More Budgets Submitted Several more county budgets have been submitted to the county commissioners this week for their perusal and comment. The commissioners go over the budget with a fine tooth comb before submitting it to the county council. The county agent’s office has submitted a budget of $17,835 as compared with the budget of $15,875 allowed last year. Provision is made for an assistant county agent, and raises for the present employes, as well as regular cost-of-living increases in other departments. • The County assessor, Walter Koos has submitted a budget this year of $10,780, as compared with $9,925 last year. The surveyor asks for $12,753, as compared with $13,335 last year. The eounty board of education is asking for an additional SB,OOO to pay a school nurse, under the statuatory hearing and eye-screening program. The board also is asking for $4,000 for the county school study committee, to be appointed in the near future. This board serves without salary, but help will be needed with record keeping and statistical research. About $5,000 of the budget will come from state funds, with the county providing $19,400. The Washington township assessor’s office asks $5,010, the same as was allowed last year. Several more budgets are still to be submitted. They will be advertised in their entirety for the public to read, 0 and then will be considered in public meetings, at which anyone objecting or favoring certain proposals may be heard. Now is the time to find out “Why?”, not after you get your tax bill next Spring! Most property owners are looking forward to the reassessment of real estate in the next couple of years. Many believe that a large number of inequities exist throughout the county. Assessment is always a difficult problem; the most important thing is that all assessments be equitablethat is, each one a certain percent of the value as figured according to law. Since we are all human beings, however, even the best job will result in errors, and in imagined errors. So it is important to watch closely the entire assessment picture to make certain that all assessments are in line. ■ ~. - - . ■ . !: . I.— . -

County 4-H Fair Notes

By Barbara Fiechter Was it said yesterday that the acUvity began early the first day of the fair—before 7:30? The 4-H’ers who stayed with their livestock overnight took the prize for early birds this morning. Some of the hungry exhibitors were at the food tent about 5:30. No, they hadn’t slept much. “They never sleep much the first night!” one leader commented at the food tent afterwards. The grounds, which had changed in appearance from Monday to Tuesday morning, had changed even more by this morning. Activity began stirring first about the livestock barns and tents, as the exhibitors began currying and washing their animals, both for the big beef show, which was scheduled to begin about 3 p. m., and for the spectators, who began swarming over the grounds again. The food tent workers were cleaning Up the kitchen from the breakfast that was jerved to the livestock exhibitors this morning From a distance, you could see that the fairgrounds had blossomed out with the machinery dealers’ exhibits, in addition to the exhibits of the 4-H’ers themselves. Through the haze that covers the country-side on these dog days, the fairgrounds made a colorful picture. A note must be added to the comment about the livestock exhibitors. There were about 75 to be fed, and they didn’t stay hungry for long, because they were soon served a breakfast of pancakes and sausage, and milk or hot chocolate. (The soft drink dispensers were empty, so that ruled out requests for orange, Coke, or such.) But the 4-H'ers still got the best of the bargain, with the addition of milk.’ Six divisions of judging were completed Tuesday, the first day of the fair: in horsemanship, handicraft, poultry, pheasant and quail, lambs, and conservation. The names of the winners will be published as soon as the lists are cleared through the county extension office. Most of these appear in today's paper, in addition to the winners of the grand parade and

WHAT HAS HAPPENED The preparations of Dean Crockett 11, millionaire explorer, for a partyin his penthouse included hiring Bertha Cool ot the Cool A Lam De- ( tective Agency to keep out gate , crashers and sneak thieves. He believed the thiet who got away from a previous party with one of his valuable relics was a woman. Crockett's press agent Melvin Otis Olney, tipped oft newspapers about tire precautions against gate crashers, and then had reason to regret it. For somehow an intruder got past big Bertha and an X’-ray protective device with two of Crockett * treasures; a jade Buddha and a pygmy blowgun. Bertha furious over her apparent lapse, called on her bantam-weight partner, Donald Lam. for help. Crockett insisted that his stolen curios be recovered without police involvement. Following a hunch. Donald visited (fee offices ot the International GoodwMl Chib, the sponsor of Crockett's recant expedition to Borneo. There, in tire start of a club Hag carried in and oC| of the party Donald found the missing blowgun. Then visiting the studio of Lionel Palmer, a photographer vYh° w“ at the party, he found the jarfe Buddha secreted in the back of a camera. Upon taking (h® IJ curios t 0 ,th« Crockett home. Dapald was received by Mrs. Crockett, who was sketching a model. Sylvia Hadley. Donald has held back on producing the lade Buddha because the model, employed by Lionel Palmer, nas shown undue interest in the thefts. Donald continues the story. . . . CHAPTER 12 “ A JADE Buddha was stolen /A as well as that blowgun,” Mrs. Crockett told Sylvia Hadley. “The mate to the jade Buddha that disappeared three weeks ago." “You mean that beautiful piece • of smooth, green jade carved into a Buddha contemplating nirvana, with that expression of rapt, serene concentration 7" "That’s the one," Phyllis Crockett said. “Dean made quite a scene about it" "Oh, but he should. Good heavens, that’s . . . why, that's one of the most beautiful pieces of carving I’ve ever seen. I’d . . . oh, Td love to have even a secondrate duplicate of that I was going to ask Dean if it wouldn’t be possible to cast that in plaster of Paris and — You mean it’s goneT n “It’s gone," Phyllis said. "Oh, for Heaven’s sake," Sylvia Hadley said. I glanced across at Mrs. Crockett “Don’t you think your husband would be sufficiently interested in the return of the blowgun to make it advisable to interrupt him?" “You can’t interrupt him, Mr. Lam." “Surely thefe's a door to his suite," I said. “You can knock on the door." ••There are two doors. Both ; are locked. There’s a closet in between them. I don’t think you ' could hear a knock." “There's no telephone where he is?" She shook her head. "It’s a part ; of the house that he had specially designed. I tell you, ft’s absolute- : ly out of the question except for

