For The Kids Very quietly Thursday afternoon a group of Decatur men gave their spare time to fix up a ball diamond for the kids. The Homestead Little League baseball diamond has never drained properly, because of a number of low spots in th field. Also, there was no water at the field for the thirsty and tired boys. So after some preliminary plans, Herb Banning, Norm Steury, and Bob Gay, together with Harry and Virgil Bower’s ditching machine and an assistant, all furnished free, went to work. First they put in 350 feet of drain tile, so that the field would drain properly. This tile was furnished by the city. Then they put in 150 feet of water pipe, also furnished by the city, to a place where a fountain will be, and tapped it. The fountain will be in Monday or Tuesday.— • \ — A large number of Little Leaguers use the diamond, and it will be much more usable now that it has been fixed up. There is some work remaining to be done, but It wqn’t be long before Decatur can be proud of its baseball areas. Decaur should be proud of its public-spirited citizens who take the initiative and plan things like this, It helps keep down the cost of government (it is a city park), it gets the job done, and it trains community leaders. • • • • Mowing Lawns > Most of the citizens of Decatur take extra care with their lawns, creating flower borders, and doing everything possible to beautify their property. The finest home in the world looks shabby iLthe yard is overgrown, or not trimmed properly. But it is a constant irritation to home owners who spend time and effort night after night in their yards to have this nullified by the carelessness of neighboring property owners. It is a shame for this to happen. It not only decreases the value?of the property in question. It angers the neighbors, aiS? causes hard feelings that may not even be realized\y the errant property owner. The latv ihl)ecat ur provides for the city to mow any property not kept up, and to then charge the owner. The present rate for this is $5 an hour. If your neighbor complains about your property, the charge may be assessed against you by the city.

20 Years Ago Today O’. ■ O June 12, 1939—Unseasonably cool weather hit Decatur over the weekend, with the thermometer hitting only 58 above at 8 o’clock this morning, 23 degrees below the previous day. Thirty-five Decatur Boy Scouts attended the annual area camporee at Ligonier. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to the graduates of the U.S. Military Academy. At least six persons were killed and scores injured by severe through the midwest. Great Britain is reported as quietly mobilizing a formidable army. o — o Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE | ot—« o Hot Water Bottle It is not necessary tb fill the water bag to capacity, as this only makes it bulky, and it is no hotter than a lighter bottle. After pouring the water into the bag, press the sides to expel the gas and steam before putting in the stopper. There will then be less strain to the seams of the bag when in use. White Satin Collar A white satin collar can be cleaned by rubbing with bread crumbs which have a little moisture. White kid gloves can also be freshened in this way. Baking Dishes The brown stains on baking dishes can be removed by letting them stand over qjght in a rather strong solution of borax and water. COURT NEWS Marriage Application The Rev.

