A large piaque was handed to him. Four people took part in me presentation —Herman H. Krueckeberg, council vice-president, and representatives of exploring, scouting, and cubbing. The latter was Bill. Mr. Rydell was honored because in his three years of scout leadership the number of active district committee members has increased from seven to 80; because he has built a strong explorer program in the district; for his faithful attendance at executive board meetings, regional meetings, and national meetings; and for positive leadership in increasing the number of troops, packs, and posts in the district each year. He is just one of a number of dads who have contributed outstanding service, not only to their own children, but to those of the entire community. Decatur is proud of them all, and especially of Mr. Rydell who has terminated three years of hard work as south district leader.

No territory seeking admission as a state has never more completely fulfilled the requirements of statehood, including those of paying costs and meeting obligations, than Hawaii. Admission of Hawaii as a state will do more to kill the effectiveness of Communist propaganda concerning American intolerance of nonCaucasian races than any other measure we can adopt. Arguments that Hawaii should not be admitted because it is not a part of the continental Uriited States are ridiculous; neither was California, Washington, or Oregon when they were admitted, and neither is Alaska today. Another false story, that we would be bound closer to defend it, is likewise foolish—it was the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that touched off the Second World War. Actually, there are only two things keeping Hawaii out of the Union: prejudice based upon ra-

cial hatred, and the fact that Hawaii has always been Republican. Neither of these* are valid arguments against admission. After all, Alaska is generally a Democratic state, and its admission was supported by members from both parties. Hawaii should be admitted as the 50th state during the next session of Congress. This would prove the stature of the Northern Democrats who will, with the Republicans, easily control the Congress on this question, and other civil rights measures. o •►— Pleasant Mills Lions reported that between 150 and 200 persons were served at their pancake and sausage supper at the Pleasant Mills school just before the Wren game Saturday night. The dinner must have inspired the team, which won their first victory of the season after several close games.

Four-Year-Old Boy Is Dead Os Burns Electric Toy Train Is Short-Circuited INDIANAPOLIS (DPI) — Four-year-old Mark idele died in Methodist Hospital late Monday night of burns and smoke inhalation as the result of a fire set off in his home when an electric toy train shortcircuited.. The boy was rescued by Firemen hours earlier from his flaming home while his mother was forcibly restrained from da'shing back into the house. Mark was hiding under his bed when firemen plunged into the flame-engulfed home. Authorities said he was playing with his train when the transformer apparently 5,h or t-circuited, causing a fire that spread quickly to draperies, slipcovers and a rug. Mrs. Margaret Idele said she fled from her home with her two-year-old daughter, Bonnie, thinking Mark was right behind her. Mrs. Idele and Bonnie were treated for burns. Damage to the house was estimated at $15,000.

CHAPTER 13 "IS THIS a proposal, Harry?” 1 asked Elizabeth Rettig. “Well, a long range one,” said Lieutenant Butler. “1 never do anything in a hurry.” He laughed briefly. "Finley Burkhauser would say that that was my greatest fault.” "Then we come right back to my nephew, Tom, don’t we?” "Yes,” Butler said. "Elizabeth, try to see this my way. If the boy nad been decently raised, a gentleman, there would be no problem at all, but he’s as wild as a buffalo and as mean as a gored bull. I know that sounds cold and brutal but it’s the truth, and you have to face it." "Perhaps I have, more than you think, Harry.” She scraped back her chair and went to the open doorway to stand. “You think the army would be the best place for him, then?” "There’s no doubt of it,” Butler said. “Os course it’s a hard school, but he’ll be disciplined properly, by men who know what they are doing, men who can teach him.” The thought made her slightly angry. “Harry, why don’t we just put him in jail until he grows up?” “Now you’re being unreasonable,” Harry Butler said. "Am I?” She turned and faced him. "Harry, his father ducked every major redp sibility that came his way. Wh something went wrong, or he di< wrong, he always found a dozen things to blame for It. Os course the boy's like that; he's copied his father all his life. Well, I’ve got to change that, Harry. Change it while there is time, before it’s too late to make him see what has to be done. We’ve changed, too, haven't we ? I mean, Paul’s dying changed it, didn't it?” "Yas. Naturally it would.” He spread his hands in an appeal. "Elizabeth, the two girls I’ll overlook, but the boy—” "Overlook? Harry, what do you think they are, dust swept under the carpet?” “Now I didn’t mean it that, way and you know it!” He bit his lip. "I’m sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice." He got up from the table and came over to her, putting his arm lightly around her. "Elizabeth, let’s reach for each other, not pull apart like'this. I want to marry you. and you know that. And that’s serious enough without the added obligation of children." "The children are there, Harry! You can’t ignore that.” "Indeed I can’t. Elizabeth do you love me?" “I don’t know. I like you, Harry. Admire you, but I don’t know If it’s love. It would have to be, wouldn’t it, to wear well?” "Yes, It would." She took him by the arm and turned him so that the lamplight fell on his fate, making pools of brightness in his eyes. "Harry,

