From Here and There Sen. Von Eichhorn said Saturday that any bill not reported out of committee, including the right to work repealer, by today, would not be passed this session of the state legislature. Rumor had it that the six Republicans who have indicated they would vote for repeal in the Senate were going to switch and vote against the worker-sponsored bill, thus killing it. Gormer Gov. Henry Shricker, who suffered a stroke several years ago, was back in top shape Saturday for the Jefferson-Jackson day victory dinner. The popular symbol of good government in Indiana, the white hat, was much in evidence. Shricker stood all afternoon shaking hands alongside Sen. Vance Hartke and Sen. Stuart Symington. Birch Bayh, speaker of the House, said Saturday that Burl Johnson, state representative from AdamsWells county, was doing a good job as a freshman in the legislature. Sen. Hartke explained to the editor that the reason he voted against a major change imsenate rules to stop filibustering was, that the measure had no chance of passing, and that by staying with, rather than antagonizing Sen. Johnson, more could be gained for Indiana in the long-run. A good example is the reversal on flood appropriation of $225,000 needed for an upper Wabash control—Eisenhower’s so-called budget cut to zero a valley flood control project; now it is necessary to spend $250,000 just To repair the damage done by the last flood alone. A penny saved is 'not always a penfiy earned. John Raber, state president of the Indiana Farmer’s Union, told the editor Saturday that he was simply amazed at what he found in Russia when he visited farms over there. Russia, he claimed, is moving away from actual communism by leaps and bounds. While he was there the tractor stations were disbanded, and mechanical units turned over to the local cooperative farms. He stated that he was afraid Russia would make tremendous strides in fanning within the next seven years, and Americans had better wake up and look ahead. Another prominent Democrat remarked that the fact that Republican Raber was at the reception for Hartke and Symington, sponsored by Judge G. Remy Bierly, indicated that perhaps" Raber was “running scared,” and mending farm fences to keep his position as president of the Farmers Union in Indiana. Most obvious difference in the Jefferson-Jackson victory dinner this year—the absence of liberals, and the presence of conservative Democrats at the head tables. Young Democrats are usually in the fore during election years. The presence and prominence of Frank McKinney and Frank McHale, and the absence of Paul Butler was also noted, although Mrs. Butler was present. Attendance at the meeting was quite “good, with more than 1,200 present at the Murat Temple. Sen. SymWon 3id-itf»t‘ seem to nia"ke the impression left by the former speakers such as Sen. Gore two years ago. Perhaps he was tired by the long ordeal of handshaking during the afternoon, but he seemed a good bit older than the 57 years he mentioned.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED I Rhoda Marsh left her New England . home to cross the country to marry ■ man she hasn't seen tor three rears. Her betrothed. Elisha Slocum, is a 1 missionary among Indians near Fort . Cass, Wyoming. She faces the llkellhood ot being stranded at St. Lou la. I which she reached with the Rev. Jere- f miah Shandy as her escort For Rev. Shandy has been unable to persuade his brother Jim. a mountain region i trader, to arrange for Rhoda to travel , West under the protection of a back train. Jim Shandy cooked up a scheme with Sherman Randall of the American Fur Co., which is a rival of Jim's employer, the Rocky Mountain Fur Co., to rook the latter company, and no# USS' reasbi/ to- regret tt. -tt the: AFC traders set to the RMFC secret rendezvous first. Jim may get 10% of the profits: but he may also lose nis life. For he has spotted trappers Mordecal Price Mid Ree Semple, whom he supposed to be in the mountains. They can upset his game. To get rid of Mordecai, be dopes Mordecai's drink and the trapper recovers consciousness to find himself on a steamboat escorting Rhoda Marsh on the long journey up the Missouri. When Mordecai discovers Ree Semple a passenger on the same boat, he plans to abandon Rhoda to Ree's care. His plans are reversed that night Rhoda agrees to swim secretly to shore with him and travel by land instead of choosing to continue the journey comfortably by boat with Ree, CHAPTER 11 - Mordecai price could hear the stokers talking aboard the Rosebud as he cut the mooring line. In his free hand he held the float that he’d tied to the end of a tow rope. The raft began to move. It bumped lightly against the null of the Rosebud until Mordecai, swimming deep and strong, pulled it clear. There was a brief stretch of quiet inshore water and then he and Rhoda Marsh were caught up in the swift, powerful current. The seething sound of the Big Muddy all around them was like some terror from an unknown time. The darkness made the river seem limitless. Mordecai nad cut himself an awful big hunk oft the plug and he knew it He shared some of the Indians’ mystic dislike of action after darkness; but after a brief feeling ot having made a bad mistake, his mind steadied down to the hard, logical facts of his position. All they had to do was swim across the river. "Is my rifle. Old Belcher, riding good?" he asked. For i moment, when Rhoda didn’t answer, he had a terrible fear that she had gone under. Then she spoke up, all shaky and mad. "To hell with Old Belcher!” She was scared and sore at the same time, and that was good. By Old Ephraim, he had to allow she was a heap different than any white woman he had ever known. And maybe tn some things she had more pruts than a squaw. s>" Slowly, steaiUly, he pulled for the tjur she re. Mordecai had studied the river before dark. It wasn’t so bad. All you had to do was stay afloat and angle acrosi, and after a halfmile, nxrybe. jou’d come in. That Frees Um novel puUMed by n» I

