Believing in the dignity of man and his right to live in freedom and peace, we ask Divine guidance 1 in helping to safeguard these gifts | for ourselves and other peoples of the earth. ’’ o o The world enjoyed the respite; from “cold war" and Russian, blockade headlines that the birth of a bouncing boy baby to Prince I Phillip and Princess Elizabeth gave to newspaper readers. After all a little touch of nature, warms, the human heart. The royal heir arrived Sunday night at Buckingham Palace and although refern d to as a Prince of the British Empire, was much like other boys, ■weighing seven pounds, six ounces. The parents are most popular with the English people and the arrival of their first-born has crea’ed world-wide enthusiasm for the royal household. At a future date, the child may be a kingly ruler in a troubled world, when problems seem greater than those of today.

Hand and Shoulder Pain

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. OF'late years, doctors have been learning more and more about the penalties we pay for any injury or over-stimulation of the autonomic nerves, that vast and complicated system through which vital but unconscious activities of the body, such as breathing, digestion, circulation, and so on. are regulated. Recently, the basic cause of a rather strange combination of shoulder pain, with pain and swelling of the hand, which may occur as the result of many widely diverse disorders, has been traced to the gradual effect these disorders may have on the nerves which regulate the flow cf blood to the affected hand. The disease passes through sev eral stages in its progress. The first, which usually lasts from three to six months, consists of pain in the shoulder with some limitation of motion, followed by swelling, pain and stiffness of the hand and fingers. The disorder may come on slowly or suddenly. Either the hand or the shoulder may be first affected, followed by symptoms at the other location, or both parts may be as-l fected at the same time. Swelling of the hand and fingers is uniformly distributed. The skin of the hands and fingers becomes smooth and tight so that the normal folds and wrinkles are absent. There may be some peeling of the skin on the hands and. to a lesser degree, on the forearms. The skin of the I hands may be husky pink color at first. Later on. the hands become pale, with a bluish tint. Efforts to move the fingers often cause pain The »acond stage of the dueapfc,,

A suggestion has been made by Senator-elect Margaret Smith of Maine, a Republican, that the President promote national unity by’ appointing Gov. Dewey, secre- ; tary of state whenever General Marshall gives up the post. Most political observers will agree that President Truman is not likely to take such a step, and that Dewey would not be likely to accept the post if it were offered him. As a matter of fact, unity in foreign at- ’ fairs would probably best be served by continuing to have a secretary of state of the administration party. Good bipartisan cooperation has been achieved. With the coni tinning aid of men like Senator Vandenberg, there is no reason > why it should not continue. o—o Our Public Library: During this week when books j are receiving the attention of. I the nation and when the occasion 'is being observed here with a ' well arranged program, it is fit- ■ ting that memories be refreshed I I by a history of Decatur’s Carnegie I library. We are sure you will find | most interesting the various storI ies in the special page in today's issue of this paper. Erected in 1905 through the iphilantropy of the famous steel j magnate and the enterprise and , i benevolence of local enthusiasts, i the Decatur Library has proved a valuable asset and is now. more than ever, the point of literary i and historical information for ; thousands of people. Starting with ■ a few hundred volumns of books, the shelves now contain more than i IS.OOO volumns including stories, old and new. reference guides, his- , tories informative books on every nation in the world, magazines, newspapers and many features that provide facts and fiction as may be desired. Recently the library was completly repaired, remodeled and renovated and now presents a most convenient and inviting appear(ance. The trustees have in mind further improvements as finances will permit Members of the board > devote much time and effort to this work and are to be commended for their consistent improvements. The present trustees are Dr. N. A. Bixler, president; Raymond 8.Kohne, vice president, Harry Dailey, S. L. Everhart. Mrs. W. I'. J Robinson. Mrs. F. H. Willard and' Mrs. Hugh Andrews. Miss Bertha < C. Heller is the librarian. Miss i I Dorothy Cottrell and Mrs. R. D.. I Myers, assistants. All are devot-j |ed to the constant betterment of' j-the library for the convenience! . 1 and pleasure of the public. i We are proud of this great InI I I stitution and its history over the j ’ past forty-three years.