Belgian Explorers Returned To Base Lost Explorers- Are Rescued By Russian LONDON (UPIi — Four Belgian explorers lost in the Antarctic since Thursday were flown back to their base early today by' a Russian pilot in a rescue that cut across East-West differences. Moscow Radio said in a broadcast heard here that the Belgians were well and apparently none the worse for their experience of being stranded at the bottom of the world. They were delivered to the Belgian King Baudouin base by Soviet Polar Pilot Viktor Perov, who spotted them in the crystal ice mountains 130 miles from the King Baudouin base. The four Belgians were expedition leader Gaston de Geriache,

If this was Baltimore, would you have given me a second glance?” He stared at her. "What kind of a question is that?” * “No, answer me now. If this were Baltimore, and women I weren't scarce, would you have looked at me twice?” “Elizabeth, you’re a striking * woman. Why, I —" “Thank you, Harry,” She spoke , softly. "I believe you’ve answered i me.” "Now wait a minute! What the ( devil do you want me to say? i You tell me and I’ll say it.” She looked steadily at , him. "What is there to say? I’d better go now.” "Please, Elizabeth.” He put out his arm to stop her; he seemed genuinely distressed. "Harry, I don’t think we want the same things. Funny, but I never suspected that at all until now.” “Then what is it you want? Tell me, talk to me, Elizabeth.” “Will it do any good?” "Yes, it always does.” He took her arm and led her back to the chair. "Please, sit down. Let’s talk it out." There was a little coffee left and she refilled her cup, adding sugar and stirring listlessly. “I've been asking myself why I came along when Paul made this last move. The children, 1 said, and I believed it, just the way Paul always believed the little lies he told himself to make the truth less bitter.” She raised her cup briefly. "Harry, have you ever felt that you were out of step with Ute?” He frowned. “I don’t know. You mean dissatisfied?" "No, I mean, that things either moved too fast or too slow.” He nodded. “Yes, they seem to move too fast for me most of the time. The world could stand a little slowing down.” “Not for me,” Elizabeth said.’ “Harry, out here I’m right in step. The noisier, the faster the better. Make sense ?” "Did you tell Finley Burkhauser this?” ... She shook her head. "I don’t think I had to. He knew wherf I told Him I was going back to Mustang Creek.” She smiled. "I thought I’d build where you said the cottonwoods grew, where the cattle cross.” ' "Elizabeth, stay here, or go •back East Don't go back to the creek where all you'll get is trouble from a lot of uncouth TexanSf This country’s hard enough on a man, Elizabeth; it can be brutal on a woman.” "I’m not afraid, Harry.” "No, I didn’t think you were.” "As soon as Bat Masterson gets back, I’m leaving Camp Supply," she said. “Will you stop at Mustang Creek and see me?" “Yes, and perhaps we’ll be able to talk things out then.” “It will be something to think about. Good night. Hairy."

Prince Antoine de Ligne, Jacques Loddys and Charles Huishagen. Their plane crash-landed in some of the wildest country in* the world. Russian polar exploration crews based at the Soviet Mirny establishment stayed true to the code of the snowy wastes and immediately volunteered help when the Belgians were reported missing last Thursday. The rescue came just in time. The Belgians’ emergency food supply was sufficient to last until Dec. 22, but they already had started carefully rationing it. Perov, chief pilot attached to a Soviet expedition in the Antarctic, found them after several unsuccessful sweeps over the area. He had almost given up hope when he made out a small tent in the snow. He flew low overhead and four men garbed in parkas waved wildly. It was the Belgians. | Perov picked them up and delivered them back to their base | three hours later.

