French Township’s Library Congratulations to French township! The far-sight-ed township trustee there, Raymond Moser, has brought free library service to all the residents of the township. All of the residents may now use the Berne library without charge. This means that Washington, Monroe, Wabash, and French townships, as well as Decatur, Berne, and Geneva, have library service. At one time, only the very rich could read books. Only they had the funds to buy them, and to learn the previous wisdom stored therein. Now public libraries are bringing, to many people, an extension of education as valuable as the ability to read and write itself. After all, it does you no good to be able to read if you do not practice it. Who would spend 12 years learning to play the piano, or any musical instrument, and then decide to never use the skill again ? Who would play football, basketball, or baseball for 12 years, and then ignore those sports? No one. Yet many who finish school use their reading only for newspapers, funnies, ads, or signs. They never even think of continuing to grow in understanding, in the richness of life, in satisfaction, and in community stature, by reading. Milton, in his great defense of the freedom to write and publish books, Areopagitica. said, “A good book is the precious lifes-blood of a master spirit.” Think of that — we have available to us the very depth of thinking of every great man who has ever written down his thoughts — in science, religion, history, philosophy, in every field. Everyone can have a ready source of information in the public library. What! It doesn’t go far enough into detail to suit you? You want books which you cannot find there? But every public library has an exchange agreement with the Indiana state library, with college libraries, and with other county libraries. This means that you may request your local. librarian to borrow from these other libraries technical or rare books not owned locally, and borrow them for only the low postage rate of borrowing and returning. Wisdom that others could not obtain at any price is ours for the asking. Other generations have fought and died so that we may have the precious privilege of freedom of information, and freedom to read what we choose. But the dangerous freedom to ignore our privileges also exists. We are also free to be as ignorant, as limited, and as unhappy, as any illiterate peasant of the middle ages — if we do not take advantage of reading.

AIK FORCE ACADEMY: $28,600 PER CADET. WEST POINT: $13,078 PER CADET. ANNAPOLIS: $7,115 PER MIDSHIPMAN. PROBE TRAINING COST— Tiie House defense appropriations subcommittee is delving into the cost per year of training officers at the U. S. Military academy, West Point, N. Y., the U. S. Naval academy, Annapolis. Md., and the U. S. Air Force academy, Colorado Springs, Colo. Chairman George H. Mahon (D), Texas, says the committee wants an explanation for the “disparity” between the services. The Air Foice cadet cost figure is blamed on non-recurring expenses in setting up the facility. It is estimated the figure will drop to $22,500 per cadet per- year.

3,000 Gallons For Turtle Soup Picnic Ry HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— A gourmet’s delight will help attract an estimated 11,000 persons to the little town of Ferdinand (pop. 1200) September 6. Turtle soup—more than 3.000 gallons of it—is the main dish for the annual St. Ferdinand Church picnic. There will be other things to eat besides turtle soup, but that is the specialty and one for which the women—and men—of the small Dubois County town already are planning. The precise amounts of the ingredients are kept secret by the men of the St. Ferdinand Catholic parish who do the actual preparing of the soup in 50 big caldrons. Turtle soup has been a specialty of the parish picnics for 50 years and they don’t want any imitators. But into those big kettles will

