Good Citizens Commended Thanks to the Decatur Rotary Club* Decatur has been privileged to be host during the past two school years to two fine young men from foreign countries. Recently, Peter Friederici, who spent the year with Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Petrie, left for a month’s tour of the country before returning to his native Germany. A year ago Ken Eliasson visited with Dr. and Mrs. Harry H. Hebble and made the same return trip and tour. While the group visited in Washington, D. C., this year, Senator Eugene J. McCarthy, the junior senator from Minnesota, made the following speech on the floor of the U. S. Senate: “Mr. President, the Capitol of the United States is being visited today by several hundred exchange students from other countries. “These students, generally of high school age, have spent a year in the United States, living in American homes throughout this land. They are now on their way back to the port of embarkation to return to their own countries and to their own families. “Mr. President, I believe that the families of this country which have recognized their responsibility as good citizens and taken these visitors into their homes, as well as the families in the European and other countries of the world which have taken the American exchange students, should be particularly commended. So should the various religious and civic organizations which have taken the primary responsibility for this program, which is working out so well.” “Just a day or two before the departure of these young people, in the name of the Senate I wish them well, and express the hope that their visit in the United States was an enjoyable and a profitable one; that in the years to come their own countries and our country will profit from this great exchange program in the cause of peace and justice, and that common understanding will be advanced throughout the world.” Jack Dailey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dailey of this city is presently in Japan as an exchnge student, and last summer Miss Betsy Burk, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James Burk, visited with a German family. • * * * * This Thursday On July 23, which is Thursday of this week, the wheat farmers of the nation will go to the polls to vote on the annual question of high wheat prices and controlled acreage, or low wheat prices and no acreage controls. Only the farmers who grow 15 acres or more of wheat are eligible to vote. The vote on July 23 must be approved by two-thirds of the nation’s wheat farmers to put price supports for wheat into effect. Otherwise, prices will be allowed to drop. There are 1,900 farms in Adams county with 1960 wheat allotments. Most of the farmers here will elect to raise less than 15 acres to avoid the quota, many of which are less than 15 acres. This can be done without penalty. Growers whose allotment is less than 30 acres may also apply for a feed wheat exemption, and produce up to 30 acres to be used on the farm where grown. The most important thing for the local farmer who raises much wheat to remember is, the farmer who complies with his allotment is eligible for price supports. The price support program keeps the price paid to farmers up; without this support, the price would fall considerably, perhaps to sl. Where wheat is the major crop, there is no question about the program—it always carries strong. Here in Adams county the vote is usually very low, despite the widespread publicity. Os the eligible farmers, usually only 25 or 30 turn out. Last year the program carried by the necessary two-thirds for the first time.

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.

There was a desk, a swivel chair, a couple of straight-backed chairs, a studio camera, some stock backgrounds and a shelf of portable hand cameras. There were some framed camera portraits and quite a few enlargements of dunting scenes, in each of which Dean Crockett the Second was very much In evidence. It took about two minutes for Palmer to come out His eyes were blinking tn the light “I’m sorry I kept you waiting," he said. "1 was in the darkroom loading some plateholders, and... well, well, well. It’s the detective." "That’s right" 1 got up and shook hands. "What are you doing here, Lam? 1 mean, is there something I can do for you?" "I’m leading a double life,” I told Him. "That’s nothing," he said. "Double Uvea are simple. It's triple and quadruple lives that give you the excitement What do you want?" "Pictures." "What of?" "The shindig last night." *Tm making some of them now,” he said. "1 want to study the pictures,” 1 said. He frowned for a moment, then said, "Okay, PU treat you as one of the family.

room. It was a big darkroom. An orange light showed the pinup pictures. “Quite a collection," I said, looking around and whistling. "I get around," Palmer admitted. "I want prints of your shindig pictures,” 1 told him. “What for?” "So I can study the faces of the people who were there.” "You're working for Crockett, Lam?” “That’s right" “You think these pictures will help you recover the stolen articles?" “They may." "That would be nice for you?” "In what way?" "You’d get a reward?" "No one’s said so—not yet My partner makes the financial arrangements." "I’d be helping you cut yourself a piece of cake?" “1 wouldn’t know.” “If 1 help you, perhaps you could help me." “Perhaps." "1 happen to be awfully short of cash right now," he said. "Hang it! I can’t ever seem to keep money ahead. I want to take a babe to dinner tonight" "Have you been making passes at that file clerk in the office?” 1 asked. "What office?” "Ours.” "Oh, that babe.” He took a book out of his pocket switched on a brighter light ran through the book and said, "Let’s see, what was her name? Oh, yes, Ennis. Eva Ennis. Here's her telephone number." “That book looks well filled,” 1 said. He riffled through it shrugged his shoulders and said, "After I’ve been out with a babe three or four times 1 get fed up. 1 like to play' the field and get new ones.” 1 said, “Td like to talk babes, but I’ve got to get the pictures of that shindig last night. You took lots of flash-shots?” “About fifty." “Any 1 oan look at now?" “No extra prints yet,” he said, “but you can look. That’s what I’ve been doing today, developing the negatives and pulling some eight -by - ten enlargements on glossy. They’re just coming out of the dryer now. Want to look?” "Sure." He manipulated a big drum covered with canvaa I heard prints dropping, then the canvas slid back and 1 saw a big heated, staiifless-steel drum, polished to a mirror finish.

