Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m. in Berne a little girl rode her bicycle off the sidewalk and into the side of a car which had the right of way. She received a severe bump on the head, was unconscious for a while, but appears to be all right now. At 4:45 p.m. Tuesday in Van Wert, 0., an 11-year-old boy suffered a broken leg in a collision with an automobile in that city. On Sunday a fatal accident occurred in this county to a 12-year-old boy on a motor scooter. Society is not fulfilling its obligation to teach safety and good habits to youngsters. These may seertf like minor offenses, but they are not. The driving habits developed as bicycle riders obviously carry over when, as young men and women, they drive automobiles. Let’s get our youngsters off to a good, safe start. Make certain that the young people you love know and practice good safety rules. It may be too late to teach them if you wait any longer. _._h o o>— Several hundred Adams county people have met and the new superintendent of public * instruction for the state of. Indi- < ana, William E. Wilson. Wilson visited Decatur the night of the Halloween parade, and met hundreds of people on the street and ?~at the Lincoln PTA program at ’ the Decatur high school. While not speaking officially, of course, it is understood that superintendents over the entire state, both Republicans and Democrats, are secretly relieved that Wilson has replaced the voluble, dictatorial Wilbur Young whose running feud I yith the Indiana State Teachers Association has prevented useful school legislation for a number of years.

The Chicago board of trade is asking farmers to vote for proposal one on Nov. 25, the date of the corn referendum. Since this body would necessarily prefer a lower price for farmers, that is understandable. What is not understandable is that a number of farmers will actually vote as directed by groups which set the low farm prices in the first place. o o— — Remember that during the campaign this newspaper pointed out time and again that the polls from Evansville should be taken with a grain of salt since both newspapers there bitterly opposed the Democratic candidate? All the polls there showed Handley leading Hartke. Well, Hartke carried the city by twice as many Votes as he won th- :e in the mayoralty election three years ago. —o o— Judge Lloyd S. Hartzler, Republican of Allen county, has given the following three reasons for the resounding Republican defeat in Indiana this past election: (1) Too much Handley; (2) lack of a constructive campaign on county and state levels; (3) wrong approach by the party on the subject of “ReutheHsm”. Hartzler added that Handley's “horsewhipping” of delegates at the past state convention was a prime factor in his defeat, and that the party should return to free conventions. ——io o What ever happened to the community fund drive in Decatur? Portland went over their quota by 50%, raising more than $40,000. Bluffton and Berne went over theirs, as did most neighboring commqnities. Have you made your donation?

20 Years Ago Today o 0 Nov. 14, 1938—Official tabulation of votes from 80 Indiana counties and telephone reports from clerks of the other 12 in the state show Judge Huber M. DeVoss, of Decatur, won election for judge of the state appellate court by a margin of 1,443 votes. The Adams county council, with six Democrats and one Republican, will hold its annual organizational meeting Saturday. . Mr. and Mrs. Roger Swaim and daughters Janet and Doris, of Bluffton, visited friends and relatives in Decatur Sunday. The Adams county Teens and Twenties club held its first meeting of the year. An automobile owned by Dr. Palmer Eicher, Decatur, stoleii here Saturday afternoon, was recovered Sunday afternoon near Willshire, O. Red Cross Appeals For Volunteer Help A plea for volunteer workers and staff aides was issued today by the Adams county chapter of the American Red Cross, Mrs. Wanda Oelberg, executive secretary, said today. Persons wishing to volunteer as canteen workers or as staff aides are asked to contact the Red Cross office as soon as possible. Mrs. Oelberg stated that a two hour orientation class would be formed for instruction purposes when the registration is completed. It was also statI ed that typists are needed by the Red Cross for staff aides. This, Mrs. Oelberg continued, would be helpful but not a major factor in acceptance of the workers selected. All persons registering will be notified when the orientation classes will begin. The Red Cross office stated today that Mrs. Oelberg has attended two classes this week for executive secretaries —for—disasetr in Fort Wayne. Mrs. Robert Johnson and Mrs. Arthur Miller attended nursing service classes in Columbia City, and Dr. Harold F. Zwick attended medical disaster classes in Fort Wayne last night.