1.1 also from three to six months in i' duration, in most cases brings grad- ? I ual relief of the painful shoulder r i and some disappearance of the ■ swelling of the hand. As the swell1' ing clears up. however, the stiff- • ness of the fingers become more . pronounced. There may be some -I wasting of the tissues under the I skin and of the muscles ot the ■, hand. f ‘ The third stage lasts for many -; months and brings marked changes r in the tissues, the skin becoming smooth and glossy, with a great > lessening of the number of creases ; j and wrinkles. The wasting of the tissues under the skin progresses. • There may be overgrowth of the hair on the back of the hand and ' permanent deformities of the fin- ■ j gers. i. In many cases, this disorder f• seems to occur of itself, that is. • 1 without being provoked by any other disease. In other cases, the • nerve damage can be accounted for 1 by an inflammation of the bursa, or sac containing fluid, over the shoulder. inflammation of the tissues . around a joint, pressure on certain •j blood vessels, and by various forms ;of arthritis or joint inflammatiov. Os course, a condition of tills type should be treated by an orthopedic specialist. The exact form of treatment will depend upon the type of condition present, but the I cutting of one or the otbe r of the • various nerves which supply the I blood vessels may be helpful in the | majority of cases. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS S. B.: What is the caloric content of cerals? Answer: In general one ounce of cerai supplies about 120 caloric.

' £ CHAPTER SIXTEEN GAIL LAUGHED outright at I Alexandria’s idea of her interests. She said, "Come, Mrs. Spencer, you've been reading books and gossip columns " She could lave sworn that she saw the old woman's backbone stiffen visibly. "Like most young people 1 enjoy dancing, good restaurants, the tneater . . . and, now and then, a , night club. As a matter of fact, in my job, 1 have to be seen in ; the so-called right places, every : so often. It’s part of the picture. ; But that doesn’t mean that I i couldn’t settle down to an orderly ’ home life.” Millicent choked slightly and Mrs. Spencer said sharply: "You have admitted that you do ' not love my grandson. Are you trying to tell me that, if he asked ' you to marry him, you would j not?" "He has asked me, Mrs. Spencer." Alexandria was white under the film of powder, the very sparing dusting of rouge. She said, "And “I haven’t accepted,” said Gail, "and I haven’t refused. We have an agreement. . . Brad suggested that we be engaged to be engaged . . . until spring.” "You know, of course, that I shall repeat this fantastic conversation to Bradford?" “Oh, yes," Gail said, “but it isn’t necessary. He knows that I'm not in love with him.” Alexandria received the blow, and rallied. She said, "Then he’s more of a fool than I’ve ever believed. Or do you expect to fall in love with him—by spring?” "No," said Gail evenly, “but I like him very much. I have never liked or respected any man as i much. We have a good time, we I like being together. He interests 1 me, very much. I admire his standards, his way of life, and his work. I don’t understand his work, of course, and sometimes I don’t understand him. But given intelligence—” she paused and added—“you were kind enough to say you thought me intelligent, perhaps I could grow into understanding." Millicent said suddenly, Z “I beg your pardon,” rose, and fled from the room. It was a brave thing to do as she had never departed from Alexandria’s preser.ee without direct, or implied, permission. But she told berself, I simply cannot endure it; our poor boy, she thought, running up the beautiful stairs. She supposed another thought, which was that, for once, Alexandria had met a worthy, however mistaken, adversary. Millicent reached her room and in its virgin shelter, sat down upon her bed. She said aloud, “I shall warn him, it is my duty!" Alexandria cast a slightly as tonished glance after the small I form of her deserting companion. She waved her hand toward a silver box on a table near the couch copnwM iHt, ma w nua SaMwia cm

and asked, austerely, “Do you 1 smoke ?’* 1 “Occasionally, thank you." This : was one of the occasions. Gail < took a cigaret and set the match ; flame to its tip. She needed a cig- : aret at this juncture and it was one of the rare moments when she ■ felt that she could do with a drink . as welt Alexandria expressed no disapproval for, it she had, it might have been mentioned to Brad, and Brad, no doubt, would inform the girl that his grandmother had indulged in a postprandial cigaret long before it was de rigueur for gentlewomen: only, of course, in the privacy of her home or the homes of close friends; never in public and mainly because, at the time she acquired the habit, her husband had been immensely amused. But she hadn't smoked for several yeara, upon the advice of her doctors. Gail smoked quietly, and waited. And Alexandria asked: “Do you intend to marry my grandson?” "I don’t know,” Gail said. She looked through the veil of smoke at the older woman. “I would be I foolish not to, wouldn't I?” she I inquired. "As, surely, I shall never again meet anyone as eligible!" “Very well,” said Alexandria shortly, "so you’ll marry for money. Have you considered how ; unfair it would be to Bradford?” “Yes. That is why,” Gail murmured, “it seems best not to take any hurdles until spring. But I ’ would make him a good wife,” ’ she added firmly, "undemanding, i affectionate and . . . faithful.” "An old-fashioned term, these days,” said Alexandria, unmoved. 1 "But does he not deserve more?” “Who has more?" asked Gail. 1 “Most men have less. They may : start out with a violent—” she 1 hesitated, used the quieter term, ' “attraction, on both sides. But the • marriages that last—didn’t you ■ say they are based on more than ■ that?” “Certainly not," said Alexandria, ’ vigorously and mendaciously. This 1 dreadful girl had an accurate mem--1 ory. "A man who gives his entire heart deserves one in return. ; The original attraction does not i pass with the years, it merely be- ; comes, as you phrase it, less vioI lent and finds compensations.” Gail asked, “Why not at art with . the compensations ... respect for • each o(her as individuals, shared • tastes, and family interests?" I Alexandria flushed deeply, her - sensitive, lined skin suffused with , color. She repeated faintly, "Fam- , Uy?" 1 “Naturally." said Gail, “all I things being equal. Did you ex- • pect that I would not fulfill my i share of marriage, if possible?” The flush subsided and Gail's heart misgave her. This was her 1 enemy but she was old and frail . She added gently, ”1 am tiring ■ you, Mrs. Spencer.” / i "Not at all One more thing •uuvu. PUuM V BMckart a Caatpaar, lac

