Skip Election Should the 1959 Indiana general assembly pass a skip-election law to place the election of city and town mayors and councilmen on the ballot during regular election years? This question has been highly discussed in the last few days. Both of the wire services, UPI and AP, have implied that there is something wrong with a skip election. In 1933 it was suggested that city elections be moved to the same year as regular county, township, and state elections. This was then done to save money during the depression. In 1945 the Re-publican-controlled legislature voted to keep the mayors in office another year, and move them into the off-year again, at considerable cost to the taxpayers. The small number of Democrats in the state house and senate were unable to prevent it. So now city elections are held during off-years. Some argue that a city contestTas no relation to a state and national contest. Yet it certainly has-as much relation to them as the township election, or the county ejection. At the present time the city budget for 1959 allocates $4,600 for the city election—to print ballots, pay for judges, clerks, sheriffs, etc., in 12 precincts, etc. This means a 5 cent levy on the city tax rate. Berne and Monroe will have similar, but smaller, costs. Geneva has even allowed $125 for the election next year. In this county the fact that the Democrats now control the cities and councils has little effect on the issue. They usually do control the cities and towns of this county, and will control them just as much in 1960 as in 1959, unless the overwhelming popularity of Republican candidates at that time carries over on the city ticket as it has often done on the county ticket and state ticket. In fact, the Republicans would probably gain more by a skip-election in Adams county than the Democrats. Only personal, intra-party opposition to particular candidates would influence someone here to oppose a tax-cutting skip-election law. The local city administration and city councilhas not even discussed the matter. Probably feel that since they were elected for four years, they should serve that four years, and then stand election again. But the truth of the matter is, the state as a whole would be better off if all the elections were held during the regular election years. Think of the money that would be saved! In Evansville alone, $75,000 would be saved; in Decatur, $4,600.

Linda Christian To Return To Movies Plans First Movie In Over 3 Years By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Linda Christian, lynx-eyed and as sultry as Mississippi in August, will make her first movie in more than three years next month in the sensuous role of a voodoo femme fatale. Linda is the last girl in the world to deny it’s type-casting. The red-haired beauty, who greeted me draped only in a brief white towel, is foot-loose and ready to pick up the threads of her career — but not because she needs the money. “Finances aren’t the reason why I’m returning to work,” she purred. “Many people work because they want to keep busy. I’m sure Elizabeth Taylor doesn’t have to make movies for a living. I am the same way. A career is stimulating for a girl.” Mentioning Liz's name brought a note of sadness to the Shapely actress. May Settle In Mexico “Every?*;,; time I drive by my house — the one Ty and I bought —I thinjc I would like to move back in.” she sighed. “Liz lives there now. “But I’ve decided against settling in Hollywood. I think I will have the house duplicated in Mexico City where life is less placid for my restless nature. When I did live here I never got out of the house. "My globe-trotting days are over, too. I think. I've done enough traveling to satisfy three lifetimes. “And I have no particular boyfriend right now. I don't feel my life is bereft of anything without a map. What has happened in the past is over with. I'm looking toward a big career.” Linda slipped into a green satin robe and walked to another room

CHAPTER 14 MAJOR Philmore T. Collins set the hearing for two o’clock, and sent an orderly around to make sure that the principals were present Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett were there, seated against the east wall, both displease! / they had every right to be. They were men who made their living on the frontier, conducted their business free and easy on their reputations, and now a small boy was trying to put a dent in it. Young Tom Rettig sat alone. Elizabeth Rettig glanced his way, then saw the man sitting behind him. He was a young man, in his early thirties, slender, mustached, neatly dressed. His glance touched Elizabeth almost impersonally, yet contained a reserved friendliness. Then Major Collins cleared his throat and read Lieutenant Finley Burkhauser’s report. When he finished reading, the mild-eyed man sitting behind Tom Rettig stood up and asked, “Major, is this a trial?” “No, it isn’t," Colins said. “Who the devil pre you?" “My name is Earp, Wyatt Earp. I’ve come to speak in Mr. Masterson’s behalf. If sueh a thing becomes necessary." “Please understand,” Collins said, “that if an error in judgment was made on behalf of the deceased, it is not punishable." “Then what is the purpose of this hearing, Major?” “I think that’s obvious, sir." “Perhaps it is," Earp said. “You stated that Mr. Masterson’s decision to remain with the family and not search for the man is not punishable, even If his judgment was at fault Then I must conclude, Major, that the purpose of this hearing is to place a cloud on a man's reputation, or to manufacture a cloud so that you can remove it.” "Mr. Earp,” Collins said, “you seem concerned with the technical details of this hearing. 1 wish to clarify the facts in the boy’s mind, not place a cloud over Mr. Masterson or Mr. Garrett, as you so put it.” “That's tine,” Earp said. "A man’s reputation is important out here, Major, especially when he pursues the career of army scout or peace officer. Public trust Is usually placed with men of clearcut reputation." “I’m quite aware of that,” Collins said, showing an edge of impatience. “Can we continue? Good- The facts seem clearly established: the storm wks well advanced in intensity by the time Mr. Masterson and Mr. Garrett returned to Mustang Creek, therefore ft was impossible tor them to journey on the open prairie.” He made a notation on Finley Burkhauser's report "Officially, we can consider this matter closed." "Closed ?’’ Tom Rettig asked. "Ain’t you goin’ to do anythin’ to them two?” There is nothing to do,’* Major Collins said, his voice sympa-

