The Department better keep at the job, if that is the case, for everybody should pay their full share. The Chiefs of Staff of the military units owe to the country to get together and iron out their troubles and get down to sensible business. It is a known fact that the army, navy and air corps fight 1 between themselves, much to the 1 determent of the country. They : should work together under the •

plan designed by congress and get their house in shape, in the event of war. o o The Chamber of Commerce will develop a program during the coming months that will contribute to the building of a community. President Lane has named committees and chairmen to assist in local surveys, along sponsorship of needed improvements and city beautification. The Chamber calls it a NINE POINT program and many of the objectives are needed. A better community is built if every individual contributes time, effort and a little “shoulder work” to civic projects. Open forums or town hail meet-

ings on city planning will be held here during the coming months. This is a step in the right direction. With more individual effort devoted to city problems, easier will be the solving of those matters which affect the citizenry. The town meetings will also serve in providing information which the public sbould have regarding zoning. building regulations and other facts set out in the state's planning commission. The meetings should stimulate interest and participation by all Decaturites.

When Sitting Becomes Painful

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. j SITTING, a preferred position; • tor most of us, is so painful as to | be almost tabbo for people suffer-: ; ing from coccygodynia. , This disorder gets its name from the word “coccyx," which is the ( medical term for the lower end of ■ the spinal column. Thus, in plain , English, coccygodynia simply means pain in the area of the ■ coccyx. ( To the patient it means a good deal more. It sometimes means a choice between standing up and ly- , ing down; it often means sitting—if at all—on rubber cushions or pillows. Practically all patients with coccyodynia also have some pain in the rectum or lower part of the bowel. This pain is usually made worse by a bowel movement, sometimes passing downward into the thills or upwards into the back.

This condition may arise from many different sources. Inflammation of the areas within the lower part of the abdomen may bring about spasm of certain muscles ■ and thus produce the pain. Dis-, eases of the rectum also will cause muscular spasm, with the result-i ing symptoms of coccygodynia. In-1 juries may be responsible, bnt J even in patients who have saffer-j ed injuries it is unusual to find; anything abnormal in the position! of the coccyx itself. It would sftem then that Bposm of one or more of the mustelee ■ mllrt up th* I***? th* girdle area, is chiefly respcm»-« v

Secretary Marshall is an able statesman, and while admitting that world affairs are “very, very . serious,” he cautions against the . hysteria and rable thinking The i people have confidence in Marshall and without doubt he is America’s best posted man on the international situation. Frenzied thinking, sometimes brings on a war all too soon and it’s certain that humanity does not want another global conflict, unless it is absolutely necessary as the last step to save civilization. o o Governor Gates gives impetus to the Walter Helmke boom for governor, by endorsing the Allen county political leader for the GOP nomination. Helmke threw his hat into the ring a few days ago and has the support of Former Mayor Baals and others in Fort Wayne, along with the following in the district. The political game seems to be to beat Senator Jenner, who is not content to serve in the senate and to stall off the campaign of Hobart Creighton, who also is in the race. Line up, boys. o o While the Communists claim that Jan Masaryk, the great liberal leader in Czechoslovakia commit- ’ ted suicide, many people in the ( United States believe that he was ] murdered. If Masaryk took his • own life, he probably was given the choice of a bullet or falling from a third story window. The ’ Russians are ruthless in their con- t quest of the little European coun- t tries and before the coup is com-

pleted over there, tragedy of some sort will probably befall President Benes. No wonder freedom loving people are clamoring for the opportunity to stop the Kremlin leaders in their wild drive for power in countries, unable to combat the hordes from the east. Lack of Customers: Every now and then someone comes out with the idea that the

United States can accomplish more by making its ’own financial position sound than by helping the tottering nations abroad. If that argument were advanced by a rich man as his reason for not giving to charity, everybody would know just where to place him. Is ! a nation’s case really different? If the matter is put in business terms If may become clearer. Shall we let our good customers die and encourage their survivors to hate us? Or shall we help them get to the buying point again? Ancient Rome thought she had : to destroy her ancient enemy, Carthage, across the sea in North Africa. When Carthage was gone. Rome began to realize that she had destroyed her best customer. Rome never fully recovered economically I from that tragic mistake.

ible for the pain of coccygodynia. i These muscles can be felt through ' s the rectum and will feel swollen I and hard. Pressure on the mus- 1 cles makes the pain worse. As a rule, the condition can be overcome without an operation. The most important part of the treatment is massage, through the rectum, of the affected muscles. Too active massage, however, will cause an increase in muscle tenderness; therefore, it should be done gently and only about three times a week. If the coccyx actually becomes ] dislocated, it should be put back in proper position. t The patient should be taught to i sit erectly since this is the most 1 Comfortable sitting position. Daily hot baths will also give relief ia i some cases. If the patient is suf- i I sering from constipation, the use of i

mineral oil is suggested. Automo- j bile rides are to be avoided because 1 the sitting position, in combination with jolting, however slight, re- s I suits in great discomfort. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ' A Reader: My tongue is coated I , with white spots in the morning. . What would you advise? Answer: In some instances, the i tongue becomes coated as a result of constipation, while in many i cases no cause for it can be disicovered. If one is in good physical condiI and feels perfectly *>■«!! no should b* n’t’d th*' i fact that the tongue is coated.

