Regardless of the polio situation, the president of the Indiana State Fair, reiterates that the State Fair will open Sept. 1. Rumors to the contrary, the fair executive announces, "The fair is not cancelled and will not be cancelled." Many may not attend the fair due to local health conditions, but as a whole the attendance is expected to be about average. The Senate has approved the appointments of Tom Clark as an associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and Senator Howard McGrath as attorney general, succeeding Mr. Clark. Eight senators voted against Clark, but Indiana's two solons voted with the majority. Mr Clark is a trained and experienced lawyer and his friends claim that he will become one of the outstanding court justices. As for Mr. McGrath, there isn't a finer mind in Washington. —o The cellulose-base soundproof ing materials used to cover walls in public buildings and other places, has a hidden fire-hazard, the fire marshals office has learned.

Adults Require as Much Calcium as Children

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. FEW things have changed more in the past tew years than our idea* as to how much of this or that food element is needed by the average person This is due to the fart that modern research ha* enabled us to test the body’* need* rather than guess at them. Our changing ideas about what <(institute* an adequate supply of calcium in a <ase in point. Little of this jmifstani e is needed for the body's vital procv*sse«. Since bones and teeth, Which are largely made • up of calcium salts, ar* fully formed in the adults, it formerly supposed that grown up* had little need for <:al< iutn-containing food* Today, however, we realize our mistake. Adult* need calcium in . far greater amounts than those formerly considered ample There are three reasons for this. First, there is a constant loss of calcium from the body Though the amount lost varies greatly from person to person. it is always sufficiently great to cause calcium to be drained front the bone* unless it is replaced via the dietary route. Extra Calcium Secondly, any estra cahtum is stored in the bones. This acts as a reserve in ease* of emergency, such as the repair of a broken bone or the increased demand* for calcium In women during the childbearing time or for breast feeding If the calcium to not present in these canes, it la pa 1 led out of the tones and in severe cases there juay be a soitealng ot the hope* called pnteo’aala’ia On the other 0

M The city of Indianapolis is sacEr ed with a 28 cent boost in ita city Vtax rate for 1950. based on a *l7 » million budget. Proposed rates which affect capital city taxpay- ! era total *4.76 on each *IVV of taxables, the highest levy ever • proposed. Most communities are having their problems when it comes to obtaining funds for governmental services, welfare benefits, operation of schools and maintenance of public institutions. If property taxes climb too high, other means of raising money may be necessary, a general sales tax being the only avenue left open at present. And there is a lot of objection to that method of acquiring revenue. Without doubt, Governor Schricker is one of the most popular men ever to bold public office and an Indianapolis newspaper wonders why the chief executive is attending so many fairs and 4-H club shows this year. The daily has a suspicion that Mr. Schricker might be grooming himself for the senatorial race next year. Maybe. If the famed Hoosier is a candidate tor that office, the voters will elect him. But, chancre are the Man in the W hite Hat likes the old fashioned fairs and goes out of his way just to please those who want the governor of the state to attend their show. Mr. Schricker is a typical iiouirier with so much home-spun common sense that his popularity Increases with his years. o o Reorganization Plan: Although It may be an omen of things to come, the Senate veto of the first presidential proposal for government reform is not in itself a major defeat for the cause of government reorganization. The plan involved so many other controversial subjects that it would be hard to determine just what was defeated. There is cause for regret in the fact that the first important proposal under the new reorganization powers was presented in such form and covering such controversial ground. in taking its action the Senate has shouldered a responsibility. Since it has rejected the President's reorganization plan in this panic•'field, it is plainly the duty of the Senate to come forth with a reorganization pjan of Its own Needless to say some of the senators who voted against the plan will find this new responsibility an onerous one. It certainly will be forgotten if the citizens permit. It behooves every citizen interested in good government to remind bis senators, not just once but periodically until action is ac-i-implished. that Congress has work to do in connection with the Hoover report on government reorganization

hand, the amount of calcium in the diet can bo doubled without causing any difficulty, such as abnormal bone formation in the soft tissue. The third reason for increased calcium intake is the fact that all of the calcium In food* <annqt be utilized Some of It is excreted or lost. It would seem, in fact, that cnly about l/< to *4 of the calcium taken in can actually be used. it is generally agreed that a child should have aliout one gram of calcium a day supplied In the various foods, and that the adult should have about this same amount. The best sources of calcium in the diet are milk, and dairy prod uc’s. Some is also supplied by vegetables. but the amount obtained from these sources does not approach that which is obtained from milk and dairy products. Hence. it is important for grownup and child alike that these foods be included In the diet each day. QUESTION* AND ANSWER* ME: 1 have pain* over my heart on the left side Will you please tell me what could cause this? Answer: Pain over the heart, as a rule, is not due to heart disease itself but to conditions elsewhere in the body In many cases it is due to digestive or nervous disorders. You should have a thorough study made by your physician, including an X-ray of the heart and an electrocardiogram to aid in determialsg whether or not th* heart is abnormal

