Votes And Pictures This week we put out a plea for two things—first, for all Democrats to consider the men running for the nomination for governor next summer, and indicate on a ballot whom they would prefer at this time as a candidate. Second, we asked that anyone who lives in, or knows of, a house built in Adams county between 1860 and 1900, write or come in and tell us about it, where it is located, when built, and who owns it. The Indiana Historical Society is preparing a study to be published on domestic architecture in Indiana for that period, and they want Adams county represented. So far we have received six ballots and one picture of a home. Perhaps most of the Democrats feel that they do not know enough about the candidates for governor, so next week we will run some more information on them, and continue the ballot. • • • • YOUR BALLOT (Please mail to the Decatur Daily Democrat, Decatur, Ind.; your choice will be tabulated with all those received, and the results printed, if enough returns are received).

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER LOST SAUCE It takes a lot of planning to run a restaurant the size and class of the Fairway. Clete Miller spends a lot of time and energy trying to give the customers the best for the least. This summer he had one of his best ideas. Always, during the holidays, certain products which are seasonal have a decided increase in price. This fall, before the price zoomed up, Clete invested in several cases of a holiday product, planning to put them in the freezer, and lie ahead of the game. The product—cranberries. The Fairway's cranberries are all from the east coast, but Miller doesn’t think that's going to make much difference to the customers. And for once, he was going to be all set. BUSINESS SLUMP Dr. R. E. Allison. Decatur veterinarian, was walking down the street one day, and was met by Dave Heller. Dave asked Doc if he had ever treated a hippopotamus. Dr. Allison answered no. Dave then asked if the veterianarian had ever treated a kangaroo, and again the doctor had to answer no. Then the question was, have you ever treated a giraffeAgain the answer was negative. Dave walked on, saying, “you sure don’t have much of a business, do you?’’ FOR POSTERITY Winnie Begun, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Begun, was scared when the men stopped her last week while she was riding her bike. Then, she was quite pleased when she learned that she was to be awarded one of the Chicago Motor Club’s safety awards. At first, like most of us, the young lady was anxious to cash the check and" reward herself. After doing this though, she got to thinking. She decided she wasn’t being fair. So. Dad had to go down to the bank, return the money, and bring the check back to Winnie. Her reason- She wants to show it to her children and grandchildren, as a good example. DING DONG Cecil (Red) Shaffer is proud of his large collection of clocks that decorate his restaurant. Jfe travels around quite a bit to add to the assortment. One of his greatest sources of pride is the clock on top of the building. Red states, and we’d have to agree with him, that it is one of the few privately owned tower clocks in the United States. He picked it up from the Rockford, Ohio, court house. The works are in the building, and the and cables run up to the hands. Guess what the brand is? The well-known and oft-quoted Seth Thomas. HERE WE GO GATHERING That this had been a mild fall is an understatement. On Veterans day, we received proof of same. A lady brought in a small bunch of violets, and the bloomin’ things were blooming. Not being a woods-wanderer, this seems quite unusual. A glance at the calendar also shows that this is not the violet season. Anyway, there they were, calendar or no. You can’t argue with facts like that. Better get the swimming suits out—summer is just around the corner. WINTER’S HERE I like .to walk in the snowy winter night. ’ Watching the velvet flakes settle to rest from their long fall, Covering the sleeping earth with a clean crystaline shawl. And making common things abstract statues white. Listening to the wind whisper on its flight, Or the muffled drop of a cone that was blown to the ground. An icicles fall, ending in a gentle, tinkling sound. I like to walk in the snowy winter night.

Special Tribute To Author Os Ben Hur CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. ’(UPI) —For a book that received only a one-line notice when it came but in 1880, Gen. Lew Wallace’s “Ben Hur” is getting a lot of attention 79 years later. Wallace, the Civil War general who wrote the book and several others in his Crawfordsville home, was paid special tribute today in his home town, but oddly enough the attention is centered only on “Ben Hur.” Tom Wood Baldridge, Winchester, Va., who has been in Crawfordsville helping plan the anniversary procession, luncheon and book presentation cereAiony, said the stress on “Ben Hur” is due to a resurgence of interest in the Civil War and has nothing to do With the fact that Hollywood (MGM) will produce another spectacular by the same name. Wallace’s other books, including “The Fair God” and “The Prince of India,” sort of run a poor chariot race in today’s events to “Ben Hur.” • "Ben Hur” was almost ignored by the book critics and reading public when it first made its appearance Nov. 14, 1880- Sales began snowballing later. Now more than two and a half million copies have been sold, and it has spread into drama, cinima and music. In addition to an earlier movie production in 1925, starring Ramon Navarro as Ben Hur, there have been six or seven dramas written from the book, including one by William Young witten under Wallace’s supervision. A one-reel movie on “Ben Hur” made its appearance in 1907 and the story first hit radio and television in 1952. There are about 20 songs attributed to the book, including at least two chariot race marches. “Ben Hur” as a book has had at least 22 American editiions and 33 British ones. Hie book has been published in at least 28 languages and for the first time, the Crawfordsville library has copies ot an ZU. It received them as part of the ceremony today. Mrs. Cecil M. Harden, assistant postmaster general for women’s affairs, and

a former Hoosier congresswoman, was the principal speaker at a luncheon culminating the procession to .Wallace’s Crawfordsville home, where he lived in later years. Wallace was born in Brookville in 1827 and at the age of 18 was a reporter on the old Indianapolis Daily Journal. He also was a lwyed briefly and served in the Indiana state senate. He probably thought during his lifetime he was most distinguished as a soldier and diplomat rather than an author. For he served with the First Indiana Infantry during the Mexican War and then became a general in the Union Army during the Civil War. He was minister to Turkey from 1881-1885. During an earlier governmental duty as governor of the New Mexico Territory he is credited with having offered a pardon to William Bonney—Billy the Kid—but the offer was not accepted and Billy was killed a short time later Mrs. Harden, In addition to speaking, also mailed the first copy of a special postoffice "Ben Hur Day” cachet to Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose birthday anniversary is today. Also Mrs. Eisenhower received from the Indiana Society of Washington a first edition copy of “Ben Hur” as a birthday gift.
