Juvenile Delinquent? ■■BEP'’'-''* Moat everyone realizes that a person that commits a serious crime and who is under 18 years of age is a “delinquent child.” But few realize that an act went into effect last March 12 that carefully defines just what a “delinquent child” in Indiana is. Here are some of the things that will make your . child delinquent, and you responsible (numbers are from the sub-paragraphs of Section 1, Chapter 237, of the acts of 1959): (11) Wanders about the streets of any city, or on or about any highway or public place between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. without being on any lawful business or occupation. (8) Is incorrigible, ungovernable, or habitually disobedient and beyond the control of his parents, guardian, or other custodian. (4) Is habitually truant (Have any of the girls been skipping school yet this year?) (5) Without just cause and without the consent of his parent, guardian, or other custodian, repeatedly « deserts home or place of abode. (14) Uses vile, obscene, vulgar, or indecent language. (17) Is guilty of indecent or immoral conduct. (18) Deports himself so as to willfully injure or endanger the morals or health of himself or others. (Smoking is against the law for minors.) (19) Deports himself so as to willfully injure or endanger the person or property of himself or others. (Watch out for halloween damage—or painting of signs and public property.) There are several other sections of this law—especially the one which makes it an offense to associate with immoral or vicious persons. These are for all young people under the age of 18. They apply to boys or girls. Every parent has the right to require of his children strict compliance with this ' law. If the parents do not, and do not complain to the juvenile court themselves, then they are guilty of contributing to the delinquency of their own children. This means that parents are responsible for their children until they reach 18 years of age; it means that any act by. the child implies the permission of the parents. : Young people out for a good time should reflect seriously—will your conduct bring shame on yourself and .your parents? Will your conduct ruin your reputation, spoil your school fun for the next few years? Don’t blame the police, the newspapers, the court, later on—just remember, it is your own action and deportment that bring you either pleasure and enjoyment or shame, punishment, and misery. It is your choice.

Urges Nation Double Funds For Missiles HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (UPD-Two of the nation’s top missile experts were in agreement today that the United States should be spending double its present amounts to keep this country from falling further behind in the space race. Dr. Wernher von Braun, Ger-man-born space scientist, said Tuesday he was convinced that if Russia halted its space project now, it would still take up one to three years to catch up. Von Braun, director of development for the Army Ballistic Missile Center at Redstone Arsenal here, blamed the lag on complacency, Washington red tape and lack of funds. "We have the brains, the resources, and the capability,” Von Braun said, but we should be spending twice as much as we now are for space projects. Von Braun was seconded in this evaluation by Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris, commander of the Army missile agency at Huntsville. He noted that although Congress has appropriated every cent the administration has asked for, “we could use twice as much/ money as we now have.” Von Braun said the United States may be on a par with Russia in the development of war missiles, particularly the intercontinental ballistic missile, but that he has been "alarmed all along” by their space capabilities and was not in the least surprised when they succeeded in hitting the moon. He said it may be three years before the first Saturn rocket, which will be capable of delivering a 25-ton payload to the moon, is launched. By that time he said, the Russians possibly will have advanced beyond the Saturn capabilities. “At the present time,” he said, “we do not have the carrier payload capability .. . We have the guidance system necessary, but the important thing is match the size and magnitude of the present Russian lunar rocket.” Otherwise, he said, "when our young scientists blast off into space they will meet Russian customs officer.”

Frank Sellers walked over to Sylvia and Inspector Giddings. He was in great good bumor. “AH right, sister." he said to Sylvia, “we’re on our way." They climbed in the squad car.

