The old books were rank propaganda, claiming that the Japanese had invented the telephone, steamship and automobile. Likewise they deceived the people about the war and Japan’s infamous attack on Pearl Harbor. Another generation may see a change in the island country. o o The extra amount of highway and street repair needed this spring and summer, can only be done if money is provided for labor and materials. The legislature has the opportunity to raise these funds and the motorists has reached the point of view that he would rather have well repaired highways, than wreck his car because of pit falls in the roads and and streets. o—o Marion, Indiana, will enjoy more employment with the expansion of a Radio Corporation of America plant, which will turn out television tubes. An addition will be constructed to its present factory and it is estimated that 750 persons will be employed in the new industry. Maybe television will lead the way to economic recovery. o o Louis A. Johnson, a former assistant secretary of war, will succeed James Forrestal as SecreOverflow Crowd At Service Last Night A large overflow crowd attended the world day of prayer service held Friday night at the First Presbyterian church and sponsored by the Decatur council of church women. Dr. John G. Benson delivered the principal sermon and several special musical numbers were on the program. The auditorium and Sunday School room were filled to capacity and every available chair was 'brought into service. It was one of the largest world day of prayer services ever held in Decatur.

Different Causes of Fatigue

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. A PERSON can be in goad health and live a normal existence and yet be a victim of fatigue and overtiredness. In such cases, the fatigue may he the result of mental strain. However. in the majority of instances, the fatigue comes from other causes. Normal fatigue or tiredness is caused by physical activity, such as running, carrying out household Chores, or participation in sports. The symptoms of fatigue possibly develop because waste produ-ts formed through physical activity are not removed quickly enough from the body. Lack of oxygen or insufficient food materials may be a contributing factor. Neuralgia ■ay play a part Fatigue may develop from other conditions. Poor eyesight causing , eyestrain will naturally fatigue the aye muscles. Insufficient light may also produce eyestrain or eye fatigue. which may be a contributing factor to a general fegling of t:redTtght corsets or girdles and tight shoes and other clothing that interfere with proper circulation of the Hood may lead to tiredness. People who work in noisy sur roundin*.- frequent!, become fe k

tary of Defense, probably the most important appointive post in our government. An able man, Forrestal is the first person to have been named to the combined military post and has striven for the merger of the services. It is believed that Johnson will be able to consolidate these gains and complete the organization which the country believes should be done at once. o o The state highway commission did a good job of repairing Mon, roe street, west of the river bridge to Fourth street, last summer. It is the route of U. S. highway 224 and therefore under the supervision of the Indiana highway department. The very poor condition of the stretch from Fourth to Seventh street has been called to the department’s attention and no doubt plans will be made to resurface the highway as quickly as weather permits. In the meantime, drive carefully over the thoroughfare, if you value your life and also to protect your car. o o Decatur Dollar Days: Next Tuesday and Wednesday will be banner days for shoppers, for they will be the first DOLLAR DAYS held here since before the war. A Dollar Day section in today's issue of the Decatur Daily Democrat, lists for you thousands of bargains, offered by store and merchant. You’ll warm to the thrill of thrifty and wise shopping if you read the many bargains offered in seasonable merchandise. All roads will lead to Decatur next Tuesday and Wednesday. In addition to this newspaper’s wide circulation, the Dollar Day Section will be mailed to additional shoppers, reaching approximately 10,000 homes in the local trading area. The merchants and their staffs of sales-people have been busy arranging their stocks of merchandise so-that everything will be ready when the doors of the stores open Tuesday. Dollar Day is a day of values and bargains to match every purse and please every taste. It also has an air of celebration, because it is an institution, which has proved popular and profitable for the buyers and merchants as well. Welcome to Decatur's big Dollar Days! Berne Alumni Plan For Annual Banquet * Berne, March 5 — The annual banquet of the Berne high school alumni association will be held Friday evening. April 20. at the Berne auditorium.

tigued. Another cause, often unrecognized. is improper diet. Not only may insufficient food lead to fatigue but failure to obtain all of the necessary food substances, such as vitamins and minerals, may lead to , a constantly tired feeling. It is obvious that failure to get enough sleep may frequently be the 1 underlying -basis for fatigue. Tiredness is on of the symptoms 1 in numerous sicknesses, such as damage of the nervous system, glandular disorders and many types 1 of infections. j If you feel tired, the first thing ' to do is to have a careful study made by your doctor to determine ' just what has brought it about. '. Then and only then can the condition be quickly and permanently ’ corrected. « . r- • QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS r' M. N. I have a girl eighteen years ■ old.

