•*I cannot say he is dead, he is just away.” So the words of the poet reverberate in my mind on this particular day. Some thirtyfive years ago I learned to know Dick Heller, a high school yell leader at that time, and our friendship and understanding have matured through the years as common problems and interests have enabled me to know and admire one of Decatur’s finest citizens. Though our philosophies differed in some aspects, each respected the other and, as a result, we found much in common. Dick had the distinction of having served his state well in the inner councils of the Democratic party, but numbered many of the opposition among his very best friends. Because of his interest in Jeffersonian democracy he lived such a life with his family and his concern for Decatur caused him to aid in promoting many community interests tho’ he had been away for a number of years. Returning to Decatur with his wife and sons in 1945, Dick became active in the publication of this newspaper and continued to exemplify the fine traditions which had been established over the years. Unassuming as he was, those of us who knew him appreciated that he had a keen interest in Decatur and the welfare of his fellow citizens. As outdoor enthusiasts we alternately baked and froze together and during those experiences Is learned that his keen interest in Nature made him close to the Almighty. Recently his health began to fail and an operation seemed to turn the tide in his favor. Though recent developments made his job more of a chore, he was always cheerful and had the courage to stick with it until forced to submit to further surgery. Dick D. Heller has gone to a better and brighter World, there to take his place with the others, all who performed their tasks as they honestly saw jt. and have given their best in a life of service as they thought it should be. I join with the multitude of friends and business associates in extending sincere sympathy to Martha, Dick Jr., Jack and Mr. and Mrs. John Heller. May you

recall . . . “Weeping may endure for the night; but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5. (Deane T. Dorwin) to O Adams county will have its own flood control champion in Washington when Vance Hartke is elected U. S. Senator this fall. A charter member of the Wabash Valley Improvement Association, active in the Ohio Valley Improvement Association, and the Rivers and Harbors Advisory Committee to Congress, Mayor Hartke was able to secure two appropriations for planning and construction to complete works at Evansville which had lain partially completed for more than 20 years. “Disastrous flood after disflood has hit Hoosier communities and farms. While plans of the U. S. Army engineers gather dust, most of Indiana’s Republican-dominated delegation in both houses of Congress is content to sit and wait. The state administration has not lifted a fingey to prevent future inundations. Other states meanwhile have taken giant strides toward prevention of future floods and harnessing of great rivers,” he stated recently. u o—o Sen. Ralph E. Flanders, Republican from Vermont, has recently introduced a resolution approving the sending of troops to Lebanon. On the surface this seems harmless enough, except that further on in the resolution “Whereas” clauses, Flanders blames the entire present MidEast problem on Israel. While undoubtedly Israel is a thorn in the side of many Arab nations, the fundamental cause of the trouble is the natural desire of the Arabs to be free from foreign intervention. Hiis dynamic spirit of nationalism has moved them to throw Off the yoke of colonial domination, much as we ourselves threw off the yoke of British colonial domination in our Revolutionary War of 1775-83. The Arabs state time and again that they are not anti-West, but desire the freedom to cooperate with those who will help them the most. This sounds like the basic “free enterprise” system to us.

Lower Food Prices Forecast This Fall Likely To Average Below Record High WASHINGTON (UPD —The Agriculture Department today forecast lower food prices during the coming months. Retail food prices for the remainder of the year are likely to average below the record high prices of the January-June period, the department said in its publication “The National Food Situation.” However prices for the last half of 1958 still will be “slightly above” those in the last half of 1957. “Supplies of some foods — particularly meats and fresh fruits and vegetables—will be somewhat larger than in the first half of 1958, the department said. It added consumer demand for food is expected to continue high this summer and fall. Meat supplies now are on the seasonal upswing, the department said. Compared with a year earlier consumers are expected to have more pork and top grades of beef per person but less veal and lower grades of beef. More chicken and about as many eggs are in prospect but less turkey. Per capital supplies of dairy products this summer and fall are expected to be about at the year-earlier level. Supplies of food from crops will be as large this summer and fall as last, the department said. Food crop production, according to July 1 indications, will be at a very high level. A large part of the increase over last year will be in crops such as wheat for which consumption rates have been declining rapidly. Among items expected to be in heavier supply than in the last half of 1957 are edible oils, potatoes, melons and fresh deciduous fruits.

