The old quip, “The man pays." Nearly 30,000 Ford workers in Michigan are voting on whether they approve a second strike this year. The result will probably determine what workers will do in other industrial plants. o o— Indiana University and other colleges in the Rig Nine will charge |5.000 for television rights at ail home football games. That charge sounds a little stiff, but one thing is sure, when the football season rolls around, the fans will be watching the plays over the screen. o o We live in one of the best ag ricultural production areas In the world Our farms are producing wonderful crops this year and on every hand one sees the prospects of new wealth coming from the soil In the way of food, this section of the country does not lack for a thing. o— o The county highway department is asking for transfer and appropriation of unappropriated funds to complete its road repair program for the year. The work of putting the roads in shape and improving the stretches with stone continues dally. Highway maintenance is of principle importance in our county and the department is doing a good Job In that direction, considering that fund* are limited. An excited woman In Toledo, O , thought she was witnessing a kidnapping when she saw two men push two women inside the trunk of an automobile, close the lid and drive off rapidly. She called to her husband to follow them In his car. and she called the sheriff's office. The car was followed to a drive-in theatre, where the men bought two tickets and

New Drug Valuable Aid in Pregnancy

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. AS a rule, pn-gnancy la a per-. fectly normal process. Every row and then, however. pregnan<> has ; its own special hazards. Certain conditions can develop which are t not only threatening at the time ' but which may leave behind them lasting injuries in the form of liver or kidney damage. Fortunately, today we have bet-, ter methods than ever before of safeguarding the expectant mother egainst these dangers Methionine, one of the amino acids. Is proving of- great value in these instances. Amino acids are the substances which the body uses to build up proteins Methionine seems to be of special value in protecting the liver. There are two conditions which may develop duringing pregnancy in which it is of the greatest help. These are toxemia and an Infection of the liver known as infectious hepatitis The methionine may be given in ( the form of tablets dissolved In j tomato Jules, it also may be given by injection into a vein. In cases j of threatened or actual toxemia, methionine is given daily by mouth . as well as by injection. The patient is kept at complete rest in | bod and to fi’en plenty of Quids and injections of whole blood Into a vein if. necessary The diet which to employed to low in salt, with sufficient protein and barbohydrates that to rtrachy foods and .

drove Inside. Then they helped the women out and all four watched the movie. It seems that people never grow up, or lose the desire to outwit the other fellow. o — o No parking signs will be erected on the south side of West Monroe street by the State Highway Commission, in compliance with the city ordinance that permits parking only on the north side of the highly traveled thoroughfare. The ordinance becomes effective after Thursday, but enforcement of the oue-side parking regulation will be withheld until the signs are placed along the curb. o Q City Judge Mario I’leroni of Muncie is a worthy recipient of the citation. "Young Man of the Year,” conferred by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Blind since the age of four. Judge I’leroni did not let the handicap stand in bls way to success. A graduate of the Indiana State School for the Blind. Judge Pieroni continued his education at Ball State College and Notre Dame University, receiving his law degree from the latter institution in 1940. He became an expert typist and is proficient in taking Braille shorthand. This newspaper salutes such a wonderful gentleman and wishes him continued success and happiness. o— —o— — Bigger Ships: The ships of the (treat Lakes, like those of the high seas, are growing bigger and faster and sleeker. The quit ns of the Lukes are not luxurious passenger liners like those of deeper waters, however. but are hard ■ working freighters. They are none the less proud and shining. The biggest ship ever built for service on the Lakes will join the sh-et next spring. She is the Jtulk carrier Wilfred Sykes, launched at lx>raln, O. this summer. She is 678 feet lopg and will carry a pay load of twenty thousand tons of iron ore. a trick few seagoing freighters can match. In Canada they also are b«ing built bigger and better. Two si«ler ships under construction at Collingwood and Midland. Ontario, will be the largest ever turned out in Canada. One. the lloch< laga. has already been launched at Collingwood and the other, the Coverdale, is scheduled for September launching. They will be 3k feet shorter and carry about two thousand tons less than the Wilfred Sykes. Passenger ships on the Great Lakes are few. and becoming fewer. Th» days of the cruise ships there may be almost done, but plenty of workaday freighters are busy each navigation season. If the dream of a St. Lawrence River waterway to the sea is realised, the Lakes may one day carry a big share of the commerce for the great Interior regions of the United States and Canada.