Attach W-2 Form To Income Tax Returns When filing income tax returns, it is absolutely necessary to attach the W-2 form, or invite unecessary headaches, acording to Sterling M. Dietrich, director of internal revenue for the Indianapolis district. No refunds can be made without the form. — No credit for taxes can be given without the form. And finally, without the form, the return will be returned to the sender, costing both time and money for the government as well as the taxpayer.

It took a heap of 1 hard swimming to clear one of t them. ! After her one outburst he' heard i no more from Rhoda until they 1 came ashore. Her teeth were chat- < tering then. She and Mordecai i fought their way up the bank, I slipping and falling in the mud. Once in the trees Rhoda dropped i "No time for resting," Morde- i cal said. ‘‘We got to get to the Ottoe camp and trade for some bosses," 1 “You damned -*!** Mordecai was getting the plun- . der off the raft. The woman's outraged cry startled him, and then he grinned. “Fine talk for a missionary.” "Heaven, forgive me, but that’s what you are for getting me into that river!” * “You’re out now. Quit bellyaching, woman.” Mordecai carried her stuff into the treea Damned if she didn’t have more baggage than an English brigade leader. "Let’s go.” “You’re not going to hurry me!" “That's where you’re wrong. 1 got reason to be tn a hurry.” Rhoda didn’t rise. Mordecai heard her stirring the contents in one of her bags. “Come on," he said Impatiently. “1 lost my shoes in the river. Shut your mouth.” Mordecai felt in his possibles sack. "You can tie oh a pair of my moccasins until you—” “No, thank you! I’ve not become a savage—yet.” Mordecai fretted at the slow progress they made during the night Near dawn he located the Ottoe camp by the barking of a dog, but it was well after dayl light when they came tn sight of 1 it a small group of lodges standing against trees near a tiny . stream. Rhoda stopped instantly, lifting I one foot as if to rest it “Are i they friendly?" "Friendlier than white people. Come on." It was her first contact with Indians in their native state. She stayed close to Mordecai all the i time. They came pouring from i their lodges, tail men, wide, shape- . less women, naked children. An I old man who had nothing to dis- ' tlnguish him but gray hair and i the biggest pocked nose Rhoda had ever seen rode out with sev- ' era) younger then to meet them. They all looked grim as fate, . but after Mordecai made signs i and talked, the Indians fell off their ponies and began a hug- ■ ging match.

