Make Decatur Greater A new, revitalized campaign to really expand Decatur is starting this year, sparked by the rejuvenated Chamber of Commerce. In the past this organization has been accused of being senile and reactionary, but the seeds of reorganization sown this past year are now beginning to sprout, bud, and grow. Expansion of Decatur, with better service, better jobs, and better living for all is the goal of the Chamber. A great campaign to enlist every merchant’s* cooperation is now under way. You will be able to spot the cooperative merchant very easily—he will have a large banner placed on his door stating, “Make Decatur Greater.” • • • • Easter The greatest religious festival of any year will take, place this Sunday. Every American who has never visited a church, or taken any interest in religious affairs, owes it to himself to visit* one of the churches of his community on this great day. Perhaps from this visit he can grasp a glimmering of the great religious enthusiasm that permeated the soul of the real Christian. On Feaster this shines forth in new glory, and the Christian members again the great and glorious transfiguration and ascension of his Lord and Saviour at the Resurrection. While some only see the outer glory that this brings forth in new clothes, others see within the soul a new generation of vitality, interest and understanding in man to God and man to man relations. • • • • Federal Aid? es There has been talk of getting a federal loan to help pull the Decatur electric utility out of its problems without selling the company to Indiana-Michigan. About half of those interested in keeping the local plant, however, do not believe’ in federal aid. Another problem is that the area redevelopment bill, recently introducd by Senator Hartke, would effect only 12 Indiana cities, and Decatur is not one of them. Therefore, there is no law now pending, or in operation, that would help Decatur borrow the necessary money. Another possibility is a Wabash Valley Authority—a WVA to parallel the TV A. But many local people would be opposed to such an answer. The plain fact is, a lot of people are rightly sentimentally attached to the city of Decatur. They don’t look at a city-owned plant as being a socialist sort of a thing, but they would oppose any state or federal act.

Conflict Looms For Indiana Democrats By Eugene j. cadou United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A stirring conflict between conservative and liberal leaders looms in the Indiana Democratic party. Events in the recent General Assembly appear to have accentuated this rift in the party with labor legislation producing much of the cleavage. Sen. Matthew E. Welsh, Vincennes, front runner for the party’s 1960 gubernatorial nomination, appears to have been affected considerably by the legislative proceedings. He , apparently is being tagged as a conservative by a number of labor leaders, who are about to support other candidates for the nomination. For instance, the Indiana State Building and Construction Council, has attacked Welsh in connection with his record as Senate Democratic floor leader. A statement of legislative representatives of the council said: "Had Welsh demonstrated leadership, he could have pushed through ‘right to work’ repealer by constantly forcing a vote early in the session. This would have forced those senators who said they were for repeal to either fish or cut bait. As minority leader, it was Welsh’s duty to push for outright repeal "Welsh either neglected or refused to do so, each time offering a flimsy excuse.’’ The statement charged also that Welsh championed a "so - called labor reform’ bill because he be lieved it would aid his aspirations for the governorship.” The laborites also became at odds with an ally of Sen. Welsh, Sen. Vance Hartke, who crossed picket lines set up in Evansville by the Municipal. County and State Employes Union, which Hartke. defied while he was Evansville mayor. Among the pickets was Dallas Sells, president of the Indiana AFL - CIO, although Sells was not actually in the lines Hartke crossed. On the other han<j. the labor leaders are enthusiastic about the records of three other Democratic gubernatorial possibilities who urged enactment of the repealer. They-are National-Chairman Paul M. Butler and Sens. Marshall Ki-

CHAPTER 28 The mounted Indians came skimming back to the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. pack train in the afternoon, signaling that they’d spotted a heap of white men. Little Foolish Bear made the signs for three hundred horses. “Much dust. One sleep away." He had overestimated the size of the pack train, Mordecai Price knew, but it couldn’t be anybody but the American Fur Co. outfit. Big Nose Yenzer and Mordecai looked at each other. They couldn’t go one step faster than they were going at the moment. In fact, they both knew they couldn’t even hope to keep up their present speed. They watched their own pack train moving past. The rest had benefited some of the original animals, but It hadn’t been enough rest Mules with backs rubbed

raw when they were badly overloaded on the Platte trail were trying to hold back now. Some of the lame ones weren’t going to last two days more. Some of the packers slogging by, a few of them nigh barefooted, looked resentfully at the mounted Indians. “Go back,” Mordecai told Beaver Tails and the other Snakes. “Watch. See if they come faster." The Indians had nothing better to do. It was interesting work, without risk, and they were getting paid for it They went away happy enough. “Know any short cuts?” Big Nose asked. Mordecai shook his head. They were raising camp when the Snakes came in to report three men coming on from the American pack train. Emil Frederick, the clerk, was one of them. Grim as an insulted Crow, he was, with dust thickly overlaying the burned redness of his features. He came riding tn like he meant business. Instead of just coming on a pretended visit to gloat over the condition of Rocky Mountain’s outfit. He always rode with a tomahawk tied at his saddle horn, and it was said he could throw it better nor he could shoot a rifle at close range. "Where’s Jim Shandy ?” he demanded. "He ain’t with us,” Big Nose ■aid.‘"What d’you want?” Frederick looked around the camp. He took an insulting long time in answering. "Three horses. Shandy •tole ’em.” . > "He ain’t with us," Mordecai said. "His two men ain’t with us any longer, either. Have we got any of Frederick’s horses, Big Nose ?* , "Maybe one. You can have It back at the rendezvous, Frederick." "1 see that one,” Frederick said. "It ain’t the one I’m most interested in. My buffalo horse . . You say that’» the one Shindy’s got?"

zer, Plymouth, and S. Hugh Dillin, Petersburg. The statement of the council blamed six other senators for the demise of the repealer. One is a Democrat, Sen. James Spurgeon, Brownstown, and the others are Republicans—Ruel Steele, Bedford; rad. Monticello; Samual McWesley Malone, Clinton; Roy ConQueen. Brazil, and Robert Justice, Logansport. Sells declined to comment on Welsh’s action during the legislative session. “We will have a statement to make within a day or so." he said. But he criticized Hartke for crossing the picket line. "Officially, we» think he was wrong.” Sells said. Asked whether the incident could cost Hartke labor’s support. Sells replied: "We look at a man’s total record, not just one incident." When Traveling If the dresses are wrapped carefully around pieces of cardboard and pinned in place, they will not wrinkle.

