Decatur’s community drive takes place this week. Eight charities will share in the drive. The goal is $18,485, just $35 more than last year. Support your community drive. Every day of every year the eight agencies are work- • ing for you. o o For thirteen years Mrs. Eli Goldner of Preble cared for her husband while he lay helpless and bedridden, waiting on him daily. This past week her husband, a retired farmer, passed away after years of pain. Mrs. Goldner’S tireless devotion deserves the praise of the entire community. ——o o No one, Democrat or Republican, will argue with the fact that the next Congress of the United States will be controlled by the Democratic party. The election in normally Republican Maine, in which two Democratic representatives and a Democratic Senator were chosen, and only one Republican returned, indicate this strongly. Therefore, it well behooves us to consider the importance of having a Democratic senator and Congressman. In the next Congress. Democrats will get the key positions, and our representative can be one of these, if we elect Democrats W. Robert Fleming and Vance Hartke. Both men will work hard for

their constituency, including Adams county. o o Some people probably think that it is unpatriotic to read Soviet publications. Actually, a deal of information, much of it unintended for release, can be discovered in close reading of Russian releases. On September 21 Pravda, the main Russian newspaper, published a note by Nikita Krushchev (pronounced so that the first syllable rhymes ■with goose, and accent on the last syllable propounced like “chawff”, krooserchawff) on education. This note in quoting only Krushchev, as do all other recent policy releases, shows clearly that Russian government is again a one-man show. Concerning the subject of the message, education, Krushchev tells the Soviet world that secondary education in their country is on the wrong track, based on pre-revolutionary ideas. He then suggests a, system of higher secondary training based on evening courses while the student works during the day in the factories, mines, or farms. It is a system somewhat similar to our present system, growing in popularity for the past ten years, of extension courses by universities and technical schools. It would be compulsory, however, in Russia.

O ' O 20 Years Today o_ — -— o Oet. 11, 1938 — The Indiana state tax board has made reductions of approximately $25,000 in the Adams county general fund budget for special appropriations. The Junior Arts department of the Decatur Women's club held its annual tea at the home of Miss Patricia Moser. Many Decatur members are attending the Masonic convocation of the Scottish Rite in Fort Wayne. Colorful paintings by Indiana artists, from the Hoosier Art Salon in Chicago, are on display at the Decatur public library, sponsored by the local Tri Kappa sorority. o i o | Household Scrapbook | I By ROBERTA LEE | O O Scorched Linen If linen is scorched while ironing, make a paste of raw starch and water immediately, cover the scorched place with this paste, and place in the sun for about two hours.

My mother died two weeks ago, and my husband’s company is giving a dinner for the employees and their wives next week. Would it be proper for us to attend? A. If this is a “personal pleasure" party, it would hardly be fitting for you to attend. If it is to your husband’s business advantage to be present you should put aside your personal feelings and attend. Q. What is the correct way to address a letter to a friend whose husband has recently passed away? A. The same as always — "Mrs. Frank W. Harris.” Q. Would it be proper to have an awning at the church for an evening wedding? A. An awning is always proper. Trade in a gooa town — Decatur. I

CHAPTER 13 HARD as the men tried, they could not avoid the subject that preoccupied them at the Christmas gathering. “I’m afraid I don’t agree with you that secession eliminates the possibility of war," Tom Dare told Macklyn Campbell “I don’t think it eliminates the possibility, but it seems to me that it lessens it” “The Yankees will find some way of meddling," Ralph Campbell put in. “I’m afraid we have been too optimistic. We’ve forgotten how pigheaded and greedy they are. The South is too valuable for them to give it up without a fight Well, then, we’ll fight, every man-jack of us.” “Yes, they’ll have to be taught their lesson sooner or later,” Tom Dare said, with a pugnacious expression on his face. At this, Colin Campbell could keep silent no longer. “Do I hear you right, sir?” he asked Tom Dare. “I remember a conversation we had not so long ago in which you said it would be a black day for the South if war ever came because the South couldn’t possibly win. How do you reconcile that with ’teaching the North a lesson’?” Tom Darr stared at Colin as if he had lost his senses. "I said such things? I’m afraid you have me confused with one of your mountain friends,” he said with a cold sneer. Jeannie Dare laughed merrily at thia jibe. “Father is always saying the Southerner is five times the man the Northerner is." she said earnestly, turning to Macklyn. “Do you agree with that, Colonel?" Macklyn smiled at this bit of feminine naivete. “I believe he is five times as determined and enthusiastic, at any rate. There are exceptions, of course, like Colin here." Colin felt a deadly rage growhe could give it expression, Betsle said, “I believe CoMn is saving his determination and enthusiasna for the person," she glanced coolly at Jeannie, “or the cause that merits it Colin is not the only Southerner who is opposed to secession, who dreads the prospect of war. You will find, I think," she addressed Macklyn, her husband, “that if you are chosen to go to Richmond you will be in the minority." Colin had regained some of his composure. “Mr. Dare made reference to my mountain friends. They happen to be Virginians as much as we, and they are fine ' people, proud, independent They r have a lot of common sense, even though few of them can read or

