Bid the old year goodbye, and get ready to welcome Miss 1949. O O—t~ So far old 1948, hasn't made much of a rumpus on her final act. —o o— t — Local merchants and stores are giving 31 prizes to the first 1949 baby, born with the advent of New Years in either of the six north townships in the county, Decatur included. It is the Tenth Annual Baby Contest and Miss or Mister 1949, together with the parents will receive a jack-pot of usuable pre-1 sents from those who wish to help I celebrate the infant’s arrival, o o The output of automobiles and trucks in this country for 1948 will be the second highest in the history of the industry. There is some guessing that it might be the highest. As a point of interest, it is noted that the high mark which still stands was set by the industry in 1929, the year which is remembered for the start of the slide toward depression. We trust there is no significance in the parallel. o o Dwight Arnold, who is closing! the county service office with the end of the year, has‘been appointed by Mayor John M. Doan to the trouble-shooter and checker for the parking meters that will be installed here after the first of the year. Being a mechanical device, the meters need attention and frequent check-up and Mr. Arnold will devote his time to that assignment. Then too, someone must be responsible for the collection of the nickels and pennies deposit-; ed in the meters, which task will also be assigned to the new ap-, pointee. o o There will be a short delay in the issuing of the 1949 auto plates, because the state office in Indianapolis is not ready to receive the remittances and reports from the county bureaus. The plates have been distributed and local bureaus are organized to do the work, but have been informed not to place the tags on sale until the reorganization of the motor vehicle department is completed.

One Good Reason Annua I Health Exam

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. ONE of the many reasons why each of us should have an annual health audit is to be sure that the great filtering plant in the body—the Sidneys—is in good working order. One of the disorders of the kidney is brought about when stones form in them. Fortunately, in recent years, a great deal has beep learned about kidney stones which may be made up of different types of chemicals. For example, some contain calcium oxalate. These are (he most common stones found in persons in the United States They may also contain calcium phosphate, uric acid, and cystine, which is an amino acid. Most stones are made up of a mixture of these various substances. C.xalate stones are small, dark, rough, and hard: calcium phosphate stones small, white, soft, and chalky; uric acid stones small and usually quite yellow in color, and cystine stones have a waxy appearance. ggactly why kidney stones form is not definitely known as yet. al though many scientists are workinf on »hi« problem However, there are some who believe that they are formed around a small bit of material. This may come from a deposit of qslcium or lime salts in the kidney from the blood Thus, any factor which speeds up the elimination of salts through the kidney would tend to cause the stone to grow rapidly. These factors include blocking of the fk>» of the urine, prolonged rest in bed and the drinking of too little water, infections of any kind In the kiteeji. tho taktsx of uuslftcicnt

Soviets have 13 million prisoners 1 behind the iron curtain, including two million Germans. Many t are women and children where they must work in labor camps. ’ No country that treats humanity in that style will ever survive. Someday revolution against the slave-driving rulers will break out and then the people may be able I to free themselves. o o More litigation seems to be in ! the offing in regard to the claim of the federal government to the oil and other minerals which may ! i lie beneath the offshore tidelands \ along the coasts. Texas and Louisiana will fight the latest government move, to establish paramount interest in the Gulf of Mexico tidelands touching those two states. The Louisiana suit conI ceivably might be settled on the I precedent of the California case, | decided in favor of the govern- | meat by the Supreme Court. But Texas at least will be able to inject different arguments. Texas came into the Union from the status of an independent nation, by treaty, and the treaty reserves ; to the state title to al] public lands and waterways. —o flit was the writer's pleasure to listen to Arthur H. (Red) Motley, ace salesman, advertising executive and Parade Magazine publish- | er make a talk on salesmanship. Motley started off with a plain statement that, “Nothing e ver happens until someone sells something.” No mure truthful words could be spoken. Simple in wording, if a person reflects a moment he realizes that sales keep the world going. The New York publisher who has had one of the most successful and colorful careers in America, could sell religion and even world peace. His theme is that you must create the want, not so much as fulfilling the need. I “Wants are the fundamental thing. Needs are valueless unless the per- ; son wants to satisfy those needs." ■ This same logic is true in religion, education or world peace. The other , fellow must want it and be willing .' to acquire it. More men like Mot■l ley could sell the country on new * ideas. No doubt he is one of the > I best salesmen in America. 1 I There has been developed for , I beauty-conscious women who have , hearing difficulties and are sensiive about wearing hearing aids, a small attractive comb to which s the receiver of any hearing aid , can be attached.