Sara Allen, housekeeper, reveals to Tun some ot the family's romantic history, CHAPTER TEN TIM GRANT counted the strokes of the clock. Four. Good : Lord, he had been reading for ' hours. Thanks to Sarah Allen’s description and the diary, his 1 grandfather had materialized from 1 the shadow world to become a three-dimensional personality. And , now to bed. 1 He had one arm out of his brown ( velvet jacket when a -cream came , through the open window and set i the air vibrating. What in thunder—another yell Sounded as If i it had come from the right wjng, ; Madam Stewart’s apartment Half- ] way down the stairs he remembered the diampnds she had wom : at dinner and took the last three ; steps in a leap. As he snapped , on more light he thought he heard the soft closing of a door below. I He was not the only person who had heard the terrifying shriek. Doors opened overhead Men with robes over their pajamas, women in house coats and mules catapulted down the stairs in a vivid stream of color. Debby Randall in a pale blue satin coat caught his arm as he tried the door of Madam Stewart’s living room. Tim! Tim! Was it Molly R? Someone after her jewels?" she demanded breathlessly. *1 knew it would happen." The scream seemed to come from here. Good Lord, why doesn't she answer?" "Perhaps she cant" That’s a cheering thought, Deb." He shook the door. "Any other way to get tn?” “Oh, dear! Oh, dear. Perhaps Molly B. has been mur—" Tilly Farr In yellow velvet lounge pajamas shuddered and hid her face against the black satin shoulder of her husband's robe. "Can't one of you tell me of an- 1 other way to get into this room?" Tim Grant a voice was hoarse with anxiety. I There are outside stairs from the terrace to her balcony, but—” , The sound of a key turning interrupted Deborah’s whisper. The door opened. Madmn ■tawart, ' belting a white Chinese Mandarin j coat embroidered in rose-color iris , and green gold dragons, stepped across the threahoU, "What goes?" She laughed. "Don’t tell me that Ingrid's nightmare brought this convocation or is it a sunrise surprise party? I • miss Sophy. She must “be sleeping , on her good ear." Tim Grant could have shaken her as she stood there smiling while his nerves twanged like harp strings being brushed by a heavy hand. He was not the only one. Lander, la a dark green brocaded

robe, which betrayed the bulge in his waistline, was scowling with impatience. Warner was nervously swinging the tasseled cord of his khaki-color house robe. Stella Dane in a flimsy violet negligee which revealed white pajamas beneath ran down the stairs and caught her employer’s arm. "Are you sure that awful sound was a nightmare, Madam Stewart?” she whimpered. “Pull yourself together, Stella. Os course 1 am sure. Haven't 1 lived with Ingrid’s nightmares for years? Accustomed as 1 am to them, I'll admit that when the first yell woke me from a sound sleep, it frightened the life out of me, my knees are still shaking like a mold ot jelly. She has been warned to leave sweets alone. 1 noticed that she had second helping of lemon chiffon pie at dinner." "What's all the shootin’ about?" Burke Romney sent his voice ahead as he ran down the stain The crimson corduroy of his lounge robe, which didn’t quite cover the legs of his red and white striped pajamas, lent a tinge of color to his olive skin. “Who had a nightmare and let out those blood-curd-ling screams?” "Smart fella, Burke. You recognized it for what it was, and took it leisurely," Clive Warner commented sarcastically. The rest of us break our necks beating it to help a woman we fear is being mur—" “Don’t say It, Captain," Molly Burton Stewart interrupted sharply. “I use the word and plenty in my stories, but 1 don't like it on the loose in my house.” Her shiver was genuine. “Go back to your rooms, please. Ingrid will hear you. 1 don’t want her to know she roused the household. She is sensitive about her nightmares." "Gad, she should be,” Judge Lander, looking slightly pontifical in his long green robe, agreed testily. “Good night, everybody, and thanks for your concern about me. Pleasant dreams—there is time still for a few.” Molly Burton Stewart blew them a kiss and closed the door. A key clicked. “That seems to be that Break ranks" Tim suggested and laughed. "Go ahead, all of you. I'll put out the lights 1 switched on when I arrived at this door." Deborah lingered. Her eyes followed the figures hastily mounting the stairs. Still watching she moved close to him and whispered: “Did x ou notice that Burke Romney was wearing black evening shoes * with those red and white pajamas?" “I did, Debby. I noticed also that the tips of the toes were wet as if he had just come in from outside. Leave it at that for the present, will you? Your eyes are enormous. Remember that emotional crack-up. Please ge to bed." “I'm going. Good night, good morning, rather." He watched till she was out of sight in the upper gallery. What would she think if he told her that not only had be Noticed the black evening shoes but, also, that Stella Dane's gold sandals were moist at the tips as if wet from dewy grass? Had it been a sentimental rendezvous? "Nightmare," he said under his breath as he snapped off all but one light. ’’Nightmare, pbooey.