“That’s nice work," X told him. "1 do nice work." “They feel nice." "Double weight paper,” he said, “and 1 soak it in a glycerin bath after I’ve washed the hypo out of them and before I put them on the drum dryer." I started looking through the prints. “Some nice-looking babes here," 1 said. "Uh-huh.” “You know their names?” "1 can find out their names. Each one of these pictures is numbered. 1 number the plate when 1 take a picture, and then 1 get names in a book reading from left to right.” “Addresses?" "That depends. Some of them want prints; some of them don’t care.” “Crockett gives them the prints?" “1 da Crockett wants the pictures. I tell them they have to make arrangements with me.” He opened another drawer, took out the usual elght-by-ten professional portraits, then some full-length shots with legs and bathing suit “How do you like that number?" "Class,” 1 said. "Lots of them are like that. 1 won’t monkey with them unless they’re real class." “Wow!" 1 said, in awe, “do you know women!” “Do 1 know women," he admitted. “Say, 1 don’t know why 1 got started on this. I’ve got some work to do. You can sit out in the office and go through the stuff." He fixed me up at the desk, gave me a bunch of scrapbooks and said, *Tm going in and load some more plateholders, then I’ve got some stuff in the hypo I want to take out and wash. Just come on tn after you look at these scrapbooks. These photos are all first-class babes." I thanked him and sat down at the desk. After he’d gone back to the darkroom, 1 started exploring the office. 1 looked at the array of cameras on the shelf and picked out the press camera he’d been using in the agency office. It was a Speed Graphic. 1 opened the back. There was nothing in the camera. I looked in the backs of a couple of other cameras and figured Td drawn a blank. Thea 1 saw another Speed Graphic with a wide-angle lens. I swung that around and opened the back. It was in there;a carved jade Buddha about four inches high, all wrapped In cotton. I put it in my pocket and . walked out. (Continued Tomorrow) tag Featwea Syndicate,

No articles will be published without signature of the author. 0 O ■*■ , ■ TO ALL DECATURITES: We are leaving Decatur after many years here and we just want to say “thank you” for years of enjoyable living in your fine city. There are so many things we have appreciated here, but first of all, it has been the people. It has been a distinct pleasure getting to know so many of you throughout the years. We really regret there are so many we never have had the opportunity to know better. We are grateful for your churches and ministers, and especially the Methodist church, where we as a family have tried to learn from the old message. It is only natural that we are very grateful for our kind and helpful family doctor and also the other doctors who have so graciously helped us when our doctor has not been available. Your friendly and well-run hospital has always 'given us excellent service whenever the occasion to use it arose. We have been so impressed with your library and the fine work of Miss Bertha Heller and her staff. The strength of the school system is the caliber of its leaders and teachers. Decatur has many fine dedicated teachers. It is particularly significant that many of the outstanding teachers are native Decaturites. During the school shortage period after the war we felt very grateful to live in a community farsighted enough to recognize and solve its school building problem before it became severe. Another friend we will sorely miss is the Decatur Daily Democrat. Its charm of reporting the little things so important in our every day lives can never be matched in a larger city. We will always remember the enthusiasm witA which Dick Heller, Sr., supported any project for the betterment of Decatur. The merchants of Decatur have always given us courteous and fine service. It has been interesting to see the mcny improvements in the shopping areas since we have been hre. Anyone whc knows the Finlayson family krcws how much we have erjoyec ycur swimming pool.. Greater than enjoyment, we are grateful, though we have lived inland and away from water, our three oldest children leave Decatur as fairly good swimmers. The Community Center has always been of special interest to us and we are pleased to see it run so

well by Dick Linn and all those connected with it. We hope it grows constantly in filling the needs of the whole city of Decatur.

Cordially, Scotty and Mugs Finlayson Jeannie, Rocky, Doug and Malcolm. Suggest Petition On Berne Kindergarten The board of school trustees of the Berne-French township schools has suggested that the Mother’s Study club of Berne circulate a petition to settle the kindergarten question. If the majority of the taxpayers living in the school district sign the petition, the board of school trustees has agreed to establish the kindergarten beginning this year. The petition which the school board has suggested asks for the kindergarten to begin this year, and also for a tax levy for the school. This would amount to $7,300 and a rate of 12 cents on each SIOO to support the kindergarten. 0.,-—-— , o 20 Years Ago Today o■- ■ o July 20, 1939-r The annual high school equivalency examination will be held in the offices of C.
