Mother's Day: Tomorrow, Sunday, is Mother's Day and the ordinary mortal once again strives to express heartfelt sentiments towards the world's most lovely creature, Mother. One might lose his faith in the old world, if it were not for the mothers, who out of love give life the touch that makes man go on. One cannot write about the virtues of motherhood without becoming very sentimental and there is nothing pollyanna about that.’We all love our mothers. In a lighter vein someone Wrote: ‘M you were someone else’s Mom You know what I would do? I'd have a CARBON COPY made, So you'd be My Mom, too! This day and every day, may God continue to bless the mothers. —-o It was a fast jump from winter to summer. —-o o We might be in for a scorching summer, since the weatherman already predicts relief fropt a May heat wave. —o o The Ohio highway department will experiment with rubber-pav-ed roads. Natural, synthetic and reclaimed rubber will be mixed with concrete and applied to the roads, which engineers say will make the pavements more safe for traffic. In view that our concrete highways are going to pieces, engineers and chemists should continue research along the line of building roads cut of rubber. It is possible that the rubber-concrete mixture might outlast present day materials. o o Police Chief Borders and other officers are doing a commendable service in creating a friendly relationship with the boys and girls, through the organization of parades in the safety campaign. The riders are taught the rules of safety. Nearly 200 youngsters participated ia the PTA parade last evening and the guidance of the police served as good instruction to those who ride bicycles.

— - . I Infection May Develop After Tonsillectomy

By Herman N. Bundeaen, M, D. REMOVAL of the tonsils is ordi-1 narily a simple operation, from, which the patient makes a quick J uncomplicated recovery. Sometimes, however, an infection' may develop at or near the site i of operation, invading the lymph glands of the neck, the deeper layers of the skin, or the spaced between the muscles. In other cases, there may be a blood elot In a vein of the neck, or the infection may enter the blood stream to cause septicaemia or blood poisoning. When such an infection develops, it usually starts gradually. The temperature rises, and there are often chills and sweats. The patient may have difficulty tn swallowing' and breathing. There is pain in the throat and neck. On examination, tender areas can be found. Just why these infections develop after removal of the tonsils cannot I always be determined. They may' occur because there is some infection in the tonsils or throA when the tonsils are removed, or the patient may have a cold. Injuty to some of the muscles during the tonail operation may be a factor,, ' These infections of the heck may be treated in one of two ways Some physicians favor early draining of the infected areas. Others prefer to wait until they are sure that th cinvolved area baa been I well found and has begun to I localiae. The ms of het pacti and < X-ray traataenU may ba helpful tn < I

wise for the children, who are given first hand evidence that the police are their friends in any movement embracing law observance. o o Instructions in the Bible and lessons from the Holy Book will be given children who attend she Vacation Bible School, which will open June 3 for a two weeks run. This school is a splendid adjunct to the educational system and one of great good to the children. In fact every person who marches under the symbol of the Cross, should be acquainted with she I Bibical stories and it is com- | mendable that the instructors ' who carry on the school sacrifice their time in this timely assignment. O 0 "Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which many years ago used to be played in Russia, has been revived. Possibly the idea is to represent it as an authentic picture of life in the United States today. Americans brought up on this old-time favorite would find the Russian version disappointing, as it has no bloodhounds. Instead, their howls are heard offstage. Simon Degree appears, large as life, and, by a ; Russian innovation, hangs Uncle Tom. No report has come as to j whether the Russians have retained those popular characters, Topsy and Little Eva. Voters in favor of school consolidation out numbered those opposed by a two-to-one margin in I Thursday’s special election in | Washington and Monroe townships. Sentiment favors the consolidated school, more modern I i quarters for students and better facilities in the all-important task ; of educating youth. The referendum affirms the proposal for school township merger in the two townships, along with Kirkland township. Plans toward this goal will be developed, the spon- j sors say. Good schools make a better community. —o —o- — A postal card poll was conduct- I ed in Huntington on the parking | meter question and a majority voted against installing the meters. It might have been wiser to have installed the coin collectors and then taken a referendum on their use. There is not a lot of objection to the meters in Dfca- t tur, and the advantages of finding parking places along Second street, together with their income for the city treasury, seem to commend their use to other | cities. Because they can find a place to park, women shoppers are the best boosters for the ( meters.

