Maintaining Cemeteries Recent vandalism at a nearby cemetery, causing nearly $2,000 damage, points up the high cost to the public of maintaining our many cemeteries. No one begrudges the money spent to keep the memory of our forefathers sacred—they do begrudge the money that must be spent because of unnecessary vandalism, however. Destruction of a grave is a serious state offense; mutilating a grave by turning over the tombstone is very costly. Township trustees are charged with the maintenance of all cemeteries which do not have sufficient funds to maintain the grounds. In Burns Statutes, 21-801, if there is a military grave in the cemetery, they are charged with “re-setting and straightening of all monuments, the leveling and seeding of the ground, and the repairing of fences.,” In all deserted cemeteries, whether a soldier is buried there or not, he is charged with fencing the cemetery and with keeping the weeds, briars and brush cleaned up. Failure to do this is neglect of duty, according to the act, and trustees may be fined $25 to SIOO for the first offense, and SSO to S2OO for second and other offenses. Most of the cemeteries in Adams county are kept up very well. Occasionally some young people thoughtlessly test their strength by turning over the stones, or litter the graves with trash, and drive over the graves, leaving ruts. It takes several men some time to right a tombstone, and costs the township, and every taxpayer in it, when vandalism has to be corrected. Many people spend time and money keeping the graves of their forebears green and beautiful, and they highly resent actions that desecrate a cemetery. Priceless historical and biographical information may be lost forever to the public if a tombstone is destroyed. All young people should understand the seriousness of “playing” in a cemetery.

Both will attend a news conference late this afternoon. In between political discussions on how the group can help the party increase its Hoosier gains through the 1959 muncipal and 1960 presidential elections, the delegates will wage a battle for officers of their own organization and witness a beauty contest. “Miss Democrat of Indiana” will be selected this afternoon from a field of several dozen entries sponsored by the various clubs around the state.

WRAT HAS HAPPENED |1 The preparations of Dean Crockett XI, millionaire explorer, for a party in his penthouse included hiring the: ■ Cool & Lam Detective Agency to keep out gate crashers and sneak thieves. I He wanted big Bertha Cool as one ot i the guardians of his door because he believed a woman was the gate crasher who got away from a previous party with one of his valuable relics. Crockett’s press agent. Melvin Otis Olney, tipped off newspapers about the precautions against gate crashers and then had -eason to regret It. For somehow an past Bertha and an X-ray protective device with a Jade Buddha and a pygmy blowgun treasured by Crockett. Bertha, furious over her apparent lapse, has sought the aid of her brainy but bantam-weight partner. Donald Lam. Crockett wants his stolen curios recovered, but not with police involvement Donald, who Is telling the story, is questioning his glamorous file clerk. Eva Ennis. . . . CHAPTER 6 I LOOKED Eva Ennis over pretty carefully. She had curves, contours and an air of awareness about her that belied the demure expression which was on her face at the moment She was wearing a high-necked sweater, a Jacket and skirt “You wanted to see me, Mr. Lam?” she asked. “Sit down, Eva," I said. "1 want to talk with you." She smiled at me, then glanced at Elsie Brand, my secretary. “Sit down, Elsie," I said. “I want to find out something about Eva's private love life, and I want a chaperon." Eva started to say something, but changed her mind.

And then added, “Lionel Palmer.” “Did he tell you much about his duties?" “Oh, yes. He travels with Mr. Crockett, and it’s up to him to keep a perfect record of the trips. He takes color slides to project on the screen in stills, then he takes colored motion pictures, and, in addition to that, he takes black-and-white pictures so there's a perfect story record of all the trips In all three media: color slides, black-and-white pio tures and colored movies." "Why all the coverage?" I asked. “In lectures Mr. Crockett uses the colored slides. For publicity releases in newspapers he uses the black-and-whites. and for entertainment such as the dinner party last night, he uses colored motion pictures.” “Were you up at the party last night?” She made a little face, said, "No,” shortly and sharply. "Why not?" I asked. “I was supposed to meet him last night, but there was too much excitement He had to call eamr right e 1964 tar 92

(UPD—William Robert Harrington, 29, announced his own death in a telephone call to Indiana State Police Thursday. Harrington told Trooper Paul Connelly that police would find a dead man in the basement of his Yankeetown home. He said the body would be shot through the right temple. Asked who the dead man was, Harrington replied, “I am.” Connelly tried to keep Harrington engaged in conversation but the caller hung up. City detectives and state troopers heard a shot when they arrived at Harrington’s home. In the basement they found Hartington mortally wounded in the right temple, just as he had said he would be.