CHAPTER 16 SLADE CONSIDINE wondered if Frenchy Quebedeaux would stand by and let the hanging go on without a word of protest Under the spur of violent temper. Frenchy was capable of almost anything, but he had time to cool off now. It was questionable, however, whether, now that there had been some blows struck and some noses bloodied, Frenchy could stop the mob even if he wanted to do so. Anyhow Frenchy still seemed to be angry. He swung up to the back of his bay and watched coldly while one of the Mexicans tossed a rope over a strong limb of a cottonwood and another adjusted the knot around the cowboy’s neck. Slade, sitting helpless In the saddle with his hands bound tightly behind him and two strong natives holding his horse’s head, felt a wave of despair sweep over him. He opened his Ups, half intending to try reasoning with the slim, * dark Mexican who seemed to be leader of the mob, then closed them again without speaking. There was nothing he could say to them that would make any difference. It would only make them believe he was afraid to die. He turned to Frenchy. He wanted to tell the big sheepman that he knew now he had made an- ° other mistake in jumping to the obvious conclusion that Frenchy had butchered the T Anchor calf. These Mexicans had known about Frenchy** arrest too soon. Only the man who had left that calf In his cellar could have forewarned them. But he wanted to say It so ft wouldn’t sound like begging for his life. Frenchy would have only contempt for a man he thought to be a coward. “If you go through with this, Frenchy, you will be making as big a mistake as I did," he warned quietly. "Whoever planted that calf in your cellar wasn’t just trying to make trouble for me. You will be—” "Shut op!” the slim leader of the gang said angrily, and slashed a quirt viciously across his unprotected face. > Frenchy didn’t seem to see or hear. He was watching Bacho, his sheepherder, with a queer intent look on his dark face. Bacho was off the little mule, stumbling around in a seeming * half-drunken stupor. Slade met his eyes, and the herder smiled fleetingly, then kicked at a mound that looked to be a bit of protruding cottonwood root. The air was suddenly filled with an angry K-m-m-m-ing, e-z-z-t---ing sound. Bacho slapped at his eheek and gavs another vicious kick into ths brownish dump.

The next instant saw plenty of action as the Mexicans began 1 fanning the air desperately with I ’ their hats. One of the wasps i smacked viciously onto Slade’s cheek. He ducked his head against I his shoulder, wondering with a i curious resignation how long it i would be before one of them 1 stung his horse. The rope was , tied at both ends now. The necki tie party wasn’t going to come , I off exactly according to schedule. , Nobody was going to enjoy It | . much, but it looked like they were ■ , going to get the job done anyhow. He ducked his head against the furious onslaught of the wasps, < and so did not see Frenchy sud- j ' denly spur his bay in close. But ’ the next moment he did feel a knife slash the rope at his neck, ( then the one that bound his wrists. ( Frenchy picked up the reins and handed them to him. “Thees way—queeck!” he said quietly. A moment ago Slade had J counted himself a dead man. yet j now he was free as easy as that. Nobody protested bis going. The Mexicans were busy taking care . of their own troubles. Batting i desperately at the vicious little wasps, they scattered in as many , directions as there were men—- ■ lynch fever, for the moment, completely forgotten in the excitei rnent. ? , Slade kicked spurs to the sorrel and followed.. Frenchy’s lead. ■ A quarter of a mile away, at the edge of New Town, they pulled i up. Slade’s face was smarting , In half a dozen places where the wasps had stung him, and he saw Frenchy put up a hand and rub • his own cheeks gingerly. ' "Where now?” the Frenchman ! asked quietly. "To the jail—or home?” There was the hint of a , twinkle in his black eyes. i Slade answered with a grin that > was more than a little sheepish. I '•Home,’’ he said. “And you can : take it as a promise, Frenchy, - that when I do get a candidate for that jail, I’m danged sure ! now it won't be you!” I Frenchy hesitated before turning his horse. "Because you theenk maybe I save your life?” ■ he asked soberly. “Because you ' theenk you are— how you say it? ' —in my debt?" "Hell, no!" Slade said with such emphasis that a smile broke over Frenchy’s face. “1 know now that you never butchered that calf!’’ He flushed and hesitated for a moment, embarrassed at how often be seemed to be owing this big, gruff Frenchman an apology. "I'm new at this iawlng business. 1 made a mistake and I’m sorry, i Next time I won’t be quite so i quick to believe the easiest answer is ths right ons."

