Ever hear the argument that we shouldn’t sell the electric plant because, “it will throw a lot of people out of jobs?’’ ' First, of all, there are 18 employes, grand total, with the electric utility. Os these, actual linemen and meter readers who are under 65 will be offered jobs, at higher wages, with Indiana-Michigan, mostly right here in Decatur. Others have been offered substantially better employment elsewhere. And other city departments are expected to absorb everyone else who is able to work at all. Those employed by I&M will get better wages, overtime after eight hours a day, double time after 16 hours, overtime for more than 40 hours a week, and double time for work on Sundays or holidays. They will get special insurance, retirement pay, and all the other fringe benefits. And what about those that go to other employment because their jobs are discontinued? They will get severence pay, amounting to 30 weeks pay if they have been employed ten years. What Will happen if you vote not to sell? The same employes will be retained, the others released to other city jobs. The same pay, no severence pay for the oldtimers, or any of the others. No better jobs at higher wages for those continued in employment. No fringe benefits of any kind for anyone. If you are sincerely interested in the welfare of the city electric utility workers, you must vote for the sale. And another thing. Do you realize that in this subdistrict Decatur will be away and by far the largest city on I&M power. It is quite possible that any future I&M office would be located here, rather than in Bluff- • ton, Berne, or Geneva. This would mean more business. Does I&M buy its trucks, etc., from local dealers, ! or from wholesalers? They -buy strictly from local dealers. Only their 5,O0() mile checkup on trucks is done away from their city of operation. This would mean more and more business for Decatur dealers, through competitive bidding, the same way that the city buys, when it can afford to buy. If we keep the plant, the margin will be so close for the next 25 years that little new equipment will be purchased. The city has attempted for the past 20 years to run as economically as possible. They have secured the very best engineer, and neither Democrats nor Republicans have ever fjred him, or suggested firing him. He has done the best job that the city councils and the board of works would allow him. He has not been able to make repairs when he desired, nor to keep lines in good condition. He has not been able to keep the council from transferring funds at-wjll, at least up until 1953, from the electric utility. But remember this. Neither will his successor! Under Indiana law, the mayor, city council and board of works is responsible for controlling the electric utility. This cannot be changed’, no matter if an engineer is paid SIOO,OOO a year. He will still not have the final say. Politics will rule, if the plant is kept. When anyone talks to you about keeping the plant, without showing you figures in black and white that show exactly how repairs can be financed, lines maintained, a substation built, and future use allowed for ask yourself this: Is he sincerely interested, or is he attempting to justify a mistake made in the past that cannot possibly be corrected now ?

John Smith To Go With New Western By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Ever wonder what happens to a TV western star when his series is unhorsed? He heads right back into another horse opera. Such is the case with John Smith who co-starred with George Montgomery in ‘‘Cimarron City” which was put out to pasture after 33 segments. With reruns it will stagger through the summer months before collapsing altogether. Smith, a blond “anyone for tennis” kind of character, will roll up his sleeping bag and six guns and head for “Laramie,” which happens to be the title of the new oater. Hour-Long Epic ■Scheduled to hit the coaxial cable next fall, “Laramie” is an hour long epic to be filmed in color for NBC. Actor Smith is unconcerned about "Cimarron City’s” demise. He was unhappy with the alter-nating-lead arrangement with Montgomery. "I wouldn’t want to be in the position again of competing with another actor for tire same scripts, ’ he said “There’s bound to be friction and trouble with two leading men. When a good script came along we were equally capable of playing the role, but tho decision was never mine. - “ Laramie’ will also alternate leads, but whoever is selected to play the other leading man won't appear in the same sequences that I do. —— Week Separate Shows “We’ll work it like they do on ’Maverick.’ Each of us will star in separate shows instead of assuming major and minor roles in the same show.’ Smith flashed a toothpaste-ad smile and launched info a pitch for the new program. He said, “it will deal with human relationships something like the fatherson combination in ‘Rifleman’.” Instead of a father, or a son, John will work with a kid brother whom he is trying to raise to

