The parking meters are back in business. o o The police were alert to the traffic job during fair week and did a good job in seeing that proper safety signs were erected Accidents were few and motorists drove with caution. o o City street workers, firemen and utility crews did splendid work in cleaning streets and putting Decatur s housekeeping back to normal after the fair moved out The men worked extra hours to clear the streets and their labors are appreciated. 0 Q With erection of a modern food market at the First and Monroe street crossing, the city will lose another parking lot. Is there anyway to obtain a site suitable fur off-street parking? Such a place would nut lessen the use of the meters In the shopping district, but would accommodate the cars where the owners spend all day in the city, or drive to work. A modern shopping center can grow larger if it offers parking space for today's steady flow of automobiles. o o • A federal court recently received the case of a delinquent boy who at the age of 15 had a record of half a duxen thefts, three in the category of grand larceny and of eleven escapes from detention institutions. The boy had unusually high intelligence, as shown by tests. Perhaps this boy. still so young, is not yet beyond reclamation. What a pity it would be if such Intelligence should find no constructive use A still greater pity is that the »arly escapades of a delinquent child ail too often are not handled with intelligence which would match that of this boy.

A Disorder of the Elderly

By Herman N. Buodeeen. M.O. ' ELDER LT people are often beset by the various troubles which arise »lrn the arteries of the legs are unahle to carry enough blood to nourish the tissues, either because the arteries have become hardened or becaute of spasm in these |>lood vessels. In treating conditions of this type, rest and the avoidance of tubac<x>. proper exercise and local treatment of the legs plus the elimination of any Infections, are all helpful measures. Various substances are also employed to cause the blood vessels to dilate or enlarge. Recently a number of patients of this type have been treated with glycine. Glycine is an amino acid, one of the substances which make up proteins found in such foods as meat, milk and eggs. Treatment was carried out on M patients. Glycine was given by mouth two or three times a day. Pocause of Ito sweet taste, it was given in coffee and sometimes in grapefruit or lemon juice. In no case was there any unfavorable reaction from the use of this substance. A few patients complained of sickness at the stomach, but this was avoided when the preparation was taken after meals Many patient* noticed a feeling of warmth in the bands and feet within! an hour after taking the gtyrine.;This persisted tor from l| to 7 hours. The majority of tbe (

thoroughfare for such heavy use. The big trucks that travel this route had to make ''dead-end” turns at First and Fifth streets, but fortunately rambled through without serious accident. It may be years ahead, but eventually state routes will be routed beyond city limits and new bridges and highways will have to be constructed. A person does not have an Idea of the amount of traffic that these state highways carry until one of the routes has been detoured past bis home. o o— — As European nations continue to deal with their war criminals, punishments become lighter. Dr. Weiner Best, who ruled Denmark for the .Nazis, was sentenced to death when he was tried shortly alter the war ended; now a Dan ish appeals court has commuted his sentence to five years in prison The court reduced the death sentence of the Nasi Gestapo chief in Denmark, to life imprisonment These are Indications that tbe intense passions of war. like other passions, subside quickly when there are other problems to occupy the mind. If there had been away to interrupt the kindling of passions when a war was about to begin, and provide a year or two for cooling off, many wars might never have happened. o o— — School Truants: The well adjusted child usually goes to school every day as a matter of course. School is a natural part of his program of living; he takes it for granted, never being absent except for illness or other reason not of his own making There always exists a group of habitual truants, who make attendance officers necessary. This group and its habits leading to poor attendance have neen stud! ed for a year by the Citizens Committee on Children of New York City. It concluded that truancy is a symptom of an underlying Insecurity. Home problems are sometimes the basic cause, and sometimes the trouble lies with the child's relationship to teacher and fellow students. Tbe old Idea of applying punishment by police methods has been found ineffective in handling these youthful offenders. A friendly approach, a listening ear. an open-minded attitude and understanding helpfulness are more likely to prove effective. Truancy, often the first step on the path to a career of crime, may be treated as the turning point where an ill-adjusted youngster may be straightened out and headed In the right direction

