Man usually does something in the end about things which annoy or Inconveience him. Wonder what will be the outcome of his persistent discontent with the weather? 0 o There Is a difference of opinion and official action in Anderson in regards to gambling. The City Judge contends that raids on gambling establishments are ruining business there, while the higher court and enforcement officials stand for law enforcement. It's a funny slant, but presumably it is typical American to be forand against everything. The Shriner’s national convention Is the biggest gathering ever seen in Chicago, even ou'doing political and Legion meetings. There have been parades, funmaking of all kind and antics only seen when the jolly Shriners get together. President Truman made a flying trip to the convention and addressed the great assembly at Soldiers' Field last evening A number of Decatur men attended the convention and admit that they "wouldn't have missed the fun for love or money.” o o A woman of wide Influence for good left the Indiana stage with the death of Mrs. Harriette K Sparks of Frankfort, a beloved leader in the Indiana Federation of Clubs In paying tribute to her lift's work, the Indianapolis Star, comments: "Besides being a dynamic and skillful club leader who helped to promote the Ideals at world community. Mrs. Sparks was an exemplary member of her own community of Frankfort. She was active in many civic endeavors and was known for the sympathetic assistance she gave youngsters and the needy. She was possessed of unusual grace of character and personality. Hers was a life well lived.” o o— — Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy, who as governor of Michigan was confronted with the first "slndown strikes.” and refused to use state troops In ordering the men out of the plants, is dead He died of a heart attack in a hospital bed in De-

Getting Over on Illness

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. O. i AS a rule. we do not recover all at once from a serious Illness. The toad back to health I* cometimea lone and often tedious, but it can hsually be ahortened by good care Moreover, Obeying the dodtor's* orders at thia time prevents re lapses and insures against permanent damage. Doctors know that the convalescent patient Is often Irritable, lacks interest and has a poor appe . lite, yet good nourishing food dur-’ Ing this time is extremely Impor-' tant so that material may be supplied tor repair of the body tissues The food must be prepared and served in an appetising way. It floes no good to overload the pa lient's plate, because thia may only Serve to lessen his desire for food Bet ween-meal snacks may be valuable in helping to supply the necessary nourishment. The patient must be watched for signs of overtirednesa. such as restlessness and ’oas of interest, yawning. Increased pulse rate. Slight fever, sleeplessness and loea cl appetite. Often the patient may recover more rapidly in new surroundings. If he can be freed from worry and •are. A change of climate may often prove of groat benefit, partirblarly to those who have had a prolonged illness The patient should get bock to his normal activities and duties as soon as possible, including such things as dressing in his usual Clothes and eating his steals with tne family It to also belpiul to get ths patient out hf dodrt M MM as pae-

troit. The jurist was widely known for his administrative ability and actions as state governor and governor general of the Philippines He lived to see the day that his policy of not shooting at the men In the struck plants was better wisdom than to have turned the deplorable condition into a murder melee Murphy was considered a liberal on the Supreme Cottrt, gifted with an unusually keen mind and a spirit of fairness. The coutnry mourns his loss. -—-- — A Step Forward: A progressive step in community life has been taken by the Adams County Commissioners through the adoption of the County Park and Recreation Board, which beginning next January will have direction of the program now carried out by the townships. Originally started with a grant from the McMillen Foundation, the township trustees Inaugurated the program as an experiment and employed Dennis Norman as director of recreational activities. Mr. Norman has proved his ability and resourcefulness In this field of activity. The programs are especially popular with youth and the younger folk in the rural areas. Parents join in Family Night programs, so the whole agenda becomes one of family participation and enjoyment. Adams County is the first to adopt the county board of control. Purdue University is conducting a similar program In Wabash county, but Allen County, where the .McMillen Foundation also made an equal grant, has not yet changed from township to county supervision, as provided by law adopted by the 1947 General Assembly. Coincident, with the meeting of the commissioners as they deliberated on the petition signed by nearly 50# freeholders, L H. Weir, field secretary of the National Recreation Association, visited here. Speaking to the commissioners, he remarked. "This Is a great step forward in helping bring about an ideal for a better and stronger community. More leisure hours are given the people and with programs that interest all the family, good results are obtained in the effort to avoid delinquency You are to be congratulated on your progressive step " The County Board will be comprised of five members. By virtue of their office, the law stipulates that the County Superintendent of Schools and the County Agricultural Ajtent shall be members. From each of the three commissioner's districts one person will be named by the Individual commissioner.