CHAPTER 34 1! 'T’HREE HORNS and Catch-a- 1 1 Fish and some of the other Indian chiefs looked at Baptiste Lajoie for just an Instant; Terror ' leaped across their faces. “Spot- j ted death!" Catch-a-Fish cried. With shouts of’ fear and anger the Indians spun their horses and went streaking from the American Fur Co. camp, Tom Fitzpatrick with them. Emil Frederick was the last to see Lajoie. For just a moment he, too, was taken in, and then his cold, hard mind brushed the initial shock away. He smeared his hand across Lajoie’s face, cursing wildly when he saw the mixture of vermilion and bacon grease come off on his fingers. “Hold on!* he yelled at the Indiana He tried to run after them on foot, and then he veered off and grabbed a hunter’s pony and went racing up the slope to the north. A three-deep line of mounted Snakes and Bannocks came to the top of the hill and stopped. Frederick hauled his pony in. He tried to shout his case, but the chiefs had seen what they had seen. They waved him back. He saw how hopeless, and how dangerous, it was when the Indians began to dismount. This was no shoot-and-run wunch. They were in unholy earnest any time they got off their ponies tor a fight. By* jiminy, they meant to stop the American Co. pack train where it was! Old Three Homs shook out a Crow warbonnet from its case and put it on. It was more than time to go, Frederick knew. He rode back to camp and was dismounting when one of his hunters came loping through the camp, yelling his name. “Now what?” Frederick growled. “Hudson's Bay!” The hunter pointed west toward the foothills of the Wind “The British got a pack train four miles away, pointing for rendezvous." It was then that Lajoie staggered out of the trees. “Smallpox!" a packer exclaimed. He began to back away from Lajoie. “Vermilion, you fool!" Frederick yelled. His mind began to recover from the shocking news of Hudson's Bay. “Where’s Ree Semple? Bring him here!" By then Ree was at least fourr teen minutes away, with an oil! skin packet of bacon grease' mixed with vermilion, pointing as fast as his pony could stand toward the Hudson’s Bay pack train. The packers reported that Ree was gone. “Where's the woman?” Frederick asked. She was gone, too. A missionary. 1 should have known, Frederick thought Missionary, hell! The two of them were Rocky Mountain. Co. spies, and they’d pulled a trick that would make men laugh from this From the novel published by Th« 1

It’s strictly a character role, but important to each story line.” If “Laramie” pulls an el foldo, a la “Cimarron City," Smith sees no reason why he should not mosey on to still another western. —O I Household Scrapbook ] I By ROBERTA LEE I r Wrinkled Patterns If the pattern is wrinkled and one attempts to cut out a garment from this, the chance of success isn't too bright.

day on whenever they saw Emil Frederick. a._ y Boldness would work about aa good aa most anything, Ree Semple figured. He was some late hitting the Hudson’s Bay camp, but he reckoned he could depend op Jim Bridger and Milt Sublette keeping the powwow going until things was proper fixed. Old Gabe and Sublette were doing just that when Ree came upon the scene. Bell Rock and some of the Snake chiefs were with them, out from the camp quite a jump. They had James Mcllvane and three of his men stood off some distance, but it was a powwow just the same. The camp itself was setting up tight for defense. They didn’t come apart easy, these Hudson’s Bay outfits. Bold as all hell would do her, Ree figured. He kept dodging along the edge of the pack herd men were bringing in. He kept in the open as much as he could, walking easy as you please through the camp, until he was sure Bridger had seen him. Mollvane’s tent wps 'way up front toward the head of the shebang. Ree put an eye on that, and what came to him then was fairly pleasing. He went along like he had a heap at business, or like he owned a great big share of Hudson’s Bay Co., including this outfit and half of Fort Vancouver. He came up beside an Iroquois who was lying with his rifle

stuck across a pile of firewood, facing toward the powwow. Without looking directly at him, Ree stopped and said, "No fight. Talk. I Talk tin night." i The Iroquois grunted. “Medicine" water. Heap medicine water in Red Man’s lodge. : No fight Much talk." Ree didn’t have to look to know it was ’ working. He heard the moist i sound of the Indian rolling his s Mpa. “Get medicine water. Good.” ■ Ree went on slowly. He heard the shush of the man’s moccasins be- • hind him. When he came to Mcllvane’s ■ tent Ree crouched near the en- ' trance, holding his rifle toward the powwow. He took a casual ■ look around him. Here's where - she was tickling close. The Iro- ! quota was settled down in the - grass near the backside of the tent Ree saw Old Gabe reach up r and mash his hat some, like it I wasn’t getting just right n ThpJVas when Ree disappeared [ 'tato Mcllvane’s tent The IroI quois was wriggling under the e back wall, his brown eyes darting around the interior as he ! looked for medicine water.

