This Is Us- day and you still havo time up to six o'clock. —-O—O Don't let Inflation come to this ! country You can help prevent it i by not paying more than things, are worth, by investing in bonds and by saving your money until it will buy more. -0 Winter Is here or i»- ar and the cold winds whip around rather lively. Plug up the windows and get ready for severs! month of snowier and frost O—O— We hear much about stiik s and the slowing up of industry in the United States the«e days and per haps overlook the fact that the great majority of plants are going —o Food subsidies will end »''H Jun- and some food costs will rise. However the stabilization director. John (' Collett, says the ov rail cost of living should continue about as it is now for while some prices will go up. others are exp tted to drop enough to even it up. —o If you havn't voted on the proposed bond Issue, hurry over to the polls and <a»t a ballot. Every vote will count for it will help to tell the officials the feeling of those qualified to speak. Prime Minister Allee of England is her- to confer with President Truman on the atomic control and other matters of considerably Importance to both countries and to the world generally. -o Purdue will build a million dollar building to house two hundred married veterans and families. Many of the r turning veterans want to finish their education and will appreciate the opportunity to have their families near while attending college Whats the use to loan money io other countries unless wo can produce sufficient to supply them? After all America is by far the greaL st storehouse in the world r»d Its up to us io get our house in order and help the world. Its belter for ourselves. o—o forward rapidly with th- ir reconversion plans. The smaller factories are busy and many of them are turning out goods for the trade. W« will get over this snarl of labor management sotn- day to find the country sailing on its postwar program better than we thought O—o You can’t go wrong buying “E" bonds. They are safe, Bquid and the best savings in the world. Its money that draws interest and much better than cash because they can't be cashed except on your signature. They draw 2.9% interest if held until maturity but you can cash them wU«u aud if you aawd the aot«y-

UHonots still has 10,©Oo “little ted school houses" where odc teacher has charge of nil the grades. This year 1.500 of them ar. down because teachers ur<> not available Indiana has only 616 single room schools and these ann arly all operating. The consolidated s< hool system seems to provide better educational security than the old plan, hard as it is to give up th- idea of a littie school . 1 very couple of miles. -0 We ext.-nd a hearty welcome to I the boys who arc coining honi< : from the great-si of all wars j Many of you slip in without not Ice and w<- do not have 'he Infor niation to publish but we want you ' Ho know that w. an- glad you art ! here and that w< will ever b ; grateful to you for what you have I done to save America and the ’ World. -0 Tin- qualified voters of Adam- j county, many of them, ar going > to the poll* to,lav to vote upon the I promised bond Issue to cover costs ; of building a branch hospital in I lite south part of the county The . Issues have been fairly pres tiled. . | Thats the pro|ier way to decide things in a democracy If X" 11 ' haven't voted, b- -uie to do so ' i fore six this ■ veiling. —o — The lalioi nianageiiu-nt , on!'r f retire in Wa-hincton gives evi- i deme of heating tip as the days! go along. In a recent session Mr Murray and Mr. U-wis tangled in a word battle which wound up by la-wix saying “nuts’’ and Murray f replying "mi's to you". The pul* I lie doubts that any workable suits will come if the attitude of the members of the committee contin ties quarrelsome. Illustrating how American industry utilizes scientific I, search to develop great- r productivity and greater employment, is the fact that out of 62.000 employees of the diil'ont Co. today. 32 ar'-1 producing materials which did not exist as late as 192 S or were substantially new at that time. About j 15.o<iii of the company'll workers almost a quarter of the total ow< their jobs today to products entirely new since 1930, ■■ ■■■ Q--— ■ ——«" It uhonlf! remembered by those who are trying to work out a formula to increase wages and con sequently prices that when prices, reach a certain point many people i buy. Then the period when maniif ac tureis will have a surplus al-; most before th- y know it and a ( temporary let-down will follow until readjustments are made. We have lived through a half dozen depressions and we don't want another if th re is any way to avoid it ami good judgim-nt now would prevent it . Lets not have inflation for in the long run it doesn't pay. O—o • Bowles or Bust:Factory pay rolls tell 41 percent. Farm income dropped 66 percent I Farmers to th-- number of 453,000 lost their farms through foreclos- . tire. Corporation profits fell from a not of more than 16,000,000 after taxes to a net loss of 165,000,000. Inventory losses totaling |11,000,000,000 wiped out the business r- ■ serves that had been accumulated during liie war Millions of workers walked the street's looking for jobs. This Isn't a pretty plctur But , it's a true picture. It is what happened in the United Htates in the postwar period of World War I Chester Bowles. OPA Administrator, draws this picture to Justify the continuance- of price controls. We did not have price controls in the early twenties. A postwar fever of speculation seized the country. Wages w- re raised. Prices were raised. Prices always chase wages. Prices continued to rise until thconsumer rebelled Buyers’ strikes swept the country. Markets dried

