Very Fair The Decatur Chamber of Commerce, under its new president, George W. Auer, has expressed its willingness to cooperate in any way possible to bring more information to the people concerning the sale of the electric utility. The Chamber has gone out of its way, in effect, to make certain that both sides of the question are fully explained to the people of the city of Decatur. At present none of the citizens opposed to the sale have contacted Mr. Auer concerning the possibility of a second 4 meeting. The Chamber will, if the meeting is held, encourage its members to attend, if desired, the Chamber will even sponsor such a meeting, subject only to the rule that no personal questions be submitted from the floor. This rule was in effect at the first meeting, and its only purpose is to prevent heated personal feelings from interfering with the consideration of the question. The problem of getting a panel for a second meeting will be somewhat more difficult, because those opposed have no engineering firm hired to advise them. However, perhaps a representative from federal power authorities, or from tlie public power organization, could be secured. As far as information from the city, undoubtedly past mayors or past' council Members could be present, and perhaps even past legal advisors. At any rate, the Chamber has certainly indicated its willingness to cooperate in any way possible to bring out all sides of the story. This places the burden of proving the negative on those opposed to the sale. The next few weeks will tell if they will meet the challenge, and present their side. It goes without saying that this newspaper will give as exact and fair coverage to the second meeting as it is possible to give.

A self-addressed, stamped envelope was enclosed making it extremely simple and easy to donate money to this most worthy cause. To date approximately only 200 envelopes have been returned, a fact that is most disturbing to the committee. I am sure that most of the 4800 people who have not participated by returning their contributions want to support the National Foundation. They are gratful for the Salk vaccine which has done so much to eliminate the agony and horror of_polio epidemics. They still want to aid polio victimsf more than SIBOO was spent in Adams csunty~ alone in 1958 for this purpose. They want to find a cure for arthritis and birth defects which cripple so many thousands of children. I feel that it is just due to an oversight that the envelopes have not been -mailed. Any amount is acceptable—if each one sent in only a small donation it would mean hundreds of dollars to help wipe out the “three faces of crippling.’’ I am writing this letter in the hope that your readers who have overlooked this inexpensive

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Rhoda Marsh left her New England home to cross the country to marry a man she hasn’t seen for three years. Her betrothed. Elisha Slocum, is a missionary among Indians near Fort Cass. Wyoming. In St. Louis, which she reached with the Reverend Jeremiah Shandy as her escort, she faces the possibility of being stranded. For Jeremiah Shandy has been unsuccessful so far In inducing his brother Jim. a trading agent, to arrange for Rhoda to go West with a pack train. . . . CHAPTER 2 IF RHODA MARSH rebelled I secretly against the fact that the Missionary Society, more than her own desire, had betrothed her to Elisha Slocum, she was determined now to rebel no more. With the help of God, she was going to sustain Elisha tn his lonely and discouraging mission of spreading light among the heathen. ... A group of voyageurs in bright woolen shirts burst from the Beaver Palace, singing with their arms around each other as they stumbled into the street Though Rhoda’s French was the formal, precise kind she had learned In Mrs. Upjohn’s Seminary, she caught enough of the sense of the song to make her ears bum. And yet, there was a ringing, jolly lilt to the tune. Such things she must get used to, she told herself. She had already learned that foul language shocked her but did not outrage her, that the bold stares of men disturbed her but did not terrify her, and that coarseness was not, of itself, evil. In fact, much of what she had learned, and was learning, might well be excellent training for the Wife of a missionary. X * * * Across one end of the Beaver Palace ran a balcony guarded by curving Ironwork. It was on this elevation so simply but effectively removed from the rougher classes of humanity that gentlemen were wont to sit and drink and discuss business affairs while viewing from a safe vantage the frequent disturbances that swept across the main floor below. There were, to be sure, more elegant places in the city to drink whisky and talk business, but perhaps shadiness begets shadiness; at any rate, deals which greatly affected hundreds of men in the distant Rocky Mountains, men who would never be allowed up the Stairs to the balcony, were often consummated around the iron tables. Part way up the steps, Jim Shandy paused to look at Ree Semple, talking in a comer with two mule traders from Santa Fe, Ree was around at the wrong season. A trapper such as he belonged in the mountains. Who was he working for’now 7 All the fur companies spied on one another. Was he working for Roeky Mountain, sent here by Milton Sublette or Jim Bridger or old Tom Fitzpatrick to spy on Shandy?- That didn’t make sense. But he could have been hired by Bob Campbell or Bill Sublette, whose pack trains carried goods to the I From the novel published by The Mi