patients treated were suffering ' from hardening of the arteries. 1 The average age of this group was I <lO years. Os 35 patients in thia group. 13 wore not improved by the glycine treatment, and the majority of these were advised to have an operation known as sympathectomy in which nerves tv the blood vessels were cut. thus permitting the blood vessels to dilate A number of the pat lento treated were suffering from what is known as Ruergers disease, in which there Is spasm of thmblood ’vessels With the glycine treatment all but one of these patient* were kept free from symptoms for periods ranging from 4 to IS months. It would appear that the glycine is of value in cases to which there is disturbance of the cii*-u latioa In the legs or disorders ptlectlng the arteries It is not. however, a treatment which should be relied on entirely to the exclusion of other measures. It is an aid. rather than a cure, and must be combined with proper care of the feet and legs, root and other measures proscribed by the physician QUESTIONS ANO ANSWCRB HR: When the end of a middle finger has been amputated by a machine, can a bone graft be d<me to restore it? , Answer: It is very ynlikely that •och s graft might be succesafullv tarried out.

jo— —-— 20 YEARS AGO TODAY 10 0 Oct. 17. — Democrats open headquarters for city election campaign. George Krick is the candidate fur mayor, Mrs. Adu Martin for treasurer and Mrs. Alice Christen for clerk. J. 8. Peterson injured in an automobile accident near Fort Wayne. Lewis Armstrong of Decatur elected president of the newly organized Christian Endeavor society of Adams county at meeting held in the Mennonite church at Berne. The Decatur sugar factory will open a 100-day run Monday. The Economy store announces a i "challenge sale." Otto Wise goes to Fort Wayne to visit his father, who is quite ill. The lazier a man is the more he intends to do tomorrow.

V -< - matt of the test tew days, ana trom tne fragments they had constructed a coherent whole. Thus Chip had learned, among other things, how the Forlorners had hazed a hundred steers up into the pass and 1 sent them stampeding through, < sweeping Alessandro’s posted men before them. Those same steers had been urged on southward at a hard run, and there'd been no man to bar the way; for Alessandro’s crew had been dosing in on the ranch and the quarry they'd cornered. And thus had the Forlorncrs been in on the fighting finish. Below this house, down along the main street of the town, those same Forlorners filled the saloons, the men of the valley celebrating the freedom that had been bestowed upon them by Rayburn’s formal announcement of the governor's pardon a few hours before. Rumor had it that Sheriff Frank Busby and his deputies had lined out of town earlier, and the betting ran that the lawmen who'd played Alessandro’s game would never show themselves in the TumbleI rocks again. The jail was filled to ' bursting with Alessandro's capi tured crew, and Bingin' Bam had > elected himself temporary sheriff, i “Ain't a man in the Tumbleroqks I knows more about the inside of that caboose than me," be dei dared when stating his qualifies- , tiona. But now there was one last tale l to bo told, a page from Clark Ray- ■ burn’s past, and the others had r watted patiently for the telling. , An old wine had mellowed Rayl burn, a new contentment had taken i the shadows from his eyes, and he f smiled upon his two daughters i who were seated side by ride on k a divan, the one so blmde, the other dark and exotic. ; "I met your mother in Mexieo City, some twenty-five yean ago," r be said. "I was a professional a gambler then, a man wbo’d done i a lot of roving. But I knew rd a found what I’d been seeking when • I saw her, and 1 began courting a her at once. I had rivals, of course —many of them—and one was fle- , ton Alessandro, whose relationship e to the Brenandanos was very distant "Your mother chose rne. Don't i. ask me why; I'll always marvel . that she married a gringo gambler h who had nothing to offer her but a promises when she might have had n the pick of the world. We came ( . to the States afterwards, and at o last to Grasshopper Gulch where a there was news of a gold strike. l By then the two of you bad been i 1 bora; you first, Hope, and Lia two k years later." n "And Alessandro was to Gratehopper Gulch."

