D. The post adopted a resolution by Past National Commander Lynn U. Stambaugh, urging that during the first hour of the conference, all business houses in America be closed,' and that services be held in all churches of the nation when "Prayers shall be offered to Almighty God for His divine guidance and support in the labors and deliberations of the conference and for the complete success of the measures there adopted for the future prevention of war." This suggestion, coming during this Holy Week, is most appropriate. Although .Christ knew that rejection and death lay ahead, He was supported by the same faith and was upheld by the same hope that today, is ours for the asking. Because His Today Was related to God, His Tomorrow could be trusted to the same source of all goodness, truth and love. God is available to the World today, as He was to Jesus, almost 2,000 years ago. Our. World of Tomorrow rests upon the humility, forgiveness, love, generosity, good will and faith which we hold Today. At this period in the world's history,, when the peaceloving nations are planning to meet at San Francisco, let us all as individuals of those nations, support our representatives by knowing just where true government is. Let us pray that our leaders may realize and understand that "the government shall be upon His shoulder: upon the shoulders of the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the - Prince of Peace." (Isaiah)", and that God will guide them and all men in making the right decisions.

The citation read, in part: "For meritorious achevement while participating in more than one hundred hours of aerial flight over enemy-held ' territory in Assam and Burma where exposure to enemy fire was probr.ble and expected. Their missions were accomplished in unarmed cargo aircraft bearing troops, supplies, and heavy equipment over hazardous mountain terrain .into the' forward j areas.

SNBIiLff CHAPTER TWENTY Aggie did not reply. He bad a feeling that, if there were human bones in the coupe which . Hank Bogarty had driven from Seattle to the outskirts of Indian Stones, certain persons in that colony were going to find themselves in a horrid sweat. The thought gave him a moment of detached and somewhat sadistic amusement: a few human bones in' the car of the man nobody wished to discuss ought to elicit the whole truth about Mr. Bogarty. They walked under the red pines. Captain Wicknian pulled open tha coupe's rumpled door. The bones were on the floor. Aggie bent over and the trooper waited inteptly. "Veal," Aggie said presently. "Calf, that is." He picked up one of them. A little meat clung to it waterlogged and pallid. "Here's the mark of a butcher's cleaver. This end was sawed.. And here I think" He smiled slightly. "Wes, make a note lhi.t Mr. Bogarty had a . dog medium-sized " He stopped talking, His smile vanished. He saw -ihe look in his own eyes, reflected in the eyes of the olliin-r. "Yeah. Caliler was bitten by a dug that size. Size of ii fox as Jack said the other night." A memory (lashed into his mind. "What color is the mutt the chef owns at the club?" "All colors. Brimlle mostly." Aggie dropped the veal hone back on the car floor. He wiped his fingers delicately on a bandanna. "See here. Wes. I'd forgotten this. Kind of thing you do forget. I saw a fox at the crack of dawn the night Calder was killed. Black one or silver. I thought it was a dog, at first. I was sure it was and I can't seem to recall why. I wouldn't make such a mistake once in a thousand times " He broke off. The state trooper's face was urgent with the wish to speak. "Bogarty raised silver foxes as a hobby! We had that in a routine report on him." - Aggie sat down on the running hoard of the coupe, which was still damp. He took out his pipe. "Exactly what, did that report say ? The whole business." "Routine police stuff. Bogarty was well known in British Columbia. Well-iiked, for that matter. Served in the last war with the Canadians. Got to be a captain. He was well fixed. Owned some good mines. Nobody has any complete information about his dough which is the status of most wealthy guys. He's supposed to have found one. deposit long ago that; made him a fortune. But he' worked it himself exhausted it himself, possibly because nobody knows whether that strike is included in his present properties or not. Those were sourdough days and Bogarty wasn't talking any more than the others. He volunteered for this war and they wouldn't take him. Came sented to Private First Class William O. Pittman, son of Mrs. Sarah A. Pittman of' Sullivan, rural route three. Pfc. Pittman earned his Bronze Star medals for meritorious service in campaigns termed by military forces as the Normandy iNo. 3. the Northern France No. 2, and the German No. 1 war cam1 paigns. He has been in active ! duty since July 2nd, 1944. servI ing with the 106th Mechanized Cavalry Group. ' ' In addition to his thrice-won I Bronze Star c:ccorauon, this Sullivan County soldier wears the Purple Heart for wounds received in actior and one Oak Leaf Cluster for ! the- second award of the same. He also wears the Good Conduct Medal. Pfc. Pittman entered the service September 28th, 1942, and was transferred to overseas duty February 24th of last year. They'll Do It Every