dßee hit him on the head with hip - -ifla barret With an eye toward i voiding waste, Ree aet the gurgling bottle upright before be drew out his vermilion mixture and went to work. Take the Iroquois, good hunters though they were, they were always giving the British trouble with their thieving ways. This one had got into some of that poisoned medicine water that caused , the spotted death—and look how , quick he got sick! Ree poured some more out of , the bottle and set it close to the Indian’s hand. He went under the ’ backside of the tent. They were . coming from the powwow, riding ' down to inspect the camp. Without hurrying, Ree walked 1 away. Two bottles of McDvane’s 1 brandy clinked a little under his j shirt. He was getting on his pony 1 in the trees when the excitement f broke out at McDvane’s tent »• • • ' Mordecal Price had to admit that this was sure some, this I rendezvous, even while he set 1 like a lone old buffler bull kicked out of the herd. From Jim Bridger’s lodge he . could see the whole shebang, the trading down there at the robeg covered pole counter, the fighting , and cavorting here and there, the i free trappers strutting around ’ with strouding tied on ’em fit » to kill.

She made a plumb big sound, this rendezvous, with the yelling and singing and whooping. More and more of the Bannocks and Snakes had been sneaking away from their jobs of holding back the Hudson’s Bay Co. and the American Fur Co. pack trains. Like as not in a day or two the whole kit and caboodle of them would be gone, and then the other trains could come in as they pleased. The Injuns would light out, though, when those trains started moving. The Injuns • wasn’t having anything to do with smallpox even when it was all talk and vermilion. Wouldn’t do Jim McDvane or Emil Frederick much good to come to rendezvous now, though. Rocky Mountain Fur Co. had taken the top off things in a hurry. She started at four pints for a plew, the trading did, which put a tolerable looseness into things right off. Down to one or two pints now. Mordecai knew he ought to feel fine. He didn’t. By turning some he could have looked to where Elisha Slocum and the other preacher, Arnwine, were lecturing three Flatheads who had sneaked off and got drunk. Mordecai didn’t want to look. For Rhoda Marsh’s lodge was up there, too. Mordecai feels he’s got to tell . Rhoda: “I got to tell you something. Was U back in the settlements, or even was I working around a fort somewhere, Td be real set against yon marrying Slocum.” The story reaches a climax tomorrow. •tribute* by Kins Vestures Syndicate.

Pet Store Manager Is Bird Specialist By GAY PAULEY UPI Womens Editor NEW YORK (UPI) -X Dorothy L. Bader doesn’t bet a deftlymascaraed eyelash when people call her “the bird woman." Her job is with pets — thousands of them from parakeets to a wolf-whistling mynah named '‘Charlie" — and she loves it. “You ought to do a story on this woman,” said our office receptionist, Frances Mullaney, back from a lunch hour of shopping. “I was in Macy’s and here was the manager 'of its pet shop looking more like a model than anything else." So. A trip to the fourth floor of the store, which claims it has tire largest pet department in the country. Experts With Pete Miss Bader proved to look as Frances said — very tall, very blonde, very blue-eyed, very pretty. Also, very expert with pets. “Like to see a canary take a nap?”, she asked. With that, a gentle hand reached into a cage full of our fine feathered friends, pulled out a surprised canary. Within .seconds, the tiny bit of yellow fluff was lying flat on its back in her open palm, its legs stuck skyward, and settled down for a snooze. “All in knowing how to handle birds,” she smiled. “The ’art comes with time, patience and fortitude." Charlie Not At Home “I would like you to meet Charlie. but he’s out today, on loan for an exhibit. Charlie is my own mynah, but I leave him here at the shop most of the Ume. “He has a vocabulary of 75 phrases, including “Where’s everybody going?’, ‘What’r the matter?’, and •‘Hello, baby.’ When he lets go with his wolf whistle, you can hear him practically to Gimbel's.” At one time, she said, Macy’s had a rather pompous minor executive who often visited the pet center. He apparently got on Charlie’s nerves, but Charlie kepi his peace until one day he loosened up enough to yell, “Aw, shedd up." Dorothy Bader, a native of Detroit, studied at the University of Michigan, and once planned to be a veterinarian. Had To Quit College Family circumstances caused her to quite college and go to work as a bird specialist with the Hartz Mountain Seed Co. Ten years ago, she joined Macy’s, and for three years has managed the department, buying birds, tropical fish and accessories for dogs, cats and other assorted pets. She lives in a four-room apartment, tenanted also by five canaries and six parakeets.“I guess I just like birds,” said Miss Bader, as she pointed to some of the varieties which make good household pets.
