The next meeting of the Decatur city council on September 16 at 8 p.m. at the city hall may have some interesting discussion and proposals on the city light company problem. "O'' o A leaky solvent line in a soybean mill at Grand River, 0., caused a $500,000 explosion Monday. In the solvent process of extracting oil from soybeans a volitile solvent is used. This can become a dangerous explosive if not treated properly. Anyone who has visited our local plant here is well aware of the many safety precautions taken to prevent such an accident. Visitors are not even allowed near the solvent plant, and every possible precaution is taken, including checks of the solvent lines to prevent leaks. o o Our congratulations to Berne for securing a fine, new industry. Every new industry in the county will help the community grow. It will serve as an incentive for Decatur to compete in the “market” for new industries. Apathy on the part of local merchants in the search for industry, a “let John do it” attitude, has probably kept Decatur from progressing as well as Berne has in this instance. Some dissatisfaction was expressed in Decatur, and even in Monroe and Bluffton, that a man elected state representative for both Adams and Wells counties had headed the Berne committee, rather than working for the entire two-county area. But by and large, that which will-help Berne will certainly help the rest of the county, and everyone is happy when more employment is added.

The Deep South is not the only area of the United States integrating its schools. It is happening right here in Adams county. Two Negroes have entered Geneva school system this year. They are not, of course, the first in the county’s history. Negroes have actually played a fairly important role in the county past. A man who was of Negro blood founded the town of Monmouth. There was a Negro settlement in French township until the 1880’s. Decatur school system used to have Negroes when there was a family of that race living here. The Geneva "integration” is completely free of violence, we understand, and has been accepted by the other students, and their parents. Racial bigotry, like religious bigotry, is slowly dying out. o o An estimated 30,000 Americans will lose their sight by the end of 1958. Total blind in the United States today is an estimated 340,000. One-half of all blindness is needless and preventable. It is true that medical science has yet to conquer many sight-stealing diseases, but it is equally apparent that ignorance, neglect, and apathy are responsible for the lose of sight of thousands of Americans each year. One million Americans have glaucoma, but half are unaware of it. Undetected, it can destroy sight. Spot it early, treat it promptly, and chances are excellent that the progress of the disease can be arrested. The test for glaucoma is simple and accurate. And 90% of the in-plant and home workshop accidents to eyes are preventable. Take care of your eyes —they are one of your most valuable possessions.

Authorities Doubt Boy Killed Parents Police Investigate New Slaying Lead NEW YORK (UPD— Police investigated a new lead today that could disprove Melvin Dean Nimer’s thrice-told story that it was he who killed his parents. The boy is 8 years old. As the child underwent psychiatric tests at Belevuc Medical Center, police looked dojyn “an avenue foreign to the boy” in their investigation into the stabbing deaths of Dr. and Mrs. Melvin Nimer the morning of Sept. 2. Deputy chief inspector Edward W. Byrnes said late Thursday, shortly after the boy was committed to Bellevue, that detectives had been sent “out of town” to investigate new leads. “They are looking for a possible other motive and are exploring an avenue foreign to the boy,” Byrnes said. The boy, who is called by his middle name of Dean, was remanded to Bellevue by Justice Charles E. Ramsgate after he purportedly told police on three separate occasions that he stole into his parents room and stabbed both in the abdomen with a bread knife. A medical examiner's report released Thursday night said it was possible for the 4-foot, slightly built child to have committed the crime. But the boy’s attorney said earlier Dean told him he did not kill his parents. Dr. Dominick Di Maio of the medical examiner’s office said “The fatal wounds were in soft tissue which made it possible for almost anyone to have administered them with a minimum amount of pressure.” Nimer and his wife Lou Jean apparently were in bed when they were attacked. Di Maio said. Both were fatally wounded by pistonlike downward stabs in the abdomen and slashed on other parts of their bodies. Attorney Harris B. Steinberg, hired by Dean’s relatives, said ip. a conversation with the towheaded youngster that the boy reverted to his original story that “a man in a white mask” killed his parents. More than 12 per cent of ail single-family homes sold in the U. S. now contain at least some prefabricated parts. months. -— —