write. They don’t give a crooked r cent for the ‘Southern way of t life.’ Forgive my saying so, but » you gentlemen have spent so much time agreeing with each i other that you don’t realize there » are great groups of Southerners j who don't see things your way at all." 5 “1 think in important matters > they will follow thp lead of those of us who can read and write, my » boy,” Ralph Campbell said smug- . ly. “They always have.” 3 When at last the final bit of . plum pudding had been consumed, f Macklyn, Ralph Campbell and . Tom Dare retired to the study . with a bottle of brandy. The young lovers, it was assumed, would want the drawingroom to. t themselves. But. after a separai tion of three weeks, they did not . rush into each other’s arms. Jeannie eyed Colin coldly, i “Why did you contradict Father c during dinner? You were very i rude." . “He contradicted himself. I i merely pointed it out as politely i as I could." r “It seems to me that, if anyi thing, you’ve changed even more 3 since I was away. Colin, we can't r go on like this.” Here she gave him a chance to apologize for his i strange behavior. 1 “No, we can’t And, Jeannie, > Pm convinced that, each of us - being what we are, we’ll never i be able to go on any other way.” Jeannie stared at him openr mouthed. "What do you mean?” j “1 am not your kind of person, • and you are not my kind. We ’ should never have become en- > gaged—we could never be happy i together.” Jeannie stood silent and mo- ’ tionless for a moment, her eyjjb i blazing. Then she drew his ring from her finger and flung it on ■ the carpet Tossing her head, she i ran from the room. Colin did not move. He heard Jeannie ask William the door- , man- to get tjer efoak and sum- ; mon the Dare‘camffgE-’TeiFmy father I had a headache and will send the carriage back for him.” He heard the carriage pull up and heard it leave, taking Jeannie out of his life forever. He , did not move, unwilling to disturb the sensation that pervaded him. It was happiness. • • • Balancing across his saddle bow a wriggling hound puppy, a Christmas gift for the Stewart boys, Colin neared the head of the valley that led to Hobbs Creek. Ten inches of soft snow troubled the stallion Robin not at all, but the puppy whimpered and snuggled close to Colin for warmth. Colin' stroked it gently. Her aona loved does. Au Stew. a-— ... —?z_

CATHOLIC (Continu.d from page one) proud of and to respect its flag.” George Tricker spoke briefly to the students and expressed his appreciation to the student body on the keeping of the school lawn and stated that the Holy Name society was proud to give the flag pole to the Decatur Catholic school. G. Remy Bierly, representing the Fourth Knights, spoke on in America and’ of the opportunity and responsibilities of the students in their i future years. The band played while the students sang the Star Spangled Banner to close the ceremonies. The Decatur Catholic high school coach. Al Lindahl; stated that Baker and Schultz Construction company had donated the base and the walk for the flag pole. The Fourth Degree’ K. of C. donated the flag. More than 300 bodies were bequeathed to medical schools in England and Wales last year for anatomical studies. The state of New Hampshire; provides special seasons for hunting deer with bow and arrow.

