The local chapter of the American Federation of Musicians is 1 well known here for its fine public spirit. It has again impressed the people of Decatur with its public spiritedness by providing a dance band for the dance in honor of 68 exchange students who will visit in Decatur July 3. James Webb, the union president, is to be congratulated, as are all the fine members of this group. o o Do you know who will pay the most state taxes in Tennessee for the third straight year? Not one of the great corporations. The Tennessee Valley Authority—TVA —will pay the most. A total of $5.27 million to seven states and 137 counties will be paid in the fiscal year ending June 30. Municipal and cooperative distributors who receive TVA electricity (TVA produces rather than distributes) paid $8.5 million additional taxes. This is, of course, in addition to all the flood control, reclamation, and fertilizer programs operated, by the TVA. o o The appalling deaths of three young Decatur men saddened the hearts of the entire community this weekend. Donald J. Rumschlag, 29 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Rumschlag of Russell street, wasagraduateof Decatur Catholic high school and a veteran of overseas service* during the Korean War. A quiet, unassuming fellow, he worked at the Kunkle Valve Co. in Fort Wayne. Peter Meyers, a first cousin of the mayor of Fort Wayne, also served in Germany during the Korean War. He worked in Monroeville as freight agent for the Pennsylvania railroad. Frederick A. Tonnelier, adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tonnelier, was a mechanic at Security Cartage in Fort Wayne. All three young men were bachelors and members of the Decatur St. Mary’s Catholic Church. They were much loved by their friends and families, and their tragic death on the highways will be a constant reminder to others of the caution and moderation necessary to survive in this complex, cruel world.

warm weather and hot, sunny 1 days for gardens and crops alike. Fort the past two or three years, cold, muggy June seems to have been the rule. o—ro Screaming headlines from Los Angeles, telling of the unprecedented Democratic victories in California, have been sent to us by J. O. Sellemeyer, our California correspondent. Similar headlines from New Jersey, point to a strong Democratic year in that state, according to clippings sent by John H. Stewart, also a former Decaturite. It looks like four years of Republican idiocy r has been enough for most people. —(-o Many people wonder where an editor gets information for his editorials. Hundreds of publications, clippings, letters, and news stories are sent in each day to a newspaper. The editor goes through this material, and chooses what he thinks would be of interest to local people. An editorial goes further than a news story. A news story gives just facts about a given situation. An editorial tries to evaluate this kformation. Newspapers will certainly disagree on this interpretation. The important thing is, that by commenting on questions, an editorial gives each person a chance to decide for himself ' whether he believes a certain action is right or wrong. Not all editorials will give the opinion of the editor. In one week’s time, for example- the Congressional Record will issue proceedings and debates, with appended notes, equal in size and volume to two Fort Wayne telephone directories. The editor combs through this material, and comments on many of the happenings in Congress and the executive and judicial branches of government. Some people believe that all editorials in all newspapers should read about the same. This would destroy Democracy more surely than a Russian military victory. Difference of opinion, and the publication of that opinion, to help others to form their own opinions are essential in a Democracy. f

O * O Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE | o , o Q. Is it proper for a widow with two small children, who is being married again, to have a luncheon for friends and relatives after the ceremony? A. This is quite all right. The guest list for a second wedding is usually limited to the nearest relatives and good friends. Q. Is it all right for a man in the rear seat of a car with two women to sit between them? A. This is the proper place’for him. _. Q. Is it good taste for women, wearing choir robes in church, to wear corsages? A. Never! and the world an Q. Is it all right for the bridgegroom’s mother to invite her friends to her son’s wedding? A. She must not do this herself. Sjhe may suggest these names to her son, and he may then pass them on to his fiancee, who does the mailing of the invitations.