the entretainment festival. Today, besides the beef show this afternoon, judging was scheduled to continue in these departments: electricity and farm shop, garden, and rabbit projects. Early this evfening, activity will begin with the greased pig contest. About 100 4-H-age youths took part in the chase last year, when it was a 4-H fair event for the first time, and this year should attract another large crowd. The Adams county ministerial association again will sponsor the evening vespers at the fair, scheduled for tonight beginning at 7 p. m. The Rev. J. J. Klopfenstein, of the First Missionary church, Berne, will speak. “Patio Party,” the public presentation of the 4-H dress revue, will begin after vespers, about 7:30 p. m. Judging from the comments made at Friday’s dres revue practice and judging, this revue should be an interesting one indeed. “There are so many beautiful outfits,” one leader exclaimed, sympathizing with Mrs. Joanna Sharp, the dress revue judge. About 150 girls will participate this year, compared with the 100 who took part last year. There are more entrants in the advanced divisions, division IV and up, which makes for more and better outfits to be paraded at this year’s “Patio Party”—and more competing in the senior dress revue for the right to represent this county at the state fair revue. While we're on the topic of evening programs, let’s look back at the opening night activities of the 4-H fair. The parade was one of the longest parades, and it was also very well managed, comments added. The bands, Monmouth, Pleasant Mills, and Adams Central —met at the north e>d of the Adams Central school, and the industrial units led in from the left side of the grounds, where they machinery exhibits are stationed. The parade, which began at the drive of the Adams Central school, led on roaa 124 for a block, went through the main street of Monroe, and back to 124 again. At the

a major emergency unless —" “Unless what?” “Unless he isn’t working and 1 can attract his attention through the window.” I waited. She bit her lip thoughtfully, picked up the blowgun and said, “Come with me, please.” 1 followed her into a hallway. She opened a washroom door, laughed a bit and said, “Crowd over close to the window and we’ll see.” I moved over to the narrow window. She opened the frosted glass and leaned over so close to me that I could feel her cheek brushing mine as she pointed at a lighted window perhaps twentyfive feet across an air well and some fifteen feet higher than our level. "That’s his place up there,” she said. “Sometimes he has the drapes closed and—No, this time he hasn’t got the drapes closed. . . . Sometimes he’s dictating to a dictating machine, and then he sits in one place. Sometimes he’s thinking and then he walks the floor. If he walks the floor back and forth past the window, we can signal him with a flashlight “Just a minute,” she said, and stepped from the room. She was back in seconds with a five-cell flashlight. “If we see him walking, I’ll signal him,” she said. “But I’m not going to be responsible for the consequences. We may get a terrific tongue-lashing. He doesn't like to be disturbed when he’s up there.” “I take it your husband is a man of highly individual tastes," I said. “You can say that again.” She pushed’ close to me, then said, “Look, I’m too crowded in here.” She shifted her position with a lithe wriggle of her body, put her left arm around my neck and up close to me. “There," she said, “that’s better." “If your husband happens to look out and see us now,” I said, "he’ll perhaps give us two ton-gue-lashings. We must look rather intimate from up there.” “Don’t be silly," she said. "How can two people make love in a little room with their heads sticking out of a window?” “You’ll admit we’re rather close." "I don’t believe he’s walking around ..." She lowered her voice. "Didn’t you say something about that jade Buddha?” "I said I was about to recover the jade Buddha." "Oh, I thought you said you’d recovered it" "I guess I wasn't speaking very plainly." “Oh, don’t bother to apologize. It’s my ears. Sometimes I hear and sometimes I don’t . . . Well,