Bind over the leak and it will prove satisfactory until the plumber arrives.

20 YEARS AGO TODAY -

March 12 — Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is reported to be worth a million dollars, earned since his memorable flight to Paris last year. Josiah Chronister, 70, of Bobo, dies suddenly. Four new cases of scarlet fever reported in Decatur. James Foreman of Blue Creek township is a candidate for county commissioner in the Democratic primary. Fred Connel falls in a hallway at Notre Dame and receives a double fracture of his left arm. Fort Wayne Central defeats Kirkland Kangaroos at the regional, 32-24. The Kangaroos led at the half, 14 to 12.

I Modern Etiquette i By ROBERTA LEE 0 0 Q. Is it necessary for a woman to say “please" and “thank yon” to her servants? A. While not exactly necessary, still this is never out of place. A gracious "please" and a sincere “thank you” go far towards promoting efficiency among one’s employees and associates. Q. Je it all right for a woman to introduce her husband as “Mr. Smith”? A. It is preferable for the wife to say "my husband," or merely “Jim." Q Should one reply to x a letter that announces an engagement? A. Yes. and with sincere expressions of interest and best wishes. 0 » « The People’s Voice This column for the use of our readers who wish to make sugI gestinns for the general good or discuss questions of Inter- | est.

Maybe basketball is emphasized quite a bit but it has some advantages. There are boys and girls that' stay in school because of it, and if the right thing is done their grades and deportment are supposed to be a certain average before they can play on the team. Some times it helps them physically, especially the timid ones. When the boys are in training they have to stay home some nights and get their rest instead of out running around and getting into trouble. Now for my gripe: Why should we as taxpayers and parents have to put up with some of the referees that we see. Some of it is very inefficient and some of it looks as if it were done deliberately In optßiefe fwsh*tb»H » just I a sport.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

How can we expect our boys and girls to grow up to play and like a good clean sport when we have referee’s that will deliberately throw a game. It looked like that HartfordPortland game played at Huntington was deliberately thrown to Portland. After all one team is as good as another in spirit. And I say to let the better team win fair. if we can’t have good, clean, fair and square referees let’s not have any games at all. After all every boy is entitled to a square deal in life and in school is a good place to start. Don’t forget the taxpayer is the one who pays for this sport in the long run. How about your gripe. Maybe we, as citizens will accomplish something. I have seen some very good refereeing this year so know that it can be done. Mrs. Lawrence Noll.

URGES U. S. TO (Continued from Page 1) be shown. Warfare continued in the Palestine countryside, with two hagansh members reported killed and one seriously injured in a clash . with Arabs in the Sodom desert. Reports from Tel Aviv said leaders of haganah and the Irgun Zvai Leumi signed an agreement last night welding the two forces into a single fighting unit under the command of haganah. The Jewish agency executive signed for haganah. Copies of the agreement weere cabled to the United States for the signatures of several other members' of the agency. The agreement took effect last midnight. Menahem Beigin. former commander of the Irgun, was retained as commanding officer of the Irgun unit within the Jewish army in Palestine. o FARMERS HOLD (Continued from Pnere 1> Cut Purchases Chicago, March 12 — (UP) — The big meat packers reduced their livestock purchases today in anticipation of a threatened strike by CIO packinghouse workers. Meanwhile, last-ditch efforts were made to avert the nationwide walkout, scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. The strike would involve about 100,000 workers and would disrupt operations at about 100 plants. Spokesmen for the packing industry said it would cut off about 30 percest of the nation’s meat supply. In attempts to head off the strike, federal conciliators met again today with representatives of the CIO United Packinghouse workers and the big packing companies. Mayor Martin H. Kennelly met with union leaders yesterday and agreed to meet with the packers. No meeting had yet been arranged, howerer. At Chicago's sprawling Union stockyards today, the big packers ■ bought only limited numbers of ■ cows. Most of the slaughter Steers and heifers were bought by eastern interests and by smaller packers whose employes belong to the non-striking AFL amalgamated meat cutters and butcher workI men’s union. o Amateur Photography Class Meets Monday .All persons interested in the amateujg, photography class being organized here, are asked to meet !