CHAPTER 28 | AS THEY drove through the tunnel into Manhattan, Bruno Manfredi said, “Where to?” and Murray Kirk said, “Make it your place. Wykoff might check ,the iffice and the hotel in a little ivhile, and I don’t want to he wound when he does. Meanwhir we can look over these papers and see what they’re about” “If that’s what you want,” said Bruno. Lucy Manfredi was seated at the kitchen table J rmking coffee when they walked tn. In a pair of worn slippers, ner housedress down at the hem, her hair tn pin curlers, and with a newspaper propped before her against the sugar bowl she looked like an exaggerated picture of weary domesticity. She raised her eyebrows at the sight of her husband’s companion. “Well, what do you know?" she said caustically. "Lgpk at the great man himself. I’m surprised he even came in here when one of my ugly girl friends might jump out of the closet and grab him.” She pointed an accusing finger at Murray. “You got a perve, you, with that kind of talk. You ought to be ashamed.” "Me?” said Murray. "What did I do?” "You know. He knows, too.” Lucy turned the finger on Bruno. "Didn’t you tell me—”' Bruno sighed. "I told you. Now let him alone, because he’s already got a girl friend. And what’s it your business, anyhow ? Just fix up some coffee for us, and stop worrying about who's getting married to who. Or would you rather nave a shot of hard stuff?” he asked Murray. "A shot,” Miirray said. He had one. and then another, while Lucy regarded him with unabashed interest, her elbow planted on the table, chin cupped In ner hand. "Who’s the girl friend?" She asked. "The crazy one from Texas you had here that time?” , . "Maybe.” ••Maybe. Ah, you’re still talking like that, Murray: you're still old Mr. Careful. Say, you know what 1 think? 1 think you’re turning Into one of those guys who’s so scared of marrying the wrong girl they never get married at all. You wait and see if that don’t happen." "All right, if that’s what you want. I’ll wait and see.” "Look,” said Bruno, "1 told you to let him alone. Now will you clear up this table so we can get some work done? And then go Inside and watch television." Lucy deposited dishes in the sink with a clatter, then plopped herself down into her chair and [licked up the newspaper, defying them. Bruno said helplessly to Murray. "If you want me to fix ud a table inside—” -

the defendant in the Mary Ladd vs John Hoffman case by Hoffman's attorneys. The complaint involves an automobile accident which occurred August 11, 1958, at the intersection of Monroe and Seventh streets. Mortgage Foreclosure A complaint was filed Thursday to foreclose a chattel mortgage by the plaintiff, Roy L. Price, against the defendants, Lorenzo and Elizabeth Esparza. A summons was issued to the Adams county sheriff f ordered returnable Sept. 8. Divorce Case In a case venued from Jay circuit court, an absolute decree was granted to Marguerite S. Beals from Adelbert W. Beals. The court allowed the plaintiff care and custody of the minor child, a property settlement including S2OO for attorney fees. S3O weekly support for the mother and child, and other incidental expenses. The defendant will be allowed to visit the child at times approved by the court. Note Complaint Hubert R.

"No," Murray said. “It’s all right the way it is." •Thank you.” said Lucy from behind the newspaper. Murray laid the binder on the table. The sneets of paper it enclosed were tissue thin, but even when pressed tight together they bulked as large as a good-sized volume. Bruno drew up a cnair alongside Murray's, and they studied the first pages together. "It’s from this year. ” Bruno said, “but that's all 1 can make of it. What do you make of it?” The pages were divided into a series of 'columns, each column a solid row of figures. Murray ran his finger along the Horizontally ruled line at the top of a i page ano said, “Some of it is 1 easy. We’ll skip this first one—11B1—because that’s probably a code for the exact date. But then we've got $220 under gr, which must be the gross receipts tor that day, and $l4O under nt. which would be the net amount left after nets were paid off, and then Immediate Cash Expenses. which, I'd say, is incidental expenses they deducted from the net. And next we nave 13E277, which is a code for something else. What we want to work out first are these dates. Then when we hit May third and see a thousand bucks marked down there we know* we’ve got Lundeen pegged right. He probably took a lot of graft, but the only payment that means anything to this indictment is the one on May third.” “Wait a second," Bruno said. He peered closely at the page. “1 thought so. Somebody's got a real sense of humor in that outfit. You know what Immediate Cash Expenses stands for?" "Sure. It’s outlay. Whatever it cost that day to run the operation.” ♦ “And how. You look at those initials there, friend, and you’re looking at i-C-E for Ice. The old payola. The graft. And right next to it here, Murray, these are shield numbers. They marked down the number of every cop who collected from them.. That’s what this 13E277 is. Now why should they want to go to all that trouble? What difference does it make, as long as the pay-off was made?” “A lot of difference. Every cop whose number is down here must have been a bagman, a captain’s man,- and his job was to collect and pass it along to the man over him. But what happens when some big shot says to Wykoff, 'You missed a payment last week. ’How about that?’ Then all Wykoff has to do is check his records here and say, 'We paid bntf hundred bucks or whatever it was to a cop with this shield number.’ And they catch the double-crosser right at the source.” "Do you mean that ’ Lundeen—?” "That’s what 1 mean.