of the home where she is staying as a guest. Bewitching is the word for the Mgxican-born temptress. Her every movement is feline and feminine. Her role in “Witchcraft” won’t take much acting on her part. She will more than fill the bill by simply playing herself Has Mixed Accent It’s no wonder millionaires and playboys on three continents have fallen all over themsevles winning her favor. , Her accent —a mixture of German, French, Spanish and Italian —adds to Linda's alure. Frequently in conversation she throws ini; a word from one or another of , the languages. , “I never spoke any one lan- . guage long enough to lose my ac-|, cent,” she giggled. “But no one’ has raised any objections about • tfyq way I talk, t f .. , , ' f' 1 • ,4 ,■ .

thetic. "Son, your father waa beyond help. I’m sorry, but that’s the truth.” The boy looked as though he was going to' burst into tears; then he suddenly whipped out a knife and sprang from his chair toward Bat Masterson. The move was so sudden, so unexpected, that Masterson could only throw up his hands in a feeble defense. It was a needless defense, tor Wyatt Earp’s foot darted out, tripping the boy. Tom fell asprawl, knife clattering on the bare wood floor. Then Earp stooped and picked it up, handing it back to Him. "You ought to be more careful with a thing like that, sonny.” Young Rettig looked at him, his eyes as expressionless as polished slate. Major Collins said, "Miss Rettig, get your nephew out of here. You may leave the post anytime." ‘Thank you,” Elizabeth said. She took Tom by the arm and pulled him to his feet. When he tried to jerk away, she released him and slapped him resoundingly across the face. “Your mouth has caused enough trouble! Now you keep it closed!” Masterson opened the door and Elizabeth hustled Tom out ahead of her. As soon as she was clear of the office, Elizabeth took the boy by the ear and hauled him about ungently. “Now you get over to the wagon and stay there, you hear?” “Yes'm.” He ran off as soon as she released him. Wyatt Earp came up, hat in hand. "I’m sorry about your brother, ma’am. But sorrier for the boy. This country is hard on a man who can’t face the truth." "How can 1 get the boy to do that, Mr. Earp?” "Well," Earp said, “one of these days he's going to find himself in a position where he can't deny it. It’s going to cure him or kill him. Good day to you." He smiled and nodded, then flicked a glance at Masterson. “See you later. Bat.” "Sure,” Masterson said. “Elizabeth, you going to leave Camp Supply?” “Yes. 1 got a new outfit. I’nj. going back, Bat,” He grinned and shook his head. •Talk about men being stubborn. How are you goin’ to make out?” "I’ve been thinking of the things Finley Burkhauser said. About the trail herds that will come north this year. I've listened to a lot of talk, Bat, and that crossing is going to be popular. 1 might go into the trading business.” Masterson paused to rub his clean-shaven face. “Eliabeth, I’m craw-flshing like a sinner Itchin’ to be saved, and it ain’t my way of doin’ things, but you're sure an all-fired perky little thing and it throws me. You suppose I could come out with something that’s on my mind without you getting riled?” "Yes. You don't have to hem and haw, Bat."

■'ln the picture I portray a voodoo girl who is initiated into a , cult. Some of the costumes are quite revealing, but it is the best role that has come along in three years. That’s why I accepted it. “After this film I will return to Mexico to form my own company and make my own. movies — in several language versions. “This is the beginning of a permanent and continuing career for me. Just wait and see.” ♦ The per capita Fedreal income tax burden ranges from a high of $992 a year in Delaware to a low of $157 in Mississippi. Connecticut is second highest with $735. according to the Tax Foundation, while the figures for other state's include $651 in New York, $360 in ! Texas and $203 in Arkansas.