about $275 each, three brood sows and 20 pigs, a number of sheep, and farm equipment including a barn were totally destroyed by the blaze. Fire officials at Celina said that they are still seeking to learn how it started. Estimates put the loss at between $15,000 and $20,000, only partly covered by insurance. Lenten Services At Lutheran Church Weekly Lenten vesper services will be held at the Zion Lutheran church Wednesday evening at 6:45 and 8:15 o’clock. The Rev. Richard Ludwig, pastor, will speak on “Victory over Conflicts,” the second sermon in a series “in Christ We Have the Victory.” A nursery will be provided during the early service. Children of the Saturday Bible school, directed by Bernard Schultz, will sing at the early service. All members and friends, and those having no church home, are invited to attend these services. <

ing and grunting their alien tongue. These ot course were not mission Indians: there must be a great difference. They placed food before her and she ate, thinking of dog. It wasn't dog, she kept telling herself, but still she kept thinking ot dog all the time. An old hag pulled her shoes oft and stared at them, laughing as she showed the other women the strange footgear. And where was Mordecai? She heard him talking, heard hia laughter. He came briefly to the lodge and took away one ol her bags, waving aside her protests by saying there was no time to explain at the moment The Ottoe women goggled at the comb she took from her personal pack to rake the Missouri mud from her hair. When she started to put her hair up again, the women raised an unearthly grunting. They braided it for her, and her protests availed nothing. From the stock of goods she was taking to Elisha she gave them presents, combs and beads and small mirrors. She didn’t iflftw whether she was giving too much or too little. Later she would have to talk to Mordecai about such things. Later ... AH at once the strangeness and newness of her position assailed her. That terrifying swim across the river was something she would never forget. And then the dawn on the big, empty land. She had been dead-tired then, ready to drop, but Mordecai had kept striding on. At this moment, If she could return to the safety of the boat, she would go gladly. Why, the trip was hardly started, and her only protector was a surly brute of a Mountain Man. True, he had not been forward. In fact, he hardly seemed to know that she was a woman. But from now on how would he be? She was tired and frightened. She thought ot her aunt in Massachusetts, far, far away. The heavy odor of the lodge oppressed her, and the dark, barbaric look of the Ottoe women added to her feeling of lostness. Two old bags spread robes for her, waving the other women from the lodge. They gave her toothless, wrinkled grins and patted tW robes. These people were friendly. Maybe they could take her back to the Rosebud later. Surely, with their help, she could catch it again when it stopped for wood someplace. She stretched out on the robes to sleep, placing her bags and packs doss to her. But before she went to sleep she asked forgiveness for calling Mordecai Price an evil name. But she had been so relieved to get ashore, and then so furious about the ordeal he had put her through, that she couldn’t help it. t'CYmttaueti Tomorrow/ ktrfbuted oy Mlns Fnetuies Syndicate,

Mock Sessions Os Congress By Club Mock sessions of Congress proved stimulating and educational for the members of Mary’s Catholic civic club during their February program. The program, “Careers in Government,” was • used to make the study of civics both functional and entertaining. The male element ofLthe club represented the house of representatives. because they were in the majority. The distaff side played the senate role as heated controversy ensued over issues Currently gaining the same treatment in the nation’s capital. Alice Voglewede and Patricia Powell introduced a joint resolution regarding the anti-filibuster issue. Needless to say, vigorous debates followed, but the resolution was passed by the barest majority. 7' .. The proposal was sent to the house, where is was passed with dispatch. “President” Fred Schurger, signed the bill into law—or, it would have been Jaw, if these offices were legal. Each session was held separately with the men being the lobbyists and the gallery for the “senate,” and vice versa. Tbe male contingent then went' to work on the un-American activities committee, attempting to oust it. This is HR-53, for those politically minded. The “representatives” scoured the congressional record for days, seeking material

The club’s next venture will be to propose a bill in the state legislature that wiU require an amendment.