CHAPTER 30 Beulah denhart was not i used to riding. She had ar- i rived at the Kilgore ranch a little ' past nocm, sore and tired, after a ten-mile ride. But she wasn’t thinking of her aching muscles now. She hadn't thought about them when Rachel Kilgore had picked out a tall bay for her to ride. She had simply thrown her saddle on him, climbed aboard, grabbed the horn with one hand and dug in her spurs. She didn’t stop to think, either, why it was that after she got down Into the foothills she made the turn that would take her to Frenchy Quebedeaux’s place instead of directly In to Barrancas for the sheriff. All she was aware of was a feeling that Frenchy was the strongest person she knew, the most likely to be able and grilling to do what she asked. It was dusk when she got to the sheep ranch. Bacho was bringing the sheep Into shelter, and smoke curling from the chimney told her Frenchy was home. She pulled up and slid out of the saddle. The door was closed but she opened it and went In without stopping to knock. Frenchy turned as she opened the door. An Incredulous look as of a man seeing visions swept over his face. Beulah’s eyes swept around the room. “Slade isn’t back yet?" Frenchy shook his head, seemingly still not able to find his voice. Beulah looked at him, standing there so big and solid and dependable Suddenly she ran across the room toward him. Her breath came out ot her tight choked throat In a sob. “Frenchy! I— l’m scared!" Slowly, with that sleepwalking look still on his face, the big Frenchman raised his hands and put them on her shoulders. Beulah pressed closer. She leaned her head against his breast, while tired, frightened sobs that she couldn’t control any longer came up out of her throat in convulsive gasps. Frenchy’s arms went around her gently. After a moment she drew back, wiping her eyes on the back of her hand like a tearful child. "Frenchy—you’ve got to help — but I don't know how!" "But of course!” he said simply. “Anytheeng!" Beulah smiled at him wanly. "Frenchy, you’re a swell person. 11 guess I should have gone to Duffus—but he Is so slow- - moving—and he and Wynn are | such good friends." I “Wypn?" Frenchy asked sharply. “Why you come to me about beem?"

20 Years Ago Today O o Sept. 12. 1938 -r- Joseph Dayton Durbin, 67, of Pleasant Mills, died of injuries sustained when he was struck by an auto driven by Miss May Clark, of Washington, DC. Authorities absolved Miss Clark of blame. The Decatur B. P. O. Elks lodge, for the first time in its history, will be host to the fall meeting of the north central Indiana Elks association Saturday and Sunday. Oct. 8 and 9. Mrs. Gladys Chrisman, of Berne, former Decatur teacher, has been signed to teach art and music in the Hartford Center high school. The district convention of the Rebekah lodges of Adams. Wells and Blackford counties will be held in Decatur Wednesday afternoon and evening. Decatur citizens are sweltering under a belated heat wave, with the temperature hitting 90 degrees this afternoon, along with a humidity reading of 85. The Tokyo department stock in Tokyo has under its roof six railway and subway stations as well as a streetcar terminal. —„

