Most of us who plan to live here in Decatur for any length of time don’t have any intentions of things getting worse. So, looking to the future with high expectations, let’s go. We need some new industry. Every one can help in that department by being personal good will agents of Decatur. We’ve got the railroads, and highways—the land is here. There’s no reason not to expect industrial growth. Schools are expanding—they will have to continue, both with added physical plants and more facilities and opportunities for the youth. Recreational facilities need growth. From ball parks to swimming pools, we ll have to work together to grow. A county junior college for the future is a worthwhile dream. Progress and modernization in the stores will have to keep pace with the rest of the growth. This is still a land of opportunity, and if Decatur wants to grow and push ahead, nothing will stop . it. Not if we all get in and work. Why not ? • • • • x A Tribute Many cities boast as being the home of some famous writer, a great war hero, or maybe even a hot rock and roll singer. Right off hand, can’t recall that Decatur can brag of any of these. Decatur has had it’s great men, though. They might not have been great in the sense of world-wide fame. Theirs was a greatness that takes a little looking, a little time to appreciate. French Quinn was one of these men. Lawyer, writer, historian, philospher, he was Decatur for many years. John Heller was one of the best. Politics, business, the betterment of Decatur, these were his trades. Few men gain half the respect he commanded. Dr. Noah Bixler ranged from optometry to a Rocky Mountain guide. And his efforts for the bettermeht of the Decatur library are already ■> legend. These are only a few. The sum total of their donations to our heritage will probably never be fully appreciated. They aren’t the type to brag of their achievements. They aren’t the type to build monuments for. Their monuments are already built, in the fine things of Decatur.

No Special Session Os Assembly likely CADOX 'R COLUMN By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— There will be no special session of the Indiana General Assembly to expedite the Indiana seaport, despite the drive at Sen. Earl Landgrebe (R-Valparaiso) to bring the lawmakers back to Indianapolis for an extraordinary meeting, according to all indications today. Landgrebe, who lives not far from the proposed Burns Ditch harbor in Porter County, has proposed a special one-day session confined exclusively to the port question. He advocated the deletion of one line from the budget action of the 1957 Legislature which appropriated two million dollars for the harbor but which stipulated that the money would not be released until the Army Engineers approved the enterprise. Landgrebe said that if the restrictive spending clause is removed .the two millions could be turned over to the Indiana Harbor and Terminals Board for a preliminary 1 survey. Would Slow Park “If we did that, I believe we would slow down any efforts of the federal government to set up a national park in the area proposed for the harbor and steel mills. Landgrebe declared. Governor Handley last week rejected Landgrebe’s appeal for the extraordinary session on the grounds that the port could not be built without federal_jgpß.roval. That was not the only reason for the turndown. Any Indiana governor who has retained his faculties is automatically opposed to a special session, especially after sweaUng through two regular meetings of the lawmakers, as has Handley,. It is impossible to restrict a Legislature to one proposal, especially since the. Senate is barely controlled by the Republicans and the House is overwhelmingly Democratic. To assemble the lawmakers would be like opening a Pandora’s box from which the most vexatious problems and outlandish proposals could emerge. There could be a repetition of the “right to work” law fight with its possible repeal, especially in view of the State Appellate Court’s decision which diluted that statute’s strengh. We migh have a prolonged reenactment of the battle for legislative reapportionment, a possibility enchanced by trtt fact that the

CHAPTER 35 T7ELIX LoSCALZO was evidentr iy someone who not only hated loopholes, but also the people who clumsily left them open. He glared angrily at Ralph Harlingen, but Harlingen shook his head regretfully. “I did not charge that Ira Miller drove the car that killed Charles Pirozy,” he said. "He did not. But there was someone else —someone whose every interest was bound up with his, who knew every facet of his life, who knew all about the hold Pirozy bad on him, and most tragically, who decided out of absolute and unquestioning love that the one way to ever break that hold was to run down and kill Charles Pirozy." There was a crash. Pearl Miller stood at the door, an empty tray in her hands, shattered cups and saucers at her feet, a dark stain of coffee creeping outward in the rug beneath them. Then the tray clattered to the floor, and she clapped her hands over her ears as if to shut out what she nad heard and all comprehension of it. "Ira,” she cried out, and all the agony of the ultimate betrayal was in her voice, "you said you’d never tell! You said you’d never tell!" And her answer was not to anything MiUer said, but In the look on his face then. Whatever the man was, Murray Kirk saw, whatever he had been or would be, there would always be a place for him in Purgatory and a chance for the long climb out of it. Ira Miller was a man completely in love with his wife. Near Broadway was an Automat still open, and while Ralph Harlingen went off to search of its phone booths Murray Kirk deposited coins in various slots. He was already on his second sandwich wfaen Harlingen returned. - "Mission accomplished," said Harlingen, and then looked at the array of plates on the table. "Say, you must be hungry.” -I am. First time today I’ve thought of eating, thanks to your friend Arnold Lundeen. What did he have to say?” Harlingen sat down and placed his hat on the chair next to him. "Oh, he wasn’t too coherent about It, but that’s natural, I guess. Just kept saying. That's wonderful, that’s wonderful,’ and then something about being glad to get away from those so-and-so frying pans. He’s told me a few times how he hates being a short-order cook. He probably quit the job the minut he hung up the phone." "Why not?” said Murray. "He’s sot a bright future ahead of him.