CHAPTER 35 COLIN and Macklyn Campbell, and Watt Sackett and Tracey Hamlin marched through the clearing to Quail Wings. They started up the drive and met a man and a boy driving a team of mules. With a start, Colin recognized the same blocky, beefy Ned Hale who had once appeared before him in Denbury court. Now Hale affected an easy familiarity which he wouldn’t have dared assume before the war. "Howdy, Macklyn. You home to stay?” "Yes. How are things going?” "We’ll make a crop,” Ned said expansively. “We’ll make a crop an' there’ll be somethin' in it for both of us.” He nodded at Colin. “Howdy, Y’r Honor.” “Hello, Ned.” They went on toward the house which was sadly in need of paint and had rough lumber nailed over broken windows. Colin asked his brother, i "What’s Ned Hale doing here?” “He and his son have been working the place on shares while I was away,” Macklyn spoke as though this were the most natural and the only natural explanation. The war had indeed wrought changes; there had been a time when Macklyn wouldn’t even have spoken to Ned Hale. Then they were at the door and Colin held Watt and Tracey back so Macklyn could enter alone. There was a tense silence and then “Macklyn!” It was a cry wrenched from the heart, and they heard a woman's sobbing and then the quiet voices of Macklyn and his wife, Betsie. Presently Macklyn returned to the door and said happily, "Welcome to Quail Wings!” Colin, Watt and Tracey were admitted to the drawingroom. It now held a seven-foot wuoden partition that lacked more than a dozen feet of reaching the ceiling. Within the enclosure were a small cooking range, a wooden table and a few chairs that formerly had been used by the slaves, and a wooden cabinet for dishes. Nailed to the wall was a board with hooks spaced at intervals and from the Ijooks hyng skillets and kettles. Through the doorless aperture at one side was revealed the lower half of a neatly made bed. By glancing over the partition, Colin saw that the exquisite chandeliers and candelabra were missing. Probably they had been carried off by the Yankees. Although there had been a drastic change in Quail Wings, the only difference In Betsie was that wrought by passing years. There were more lines in her face than Colin remembered, and the hands that had always been so carefully kept were hard and calloused. She wore a simple dark dress that covered her from neck to ankles, and her greying hair

Reports Three Shots Fired At Farm Home One Bullet Found Lodged In Porch A farmer from near Berne reported to the sheriff's department that someone fired three shots at his home Tuesday evening at approximately 9 o’clock. The incident was reported to the department the following day when one of the bullets was found lodged in the front porch. Melvin Schwartz, of route one, Berne, reported the incident. The sheriff’s department stated that a bullet believed to be from a .38 caliber pistol was found at the scene lodged in the "front porch. Further investigation found that a nearby farmer who was working across the road from the Schwartz farm, had seen an automobile, stop in front of the home when the shots were fired

was bound at the nape of her neck. But the smile on her lips and the happiness in her eyes more than atoned for coarse clothing and lines etched by work and worry. “Colin!” she rushed forward and kissed him. Colin hugged her warmly. "Oh 1 , Betsie, you can’t imagine how wonderful it is to see you!” "I am starved for the sight of you, too,” she said laughing. Colin recalled her to Watt and Tracey, whom she had met at the housewarming at Campbell Hill four years ago. “Messrs. Sackett and Hamlin, do you remember my brother’s wife, Mrs. Macklyn Campbell ?’’ Watt and Tracey murmured subdued acknowledgement. Thefi Betsie thawed them and won their hearts by going forward and taking each by the hand. “You’re most welcome here, Mr. Sackett and Mr. Hamlin.” “Thankee, ma’am,” Tracey murmured. "Name's Tracey.” “And call me Watt,” Watt Sackett said. Colin was charmed, but he could not rid himself of a feeling that the scene before him was not taking place at all. Betsie was offering a masquerade and all the guests were to come as soldiers who had just finished fighting a desperate war. The drawingroom was altered to conform to the motif of the party and was not really a place where Betsie worked in a makeshift kitchen and slept in a bed just outside it. She turned to Colin and laughed. “We’ll accommodate you most elegantly; In the drawingroorfi and three of the bedrooms are the only ceilings that don't leak when it rains.” Colin grinned. “At least there is a roof.” “The Yankees took so much," she explained, and there was little trace of rancor or bitterness in her voice. “They even found the silver we buried and took that. They would have taken the house itself If there had been away to do it.” Colin said, “If the Yankees haven’t raided. Hobbs Creek.. j/Jl have silver to spare for you.” — “You angel!” Macklyn said, "These valianf warriors are hungry, mv dear. Does Quail Wings still have a larder?” “Oh mercy me! I'm a thoughtless hostess!” ' Betsie lifted a stove lid, poked the grey ashes, built the fire up, and began to mix a johnnycake. Colin watched. Betsie would hardly have known how to boil an egg four years ago, and Watt Sackett and Tracey Hamlin would not have been guests at Quail Wings In those days. But now that the blindfold was gone from Colin's eyes, he saw very clearly. These people, the planters, had'