CHAPTER 34 I BEFORE the bugler sounded evening mess call, Emil Schwabacker’s father appeared with Henrietta Brubaker. Schwabacker ushered them into his room and handed Henrietta into a chair, then took one across from her. Doctor Gustave Schwabacker declined to sit, preferring to stand with his cigar eddying smoke around his face. “Perhaps you would care to explain this hideous affair of your arrest,” he said. “Emil, an explanation is due me." “I suppose it is,” Schwabacker said, but suddenly wondered, as lie had always wondered, how to explain the obvious, the small things that always guided a man in making the ultimate decision. He looked at Henrietta. “Do you want an explanation too?” "No,” she said. "EmU,..dishonor isn’t in you.” "Thank you. That’s all that really matters.” He looked then at his father. “Why did you come, sir?” "Because it isn’t fitting for an unmarried woman to travel alone. She has no father or brothers.” This angered Emil Schwabacker beyond reason. Slowly he stood erect and in the calmest of voices said, "Please get out, sir.” Doctor Gustave Schwabacker took the cigar from his mouth. 'AVhat did you say to me?” “I said get out, sir! Get out now and leave me alone.” His father stared unbelievingly, then angrily stomped out. Henrietta Brubaker sat with ner hands folded in her lap, her heart-shaped face serious t and somewhat worried. Concern pulled the bow of her mouth down. “Why did you do that, Emil? Because of what he said?” “Because I’ve had. enough,” he said. He took her hands and brought her to her feet, and he kissed her gently. “Sweetheart, I’ve just found out that I can’t talk to him. What can I explain that he’ll listen to?” “He's yopr father, Emil.” “I know.” He released her hands and went to the window. The mess boy was coming toward the quarters with a towel-covered tray. Schwabacker opened the door, took it from him and placed it on the writing desk. Schwabacker could have apologized for the service, and' perhaps the quality of the meal itself, but he did not. After his appetite was blunted, he put his fork aside and said, “Once I ran from him; that might have been a mistake. I don’t think it was, Henrietta.” “But you’re a doctor, Emil.” "And not a soldier?” He smiled and shook his head. "There you are honestly mistaken. I can soldier, perhaps even better than I can doctor.” His smile faded. “At, least I believe I can. My position now is hardly a recommendation, is it?” He poured a cup of coffee, £hen sat with it envied between his hands. “It> funny, but the more I think-of it, the more I 1 realize that Father’s right; there's very MtUe I do that ie correct.’'

Q. My husband’s name is Walter R. Clark, while his father is Walter 0. Clark. Should my husand affix “Jr.” to his name? A. Because of the difference in middle names, this is not necessary. Q. What acknowledgement can I make when friends stop me and express their regret over the recent death of my father? A. A natural and proper response would be: “Thank you for your sympathy.” ' o o I Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE o — o A Clean Oven The oven should always be inspected before using it, and cleaned of any specks that may have dropped from the last baking.

“I don't like to hear you talk like that” There was alarm in her voice. “You want the truth, don’t you ?” "We don’t know the truth!” She moved her hand impatiently. "Do you think your father knows the truth about himself? Have you ever been able to make him see himself? Emil, someone else always has to judge us. I think that’s because we always judge ourselves too harshly.” “I’ve bungled my military career miserably,” he said. “It began the moment I took command of my troop, Henrietta. My victories were petty, and my conceit great. I might have been lucky and escaped all this, but it ran out. I don’t know when.” “But I love you,” she said and cupped his hands in hers. “I came because I wanted to be with you, Emil; we’ve been apart too long.” She regarded him thoughtfully, a small smile tilting up the ends of her lips. "Darling, I don’t think you need me if things turn out badly. You've changed and you don't need anyone’s strength; you have your own.” "I feel that way,” he said, “but I didn’t want to say it” “Darling, we’ve never had to explain to each other,” she said. “Let’s not start now.” "With you,” he said, "I've never had to explain because you understood instinctively. But with my father, I never could get him to understand how important it is for a man to make his own mistakes.” “That's strange,” Henrietta said. "I never thought much about it before, but it doesn’t matter where a man's mistakes lead him, as long as they are his own.” She shook hew head. “I’m sorry for your father because he always took matters away from you at the moments when you were ready to make your own decisions. It's a shame because he never saw you grow, and I imagine it’s a father's finest reward, to see his son grow into a man.” Her dress rustled as she moved near him. Then she cupped his face in her hand? and kissed him. "I’ll love you more for every mistake you make, Emil. It will be my constant assurance that you’re still human.” He stood in the doorway while she walked away, and some of the, weight lifted from his shoulders. He felt like a free man and he no right to feel that way. The preliminary talks with the Cheyenne chiefs ended at sundown, and the eight-man peace commission went to their quarters, where supper was served with all the pomposity at the command of the Fort Laramie mess sergeant- After the meal, when the dishes had been removed and cigars ignited, the four civilians excused themselves, leaving four generals alone with one other man, Jim Bridger. “How long you goin’ to let th' capt’n stay in arrest, Gener’l Sherman?" There was more than curiosity behind Bridger’s remark; there was concern.