Monroe fire station, the pet and hobby club members left the parade to go back to the fairgrounds. The parade included, besides approximately 12 4-H club floats; the sheriffs mounted posse; the American Legion, Post 43, Decatur, acting as the color guard; the Monroe rural and city fire equipment; about 15 horse and pony elub members, and the industrial unfts. The rural youth also had a decorated car in the parade, advertising their ice cream social, to be August 22, at the fair grounds. In all, sheriff Merle Affolder said this morning, the parade lasted over an hour, about a half hour longer than last year, as there were more marching units, adding that he and Martin Steiner, co-director of the parade, gained experience in directing the parade when told about the favorable comments. —oOo— A future 4-H'er and Farm Bureau member was probably the youngest person in the opening parade last night. Little month-and-a-half-old Letha Gerbers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Gerbers, paraded with the Union township Pet and Hobby group in her baby carriage. Not only was the parade one of the biggest the 4-H fair has seen, but the crowd was the biggest too, judging from its combined appetite. The food tent sold over 5,000 sandwiches—hot dogs, sloppy joes, and ham sandwiches. The receipts were the largest thie food tent has ever taken in: over $2,500. The largest total receipts for a day since the fair began was $2,300, taken in while the fairgrounds were still at the old Monroe high school building, which has since been razed. The opening night crowd Tuesday lined up as far as the school and back onto the fairgrounds, before supper. What does it take to make a true blue big business like the food tent click? Over 200 workers pitched in at the food tent Tuesday, the biggest day the fair has ever had, Mrs. Noah Habegger, food tent chairman, said this morning. The workers came in three shifts: morning, afternoon, and evening and are divided into 10 separate divisions, including dish washing, sandwich making, etc. Mrs. Habegger had a bouquet for all the workers this morning. “The cooperation was wonderful from every-

Mr. Lam, this has been a very enjoyable experience in one way, but from the standpoint of husband communicating, 1 guess it’s —Oh, well, I’m going to take a chance." She put on the flashlight and directed it against the plate-glass window. 'There’s an open window to the right of that," I said. "Where does that lead?” ■That leads into the little closet I was telling you about. There are two doors in the closet One into his place and one Into the main house. The closet separates the two doors. He keeps them both closed and both locked.” , "Let’s try that open window.” The beam of the spotlight was powerful enough to go through the open window, penetrate the late afternoon light and illuminate a section of the wall showing a shelf littered with half a dozen objects which couldn’t readily be identified. Abruptly she switched off the light "I’m frightened,” she said. “Come on, let’s pass it up. He’ll be very, very thrilled, Mr. Lam, that you have recovered that blowgun. Could you tell me how you did it?” "Not now,” I said. "Why?” she pouted. , "It might interfere with getting back the jade idol.” She lowered the window and said in a low voice, "You know something, Donald?” "What?” “You’re nice.” She walked casually back to the studio, saying, “No go, Sylvia. We couldn’t attract Dean.” She turned to me cool and languid, and said with a casual manner of dismissal, "Well, I guess there’s no use, Mr. Lam. I’ll let him know that you’ve recovered the blow Jun.” "And Is cm the trail of the idol,” Sylvia Hadley said. "And is on the trail of the Idol," Phyllis Crockett echoed. I hesitated a moment. “Well,” Phyllis said brightly, ”1 guess the recess is over, Sylvia. Let’s get to work.” Without a word, Sylvia arose lightly from the chair, untied the cord, tossed the robe over the back of the chair, walked up to the modeling platform and resumed her pose with the manner of a professional. Phyllis Crockett picked up her* smock, put It back on, ran her thumb through the hole in the palette, selected a brush and said over her shoulder, “Awfully nice - at you to drop in, Mr. Lam.” "Don’t mention it," I told her. She put the brush In the paint, then started making brush marks on the canvas. "Thanks a lot,” I said, and walked out. (Continued Monday)

Inside the halls are the pet and hobby [ and gardening exhibits, including j colorful handiwork and late sum- . mer flowers, such as zinnias. Blueribbon record books are also on ; display now, as well as health and safety and personality Improvement exhibits. —oOo—--1 Big livestock shows are in store for fair-goers today and tomorrow.

They say only mad dogs and i Englishmen will venture out during these hot days, when the temperatures and the humidity (as one youngster tried to comment, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humility,”) soar and people xnow they’re in the middle of July’s dog days. Perhaps we’d better add 4-H workers to that list. And although the atmosphere is uncomfortable and helps to make a persoh feel limp, leaders, 4-H’ers, and fair-goers alike seem to be having a whale of a time. And after all, this evening, where would be a better place to get cooled off but on the open grounds, where there is more chance of catching a breeze?