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN THERE was a rustle behind the swinging door that led to the kitchen. Mra Crane poked her bead in. "Mr. Coomea, you want supper now—just the same 7** She must have heard it all, Marvell thought It doesn't matter. He picked up the glass and the bottle. "one for me. Call Miss Kit when it's ready." He groped his way in the half-dark to the living room. It doesn't matter, he kept repeating, don't let it matter. He lit the lamp, sjid the geraniums on the window sill leaped into color. He poured himself a drink and sat down heavily in a rocking chair. The room with its tidies, its plants and white curtained windows was comforting. He raised his glass and set it down without drinking. The smell gagged him. He rocked in silence. Here was a room to which he was almost a stranger. Why, then, did it make him feel so much at hornet The pattern was familiar. Then he remembered—it was like his mother’s house in Castine. That was where he had first seen pink geraniums and dotted muslin curtains. We should have gone down there, he thought, nothing could have happened to us there. He tried to recall when his mother had died. A couple of years after Kit had been bom, perhaps. It seemed a long, long time ago. Elizabeth and he had gone down for two daya His mother had liked Elizabeth. That was one way he had pleased her. He was trying hard to shut out the sound of Kit's words. They couldn't touch him if be didn't remember. "I've known three women," he spoke softly, "glorious women, all of them. Jane, Elizabeth, Katherine. And they all had to stand up to me in their own way." There was Nedda, he thought, she stood up to me, toa But I did right by sending her away. She'd never come back now—because she was selling everything. Even the house. The orchards to Furse. And he had written her on Furse's behalf! 'The raw spot opened again. Weil, hj had lost, that was aIL He knew that now. He could not sway KIL It was not rebelliousness in her, that he could have fought. It was a belief tn herself, a loyalty, he had never experienced. "I've got to go In and face ,her tn a moment, I can't foae her, ,no matter what else. But I don't know what to say, how to begin .. ." He closed his eyes and drew a long breath. If only be could get away from the noise—the big tick of the dock, the heavy beat of his heart, the unexpected ringing of the telephone. Then he heard Kit calling him. "Marvell, Unde Ben is on the phone from Boston.

Kit bad built up the fire in'the study. She had drawn up a table and set two supper trays. The pungent smell of strong coffee filled the room. She walked around the trunk, which dwarfed the room much as the heaviness in her heart made her feel little and mean. When Marvell came In, he asked. "Did you speak with Ben?" "No, Mrs. Crane said be wanted you." | "Proctor died yesterday. H e wanted to ten me the funeral is tomorow. "Oh, lam sorry!" There was no picture of Unde Proctor in her mind. AH she could see was Aunt Emily, soft and pink-faced, in a long black dress. But even that faint outline was erased when she looked at Marvell. Ho looked so 'subdued, so tamed. "So we’re going to have supper hers together. That's good—it’s friendlier," There wee an afroio-

getlc note In bls voice, as U ne were almost ashamed to speak, that reminded her painfully of the Christmas party when he bad opened the empty red box. If only he'd never been hurt, she thought, if only I’d never bad to hurt him! "Before Ben called," said Marveil, making a pretense of eating. "1 was rummaging around the past But I wasn't thinking of Proctor. He always seemed very present to me. 1 was tainklng, Kit, about Castine. You remember we went down there once and saw the outside of the house, at any rate. And about my mother. You'd have liked her, 1 think. You've got some of her looks. But maybe that's just because I like to think we are all part of one another." "But we are!" cried Kit eagerly. "Well, she wanted me to be a minister. I don't know as I ever told you about that She started me out as a shaver, learning those fifteetn psalms I know, and the Sermon on the Mount She even trudged me up Mars Hi IL Father was against such nonsense, and we didn't have much money, but she never gave in, not even after I’d been apprenticed to old Brown, the plumber after Father died. She'd saved enough to send me to Theological School, somewhere In Maine—hard-shelled Baptist probably. The Bible was the Bible just the same, she said, and she bought me a trunk." For the first time Kit smiled on hers. "Tin," he chuckled, "about as big as a suitcase. And you know what 1 did? 1 took her money and beat it off to Cornell, carrying the trunk by the handle, and spent most of my cash for fare. I wanted to get into the Engineering School. I stayed three weeks, till I had fifty cents and a lot of jobs that promised to pay. but not soon enough, so I walked back."