I He grinned then. "Well, I’m a savin' man, and —” I She interrupted nim. “Why do 'men always start out with that?" “Huh? Gosh, I don't know. Sounds good, 1 guess. Matter of fact, I’m more than just a savin’ man. Tight's the word that would fit better. Anyway, 1 got a good bit of money put aside and I’d like to stake you.” “Stake me?” “Sure, in that tradin’ post What do you say, Elizabeth?” "It would have to be a loan," she said. "Absolutely no strings, Bat.” "Why, sure," he said, grinning. "Dang it, 1 took a shine to you, Elizabeth, you being so blamed plucky and all. I mean it." "I’m flattered, but 1 think it's because women are scarce." "Hey! That ain't so. Damn it, if 1 wanted a woman bad enough Fd get on the train and go to Chicago and find one. Sure, they ain’t so plentiful that you can knock ’em off ot bushes with a stick, but 1 don’t pick a woman because I’m lonesome and she s handy.” He grinned again. “Still, can I come courtin' if I behave myself?” "All right,” she said. "But 1 want you to understand that 1 like you and want you for a friend, but it’s got to end there.” He sighed and scuffed some dirt, then turned when he heard a sound behind him. Tom Rettig had quietly approached them and was standing there. “I got tired of waitin’," he said. "1 was Just saying goodbye to Mr. Masterson," Elizabeth said. Turning back to Masterson, she said, "Thank you for the offer of the loan.” “Oh, the loan still goes,” Bat Masterson said quickly. "I’ll write you a note and you can put your name to it. How about fifteen hundred dollars?” "Fifteen hund—why, that’s a fortune!” v "It’ll get your started,” Masterson said. "If you want, I’ll go see the sutler and tell him it’s all right to give you credit on my account.” "Bat, you’ll get this money back, with interest.” "Sure. I know that, Elizabeth. Just you take care of yourself." He looked at the boy. "Sonny, ain’t we ever going to shake hands? I’m not too proud to make the first move." To prove it he extended his hand. Thomas Rettig looked at It a moment, then spit on it, A brief and dangerous anger came into Masterson's eyes, but he erased it quickly. Without another word he turned and walked toward the sutler’s. “1 guess I’ll get beat good for that,” Tom Rettig said. “No,” Elizabeth said softly. "No, 1 think it would be useless, Tom.” Elizabeth has a surprise awaiting for Bat Masterson. . Continue Will Cook’s heartwarming narrative tomorrow.

j Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LBE O - wn 0 • Dried Fruits When dried fruits are to chopped in the food grinder, run cold water over them and they will not stick together. Dried fruits can be cooked and kept on hand for a week or more. Repairing Plaster It is easier to repair cracks in plaster if the plaster does not harden too rapidly, and this can be effected by mixing the plaster with vinegar, instead of water. Parchment Shades Parchment shades can be cleaned very nicely with wall paper cleaner. They may also be sponged with a cloth moistened in soapy water. Bronze Ornaments Bronze oraments should be dusted, then rubbed with a cloth moistened with sweet oil. Polish with a cost cloth until they shine and all stains are removed. Furniture Scratches Boiled linseed oil rubbed over the surface of a scratched table or other piece of furniture will conceal the blemishes. O' o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE I o Q. If one is eating a steak or roast, or something similar, isn’t it all right and more convenient to cut the meat up into several mouthfuls at a time before eating it? A. It may seem more convenient to get your "cutting-up” done all at the same time—but it certainly is not considered in good form. One should cut off a single bite at a time. Q. If my husband and I arrive late at church, when the sermon has begun, is it proper for us to walk down the aisle and be seated? A. Tardy persons at church should seat themselves quietly somewhere at the rear of the church. / Q. Wfiat kind of .card should bne enclose with a wedding gift? A. A visiting card, or a plain white card with one’s name on it. Q. If all the other guests at a dinner have refused a second helping of some dish, and then you are asked, is it all right for you to accept? A. In this case, it would probably be better if you declined. If you were the only ohe to accept a second helping, you, naturally, would be delaying the serving of the next course — and a well-bred person is always considerate of others. > Q. Is it essential that the fathers of the bride and bridegroom be part of the, reciving line at the wedding reception? A. No. The only “essential” male member of the receiving line ( is the bridegroom. Q. When is the abbreviation “Messrs.” used in letter writing? A. This, of course, is the abbreviation of the French word for “Misters,” and should be used only for letters addressed to two brothers, never to father and son —“The Messrs. John and George Kent.” Q. Is a sodp bowl ever placed cn the table without a plate or saucer under it? A. No, not anymore than you would place a coffee cup on the table without its saucer. A Saucer should always be placed under a or dessert bowl.
