Summer Arrives Summer arrived in Decatur at approximately IOiBO* p.m., Sunday and shortly afterward a much - needed shower followed. This has been the driest spring for Adams county farmers in several years. Last year, however, the big flood came during the first week of July, so it is still too early to predict the weather for this sum- ' mer - Did you ever wonder why it is that we have four seasons? If the earth’s axis were exactly perpendicular to the earth’s orbit around the sun, there would be_pflL change in seasons. In this area we would have perpetual?* spring, or fall, depending on what you wanted to call it. But actually the earth tilts 23 degrees and 27 minutes away from the" sun, and only “wiggles” on course twice a year—this year it was March 21 for the spring equinox and the fall equinox will be September 23. Last night the north pole was tilted 23 degrees and 27 minutes towards the sun, making the longst day and shortest night of the year. In December, the north pole will be pointed 23 degrees and 27 minutes in the opposite direction, causing winter here, and summer in the southern hemisphere. Seasons have been carefully calculated for thousands of years by agricultural peoples as a very useful way of knowing when to plant. Earliest calendars were based upon the flooding of the Nile river in Egypt, 6,000 ago. . • • • • Budgets Coming Up At the present time city, township, town, and county units of all types are preparing their budgets for 1960. These budgets, in turn, will determine, together with the recently completed assessment, the tax rate for next year. If you feel that certain things can be done more economically, that others are unnecessary, or more necessary than the present tix rate allows for, now is the time to speak up. Talk with your governmental representative now, before they, submit their budgets. Now is the time to make the changes, not later, after the tax rate is "" ann ounced. As each budget up during the month of July, it wilLbje/Carefully considered, and finally published in early August. Then public hearings will be held, and the public will felt out.' Actually, however, it is much easier to get a budget changed before it is made up than later, when the officials already have their minds fixed on certain goals. Changes made then are mainly “planned” changes, that is, reductions that are expected and allowed for. * So if you really want to do your community a favor go in this week and talk with your elected officials about • their budget for next year. Make certain th/t they are including all the necessary expenditures in the fields in ~ which the public is interested. That’s democracy in action.

Multiple Sclerosis Campaign Extended The fund' drive by the Adams county Multiple Sclerosis society will be extended to July *ls, according to an announcement today from Mrs. Vernon‘Hurst, president of the society. The state campaign has reached only one-half of its 1959 goal of $65,000. thus the reason for the extension. Mrs. Hurst, a ' victim of MS, who is confined to a wheel chair, said that the “Hope Chest" canisters will be picked up today as scheduled. She also expressed thanks to those who have contributed thus far and to those who have volunteered their efforts in promoting the campaign. The drive, which started on Mother’s day and was to have been concluded yesterday on Father’s day, netted about $32,500 throughout the state. More funds are needed for research and rehabilitation of the disease, which cripples the central nervous system of the victims. Most victims of the disease are yoeng adults in the 20-40 age bracket In the U. S. alone, 25ft--000 patients are under treatment, and a great many are young mothers. The MS “Father of the Year;” Walter A. Letzler, a Greencastle banker, was struck with MS when he was 29 years old. starting into a career as a newspaper. reporter. The affliction forced him to alter his career and he is now assistant vice-presi-dent of the bank. A report on the amount of money gained through the “Hope Chest” caaisters is forthcoming as are further plans of the county society to assist the state in attaining their much needed goal.

CHAPTER 31 NEW YORK CITY, November 15—Charles Pirozy, 60, was struck by an auto late last ntght and dragged tor two blocks before his limp body dropped from the hit-run vehicle, police believed. Pirozy, a resident of New Rochelle, was found unconscious in East Sixty-second Street about thirty feet east of Madison Avenue at 10:10 P.M. by a passerby. He died in an ambulance en routq to Roosevelt Hospital. At Sixtieth Street and Madison Avenue police found a hat and gloves which were identified as belonging to the dead man. Police said Pirozy apparently was hit by a car at that corner as he emerged from his office in the building there. He was then carried on the front of the auto to Sixty-second Street. When the car turned east into Sixty-second Street, they theorized, the body teas dislodged and dropped off. Bruno Manfredi put down the newspaper clipping and picked up the police report. “That’s a great way to go, he said to Murray Kirk. “What’s thia report say about it?” “A lot,” Murray said, “considering there were no eyewitnesses. The car was * last year’s model, green sedan, and it was going more than forty at the moment of Impact.” “Haw’d they find that out?” "Condition of the body, some paint stains on his coat that they analyzed, some other little things. You can’t get away with anything nowadays. Remember that, next time you aim at a pedestrian.” "I’m like that with pedestrians," said Bruno. “But what’s it all add up to? What makes you think the car is up in the Catskills right now?" “Because as soon as this happened, the police were out looking for it, and a smart marr" would hide it out at the Acres, where nobody would think to look. You know, it’s funny the way that car jumped into my mind as soon as Megan Harlingen remembered about Pirozy. That is, it’s funny the way the picture of wo car / came into my mind. It’s like that Sherlock Holmes bit where they broke the case because the dog didn’t bark. Did you ever read any Sherlock Holmes?” “When would I get time to read anything t" Bruno said. He walked to the window of the office and drew aside a corner of the curtain to look down at the street “What a life," he said. “Yesterday we’re running to get away from George Wykoff. Tod# you cal! him up to wait downstairs so Pm scared to even move out of here. I wish we eould go down now, and get it over with. How much longer do we have to wait, anyhow?” .