Pupils Back To Blasted School

HOUSTON, Tex. (UPI) — Children returned to classes at Edgar A. Poe elementary school today where a madman bomber turned a play period into a nightmare of horror and left six persons dead and 19 others injured. Authorities scheduled classes to'day even though windows in the school were snattered by Tuesday’s blast that tossed bits of human flesh on children at play. The madman was Paul Harold Orgeron, a 49-year-oid former convict. He carried his bomb in a big black suitcase and apparently touched it off with a timing device he worked with his foot. Orgeron killed himself, his own seven-year-old son, Paul, two other seven year old boys, a heroic school custodian and a school teacher. He might have killed more but for the quick work of teachers who herded some of the charges back into the building when Orgeron, after trying to gather a group of children around him, yelled that he had a bomb. One of the seven-year-old boys killed was Johnny C. Fitch, the grandson of Vice Adm. Aubrey W. Fitch who was second in command to the late Adm. William Halsey during the Pacific fighting in World War 11. The other victims were Bill Hawes, 7; custodian James A. Montgomery, 56; and the teacher, Mrs. Jeannie A. Koulter, 56. So shattering was the blast that it was several hours before Orgeron’s identity could be established by fingerprints on a severed hand found in the schoolyard. Montgomery's head was blown off when he tried to rush the former convict. All of the injured were pupils except Mrs. R.E. Doty, the principal. She lost a leg while answering a summons to investigate a scene caused by Orgeron. Squeaky Floorboards You can often silence squeaky floorboards merely by pouring some liquid soap into the cracks between the troublesome boards. The soap acts as a lubricant where the boards rub together, and it should be applied hot to assure penetration into the wood fibers.

ing than you have co. Tel) them! you're waiting for me, that I’ve phoned Tm on my way up there. Be sure to teU them that” 1 didn’t wait to give her a chance to ask questions or argue but bung up the phone. It was hall an hour before Bertha got there. She looked at me and said. “What a blankety-blank mess!" “That’s what 1 told you. You brought the suitcase?" "Yea" “Got any money?" "What do you mean, have I got any money?" 1 said, "Mine's gone." “Now look. Donald,” Bertha said, "you've got a right to carry a gun. Tour license gives you the right to do that. Why don't you get one so you can protect yourself instead of letting everybody beat you up?" “Guns." I said, "cost sixty to seventy-five dollars—a good kind of a gun that I'd want to carry. Then every time they beat me up they’d take the gun away, and Td go broke buying guns.” "You would, at that," Bertha agreed, without any sympathy. “Now you tvant a car. How the devil am / going to get back to my apartment?" “There’s a phone," I said. “Cali a taxi while I’m changing my clothes. Charge it on an expense account to Mrs. Crockett If you want I’ll phone tor the cab and pay for it, but 1 want some money.” Bertha took out her purse grudgingly, counted out five dollars and said, “That’s going to last you until tomorrow morning . ths idea of having me run around at night playing chauffeur tor you. What happened to the agency car?" "About tomorrow morning," I said, “you'll bear from the police department, maybe sooner. They'll ask what’s the idea of leaving the agency car parked in front of a fireplug." “You think they’ll park It to front of a fireplug?" she asked. "Absolutely." “You do the darnedest things," Bertha groaned, and squeezed herself Into ths telephone booth to phone for a taxi. I took the suitcase to the washroom. changed my clothes, sponged off some -t the dried blood on my face, and surveyed the swollen wreckage to the wavy mirror. By the time I came out Bertha had left to the cab. 1 checked the gas to the car she had brought. It was half full. 1 drove back down Carrolton Drive and took a look at Jasper’s house as 1 went by. There was a police car to front of the place. They were still sitting on Jasper, waiting until Sellers could get back with a search warrant.

The annual institute for teachers in the Adams county rural schools was held here today, with morning and afternoon sessions. The Decatur works of the General Electric Co. was awarded first place in the Fort Wayne works area for good housekeeping in August, with a rating of 91.18 for the month. German troops attacked in force on both the Polish and French fronts. The Decatur Yellow Jackets lost their home football opener to the Bluffton Tigers, 7-6.

