DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday By THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO. Incorporated Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller President A. R. Holthouse Editor C. E. Holthouse Treasurer J. H. Heller Vice-President Subscription Rates By Mail in Adams and Adjoining Counties: One year, $6; Six months, $3.25; 3 months, $1.75.

Somebody is always telling the world to balance the budget, but somehow or other nobody seems to put it over. —o —o — Now that cold weather is over, lucky is the family which can arrange to have an occasional meal outdoors. As the weather gets warmer, Washington begins to show signs of frayed tempers. Or is it just that the sound of battle carries further with the windows open? —o —o — Here’s something different. News of romance is coming out of Russia. Premier Stalin's son is reported wooing Miss Molotov, daughter of vicepremier V. M. Molotov and a London newspaper claims they will be married. Maybe life over there goes on the same as around here. —o o The State Welfare Department classified 24 Indiana jails as poor lodging houses, stating that their “facilities for health and sanitation are entirely inadequate.” The Adams county jail is not one of these condemned bastiles, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if communities could be run without lockups, or the need for such places. — o — o Use your city parks this week. With the Memorial Day holiday in the offing, vacation time arrives and for those who love the outdoors, the parks provide recreation spots. The city offers a variety in parks, all the way from rustic Hanna-Nuttman to Legion Memorial park with its walks and well groomed lawns. Enjoy them while you can. —o —o — Th'4 Chain O' Lakes park in Noble county may never be constructed, suit having been filed in Allen county to enjoin county officials from turning over tax funds raised to finance the 2,275 • acre lake. Other counties connected with the project have not raised their share toward land purchase and the plan to give Northern Indiana another big’ lake may fall through. Indiana's population is growing at a rate that will require more recreation facilities and the Chain O' Lakes proposal seemed to answer this future need for Hoosier families. *

An Unpleasant Foot Disorder

By Herman N. Bundeaen, M. D. CONTRARY to popular opinion, by no means is every case of foot trouble due to ringworm infection. In many instances, inflammation of the feet is due to excessive sweating, often of the entire foot. Just as in ringworm infection, the skin is macerated; that is, soft and broken. Frequently there are redness and swelling of the toes, with peeling of the skin between the toes and around the nails. With this type of inflammation, however, there is burning and pain, rather than the Intense itching which usually goes along with ringworm of the feet. How frequently such a condition may be due to excessive sweating is shown by a recent study of more than 200 patients. Among these only about one-third showed any evidence of ringworm In a large, number of these patients, areas of white, soggy skin, surrounded by a violet-red bonier, were noted. These areas were sensitive to the touch They were located most often on the 1 sole of the heel and on the top of the foot just behind the toes. In fact, they developed in any area where the shoe made pressure on the foot, it Is thought that these areas devolop because of excessive swatiaf. together with pressure, and rubbing ot U»« akin. I

A new congressional district may be set up in Indiana next year, due to the increase in population. It probably will be built around the Indianapolis area, where at present 500,000 persons live, compared to 241,000 in the Ninth district in southeast Indiana. Interest will center around the redistricting of the area, which if established will mean the election of a twelfth representative to congress from Hoosierland. o o There is a theory that the earth is getting hotter, with a self-feeding furnace in its core which will eventually reach the surface and destroy all life. This was the cheery theory of the late Dr. Bailey Willis, a geologist and authority on earthquakes who taught for many years at Stanford University. However, this dismal forecast need not worry anyone at present. Prof. Willis thought that the worst would not, happen for another two billion years. By that time it may prove feasible to migrate to another planet. —o —o — Speaker Sam Rayburn and Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg have received the annual Collier’s congressional awards for distinguished service to the nation during 1948. Each received a plaque and a SIO,OOO check to be turned over to a public use chosen by the winner. Speaker Rayburn will use the award money to start a public library is his home town of Bonham, Tex., for. the benefit of residents of the town and county. Senator Vandenberg will turn his award check over to the Grand Rapids church of which his mother was I a member for 49 years. The political achievements of these two men will long be remembered. ' So also will be the work accomp- | lished by their two prize checks. , I —o —o —- China's Future Many ouside observers who know China and its history have failed to be greatly disturbed by ; the fact that the Communists ap- , pear to be overrunning the land. ! The chief cause of their unruffled optimism is to be found in the past experience of China. Tartars, Mongols and Manchus I conquered all China in their day, | or thought thSt they had done so. But as time wore on they merged with the subject population, and eventually ceased to exist as distinguished peoples except in small, isolated tribes. The Communists arose in the south, fled to the north to gather strength and numbers, and then swept down to take the northern plains, cross the Yangtze and surge southward, all within a generation. They may seem to be a new race of people, destined to conquer and govern China. But like the other, they may lose their identity after a time, becoming no more than a bit of leaven in the great loaf that is China.