General Harney asked, “A friend of yours, Mr. Bridger?” “Friend? I never met him, that’s a fact; but he don’t deserve bein’ arrested.” “Very peculiar,” Sherman said softly. He got up, summoned an orderly and had him dispatched for Colonel Nelson Ashford. Then he turned to Jim Bridger. “It’s not like you, Jim, to be so concerned. May I ask why?” “Well,” Bridger said, scratching his head, "there ain’t no real reason, I guess, ’ceptin’ that what he's goin’ to get ain’t justice.” “We’re not aware of the charges,” General Augur said quickly. “Mr. Bridger, the man hasn’t been tried yet; how can we say what he’ll get?” "Because you go by that little book of rules!” Bridger said. “Ain’t sayin’ they're wrong, but there’s times when a man’s got to bend th’ rules a little to fit the case.” “The army is not conducted along such flexible lines,” General Terry said flatly. “Captain Schwabacker will be tried and if found guilty of the charges, whatever they are, will be punished according to regulations.” Bridger looked at General William T. Sherman. “You go along with that?” “I’m afraid I must, Jim. If we start changing the rules in the middle of the game . . Colonel Ashford's arrival prevented the completion of Sherman’s comment Instead, Sherman spoke to Ashford. “Colonel, the arrival of the Indians was a great surprise td me, but I even more surprised when I asked to meet and congratulate the officer and sergeant who had performed this magnificent job, and had the officer of the day inform me that one was in the guardhouse and the other in arrest of quarters. Colonel, I would like an explanation of this.” "Sir, the matter is relatively simple, at least on the surface." Ashford licked his lips, then went on to explain the circumstances surrounding Captain Nathan Kincaid’s death, and his widow's subsequent charges of unauthorized surgery performed by Schwabacker. When he finished, Sherman sat frowning. Then he glanced at Harney, Terry and Augur. "Gentlemen, are we agreed that Captain Schwabacker should be released from arrest?” They nodded. Ashford said, ‘Til issue the order, sir.” “One moment," Sherman said. ‘The sergeant—why is he confined?” "I don’t know,” Ashford said. "The O.D. said he was confined on Captain Schwabacker’s orders.” “Confusing to say the least,” Sherman said with a.touch of humor in his voice. "Lucky there was not a corporal among them. The sergeant would have arrested him for something, no doubt” Emil’s court-martial, which can cost him everything he cherishes, begins in tomorrow’s chapter of this story.

June Temperature Is Below Average May Rank Second Coolest In Years INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — This month may turn out to be the second coolest June in Indiana in more than half a century. U.S. Weather Bureau records showed today that the average or “mean” temperature at Indianapolis for the first 23 days of the ' month was 66.5 degrees, compared with an average for Junes of the 20th Century thus far of 71.4 degrees. Furthermore, a rundown of all the Junes since 1905 shows that only once in that period has the average temperature for the month been lower than the current average, with one week still remaining. Os course, anything could happen between now and next Monday midnight, when June departs after a 30-day stand. But longrange forecasts call for continued cool weather this week and, if anything, the average might drop below current levels. However it is doubtful if it will be cool enough to push the aveage below the 65.4 degrees for the entire month of June in 1928. That was the chilliest June on record in more than 50 years. The second coldest was as recent as 1955, when the month's average was 67.1 degrees. There have been 10 other Junes in the last half century when averages were below 69 degrees. Probably it was just happenstance, rather than significant, that two-thirds of the cold Junes were followed by below - normal Julys. ; Yet the records show that six of the 12 coldest Junes this century were followed by sub- norI mal average temperatures in both Julys and Augusts. < Warm weather haters should not build up their hopes, however. Three years > ago, that cold 67.1degree June was followed by above.r normal average temperatures for July and August. Agency Announces Annual Dividend The Glenn J.