He went to the door with her, then stood there while she walked across the dark parade. Carefully he put a match to a cigar, and in the light, his expression seemed grave and thoughtful, as though he had lost something and was not yet certain whether it was valuable or not. • • • Tom Rettig returned with the cavalry patrol and was strapped for being disobedient, but he took the punishment with an Indian's stoicism, not uttering one outcry. Afterward Elizabeth was sorry, but the deed was done and she could not take it back. She suspected that Tom took a great deal of pride in weathering the strapping so well. Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett returned to Camp Supply on the tenth day, the wagon piled high with buffalo hides. Masterson sought out Mobeetie Jake's adobe as soon as the horses were stabled. Elizabeth answered the door and Masterson stood there, grinning. He needed a shave and a bath. Elizabeth backed away a pace to minimize his gaminess. Hat in hand, Masterson said, ‘‘We contacted Burkhauser’s detail that went on to Adobe Walls. Your brother never got there. They found the horses, what was left of ’em." “Well,” she said softly, “it’s final, then. We know for sure.” “I’m sure sorry. Elizabeth.” He stood there, watching her, as though expecting her to cry, and when she did not, he seemed puzzled. “Well," he said. “Knowing tot sure, I guess the boy'll feel different about it, huh?” “He still blames you," she said. “I’m sorry if this means trouble, but Major Collins wants to hear your side of the story. He heard Tom’s when Finley Burkhauser made his report." “What did he go and do that for?” Masterson asked. “Oh, well, Burkhauser knows me. He can speak to the major on my behalf." “Finley, isn’t here,” Elizabeth said quickly. “He resigned his commission and went to Tascosa to join the Texas Rangers.” “Augh!” Bat Masterson said, scratching his head. “I don’t like that This Collins is a greenhorn. You know what happened and so does Burkhauser. But will Collins understand ?’’ “He’ll believe you,” Elizabeth said. “He as much as said so. Bat, this a formality.” He cocked an eyebrow. “Elizabeth, I’ve worked for* the army, and menTiave been shot on formalities.” What can Bat Masterson say when Elizabeth tells him, ”1 like you and want yon for a friend, but It’s got to end there?” Continue the story tomorrow. ■ - . -

All proceeds from the annual Christmas seal sale are used In the fight on tuberculosis and to provide clinics and otherwise carry on the fight against the “white plague.” Liberal Democrats Seek Rule Changes Proposing Changes In Rules Os House WASHINGTON (UPD — Liberal Democrats in the House put it squarely up to Speaker Sam Rayburn today to support their proposed change in House rules. Otherwise they said much of the legislation to which the Democratic Party is pledged probably can’t be enacted by the 86th Congress. They denied they were in revolt against the House leadership. They pledged their whole-hearted support and admiration for Rayburn and House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack <Mass.). Without the speaker’s support, liberal spokesmen said. they haven’t a chance to put across the curb they seek on broad existing authority of the conservative House Rules Committee. They said that as a group they probably won’t even try unless the speaker gives his assent. However, some individuals among the 100 or so members for who’m the group claimed to sptrak said they will make the pitch anyway, first in the Democratic caucus and then in the House, on opening day of the new Congress. Drafting Messages Group Jeaders, including Rep. Frank Thompson Jr., (N.J.), were drafting messages for Rayburn and McCormack today outlining the liberal contentions and suggesting conferences with the two leaders sometime before Jan. 7, the first day of the session. At a closed meeting Monday attended by about 20 of the group plus their aides agreement was reached on three proposals to assure that conservatives on the rules committee could not block liberal legislation on such subjects as slum clearance, civil rights, and school aid. If approved by the House, the proposals would: —Change the party ratio on the rules group from eight Democrats and lour Republicans to nine Democrats and three Republicans, with the expectation that Rayburn would appoint a liberal to the extra Democratic post and thus thwart a conservative coalition that frequently has ruled the comittee. Increase Committee Batios —Restore the so-called 21-day rule that was in effect during the 81st Congress, limiting to three weeks the period in which bills approved by legislative committees can be halted in the rules committee en route to the House floor. Now the committee sometimes can hold bills indefinitely. —lncrease the Democratic-Re-publican ratio on all House committees to reflect the 283 to 153 margin the Democrats will hold over Republicans in the House in the new Congress as a result of the election on Nov. 4. A liberal-conservative fight also is in store for the Senate on opening day of the new Congress. The liberals there seek to impose new control on the filibuster, tradition al weapon of the Senate’s Dixie bloc against civil rights legisla-
