I Almost one hundred years ago, in 1850, Decatur had a population Os 231 persons. For eleven months last year, there were 541 births at the hospital and in the city. Most of our troubles are little ones. o —o Patrons of the local telephone company, which includes the exchanges at Berne. Monroe and Bryant, start the New Year with newly printed directories. The 4500 listings are indicative of the growth of this utility and the service which it renders. Among the names, those of Habegger and Sprunger lead all others. There are 50 of the former and 73 Os the latter in the directory, the majority of whom reside in Berne. o 0 — Will there be two 10-club major baseball leagues? The cry of California’s two big cities for major league recognition has produc ed this suggestion. The idea is that the American League would take in Los Angeles and Oakland, and the National would have San Francisco and Hollywood. The major leagues have not always been eight-club affairs. The National League had 12 teams until 1900,

Treating Painful Shingles

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.i HERPES zoster. commonly known as shingles, has been recognized since ancient times, but it was not until the 18th century that medical men discovered that it was in seme way linked with the nervous system. This is not strange since the chief and most characteristic symptom of shingles is a painful skin rash. We know today, however, that the disease first affects the nerves. As they become irritated, the skin rash results and its pectb liar patterns follow the course of

the affected nerves. Shingles comes on suddenly, usually With mild fever, a general feeling of sickness, and. possibly, headache. Symptoms affecting the skin may come on at the same time j or may be delayed for a day or two. ( These symptoms may consist of a burning or tingling in the skin. Often there is pain, which may be deep and boring. The skin becomes i red and tender in the affected area ’ and soon afterwards small blisters develop at the site of the redness and tenderness. As the skits rash develops the pain and tingling are often lessened. The rash, in most cases, develops on one side of the body It may SCeur ever the nose, the eye. forehead, and scalp, or over the chest, abdomen or along one arm or leg. The blisters contain clear fluid.' L Some of them at- run together to’ B farm larger Blisters. If they ere tot | ■kopeued they u,.-i*lly disappear and I

wheti it dropped to eight and thereby gave the new American League a chance to take over the four dis carded cities. The hitch is how to prevail upon the Pacific Coast League to give up its largest cities. That would take a lot of money. City Commission: The last Official act of Mayor Stults and the retiring city council was to recommend the appointment of members to a City Plan Commission, for which councilmanic legislation, as provided by law was previously adopted. j in addition to the officials specified in the 1947 Acts of the General Assembly, to be ex-officio members of the Commission, the council elected one of its number, Alfred K. Beavers. Mayor John Doan and City Engineer Ralph Roop, are members by virtue of office. Mayor Stults named, C. W. Kent, real estate dealer: K. E. Hirschy, employe of the Central Soya Company; Dick Heller, newspaper man and Harold Mumma, lumber dealer, as citizen members, and their appointments are expected to be approved by the new council next Tuesday. The Planning Commission will act as an advisory civic body .its findings and recommendations being submitted to Hie council for approval, rejection or modification. The members serve without p.K. As stated in the law. a Plafi Uon> mission may be created, “in order to promote the orderly development of its governmental units and its environs.” . Zoning and comprehensive surveys pertaining to building within the city, the designating of certain areas within the Corporate limits as “business” and “residential,” and recommendations for carrying out a master plan of general utility and benefit, are among the functions of the Commission. The Act, covering 30 pages, in synopsis, states, "It is the object of this legislation to encourage local units of government to improve the present health, safety, convenience, and welfare of their citizens and to plan for the future development of their communities to the end that highway systems be carefully planned, that new community centers grow only with adequate highway, utility, health, educational, and recreational facilities; that the needs of agriculture, industry and business be recognized in future growth; that resident- , ial areas provide healthy surroundings for family life.” Our growing and zestful city needs such an adjunct to city government, Mayor Stults is to be congratulated for furthering the legislation and Mayor Doan commended for his cooperation tn support of the City Plan Commission.

iform a dry crtist. After a week or ten days, the crust falls off, leaving a shallow scar. Ofteh. because of rubbing of the clothing or scratching, the blisters break open and infection occurs. If this happens, a severe inflammation of the skin may develop. Herpes zoster occurs most often in middle-aged and elderly persons. It fs thought that the condition is caused by a virus and there seems to be some relationship between the virus producing herpes zoster and that producing chicken-pox. ■ Ohe attack of shingles usually