It will all come back to him, she thought, that’s what happens when someone you’ve known dies. All your life comes back, and that’s easier. "I became a licensed plumber right there in Castine.” "Did your — did grandmother mind much?" "She didn’t say. But she kept right after me to save enough to get up to Boston and into a drafting office, ©nee she liad seen what I had to do. she matte me do the most with it. I’d have made a terrible minister, but I learned a lot of the Bible and it’s come in handy. Once I even laid down its law to Furse." At the mention ot his name. Kit gave a little sigh. He pushed aside the tray and began to walk up and down the room, still hemmed u> by the trank. “I wouldn’t have done it any other way," he went on, almost in defiance. “Now you’re doing the same thing, and that's the way I want ft. You’ll have to forget what I said first, just as I win." The tight weight on her heart lifted. She flew at him and be looked first at the trunk and then back at her. He beat down and kissed her. "I went through it an again tonight,” ho said. "Golly, it was real, but I can’t quite make it real that Proctor . . ." She knew she had lived more tn bls thoughts with Proctor than be would ever admit. If I could make him talk about it, she thought, like this! "I'm going to that funeral by heaven." be aaid.

He couldn't expect her to understand. "Don't worry. Kit, I’ll come back. Tell you what, you and Furse can meet the six o'clock." "Andrew?" she flushed with pleasure. He wondered how long It would lie before he got used to that name. • • • Marvell arrived at the funeral home early, from it baronial style, he guessed it had been the former residence of a brewer, but the small chapel to which he was directed was simple enough—hung with gray velvet, with no trappings of any kind except a lectern, two large pots of greenery and about two dozen portable chairs. This was probably the one and only occasion, he reflected, when Emily had not given in to Proctor's choice of a suitable room for a reception. At home she had always stumped for her French sitting-room. Proctor for the chilly drawing room on the second floor. In the end, the guests had marched up a flight of stairs and kept on their wraps. There was only a few people in the room. Marvell did not recognize any of them. He hoped he hadn't- wandered into some private corner nt meditation. But as he walked to a rear seat on the center aisle, he caught sight of the gray, flowerless casket at the far end. He was struck with a sharp disappointment It was no longer a symbol, it was already a memorial What had he expected, he asked himself. Nothing. To have waited so long for nothing. He knew all there was of loneliness now. The beginning, the middle and the dry, empty course to the end.

As the room began to fill up, he saw Abbot, who hat grown heavier. Like most of the others, who were either friends or associates, he looked depressed, resigned to the contemporarily of death. 1 bope Proctor's with a livelier crowd by now, Marvell thought. He discreetly craned his neck to pick out Emily. When be saw Ben and Fanny, be suppressed a desire to wave to them. Emily would probably slip in at the last. Then the gray velvet curtains parted and the minister lifted his voice in prayer. The words that followed left Marvell unsatisfied. He could identify th. quptations as they fell—Job. Ecclesiastes, Corinthians — the strong bold variations of an eternal theme modified by the impersonal sympathy of the speaker. What does it mean to me? asked Marvell humbly. The T had gone out of- Proctor. The T' that had known bate i and fear, responsibility and f rustration. shyness and brotherly love . —for Elizabeth, at any rate. And the T is going out of me, too, he thought The "I" who couldn’t stand up to restraint, who could not face rebuke. I was as arroI gent as he ever was and more—with Ben and Ncdda, yes, and Furse. Maybe not with Kit Mayi be. He remembered Kit’s words with a pain greater than grief or loneliness. "You’re pushing me forward to take the place you should have had. I cajnt do Jt i You have to do st yourself." He knew, then, there was another T somewhere, what he started out with, what he had yet to find, or both. Had Proctor finally learned that? 1 wish to God we could have acknowledged the fact to each other, that's all. .