I drove down about half a block and parked the car. Putting two and two together, 1 knew that While 1 had been talking with Jasper he had only pretended to hear the phone ring in the other part of the house. What had actually happened, he'd gone to the phone and called his goons, told them to come and take care of me. In order to do that the men he called had to be close by. There wasn’t time for them to have eome from any distance. I felt pretty certain these men would be abreast of developments and would be keeping an eye on the place, so 1 cheeked the license number of every automobile that went past on Carrolton Drive. A ear came by that slowed down as tt went past Jasper's house. 1 got my ear Into motion and caught up with the other ear about four blocks down the street. It was a late model sedan, license number NFE 789. Two fellows were to the front seat. They were big guys and I felt pretty certain the man at the wheel was the ape who had kicked at my ribs when I had grabbed his foot and pulled Mm down to the ground. They turned to the right on 54th Street. I kept right on going to 53rd. then made a U-turn, beat tt back to the place where Td been, and waited. In about five minutes the same car drove past again. Once more 1 followed ths ear. This time they drove down to the service station and stopped. The big man got out from behind the wheel and went into ths phone booth. I parked half a block down the street In about two minutes the big man dashed out of the phore booth, jumped in the car and they went away from there fast I tagged along behind, taking a chance, keeping as close as 1 dared. They mads three right turns around the block, got back to Carrdltoh Drive, turned left and went to 61st Street They turned right on 61st. then turned left into a driveway. 1 marked the place, went on down 61st for two blocks, made a U-turn and came back. Their car was to the driveway. The men were at the front door at a tittle bungalow. A moment later they entered and lights came on to the bungalow. 1 parked my car and hurried over to the sedan to the driveway. 1 put on gloves and tried ths door. It was unlocked. . , « “The police get there right M schedule. They were plenty mad ...“ And Donald is caught tn his own trap as the story reaches • climax tomorrow.

First Forecast Os Frost For Indiana United Press International, A wave of cold air, accompanied by a drizzle, swept across Indiana today and kept temperatures in the chilly 40s at high noon with frost forecast as a possibility tonight. At Indianapolis, light rain fell in late morning. At noon, the temperature was only 48 degrees, arid forecasters abruptly revised downward their predictions of the day's top readings. The first forecasts of frost were made in the overnight predictions. They were limited to the extreme north portion, and the Weather Bureau didn’t flatly predict frost—it said there was a “chance” of frost. At 11 a.m. the mercury had climbed to 70 in the Louisville area, 65 at Evansville and 63 in the Cincinnati area. But elsewhere it was considerably chillier with Lafayette and Fort Wayne recording 49, Indianapolis 50, Terre Haute and South Bend 54. The forecast called for temperatures no lower than the mid 30s upstate. Nevertheless, frequently the mercury drops a few degrees lower in scattered low spots than the forecast range. The possibility of frostwas enhanced by the prospect for clearing skies by tonight. Before the mercury skidded, it hit the 80s over the southern half of the state Tuesday afternoon, including 82 at ndianapolis and the Cincinnati area, 83 at Evansville and 86 in the Louisville area. Upstate, however, temperatures were nearly 20 degrees cooler at top points, with South Bend and the Chicago area recording 66 and Fort Wayne 67. Overnight lows included 44 at South. Bend, 47 at Fort Wayne, 50 at Lafayette, 53 at Indianapolis and 56 at Evansville. Light rain which had been predicted for the central area failed to materialize, and none was expected the rest of this week. Highs today will range from the upper 50s to 70, and the day may be the coolest since last spring. Lows tonight will be in the low 40s in the central portion and 44 to 50 south. Highs Thursday will range from 57 to the mid 60s. The five-day outlopk called for temperatures averaging 5 to 10 degrees below normal highs of 71 to 82 and normal lows of 51 to 63 for the period ending next Monday. “Little temperature change until warming trend beginning over the weekend.” the outlook said, adding that there will be little or no precipitation. Six Local Students At International. Six Decatur students resumed studies at the International Business College Monday, taking professional courses in accounting, secretarial and private secretarial.
