Until a larger and more convenient place I* provided, the Den will be used as a youth center or Teen Canteen. Established in 1944. the Den has been a popular place for junior and senior high school youths of both schools, it opened again today for the current season and no doubt will continue to attract high school stu dents who enjoy the Center's recreational facilities, with its added advantages of a meeting place for friends in after-school hours. May it have another successful year. Gerald L K Smith, the former Klan leader and rabbitgrouser, attempted to get back into public print with bis endorsement of Senator John Foster Dulles in the New York senatorial election. Dulles, an American of the highest type, repudiated the endorsement with this statement. “I have utter contempt for what Smith stand* for and be know* it." Smith I* a cancer in the body politic and should not be granted the privilege of attaching hl* smeary character with any good American or cause. . __p o— Highlighting the kickoff dinner Thursday evening at the Moose Home for the Decatur Community Center will be the stimulating talks by Dale W. McMillen and John E. Estabrook Both men are dynamic as public speakers and their enthusiasm should intoxicate everyone devoted to the campaign to raise *275.000 for the proponed Community Center.

Hard-To-Treat Skin Co ndition

By Herman N. Bundeaen, M.D. | OVER 100 year* ago, the akin condition known aa lupus erythematosus was observed and completoly dearrilied Thia disorder appears usually on the face in the form of a rash made up of red. raised, scaly patches which are disfiguring. In the later stages of > the condition. I>ecauae of the wasting of the skin, the dirty scales and the enlargement of the surface blood vessels, disfigurement Is often more marked. The condition does not seem to cause any general symptoms. However, if the rash becomes irritated. it may be transformed into , a more generalised illness affect-' ing many parts of the body. Thia is known as lupus erythematosus djaseminatus In these cases the rash spreads, appearing not only on the face but on the hands, toes, and other parts of the skin. Occasionally there is an eruption made up of large blisters, there may also be bleeding into the skin The first attack of this condition may be mild, but usually there ia some favor pain in the joints and muscles, enlargement of the lymph glands, and disturbances of the stomach and bowel Anemia or sewering of the red cells or color ing in the Mood and albumin in the urine are frc'-tueut compile a-

The romance of the year will be consummated with the marriage of Vice-President Alben Barkley and Mrs. Carleton Hadley, comely St. Louis widow, who have announced that their wedding day will be Nov. 18. The nation extends congratulations to the happy couple. Since the death of her busband, Mrs. Hadley has been secretary to the general counsel of the Wabash railroad and to the mother of two daugh lers Veep Barkley is a grandfather and since the death of bls wife, his eldest daughter has acted as his official hostess in Wasle ington. The country stems happy over the match and wish the famous couple happiness and good health. The uti'xpected death of the Rev Gilbert A Eddy, former pastor < i be Nuttman Avenue United Brethren Church, brings sorrow here to members of hi* church and to a host of friends that extended beyond the limits of bis congregation Rev. Eddy was a splendid character and excellent personality. While carrying the reserve attached Io a preacher of the gospel, he was at the same time friendly and warm ly received in any group He moved here several years ago and said he liked Decatur. He was active in our civic life and contributed of his talents, zeal and energy in various degress of endeavor. This newspaper extends sympathy to members of his family on his sudden passing from this material world. o o The new consolidated school district comprised of Washington township, outside of Decatur; Monroe township, not including Herne and all of Kirkland township will be permitted to establish a cumulative building fund. The state board of tax commissioner* ha* approved the levying of a 75-cent tax on each *IOO of taxable* in the three townships for this purpose. The levy will produce approximately *55.000 annually, and in a five year period will create a fund of at least *275,000, figured on current valuation*. Eventually the consolidated township* hope to construct a new school building, which will house the grades and high schools of the newly established district. Consolidation of rural schools moves forward in Indiana and more educational advantages are being placed within reach of our child) <n o o Both major political parties claim victory In the special congressional elections in New York, and California a week from today. Highlighting the races is the contest between Senator Dulles and Former governor Lehman in New York. California is electing one member to tbe House. Virginia and New Jersey are electing governors and Pennsylvania is taking a referendum on the bonus question. The fact that Mayor O’Dwyer l» running for reelection

! lions Over-exposure to sunlight or ul-1 tra violet light have been noted as a contributing cause in some pa-: tients. Other cases have followed | an Infection in the teeth or tonsils or the attempt to remove such infections It ri tat lon of the rash on the face by ultraviolet light or the giving of injections of gold, it is thought., may bring on the more generalised i disease. It is thought that the more generalised condition may be related to tuberculosis. However, this has never been definitely proved j Unfortunately, there dues not seem to be any treatment which is necessarily of value in these disorders However, patients with these conditions should be under tbe< care of a skin specialist who will employ such measures as may check the course of the localised disease. Over-exposure to sunlight I and ultraviolet light should always be avoided. QUESTION* ANO ANSWER* A Reader: What would cause knots to form, the sixe of a pea or larger. In the neck? Answer: It Is likely that these swellings are due to enlarged lymph glands. However, examine twn hr a physician would be necessary in order to be sure. i

Mrs. Porter assigned alphabetical seating to break up whispering cliques, and may have started something worse. I' did have enough gumption to look disgusted when Hardin vat d«wti lw*slde me. She immediately edged her chair away to indicate that the feeling is mutual. I talk with several interesting girl) in the various classes Why don't f write about them in my diary? Why do I have to write about a girl who makes ins want lo slap her at every contact? Maybe Merle Hawley could analyse the problem. Maybe I could analyze it myself if I wanted to. I know that I'm trying to hate her because 1 know I don’t hate a chance with the daughter of the rich Gerald Har' din. Friday night. September IS TAMPA TIGKBII TERT TOREADORS.

I finished everything i knew to do at the church, and m.iv - go back to dust after old lady Sic 1 )- erling goes home. I got talking to Hawley a!>oi:i how I "hate" .'he Hardin brat, and he did not say much except that rhe shows lack of home discipline, . II wanted him to "catch on" that 1 ! there was something suspicious a-' bout my hr’e. but he missed the point. He Just is not so sharp on ite subject of girls. We even got talking about that. I told him he would ' never get married. Asked if he 1 knew Miss Fern Nygaard, who is •teaching our history class while working at laiftland State Teachers College on a degree She is substituting for old man Smith, who is in Europe still getting first band information. And .'he boys don't care if Mussolini or Franco or Hitler keep Smith, so long as Nygaa-d teaches. Anyway, I told Merle that I thought that our sweet li'.'le pinkcheeked teacher could make life more interesting for him. But just as I start talking abonut a woman close at hand, he shifts to one far away and safer Ho told of one Harriet from lowa whom he met in Montreal in August "Rhe's aggressive." he said; "she told me she plans to visp her brother In Indianapolis who went to the same college I did." "I hope she's aggressive enough lo hog-tie you and propose." I cracked. "Or you'll die of bachelorhood ' He laughed, aud pointed out that many of his Catholic friends lived long before they died of the.* disease. The Loflland paper said more than I predicted, it spoke about the way the strong Tampa team "dis-a tegralsd under the Incessant hammering of igorvich. the most ferocious ballerina ram we have seen In prep football.'
