Beef and cattle exhibitors at the 1958 Indiana State Fair will vie for more than a half million dollars in open class competition. Members of 4-H clubs will share more than SB,OOO worth of prizes for the two classes. “The best way to understand the real justification of our compulsory social security program is to compare it with the purposes of compulsory education” says the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. We believe this is fundamentally true. Both serve the public interest. With illiteracy, Democracy can not survive. When millions of elderly people have no means of support, Democracy is again threatened. When schools were first started, they were oneroom affairs, and everyone learned together, reciting out loud. Then came the graded school. And the high school. Official accredited school. Higher teacher standards. Safety and health standards. Finally scholarships for college and low-cost state colleges which made 16 years of schooling pos- ■ sible for everyone who desires it. The same sort of progress will undoubtedly be made with social security. Benefits should certainly keep pace with the cost of living, o— —o o According to state and county reports, eight out of every ten fatal accidents on Indiana county roads during the first five months of 1958 involved only one car and driver. This is quite unusual nowadays. Most accidents are two or multicar crashes. County roads, mostly of gravel and quite narrow, are not engineered for high speeds. Most drivers are careful when a car approaches. But since the state speed limit is 65 miles per hour, they feel it is alright to speed up on clear stretches. This leads to skids on loose gravel and failure to complete sharp curves. Few county roads have signs. Surely the high rate of fatalities from one-car accidents on county road indicates that the state speed limit of 65 miles per hour should apply only to state and Federal highways. The state legislature should adopt a 45 mile per hour speed limit for county roads, reserving the right to change this up or down to the county commissioners.

Decatur merchants, residents and county farmers all got a break in the weather Wednesday. The sidewalk sale brought many hundreds of people to town. The city took on the old “carnival” appearance, common in the days of the street fair. But all the merchandise was carefully examined, and many bargains snapped up by the people. Hie Chambersponsored sidewalk sale was certainly a great success. o -o o Township tax rates could be trimmed in Adams county if the county home Aifere approved to care for patients receiving welfare funds from the state and federal government. On May 14 D. John Turpin, public health sanitarian of the state board of health, Joyce Myers, nutrition consultant, and Mrs. Dorothy Luthringer, R. N., consultant nurse, inspected the Adams county home, with Frank Kitson, superintendent. Their reports were sent to Dr. W. C. Anderson, M.D., director of the division of chronic diseases of the state board of health. On June 16 he notified the board of county commissioners the results of the survey, specific recommendations. Most of these recommendations, covering the source of water and milk for the home, sewage disposal, plumbing, and food service, should be put in effect whether the county desires welfare funds, or not. At present patients in the county home who cannot pay any or part of their costs cannot get welfare aid. The township, through its tax rate, pays for their aid. Yet Adams county taxpayers, through their state and federal taxes, are paying for welfare patients in county homes all over the state. Since welfare money is going to be used to pay for most of the patients in the state, we are foolish not to use that money here for the same purpose. The cost of the improvements, needed for the health and safety of the patients, would be repaid in savings the first year. It will not raise our state or federal tax, but will lower our townahip tax rate.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Upon her arrival in New Mexico to Stay at the ranch of her grandmother, Rachel Kilgore, whom she has never seen before, Martha Kilgore finds herself in the midst of a feud. For when dumped into a creek by her balky horse, she was rescued by Slade Considine and taken to the ranch of Slade's uncle. Nick Considine. to get dry and warm. Hearing her name was sufficient to cause Nick to order her off his land and tell his nephew to stay away from all the'Kilgores or be disowned. Nick Considine and Rachel Kilgore have been bitter enemies for forty years. All the ranchers in the Chupaderos have had a common problem thrust upon them. The Government has established a new Forest Service and is taking steps to Impose regulations on the use of range that the ranchers considered theirs by right of possession. Rachel Kilgore has called a meeting of the ranchers at Wynn Thomason’s place to discuss ways and means of backing the Forest Service's measures. . . ' Slade has a surprise to spring on those present at the meeting. . . . CHAPTER 8 “T7OR THE FIRST TIME in r forty years, Slade, your uncle Nick and I are in agreement. Wynn and thia sheep person"— Rachel Kilgore nodded her head contemptuously in Frenchy Quebedeaux’s direction—“are hanging on the fence, but I think we can make them see it our way.” Slade Considine looked across at Martha Kilgore, feeling a sudden deep regret for what he was going to say, wondering if he would wipe that friendly look out of her eyes for good. ‘‘You are talking about the Forest Service, 1 suppose?" Slade asked Rachel Kilgore. ‘‘Yes, Nick and I are going to fight. If Wynn and Frenchy will join us, stand pat against any outside influence coming in here and trying to tell us what to do with our own land, we cam make it stick. If we can convince those politicians in Washington that we are all united, that we will raise hell with any attempt to meddle in our affairs, they will back down quick enough." ‘‘You think so?" asked Slade. “I know it. But wf need someone young and strong and smart to lead the fight You are a Considine, and I never thought the time would come when I would even Mck a Considine for county rat killer—but this time I haven’t much choice. The day you finish the job, I will give you five hundred dollars —and I think Nick will match it What do you say?” Slade Considine got up and went over and stood in front of the fireplace. He took papers and tobacco out of his pocket and rolled a smoke. “I don’t care What you do or how you do it,” the old lady went lon grimly. “I will give you a free hand and I will back you to 1 the limit. Jim Ned and Hud will I take orders from you the Same as | me, and if you get in trouble with I the local authorities—or, as far [as that is concerned, with the