Rocky Mountain rendezvous. Bill Sublette was m the East now. and Campbell had gone early to the mountains. They’d left Shandy in charge of sending the pack train out. Maybe they didn’t trust him. i. Shandy guessed he had a right to fee) a little fidgety, for bed been in the business end of the fur trade u ‘just long enough to learn how cutthroat it was, and' long enough to plot his own treachery. It was a cure thing. Right now he was about to pull a deal that would stun the whole fur trade, something that had. never been thought of before. It would make him rich. To hell with Ree Semple and imaginary worries! Knowing that Sherman Randall’s cold eyes were on him. Shandy went on to the conference table. Randal) had a reputation for doing business quickly, and to his own advantage. Joseph Bogard didn’t matter here. He was slow and sleepy looking, with a face that was starting to bulge with creeping fat He did only what Randall said, but he did it well Randall was one of the old hebears of the American Fur Company. He looked as if he should have been dead ten years ago. but his eyes were sharply alive and piercing. A faint smile was always ready at the corner of his thin lips. It was said that no man understood the fur trade as he did. Shandy tried to shrug away a fear of Randall. He was only a man, after all. and greed was the key that unlocked all of them. *Tve got a proposition,” Shandy announced. “It involves a lot of money.” “That’s always interesting. Whose money?” Randall asked gently. “It ain’t stealing, if that’s what you’re hinting at,” Shandy answered. Randall nodded. "Splendid. Let’s hear this honest proposal.” “Your outfit," said Shandy, “the American Company, don’t operate from pack trains. Your trappers and the Indians bring their furs into your posts to trade, places like Fort Union and Fort Cass.” The fact was so elementary that neither Randall nor pogard deigned to comment They looked bored. "On the other hand, the Rocky Mountain Company sends pack trains with goods to trade for furs wherever we hold our summer rendezvous. I sent the train out last week. Do you know where the Rocky Mountain’s rendezvous la this summer?” He asked this of Randall. \ ~ Os course the man knew. Although he had never been across the prairies, he had a remarkable knowledge of the workings of his rivals, Every trapper for the Rocky Mountain, every free trapper, and every Indian who had been at last year’s rendezvous had been told that this year’s aonlUaa Co, © 1958 Steve Frazee.

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY J „ - By Jack Heller LOOKING BACK One wonders, sometimes, where the philosophers meet nowadays. We can recall, with a touch of nostalgia, and much respect, the days when the settee and chairs in the back of Cal Peterson’s clothing store were the philosophical center of DecatUr. Not all the thoughts presented at those impromptu meetings were done in the Elizabethian form and phrase. But among the chuckles of such men as Jim Andrews, Ben Eiting, Will Schnepf, Bart Walters and Gal Peterson were many a gem of wisdom from men who had spent a good deal of time in this life, and had a lot of fun along the way. These men knew life; not from psychology courses and books, but from people; from living with them, working with them and laughing with them. One wonders, sometimes, where the philosophers meet nowadays. DRIBBLED OUT With the county tourney over, and the sectional drawing near, basketball is the talk of the county more than ever. Gerald Strickler, one of the best and , most respected referees in the state, had an interesting experience recently. “Strick” 'was working a game up in the Calumet area. One of the teams had a fancy ball-handler at guard. The boy came down the floor, stopped ’dribbling, and went into his exhibition. He flipped the ball behind his back, through his legs, and then Strickler blew the whistle. He awarded the ball to the opposing team, and play continued. At half time, the coach of the boy mentioned sent a manager in to see “Strick” to find out what he called. It was a triple-dribble. Strickler said he let the doubledribble go just to be sure of himself. When said athlete went into his show, he had already