down to the States to see what he could do to arouse interest in the British cause. He's been living in Seattle for a considerable time. Year or more. Liked there. An 'Aid Britain'- campaigner. Nothing against him at all. Big man gray hair looks younger than his age helped the Mounted Police once or twice. The kind of guy, judging from the reports, that you'd enjoy knowing. The kind, too, that you'd hate to cross up or double-cross." Aggie had listened to the recital with the seeming of incomplete attention. He knew what the trooper had said but he was not thinking about it. "I can't imagine " he began. Wes flung an empty tobacco tin into the lake. He held out his hand for the scientist's pouch. "I can easily. Your aunt Waite Davis Calder did business long ago with this honest son of nature. Calder well, you know his reputation, Bogarty came on to see his old pals perhaps to enlist their influence for the English and arrived say around eleven. Found nobody at Sarah's pinned up his card and reached Calder's after Gannon had turned in " Aggie was tapping the coupe with his pipe. "Didn't arrive. Went into the drink on this curve " "You know what I'm going to say! Bogarty arrived and he eventually went to see Calder. Probably tried Waite after Sarah. Hung around. He knew the crowd would be here because they always arrived every year on the twentieth. So Bogarty drove in at Calder's. I wish I'd done more looking at tire tracks the night we found Calder! Too much rain, since. Anyhow Bogarty went in and began to catch up with what had happened to his old friends in the last thirty-six years " "Long as that, eh?" Wes nodded. "He went out in 1905. They told me that much. He was about twenty-six or so, at the time. He'd be over sixty now and not showing it. So he found out something about Calder he couldn't stand. Argued. Maybe even fought. Calder was a pugnacious devil. Maybe Bogarty banged him one. Killed him, anyway. Then what? Make it look like an accident. Bogarty is a woodsman. The deadfall dodge would naturally occur to him. He took an ax and Calder's body and pushed up on the side of Garnet Knob. There was a moon. He could have used a lantern or a flashlight, too. Nobody around. He chopped down those tree fixed up a deadfall put Calder in it tripped it on hihi " Aggie looked annoyed. "Oh, sure. Then he drove away ran his car off the road here and beat it. Look, Wes. If he did that, how did he know we'd find his car and assume he was dead?" "Maybe he just didn't want us to find it at all. Wanted us to think, TODAY'S MARKETS INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 30.

instead, that he'd never come to Indian Stones. That he'd vanished." "How did he know you'd had enough trouble with local trappers to make the deadfall plausible in those woods? I've never seen one up here before." "I have. Smaller ones. But 1 said Bogarty had lived in rugged country most of his life. A man stumbling into a deadfall would be his idea of a good cover-up for a killing. He's the sort who might easily kill his man. Perhaps he has before. Perhaps he's even seen somebody killed acciden'Ally in a deadfall. It has happened, you know. He evidently doesn't care for cities and society " "A sound quality," Aggie muttered. "so if we grant he killed Calder we can assume that he would try to make it look accidental erase his own tracks like an Indianand scram back to British Columbia or some other end of the earth." Aggie's lips were pursed and his forehead was wrinkled. "It could be," he answered. "But since he called on Sarah before ten and Calder left us, alive and kicking an hour and a half later he 'hung around' somewhere a long time. Still! Find Bogarty, hunh?" "Absolutely." The scientist frowned himself into abstraction. "Ill insist on getting everything about him, now whether we pull up his body or not I've got photographs coming." "Ever consider Calder and Bogarty might have both, been killed?" Aggie asked absently. "We'll skip that till we have something to indicate it, hunh ? What the devil are you' c earning about?" "About why I thought that fox was a dog," Aggie replied. "Look. The bait? The honey and the bread?" The trooper grinned. "I was expecting you to come to that. The bread half a loaf sold locally. Popular kind. Some of the same in most of the cottages. My men worked on' that through the servants, of course. The honey is the same. I mean a common brand. We didn't find an open bottle of that particular sort in any house. There was a full, closed bottle of the same kind clover at Waite's place. But there was also some at the clubwhere anybody could have borrowed it in the big pantry. A dozen bottles. Untouched. Ready fbr the season. And a dozen on the iinven tory. But an additional bottle" coulc have been a carry-over frorii last year. Oh heck! We can skip tht bread and honey angle, because anybody with fifty cents could have both and would likely get those brands, if he didn't specify." (To be continued) Convrlshl, 1043.