He also stated that he saw three men stand beside the auto when the incident occurred. Sheriff Affolder found one bullet Thursday while conducting his invocation. The remaining tws outlets could not be found at the scene by the investigating officers. The investigation will continue until the men are found, the department stated Thurs<tey. Mrs. Anna Schwartz Dies Unexpectedly Mrs. Jacob D. (Anna) Schwartz, 40, died unexpectedly at her home southeast pf Monroe at 10:15 a.m. Thursday. Surviving in addition to the husband are a son, Joe U. Schwartz, a daughter, Laura Schwartz, at home, and three brothers. Mrs. Schwartz was a member of the <pld Order Amish church. Services will be conducted at the residence, Levi H. Schwartz officiating. Burial will be in the Schwartz cemetery, three miles north of Berne.

built their wealth on a foundation of hard work, applied intelligence and vision. Now, in extreme adversity, they remained exactly as they had been. They would build again. Watt and Tracey tilted their chairs against the wall and sniffed hungrily as Betsie began to brown pork chops in a skillet. Colin stirred uneasily; Quail Wings still had a larder but it couldn’t possibly be an extensive one. Macklyn, who had been on a tour of the house, ducked back through the aperture and s<.a calmly, "They were rather thorough.” “Did tb.sjr take everything?” Colin asked. "Everything they could carry.” Colin made no comment. When he had moved to Campbell Hill, one coveted treasure, his mother’s portrait, had remained at Quail Wings. He had never mentioned his desire to have it because he had known his father would never part with it. Now it was gone. Betsie said, "Dinner is ready.” The table was set with coarse dishes and cutlery, the best at Quail Wings. Colin still had the curious feeling that this was a masquerade. Then he knew. The table and tableware were rude and the food common, but whereever Macklyn and Betsie might be. there would also be warm hospitality. If they lived in a bam, their guests would still be graciously received. Colin ate sparingly; he knew, there couldn’t possibly be a great reserve of food, but it seemed to him that he relished this simple fare far more than any of the banquets which he had eaten in this house. Watt and Tracey were hungry and ate rapidly. Colin saw in Betsie’s eyes the delight that any good cook feels when her efforts are appreciated. Tracey grabbed the last bit of johnnycake to mop up his plate. Colin finished and said happily, "That’s the finest meal I’ve eaten in a long while, Betsie." “You didn’t eat much.” "Plenty, I assure you.” "You will stay the night?” Ma*ck lyn asked, —- - • "I'd like to get up to Hobbs Creek tonight” Colin said. But now that seeing Ann Stewart was possible, not a remote dreamlike hope, he felt hesitant Ann’s dead husband, Ling, came between, them as he had not when he was alive. And Ann might blame him. as he often blamed himself, for Ling’s death. If he could simply go and take her in his arms — but that moment might never come now ... ♦ Colin hasn't heard the last from Ling yet . . . Continue “The Land is Bright” to its startling, memorable conclusion tomorrow.

Nov. 20 Deadline On Overseas Mail Urge Early Mailing For Armed Forces Postmaster Leo Kirsch announced today that the period between November 1 and November 20, was designated for, the mailing of Christmas parcels, Christmas cards and letters to members of Armed Forces overseas. The postmaster explained, that the term “Armed Forces Overseas” includes personnel of the Armed Forces, members of their families, and authorized United States civilians employed overseas who receive their mail through an APO number. Those who are planning to send Christmas gifts in addition to Christmas cards and letters should check at the post office regarding size and weight limitations and best methods of packing gifts for overseas delivery. The postmaster pointed out that boxes should contain sufficient cushioning material so that the contents will be tightly packed to prevent any rattling or loosening of articles within the package. Unless completely packed and tightly filled, the boxes are likely t 6 be crushed. A slip showing list of contents and addressee should be enclosed in every box or package. To certain APO's and NPO’s a customs declaration on form 2966 or 2976-A must be completed by the sender. There are some prohibitive articles that cannot be sent overseas, including matches and lighter Ifluid. Cigarettes, other tobacco products and coffee are prohibited in parcels addressed to certain military post offices. “It's a good idea to check with the post office before purchasing or packing any overseas gifts.” Domestic rates of postage are applicable, and all postage must be fully prepaid. Parcel post rates take the zone rate from the post office where mailed to the post office through which the parcel is addressed. Air mail weighing not to exceed 8 ounces is chargeable at the rate of 7 cents per ounce, and articles weighing over 8 ounces are chargeable at the rate of 80 cents a pound. "Be sure your addresses are legible and complete, and they should