. | In treating these patients, foot , baths containing a solution of alum t were employed. This brought about . I improvement in about half the f I cases. • I A number of patients were treati ed with a solution of formaldehyde. ,' This gave the most prompt relief t 'and seemed to bring at least tempo- > rary benefit in cases of sweating. , It the skin had been rubbed off i in certain areas, these parts were i covered with a tannic acid oint- . ment. A powder made up of alum • and talc was also employed. One • ■ containing paraformaldehyde iw ' tale gave excellent results. Os ' course, such treatment must be i 1 carefully carried out by the doctor, because of the danger of irritation | produced by the preparations employed. Excessive sweating of the feet ,is not an uncommon disorder. It should be promptly treated to prevent damage to the skin. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. H.: What is wheatgerm oil ' vitamin E therapy used for? Answer: Vitamin E seems to have some effect in disorders as fecting the muscles. It has also been employed In the treatment of sterility, and to prevent the pre mature birth of a baby. However. . its exact benefits have not as yet , been determined 1

I C’APTER SEVENTEEN 1 GNE DA SI soon after Libby re- I ’turned from what was to have : been a week in New York, but I 'which stretched into two and a < half weeks, they met for lunch. I Invariably they met in the same ' ' restaurant—a quiet, exclusive ' 'place little patronized by frantic, ; [hurried shoppers. I ■ Beatrice arrived first, and presently she saw Libby enter—Libby i luxuriously coated tn beaver and with a band of the same fur across (the center part of her sleek dark i hair. Indeed so colorful was she ( that everyone stopped to look at i ,hcr, and Beatrice felt drab by : comparison. i "Oh, Bee, I had the most marvelous time tn New York," she * cried aS' she sat down and slipped her arms out of her coaL "Not i for years have I had such a mar- ; vclous time. Some place to go every night, to the theatre, to dance, to someone’d apartment David knows the most interesting people. At one party he spoke three languages." She laughed ; huskily. "1 felt like a country girl in that cosmopolitan group. And of course 1 had to buy just gobs and gobs of new clothes to keep up with it all 1 may not be re.membered tor my conversation. ■ but 1 assure you that no one will ' ever forget my hats.” | When the waitress had come and gone away with their order ’ Libby sahj, “But David is just the . same wherever he is. Bee . . . de- , tached, amusing, and amused. He's a fine man. He makes me think ,of Kipling’s IF*." She laughed . again. “Pardon my frenzy, darling, 'but the stimulant of those two ' weeks hasn't quite worn off in my conventional surroundings, and, of course, 1 wouldn’t be caught dead here tn any of the hats I wore there." “Did you see my mother?" Beatrice asked. "Twice," Libby said. "And she's .still one of the most decorative women I've ever known. We went to the theatre to a matinee, and then to her apartmenL There were people there, and David came for me and met her. He was delighted with Cecily, and she sparkled for him the way she always does with any new and attractive man. She sent her love to you and Porter and Marianne, and said to tell you it she forgets to write that she's spending Christmas in Florida." Her eyes that Beatrice had been thinking had the cold brilliance of stars gathered warmth. “It was grand of you to have Jane with you so much while 1 was away. Thanks, ! Bee." Beatrice looked at her seriously. "Libby, we must all stop thinking of Jane as a little girl like Marianne." Libby’s warmth suddenly chilled. “What do you mean?" “1 mean there's an awakening mind you can’t ignore." She leaned doser. “Jane is growing up. The things that have satisfied her tn the past, her music, her drawing, her bike, are not going to continue to meet her needs." i Libby smiled again. “But she Is still a little girl in spite of what you say. She's still only a baby. 1 want to keep her that way as long as I can. Jane's so Innocent, so unspoiled, so sweet. 1 don t want her to be hurt* "But we can't keep our children f-wa {King AuL Life Ax'fe Uita.