, fluids, and excessive sweating. Other factors may be related to the excretion of large amounts of line salts through the kidneys. For example, a disturbance of the glands in the neck, known as the parathyroid glands, may be a factor. Large doses of vitamin D will cause a temporary increase in the amount of calcium in (he urine. Then, too, a marked deficiency of vitdmin A may be responsible. The symptoms of kidney stones consist of pain, often with fever and chills. The diagnosis, as a rule, is not difficult. Often, blood is found In the urine. Many of the stones can be seen in the X-ray plate. In treating the condition, if the pain is severe, and it usually is. some opiate is often necessary. It is important, if there is infection present, that such preparations as penicillin or the sulfonamide drugs be given. • Sometimes a stone can be removed through the systoscope, which consists of a tube with a light. The instrument is passed into the bladder and then another instrument, called the catheter is passed upward into the ureter which passes from the kidneys into the bladder If -the stone cannot be removed in this way. operation is necessary. To prevent recurrence the patient should drink plenty of fluids and the diet should be low in the substances from which the removed stone is formed, for example, oxalates. Any blocking of the flow of urine should be corrected, by surgery If necessary, and infections should be overcome by proper treatment

I ♦ 4 VFW's Bonus Stand (Editor's note: The following article outlines the stand of the In diar.a department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars on the method ol payment of the proposed Indian* bonus for World War II veterans) Dear Governor Schricker: The Veterans of Foreign Wars department of Indiana, desire tc thank you for your letter of No vember 17 inquiring as to our views concerning a plan for payment ol the World War II soldiers’ bonus voted by the people at the Novern ber election. Our state legislative committee has carefully considered the entire subject matter and has conducted an intensive survey of our posts throughout the State. A large num ber of suggestions have been re ceived from our members and theii families, and after careful study our committee determined that i would not be appropriate for the

Veterans of Foreign Wars to sug gest any one certain tax plan al this time, but you may be assured of the willingness of our organiza tion to cooperate with you and the legislature in effecting any intelli gent tax plan which the legislature representing all of the people, may finally indicate it can approve. Our legislative committee found from its study that a majority of our members favor a plan of World War II bonus on the order of the following: 1. Eligibility:'Every person who served in active duty in the United States armed forces (including army, navy, marine corps, coast guard or any woman’s auxiliary branch) for a period of not less than ninety (90) days between October 16, 1940 and December 31, 1945.

Payments: Payments to be SIO.OO for each month or fraction thereof in domestic service, and $15.00 for each month of fraction thereof in foreign service; and no claimant to receive payments in excess of a maximum of $900.00. In addition, the sum of SIOO.OO to be added for any veteran who incurred a combat wound. In case of death of any eligible veteran, the next of kin to be paid his benefits under this Act, only in the order named: Spouse (if unmarried at the time of making application), child or children, and .dependent mother or dependent father. Priority in payment of the bonus to be based upon the promptness of eligible claimants in filing their bonus claims. No payment to be nude to any person receiving compensation in the nature of a bonus from any other State or Territory; and no assignment of bonus benefits to be valid. 3. World War II Bonus Commission: A commission of five (5) persons to be appointed by the governor to supervise and administer the bonus act, to be known as the Indiana World War II bonus commission; all members thereof to 1— honorably discharged veterans of World War 11, who were residents of the state of Indiana for five