"Nope.” Big Nose shook his head. "I know that buffler horse of youra He ain’t been near this train.” “Best damn’ buffler horse there ever was," Frederick said. “Shandy stele him. I’d’ve give him horses if he’d asked.” He looked hard at Mordecai and Big Nose, as if he had more to say about Shandy. But he didn’t say it. “1 guess you’ll stay with us tonight,” Big Nose said. "Not that there’s anything you ain’t seen i already.” _ ~ “Thanks kin d 1 y,” Frederick r grinned. ‘‘Sure we ll stay.” Now , that the matter of the stolen i horses was fairly settled in his > mind, he was friendly enough. He sat around a fire and yarned

away that night with Mordecai and Big Nose. Now and then Frederick got in a careless question that wes a bid for information. No doubt at ail, Frederick knew that Shandy had made a deal with American, and now he was fairly certain that Mordecai and Big Nose had discovered Shandy’s treachery. “Where is Shandy?” Frederick asked. “Up ahead somewhere,” Mordecai said curtly. “Keep that horse he stole?” “Nope," Big Nose said. "We ain’t that bad off.” “Not that it’s going to do you any good.” Frederick lit his pipe. “You two could go to work for American." “1 worked for ’em Once," Big Nose said. “Keep your damn' company, Frederick.” “I figure to.” Mordecai watched Rhoda Marsh going toward her shelter. Etienne Beauregard was looking after her like a moonstruck calf. Frederick went to bed, yawning mightily, well pleased with himself, and as secure as if he’d been with his own pack train. Big Nose said, “You’d better sleep near her lodge tonight, Mord.” Mordecai gave him a long, hard look. “Missionary or not, she’s still a woman, and a heap better looking than most." ”1 ain’t fretting over her," Mordecai growled. “Yeah.” Big Nose went to bed. After he was sure Big Nose was asleep, Mordecai did gd over and put his robes down near Rh'oda's lodge. Wasn’t no need of it, of course, but just In case Beauregard did get to stumbling around in the night Mordecai would take pleasure in breaking his head. In the morning Lajoie and two other hunters were gone. They’d taken ponies, and the tracks led back toward the American pack train. Two of the ponies belonged to Lajoie, his hunting horses. Ordinarily, Big Nose would have led a party to overtake the iactnillan Co. © 1958 Steve Frazee. Di

20 Years Ago Today March 26,. 1939 was Sunday and no paper was published. o ; —° I Modern Etiquette ’ By ROBERTA LEE o— j Q. When a man intends to send a corsage to the girl he is escorting to some function, is it all right for him to inquire what color of gown she is going to wear, so that the flowers will harmonize? A. This is quite proper and usually a good idea. There are, however, some flowers that are suitable for any color of gown. Q. When cake is served and no forks are provided, how should one eat it? A. Don't lift the entire slice of cake to the mouth. Break it into individual pieces, much as you would a slice of bread or a bun—then convey each piece to the mouth with the fingers.

deserters and deal them harsh punishment. There was no time for that now. He did accuse Frederick of luring the men away. Frederick shook his head disgustedly. “Your men are walking. Why wouldn’t they desert ? I never even talked to those three." "You’ll hire 'em though, won’t you!" Big Nose raged. "Os course. The more men hired away from the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, the sooner you’ll be wiped out.” Frederick watched the packers loading scarecrow animals. More and more of the bulk of goods was being shifted to the Indian ponies. Frederick was very plainly thinking that he would pass this train soon. He was right. Both Big Nose and Mordecai knew it. The American men didn’t bother to hurry back toward their own train. They were still loafing at the campsite when the last mule groaned away under its heavy burden. The Snakes who circled back later to scout reported in the afternoon that Frederick met his people halfway between the two camping places of the night before. "Come fast,” Wounded Crow said. He made the rapid passing sign with his hands. “Maybe tomorrow.” He grinned, as if it all were a very fine game. “If Jim Bridger sends us some more ponies when he gets my message . . " Mordecai said. Big Nose nodded glumly. Mordecai was at the head of the train when Rhoda came up beside him. He tried to ignore her, thinking of the way she had played up to Lajoie, and then to ' Beauregard. She wasn’t no fly-up- ' the-crick but she sure as hell was a flirt. After a time she said, "I sug- ' gested desertion to Lajoie." “What for?" 1 “So you wouldn’t kill him, or he might have killed you. Isn’t it simpler just to have him out of ’ the way?” j Mordecai was startled. She was not only looking like an Injun; she was thinking like one 1 too. “You or Big Nose would have , killed him,” Rhoda said. “Yup. Sr he takes two packers with him and three ponies.” “You said the packers were no ! good. Two of the ponies belonged to Lajoie. You’re even on ’ the third one because you’ve still > got one that was stolen by Shandy." 1 “You’ve got everything figured 1 out, ain’t you?” In spite of him- ’ self, Mordecai had to grin. ! Mordecai’* really got Rhoda interested. “I’m trying to determine whether you’re a savi age at heart or by necessity." she tells him, as Steve Frazee’s I rousing story of the West continues tomorrow. ilstributed by King Feature* Syndicate.