• bringing the infection to a head. ( The sulfonamide drugs and peniI ciliin are. of course, valuable in 1 combating infections caused by' , germs which are sensitive to the, ' action of thesle drugs. The patient’s general strength ' should be kept up by rest in bed. and plenty of fluid. An injection of | whole blood into a vein is useful when the infection is severe. If | there is great difficulty in swal’owing, it may be necessary to pass a! tube directly into the stomach so that food can be taken. The physician will, of course, de- , cide just when the infection should be cut open and drained and the type of operation to carry out. As I a rule, after ths infection is opened, a drain is required and a suitable dressing put <ln. If an infecte fl blood clot is present in one of the veins of the neck, it. too,‘must bfe treated. Following the removal of the tonsils, the patient always is watched carefully by the- physician to make’ sure that this type of complication is not developing, or. if it does occur, that it is discovered early and promptly treated. .’fel QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J.

SYNOPSIS Marriage for the Parishes had begun frugally and happily. After ten years Beatrice parish and her successful husband, Porter, find themselves at an Impasse. Porter has become morose, disgruntled as cantankerous old Mr. Ramey, the rich Industrialist who employs him. Beatrice tears that ttielr marriage is headed tor the rocks. At breakfast Porter creates an ugly scene with Marianne, their little school-girl daughter. Angrily he slams out of the house. Beatrice determines that there shall be no divorce. She herself had been a child of divorce and bitterly remembers her misery. Their Ilves together, their home must, at all costs, be preserved for Marianne. CHAPTER FOUR BEATRICE had found an inner beauty and a winning simplicity in Hilde Bradley. During the ten years of semi-monthly visits to the hairdresser’s little shop, she had seen Hilde’s role alter from that of the new girl, shunned by the customers, to one so much in demand that no hour of her long working days was free of appointments. Moreover, Beatrice had seen the girl in love with the redhaired boy she had married and followed until the gates had closed, separating the civilian from the military, separating Hilde from him whom she loved most in the world—the tall figure in aGI uniform. Beatrice had gone to the hospital to see her when her son had been bom, and then because I Beatrice herself had followed Por--1 ter to California when he had been | in the Navy, she had not seen ' Hilde again until the war was over, and she had again found her in the same little Shop. Beatrice wondered if anyone had | ever told Hilde that she was beautiful. She wondered if her husband had ever told her, or if to him she wks just a long-legged girt with I short, dark curls—curls that just grew that way naturally. Beatrice saw the deep, quiet, almost purple I eyes, the demure and charming smile, the beautiful body beneath the starched white uniform, and the long lovely hands red from constant use of hot water and usually stained from hair dyes. Beatrice had never seen the girl vexed when appointments overlapped and customers were irate and unreasonable. She had never heard her complain. Seemingly tireless she must, Beatrice had often thought, be tired most of the time to the point of despair. Assuredly Hilde, Constantly beI ing thrastied up and down the J pavement of life, poor, obscure, i solely beset, saw no comparison ' between herself and Mrs. Porter Farish, wife of the well known industrialist who was always getting his picture in the newspaper. The shop, in a long block of stores, was in a busy commercial area. Beatrice parked her car and walked back. This section of town never failed to make her nostalgic. She had been a bride along this street, a poorly dressed girl I carrying a little bag of groceries. ' I see her still, she thought I know her Still. She was so happy saving I pennies on the groceries, so she and Porter could go to a movie > Mi Saturday night She was happy. She felt set apart and blessed. She and Porter were going to do I such wonderful things. They were going to have everything. She didn't ask herself then, "And what will I do when I have everything? What will I be?” Her preferential treatment tn . the shop always embarrassed her.

and she was usually thankful to i be a nonentity under the dryer. Nina, the proprietress, a heavy ' woman with heavy black hair, and hard dark eyes, greeted her. "Oh, good morning, Mrs. Fari iah.” [ “Good morning, Nina.” "It’s a beautiful day, isn't it? That's a stunning suit.” "Thank you.” Usually Hilde quietly intervened. "I'm sorry but Hilde’s not in today,” Nina said. She wagged her head sadly and knowingly as she glanced around to see that all curious alien ears were closed to all noises except that of the whirring dryers. “It’s only because you’ve known Hilde for so long that I can tell you, Mrs. Farish. Tom, that’s Hilde’s husband, his business failed and he's not working, not bringing in a cent He’s lazy, if you ask me. I wouldn't put up with it, working and keeping a I man. She’d be better off without , him. The way she works, and i she’s such a swell kid. I’d divorce i him so quick. Forget him, I said ■ to her. You forget that guy.