Girl Scouts, Brownies Enjoy Annual Day Camp

By Barbara Fiechter Sunburn and mosquito bites Just seem to go along with camping. But when camping also offers a program of recreation, learning about campers in other countries, and getting to know your fellow campers better, you don’t mind that! This is the attitude of the 70 girls who attended Girl Scout day camp at Hanna-Nuttman park last week —and judging from the looks of the handicraft work of their younger sisters, the Brownies, .it may well have been the Brownies’ attitude toward their day damp, which ended the previous week. ‘‘Never mind those mosquitoes and sunburns— they’re minor happenings.” is what the faces of the girls seemed to say when a reporter visited their camp. The daily programs were centered on an international theme, as international friendship is one of the 12 division in which a Girl Scout may earn her proficiency badges. A visitor strolling past the various classes might hear anything from singing of the German melody “Tannenbaum” to clapping and dancing to an American square dance. Each day six types of classes were scheduled, and leaders could key these to the international theme: camp crafts, singing, dancing, dramatics, archery, and handicraft. During* a day Ya typical troop might go to four’of these, as to singing in the rnormng, and handicraft, dancing and \ramatics in the afternoon. Each tr&op was also responsible for cooping and serving the noon meal one day during the week-long camp. Fireplace building was the handicraft class work after Tuesday. And they weren’t building just small fireplaces, but one big one to go with the equipment at the Girl Scout shelter. A pulpittype fireplace, the scouts made chinked log walls lined with stone. Begun Tuesday, when the logs were delivered, the fireplace was finished by Friday. During their day, camp the Brownie Scouts made plaster of Paris molds and tin can stoves as part of their handcraft classes. Working with the plaster, the Brownies put the plaster in a small

the Acres and says he located the car. Figuring it took him two hours to drive up there and another halt-hour to hunt around, it shouldn’t be long now." ”1 hope you're right," Bruno said, his eyes still fixed on the street. “Look at that! A cop walks ‘ right by and don’t even give him : a ticket. You got to be in a big limousine not to get a ticket tor ’ parking like that. Now the chauffeur’s getting out again to wipe , the hood; that makes three times I already. Say, Is he the guy that • flattened you?" “He’s the one." I “Such a little guy ?He must be r a head shorter than you.” i “He said he used to be a fighti er. I believe him." > “Even so," Bruno said. Then he ’ shrugged in self-deprecation. “Ah, ( what am I talking about? When I 1 was a kid I went into the Golden Gloves once, and I only lasted uh- > til the other guy had a chance to > catch up to me. He was a little t guy, too, but what a monster! I’m ' telling you, Murray, he had hair r all over him like an ape; you stick a glove into him it was like stick- • ing it into a haystack. And all he . wanted to do was kill me. I knew , it right from the bell, so I— * ! The telephone clicked demand- • ingly, and Murray reached for it “That’s Rigaud," he said. “Go out to the switchboard and listen in 1 on the extension there." He heard Bruno pick up the re- ; ceiver of the extension as Miss ’ Whiteside’s voice came lilting over the wire. “It’s your can, Mr. Kirk. Mr. Rigaud calling person-to-per-I son from the Acres," and immedi- , ately after, Rigaud’s voice broke in. "It’s me, Mr. Kirk, and the car’s here, the way you said." “Where are you calling from?" Murray asked. “Can anyone hear you?” “No, Tm in one of the stores here in the hotel" “AH right, how does the car look?” J “It’s a green sedan, last year’s model. There’s a wrinkle and some scrapes on the right front fender, stiU fresh, no rust marks yet There’s a littlfe dent in the grille next to it and some stains on the grille that’re probably blood. And the headlight on that side is twisted oft base a couple of inches. I don’t think anybody's been near this Job since It was put here." “Did you find out who put ft there?" “Yes, one of the garage hands was called down to New York to pick it up in a rush the Saturday right after Thanksgiving. He said they told him to pick It up in a garage in the city and just run it back here and put it away.” “Who told-him to do that?”

