As citizens you are en- L titled to your say and your tug-■ gestions are wanted by the of-| fieials whose duty it is to adopt or I I reject the proposed- legisla ion. There will be more need for zoning and premise use ten years from ( now, so it is important that we as . citizens interest ourselves in the ( civic ven ure and each help build , a better place in which to live. o o— — The latest development in the Indiana soldiers' bonus problem is to ■hold another referendum to amend the constitution so $150,000,000 in , bonds can ’be issued to pay the veterans. We doubt if this will solve the matter. A person may vote for the bonus and still not favor the bond issue. So you get tack to the starting point of passing a special tax. collecting the money and pay-as-you-go. Why; couldn't the legislature make a loan from the RFC and refund it over a ten year period?

The Body Needs Its Protein

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IT behooves all of us to be on fvnilar tet.ns with the all-lnipar-tant food part called protein. It is necessary in the diet not only for the repair of worn-out tissues but for building new tissues as well. When the body weight and strength are threatened by disease, the quality of the diet is much tnora important than the quantity or the caloric value. This is especially true in regard to the proteins. The important proteins cc no from such foods as meat. milk, Mgs ' beans, and peas. It is especially im portant to give the right type of protein foods in sufficient amounts in cases of injury or horns, following surgery, and dunug chronic or prolonged infections. The amount of protein tn the diet may be deficient because the food given is not pn.per. or because eat ii>j is difficult owing to age or to such conditio: s as ulcer of the stomach. ebroni kidney disease, or other illaesacc Sonetnnes. enough food is eaten, but it is not taken op and |sed by the body because of vctalting. diarrhea, bowel infectious, cr liver disease If, for some reason. the amount of protein in the diet is restricted the water Intake should also be re duced. since large amounts of fluids will cause the body to eliminate some of the proteins. Either toe tmteh or too' IMtie wait is harm fill iu such caws. lhero should be.

Congressman Rankin of Mississippi, is one of the Dixiecrats who is attempting to embarrass the administration with his free-for-all federal bonus bill. Everybody knows its unpopular to oppose bonus benefits, but we seriously, doubt if veterans of both wars want a hand out to everybody, regardless of need. The Veteran's Administration now administers nearly six billion dollars a year for hospitalization and disability claims for veterans, which the country approves. Under the Rankin bill everybody who served in uniform would be entitled to S6O a month at age of 60, which amount would be boosted to S9O at 65 years. By 1985, it is estimated over 5.000.0 C-O men would be drawing monthly pensions, millionaires, movie actors, executives in the I .JIO.WW a-year and higher brackI c-ts, and the needy getting the I same. The thing that Rankin missed, is that he didn't propose away to raise the billions. o o— — Agreement On Wheat: A new effort is being made to reach an international agreement to stabilize the world wheat mark- ( et. Two previous attempts have failed. The last failure was generally blamed on this country, i sir.ee an agreement was drafted but the Senate refused to ratify i.. Another powerful factor, however, was the absence of Russia and Argentina. This time they have entered the conference. Two of the announced goals are to assure importing nations a dependable supply, and to apportion the world market fairly among the exporting nations. There would be great advantage for all the na tions in the achievement of these aims. The third goal, to smooth fluctuations in prices, has a certain air of economic unreality. Proposals have been to achieve this aim by setting arbitrary | maximum and minimum prices for ■live years, In advance. It is a good idea as long as the market price does not move out of the agreed range. But if it should do so, what then? Either the A agreement would have to be junked or someone would have to absorb the losses. Planning is needed in many fields, and especially so in relation to world food supply. Planning often gets a bad name be cause some -of its advocates forget in their enthusiasm, certain hard facts of life. No number of signatures on a treaty will prevent a hungry man from offering what money he has to buy food, nor enable him to buy at the treaty price if he lacks the money. CAPO OF THANK 3 We wish in this manner to thank our ne!;f ''ors, friends and rela lives for their symphathy and many acts of kindness during the illness and death of our mother. Bogper Children