Marshall Summons Palestine Consul MacDonald Called , To Paris Confab Tel Aviv, Nov. 16 —(UP) —United States consul general Dr. James 1 C. MacDonald prepared today to fly to Paris within 24 hours for special consultations on Palestine ‘ with secretary of state George C. Marshall. Marshal! asked MacDonald to make the trip. This was interpreted in government quarters here as evidence that the U. S. might shift its stand on Palestine, including the current dispute over the Negev. The U. S. has supported UN proposals ordering Israeli forces to withdraw from the Negev desert region of southern Palestine. But I foreign minister Moshe Shertok of I Israel told the UN the new’ state i would not surrender the area and ] promised ’ bloody battles" against i any force that sought to take it. I Shertok made a blistering at-

Have you considered that you Would not be fair to yourself? You might- fall in love with someone else, when it was too late. Or do you subscribe to the theory that it is never too late, that you can indulge yourself within marriage, or, as young people do, terminate your marriage whenever the mood seizes you?" “Anyone," said Gail, “who marries, thinking, If it doesn’t work, 1 can get out of it, never meant it to work in the first place. 1 would mean it to, Mrs. Spencer. And 1 am not liable to fall in love." She folded her lips together in the manrter that Alexandria had observed, earlier in the afternoon. “Why," asked Alexandria, "should you be immune?" “For a number of reasons." Mrs. Spencer rose, and Gail came to her feet, in one flowing easy motion. And Alexandria said. "I must warn you that I shall repeat our conversation to my grandson." "Os course," said Gail. She did not offer her hand nor did Alexandria. They stood facing each other for a moment, the girl so much taller, so alive with youth, and Alexandria felt as if her hoarded vitality had been sapped from her. She made a curious little gesture with one hand, one ot dismissal and of bereavement as well And presently the door, with its beautiful iron grille, closed quietly behind Gail by Andrews’ hands, and she stood a moment on the steps. The rain had ceased, but still threatened. The park was ghostly in the dusk, the street lights came piercing through, the ground mist rose in lazy swirls of fog, vague and obscuring. She felt chilled, and shivered. She wished Sam were here beside her, that they might gc together somewhere gay and warm, loud with crazy music and the sound of voices. She wished she might tell him all that had been said this afternoon. She thought. It’s not for me . . . I’ll turn and ring the doorbell and ask that grim old man to let me in. I'll go back into that room and say I didn’t mean it, don’t worry, I won't see Brad again. No. She had made a bargain and she would stick to it, and when she reached the flat, which was empty and dreary, when she unpinned the fading violets with their too-sweet odor from her jacket, there was a Western Union messenger at the door, and a wire from Brad. calling too tonight about ELEVEN. It read. HOW DID THINGS GO WHAT TOO NEED IS A GOOD STIFF DRINK ALL MT LOVE BRAD. She laughed aloud, standing there with the yellow paper in her hand ana looking toward the clock on* the desk. It was always fast, that being the safer way in this household, but Brad had timed his telegram very neatly. (To Be Contused) c hr r«w

> tack on the chief provision of the I late UN mediator Count Folke Bernadotte's plan for Holy Land settlement, which called for the , Arabs to take over the Negev even though the Jews now control 1 it as a result of an offensive that ’ got underway on Oct. 14. Latest dispatches from the Ne--1 gev said that Egyptian troops caught in the Valuja pocket south ’ of here were desperately trying to break out and join the main Egyptian forces to the south. The dispatches said the Egyptians were leaving arms and equipment behind in their efforts to make a hasty escape. . The illegal Stern gang, which , was blamed for Bernadotte’s assassination, has issued its first . communique since the slaying. The gang warned the Israeli s government against mass arrests of extremists, saying such arrests were “calculated to please the . Marshalls, Cadogans and other Anglo-Saxons.” One hundred of the extremists are expected to go on trial Nov. 28. The gang warned there would be a renewal of underground activity if there were any more arrests.
