It will show the Interest being taken in farming by the young people and the progress they are making. It will be a great festival with many entertainments. The week will be devoted to the Youth Movement and should prove helpful in many ways, much better generally than the carnival shows and fairs that so often go with public entertainment. Plan to attend and to take part. For the past several years, cash receipts of Indiana farmers have hit all-time highs and Purdue University provides figures to show that 184.000 of them in Indiana had a cg-h income of (474,391,W0 in 1945. Last year’s income included 322,488,000 in government payments under the Democratic! administration's farm program Livestock was the source of most of the fanner*' money, accounting for 3490.036.000 of the reclpts. while only |195,459,000 was mark ed up from the sale of crops. The animal classification included poultry products, milk and wool. We have a lengthy letter from Lase Grim, a world war II veteran, objecting to editorials which appeared recently in this patter telling of action taken on bonus proposals In Illinois and Michigan. These statements were meant to be informative rather than opinions. For Mr. Grim's benefit and all other veterans we wish to statu we are for them and we sincerely hope they get a bonus, jobs, now homes for those who need and desire them and any thing else reasonable and (Missible that will recompense them for their gallant work In the service of their country. These men can never be repaid fully. o o

Appendicitis Requires P rompt Action

By Herman N. Bit,desen, M. 0. IN ONE recent year. 13,MH) people in the United Staten di«-d of appendicitis. far too high a flguru in view of the fact that many of these lives could and should havu bwti saved! Dr. Karl H Par* of North Cane Una. iistlinates that early diagnosis and prompt operation would have prevented pi leas' half of these death*. Os course, early di. agnosia presume* that the doctor ia called at once. Similar Symptoms Even then, it may not lie easy to tell appendicitis from several other conditions which have simi Jar symptoms, inflammation of the pancreas. ruptured ulcer of the Stomach, kidney stope, gallbladder diseaiM* and inflammation of the fallopian tubes In women. How •ver. according to Dr. Pace, in three out of four cases in which an operation is necessary for curing an abdominal condition, appendicitis Is resposaible. The symptoms of appendicitis consist of pain, wfileh usually •tarts In the middle of the abdo men and then finally locates in the right lower part; some spasm of the muscles. tenderness in this area; occasionally, some fever; inmwjs in the number of white cells i p blood; sickness to the stnm •<h and vomiting.

They think If you have money In the bank you ure rich, if /on have stock* and hond* in the safe deposit box you can have anything you want. They even think If you get a higher wage this month than last, you can buy more with it. no matter what happen* to price* or production. But you aren't and you can't. It all depend* on whether people work hard enough to make thing* enough to go around. Albion Hoss, in Europe for the New York Time*, *ay* money ha* lost It* popularity around Austria and Hungry. Austrian currency Is . stronger, of late. In dollar and pound value, than for some time. But Austrian peasant* won't take it for their farm product*. They want thing* they can use. Instead They want shirt*. and socks and hall* for their egg* and chickens and vegetable*. Occasionally a city man can take a painting into the t country and have some luck swapping it for food. The peasant regards this a* Investment the time i may come when someone will pay for it in things be can use. Hut money? Just paper, lie can't wear it or use It to mend the chimney. Money is all right in its way. Il * a handy tool to |«as« things around with. Hut viewed by itself It's nothing. You cannot eat it or keep warm with it. It’* the making of useful things which really matter* the growing of food io keep people well ami strong. Money at best is but a symbol of labor performed. Money without production 1* sounding brass and rustle of paper—go more. o o

It is unwise in cases of abdominal pain to give a strong painrelieving drug since this will hide the symptoms and may keep operation from being performed when It Is necessary. Once the diagnosis of acute inflammation of the appendix has Iteen made, operation as a rule should be carried out at once. Better to Operate It would seem better Io operate In a few cases when appendicitis U suspected and is not present than to let any patient succumb to this illness, because the operation is done too late. Os course, If the operation is not dono the appendix frequently breaks open, spilling Its contents Into the ah doming! cavity and leading to infection known as peritonitis or inflammation of the lining membrane of the abdomen. Attempts should not be made to ward off the appendicitis with such drugs as penicillin or the sulfonamide preparations since this a rule will not avail and may allow the appendix to rupture before operation is performed Patients and their families should remember that "wait and aee” Is a very bad and dangerous policy where appendicitis is <ourunted. Once this disease Us been diagnosed, the sooner operation Is perfe’med. the better. Carried out at on e. it is very simple and recovery is rapid, whereas- dels? may result la fatal complications.

I. bill of right*. This program provide* that a veteran may apply hi* educational right* toward instruction in flying. A great many like myself have not been abl« to take advantage of these right* before for various reasons. For instance, the amount of subsistence allowed Is •cart ely adequate for a decent living away from home and support for a family at home. Our airport here at Decatur may need some change* for u* to have this program extended to us. Most cities our size and many smaller have municipal airport* and are doing a larger volume of business for having them. The question now come* up, will our municipal government give us any help to bring this G. I. training to the veteran* who would very much like to have this advantage? I would like to have some sort of reaction from veteran* and non-veteran* alike on thl* question. Why not make yourself heard through the medium of this column. G. R. Becaur. g