about one gram of salt (1/30 of an ounce) in a diet which supplies about 1800 calories a day. Sufficient protein in the diet will reduce the burden on the liver, it would appear that egg white is an excellent source of protein, as is whole egi? and whole unilk. There are certain preparations made tip of amino acids which are the substances of which proteins are composed. These should be utilized in special cases, but in a person who can* get enough nrrtein food, these substances are. as a rule, unnecessary. i.Vmong the conditions which interfere with .the use of protein by the body arc disorders of the blood, eiandalar disturbances. Including diabetes, toxic goiter, and gout. In these conditions, the protein intake should be carr'uily controlled and, of course, the proper for the various disorders carried out. Before and t ter operations, snecial attention should be given to the protein intake in the diet. As a mati ter cl fact, every day the healthy person should see that his diet contains enough of the right kinds of proteins.' QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS W.: What causes colitis, and is there a cure for it? Answer: There are many ’ypea of colitis and they result, from various causes. Some cases are due to •nfwtion; <whcr« to the wrong use ,o( laxative » and improper diet.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE THE REST of Red Islip’s apartment consisted of bedroom and bath and a big kitchen where a small table, drawn up by the windows, was neatly laid for three. Red gestured with his fork to the p.geon-blood vase with its spray of yellow roses. "Sammy’s contribution," he explained. “She said we had to be extra special today because this is the first time you have been our guest." Mark flushed pleasurably. "Tenet Number Two. Make people fee! important. And it works, brother, it works." "There’s no hypocricy In that tenet,” Red argued. “People are important The trouble is so many of them do not realize it" "We do not buy flowers for everybody, though, no matter how important they are. Only for those, like you, who are personally important to us.” Red waved them to chairs at the table. “I'm putting everything on at once, so we will not be interrupted once we get started. t “Plug in the perc, will you, Sammy? Soup’s cm.” The luncheon consisted of double toasted-chccse sandwiches with crisp curls of bacon, a tossed green salad in a handsome bowl, pastries, fruit and cuHee. Red, still in chefs cap and apron, paused briefly beside Sammy’s chair and touched her hand, lying upturned on the table. Then he sat down and swished open his napkin. "Don't you ask the blessing?” Mark asked interestedly.

Red hesitated momentarily then , answered frankly. “Publicly I do £ whenever I am asked. Privately j I say a silent thanks before each ( meal and about a thousand odd ] times a day. I'm a very grateful ( guy: I've got so much to be grateful for. And 1 did think thanks. | 1 did it when 1 touched Sammy." "Do you mean you disapprove of | public blessings?" Mark's interest • was that of complete sincerity. | "No, 1 approve of them. But < they make some people feel self- I conscious and awkward. And pub- I lie blessings, like prayers, are spoken half to G.d and half to ' the audience. There's a formality about it. When Sammy and I are I alone we hold hands for a second i and each thinks his private thanks. At least, 1 think thanks. I do not | know what Sammy thinks." * “You never will know,” Sammy ' said. "My private thoughts are i strictly private." "What did you mean when you said you do your homework on Friday?" Mark asked. "Do you mean studying for your classes?” “Partly. But for the most part 1 work on my speeches and sermons and map out my program for the nex’ week. 1 check over my classwork for the next week, too, the classes 1 am teaching. I do the whole week in advance." "De you write your sermons?” "Sometimes. Just tor my own clarification. 1 do not read them I'Ve really plugged at extemporaneous speaking which isn't extemporaneous at all because you have it down pat in your mind before hand. Extemporaneous speaking is just a close co-ordination of mental and vocal processes." “And you would ask my advice!” Mark scoffed. “But it worked! i*m stuek-up as the dickens about it." t "He doesn t think we mean it,” Red explained to Sammy. "Sammy. go ahead. You ash him." Sammy clasped her hands together, palms upward, on the CBsmmt. IMA •> can San* l

table and leaned intently toward < Mark. “Mark," she said, and her voice 1 was excitingly breathless, "Red ’ and 1 got the idea the other day that you think we made a mistake, i waiting so long to get married, that we are making a mistake 1 now, waiting another year.” Mark was disconcerted. ”1 don’t' remember that we even discussed 1 it," he said. I "We didn’t But Red and 1 got 1 that impression. Is it correct?" |l "I’m —uh — that is — " Mark floundered while Sanuny and Red waited silently. "I’m not an ex- j temporanfeous speaker,” he said' defensively. "My mind and myj tongue go shooting off in opposite directions.” "No hurry," Red said kindly! "We’ll wait till they get back on the same track.” "At first,” Mark admitted reluctantly, "just at first 1 thought you were taking an awful chance, waiting so long. -Suppose one of you had changed your mind! So many people do, you know. But I realized almost at once that was nonsense. You are sure of yourselves. Or maybe it’s just that you love each other enough. But I knew there wouldn't be any mind changing.” "So then you decided that we are right to wait?" Sammy prompted gently. Mark moved uneasily and his brows fretted. "Well, not exactly. 1 couldn’t get it out of my mind. I still can't get rid ot the idea. 1 wake up in a .cold sweat thinking about it My God, suppose something should happen to one of you and after all this love, all this