CHAPTER 20 1 WALKED Into the Cool & 1 -Lam offices, and Lionel Pal- r mer jumped up from a seat back ■ of the filing case where he had * evidently been talking with Eva f Ennis. Her face was slightly flushed : and she was smiling in that pe- , culiariy self-conscious but tbler- ’ aht way a girl has when some- 1 body has been handing her a pretty good line. Palmer came striding across the office toward me. 1 “Hello, Palmer,” I said. "Lam," he stormed at me, ' "what was the idea of putting me on the spot with Dean Crockett ?” 1 “Did I put you on a spot?" J I asked softly. "You know damn well you did! As soon as Crockett hired you to : get those stolen articles back, you made a beeline for my shop. That makes it look as if you felt ’ Pd been mixed up in the theft 1 Crockett thinks so, and Olney 1 thinks so. You know, I should smack you right in the kisser and I teach you a lesson!” I took out my cigarette case, opened it, extended it to him. 1 “Cigarette?” I asked. “Not from you!” he said. 1 I took a cigarette, put it in my mouth and lit it I saw that Eva Ennis had been 1 edging up, looking at Lionel Palmer with the admiration which 1 a girl sometimes 'shows for a man who is talking big. “You pumped me for all the ' dope on my friends," he said. “You’ve caused me so much trouble I think Fll just take it out 1 of your hide in installments, and—" ' 1 said, “You don’t even know what trouble is—yet” He said sneeringly, “I don’t suppose you’re going to make ' trouble for me?” "Not me," I told him, "some- j body else." “Who?” he asked, noticing Eva Ennis out of the corner of his eye and getting his chin up and hie chest stuck way out. “The police," I told him. It took a minute for that to dawn on hiih. Then his chest began to go down like a tire with I a slow leak. “What have the police got to do with it?" “Quite a few things,” I said. "They’re looking for you now." “For what?" "They want to interrogate you." “What would they want to interrogate me about?” I said, “Did you know that a blowgun and a small jade idol had been stolen from Crockett’s house the night of the shindig?” : “Os course I knew it" < “It doesn't mean anything to you?” * "Whv should it?"

go 400 pounds of turtle meat, the meat from 400 hens, 375 pounds of ground beef, 10 gallons of red wine, corn peas, green beans, cabbage, celery, onions, diced potatoes, carrots, catsup, tomato puree, noodles, chili powder, black pepper and other spices. The men of the parish catch the turtles in the sloughs of Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky while the women help with getting the other ingredients ready. The Rev. David Duesing’s pastor of St. Ferdinand parish and superintendent of the parish-sup-ported high school, pointed out that by eating turtle soup and the other , food and buying handmade quilts, the picnickers are also furthering education. The education is that of all high school students in the township because there is no other for them to attend. Father Duesing’s report that last year’s picnic netted $30,000, enough to keep the school operating. Although the school is coeducational, bars none for reason of creed or race, and is accredit-

"You knew " a blowgun was i missing?” I "Os course I did, I tell you. i There’s no secret about that Crockett was yelling his head off < about it. Yesterday afternoon he " told me that he’d hired you and : your partner to get the stuff back, and wanted to know why ; wiu were hanging around my place, and did I know—" “1 got the stuff back," I interrupted. “So what? Why tell me about it?” “I thought you might be interested.” “I’m not I’m not interested in anything about you, or what you do, just so you don’t ever stick your nose in my place again." "The police are going to ask you some questions.” "Let them. I’ll answer them." "And the police are going to want to know what you were doing in Phyllis Crockett’s studio apartment.” He was still talking big, but his chest was getting smaller by i the minute. “What do you mean, Phyllis Crockett’s studio apartment?” ■> “You have a key to it, I be- i lieve.” He didn’t say anything to that. “And you were in there sometime yesterday?" “I don't have to account to you , for what I do." “That’s entirely correct,” I told him. “You don't and Z’m not asking. I’m simply telling you that i the police are going to be asking, i and you will have to account to Diem.” < “I had business in that apart- i ment," I "Sure, sure,” I said, “and you had a key to it and it was from that apartment that Dean Crockett was murdered." I He stepped back a couple of i paces and his eyes became big. "Was what?" "Murdered." 1 “What in blue blazes are you talking about?" 1 “And,” I said, "shortly before his murder, you had an interview with him in which you todk hold of the lapel of his coat and he : put his palm against your chest and pushed you halfWay across ' the offiee. The police are going to be very much interested in what you did after that time, because it was shortly after that that Crockett was murdered. . . . Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have ' some work to do." _ I left him standing there and ' walked over to my private office. As I opened the door, 1 glanced ' back at him and saw that he was looking at me with an expression of worried concern stamped al) over his face. Eva Ennis was watching him but there was no longer the rapt

ed by the state and the North Central Association, it is still a private school and the cost of maintaining it is up to the church. At present, St. Ferdinand High School has an* enrollment of about 285 pupils. Nearly everyone who used to live in Ferdinand and moved away comes back to the town, located on Ind. 460. midway between Evansville and Louisville, for the “turtle soup” picnic. If the food reminds new visitors of German cooking, there's a good reason. Ferdinand was founded in 1840 by the Rev. Joseph Kundek, who had in mind developing a community of German Catholics in the wilderness he found when he was assigned to Dubois County. He had named the town in honor of Ferdinand, emperor of Austria. O—--20 Years Ago Today o O Aug. 13, 1939 was Sunday and no paper was published.

