Timothy! Mrs Weiderbacker's just been
shot. They found her in the music room!'
Within few seconds, they were both in
Trant's automobile, Freda's cold forgotten in
the excitement
That nephew!' painted Freda. Il always
knew he was dangerous"
Gordon Groves? Daisy's husband?"
Freda shifted. ''Of course not Poor Gordon's
in bed with broken leg. It's Miles Groves,
the other nephew. He's been parasite for
years. This morning he showed up with some
terrible burlesque woman. He'd just married
her and calmly expected Mrs. Weiderbacker
to welcome her with open arms
There was dreadful scene. Mrs. Weider-
hacker told me all about it on the phone She
was going to cut off his allowance and change
her will. And now i. i. . oh, poor Mrs. Weider-
backerp'
So that was how the bWlesque queen fitted
into the pattern. A very sinister pattern it
seemed.
Soon they arrived at Mrs. Weiderbacker's
impressive tree-screened mansion. In the hall
way. Daisy Groves, her pretty face red and
swollen and her eyes wet, rushed toward
Freda. The two women clutched each other.
At that moment the local police drove up, and
Trant identified himself to the tough, round
faced inspector.
An anxious, lowering butler took them both
through the living room toward the music
room. He had discovered the body. After Mrs.
Weiderbacker had spoken to Freda and left
Daisy in the-hall on the phone, she had sent
the butler to the tool shed for some garden
twine. When he brought it to the music room
few minutes later, he had found her dead.
you heard no shot?" barked the inspector.
Il heard muff1ed report. the butler said,
but simply thought it the baclfre of an
automobile"
As the butler opened the heavy music room
door, Trant and the Inspector were almost
suffocated by the s,nging scent of roses On
three long tables, the rose show entries of all
the local ladies blazed in resplendent glory -
and on the carpet in front of them, large,
stately and formidable even in death, lay Mrs.
chintzed bosom.
The Inspector picked up gun. Whose is
this?"
Mrs. Weiderbacker's, sir She kept it in
the desk drawer

This coming Saturday, there is
to be a bake sale at Patterns Ap-
pliance store here in Caldwell
at 1000 o'clock. This event is
sponsored by the Freshman and
Sophomore classes of CHS, who
are trying to raise money for the
annual holiday dance.
The annual dance is one of the
three formal dances held for the
student body of Caldwell high
school during the school year.
This particular event came into
existance last year without any
definite sponsor and was such a
great success that it has been
decided to continue it as an an
nual affair. The student council
voted to give the responsibility
to those two classes because the
Junior and Senior classes have
enough on their hands to keep
them quite busy.
When you stop to think, it is
very unusual that school of our
size holds three formal dances a
year. The first one is the holiday
dance (Jan. ., the second is the
spring concert dance in March
and the lastly, the Junior Senior
prom in May.
Both of the new teachers at
CHS seem to be very we'll liked
and both have gone into their
jobs full steam ahead" Two
weeks ago, this paper carried an
editorial praising Mr.. Tuecke for
his work in the vocal music field
SO l believe that it is only fitting
that some mention be given Mr..
Dahood.
All one would have to do to
see he is a man who knows his
business is to enter the industrial
arts shop. If and when you did
this, you could tell at glance
that it has been under new
supervision this past year. He has
done wonders in reorganizing the
entire layout. For instance, in
stead of the haphazard method
of arranging tools, which has
been the custom in the past, a
new system has been developed
and practiced. I realize that all
of this is not actually new in the
field of industry or in larger
schools, but it is something new
in Caldwell.
Besides being a very efficient
industrial arts teacher, Mr..
Dahood has a very jolly person
atty. He seems to like Caldwell
and as matter of fact, he men
toned to me one evening that he
was certainly lucky. asked him
why and he said, "Since I've been
here, have been invited to more
banquets with such good food.
Maybe it is just a custom of the
town but it sure is nice"
There is an old accepted saying
do unto others as you would
have others do unto you" This
may or may not be good saying
but it is a wise one. Perhaps it
should be considered by some.
This is the Christmas season.
The words that should ring in all
ears and come from all lips and
remain in all minds are Peace
on earth and Good will to all
men,"

form breakwaters. The rarmittee
now proposes to dredge the first
aforementioned channel about
so feet wide and S feet deep and
to install two 20" concrete Gull
verts at the shoreward end there
of TO connect with two proposed
channels extending generally
parallel to the shore along the
entire water front of said prop
erty. The two latter channels
would be about 40 feet wide and
5 feet deep.
Plans of this work may be seen
at the office of the District En-
gineer, Corps of Engineers, SIS
Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville,
Florida, and at the office of the
Resident Engineer, Corps of En-
gineers, foot of Collins Avenue,
Miami Beach, Florida.
1t is not proposed to hold a
public hearing on this applica-
ton. Anyone desiring to submit
a protest based on the proposition
that the proposed work would
unreasonably interfere with pub
lie navigation, or would unfavor-
ably affect the navigable capacity
of the said waterway, should sub
NIT such protest in writing in
sufficient detail to permit of a
clear understanding of the rea-
sons therefor.
The Federal courts have ruled
that the decision of the Depart
ment of the Army on the appli-
cation must be based entirely
on the effect the proposed work
would have upon navigation, and
not on its effect on property
values or other considerations
having nothing to do with navi.
cation. A Department of the
Army permit is merely waiver
Of objections insofar as public
rights of navigation are concern
ed. It confers no franchise or
property rights. nor does it in
my way abridge any right which
my aggrieved person would have
had under any law, had the per-
rrit not been issued. Protests
based on effects on public nsvi-
alton should be addressed to the
district Engineer, Corps of En-
ineers, p. o. Box 4970, Jackson
lille, Florida, in time to be re-
eived on or before August 4,

Not since the first quarter Of

Profits hit their peak at the start
of 1851 and have shrunk ever since
in large part because new and
higher tax rates went into effect
for business in April, 1851.
Yet the dividend rates have been
holding up. The New York Stock
Exchange reports that cash pay
ments on common stocks listed on
the big board set a new high in the
first six months of his year, with
a gain of per cent over pay

Month by month this PARKWAY

American families. 1t has cost
more than 11s 900 casualties. II has
been raised as a major political
issue.
Vet il remains "the forgotten

Unfortunately, it is a war that
won't 20 away, and America may
still have men stationed on a bat
tle front in Korea after it inducts
its second millionth draftee.
The odd thing about the Korean
combat picture is that the morale
of the American fighting man has
picked up, while interest at home
has steadily waned.
"Why are we in Korea at all?"
Ask the average man in the street
that question, and he might be
hard put for an answer.
But the American soldier in Kor-
ca now has a pretty good idea
why he is there.
Take Pfc. George Whitenour, for
example. He is a member OF the
St. Barnabas Lutheran Church in
Queens. So is John r. Crooks, a
veteran newspaper librarian.
Some time ago Crooks, who is
s., decided to put out a one-man
newspaper for the members of the
church who are in the armed serv-
ice. His gossippy news sheet now
circulates to 70 young soldiers,
sailors and airmen, scattered
around the world. It knits them
to their old home neighborhood.
Recently, Pfc. Whitenour. wrote
a letter of gratitude from Korea,
and this is what he said:
eve have church services over
here In our mess tent, and they
sure give a lift to the boys morale.
But miss st. Barnabas; it is a
beautiful church.

Reds too much. I'm glad that /

of the world.
