Pennsylvania Democrats have selected Gov. George M. Leader as their candidate for the U. S. Senate in November. Gov. Leader has been a popular figure, and should easily defeat the Republican candidate. The Quaker state also elected its first Negro congressman, Democrat attorney Robert C. Nix. -—o o Extra care is urgently needed when driving in residential areas. With warm, summer weather here, children will be playing along the streets. Little children out for the fjrst’time, who have forgotten safety instructions of last year, will again be darting in front of unwary drivers. If children are in sight, slow down. One may suddenly dart out in front of you, and the time you lose in slower driving nyiy well avert a tragedy you will never forget. o o The Rev. Vincent Ehinger, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. E. X. Ehinger of Decatur, and a native son, will return Sunday to celebrate his 50th anniversary. Just half a century ago Rev. Ehinger left Decatur to start his religious training. He belongs to the Order of Passionist Fathers, and has traveled widely over the United States in missionary work. Rev. Ehinger served as a chaplain in World War 11. All Decatur joins in welcoming a native son who has dedicated his life to Christian work. At a time when a south school building is planned in Decatur, the defeat of the $1.5 billion federal school construction bill comes as a heavy blow. Only one Republican vote was needed to approve the Democratic measure, which would have provided jobs for many unemployed at a time when the construction of scftoois is urgent. The Republican poßcy of wait and wait, *and then wait some more before doing anything is again in evidencei'A vote for W. Robert Fleming in November will return sanity to government.

Social security is a real blessing for retired workers and their families, and for the families of deceased workers. Nearly $1 million a year is returned to Adams county through the social security program. Most of this is spent immediately for groceries and other necessities. The social security program, in 20 years of use, has proved its value. o o Our broken-record president has been telling us for three months that the recession is slowing down. Now he has made an inane remark about a threat of inflation. Apparently the President’s advisers believe that inflation is a danger. There is certainly danger i,pf prices advancing. But wages can hardly advance when millions are actually unemployed. No, more money: must be distributed through wages, or through tax-supported federal programs, to keep the greedy few from choking us all to death. When everyone can buy what is being produced, we will have general prosperity. As long as we try to keep wages down, so that workers cannot buy what is being produced, we cannot sell everything we can produce. o o The Soviet Union is still using personal letters forced from family members and friends behind the Iron Curtain to encourage former Russian nationals to return to the Soviet Union where they are used for propaganda to this country have received mail from relatives who hadn't written in 17 years. Someone in this country' has betrayed our new citizens, and blackmail is often used to force them to return to the Soviet Union. Congress is now taking action to correct this Situation. Instead of screaming “Communist" like aynallboy crying “wolf!" the Democratic Congress is carefully changing our laws to actually combat the Communist menace. You can help by sending W. Robert Fleming to Congress with your vote in November.

i Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE o— — Q If someone begins a joke you have already heard, should you stop him? ' v A. If you are a member of a group, it would be discourteous to others who may not jiave previously heard the story. If. however, you are the sole listener, it is quite all right to say you have already heard the joke. Q. Do you think it necessary to have the approved “salad forks,” or do the medium-sized regular forks serve the same purpose? A. One may provide any shape or size of fork one wishes. The medium-sized is quite in good taste. Q. Do you think a wife should join her husband in greeting his guests when he is entertaining some men at a stag party in their home? A. No. The wife Should remain

