It looks like a White Christmas. —o o— The stores are open until nine, so get your shopping in line. o o Every day ought to be Christmas. If everyone felt down inside all the time as they do on Christmas day, this old world would be quite a different place. o o These last few days before Christmas are dedicated to the Good Fellows, who make it possible for Santa to bring happiness to every home. o o—From today on, daylight will increase an additional minute each day, but the trouble is as the days lengthen, winter will strengthen. However, the cheering note is that| spring is only three months away. o o— One of the programs that should be undertaken in the new year, is the building of more houses in De- ’ catur. Families are still looking for suitable places in which to live and during the last six months few ( new houses were constructed. o—o In a year or two, television will I bring the big Christmas programs right to your easy chair and the creative mind will depict the birth I of Jesus in Bethlehem and scenes of the holy family. The same screen can carry ths story of Scrooge, the Little One and other motivating stories of the Yuletide, i o o —- If any public official is entitled to a pension it is Senator Alben Barkley, who will become Vicepresident of the United States on January 20. The Kentucky statesman has devoted his life to public service and will continue to do as long as he lives. More capable men would aspire to be vice-presi-dent if the financial obligation wasn't so heavy. o o The holiday season is here and everyone is locking forward to a Merry Christmas. However, a Merry Christmas must be a Safe Christmas, and it is quite fitting to emphasize holiday safety to the children. Not only will they be ab-

Hemophilia: Disorder Tends to Be Hereditary

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. THERE are certain traits that run in families. Likewise, there are certain disorders that run in families and hemophilia is one of them. This is a disorder, the exact cause of which is not known, in which the blood does not clot as rapidly as it should. Occurring usually in the male, the tendency to hemophilia is transmitted by the female. New methods, described below, have been found to aid the clotting of the blood in patients with hemophilia no that operations may be safely performed on such patients. it is important that persons with this disease be traifled to avoid injury as much as possible, and still engage in many of the customary physical activities. One of the best wlys to check the bleeding is to inject into a vein, fresh whole blood, or blood plasma, that is. the fluid part of the blood. What fs known as frozen plasma may be used, but it must be thawed rapidly before being injected. The exact treatment to be employed will depend upon the sever ity of the condition if a great deal of blood has been lost, whole blood will serve two purposes. It will aid in the blood dotting and will replete the blood which has been lost. If the condition is only mode rately severe, the blood plasma may be employed It may maintain normal blood dotting for a period of about twenty-four hours. If the patient with hemophilia must have an operation, measures to control the blood dotting, such aa

1 sent from school and the constant i reminders of safety, but ihe haz-! ards are increased with the seasonal weather. Darkness falls in the late afternoon, snow and icy loads reduce the visibility and increase the stopping distance of the ! motorist and the holiday levity often decrease the caution of the driver. Extra caution is mandatory i if we are to welcome the students baick from a "Merry Christmas” with a "Happy New Year." o o I Friends will miss the smiling ' and genial countenance of Jesse B. Roop, lifelong resident of this ' city, a veteran, of the SpanishAmerican war and one of the charter members of the local Moose lodge. Jesse had a wide acquaint- ■ ance, all of whom enjoyed exchange of conversation with a most interesting individual. In recent years he was closely associated with the veterans and deeply interested in their peace time pursuits. Final tribute will be paid to him Wednesday in military rites i. to be conducted by members of the j Veterans' organizations. o o ! Home In Indiana: The Indiana economic council. ; s through a recent bulletin presents £ facts about Indiana which should make every Hoosier proud of his. state. Dr. John V. Van Sickle, ] author of the publication, has this » to say in his opening paragraph: "Indiana is the United States on a small scale. Within its bound- i aries are to be found all the problems and all the possibilities of . . I the nation. Indiana isn't very rich and she isn't very pood; she isn't very big, nor is she very small. Twenty-five states are larger only, eleven ar e more populous. With! three and three-quarters million inhabitants the population density is 05.3 per square mile. This is i slightly over twice that for the nation as a whole, but byway of contrast Rhode Island has 674 and Nevada only one inhabitant per square mile. With 3.2 percent of her people born in foreign lands and 3.6 percent Negroes, Indiana is helping to prove that people of many lands and races can live together harmoniously and prosperously. In 1946 the average Hoosier income was $1,158, which was just a trifle below the average f nr the country as a whole. Indiana probably provides a more representative cross-section picture of the American scene than any other single state. This gives to the people of Indiana exceptional opportunities for demonstrating that the democratic American methods of reform are superior to the total!-1 tarian short-cuts that have be-j come so popular in other parts of the world.”

' carried out before the operation is performed and the effects noted for two or three days. After the operation, the patient should be carefully watched for from two to ten days, depending on the surgical procedure performed. The clotting time of the blood is measured three times a day, by timing the clotting, and, if necessary. an additional injection of whole blood or blood plasma is given. Occasionally, such substances as fibrin nr thrombin should be ap plied locally to the wound in order to prevent bleeding. In a certain few cases, several injections of whole blood will not control the condition. In such instances, it may be necessary to replace most of the blood by injections of fresh, whole Mood. In some cases of hemophilia bleeding into the joints occurs, and this may produce almost total disa bility. If Ae clotting time of the blood is shortened by the injection of whole blood into a vein, the blood in the joint may be drawn out of the joint by using a syringe and needle; then beat and similar mearures are used to benefit the joint condition. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS E. E.: t have rheumatic fever and develop attacks about every three years. Would this mean that my children will also have this condition? Answer: There is some evidence indicating that rheumatic fever runs In families. However, the fact that you have this condition does not mean that your children would al*o Unlep it-

Is it all right for a man to get into a streetcar or other public com veyance, carrying a lighted cigar in his fingers? A.

The handsome Christmas pine tree Has a real nose-itching smell. The sticky Christmas candy And the holly on the door Have the kind of special odor That brings memories 'galore. But the real smell to Christmas Conies from back out kitchen way, Where the sweet brown ham -s baking And the pickle odors play. There’s the crisp white whiff of celery, The steamy oyster stew, And the sharp cranberry fragrance Blends with biscuits wahn and new. Pumpkin pies cool on the table, While their spicy fragrant steam 'Mingles with exotic mincemeat, Plates of fruitcake, rich thick cream, And the friendly smell of coffee — Yes.