sible when the weather permits. Visitors Welcome As a rule, visitors to the con'valesifnt patient ate welcome. However anyone with a cold, sore throat or other infection should Im* kept away, and visitors should not prolong their stay until the patient 'ls tired. Furthermore, they should i be thoughtful in their conversation , and should be cautioned against discussing illnesses and morbid ’ subjects. Os course, good nursing care proI rides a great deal of comfort. A proper chair should be selected for him. pillows should be arranged I comfortably, and the bed-clothing should be warm and not too heavy. The patient must be watched closely so that if any symptoms develop which indicate a recurrence of illness they may be promptly detected and reported to the physician. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS Z H.: Will you please tell me i something about Bell s palsy? Answer: Bell's palsy is due to , some injury to the facial nerve, such as might take place as a result of infection or a tumor pressing on it. Exposure to cold, which causes neuritis of the nerve, may be re- ’ sponsible. In such cases, all the muscles of the face on one side are . paralysed. The eye cannot be < lowed nor the forehead wrinkled, the i lower lid droops, the eye waters, i and the angle of the mouth to low i ered on the side affected.

CHAPTER TWh-va s -U.NE "GOOD morning, Mr. Cootnes,” Miss Searle responded. "1 came to thank you for the apples. It's quite hke coals to Newcastle —on three sides of me all the apples are mine!" “I know It doesn’t mean any-thing-that little episode was a private scene between Kit and me. You were just the unfortunate bystander who became Involved." ”Oh, I was chastised for losing my temper,” she said with her little well-bred laugh nt the end of the sentence that Marvell found extremely annoying. “And you musn't think, Mr Coomes, that I have been bothered by Kit this summer. She is a charming, thoughtful companion and It has meant a great deal to me to have her visit me." “She’a off in the woods Just now," he said, hop-.ng she wouldn't burst out of the kitchen door the next moment to give the he to that. "And 1 can speak for her when I say how much we appreciate . . . what was he getting himself tn for? ”1 should like so much to have you both for luncheon next Sunday,” she went on serenely, "Kit told me her mother's name and you can imagine how surprised 1 was to know we had meL She came to see us In Dedham." She stopped because he was looking at her so hard. He was thinking how hc‘d like to shake her, shake her hard, till that bird fell off her hat, all the while telling her flatly, to keep away, with her small talk, and her hypocritical hope that he would be the gentleman because he had married a Barlow and bred one.

"Boston Is small," she went on. “Yes," he said, "that's why 1 was never there much. I'm afraid, though, that we shan't be free. Kit and L She'll be going the rounds with me when I'm out making new contacts.” "Oh? Another day, then. Are you going to sell—something?” The idea had come to him on the spur of the moment Now be began to enjoy it "I’ll tell you.” He took her arm and led her around the house. "You know, 1 went down this morning to see about a furnace. Brewster is selling it, but his wife is buying the new one out of her egg money or some such, by mail order. When she saw me making plans to remove the furnace single handed, so to speak, she came down on the price of the old one If I would install the new one. Then Brewster came in. He wa.- pretty sore that his wife had driven a bargain without him, and in my favor at that, until he heard about the deal. He calculated one thing and another and said: 'Engineer, eh? Did you build the Brooklyn Bridge V ” 'Lord, no,' 1 said. 1 sold that My big job was heating and ventilating the Chicago Stock Yards.' ” Miss Searle smiled faintly. '•Well, the upshot of it was that Brewster suggested that he start me out tn business. 'You re just what we need here,' he told tn; j *We've had no one here tor we* trouble or fixing furnaces for a year or so. Have to send all the way to Worcester new. If it's an emergency, there's just Henry Thompson who don't know nothing. ' “You mean you are going to be a plumber?” “Yea siree. Now in a big house like yours . . "Were you an engineer, Mr Coomes?" “Why, sure, foe yean I was the mainstay of Barlow and Abbot, ever hear of them?” She wrinkled her forehead and then said in some sui prise. "You mean Proctor Barlow . . . ?" "A bad engineer. He mheriUd /**>•»¥*