Thurman Drew and B. P. CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT IT'S ALL over, Marvell realized, as people rose around him and rose and moved down the aisle. He stood aside; should he try to follow him out to the chaste statuary on Chestnut Hill? He had never felt so aimless. "Marvell ..." It was Emily. She was not wearing black, but a light heather-colored suit and hat that reminded him ot a faded lilac bush. "Why, Emily," he said, taking her hand, waiting for the tears. "How nice of you to come,” she said, as if he were one of those old-fashioned "at homes’* when she and Elizabeth had kept their hats on in their own house all day. As he murmured words of sympathy, she nodded her head, the lavender featherz in her hat rustling against her veil like dried plumes of lilac in the wind. What had become of her emotional overflow? Her eyes used to fill up as quickly as Alice Ben Holt. "Won't you drive back to the house with us? I want you to meet Bradford. He’s at home." •Thank you" He was rather dazed. Ben must have put her. up to it They drove home together, Emily and a pleasant sister of hers from Cambridge, and MarvclL He listened while Emily talked and her amiable sister sighed and clucked in sympathy. “There won't be a service at the cemetery. At least not a formal one. Cremation, you see. That was his wish. He always planned for everything. He was ill only twodays, you know. And I think that was what he minded most, to be taken so unawares.” Marvell nodded. He understood just how he must have felt. “How is Katherine, Marvell? She must be a big girl. Is she still at home?"

•'Very well, she wanted to come with me today but I . . ." "Quito right of you. Let our children always remember us alive and writ Bradford is especially sensitive, so I insisted he remain at the house. “It was last June, wasn’t It, that she graduated? I'd like to have seen her in the play. Fanny sent me notices in the paper. Her first Important occasion, it was very remiss of me not to have given her something in remembrance. I shall send her something now." "Better make it a wedding present," said Marvell. "Oh. how nice! Is it a Harvard boy?" "He meant to be, but he went to war instead." Emily wrinkled her nose. “Too bad, but aren’t we grateful that we'U never have war again? Ah. here we are.” There was no crepe on the door. The front hall was as dim as ever. The draft from the back hallway was as strong. He filed noiselesly up the wide plushy stairs guided V memory and the light plumes of Emily's hat. The amiable sister continued to the third floor, exchanging a few words about coming down later for tea. | Before he entered the library. Marvell knew that nothing would .be changed.

the grate, the brass desk lamp was placed at the same angle. Not a picture, not a paper knife had been disturbed. Emily maneuvered him into an easy chair. He was terribly aware of Proctor. *He might come in at Any moment. He had been reading "The White Monkey” and had been called away. The book, with a marker, lay on the small table at Marvell's side. “You look so wen, Marvell. Ben and Fanny told me. But it is good to see for myself. You’ve changed. Then, we're all older, aren't we?" Was it ten years or only yesterday that he had stood th thia room, Marvell wondered. “Bradford will be eleven next spring. Here is his picture." She lifted it from Proctor's desk. Marvell looked at the fair-haired plump little boy, exceedingly cheerful. It might have been the steel rimmed glasses that made him appear rather wise. “Fine, he looks older, though.” “He goes to a progressive school." she said proudly. “He's very talented." “For what?" May ell was Interested. ’ "Why —for everything now." She tried to be modest. “I mean he picks out his own tunes on the piano. He makes pictures. H e loves color." She wrinkled her nose at the room. "He never liked thia, it's so dark and stilt" "But he hasn't made any special choice yet and I wanted to talk to you before he comes down to tea.” Marvell turned his head toward the door, surely he had heard the handle turn. "He has no head for figures or detail He is so absorbed by what he secs and hears and touches. I believe he will be an artist. At ten, you can be pretty sure what the twig will be. Don't you agree?”

Marvell smiled, not without a touch of superiority. Emily had a few things yet to learn. Wait till the boy was eighteen, he might make a master plumber and knock the breath out of her. "I don't want him to go into business. Nor even to Harvard. I want him to find his native atmosphere now, day by day, not to be pushed into it at twenty." Marvell had never thought Emily so observing. “What do you mean to do?" "Next year, I wouldn’t take him from school now, I’m going to take him abroad, to France." What was the affinity between Back Bay and France. MarveU wanted to know, thinking of Nedda and Amory. "Because — now you mustn’t laugh—he won't be self-conscious about his talent Even if it is a small one.” She looked Is if she were trusting him with a secret “What do you think?" MarveU was figety. He had no opinion; even if he had, he would never be bold enough to give ft. Not any more, he thought grimly. "It sounds fine." "You remember how Father Barlow arranged everything?" Her gray suede pumps rubbed the carpet a little nervously. When MarveU made no reply, she went on. Trusts, you know, for the heirs, managed by Ben and some bank, or waa ft a ludn ..
