Native of this county. Mr McMillen lived in the Pleasant Mills vicinity all his life, ■where he engaged in farming and reared his family. He had a host of friends, all of whom were grieved to learn of his death. It s natural for children to he curious ami learn what is on the other side of the feme, but like thecat, < urosity. sometimes brings| tragedy. Down in Amarillo. Texas the lives of five little children were snuffed out when they hid in a show case. The door of the meat I case was blown shut and all suf located. o o — The publication in hook form of the Goebbels diaries renews the wonder that any civilized country ever let men like Goebbels.

In this lies peril for the Soviet system.

A Rare Type of Pregnancy

•y Herman N Bunde.en. M. 0. A STRANGE and fortunately rare state of affairs is signified by the words “Ectopic Pregnancy ” In the usual circumstances, the baby grows in his mother's uterus or woinb. a structure ideally suited to shelter and nourish the developing child But. sometimes, for reasons still unknown, the new being begins his growth in the fallopian tube, where he has neither space nor the blood supply needed for full development This is the cob--411 lon known as eutopic pregnan v. Aa a rule, the patient will have missed one or more of the regular and will believe that she is pregnant. However, she does not feel well and will hare colicky pains in the lower part of the abdomen from time to time. She also may feel faint on occasions. This condition is difficult to diagnose. In some cases, there is aerere internal bleeding because the tube ruptures However, while the symptoms will indicate that there Is some condition of the abdomen that requires emergent» treatment, its egact nature may I not be suspected. In these in- 1 stames immediate operation is advisable. for in thia way the coudl- I tins is discovered and the woman s ' Ute M saved On the other hand, when the t

To create more interest in these party elections. would be extending the right l of franchise to youths IS years ami older, or the nomination of ! gubernatorial candidates and those for other state offices bring out the voters. Both of these hypothetical questions, depend of course, on new legislation. The I federal constitution would have to oe amended to change the voting age ami the state assembly would l»e required to pas a state primary law. Anyway, about as many ballots were left unused as those voted in the county., o o — Thomas Edison's own remarks on how his deafness contributed to his scientific work are includied in a rec ent book. Edison rei f> rred to the deafness as an "insulation" from “the general up- , roar." Some of the experimenting with sound reproduction and transI mission was a result of desire to make his own ears more useful. But his poor hearing also drove Edison from casual social inter- . course to the companionship of books and laboratory equipment | He could shut himself away from , meaningless sound, and concentrate his attention on that which interested him. A physical defect may be for one person a deadly I handicap, for another a key which iopens doots which are closed to the physically whole. Persons in the latter group turn affliction Into achievement. o o Who has not sometime wished that his body might be insensible .to pain? The experience of deop |or prolonges! pain often brings the thought: How wonderful the world would be if there were no imin! Doctors at Akron. O„ discovered that a girl born there a year ago will live In a world with out pain, for a defect in her nervous system has blocked out her lability to sense jt. As a result she must be kept under constant Watch, until she learns to maintain the vigil herself, lest her body be damaged without her knowledge Pain, whether of the body or the mind, has its useful place. ——o o Vote $500,000 Bond Issue For Hospital Greenfield.

symptoms are not so se e.c, there Is often a tendency to wait to sec what develops rather thm to carry out an Immediate operation. In such instances, there is always danger that sudden and severe bleeding may take place, and under su<h conditions operation becomes more hazardous. It would seem that the safest course to ipursue is to have an operation done whenever it is Itelieved ths* an ectopic pregnancy has occurred. During the operation, the affected tube, as a Hile. Is removed, since, if it was responsible for the development of the ectopic pregnancy In one instance, the condition might recur in a subsequent pregnancy. It is imiortant that the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy be borne in mind so that, if syr*ptorns suggesting it develop, operation may be promptly carried out. thus resulting In the saving of life.

"Am I toddling, Mike? At least that ?" I He patted ter shoulder afTec- , tlonately. "Yours beginning to walk. I am walking. 1 used to reel ... Bo long, kid.” The house was quiet and dimly i lighted when Kit went in later. She felt infinitely better, incredibly older and amazingly clearheaded. It was so simple v hen you stopped fighting your youth and inexperience, when you stopped reproaching yourself tor past mistakes. when you untied the knots in your mind and feelings. But was It so simple when all that stood in your way of making Kirk understand you was Tracy who cared for him. too? Could there be any real understanding as long as the one person who made Tracy look and feel better was Kirk? She was about to turn oft the lamp beside the bed when Tracy rang. Quickly she put on the printed housecoat and soft slippers and went down the hail. Tracy was in bed. “I heard you come in," she said "How is Mike?" Kit smiled. "He was wearing a new suit. He looks fine. He sold a short story.” Tracy looked thoughtful. “So Mike writes a short story and I take up kn.tting. The day of miracles is not past. 1 can’t sleep You asked me once if I'd like you to read to me I would tonight I went through quite a siege of poetry once. I called It the Poet's Inning.’ Over there on the bookshelf is a copy of Elisabeth Barrett Browning Do you mind?" Kit smiled again "Not Elisabeth Barrett Browning!" She fetched the book and came back to the chair beside Tracy s bed and began to read. When she had finished the lines, "Guess now who holds thee? . . . Death. I said.