Beulah tried to start at the i beginning and tell him everything I as clearly as Martha had told it 1 to her, but when she finished he was shaking his head. His < straight black brows met In a < puzzled frown over the high i bridge of his nose. “Wheech man ees eet you ar« wanting to halp?" he asked sharply. Beulah's eyes widened tn surprise. “Why. Sladp. of course. Don't you understand? He has gone up to the Valle Medio. Wynn —or Tony—has already killed one man today. They will surely kill Slade, too. Wynn hates Slade. He always has. and now this Forest Service business had turned him into a crazy man.” She put up a hand and brushed the thick red hair back from her forehead. “Two months ago if anybody had tried to tell me anything would ever turn Wynn into a killer, I would have laughed in his face.” Behind them the door opened. Bacho stood for a surprised moment, seeing how close they were together, seeing the look that was on big Frenchy’s face. He started to back out and close the door, but Frenchy stopped him. “Wait, Bacho! We need you!" Beulah looked up Intently at Frenchy. “Do you want to send him to Barrancas after the sheriff? He can take my horse. I know he will make better time i than I could." Frenchy shook his head. "We don’ need the shereef. I take Bacho up to the Valle Medio i weeth me. He got more sense ■ than ten shereefs!” Beulah looked a little doubtful about that, but she didn’t protest. From a nail on the wall Fren- ■ chy took down the cartridge belt j and gun that he seldom wore and strapped It around his hips. He I shrugged his broad shoulders into a leather coat. Suddenly realizing that she was > sending him into the same danger i that threatened Slade Considine, : Beulah caught at his sleeve as he started for the door. “Frenchy—- , I—I—" she foundered helplessly, f then caught her breath and start- . ed again. “Please—be careful! I - —I wouldn’t want you to be hurt, too!” • Frenchy’s dark eyes deepened and softened. Then with a quick . movement he put his hands on i. her shoulders, bent his head and » kissed her lightly on the forehead. “I be careful," he promised. "I e be putty darn careful. I wan’ to come back now!” -J" - It had been an awkward cat ress, and yet there was something so almost reverent about it,

Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE O « ; O Fruit Fruit will not keep well if allowed to touch. If the fruit must be kept close together because of space, keep the tissue paper wrappers on the oranges, apples, etc., so that the skins do not touch and cause decay. It will keep best if laid separately on a shelf. Whipped Cream Substitute If there is no whipping cream at hand, a substitute can be made which is just as good as genuine cream. Take unsweetened evaporated milk, chill it, then add sugar and flavor. The Dog Do not give the dog cold food during the hot weather. Food that is taken from the refrigerator should be set aside until it has time to lose its chill. The 56 million cars owned by Americans make up about 70 per cent of all the autos in the world.

and a tone so tender in his voice, that it penetrated even the girl's fear for Slade Considine. She looked up at him with wide eyes, and what she saw in his dark, good-looking face brought a sudden, almost intolerable ache to her throat She knew so well what it meant to love someone who didn’t love tn return. A wave of red came up into her white cheeks. “Gosh, Frenchy!” she breathed. “I—l never even suspected—” He patted her shoulder. “Mais non!” he said a little roughly. “I never tol’ you, did I?" He went out the door. Bacho, who had been slower getting into his coat, lingered a moment “If you want to wait here till we get back there’s a bedroom back there.” He nodded toward the closed door tn the back wall of the long room. “Thanks, Bacho,” the girl said. Bacho looked at her intently. “Frenchy built that room a year ago for a girl he wanted to marry,” he said quietly. “What happened to the girl?" Beulah asked, as if she already knew the answer. “She got herself engaged to somebody else. Frenchy was Jolly well cut up about it at first He shut up that room and hasn’t allowed anybody to set foot tn there since.” “Thank you for telling me, Bacho,” Beulah said in a voice filled with wonder. • • • Tony Miller was panting as he looked down on Slade Considine’s , Unconscious figure—not from exertion but from sudden, violent excitement —the excitement that always came to him with the feeling of power over another human being. . He had hated Slade Considine since he had first come to the , Chupaderps. Hated him because , he was heir to the big 143 ranch; , hated him and savagely envied the good looks and easy charm , that would have made Slade pop- . uiar even if he had been penniless; hated him most ci all bei cause Slade had treated him with amused contempt, as If he thought his tough guy pose was al) bluff. Neither Tony nor Wynn had suffered anything more serious than shallow flesh wounds from Slade’s two hits. But now Tony was glad that Wynn was unconscious. Wynn was a weakling. He wanted Slade dead, but he would never have stood for the way Tony was going to do it... “Not By Guns Alone” reaches a smashing conclusion here next week. Don’t miss the end of .the story.