working and waiting, you never should have any marriage at all! Accidents do happen, happen to the best people in the world, too* It puts me in a blue funk just thinking of the possibility." There was a long stillness in the big kitchen. "If we knew, all three of us," Red said at last, speaking gravely, "that, as you say, something would happen to Sammy or me inside of a year, you would consider it the greatest pity of all that there had been no marriage?" | “Os course," sale Mark. Wouldn't you?" Sammy and Red smiled radiantly and nodded approval, one toi the other. | "Good,” Red said. "Now we’re getting somewhere. Sammy and I talked it over. In fact, we’ve talked about little else. We knew I you felt that way. And the more we talked about it the more we wonaered what the devil we are waiting for. We're both right here. It wouldn't disrupt anything. We spend all our spare time together anyhow." "It wouldn’t even upset our budget," Sammy added. "We know that two cannot live more cheaply than one, but certainly two can live together more cheaply than two apart. It will probably mean money in the bank for us.” "And Sammy could get used to having me around before we buckle down to the church business. Taking on me and a church simultaneously would be quite a chore for the frivolous brat And it wiU probably take at least a year for me to get used to having Beauty In Person around the house day and night" "It would take me forever." Mark said fervently. Td be afraid to draw a full breath for fear it would melt away into thin air and I would find it was all a dream." ■"Then you seriously advise us to quit stalling and—well, get PoaiaaM u Soia* M«tna CoaMoj. thw.

ourselves married?” Sammy asked. “1 couldn’t advise you,” Mark remonstrated. “How could I advise you?” , “You don’t have to, Mark,” Red said dryly. “You have." “1 only said what 1 thought,” Mark reminded him. I "That’s what I mean." Mark was amuseo to learn that in the brief forty-eight hours that had elapsed since their former meeting, they had covered the entire subject with characteristic and enthusiastic thoroughness. They had agreed that there was plenty lof room for Sammy in Red’s big ;barn of an apartment • "It isn’t very honeymoonish," ! Red admitted. "But nothing else is ! available and I have another year's lease on this.” “You'll be surprised how bridalizing a few rugs and curtains are,” Sammy commented sagely. “You can bridalize the bedroom and kitchen all you like,” Red told her. "But spare the town halt Don't forget my hoodlums. They feel at home here. 1 don't want them to turn self-conscious on me.” "The sooner they get over being self-conscious in the presence of nigs and curtains, th. better,” Sammy said. “But we'U be gradual abom it 1 will move in on them doily by doily, as it were.” They had discussed tentative dates. "The first two weeks in July Is the practical solution.” Sammy said. "We have already planned to take our vacations then and we always vacation together. By making it July we can incorporate honeymoon and holiday. Besides.

June is the bride’s month and 1 can model enough trousseaux to talk the coutuneica out of my ■ own." "July!" Mark protested. "Why, July is six months away!" "Neighbor!” Red, beaming broadly, thrust his big hand across the table for a hearty shake. Sammy laughed. “Red, don’t you try to give Mark the idea that all this procrastination was my idea! Red outlined his program to me and 1 said all right But if he I had suggested that we elope from college I would have chucked my I books at the dean’s head and raced Red off the campus.” I "It was the war threw us of! i schedule." Red admitted. "1 hadn’t counted on that We'd nave teen married years ago if they hadn't chucked their war into our applecart." "We could take the rest of the day off and pop down to Maryland this afternoon. 1 have the car," Mark suggested hopefully. The place as well as the time had been discussed. They did not want a wedding but they wanted solemnity, they wanted a background of spiritual quiet. "Little Church Around the Corner?” Mark hazarded helpfully. "We spoke of that,” Red said. "Too much publicity stunting. We are very private" "You probably will not approve of this, Mark, you're so conventional," Sammy said with some eagerness. “But it keeps bobbing up in my mind and I can’t get rid of the idea. In fact. 1 do not want to get nd of it. It's not a very churchly place It’s small and out-of-the-way and nothing ritualistic about IL I'm speaking of Red’s little chapel on the water front. Red has done a swell job there and it means something vital I to us. And we do not want an elegant wedding. Just quid, i Solemn." /To Be Coufhwedl unutM W baa l euawax)
