GO TO YOUR PHYSICIAN By Dr. Victor G. Heiser A good slogan to adopt for the duration of the war is “Go to Your Physician,” instead of “Call a Doctor’—and don’t go unless you really need his service. Most ot us are aware why we should follow this advice, except, of course, in emergencies. There are already over 40,000 Physicians serving in the U. S. Army and U. S. Navy. Thousands of others are in full-time service in hospitals, with departments of health, in the U. S. Public Health Service, engaged in fulltime and essential research, in teaching medical students, and in war industries looking after the health and emergencies, medical and surgical needs of industrial workers.

FATHER OF LOCAL MAN DIES IN CELESTINE SAT.

FURTHER RISE EXPECTED IN INDIANA FARM PRICES

REV. BARTHOL ROGERS RETURNED TO DALE CHURCH

John S. Hasenour, 69, died at 10 o’clock Saturday morning at his home two miles west of Celestine.

Indiana farm prices have increased rapidly since the beginning of the war and economic factors indicate a further rise in the price of farm products state Purdue University agricultural extension economists. However, price control programs instituted by the government have been partially effective in holding prices down.

Rev. Barthol Rogers was returned to the Dale Methodist Church at the reading of the pastoral assignments at the closing session of the annual Indiana conference at Greensburg, Ind., last Sunday afternoon. Rev. August D. Stork, who has been serving the Newtonville Parish the past three years, was transferred to the Hatfield-Rich-land charge. Rev. Ezra L. Hutchens was reappointed as superintendent of the Evansville district.

Surviving are his wife, Barbara; three daughters, Miss Veronica Hasenour, at home; Mrs. Norbert Troesch, St. Meinrad, and Sister M. Rosa Linda, OSB, Ferdinand convent; five sons, Hilbert, at home; Martin, Celestine; John, Dale; Pvt. Hubert, Shreveport, La., and Sergt. Egid M., Langley Field, Va., and eight grandchildren. Funeral services were held at 8 o’clock Tuesday morning at the Celestine Catholic Church. Burial was in the church cemetery.

Increases this year in the prices of agricultural commodities, similar to those of last year, are probable. Farm earnings are expected to compare favorable with those of a year earlier, providing the same volume of production can be maintained. In view of present price prospects, economists advise that Indiana farmers:

Severe Shortage Now word comes that at least 11,000 additional physicians must be recruited before the end of this year to meet the needs of our armed forces. This means that in many areas of the country there will be, if there already does not exist, a severe shortage of physicians to meet normal demands of the civilian population.

GEORGE W. COOPER DIES AT HOME OF SON TUESDAY

1. Have as large a volume of business as practical. During periods of rising prices farmers with a large volume of business make the highest labor incomes. 2. Pay special attention to good management. Present prices are such that extra dividends will be the reward for good management, which will result also in increased food for the ration. 3. Realize that the nation is now in a period of inflation. The index of farm prices has more than doubled since 1939. The smart manager will recognize the importance of price changes and adjust accordingly, though others may assume that they have suddenly found some secret way to financial success and proceed blindly to financial ruin.

George W. Cooper, 74, died at 9 o’clock Tuesday morning at the home of his son, Richard, about two miles northwest of Dale, after a long illness. Surviving are three sons, C. J. Cooper, Dunkirk; Delbert Cooper, Bulfaloville; and Richard Cooper, Dale; a brother, J. W. Cooper, Dale; 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

Still we shall be much better off than people in European countries, for we have long had a higher ratio of physicians to our population than there was in other countries at war. So, we may have little cause to grumble; in areas where there are actually no physicians or an acute shortage of these faithful servants of humanity, some plans will be developed to meet the growing needs.

Funeral services were held at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon at the home of the son. Burial was in the Buffaloville cemetery.

What Can We Do?

Besides living up to the slogan “Go to Your Physicain,” instead of having him come to us, there are ways and means of conserving the time of available medical and hospital personnel. The first, and most important step we can take, is to look after our own health and that of members of our families. “And how,” you ask, can we do that?” The answer is simple—by following simple rules of living. Be careful and selective in the foods you eat, in the liquids you drink; get adequate sleep, and rest; take exercise suitable to your age and general physical condition; get out into the fresh air and sunlight as much as possible; learn the simple rules and procedures of first aid; be careful to avoid accidents in the home, on the street or highway, in the place of

rules will help to keep you in reasonably good health; will help you to avoid preventable illness; will help you to do your share in conserving the very essential manpower of medical and hospital personnel. Go to your physician for a periodic check-up, or for follow-up treatment when he advises it. Make his labors less exacting so that he will be free ot look after you and your neighbors should a real emergency arise.