The Commentator's Corner (By Joe Adams)

Many people report that they can't recall an earlier spring. March generally brings a few warm days but interspersed with many blustery and cold days to say nothing of heavy snows. The mild weather that has continued almost throughout the month has certainly been compensation for a really "rough" winter. The fact remains that freezing weather can "still happen here" and fruit growers in particular have-cause to be fretful. Trees and budding plants are far advanced at this date and peach orchards are in full bloom, despite the fact that on March first they were more dormant than ever known in this part of the state due to the steady winter weather which held the buds back. Unusually high temperatures of the last three weeks have caused early maturity of peach and other fruit buds. Prospects are good for a fine fruit crop if the weatherman behaves himself for the next few weeks. The California bigamist who has been married twelve times told the judge that he must be insane. As if anybody thought that he wasn't. Tokyo radio reports that eight influential Japanese have formed a "20 year war society" to advocate a 20-year war against . the United States and Britain. Another striking example of wishful thinking, 1 no doubt. Steakeasy is another word that Webster never heard about. The Limburg-Frankfurt military highway in Germany which has been prominent in the war news of late seems to smack or smell of a pre-war, double-deck sandwich. SOCIETY Birthday Dinner A number of friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mrs. Ella Anderson, South Side Oakley Apartments, Tuesday, March 27,- in honor of her birthday. A bountiful dinner was served at noon. Mrs. Anderson received many lovely cards and gifts and a very delightiul day was enjoyed by all. Those present were Mrs. Lillie Woodward, Mrs. Elvira Wolfe, Mrs. Ethel Kasingcr, Mrs. Noah Scott, Mrs. Daisy Gore. Mrs. Mary Gore and daughter, Jean, Mrs. Hazel McCammon and Mrs. Stella Alsman.

Hoosiers Accept Quotas In 7th War Bond Drive

INDIANAPOLIS, March 30. Hoosiers today were taking their first step toward achievement of the $167,000,000 war bond buying goal for individuals assigned the 'state in the Seventh War Loan i as men anc. women who buy I bonds ' where they work signed for increased payroll savings for three months or for cash purchases to meet personal quotas .based on their earnings, Eber M. ISpence, chairman of the Indiana , war finance committee's payroll savings division, said today. Hundreds of rallies are being held over the state to open employe group campaigns in industrial plants, stores and offices, Mr. Spence said. In Indianapolis alone, 52,209 employes in 127 concerns already haye accepted quotas totaling $4,619,913, or approximately onefourth of the city's $19,000,000 E bond quota, the chairman reported. Other campaigns are under way in stores, offices and factories from Lake Michigan to the Ohio River, said Mr. Spence. "This is practically two borrowing campaigns in oiie," Mr. Spence explained. "We are inviting every thinking American to join with us in smashing our enemies completely with this big punch and at the same time I to save dollars or war bonds in ! order to protect the dollars that , must be spent for necessities. ' This is definitely a fight against ' high prices aiUl inflation."