I art had said, and they had none ' of their own. Well, they would : have one now. Colin grinned sud- > denly at the thought that Ling i might try to wheedle the puppy » away from his sons so that he i could train it to hunt. With two ’ boys and Ann opposed to him, he hadn’t a chance. ; Entering the Pollard clearing, ■ Colin’s heart quickened, and he ' drew Robin to a halt. He sat in the saddle, taking in the beauty of the scene before him, and ' knew suddenly what he was go- , ing to do. He was going to buy I the Pollard place and live here ’ alone. Life would become more s and more difficult for him at , Quail Wings, he was sure of that. • Here was the answer to his prob- • lem. As he sat thinking, the puppy wriggled free from his grasp and . slid down to the ground. It began • racing in circles, yipping as it ’ went. Colin dismounted hastily. “Here, boy—come on, boy!" But f the puppy refused to give up his ’ sport. There was nothing to do but wait for the little devil to get tired. “Colin!'* There was pleasure : and surprise in the woman’s i voice that called his name from i the direction of the house. ••Why, Ann!" He was about to , ask, “What are you doing here?” i but checked himself. As she ■ walked toward him, he explained, “I was on my way to your house with thia puppy, a Christmas present for the boys, when he , wriggled away and started this i nonsense." “What a wonderful present! Tliey'U be delighted. Merry Christmas, by the way." “Merry Christmas! My day hasn’t been the least bit merry up to now, but just being in the mountains has already improved it There’s something—" Ann interrupted him, "Come inside and warm up. I’ve just built a fire—it only needs to be lit" *T mustn’t leave Rebin standing long nr the Cold, but there’s something I’ve got to talk to you about" She stood aside to let him enter and closed the door against the cold wind. As he walked Into the house, followed by the suddenly docile puppy, it struck Colin forcibly that somehow and at last he was truly In tune with Christmas and all it meant At the same time, he felt curiously that he was an intruder. Ann had a reason for coming here today which excluded him and, evidently, her own family. Colin’s going to find out why Ann makes furtive 'visit® to the vacant Pollard house, as 7 the stars continuM tomorrow.

Dinner Meeting Held By Decatur's FFA Wayne Rothgeb Is Speaker To Group “Don’t underestimate Soviet agriculture,” Wayne Rothgeb, farm director of WKJG-TV told 65 members, former members, advisors, and guests of the Decatur chapter ter of the Future Farmers of America in their last meeting before disbanding. The dinner,; held at the Hobby Ranch House in Fort Wayne, was followed by a series of slides taken by Rothgeb while in Russia this summer. Rothgeb explained that a three-stage milking machine with a rest, has eliminated mastitis in Russian cooperative dairy farms; hat in Siberia fruit trees that grow along the ground like pickle vines have been designed to prevent cold, damage and take advantage of snow few insulation; that mytoanycepsf c-sh,? that many types of cattle similar to popular U. S. breeds are used in Russia under local names; that no fences are used, and livestock herds are kept by lady shepherds. William Journay, vocational agriculture teacher, explained that the FFA chapter at Decatur was nine years old, having been started about December, 1949. by Vaughn Miller, first vo-ag teacher at Decatur high school. Miller and his wife were present for the dinner, and spoke briefly. Recognition was given to all FFA members, past and present,j and to the council of eight adults ■ who helped form group policy. Eawlrence Beckmeyer, chairman of the advisory group since its inIception, spoke briefly, and outlined his faith in agriculture. 1 The four winners of the state ! farmer award from the chapter were introduced, as were all former president. Special guests included W. Guy Brown, superintendent of schools, jand Hugh J. Andrews, principal lof Decatur high school. Trucker Fined Here On Speeding Charge One motorist appeared in justice of the peace court Friday to charges filed against him earlier this | week, charging him with speeding. James L. Rhoades, 23, Bremen, ! arrested Monday by the state poI lice on U.S. 27 approximately five ■ and one half miles north of Decatur for speeding,-was—fined- $16.75 for the offense. Rhoades was charged with driving a truck 55 miles per hour.