reappointionment champion, Sen. Nelson Grills (D-Indianapolis), has announced his candidacy for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Many Bills Likely Pari-mutuel race gambling, the home rule city-manager proposal, more state aid for cities and towns and numerous other suggestions to give away more state funds could come to the fore. And the session itself would cost quite a bit of money. The last two Republican governors, George N. Craig and Handley, have overruled quite a few requests for special sessions. Nevertheless, Landgrebe is persisting in his drive. He has mailed inquiries to all state senators and the leaders of the. House. “I'm not in agreement with the governor’s action of turning down the special session proposal,” he said. “I feel it is too vital for the state to wait any longer for the U. S. government to act.” Meanwhile, the U. S. Senate is slated to consider the proposal of Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) to turn the harbor and steel mills areas over to the federal government for a Dunes national park.

No departmental trial to worry about now, all that back pay coming to him from the police force, ■ and Heiene waiting. What could be sweeter?” "Yes,” Harlingen said, "but as far as Helene goes—” "And you can’t go any further than that." "You know what I mean, Murray. She put him in a very bad spot, and he knows that now. He may feel differently about her after what he went through." "He may, but I don't think she feels differently about him. And a woman who’s enough in love with a man can be pretty unpredictable. Any time you have doubts about that just think of Pearl Miller." •Td rather not," Harlingen said with a depth of feeling. “What an experience! The way that poor soul—” “I know. Ralph, do you intend to keep on practicing criminal law?” “Yes." •Then brace yourself, because you’re going to see a lot of tears before you’re done. That’s what criminal law comes down to — women sitting to back of a courtroom and crying their hearts out for all the worthless men in their lives, to view of that, do you still feel that this Is the job for you?’’’ "Yes, but why are you so concerned about It? What are you getting at, Murray?" “A proposition." "What kind?” “A partnership. You and me. Harlingen and Kirk, if you want it in alphabetical order." "A partnership?" Harlingen knit his brow trying to understand. "But your detective agency —I mean, you’d be in a peculiar position, wouldn’t you?” “No, because I’m selling the agency. I’ve had an offer to sell a percentage of it, but I’m selling the whole works. I don’t know what kind of oeal it’ll amount to, but under any condition I'm walking out. And I think you and I would make a good team." "We might at that," Harlingen said, and then said with good-na-tured malice, "Didn’t you once remark that with your brains behind someone else'a mellow voice —?" Murray shook his head. "Let me tell you something, Ralph. 1 got you into Ira Miller’s apartment tonight, but that’s all. You had no right to be there, no right to 1 present anything to evidence ■ there, no right to talk to those 1 people the way you did. But you did it, and you got away with it, 1 because., as they say around my office, you were always on top of
Broadcast Portion Os Sidewalk Sale The “Old Fashioned Side Walk Sale Jubilee" committee announced this morning that in addition to plans already formulated the WOWO radio program, “P.M.” will be in Decatur, to broadcast the event from 8 to 10 p.m. on July 7. The special events department of the station, headed by Marvin Hunter, will send Perry Steckbeck and the mobile'taews-unit to all important places in the city, interviewing persons of interest to the tri-state area. General chairman Dave Moore said that every merchant should have his radio tuned to the station while the broadcast is on so Decatur shoppers can hear their friends and neighbors on the air while doing their shopping that night. Two dances will be conducted on Second street, antique displays will be featured in several store windows, an auto auction will be conducted, and other interesting amusements , besides the “Gay Nineties” apparel which will be worn by merchants and consumers, alike.
the case, I gave you some papers and a tape, but you had to be the one to use them against that cageful of tigers. And no one could have done it better. If I didn’t think so, 1 wouldn’t have brought up thia proposition in the first place. I couldn’t work with someone 1 didn’t respect • , “I -know that Murray, and I appreciate the compliment but there are other things to consider, aren’t there? Your attitudes and mine don’t always match. Wouldn’t that make trouble?" ■lt might But we’ll push and pull a little and manage to cdme up with the right answers together. That’s how it is in law. Get two people doing it and you’ve got a partnership. Get nine people doing it, and you’ve got the Supreme Court See what I mean?" “Yes," Harlingen said, “I see what you mean.” “Then is it a deal ? You’ll have to decide quickly, Ralph. If 1 sleep on this 1 may wake up with a different point of view, but right now. Judging from the way the world looks to me, I’m your man." "But why?" Harlingen asked. ’•lf you think you’re going to do better financially—" "No, 1 don’t In fact, I know I won’t do anywhere near as well financially. But it comes down r to something you said, Ralph. Do you remember telling me I didn’t make a good cynic?" "Yes." ••Well, you were wrong. I made a darned good cynic, because it never entered my mind for one little minute that Lundeen was innocent and that’s about as far as you can go in that direction. It w<* a blind spot in me that the agency made. It was the way Frank Conmy would have thought and felt And 1 don’t want to be another Frank Conmy, Ralph; it scares trie to think of winding up like that The agency poisoned him with suspicion of everybody and everything tn this world, and 1 can’t let that happen to me. But it will if 1 stay with the agency. You understand what Tm saying, don't you ? You’re the kind of person who should. That’s why Em telling you that if you say the word I’m your man." "Let’s use the word partner, Instead," said Harlingen. ‘Tt's got a nice ring to it." Murray "has a lecture from Ruth Vincent awaiting him: "You can take that took off your face right now. Nobody with a sense of humor should try to look terribly hurt and noble.” The story will end here tomorrow, ,
4-H Members Report On Camp Limberlost
From the impressions several 4-H’ers brought back from their 4-H camp on Oliver Lake last week, Adams county’s 43 campers returned with memories of a lot of good food and fun at tamp Limberlost. Several 4-H’ers, describing the camp’s activities and giving their impressions of the camp, recalled the boating and swimming most vividly. The day began with calisthenics and swimming, Gregg Schnepf, 10, of the Root Roving Rangers, said. He went in three times for the 6 a.m. swim, he replied, when asked about the early morning dip. There were three swimming times each day, he recalled: the early dip and one in the morning and afternoon. Carol Kessen, 15, of the Decatur Peppy Gals, described the buddy, system used in many of the activities, particularly swimming. Campers who took part in these activities had to come in pairs, under the buddy system, part of the camp safety rules. Recalling the water activities, Carol said she learned to row a boat this year, as this was her first year at the 4-H camp and her first year in 4-H. She remembered particularly that rowing was tricky, and that you could bump into other boats quite easily, especially when you rowed the wrong way and unintentionally went backwards. Movie About Cottontails The high point of the camp for Jerry Moses, 9, Gregg’s buddy at the camp and also a member of the Roving Rangers, was a movie On the cottontail rabbit. Fitting in with their class on nature study, the movie showed how the cottontail lived in its natural surroundings. Recalling part of the nature study done at the camp, Janet Winteregg, 12, of the Decatur Peppy Gals, remembered that they also got to see a baby fox', caught along with nine others recently. In the handicraft classes, which were held along with swimming, nature study and recreation clasess, Janet says, the group made things such as coin purses, beanies and coasters. The coasters were made of twine curled around in a circle and glued to hold its shape. All four campers, remembering their experiences after they came back from camp this week were unanimous in saying that one highlight was the demonstration given one afternoon bn safety with firearms. The campers were showed the proper way to handle guns—as if they were loaded all the time, as one of the campers put it. Some of the Wells-Adams county group were allowed to practice shooting. Even one of the women at the camp shot with one of the guns, the boys remembered. At the end of the day, the four campers recalled, t h ere, was square dancing and other recreation. One of the special events of the morning was “Camp Beautiful,’ ’the time when the neatest