Local Pastor Tells How Ivan Got Name "One of my friends who has in his shop a poster advertising the serial to start Wednesday in the Daily Democrat asked the other day, Mr. Gillander, how did you happen to select the difficult name for your chief character in the story? Did you know somebody by a similar name in the army? "No,” I had to answer. And it did not come off a Notre Dame players’ roster. The name is as lung a process of evolution as the story itself. Originally the main character was called ‘Bill Sheridan’. Then because I wanted him to start out with a lot of conceit, added 'lgo' as a middle name, from which he got the nickname. Ego'. But tbe name Sheridan had no suggestion In It of the low ' estate socially, economically, and spiritually from which I wanted my hero to emerge. "With an anti-religious father ‘ the main character could be made to qualify as non religious. Therefore. adding to the name 'lgo', 1 I gave him a Russian father witn 1 communist anti God leanings. But I to check-mate the communist fathj er. because I did not want to make i communism itself a major factor in the plot. I gave Ivan an IrishCatholic mother. So that the par- ■ ents bring up their children in a religious vacuum, they have an agreement never to discuss rellg ion or pulitics in the home. The foreign sounding name lends to , limit Ivan socially in the Indiana town of 'Madrid', which has some ’ resemblance to Greensburg with its church on the corner of the • ' square. 1 "E cono mI c limitations are • brought about by giving the father polfei, along with the youngest • brother. Parental polio had another 1 affect on the character of Ivan, in that his assuming responsibility r for bread-winning gave the boy a - sense of responsibility beyond that ' of most of his contemporaries in I Madrid high school.' "Also, the Slavic name has a • minor purpose of indicating to Americans that Russians are 1 people, too. capable of being con i verted to the American way of > life." Farm Meetings I More than 35 million persons In , the United States sttended meetings, demonstrations and tours held by ' county farm agents in 1946.

' —L—t nayourn nouoeu. 'sometimes a think he knew every move we made and followed ua He still loved Donna, 1 know, and lie was never the kind to give up when he desired something. But Donna died in Grasshopper Gulch the first winter, and I'd have been willing to die too, except that 1 had you girls to raise. And the irony of it was that 1 was rich—rich enough to have given your mother everytiling. My claim in the gulch had paid off As well as Alessandro’s, which was one of the best." "And you got into that card game then?" Chip asked. ‘That was part of Alessandro's scheming; 1 can see It now," Raybum said. "Donna was gone, but he hated me the more because his chance of taking her from me was gone too. He wanted me ruined, and he ruined me in that game, stripping me of everything I owned. That's what made me desperate. I had my girls to raise, and I'd let everything 1 possessed cross that table. So I made that one last deal—the deal whereby I staked myself against what I'd lost. And tost again on the turn of a crooked card, though I didn't know that till last night." “And you never welshed on a deal like that!" Ives marveled. Rayburn shook his head. "I'd been a professional gambler, and that made it a matter of honor. Alessandro was likely taking that into account. But be insisted that I turn Ua over to him; she was to be his hostage, his assurance that I’d keep the bargain I'd made. He had another reason, of course Hope was mv girl blonde and blue-eyed, but Ua was her mother al! over again. The love that fieton Alessandro had lost had been transferred to the image of Donna , Brenandano. And so Ua went to live with him. and Hope went to i an academy in Helena, where I , registered her under the Anglicized I version of her mother a maiden ■ name. "Alessandro had come to Turn- , bicrock by tlien, bringing his gold , from Grasshopper Gulch. And , here he found out about the out- , law sanctuary of Forlorn Valley to the north, and saw the poasi- : bility of making himself richer by i acting as middle man for the val- . ley. I was Installed la the valley . to see that the Forlorners never I resented his fat pickings too high- , ly. And thus he had the perfect , set-up. Th er. was Jasper Fogg , under his thumb to handle any shady legal dealings for him. Coloi radc Jack, here, equally his slave, > and able to take care of his ranch, and me to handle the valley. U , left Alessandro tree to roam the . world at will." "But it you’d only told me the , truth:" Ua cried. If f Ceactaded?