CHAPTER 14 |1 WHEN the fire was blazing 1 and they were seated before it Colin Campbell said, “Ann, I - want to buy this house and move < into it as soon as it can be made ' ready." “But Jeannie —” "Jeannie and I are not going ' to be married. I would live here alone. Zack and Nell, whom I ' employ, will take wonderful care ; of me.” “I’m terribly sorry, Colin." "Sorry!" For one very bad 1 moment he thought she was terribly sorry that she couldn’t sell him the house. Then he realized she was referring to his broken engagement He smiled. "I should pull a long face, I know. But you can't imagine how wonderful it feels not to be engaged to a girl you don't love.” “I think 1 can.” Ann Stewart looked into the fire for a moment and then said, “You can buy the house, Colin. We’ll arrange the details later but before we do, I would like to tell you why I am here today and every Christmas day. No, I guess I’ll have to go further back. Can you bear to hear the story of my life?” “I have been anxious to hear it since I first came to Hobbs Creek." “My father had this house built when my brother and I were small children. He was tired of the family business in Baltimore and wanted to lead a more quiet life, with time to study and write. He and my mother loved the mountains —anyway, we came here. “We were wonderfully happy. My brother and 1 hated going away to -chool and longed for the Christmas holiday even before the school year began. It was during my second year at school, when I was fifteen—” Ann’s voice quavered and broke off- She paused, not to collect her thoughts this time, but to get her emotions under control. “On Christmas day, when I was fifteen and my brother seventeen, some —Cherokees —came - -raiding while we were still asleep, in bed. My brother was inexperienced and reckless. He made an easy target from behind a window and Boon he was wounded tn the chest. He died within a few minutes but not before my mother, in tending him, had been killed outright My father held off the Cherokees singlehanded for thirty minutes before one of the servants sneaked away from the quarters out back and brought help from Hobbs Creek.” “Why didn’t the servants come to help you themselves?” His own voice sounded muffled to Cftlm. His/ongu<a was thick with rage and hbrror. “They were unarmed. B would

have been suicide for them to try to approach the house.” "Did you see the whole thing?” “Blessedly, no. My father ordered a housemaid to keep me out of gun range. And sometimes when I pass this house now, I hear the Cherokees yelling and see my mother and brother lying dead in their bloody nightclothes, and again I live everything I lived that Christmas day. Other times it’s as though that day had never happened, as though they’re still here. Can you understand that?" “Yes, I can, Ann.” “Yes, I can read it in your eyes. Why does no one else ever know?” “Because few love as deeply as you. Do you want to tell me what happened after that, Ann?” “Yes," she answered calmly. “It was a black time, a lost time. Overnight, it seemed, my father’s mind deserted him. He turned from a vigorous, youthful and highly Intelligent person into a wordless, helpless old man. He had loved his books, his family and his home. He cared little for anything else. He had always received a generous income from the family business and left the management of it in my uncle’s hands. I sent a letter to Uncle Nat, telling him of the raid. He came at once and—” “Go on,” Colin urged. Unnoticing, he had put his hand on hers in an unconscious gesture of sustenance. “Father did not even recognize him. He wanted me to leave with him at once, but I wouldn’t leave Father. He promised to send for both of us—but he never did. No more money came from Baltimore. We had to let the servants go; we couldn't feed them, let alone pay them. Father and I would have starved if It hadn’t been for Ling. He watched over us, did everything for us that we couldn’t do for ourselves. He was wonderful.” “I know," and now Colin knew also why Ann had married Ling. “Whent-'-T- was- eighteen, Ling and I were married. Os course, I had told him I could never leave Father. He knew that. Father had been growing worse staying in this house —too many memories for him —and Ling wouldn’t have stayed here, anyway. So for seven years now this house has been empty. I am glad it will be lived in again." She smiled at him. "I hope you will be happy here if you still want to buy the house after what I have told you today.” “From the moment I saw this house, I’ve wanted to live here. I felt I knew the man who had built it—l knew what kind cf life he wanted to lead here. The house is haunted for me only by

the happy family that once lived here, and they will be pleasant company." Ann smiled. "Thank you, Colin. We were pleasant company, 1 think." "Ann, before we talk about the house further, I want to appoint myself your lawyer. Now that you’ve attained your majority and might press a case in court, have you given any thought to collecting your father’s share of the family business?” “Yes, but Ling doesn’t believe in courts. His going to Denbury court was a gesture of defiance, not compliance. If he thought we needed any of Uncle Nat’s money, he’d go find him tn Balti- , more and take it by force.” “Direct and to the point,” Colin murmured, “but hardly practical. If you would like to start legal ! proceedings, I’d be glad to do it I for you.” “I'd rather you didn’t, Colin. I t shouldn’t care to do anything un- , less Ling approved.” “I understand. Now will you . grant me a favor?” "Os course." , "Come to this house and visit ' with your mother and brother i whenever you want.” , “Thank you very much, Colin.” J It was an evasion, and he wondered why. “Your favor, Ann?" . “Yes—yes—l will come whenever I want,” she said in some confusion. “Shall we go now to , Ling and the children? Ling will ' be so excited to hear you are buy- , ing the house and the children will be wild about the puppy. > Ling will talk to you about the . sale.