rourid foil pan, apd pressed objects such as leaves and decorative stones into it, making a decorative plaque when the plaster dried. With the free time left after classes and cooking duties, a favorite pastime of the girls was hiking. Important parts of the day’s program were the opening and closing flag raising and lowering ceremonies. The Girl Scouts, at the end of their day, before the American and Girl Scout flags were lowered, read the Girl Scout promises over, in the words the promises are read in other countries, to see how the wording differs even in sentences which have basically the same ideas. When Mr. and Mrs. Henry Husmann and their daughter visited the day camp Wednesday afternoon, the girls had a chance to ask direct questions about another country. Mr. Husmann, an interior decorator whose native country is Germany, gave a brief talk about his country and then answered the questions the Girl Scours were eager to ask. In Germany, the people eat five times a day, he told about 50 scouts and leaders who had gathered for the special program at the Girl Scout cabin. After a murmur of “oh’s” and “ah’s” rippled through the room, the girls wanted to know what kind of money was used in Germany. The mark, the German unit of money, is worth about 25 cents here, he said. “Do you have hard work?" one scout wanted to know. Work in Germany is harder than it is here, Mr. Husmann commented, for there is a longer work day there. However, he added, the goods the German people make are of a better quality. and sell better on the international market than, say, British goods would, for the German manufacturers take more time in making their articles. Asked to say something in German. Mr. Husmann looked toward the back of the room and said, “Schatzchen, Komm...” and his little daughter ran toward the front of the room. In turn, the Scouts sang their own version of the German melody, “Tannenbaum,’’ and told him about their international chalet in Switzerland and the American legend of Johnny Apple-

“He said it was a Mr. Bindlow. He's the big cheese around here." “Bindlow ?” Murray’s heart sank. "Are you sure about that?” “Yes, but he said the car don’t belong to Mr. Bindlow. He says it belongs to another one of the bosses around here. Ira Miller." Murray’s heart rebounded. It took him a second to find his voice. “That’s great, Gene. That’s fine work. Now what you do is this. Get to the nearest town there —there is a town around there, isn’t there?” “Yes, about two miles away.” “Good. Get over there and talk to the sheriff --ft the police chief or whatever he is. Tell him —” Bruno’s voice suddenly cut in. “Hold it, Murray. Anybody from the Acres can buy and sell those local cops for a dime. You don’t want them; you want the State Police. You hear me, Gene?” “Sure," said Rigaud. “I go to the State Police, and then what? Hey, is that you, Bruno? Jeez, you ought to see this place here. It’s—” Murray said sharply, “What is this, Old Home Week? Listen to me, Rigaud. Get the license number of that ear and then head foe the nearest State Police barracks. Show them the New York police report on the accident, give them the license number and description of the car, and tell them you want ft impounded immediately. Tell them it they have any questions about it to can here and ask for Mrs. Knapp. Do you have that straight?" “I got ft, Mr. Kirk.” Murray put down the phone as Bruno ambled back into the room and closed the door behind him. He looked at Murray musingly. “Ira Miller," he said. “Ira Miller,” said Murray. “That’s what I meant when I was telling you about the Sherlock Holmes bit As soon as the Harlingen girl spoke her piece I remembered there was one thing missing from your report on Miller. No car. No car at all. How likely is that for a man like Miller? Especially when he has to travel back and forth to the Acres on business every so often. The dog that didn’t bark, and the ear that wasn’t there.” “AD right," said Bruno, “you’ve got the car and you’ve got Miller. But Lundeen’s till up the ereek, and Miller's still safe on high ground. What about that?” "Let me answer a question with a question," Murray said. "Do you play checkers?” “Sure, I play checkers.” "AH right, that’s what we’re going to do with them now.” Murray moves first but meets his match in George Wykoff as “The Eighth Circle” reaches a stirring ctfanac bees tomorrow. -- —'

seed. The group had learned about the Girl Scout international chalet Monday, when the day’s activities centered around Switzerland. The chalet is a lodge in Switzerland where Girl Scouts may stay, for instance, when they are on long camping trips. A similar Girl Scout lodge on the North American continent is in Mexico. Tuesday was inspection day at the camp, with the visit of the Girl Scout professional who helps the day camp directors of the Limberlost council in plannning the 19 day camps for some 1500 girls in this area. Day camp closed for the year with a swim at the city pool for both the Brownies and the Girl Scouts, and a program at the shelter, house at noon. The girls dedicated the fireplace they had completed, and began the “first fire,” with a ceremony. Although day camp has closed now, Girl Scout leaders are planning a weekly cook-out and nature afternoon on Thursdays, beginning at 2 p.m., to continue with the Girl Scouts’ training in the out-of-doors.