Hilde wrote down on > a card just the way she does your . haif." i• • • i At three o’clock that afternoon, 5 after having seen her dentist and r completed a little shopping, Beatrice took her car from a parking 1 lot. It was on the impulse that . she decided to stop at Libby's 1 apartment to see her and to ask if » Jane, Libby’s fifteen - year -old i daughter, would sit with Marianne t tomorrow evening. Though Porter 8 had not mentioned it, a small din--8 ner party at the country club was ; noted in her engagement book: i Daltons and Wests—club—dinner 1 —dress. 1 Though Libby was like Hilde, a - part of the past, Libby reached - back deeper into the tissues of i Beatrice's childhood. For of all the i people she knew only Libby could - see Mrs. Porter Farish as that r awkward, wrongly dressed, nee glected child stepping from the ; train and being met by Clara Prese ton, Libby's mother and Eddie's sister—a handsome woman, an - out-giving woman, with a genere ous mouth that seemed a little >, tired from smiling as if her smile a had been betrayed. Only Libby r knew that the Preston home, that - lovely country house into which g Beatrice was welcomed for her weekends away from school, was f the first real home she had ever J known. Only later did Beatrice d know what a great heart Clara n Preston had for charity, how un- • derprivileged she had thought her, ; and how desperately sorry she had ■1 been for her. Mr. Preston, Libby's i. father, had remained in the backv ground, a distinguished looking ? man who was rarely at home. e And because for the first time e in her life Beatrice had felt the l magic of human warmth in Clara I. Preston, her death had been a o tragedy from which ft had taken e Beatrice a long time to recover, e For Clara had not seemed to die t as other people did. Somehow she ? had simply ceased to exist because she had been unwilling any a longer to hold to life. '. At least. Beatrice thought now.

Mather Appointment Confirmed By Senate Washington, May 7— (UP) — The senate has confirmed the nomination of Rear Adm. Paul L. Mather as war assets administrator. He succeeds Jess Larson who was recently appointed federal works administrator.

Under Advisement Special judge Ed A. Bosse Friday took under advisement a contempt of court citation brought by Myrtle Kahn against her husband, George. In a hearing before the judge, Mrs. Kahn testified her husband, whom she is suing for divorce, had violated a court restraining order. D. Burdette Custer represented the plaintiff, Hubert R. McClenahan the defendant. Divorce Actions In the divorce action of Cecil L. Beam vs Cloice L. Beam, the court Friday issued a restraining order on the defendant. Melverd Ladd, being sued for divorce by his wife, Elizabeth, wffs ordered Friday to pay her $22.50 per week support and $75 for her attorney. Estate Cases The executrix of the estate of Frances Bogner, deceased, Friday filed a report of the sale of property belonging to the estate. The report of the sale of personal property in the estate of Lena S. Gay, deceased, was filed by the administrator Friday.

one of the frustrations of her life. 1 was mitigated when she called on Libby. There was always a space to park around the tall brick apartment building. She noted, as always, the wide sweep of lawn, the profusion of flowers in the triangular flower beds, and the rather forbidding figure of the doorman. Why hadn’t Libby married again, she asked herself as she walked up the driveway? For Libby, after three years of marriage to Dick Gundria, a young surgeon, had divorced him. Beatrice, five years younger and still in school, had gone to their wedding and it had seemed to her then that there was not an ingredient for happiness that Libby and Dick did not possess. Yet they, who were so good for other people, were not' good for each other. Though Dick had married Helen and had other children, he was a devoted and genbrous father to Jane. And since Dick and Libby belonged to the same country club and he went regularly to see Jane, it was inescapable that he and Libby should meet rather often. Beatrice had often pondered those meetings. How could Libby and Dick feel unmarried regardless es the legal severing? What had precipitated the divorce she did not know. She knew everything about Libby, who talked liberally about everything, except why she and Dick had been divorced. In what was an increasingly and alarmingly changing world it was comforting to know what to expect of her old friend, for Libby was intense, spectacularly handsome and unfailingly loyal. Those qualities had made her so fantastically popular that even if she went to a party alone she was ■ never the "odd” woman about whom a hostess had to Worry. At the country club it was not at all uncommon to see Libby tweak the tie of the town’s most unapproachable banker, and to see that the old gentleman loved it She had the most catholic taste in men. Once during the war when she had been going to a party alone she had espied two soldiers on the street Opening the door of her car she had asked merrily, “Want to go to a party, boys?” What the two soldiers had thought of the exquisitely dressed, be-furred, jeweled, dark-haired young womah in the sleek black car was never known. Libby had arrived, however, flanked by two red-faced Gl’s who had said that they had had the time of their lives. Accordingly, it was generally accepted that Libby had not married again because she didn’t want to. It was true that men’s interest in her, at first ardent, soon cooled to a passive attachment i Beatrice had often wondered if Libby’s gaiety were not a sham. Though Libby gave generously in tangibles—she was always sending 1 beautiful gifts to her friends—a part of herself was held aloof, even from Jane. She seemed to , turn away from warm affection. Beatrice wondered if Libby, amusingly cynical, a scoffer of sentiment, did not turn away from the thing she most desired. While granting a large capacity for friendship. Libby denied the existence of love. (to Be Ccatiauerfj