: - CHAPTER 13 ■ ■ I BY noon the temperature rose to staggering heights, but not a man in the command paid the slightest attention. There was a more annoying enemy to think about now. Meanwhile, First Lieutenant Schwabacker went about, making quiet preparations, odd though they seemed. Contrary to usual rules of defense, he had the wagons abandoned and the horse herd moved frequently. Using the animal herd for -cover, ho.. instructed .thS-fesl. and third squads to dig pits large enough to hold four men, two soldiers and two civilians tb the pit. His survey revealed that a good many of the civilians were armed with the new Henry repeating rifle, or the seven-shot Spencer. He arrayed them in the dug positions according to firepower potential. Finnegan kept his mouth shut, and at times this was difficult. Lieutenant Schwabacker had somewhere lost the “book,” for he violated every concept of General Philip St George Cooke’s new dictates.
Spotted tail must have thought the Army commander completely crazy, or so indecisive he couldn’t make up his mind where to picket the horses; they were moved eight times tn the space o( three hours. But each time they moved, troopers and civilians stayed behind, secreted in their trenches. Schwabacker took care to see that these positions were adequately covered with brush and that the men stayed out of sight. He had his look at the completed job, and ten yards away they were completely invisible. By four o'clock the camp was strangely quiet, yet the bugler continued to sound off the chlls. Schwabacker drew Sergeant Finnegan aside for his final instructions. “The waiting will be hardest.” ' “Aye, sor, it can eat a man." “I want you to command the forward position, Sergeant. It's my guess that Spotted Tail will try one big one before the sun goes down. They’ll, be after the supplies in the wagons. Don’t fire until you hear the command.” “Aye, sor.” ( "Get on with it, then," Schwabacker said and went around the camp for a final look. He had thirty men near the wagons, al] civilians and armed with Henry repeaters. Rutledge Hughes was in charge and Schwabacker repeated previous Instructions. “In no event fire until they break past the second ring. This Is for record. I want a man down every time a trigger is squeezed.” “It’s crazy,” Hughes grumbled, “just asking tor it this way.” I “I have my orders; you have yours.” The second ring of entrenched riflemen was seventy yards out, about the most effective range of the Henrys. The men in the second set of trenches were armed with Spencers, more powerful. longer ranged. Seven powerful vollevs without reloading.

behind the scenes and be as inconspicuous as possible during the entire evening. Q. If on a reducing diet, and you are served apple pit at a luncheon, is it all right to eat only the apples and leave the crust — or would this be discourteous to my hostess? A. This is quite all right, and a thoughtful hostess will not question it. Q. When the bride wears her veil over her face into the church, when is it proper for the veil to be lifted, and who should do this? A. The maid of honor performs this task, and she also stoops and straightens out the bride’s train — just before the bride starts down the aisle. 3 r , 0 20 Years Ago Today o——— - ; o May 22. 1938 was Sunday and no paper was published-
Ollie Beal was in command there, supported by the experience of Sergeant McGruger. The first and outer rfftg was cavalry to the man, a hundred and seventy-five yards from the wagon hub of the camp. Carbines in this position, single shot, but in capable hands a tremendous weapon of i range and accuracy. Schwabacker moved around the camp as though he had all the time in the world and he exercised his control to the limit to keep from appearing more nervous than he was.' — This was the apex of command every officer sooner or later reached, the crowning moment when his orders would or would not be executed to the satisfacj lion of the higher echelon. "Give Spotted Tail another licking”— no orders had ever been more clearly given. Now he was on the periphery of success or failure; that made waiting difficult. But he did not have time tc worry long about it. From a far slope a line of mounted braves breasted the crest and startec
down at an easy gallop. At a range of five hundred yards they increased their speed, shards of yelling preceding them. The bugler was by Sehwabacker's side, nervously sucking his mouthpiece. Schwabacker unflapped his holster and drew his pistol, holding it at arm’s length along his leg. He watched the Cheyenne come on; he judged there were several hundred. And when they approached his first position, perspiration beaded his forehead. His thought was that souie of the ponies were bound tc step into the trenches, and because of this, he said, “Sound 'commence firing.' ” The command came at the right moment, for the finsfc rank of racing Cheyennes was almost upon the concealed trenches. The ground trembled with tlie tattooing of hoofbeats, then suddenly gray brush became alive, presenting a wall of fire that turned the charging mass into chaos. Hurt, surprised, enraged.. the Indians wheeled once, then came on. intending to crush this brave handful, but as they drove to the attack, the second section released their fire, repeating fife that blinded, caused the proud Cheyenne to stumble and finally reel back, mortally wounded. Two dozen warriors were down and others followed with a stumi bling, crippled gait. The Indians raced away from the Spencers, but by that time the first section had reloaded and followed ■ them an additional hundred yards with well-aimed lead.'' Instinctively Emil Scfiwaback- , er sensed that this was not the end. To Hughes he shouted, “For- ’ ward! To the Second position!” Under cover of Indian dust. I Hughes and his men ran out and , went into the prepared benches. > Now the Spencers were rein- ! forced with Henry rifles. > A thousand yards out the Che- • yenne were shouting, turning for ■ another assault. Sehwabacker let . them come on; he could guesS
Nurse Finds Gift Is Highly Valuable Refused Tip, Took Rare Stamps As Gift NEW YORK (UP) — A young nurse who wouldn't accept a patient’s tip recovered today from the pleasant shock that the “little gift” she took instead may be worth SIOO,OOO before the year is out. An elderly patieht several years ago gave Stephanie Buetens 100 mint-condition sheets of 50 stamps each as a token of his appreciation. Only one million of the threecent stamps had been issued in 1954 to mark United Nations Human Rights Day. A dealer said Tuesday the stamps, now the “most rare and most in demand” of all United Nations stamps, are worth today $42,000— and are stiM going up. He said Miss Beutens’ 5,000 stamps, with a face value of $l5O, may more than double the $42,000 before the end of the year. —nearly threw them out several times,” Miss Beutens saicL dazedly. “But it’s a beautiful stamp—the prettiest stamp I’ve ever seen. That’s why I ’ kept them" The dealer, an'associate of Jack R. Taub, chairman of the New York Stamp Exchange, said collectors were agreed that its exceptionally handsome design has contributed to its high value. Taub appeared on a television show (Jack Paar Show —NBC) on May 9 and talked about the phenomenal rise in priep of the U.N. commemorative stamps. “I was watching Jack Paar and doing the ironing,” Miss Beutens said. “I thought, why maybe those stamps I have are worth S2O or $30.” She took them to the dealer. _ “Our eyes nearly popped." the dealer said. “She wouldn’t believe us about their value.” Miss Butens said her grateful patient was "an elderly gentleman with Parkinson's disease” whom she nursed in his home, in 1955 anfi who has since died.

