Editorial—
Do You Worry?
It Is surprising how time seems to take care of most
at life’s problems, even though some of them seem in-
soluble at the moment,
Nevertheless, time is the greatest healer of all, and
•ven the most melancholy turn of events can be soft-
ened, and even erased, by the passage of time.
We mention this because life today is a great strain
because of the fight for the dollar, and the pace today
Is one which has created tremendous mental and psy-
chological problems, as well as nervous disorders, frus-
trations and disillusionment, in many cases.
The psychiatrists say that the mind is a wonderfui
instrument, which gradually blocks out unpleasant
memories and experiences and heals over wounds, in a
beautiful fashion, given adequate time.
Therefore, we suggest that the worries and the fret-
ters relax a bit and outlive many of life's dally vexations
and irritations A serene philosophy, based on know-
ledge. faith, and other encouraging thought, will do
wonders for you, your personality and your health. Try

ART AT NEW THRILLER
THE,
Your Tax Saving
By this time the average wageearner has become
accustomed to those extra dollars in his paycheck stem-
ming from the tax cut bill and Is happily conjuring up
ways and means of spending them.
He'd be well advised not to blow the whole wad,
however because the reduction looks better than It really
. is, and some of the windfall will have to go back to
Uncle Sam one of these days.
That’s true because of the way the bill was drawn.
The reduction is a two-stage affair under which the
minimum tax rate is being lowered this year from 20
to 16 per cent, with the cut to 14 per cent not going
into effect until 1065.
Notwithstanding that, President Johnson has order-
ed that withholding be based on the 14 per cent rate
from inception of the bill's effect in order to channel as
much money as possible into the economy now.
That means fatter paychecks for the moment but
longer faces for many taxpayers next winter. The year’s
levies will still be based on the 16 per cent for the 10
months after March 1, and a lot of people hoping for
refunds will find themselves owing money instead.
The bite will hit particularly hard on those in the
middle and upper income brackets, though everyone
will feel it to some extent I
The proverbial “rainy day" will come for them some-
time between Jan. 1st and April 15, 1965.

CHAPTER 13
YV/HO WAS Mr. Deloney?"
" I asked Helen Haggerty's
mother, Mrs. Hoffman.
“Luke Deloney," she said,
“was a successful contractor Ui
Bridgeton and throughout the
state. He owned our apartment
building, and others in town.
Mrs. Deloney still owns them.
She was one of the famous Os-
borne sisters In Bridgeton. Their
father was the U.8. Senator."
“You say Deloney was shot
In the building where you had
your apartment?”
“Yea We were in the apart-
ment on the ground floor. We
got it dirt cheap in the depres-
sion because we used to collect
the rent for Mr. Deloney. He
kept the roof apartment for
himself.”
“And that’s where he shot
himself T”
"The gun shot him,” she cor-
rected me. “It was an accident,
no matter what Helen •mid ”
“Exactly what did Helen
say?”
"She said she knew It was
murder because she talked to a
witness. But she was talking
foolisnness. She wanted to get
tinder Hoffman’s skin. There
was always bad blood between
her and ner father, from the
time that Hoffman first raised
nts hand to her.”
"Did she name the witness?’’
“How could she? There was
no such person.’’
"Is It possible that Heler her-
self was the witness ? Deloney s
dead, remember. So Is she. It
tends to confirm the things she
told her friends before she died.”
She lapsed Into silence. We
reached the more densely popu-
lated part of the city, and I
slowed down. Mrs. Hoffman
kept looking back, as U she
could feel Bridgeton catching
up.
"1 hope Hoffman isn't drink-
ing,” she said after a while.
“Bert Haggerty Is with him. but
poor Bert could never handle
anyone, not even Helen. They
were divorced last spring In
Reno.”
Later, as 1 let her out in
front of her Hotel, she said,
“Why couldn't ‘Helen marry an
upstanding husband? It’s funny.
She bad brains and looks, but
she never could attract an up-
standing man.”
I could feel her eyes on my
profile, trying to chart the loot
continent ot Her daughters life.

corner just above the economic
equator that divided the mam
street into a prosperous section
and a not-so-prosperc ie one.
found a telephone booth behind
the main desk and called the
Bradshaw house.
Before the phone had rung
more than once, the old lady's
voice came quavering over the
line. “Roy? Is that you, Roy?”
“This Is Archer.”
"It should he Roy. He always
telephones by this time. Have
you seen the paper?”
“No."
“There’s an Item to the effect

the Reno conference with him.
was naughty of Roy not to
toil me that Do you suppose
he's interested in Laura?"
"I wouldn’t know."
"She’s a lovely young woman,
don’t you think?"
1 wondered if she'd had some
wine at dinner that made her
silly. '1 have no opinion on the
subject, Mrs. Bradshaw. I
called to see if you're willing to
follow through on our conver-
sation of this afternoon.”
“I’m afraid I couldn’t posslhly,
not without Roy's consent. I’m
going to ask you to cut this
short, Mr. Archer. I’m expect-
ing to near rrom Roy any mo-
ment*
this meant I needed help.
The switchboard girl said te
a gentler nice, “The last time
anybody called In, the doctor
said he’d meet him at the nurs-
ing home.”
When 1 got there, Alex's red
Porsche was standing at the
curb In front of the Mg stucco
building. I feR my heartbeat
pounding ua my ears. Some-
thing good could still happen.
A Spanish American nurse’s
aide unlocked the door. She
ushered me along a hallway,
through thickening hospital
odors, to a small cramped office
where Godwin was waiting.
"Is Alex with his wife?" 1
CHE hung up. 1 seemed lo be
losing my touch with uttie
old ladies. I went Into the din-
ing room tor dinner, noping that
Mrs. Hoffman might show up
there. She didn't appear, and the

lobby. The lead story featured
the hidden gun and tried and

1 went back to the telephone
booth and tried Dr. Godwin's
number. His answering service
wanted to know if It was an
emergency.
"Yes. It has to do with a pa-
tient of Dr. Godwin’s.”
“Are you the patient, sir?”
"Tea. He called me and
seemed very eager to see her,
though be hasn’t been around
all day. He also wanted to talk
to me."
“Did be say anything about
running out on her?"
"No."
"1 nope he’s changed his
mind." I told Godwin about my
meeting with Kincaid senior,
and Alex’s departure with his
father.
“You can’t entirely blame him
for falling by the wayside mo-
mentarily. He'e young, and un-
der great strain.” Godwin’s
changeable eyes lit up The im-
portant thing, tor him as well
as Doily, is that hs decided to

"Calmer, 1 think. She didn’t

mittee, stressed that "We an especially eager to learn the view
of Republicans who are active, men and women whose opinions
are likely to carry real weight to the party and in their com-

Wilson went on to expiate that: “We are writing them letters