at the proper moment in the ceremony the mother steps forward and gives her away. q How should the prongs of one’s fork be pointed while one is taking food into the mouth — up or down? A. While cutting the food, the prongs are pointed down—but when lifting the food to the mouth, the prongs are pointed upward. Q. Is it polite to refuse a cigarette someone has offered you, if you prefer your own brand? A. Yes; but refuse graciously, saying, "Thank you, but I have some.” o . —.... . - ... o | Household Scrapbook ! By ROBERTA LEE o— — —o Com If there is any corn left-over from the previous meal it can be used by putting into the omelet with a little diced green pepper, or fill fresh tomatoes with it and then bake. Mortar on Glass It is said that mortar can easily be removed from window glass by rubbing it with strong, hot vinegar.

Frenchy put out his hand. “We forget it!" he said kindly. "Sometimes — like today — when I'm mad, I also make the meestakes!” “In the morning,” Slade promised, "I’m going back where I found that calf and check tracks more carefully. Maybe I can learn something." A troubled look came over the Frenchman’S face. “I theenk I —" he began slowly, then checked himself abruptly. "But notheeng!” he said in answer to the look of Inquiry on the cowboy’s face. “AUons! We go home.” • • • As the guitars and fiddles started up again, Martha Kilgore took another quick, surreptitious glance at the watch she wore on a long gold chain, tucked into the waist band of her dress. It was nearly eleven-thirty. After this next dance, considering that they had a ten-mile ride ahead of them, she could ask Wynn Thomason to take her home. She was tired of pretending she was having a good time, al- ? though at first It had been tun. There was a strange, foreign world air that had delighted her about this dimly lighted, lowceilinged room, with its crowd of dark-skinned, shyly friendly people who smiled and spoke to her in liquid Spanish, of which she understood not a word. The women, many of them with babies tn their arms and small children at their knees, sat on benches along the two long sides of the room. The men clustered in gangs around the windows and door. Everybody, including blackshawled grandmothers and spin-dle-legged children, danced, but they seemed to make ft Serious business of Lt. They whirled and skipped to the fast-thumping guitars, with grave, almost wooden faces, holding their partners at arm’s length, and it seemed to be a breach of etiquette to talk while dancing. Martha pushed a wave of hair back from her damp forehead. Her head ached. There weren’t enough windows In the room and the air was heavy with tobacco smoke. But not even to herself would she admit the real reason why the evening had lost Its savor for her. The reason, of course, was that Slade Considine had not kept his promise to meet her at the dance. The tracks of Frenchy's big bay lead Slade straight to the Kilgore home pasture. It Is almost as If someone had run up a red flag with Frenchy’s name on it. More trouble is in store for Frenchy—and Slade-— as the story continues here tomorrow. j

The answer is simple. It’s businessmen who choose trucks to haul their freight. . . businessmen who buy or sell or process products, both factory and farm. It’s businessmen who have been responsible for the leaps-and-bounds growth of the trucking industry in 30plus years. And they’re using trucks more and more. The reason, of course, in one word Trucks give virtually a special delivery service-direct, quick and economical—a kind of service not otherwise available.