their were fifty yards from the first line of defense, his nod sent a bugle command outward. The first bars brought carbine fire. Spotted Tail lost men, but he was prepared to do that now. He had to close and there was a price to be paid, and he paid it with fifteen downed men. His next obstacle was the Spencer rifles; he had to crush that force. Driving past the first entrenchments, he met a suddenly increased fire as the Henry rifles entered the fight. This was a ri urnbing shbc k; Schwabacker could see the hostile mass shudder like a wounded beast Dust rose in blinding clouds and gunfire rattled like dice in a wooden box. Then with a yell of bitter defeat, the Cheyennes withdrew from the field. A few braves remained behind to carry away the dead and wounded. "Sound 'recall,’ ” Schwabacker said and stood there while the "C horn gathered his forces He knew that he had lost men. Knew he would before the fight opened, but Finnegan’s report still jarred him. "Eleven dead and nine wounded, sor.”
“How did the civilians fare, Sergeant?” r ' “They're missin* a few too. sor. "Re-form the command and gee that the wounded are placed in wagons,” Schwabacker said, replacing his unfired pistol. He knew a feeling of- satisfaction, for now he could report hig mission accomplished. At least half of it was, giving' Spotted Tail another licking. Schwabaclcer waited while his command assembled. Waited for their verdict, positive that one would be rendered by his men. He had invited this attack and men had been killed. They could blame him. Never forgive him. From Rutledge Hughes's expression Schwabacker saw that here was one man who never would. But he didn't give a hoot about Hughes? b He watched the faces of his men as they came in. A group of troopers stopped nearby, purposely Idle. Sergeant Finnegan returned and just stood there, not saying anything. Finally one of the troopers said, "That was a durn good fight, sir.” Schwabacker turned to his own camp and Sergeant Finnegan followed. Finally he said, "I’m just a dumb Irishman who takes orders, but by God, sor, you give ’em, and this troop'll follow 'em.” He grinned. Emi] Schwabacker had seen him grin tjefore./but this was different, for ft went beyond pleasure. It Was the grin one man gives another when he’s just glad to be a friend. Mission soundly accomplished is the, verdict of EmH’s troopers. But wine civilians don’t figure it that way, and they're making trouble for EmH.