Schmitt vs Severin H, Schurger. as prosecuting attorney for the 26th judicial court, case, the trial date was Set for June 18, at 9:30 a.m. The plaintiff is asking for a restricted operator’s license. Estate Cases The estate of Mary Largent was closed Thursday after all legal requirements had been complied with by the court and interested parties. The inheritance tax appraiser’s report in the Elmer Luginbill esshowed a value of $10,327.99 ■With no tax due. The court allowed that the estate pay $lO to the county for the appraiser’s fee. In the Rufina Stucky estate a petition was filed and approved allowing the executor to pay as directed in the decedent's will. The court directed the payment of $1,300 to the decedents sister, Mrs. Mary Moser, as stipulated in the will.

collected from Miller, all right, but he tried to keep it all himself instead of passing it on to . the higher-ups. He was a marked man after that: the word must have gone out to get him as soon as anybody nad a chance. And when LoScalzo grabbed Miller, that was Miller’s chance.” Bruno said with awe: “What a beautiful setup. What a beautiful, beautiful setup.” ! “Look, Bruno,” Murray said ■ “This date thing doesn’t make | sense. Here it starts with 1181 and figuring il for the month ] and 1 for the day you’ve got November first. But the series runs up to 11838, so that’s out, because no month has thirty-eight days. Right ?*’ | “Yeah, but suppose that B is the day, and—no, that don't make sense, either.- Anyhow, what've I they got all these B’s for ? The I whole page is full of them. The ' whole book.” Bruno flipped through some pages and then stopped short. "Wait a minute. Here's an M. Maybe there’s some others, too.” He went through the pages more slowly. "Sure there is. Here’s S, and herd's Q, and, here's X." Murray checked them off on his fingers. "B, M, Q, S, and X. Five of them. The five boroughs — . Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and X for the Bronx. Now get some pencils and paper. They might help us.” They didn’t At the end of an hour of experimentation, with dates substituted for numbers and then applied to a section of the book at random, the problem looked hopeless. "1 think the best thing to do,” said Bruno, "is get this Lundeen’s shield number, and then go through the whole book and hope it turns up somewhere.” » "No. I think I’ve got it now,” said Murray. “We've got to put down Lundeen in code and see if he's here. That was May third m Manhattan—let’s try 53M — he collected a thousand dollars graft, - and his shield number—l think it was 32C something-or-other.” Bruno was following this with a pencil. "Let’s try postal distrlcts now." said Murray “Miller's district was number 19—so we look through the records for 53M19.” Bruno th (imbed through the pages of the binder, squinting at them closely. Then tie stopped and looked around at' Murray. "Friend,” he said, "meet Mr. Miller and Patrolman Lundeen.” 63M1& the line read: gr 9870 nt 9tfßo 91000—32C7t0. Who can be sure of a woman’s reactions In any circumstances? Whether Ruth Vincent will love Murray or hate him for uncovering this evidence of Lundeen’s guilt is an intriguing question.

Modern Etiquette I i By ROBERTA LEE i o- — " —o Q. What would be the wording of an invitation to a double wedding of two sisters? A. “Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thompson request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughters, Grace EHen to Mr. John Henry Jones, and Margaret Anne to Mr. Richard Lee Jordan, etc.” . Q. The young man I am going out with is very sloppy and careless in his dress. How can I tactfully let him know that I like men who look well groomed? A. Maybe, if you will persistently point out to him this and that man who is neat and well groomed, you can gradually make him aware of his shortcoming. Q. If one is writing a letter to a girl of 12 or 14, should one ad-, dress it merely “Mary Johnson”? A. Nd; the prefix “Miss” should be used even for a very young girl.