SYNOPSIS Cathy Layne, Army nurse, was disappointed when Bill Kcndali, with whom she had been in love since childhood, tailed to meet her when she arrived home on leave after long service in the Pacific. Annt Maggie, with whom Cathy lived, disclosed that Edith Kendall, Bill’s wealthy, arrogant aunt, had sent him on a short business trip, and had undoubtedly failed to give him the telegram Cathy had sent announcing the time of her arrival. Bill's mother had been disinherited when she married against her father’s wishes and, following her death, Edith, who had inherited the entire Kendall fortune, had adopted Bill. Jealous and possessive, she resented anyone who might take him from her. Maggie’s deductions were correct, for when Bill arrived later that evening, Cathy learns he did not get her wire. Underneitii the happiness of their reunion, Cathy sensed Bill’s hesitancy over making any immediate plans for their future which might incur the displeasure of his aunt. The following day Mrs. Kendall telephoned to ask Cathy to tea. Suspecting the reason for the invitation, Cathy was not too surprised when Mrs. Kendall coldly announced she considered her most unsuitable for Bill and would immediately disinherit him if they married. CHAPTER SIX CATHY breathed hard, and counted under her breath. If she flew out at this —this obscene old woman, if she emptied the pockets of her mind of the stored dislike of years, it would only make things harder for Bill. There was no that she and Mrs. Kendall could ever be anything but sworn enemies; but at least, Cathy told herself rather wildly, there was no

use furnishing the woman with more ammunition to use against Bill. When she was quite Sure that her knees would support her, Cathy rose to her feet and stood looking down at the malice-twisted face of the older woman. The small, cold blue eyes; the thinlipped mouth that was twisted now in a sneer. “There’s really no point in my sitting here and allowing you to insult me, Mrs. Kendall,” said Cathy when she could trust her voice. “We a-e the two women who mean most to Bill. He is genuinely fond of you and deeply grateful to you; for that reason, 1 would honestly like to be fond of you too. But that's something you don’t want.” “Why should I want your liking? You are less than nothing to me.” flashed Mrs Kendall Spitefully. “And you are the same to me—save that I love Bill and I know I it would please him if we could be i friends. And I’d do anything I i could to please Dill,” said Cathy ' evenly. “Cut since that's impossible, in this instance, I see no * —- —— • - —

j ed or raw. A baked apple or apple sauce with cream makes a wonderful treat for breakfast — or for any meal. Waldorf salad is always • favorite — made with chopped apples and celery and maybe a few chopped nuts — no trouble convincing children that they should eat a salad such as this. A salad combination of chopped cabbage, apples, shredded carrots, and raisins is certain to prove popular, too. And here’s a tip — don’t peal those apples when you use them in a sal- ( ad. The bright red skins are a colorful addition to the salad — and they add to the nutritive value as well. Fried apple rings are delicious —, especially when served with pork ■ dishes. Apples should be sliced about a quarter of an inch thick. Fry them quickly in the hot fat that has been drained from the pork. For desserts, there’s the all-time favorite — APPLE PIE — rich in spices, and served with cheese. Dutch apple pie is a well known variation — but have you heard of DUTCH APPLE CAKE? It’s delicious! Dutch Apple Cake % cup shortening % cup sugar 2 eggs, well beaten 2’4 cups sifted cake flour 3 tsp. baking powder % tsp. Vanilla % tsp. salt , Cream shortening and sugar together. Add the beaten eggs and mix well. Sift flour and measure. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together three times. Add alternately with milk. Add vanilla and beat thoroughly. Pour batter into a greased pan. Arrange thinly sliced apples in rows on top of the batter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 to 50 minutes. Serve with whipping cream. Another good apjMe dessert is APPLE BETTY. Incidently, if you have cake that has dried out or a few left-over biscuits or muffins — these can be substituted for the bread crumbs in the following recipe. Apple Betty 3 cups dried bread crumbs 3 cups tart, diced applet 1/3 cup brown sugar ( h cup white sugar 14 tsp. nutmeg tsp. cinnamon 14 tsp. salt 3 tbs. butter or margarine 14 cup water