as a plumber behind him. That doesn't make for much gumption. No easy inheritance does." She flushed as if he had slapped her. Well, that scotches her hopes for our social intercourse, he thought She turned away, murmuring some perfunctory phrase of good will for his plana He wanted to ery out to her. "It’s only that nothing must come between Kit trd me and the kind of life I've planned—we’ve got to stand on our own and we've got to be free!" But that would mean telling everything, even the gnawing resentment he felt because ne had been driven out of his hard-won place, driven here to the most piddling life he had ever known. When she had ridden around the bend of the lane, he returned to his chopping. It was no use, he would never get out. So much work that was not his kind to be done—a bit of wood here, a field there, the shed half converted. And none of It good enough. He would never get through even with help. He was always st his best In a beginning, and that was months behind him. He hated the restraint of persistence, of development He wanted perfection Immediately. He would have given everything—anything—for a drink. He started for the house. He had not told the truth to Miss Searle. The fact was that Brewster had only asked for help with a furnace. Well, why not become this plumber fellow he'd boasted so much about ? She's pushed me into IL And he went on the run to call Brewster.

Soon, they were well known throughout the smell radius of Colcord and neighboring towns— Coomes and his laughter in their shiny, squesky car. He drove down to the store two or three times a week, always taking Kit and always staying a half hour or so after his purchases were stored away, to talk with the other customers. He was at home there, an easy talker, with quick dramatic gestures. He soon had more than a speaking acquaintance with the old families—the Coates. Ellsworth's. Greenes, Haskells. Turners—names that were well marked among the dead on the then headstones in the cemUry as well as on the tin mail boxes of the living. He made it known he was an engineer returning to his old work of plumbing, the trade that nad given him his start, and that he could add architecture and carpentry on a small scale to his contracts. At the auctions. he always managed to make a new face remember him. and he placed an ad in The Clarion. The notice, neatly spaced and blocked off with heavy black lines read: "kt Coomes, Contractor and Plumber. Old Colcord Road. Tel: Colcord 100.”

Manell s first Job was for the Staneweakis. who lived on the rim of the town. The Job was quite a plum—the installation of a bathroom. and in his enthuaiaam for his first contract, he threw in more than it called for-not only the pipes and fittings and labor, but a few minor architectural suggestlona. He sat on a high stool tn front of the drafting table tn hta workshop and worked out the blueprint and estimatea tn the' evening. He got his supplies through Brewster and he knew he was paying a little more than he ought, but he scratched it off a mythical expense account. Even with the extras he contributed, the size of the estimate worried him, but Staneweskl. a dark, wiry Poise k. agreed readily and paid half cash la advance. On his way over the first morning, he had to stop by at the store to pick up the helper Brewster had found for him. He was a thin ‘jf'Z/djLworgthanjixteen He

looked both worried and excited as he stood waiting, in stiff ne# overalls, clutching a Boston bag. “i-i-i-m Henry!” be got out wildly.

“Good enough. Come right along.” He eyed the bag. “What's that? Your lunch?" “N-n-no. Tools." Marvell didn't laugh as he put out his hand to take the bag, but its weight almost overbalanced him. "You come prepared all right No old saws about the plumbing trade for you!” Henry did not reply. His painful stammer and ths terrible importance of his first mission kept him as shut as a clam. Marvell went on talking amiably, remembering the reassurance of a human voice the time he had started out on his first job down tn Castine. It had been a shimmery summer morning like this one with more salt In the blue air and he had carried a lunch, put up by his mother, about as heavy as Henry's tool kiL All he hod done thst first morning was to hold a lantern at a back breaking angle—and handed round his luncn to the master plumber and a couple of kids who had come to watch. Now he was that boy again, aa well as Henry, as well as an experienced jack • of- all - trades and highly successful father. “1 have Intimations of Immortality,” he told Henry, who didn't relax for a moment He kept his eyes hard on the road and pressed his bony knees harder around the bag. |

There was the house, substantial and weather beaten, with several unpainted ells and sheds tacked on to it crazy fashion. There was the dusty road running in front of ft and the sloping apple orchards walling it tn to a hot hollow. As he idled over tying up the horse, Marvell wondered, as he always did when he got on these back roads, why people were so careless in choosing a place to build. Henry was breathing heavily in a fever of impatience to begin work, so Marvell nodded at him in a conspirator’s fashion, and knocked loudly on the door. It was only a moment before it was opened, and Mra Staneweskl peered out. Marvell stepped back in surprise. The woman before him. half hidden by the door and halt clad in a loose sort of wrapper was the most magnificent thing he had ever set eyes on. She was btg and white, her immense blue eyes rather vacant of expression. But nothing could mar the perfection of her neck and arms and the long red-gold hair that hung around her face, she hissed m that doorway till Marvell felt uncomfortably hot. "You're the plumber. Coomes?” Her nasal voice made him wince. He made some answer while he concentrated on the white of her neck and felt a sharp desire to bite it “Wen, come on in and see what the damage'U be.” They went through a* musty, disorderly room Into a damp hallway and climbed a flight of steep stairs where great orange ntalnu on the wall indicated Hie leaks of last spring's thawing. •TC’cy Pdescd through a bedroom, the bed unmade and rumpled.