SYNOPSIS Young Gail Benton is the only woman doctor in Beauchamp. That she was a good doctor, not a man on the Thayer Hospital staff could deny-although none gave her much cooperation. Dr. Cassius McCormick, austere chief of staff, was openly resentful when she challenged his diagnosis of an obscure clinic patient named Zayle. Gail went over his head in ordering an X-ray for Zayle, and now feared the appointment as Dr. McCormick’s assistant, for which she hoped, would go to Dr. Ralph Kramer. The latter has been showing more than a professional interest in Gail's wealthy young cousin, Lucienne Thayer, who was recently hospitalised for an appendectomy. Agnes and Howard Thayer, stepmother and father of Lucienne, were entertaining Howard's middle-aged elater, Reyna Thayer, recently returned to Beauchamp after thirty years’ residence abroad. Gail, who resents being a Thayer “poor relation,” is escorted to the reception by Burke Gentry, young lawyer, with whom she is in love. At the great Thayer house, Gail deserts ths party to visit Lucienne, who is still confined to her room.

CHAPTER EIGHT Gai! went through the upper hall whose walla were lined with Howard's collection of modern paintings, and tapped on Lucienne'a door. "Come on in," Lucienne exiled amiably. She was lying on the chaise, giving her nails a manicure. “Hello, Gail—is it deadly downstairs? Agnes' parties usually are." "I just got here a few minutes ago," Gail said, "and I wanted to see you, and meet your Aunt Reyna." “She’s the most wonderful woman, Gail—" Lucienne peered up through her tangled blonde hair like a young sheepdog. "She's been everywhere and seen everything. Sit down, darling." Gail surveyed the room with an appreciative eye. Lucienne had designed it herself, in a surprisingly sophisticated eolor scheme. The old sleigh bed was draped with a swag of yellow and gray taffeta. The dressing table had a Victorian mirror and a purple satin skirt Lucienne herself was wearing a pair of shantung pajamas, a cluster of daisies pinned in her hair. Watching her. Gail thought, those practical hands don’t go with the absurd hairdo; those are the hands of a worker, of a craftsman. "Look, Gail,” Lucienne said abruptly, “I want to ask you—a nurse's aide at the hospital, what does she do?" "Weil," Gafl said, "she takas TPRs—that moans temperature, pulse, respiration. She deans the bed units, serves breakfast and lunch trays. Oh, there are dozen's of things she does, the easier duties of the professional nurses. She takes orders, she carries bedpane—"

"Gail, I want to be a nurse’s aide!" "Patriotism, Lucienne?" "No," Lucienne answered candidly. "This is a strictly personal matter. You see—" Her explanation was silenced by a brusque knock on the door. “That sounds like Aunt Reyna’s signal. Como in, darling." Reyna eame in, grumbling to herself. "Is there an aspirin in your medicine ehest, Lucienne?” she asked. "I have a beastly headache and Agnes’ guesta certainly won’t improve itl” Her heavy face was touched with sharp, malicious humor. "Who is your friend?" "This is Cousin Gail. Doctor Gail Benton.” "So you’re Cousin Honore's daughter!” Reyna cried. She pulled up the strap of her tiered blue chiffon evening frock. "I should havs guessed it, though you’re not as beautiful as your mother was. So you’re a doetor. You don't look like one." Gail smiled ruefully. "I tkowgfct I looked too dressed up tonight A man can wear a dinner jacket and still look like a respected doctor. But a sleeveless frock end high heels certainly detract from a woman doetor’s dignity.” The older woman’s cynical face softened. "Don’t mind me, my dear. It’s a ease of sour grapes.” Her plump, ringlets fingers smoothed down her full skirt. “Let me get my aspirin, and then 1 want to hear about you-—” Returning from the bathroom, she plopped down on the bed and lit a cigarette. "Now, tell me about your wort” “Well—” Gall's Hue eyes were suddenly alive, her voice rich with feeling. "I think it’s the most exacting but the moat rewarding job in the world. At least, it is to me because I believe a doctor ean’t cure a patient’s body or even his mind, without looking into his background and taking into consideration his job, his family, his children—just about everything that makes up a human being!” "That's well and good. But what about your private life?” Reyna demanded. "What about marriage? Surely you aren’t going to give your life to medicine?”

”/’m convinced I ean combine marriage and my work,” Gail said lightly. "All I need now is to convince a man of it.” Reyna’s eyes sparkled. "Gail, I want you to meet a young man who’s going to be here tonight. His name is Stophen McCormick.” "Oh, Doctor McCormick's sonl” Lucienne eried. "Do you know him?” "Yes, I met him and his mother in Paris five or six years ago. His mother was a charming woman.” "1 ean’t imagine Doctor McCormick’s wife being a eharming woman,” Lucienne said. "He’s such an ogre, how could any nice woman love him?” Reyna regarded her sadly- / Mted Mm «««.