cabin was chosen to receive a sign with those two words on it. Gregg and Jerry reported that their cabin won the “Camp Beautiful” sign two days, the first and the last days, and Janet’s cabin won it for the girls’ division on the last day of the camp. • Food Was Good One typical remark the campers had when their interview was about to end, was “And the food was good,” speaking well for the camp’s kitchen. Meals were accompanied with singing and a “table fun” program, which campers themselves supervised. The campers at each table had to clear off their own dishes, with the head of the table in charge, Carol remembered, adding that she was one of the ones who sat at the head of a table. Supervising the table fun for Adams county were junior leaders Jeannie Stolz and Sharon Diehl, Esther Brehm, star camper this year, helped in leading the singing. Connie Bergman, one of the county’s delegates to the junior leader conference and camp, helped with the handicraft classes. Stan Hill and Max Moser helped with the flag raising ceremonies. Also helping was Lynford Weiland, who was the boy’s star camper for this year. This year has seen a change in the Adams county 4-H camp schedule, for the camp had been at Lake McClure, during August, other years. This time, the camp was changed to Camp Limberlost at Oliver Lake, and was a joint camp for Adams and Wells counties. Because of the change to a twocounty camp, no star campers were elected. Leaders from both counties supervised the activities for the 170 campers. Leo N. Seltenright, county agent, helped direct the camp, while Miss Linda Gould, apprentice home demonstration agent, helped in recreation, and Marvey Sponhauer, boy’s 4-H leader, was sports director. Jack Hurst, conservation officer, also helped to lead the activities. One 4-H booster, the Adams county Farm Bureau Co-Op, provided a truck to transport the Adams county campers’ luggage. Special days for the 4-H club members during the first two weeks in July will be the conservation field day, the 4-H pig tour, and the district judging and demonstration contests. 1116 4-H schedule will be climaxed with the 4-H fair, July 28, 29, 30. The baking and clothing exhibits will perhaps be the most interesting to Janet, who was enrolled in both of these projects this year, her third year in 4-H. And one remark Carol made when she talked about the 4-H horse and pony club show, which she will ride in, summarized the feelings many 4-H’ers probably have about the fair: “I can’t wait!” Trade in a gooc town — Decatur.
