand, scrambled to her feet, and ran. She had no time to think. »Her body was doing the thinking for her. Some animal instinct, some elementary will for survival, sent her racing along the woods path, made her run for her life. If she went down the paved road he could easily overtake her; he could run so much faster. She turned, plunged into the underbrush, working her way toward the deep woods, stumbled into a gulley, lost her balance, sprawled head- ..... long. Stuart shouted, “Nora! Nora!" She heard his thudding feet. Ahead of her in the woods a startled deer darted out of sight. The sound and the movement caught Stuart’s attention and he leaped the gulley only a tew feet from where she lay and ran into the woods. She lay still for a moment When he saw the deer he’d come back. He’d come back, anyhow. He knew she wasn’t strong enough to run far, that he must have passed her. She got to her hands and knees, listening to his noisy progress, hearing his frantic voice calling, “Nora! Nora! What's wrong 7 Come back, darling! What frightened you? Come back!" Then, cautiously, she crawled along the gulley on hands and knees. Beyond it and across a cleared space, boulders were massed as though the glacier had simply sat down there. If she could reach them she could hide behind them. Stuart was still ” thrashing around in the woods. She got to her feet, ran across the cleared space, climbed tip among the boulders, and crawled between two of them, crouching behind a third. She listened but there was no sound. Stuart wasn't running now. He wasn’t calling to her. He was listening as she was listening. Somewhere he was waiting for her to betray her hiding place. Stuart! All the time it had been Stuart. The whole story was clear now. It had been clear front that flashing moment of realization when she had looked into th* bright mirror. Somehow Stuart had hypnotized her, had made her believe that he had been with her that afternoon while he went to kill Candy. It was only two miles from the Point to the lake. He could have come and gone on foot while she slept. I should have known, she thought, that Cousin Charles wouldn’.t lie under oath. He did see Stuart with Candy.

When the peak of the tomato harvest arives end of September, Davis said, 8,000 to 10,000 out-of- . area workers have been needed I in past years. Davis believes . there will be an “increased” use of domestic workers this year due to the employment situation. Logansport Has Many , "But as to an increase of local Indiana workers, I don't think it • will amount to much,” he said. i Last year, at the peak of the ■ August pickle harvest in the ( northern muck area, as many as 675 Mexican nationals were emi ployed. A month later, as many as 400 Mexicans and 1,000 foreigners— from the British West Indies were employed in the tomato harvest. The first labor bulletin showed that out-of-area workers already are on hand in the Logansport, South Bend, LaPorte and Kokomo areas. Nearly three-fourths of them are in the Logansport area planting mixed vegetables and i strawberry plants Most of the reI mainder are planting onions in ■ the South Bend area. 1 Other labor areas reported no (labor shortage. Anderson reported lhat local labor, including unemployed domestic workers, was filli lug ail aemand for tractor oper-
She tried to superimpose the picture of this new Stuart, this enemy, on the one she knew, Stuart the understanding, the gentle, the considerate. He had gone down to bash Candy’s head in and throw her body in the lake. And he had come back to awaken her, to kiss her, to fondle her with hands that had just killed. But how had he dared take the risk? How could he be sure he’d succeed in hypnotizing her? Oh, of course—that* mad thing she had done the day before, walking fully clothed into the icy lake. He had played with the bright mirror then, too. It had been a rehearsal, a kind of tesL If the fire had not died down while he was gone she would never have known that anything was wrong. But the nightmares, the sense of guilt, the uneasy fear that something didn’t fit would have continued. Because she remembered the fire that had, died and it did not fit the story she had been told, she had not been able to reconcile them. Inch by inch, she shifted her position, her heart in her mouth. Suppose she dislodged a stone! Suppose a twig snapped! Where was he? What was he doing? Sooner or later he was bound to find her. He was going to kill her. She had seen that tn his face. Ever since he had come back he had wanted her to die. He had tried three times to kill her and had so nearly succeeded. But why? What had she done? Even if, she remembered, he could not be punished for Candy’s murder. He was safe. But if she remembered he would lose the money. The Pendleton money. It was queer to think that Aunt Olive, who had always seemed to be so rattle brained, was right about Stuart as she had been right about the Hugers. There was only one thing she had been wrong about and it no longer mattered. Because Nora had been asleep on the blanket she had not seen her; she had believed that it was Stuart who had remained behind, and. a jealous Nora who had gone to meet Candy that afternoon. A stone rolled and she caught her breath. Stuart spoke, only a few feet away. “Come out, Nora. 1 know you are hiding in here somewhere. What are you afraid of, dear? Come out and let me take you home. Nora—Nora—" The warm pleading in his voice almost made her doubt for a moment She hold I’M breath. Waited. “Nora," he said, his voice louder, “come out and end this nightmare.” He was so near that she could

My husband recently introdduced me to a nun who is associated with the hospital where he is employed. I was seated at the time and did not rise, and my husband says I did wrong. What do you think? A. Your husband is right; you should have risen. . Q. At what side of the plate should the napkin be placed when setting the table? A. If you set you* table with place plates, the napkin is placed on the plate. If food is on the place plate when the guests are seated, the napkin is put at the left of the table. Q. When visiting in the home of a friend, and there is an open box of Candy on the table, isn't a guest privileged to help himself without an invitation? I A. Certainly not. To do so would show a lack of good manners.
have touched him. Then, to her incredulous relief, he moved away, still talking. "I’m going down to the car for the big flashlight I’ll find you. I'm bound to find you. Come out Nora." She heard him moving away then, going down the hill toward the car. The air was cold and she was grateful for the warmth of the sweater. Tom’s sweater. Tom! She wanted him so terribly, needed him so desperately, and he did not know where she was. Did not know she was in danger. Tomorrow, next day, perhaps, she would be found elsewhere. Suicide while of unsound mind. She began to climb again. Above the boulders came the woods and the underbrush. She heard the car door slam, saw the gleam of the flashlight and forced her way in among the bushes, heedless of the thorns that scratched her face, pulled her hair, tore at her clothes. She pulled the bushes over her. Lying prone, she could hear Stuart’s footsteps above the heavy pounding of her heart, which seemed to shake her whole body. It was completely dark now. AU at once, as though on a signal, the night noises of the woods began like an orchestra tuning up, drowning out Die sounds of Stuart’s approach. The woods seemed to be filled with small, anxious animals, scurrying around. She heard surreptitious movements through the underbrush. Something small, a chipmunk or squirrel, ran over i her arm. A finger of light probed through the undergrowth, reached toward her. She watched helplessly. It fastened on an opossum hanging by its tall from a branch over her head and moved on. Came back. Shone in her eyes, blinding her. "Nora!" Stuart reached down and pulled her, unresisting, to her feet "Where are you taking me?" she' asked dully, — He did not look at her. He was stiU keeping up the ghastly pretense that everything was all right. "Back to the car, of course." She thought about it. "You're going to push mt over the Point so they'll think I jumped. I’ll fall —and fall—" “Nora!" he said hoarsely. He began to drag her down the side of the hill. She screamed then, her voice wild, mad with panic. Nora Is trapped. How ean she escape?