If you protect them too much, 1 they are less able to protect them- I selves. They have no armor. They ■ have to learn to depend upon their i own resources." i There was scorn In Libby's voice I when she said, drawing back, "Jane has everything she wants, : Bee. Haven't I given her everything?" I Beatrice said, "Give her a party i at Christmas. Have it at my i house. Have girls and boys and music. Let her buy herself her first long dress. Let her have a wave in her hair, and use lipstick." "She’s too young," Libby said ; trying hard to conceal her scorn. “What you're suggesting Is sheer nonsense. She has plenty of time before she's . . . she's pushed around by her emotions. I know you mean well, and that you love her dearly, but I'd like to keep her the way she Is. 1... 1 don't want her to be tike me." 1 "Like you, Libby?" “Yea Yea Like ma There's a lot wrong with me and the way 1 feel about men." “David, too?" Libby clasped and unclasped her jeweled handa “Oh, 1 don’t know. I don’t want to know. I can't face IL" She shrugged. "I'm Just having a good time, and wearing beautiful clothea and living!" Whom are you fooling ? Beatrice thought No one can live for herself alona Not for long can anyone endure an orgy ot the ego. Can't you see rebellion In Jane's rigid little back? Are you letting David know the best of you? If you want him, let him touch the bottom of your heart David will have no warmed-over kind ot love. Libby’a eyes moved searchingly over Beatrice's taca “Never let It be said that I took myself seriously. Who started this anyway? You did. Come on. Let's get out of here Why don't you go up to New York for a tew days? No wife is as indispensable as she thinks she is. It’s amazing how well men get along without their wives, and how much tun they have Let's have fun this afternoon, Bee. Let's buy things just for the fun of it" An orgy of the ego, Beatrice thought again. The sad truth broke upon her own deadened life that in all the years she had known Libby she had never felt so far away from her or liked her so little. I• • • Late one afternoon in December, Mrs. Ramey telephoned and asked i Beatrice if she would drive across , town and pick up her reading glasses that had been left for repairs. Though inwardly Beatrice recoiled at the command in the old woman's voice and her total disregard tor the weather—it was snowing and windy and the streets were slippery—she nevertheless acquiesced. Marianne wanted to go, I and ceased to protest only when : Beatrice said she might take her i sled to the hill in the rear ot the , house. s After an interminable time tn the creeping, intrepid traffic, she i at last reached the store that was : only two stores away from the little shop where Hilde worked, i Though she had seen Hilde every , two weeks, she had seen her only in the snop where frankness would have been imprudent. i , With Mrs. Ramey's glasses in .