me and call it off. He ... he was • going to fix things so I could slip into the party and see the pictures, and then we were going out for some ham and eggs be- ' fore he took me home. But they i had some excitement up there and he couldn’t get away, and I didn't dare to let him try to smuggle me in because . . . well, you know who was watching the elevator.” “That’s all you know about the situation to date?” I asked. "To date,” she said ly“Would it be asking too much to check in tomorrow morning and tell me what else you have found out?” “What else did you want to know?" “Well, how many pictures he took at that shindig last night. 1 want prints of all those pictures.” She hesitated. “Well?” I asked. "Okay," she said. • • • An International Goodwill Club was listed in the telephone book. I copied the address, went out and got a cab. I was surprised to find a sumptuous office, back of that a clubroom and a library. The manager came forward to meet me with a glad hand. “Lam,” I told him, shaking hands. “I'm a writer. I want to turn out an article on your club.” “I’m Carl X. Bedford.” the glad

hander told me. “I'm secretary and manager. Anything I can do for you, Mr. Lam, I’ll be only too glad to do.” “How many members do you have?” I asked. “Our membership is a very select list It ... well, frankly, Mr. Lam, we cater to quality rather than quantity.” “Could you tell me how many?” “I don’t think the club would care to publicise the intimate details, Mr. Lam. We'd be very much interested in having something published about the objectives of the dub, the promotion of international goodwill, the understanding of foreign culture." "Well, that’s fine. Just how do you go about promoting this understanding?” “The club puts cm a series of lectures throughout the country. We try to get the publie interested in the ways of other people.” “Very commendable," 1 said. "You have a dub flag ?" “Yes, indeed we do." “I take it you have some flags that -have been planted in unusual , parts of the world?” “Indeed we have, Mr. Lam. We have a wonderful collection of i photographs showing some of the > expeditions oa which the club I pennant or flag has been taken." Erie Stanley Gardner; distributed by Ki

20 Years Ago Today 0 .— o July 17, 1939—Tw0 hundred and 16 persons, members of the local Moose lodge and auxiliary and their families, made an excursion trip to Mooseheart Sunday. Dr. Frank J. Lankenau, 71, prominent Lutheran clergyman of Napoleon, 0., and former Adams county resident, died suddenly while on a business trip in Kansas City. The Decatur police department, following numerous complaints, have issued a warning against the shooting of sling shots and air rifles. Death toll from the dust explosion in a Kentucky coal mine has been placed at 29. Two Are Injured In Three-Vehicle Crash A bicyclist and an automobile passenger were injured this morning at 9 o’clock when a third vehicle skidded on the wet pavement on U. S. 27, I>£ miles south of Decatur. Both were admitted to Adams county memorial hospital for treatment. Sheriff Merle Affolder and state police, who investigated, said that the car driven by Edwin M. Adler, 69, of 349 Winchester street, Decatur, struck the southbound car, driven by Homer F. Rauch, 35, of route 6, Decatur, and the bicycle, driven by John Francis McNutt, 50, of Union City, after it skidded across the center line. Henry Adler, 79, of 518 Marshall street, received a severe laceration on the nose and forehead and banged up both knees as a passenger in the Adler machine, i McNutt sustained abraisons on the head, injury to his back, hip and right leg. The Adler machine received S3OO in damages, while the Rauch car damages amounted to $350 and the bike was demolished. Loss of the bike amounted to S3O. Child Is Uninjured In 25-Foot Fall ' I WABASH, Ind. (UPI) — Two-year-old Carl E. McNeeley escaped without a scratch Wednesday when he fell 25 feet from a secondstory window in his home and ladned in shrubbery.

“Do you have scrapbooks available?’’ “Indeed we do. Mr. Lam.” He slid back a panel and showed me two full shelves of scrapbooks. I picked one at random, ft was a trip made by Dean Crockett the Second to Africa. I pulled down another one. It contained photographs of a tiger hunt in India. Another one had big-game hunting in Alaska. “Nice photographs.” 1 said. “How about seeing some of the flags themselves. Do you have them here?” “Oh, yes. we have them in a closet —a special closet." He opened a door and pulled out a long sliding rack which glided smoothly on rollers. There were probably two dozen flags with engraved semicircular plates screwed into the bandies, telling the name of the member of the club, the expedition on which the flag had been planted. I went through the flags. The same names kept repeating themselves. There were twenty-six flags and five different names. “This last one in the rack,” I said casually, “is the most recent expedition ?” "That’s right,” he said. "That flag was presented to me only Kast night by Dean Crockett the Second. It was planted in the wilds of Borneo.” I lifted the flag out of the rack, then I lifted out the flag next to it which had also been planted

by Crockett in the rugged barranca country of Mexico. I shook both flags up and down. The barranca flag was solid. Something jiggled and banged in the handle of the Borneo flag. “Well, well, what’s this?” I said. I put the barranca flag back in the rack, turned up the Borneo flag and looked at the bottom. There was a metallic screw cap on the bottom. “Oh, that,” Bedford said, laughing. “That’s a concession to utility, Mr. Lam. You see, there’s an interchangeable point which screws on the bottom of the flag. When a flag is being planted, the explorer screws on this pointed piece of metal. It’s very sharp. It’s quite easy to plant the flag in the ground, then it is photo- ’ graphed and there are appropri- . ate ceremonies. Afterward, this blunt point is replaced.” “Nice going," I said, and un- . screwed the metallic cap, put it in my pocket and tilted up the. flagpole. ; A long, black piece of wood l started sliding out. 1 pulled it out with my hand > and said, “What’s this?” —— f “Well, for Heaven’s sake,” Bed- > ford said, “that.... that looks like > Mr. Crockett’s blowgun!" ’ - (Continued Monday) jms Features Syndicate. .«dK