1 meeting would be at Great Mfead- . qws on Wind River. Randall > would be lying in His teeth if he • said that word of the rendezvous : had not come to him from the : field. "Os course we know where your : rendezvous is,” Randall said. I Shandy shook his head. “It’s ■ not on Wind River. We changed i it secretly before the rendezvous I broke up last season.” That was i a tie and a bluff, but it might be worth something later on. I Shandy needed every advantage he could manufacture before he I reached the actual point of his deal. “So it’s somewhere else," Randal] said. "You’ve been wasting our time so far. I suppose you realize that” Shandy came to the point ‘‘Suppose that pack trains from the American Company got to our rendezvous before our own pack train?” The change in Bogard’s expression was remarkable. He had been emulating his superior’s attitude by looking bored, but now his fleshy features came alive and you could almost see the dollar signs sparkling In his eyes. Randall’s face became a gray mask. The faint smile at the corners of his mouth disappeared, and his eyes grew as still and bright as those of a captive bird. Ah! That had hit them where they lived. They weren’t looking now at Jim Shandy like he was dirt beneath their feet! They knew; they were thinking. Profits on goods exchanged at the. rendezvous for furs often went as high as 2,000 per,cent. Bitter as the rivalry was among all the fur companies, no one had ever attempted to snatch a competitor’s furs by getting to rendezvous first with a pack train of trade goods. They were making their leisurely wa Y toward Wind River now, trappers of the Rocky Mountain Company, free trappers who never went near the posts of the American Cqmpany or any other company, ano with them was a wealth of beaver. Randall knew. What didn’t he know about the fur trade? Company loyalty, especially in the Rocky Mountain, was a great thing. Men like Milt Sublette and Bridger and Mordecai Price would hair out like mad badgers at the very thought of selling piewa to American. They might even keep a few company trappers from doing it, but only a few. Take a man who had waded icy streams on the fall and spring hunts—what was ho going to do when he saw spread before him all the stuff he'd craved during the winter: whisky, coffee, sugar, not to mention the necessities like blankets and powder and ehot? After a few free drinks, little loyalty to anything would be left Whoever got the goods to rendezvous first was sure of a fortune Jp beaver plews. It was that simple.

dribbled, and the flipping of the ball from one had to another with a moment when neither hand was on the ball constituted a double-dribble. The pass under Ithe leg was the clincher that made it a triple-dribble. Seems that the coach was satisfied when Strickler quoted the rule pertaining to the violation, which is more than can be said on many of the calls by “Strick,” or any other referee. ■ 30 ON WINTER IN INDIANA I think that I can safely say The weather we had last Tuesday Was just about the rottenest That old dame nature could divest Upon the poor folk prone to stay In this part of the U. S. A. At least I thought that Tuesday night. But Wednesday, 10, another plight That’s just as bad, or even worse. It’s just a shame to put to verse The fallen limbs, the wires come down, , The pratfalls suffered in our town, On sidewalks slick as melted grease. From freezing rain that just won’t cease. At intersections, tempers flare At tires that spin and chew the air And finally move the car on through, So next in line can get stuck, too. It’s clearer, now, the tale I've heard Os one oldtimer, wise of word. On hearing strangers speak with dread Os Indiana weather, said, If you don’t like our weather, friend. Just stick around till this day’s end, ’Cause in another hour, or two. It’s bound to change. You know, ft’s true. And then he went ahead to say, In philosophic Hoosier way. That’s why we start out late in fall And just go wild on basketball. Until our lousy winter’s through, There just ain’t nothing else to do. * 30 WHAT DID YOU SAY? Steve Brown, eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Brown, takes his education seriously. The young gentleman is a student in the second grade at the Lincoln school, and in the course of his studies, is polishing up on reading and spelling. One of his Christmas presents was a simplified version of the popular word game, Scrabble. Master Brown was engaged in a hot contest and formed the word T-R-A. His father told him he’d better reconsider, as he didn’t think that was a word. Steve told his father he knew it was because he’d heard a lot of people use it when they sing: tra-la-la, tra-la-la. Hiese kids are a lot smarter than they get credit for. Reminds us of the time the boy was talking too much at the table, and was told to keep his mouth closed and eat his dinner. He asked how he could eat his dinner if he had to keep his mouth closed. Seems like we adults should say what we mean. FINE CUT Charlie Kent, congenial auctioneer and real estate man on a local level, and well known around the country as a “rock-hound,” had a lot of fun making cole slaw one evening. Mr. Kent purchased a liquidizer for his wife a while back. A liquidizer, Charlie explains, is an electric gadget to mix, dice and slice. The directions with the aforementioned modern miracle contained the procedure for making cole slaw, Mr. Kent followed the directions up to a point, chopping the cabbage into two-inch squares and dropping them into the liquidizer, The .mfthual then stated that the machine should be turned on and right back off. Desirous of finely sliced slaw instead of rough cut cabbage, he decided to leave the appliance running for about 10 seconds. When he got ready for Slaw. Mr. Kent said he had some of the

finest cold cabbage soup he had ever tasted. Due to the extreme high speeds of the blades in the machine, when it said turn it on and turn it off, that’s what it meant. o■■ — u Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE o •■<» Vegetables Vegetables that grow underground should be covered in cooking, and those that grow above ground should be left uncovered.