admiration in her eyes that a doe gives to a buck who is winning a battle. 1 stood with my hand on the doorknob, the door half-open, watching to see what would happen. , Eva turned away from Palmer and walked directly back to the filing case and began working on the files. I went in, said hello to Elsie Brand, walked on back to my desk and seated myself. Elsie said, “Bertha Cool has been screaming her head off." “Let her scream. The phone will ring pretty quick. The receptionist will tell you a Lionel Palmer wants to see me. Have her tell him to sit down and wait." “The psychological approach?” “That’s right. 1 want him to cool his heels for a while." I settled back in the swivel chair, put my feet on the desk and blew smoke at the ceiling. Within about five seconds the door burst open as though it was being taken off its hinges, and Bertha Cool came barging in. “Where have you been, Donald?" she yelled, her face choleric with indignation. “We’ve got a job to do, and nobody knows what the devil you’re doing. Somebody’s got to prepare a report. I promised Dean Crockett we’d give him daily reports." “That’s nice," I said. "What have you been doing about returning that blowgun and the jade idol?" “I have the jade idol,” I said, opening a drawer tn the desk, taking the idol out and putting it on the blotter. •■What about the blowgun ?” ••The police have that now." •■Well," Bertha said, “it’s about time you—The police? What the devil are the police doing?" “Your friend, Frank Sellers, was interested in the blowgun the last I saw of it." “Frank Sellers? He’s with Homicide. What’s he doing?" "Investigating a homicide." “What homicide?" "Your client, Dean Crockett," I said. “You mean that he’s been . . . that he’s dead?" “Dead as a doornail." “Who killed him?" •They don’t know.” “What was he killed with?" There," T said, “is where we were a little too efficient, Bertha. Someone killed him with the blowgun that we recovered. At least, that’s the way things look at the moment and that’s what Frank Sellers thinks." What angle are you working on? is a challenging question to Donald as “The Comt of Nine” continues tomorrow.

Area Residents Enjoy New Yoik Weekend Tour

Forty-five area residents returned Monday afternoon from a weekend in New York, This year’s weekend trip, the third sponsored by the Decatur Daily Democrat and the Erie railroad, took the passengers not only to Manhattan, but also to the United States Military Academy. The travelers reported fair weather for the trip, with the Exception of Saturday night, when it rained. “You could spend weeks on your own trying to see all that we saw in one weekend,” commented one of the passengers of the guided tour. Saturday morning the Decatur area group, along with other tour passengers and other travelers going on their own, sailed up the Hudson on the "Alexander Hamilton,” traveling the same route as the early Dutch settlers, passing through historical Revolutionary war country and by other famous sites such as Grant’s tomb, Riverside church, George Washington bridge, the Palisades, Tarrytown, Sing Sing Prison, and Bear mountain. In the evening, although it rained, the passengers scattered into smaller groups on their own, going to places from movies and night clubs to touring places such as Pennsylvania station, a famous sight in itself.

The passengers were on their own Sunday morning, when they could attend the churches of their choice. That afternoon, the big Manhattan tour began, with tour conductor L. R. Carpenter. The group saw Ellis Island and could watch the ships leaving and arriving in New York. During the afternoon tour the 49 midwestern passengers (four had joined the tour at Mansfield, O.) saw Manhattan sights from the Little Church Around the Corner to the Bowery to the United Nations. The group stopped in Chinatown, where the passengers discovered policemen have no trouble keeping law and order there. Residents, one Decatur passenger put it, are expected to be peaceful if they are to live there, and the population in Chinatown take care of their own needy people: Wall Street, the passengers found out, was so narrow that tour traffic is permitted only on Sunday. The street, heart of New York’s financial district, is so narrow, one passenger said, that it is hard .to see how two cars can pass each other. Near the end of the tour, at the United Nations headquarters, the group also stopped to see the great U. N. assembly room, where there are meetings almost constantly,

The secretariat, however,, is not the only famed building in this city of skyscrapers. For instance, two years ago, when the first New York tour was Sponsored from this area, there was one being built of glass and steel. Now, there is a 30-story building under construction of glass and alumium.