Boy, oh boy, what goes? What goes?" • ■ • Wonderful what a night’s sleep can do—even if broken by screams jjt 4a. m.—how it can change one’s point of view, Deborah thought the next morning as, flat on ner back on . bed of dried pine needles, she looked up through green branches at a luminous blue sky. She listened drowsily to the lap, iap, of water against the side of her canoe moored at the float on the white-sand shore of the Island, the rasp of a distant saw, and the rhythmic breathing of the black cocker spaniel sprawled beside her in what appeared to be Utter exhaustion. Heavenly spot. No wonder the lake was surrounded by large summer estates, their boathouses the only part of them visible from this viewpoint Already she felt made over physically, her cold but a wraith of memory. Now she was back to normal, why not check on her impressions of yesterday? Had her weep-fest been gathering tn the offing, and so inflamed her imagination that a voice from the gallery bay bad appeared to threaten, or was trouble really lurking round the comer? She brushed away a bee buzzing too near her nose for comfort. The movement brought Cocky to his haunches with a grunt of disapproval. Laughing, she roiled over to elude his rough tongue on her throat left bare by the V of her white shirt, dug elbows into the soft needles, braced chin in hands and looked across the lake at the college boathouse where two scantily clad men were lowering racing shells into the water. She shook her head at the dog Who had ingratiatingly laid an oversize pine cone on a fold ot her navy slacks. "No can play now. Cocky. Go hunt squirrels while Debby thinks." He barked at the scolding chipmunk on a branch overhead before he trotted toward the woods. She picked up the train of thought The campus appeared peaceful enough at present it suggested no sinister mystery. The pinkish brick buildings which surrounded it and the white chapel with its heaven-pointing, gold-tipped spire were ivy-covered in the best New England college tradition. Grand old trees shaded benches beneath them. Scattered about were stiff, motionless figures, bronse tributes to departed proxies, a hundred or more years gone, some of them. Iron lampposts which for decades had lighted students on their way now held electric bulbs instead of oil. The paths which crossed and crisscrossed the short grass were dotted with strolling or hurrying figures. Toward the west stretched the long, two-story brick building with huge windows enclosed in an iron fence with ornate memorial gates, which was the Science Center. East of it a plane was landing on the college airfield. Not far away a dark depression marked the Bowl for athletics which Molly R had given in memory ot her son. She had named R the Bass Bowl because fishing tor base in the lake had been his favorite sport. Faintly across ths water came the strain of the chapel organ: in heavenly love abiding No change my heart staff /ear. (To Be CeatimudJ

Back In Action, Student Pilot Has Ups And Downs

(This is one of a series of articles by Ken Bernstein, Daily Democrat reporter, who is learning to fly at the Decatur airport.) Takeoffs and landings were on the schedule but the turf at the DeJohn Rogers had me fly up to catur airport proved a little too muddy for pleasure. Instructor Fort Wayne, where we were to go through these maneuvers on more solid ground. We shied away from downtown Fort Wayne, limiting most of the view to the neat residence sections of the east end of town. North of the city lay Smith field, whose long blacktopped runways projected in eight directions. At about 890 feet I was able to make out the wind direction as westerly, though I'd guessed it all the trip up from the swerving of the plane. I had no fear coming in for my first Fort Wayne appearance—only a feeling of embarrassment. I was wondering what these experts would say about anybody landing as haphazardly as me. We skimmed over a tall farmhouse and there was the bast-west runway awaiting our wheels. I

guess I overshot, because those wheels didn’t touch till two-thirfi of the runway was gone. Rogers pushed the throttle all th way in and we were aloft agate, | without so much as stopping »| pass the time of day with the St» I mit City aviators. I climbed to 800 feet in a big I circle and came in again. I landed and took off five or six times, ie | proving my judgment just a little at each throw. One worry I had while skirtiaj Fort Wayne was other air traffic I had visions of our trusty Cessna and a DC-6 brushing wingtips at 1,000 feet. We didn't encounter any trouble, though. About an hour after leaving the Decatur airport we were back again. I felt pretty smug about fiuding my way 'back without any help, relying mostly on U. S. 27 and the compass. In fact I was so self-satisfied that I overshot the field and Rogers had to go into a violent sideslip t« bring us down at the right tlm’ and place. That hasty descent felt a lot better than the loop and spin he treated me to the before. .That’s the lesson I didn't write about.