i This type of treatment was carried out in 17 patients and groat benefit was noted in all instances. If infectious hepatitis should de- • velop during pregnancy, it is Imi portant to give the methionine, to--1 gether with a part Os the vitamin B-complex known as choline. In I cases in which this type of treatment was employed, it was found I that no permanent damage to the liver occurred. It was found also that the meth I ionine seemed to be of value in women who were Rh negative. The . Rh factor is a sulmtance in the j blood. Rh negative women who I have an Rh positive husband may develop trouble during pregnancy, and the baby, may be born with a serious condition, known as erythroblastosis In which the red hlood cells In the bahy are destroyed. It , was found that when the methio- . nine was administered to the - Mothers, the children born of these I mothers not only survived but had no enlargement of the liver or spleen. It would seem that the use of ' methionine during pregnancy has : a great deal of value.

Legion Convention Is Closed Tuesday Duhkirk Mon Nomed State Commander Fort Wayne. Ind. Aug 10. (UP) — Veterans of World War I were still in command of the Indiana department of the American Legion today. They retained their prestige by electing a buddy. Homer W. Me Daniel, former mayor of Dunkirk, to be state commander yesterday. Vets of World War IL won the four vice-commander posts in the last business act of the 31st state legion convention before adjournment. McDaniel had such an overwhelming lead after delegates from five of the 11 districts had voted that his opponent. Berry 8. Hurley. Daleville, moved to make his election unanimous. The action was a victory for older members of the legion since McDaniel bad waged a quiet campaign as the "traditional'' candidate. His supporters contended that the 1950 commander should come from upstate in line with a Legion tradition of switching from north to south each year. A three-cornered race for the two northern vlce-co:nmanderships saw Raymond M. Fox. Jr.. Michigan City attorney, and Edward C. Riehls, a mathematics instructor from Griffieth, win out over Harry L. of Warsaw. Unopposed for the southern vicecommander posts were World War II vets Ralph Harrison. French Lick, and Frank Jessup. Winchester. The unanimous choice for National committeeman was Harry E. Fitch. Terra Haute. However William Bower, hanker of Urganaport and World War I veteran, defeated Gary attorney Robert H. Moore for the alternate committeeman spot. Barney W. Breedlove. Indianapolis veterans administration attorney. was elected to his ninth straight term as legion finance officer. He also is a first war veteran. National commander Perry Brown told the 1,600 delegates that new laws to combat communism should be enacted if present laws fail. i “If the present laws are ineffective to fight the Reds let us make new ones that will treat communism as a conspirac y and fight It that way," he said. f The delegates pledged themselves to "work hard” for the election of George N. Craig. Brazil attorney. as National legion commander. If elected, he would be the first World War II veteran picked for the national commandership and become the second Hoosier to head the nation's largest veteran's organization. Paul V. McNutt was elected to the post in 1929.

Cemetery Trustees lend ] Aid To Clean Up Creell

We the undersigned, members O s the board of directors of the < Decatur Cemetery Association. 1 wish to sincerely thank the Decatur Daily Democrat for it's editorial recognition of a terrible con- j dition which exists in the cemeterv, and adjacent properties, because of the using of the open ditch running through the cemetery as a sewer by the city of Decatur. Through tthls ditch flows all the sewage of the south west part of the city - all that part bounded by the Erie railroad on the south, Thirteenth street on the east and Monroe street on the north. This sewatfe is carried through the cemetery and then is emptied into the Heuer ditch which passes under Highway No. 224 and enters the Decatur Golf Club property and course on it’s route to the St Mary’s river. During the summer months the stench from this sewage Is sickening and almost unbearable. For several years past much severe criticism has been leveled at the cemetery board, and Individuals jof the board, for permitting this Ito exist. The board has made repeated appeals to all officials including the state board of health, the city board of health, the city council and the county commissioners for relief from this deplorable condition. Each group has readilly

inent historical adviser. The Lincoln "sea letter” posed Parks a question, because he doesn't know what it's doing in the state department files. His best guess is that the Isaac Howland was damaged or taken by one of the Confederate sea raiders outfitted in Great Britain during the Civil war. and that the letter was sent to the department in connection with a later claim against the British. The letter Is an Imposing document printed in English, French, Spanish and German. Above the signature of Lincoln and secretary of state William H. Seward, It announced that the Issac Howland, master Jeremiah Ludlow, was authorized to "depart and proceed" out of New Bedford, "bound for the