Delphi Man Killed In Auto Accident i Delphi, Ind., May 25 - (UP) - Authorities said today that Donald Vianco, 34, was killed in an automobile accident more than 12 hours before his body was found on the bank of a flood-swollen stream near here. • A motorcyclist who took cover beneath a bridge over the creek during a rainstorm found the body.

the street again. The wind stung her face, and the swirling snow was almost blinding. Even the neon signs winked feebly in tne darkness. People with beads bowed hugged the buildings as they walked. Those waiting for the bus shivered on the corner. Beatrice saw Hilde among the latter. Herself eager to be home, she probably would not have gled out Hilde, had the girl looked as the others did with their chins in their collars, their bodies in motion. Hilde simply stood there in her thin shabby coat, her feet in open-toed shoes unprotected, the snow upon her face and hair. Her weary face seemed to say, “1 can take this, too, tor this is nothing. This is . only cold and snow and wind. This is only winter. -It touches my body and that suffers, but my spirit is impervious." Beatrice stepped from the curb and went toward her, seeing that though Hilde was obviously looking at her, she was not really seeing her. When Beatrice touched her arm, she felt the shivering flesh beneath the thin coat. “Oh, Mrs. Farish!" "My car is just around the corner. I’ll take you home, Hilde." The girl spoke from lips purple from cold. “No. Thank you so much, but Pm ... I'm not going home." “Then I'll take you where you are going. Please let me. There's a heater in the car and a robe. 1 have plenty of time." Hilde smiled at her, and they walked away together. When they were in the car, she placed the robe over the girl’s legs and turned on the heater. Hilde stopped shivering and closed hereyes. Beatrice did not start the car. Give her warmth a attic while, she thought. Warmth and comfort 1 can give her, but not peace and cheer. She has them already. That wonderful inner peace ot hers that 1 wish I could understand, that attracts me powerfully, that 1 envy so much. Hilde said nothing, and Beatrice didn't interrupt the silence. There was nothing to say while the traffic moved noisily about them, the headlights glared, and the wind rattled the doors, and snow stuck to the windshield. Then Hilde turned to her and 1 smiled radiantly. "It Is so warm in here and so cold out there. I am not going home because 1 am going to work." "You just left work," Beatrice , said. I "Ah, yes. But I have a Job at i night, too. I'm a waitress in a resI Uurant. I had to do it tor Tommy's Christmas Could 1 have him I stop believing In Santa Claus? I Tom cooks Tommy's dinner and ' bathes him and puts him to bed." i "Your husband still Isn’t worki ing?" “He did have a Job, but there . was a strike. And now he's looki ing again. There are jobs he could r do, but I don't want turn to do i work that be hates with tus soul. Maybe you don’t understand," she i said slowly. "We are fioor and we i have many debts, but a man is i wMI he IMnks M U and I don't i want Tom to stop thinking that . be is a’craftsman.

Injuries Fatal To Richmond Minister Dunkirk, N. Y„ May 23—(UP)— Funeral rites will be held at Pittsburgh, Pa., Tuesday, for Dr. Herman T. Reinecke, 57, pastor of the Richmond, Ind., First Presbyterian church. Reinecke died here yesterday of automobile accident injuries. Reinecke was injured in a collision with a truck in which another Presbyterian minister, Dr. Howard Talbot, Youngstown, 0., was killed last Thursday. The two were returning from a national church assembly at Buffalo, N. Y. ED JABERG TO HEAD (Coat. From Page One) and will be held at Lincoln school. One of the most interesting re ports was the one given by a committee composed of Thurman Drew, Earl Fuhrman, Leo Kirsch and the Rev. E. E. Isenhower, which was named to investigate the advisability of Decatur churches aiding in the construction here of an Assem- 1 bly of God church. This is on orga-, nization of people of Mexican origin and the local members have been meeting for more than a year in the basement of the First Christian church. One of the phases of the investigation followed a statement by some people that there might be a feeling of segregation if a Mexican church was established here. The Mexicans themselves, however, prefer their own church according to the report, it was pointed out that it is not a move 'toward segregation, but rather the establishment of a new denomination. It further was exifiained that many of the older people in Adams and other nearby counties of Mexican orgin cannot understand sufficient English to attend the already established churches. The association highly commended the committee for its work and pledged to give it solid support. The association also voted to ask all churches in Adams county to set aside a Sunday in the near fu BEFORE YOUR CAR Ou&ikeald, is the time to We clean the Radiator and Water Jackets of the Block in leu than thirty minute).