Overall Picture Os Developments In Mideast Crisis By United Press International BEIRUT — 3,600 U.S. Marines landed in Lebanon, most dug in at strategic positions around the airport. More landings expected. LONDON — Britain assembles .1 armed forces to aid U.S. inter- ■ vention if necessary; aircraft carrier Eagle begins patrolling waters off Lebanon. PARIS — France to send troops and ships to Lebanon but pins hopes on American suc- ; cess. CAlßO—Landings surprise egyptians and Cairo prepared to brand America as No. 1 enemy of Arab nationalism. DAMASCUS — New Iraqi rebel minister says Iraq will mprch with Nasser to realize unity of the I entire Arabian world. UNITED NATIONS—U.S. gives ? Russia choice of voting for U.N. police force in Lebanon or keeping U.S. Marines there. | MOSCOW — Soviet press says Marine landings “a direct act of | war and open piracy.”

government — I’ll spend every cent I’ve got if I have to to get you free. The only thing I ask is that you be careful. Don’t use your gun unless you have to!” Slade Considine looked around at the circle of faces. Wynn Thomason was frowning down at his boot-toe. Frenchy Quebcdeaux had stopped squirming and was watching him intently. There was an eager, half proud, half wary look on his uncle’s thin face; and Martha was staring thoughtfully into the fire. “I suppose I should have spoken up before you had your say,” he said quietly. “You see —I joined up with the Forest Service today. I’m to be the new Ranger in this district.” Something like a gasp went around the room. Then there was dead silence for a moment Nick Considine's thin old fingers tightened around the arms of his rocker. He leaned far forward in his chair. "Slade!” His tone was pleading. “You —you didn't mean that? You were just joking, weten't you?" “No,” he said steadily, -“I meant it. The Forest Service is here to stay. It is too big a thing for one or two —or half a dozenoutfits to try and fight. They aim to play it fair end square if they can get the co-operation of folks like you. Captain Catlin offered me the job because he figured you all knew me. and he thought maybe you would listen to me. But —but I guess I’m not much 'of a talker.” He stopped and again looked around at the circle of cold, hostile faces. He shrugged, and when he spoke again his voice was Completely businesslike. o “I haven’t seen a plat of your allotments yet, so all I can tell you is what Catlin told me—you will be given grazing land according to how many cattle or sheep you have. I can't sec things will be much different under the Forest Service than they have ever been, except of course that you will have to pay a small grazing fee. But it won’t be enough to hurt any of you, and Uncle Sam’s entitled to a little rent on his land. You will have a Ranger whose job it is to see that each person keeps his stock on his own allotment—and somebody to try and stop the rustling that has been going on for the last two years.” , For a full minute nobody spoke. Then Wynn Thomason cleared his throat. “Mrs. Kilgore,” he said softly, "is that offer of a job still open? I know I’m second choice, but since Slade’s going to be busy maybe I would do as a substitute. I’d like mighty well to try.” The old lady’s head jerked round. She eyed Wynn for a mo- -—. . I "

TEHRAN—Baghdad Radio said the 10,000 Iraqi troops stationed in Jordan have obeyed the rebel orders and returned to Iraq.

ment. She jutted out her firm little chin. "It is!” she said clearly. "Nick and I still intend to fight. Don’t we, Nick?" Nick Considine looked straight at his nephew and nodded. “I'll double your five hundred, Rachel!" He got slowly to his feet “This has been a blow to me! For the first time in my life I am ashamed of the Considine name. Good night to you folks.” At a nod from Wynn, Pat Guajardo jumped to his feet, opened the door and went outside with the old man. Rachel Kilgore turned to Frenchy. “Are you still on the fence?" The big Frenchman stood up, twisting his hat in his hands. “I don’ know what ees right,” he said slowly. “But I theenk I play along weeth Oncle Sam. He’s been a good oncle to me!” He looked at Slade Considine. “You - will want a place for camp. The cabin of Frenchy Quebedeaux ees not fine, but you are welcome.” The cowboy hesitated. Frenchy had always seemed a gruff, al- : most cross sort of person. Not i very pleasant company, and Slade ■ had the cowman’s natural dislike of sheepmen. But what Frenchy ’ said true. He would need a : place to stay in the Chupaderos : until he had time to build a cabin, i and the weather was still too raw ■ for tent camping. Besides, it > would give him a good chance for i a thorough look around the Que- ; bedeaux place. I Knowing that he was branding • himself with the sheepman’s, taint • in the eyes of men like Hud Liv- • ingstone and Jim Ned Wheeler, f he nodded. “Thank you, Frenchy. That’s mighty kind of you.” He • picked up his hat and took a step I toward the door, then turned and i looked down at Martha Kilgore. “Good night, Miss Kilgore.” > The girl stood up. “I wouldn’t 1 have a very high opinion of a ■ man who would do what you have r just done—take that kind of a i job—just for spite!” she said f clearly. > Slade didn’t let his face show j that that hurt “Do you think i that?” The girl looked long and i straight at him. Uncertainty i came into her eyes. “I—l don’t r know.” Then after a moment, in i unconcerned defiance of what her > grandmother might think, she put out her hand. “No—l don’t really . believe that. But just the same—" i Suddenly Wynn Thomason was I at her side. “Slade, you’ve overl stayed your welcome. My home , is not open to Rangers—or sheepr herders. Get out!” “And remember,” said Rachel Kilgore, “to button on your bulletI proof vest from now on!” (To Be Continued) —..- . *> —I i ■ - ■