No one knows where this dreaded disease will strike next and without warning, so why invite trouble? Parents, heed a word of warning from one who has seen polio in its worst stages. If your Tom. John. Ann or Jane says they have a headache, don't give them an aspirin. Cail your family doctor. He alone can recognize the symptoms, and may prevent your child from becoming the hopeless cripple that the dreaded polio can make them. As citizens of Decatur, let us all cooperate with our local board

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO MARVELL called down to Henry who leaped into action at the word go. Mra Staneweskl yawned languidly. "You'll do a good job, won't you?” "We re using copper pipes.” he assured her. "Last you a lifetime." "1 don't care what's underneath. It’s what shows" He was assuring her that the porcelain fittings would be the whitest thing she's ever seen, except yourself, he thought, when Henry came in. He ran his eyes over the passageway and stammered out, "Where do we dig?” The exotic bloom of the lady waa wholly loot on him. At noon Marvell and Henry took their lunch to the shade of one of the apple trees near the house. Henry had eaten his cheese sandwiches fast and silently, and then stretched out tor a nap, pulling a large cotton handkerchief over his face. Whether this was for protection or for what he believed was a laboring convention. Marvell did not know. He admired Henry's style tn the matter. From the house came the high, thin bawl of Mra Staneweskl. "You want cawfee? Wo have some left” He went over to the kitchen window that waa open and leaning on the sill said politely, "If it is no trouble." Then he saw the rest of the family. Two pale blonde heads cropped up between Mrs. Staneweskl and her dark, silent husband. "Pete, carry it out” Two heads wobbled higher tn new and Mra Staneweskl handed the children a steaming cup which they bore out of the front door. It was the boy who handed him the thick white cup. The little girl stood close behind him like a shadow. They must be about Kit's age, Marvell thought He took the cup and thanked them gravely. Their almost colorless eyes never moved from him ao that instead of carrying the coffee to the shade of the tree he stood rooted there before them and drank the contents hastily and seif-cotueiously. How pink they were, he thought. The tanmsh pink of the young biren saplings in the spring that grew fawnlike in between the trunks of the parent birches in the lanes. "What are your names?” he asked as he handeu back the cup. "Peter and Audrey." It was hard to tell which of them had spoken. Were they twins, he wondered? Their pale flesh was so Identical even to the way it blended off the forehead into their ashen, springy tatt. "1 hsve a daughter about your age. She'd hke to play with you. 1 think. May 1 bring her over tomorrow ?" Again the reedy voice-or was ft voices— "We'll have to ask Ma " They disappeared into the house like two pale candle flames blown out They arranged it with Ma. apparently. lof i.ter on their heads peered tn at him and Henry.

But it did come out even, she found, for Peter and Audrey were practically one person. They were waiting on the front steps of their house the next morning when Marvell drove up. Even Henry had a spark of Interest tn their meeting. Kit Jumped down and walked up to them. "Hello," she said determinedly. "I'm Katherine Coomes. ” "Hello,” and the faint unity of their high voices struck Kit as it had MarvelL Mra Staneweskl In a bright green and orange wrapper leaned out of the window. "You can play outside all morning till eleven, when I’ll have some cake for you." She withdrew her bright head, leaving Kit to blink away the orange dots that had come before her eyes just as they did when she looked at the sun too long. “Is that... ?" "Ma," they replied briefly. Then a dark head appeared at the window. "Will you kjds feed the chickens first?” It was a shy, low voice so unlike Mra Staneweski's blare or the twin's tremulo that Marvell looked up at the sound of it. “AU right,” whined Peter and Audrey. Kit nudged Peter and hissed. "Who's she?” "Poldi," said Peter. "Our sister," Audrey hissed back. She came out the side door with • chipped enamel pan of scraps. "Don’t forget to pick up the eggs this time, you twa” She scolded, tut her eyes and mouth annled The «dress she wore, soiled and faded, covered a childish figure.