reason why this unpleasant scene should be prolonged.” She walked toward the door, and Mrs. Kendall did not speak. Cathy opened the door and let herself out. For a moment she Stood on the steps, her shoulders back, breathing deep gulps of the scented spring air. She felt as though she had come out of some noisome jungle; the big, handsome, chill drawing room had been so impregnated with Mrs. Kendall’s hostility that Cathy felt as though she had ( been defiled by it. She went down the walk, her heart heavy with the thought that Bill must decide betweri the two women who meant most to him. He couldn’t have both, and knowing his love for her, Cathy had no doubt of his decision. He would choose her, and his aunt and her precious money could do whatever they liked. But the decision would be painful for him, and she was bitterly sorry that it had to be made. As she came down the drive to the road, she saw Maggie waiting for her. Maggie gave her a keen look, and her grim mouth thinned a little. “Get in,” she said brusquely. “I wonder what happened to all the hand grenades the boys didn't get a chance to use in the Pacific. I know a swell spot where one could do a lot of good.” Cathy laughed shakily. “Oh. it wasn’t so bad,” she said ■ huskily. “Only—well. Bill’s going ’ to get hurt.” “I suppose so—though I can’t ' lose much sleep over Bill,” said 1 Maggie grimly. “What worries me 1 is you.”

Cathy touched her arm with a caressing hand. "Don’t you worry about me, darling—l’m tough,” she said with determined lightness. “Oh, sure—just about as tough as a day-old kitten,” snorted Maggie, and sent the Betsy-Bug along at a rate that that astonished car had not achieved since the longago days of its youth. • • • Cathy was in the porch swing when Bill’s convertible stopped at the curb and he came up the walk. She and Maggie had had supper and Maggie had gone next door to take half a freshly baked apple pie to a neighbor who was convalescing from the birth of a fifth child. Cathy braced herself a little as Bill came up the steps and bent to scoop her into his arms and hold her close. "Lord, if you knew what it meant to me to have you in my arms like this ” he said huskily, his cheek hard against her own. “Just to know when I leave the office that you’re within reach, and not three thousand nines away.” There was a sort of suppressed excitement in his voice, and Cathy

waited tensely. “It’s a grand night,” said Bill. “Let's go for a ride. I fam would have words with thee, beloved — many words, some of them serious.” Cathy said wryly, half under her breath, “I was afraid of that!” Bill, drawing her down the steps with him, holding her hand, grinned at her warmly. “Oh. you’ve nothing to be afraid of—l hope!” he assured her, and laughed. Cathy’s heart sang. Then he wasn’t upset. He wasn’t angry. She scolded herself sternly that she should have for a moment believed that he could be angry with her! Mrs. Kendall had brought about the unpleasant scene this afternoon, and of course Bill would realize that. He tucked her into the car and slid beneath the wheel. He looked down at her as the car began to move, and said lightly, “Os course you haven’t the faintest idea where I'm taking you?” “Sand Bar Ferry Road?” she guessed, and her heart leaped a little. “Where else but? Being the town’s favorite Lovers' Lane—and me being very much in love with you and having great news to divulge—where else?” he argued reasonably, and in the soft moonlight She saw that his face Was happy and eager. Once upon a time, when Cypressville had been a small, struggling part of an English colony, the great green meadow had been a favorite dueling ground. Beneath giant live oaks, seconds had prepared the young men whose honor was about to be avenged; here, Cathy had often thought, if only the trees could speak, w’hat stories they might tell! In recent years a wide, yellow sand road had been laid to a bridge that had replaced the old ferry. And here beneath the great oaks, lovers came to park their cars and to watch the silver moonlight turn the muddy yellow river to gold. Bill turned the convertible away from the road to park beneath one of the big trees. There were several other parked cars but the ' the meadow was a big one, and i the curve of its bank above the ! river offered privacy. Bill turned to Cathy and sale eagerly, “Now that I have you i alone, my proud beauty—”" Cathy laid a swift hand cn hi. I arm. “I’m—sorry, Bill, truly I am. i ! tried, but she—she just wasn't tav i ing any.” : Bill was puzzled. > “What the heck are you ta.king I about?” ! “You mean Mrs. Kendall didn't tell you about inviting me to tc.1 this afternoon?” ’ (To Be Continued)