’ Announces Basis Os tRent Adjustments J Rental Properties Divided In Groups Housing expediter John E. Williams today announced the basis on which landlords will be granted rent adjustments under the fair _ net operating income provision of [. the housing and rent act of 194?. For the purpose of this hew ade justment provision, controlled rent- ,. al properties are divided into two I, groups—small structures and large structures. A small structure is defined as one containing from one to four dwelling units. A large structure is one with more than four units. Any landlord operating a small structure can qualify for a rent in- . crease under the new fair net ope- . rating income provision if his net r operating income is less than 25 percent of Ms gross income. He will be granted an increase to r bring his net operating income up r to 30 percent. Any landlord operating a large structure can qualify for qn increase under the new provision if his net operating income is less than 20 percent of his gross income. He will be granted an increase to bring his net operating income up • to 25 percent. Net operating Income from a property is defined in the CHE regulation as the amount of in- ’ come remaining after the payment , of all operating expenses and an 1 allowance for depreciation. Payi ments for interest or amortization of mortgage indebtedness are not included In operating expenses, ■ since they represent charges incident to ac quisitlon of the property dent to acquisition of the property property. Depreciation is entered as an expense in the amount the landlord reported on his latest required federal income tax return with a limitation that the amount shall not exceed 21 percent of the gross income in the case of small structures and 16 percent in the case of large structures. The reason for these percentage limits is that in the income and expense data analyzed to arrive at the figures for a fair net operating income, depreciation averaged 16 percent for large structures and 21 percent for small structures. A tenant must be notified of a 1 proposed rent increase before an increase can be granted hy an area rent office. He has the right to appeal an area rent office decision to the regional and the national office. This is provided for in new procedural regulations issued in compliance with the new act, 1 which gives tenants and landlords equal notification and appeal rights in all adjustment and eviction cases. The same standard used for obtaining individual fair net operating adjustments will also be used henceforth by local rent advisory boards in recommending general rent increases. * o 20 YEARS AGO TODAY j 0 May 7 — County council approves an appropriation request for $14,000 to remodel the court room.

Mrs. Wm. Neadstlne, route 6, Decatur, enjoys textile stenciling. This has become one of the most popular special interest activities of the Adams county home economics association. Clashes in this handicraft have been held at both the '47 and ’4B homemakers retreat and at the handicraft school heM in Reme last fall. Mrs. Neadstftte and Mrs. Holman Wgly served as instructors in these classes. Several sessions for learning textile painting have been arranged for small groups of interested Women—both members and non-members of extension clubs. Hoifiemaking Tips by Anna K. Williams Home Demonstration Agent Defrettirtg a FreHer Defrosting a home freezer is a job different tn many ways from defrosting any automatic refrigerator. Defrost before more than a half inch of frost forms over a considerable area of the refrigerated surfaces. Ordinarily Mice a year is often enough, but in humid surround Ings or it the freezer is frequently opened, the job may heed doing two or three times a year. Defrost, if | possible, when relatively little food is in the freezer. Remove frost unmixed with ice by scraping, with the freezer in operation. If the freezer is not too full, move food packages from one part of the freezer to another as jou work—rather than taking them out. Use special scraping tools for the purpose; or a broad, stiff spatula; a putty knife; or sharp-edged wooden paddle. Catch frost on pap- [ era, cardboard, or cloths as it is scraped from vertical dividers and walls; or collect it from the bottom with dustpan and whiskbroom. If pans and broom are kept cold, frost will not melt .‘from contact with them. If ice is mixed with the frost or a complete cleaning job is needed, remove food .packages and disconnect the freezer. Put the food packages on trays or in baskets that have been well cooled in the
