And no one is being led off to be shot at sunrise or to prison < amp or to any punishment whatever for saying what he thinks where the world may hear This doesn't happen, they tell us, in Soviet or satellite countries There are a many values left yet in democra tic processes. o o It is hoped that settlement of the strike at Bethlehem Steel pre«ages similar favorable action in other steel mills in the country Management and labor final ly agretd on a pension plan, in addition to Social Security benefits and the stage Is set for resumption of operation* in the nation's second largest steel plant Approximately 80,000 workers are employed at Bethlehem, out of a total of 500,000 who have been idle throughout the industry since the strike was called a month ago. o o The Pennsylvania railroad lost money during the last quarter and other railroads have reported operating losses for the year The automobile companies are turning out the greatest number of cars ever produced in one year and profits are accordingly.

Emotional Strain May C ause Cardiospasm

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. A CIRCULAR and very powerful muscle, known as the rardiac sphincter. connect* the tsophagu* and the itomach and at the same time servti to close the upper en trance to the »tomach except when food ia being swallowed. Sometimes thia muscle becomes over-ten»e to create the dieorder known as cardiospasm. Occurring! most often In people between the age* of 30 and 50. it often follow* some type of emotional atraln. A* a result of the «pasms of the mu* cle. there may be a narrowing of the opening through the lower end, of the eaophagu*. Food lodge* I above this narrow part and the | esophagus gradually enlarges.* thicken*, and lengthens. Symptom* of cardiospasm con slst in difficult swallowing, the vomiting of food, and pain underneath the lower part of the breast, bone During excitement or period* of depression, the spasm ia most severe. The lack of food result* in loss of weight and anemia or lea- ( selling of the coloring in the blood. t ■ventually. there I* severe main* trit ion X-ray examination ia important in making a diagnosis. The X-ray* will show the narrowing of the low-, tr end of the esophagus and the lengthening and swelling of the part of the tube JVt above thU nar row portion.

K, Politicians and some legislators J have thrown out the word f "statism" as something hideous, and it may have that Implication, but according to the Gallup Poll only ten per cent of the people know its meaning. We doubt if the word applies to our govern ment status It probably better fits a feudal system of govern ment and Washington apparently is leaning to the directly opposite, being more responsive to the masses. And Lincoln said "gov- < rnment by the people.” o o— Thursday will be "Community Night" at the Moose Home when the kick off is made for the Community Center campaign Volunteer workers will hear talks by Dale W. McMillen. Sr., and John E Estabrook, enthusiasts for the proposed Decatur Center and music will be furnished by the famous Aeolian Choir of the Decatur General Electric Company It will be a civic gathering, the like of which has never before been held here and upon which depends much of the success in the campaign to raise 8275,000, including the gift from Central Soya Company for Decatur’s Community Center. o o It happens sometimes that a thief or other criminal is quickly caught, or perhaps his crime foiled altogether, because an alert passer by noticed something wrong and notified police. But this does not happen nearly so often as logically it ought to happen Many persons hesitate to give this kind of help to the police, through timidity, fear of making themselves appear foolish. or reluctance to become involved In the troubles of other people. Police officials ’ would rather he called unnecessarily than be called too late when needed. And citixens could make their own communities safer and better by being more generally ready to give the police a quick tip or a helpful word when trouble appears. , o—o Defense Saving: The unification of the armed forces is already saving the taxpayer money. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, head of the defense management committee has already eliminated waste in defense operations to the amount of *78.000.ono. Further economies may amount to *350,M0.000 and perhaps as much as 1530.000.000. Where does the saving come from? By reducing the number of motor vehicles used by the armed services. 120.000,000 annually has been saved Office staffs have been cut. Laundries, printing plants and libraries, hitherto operated in triplicate by the three separate services of the defense •forces, have been consolidated By transferring 2.138 chauffeurs and 1.080 recruiting officers to other departments, another |lO,000.000 economy has been made. These savings should soon be noticed in the military budget

Other condition* which may be mistaken tor cardiospasm include ulcer of the stomach and tumor growths. i.i the beginning, this condition may be benefited by giving drug*, •uch as which relax the epacin The patient should have i a bland, nutritious diet without much bulk. The narrowing may be stretched by using a rubber bag which li passed into the esophagus i and inflated with water. If this treatment does not. bring relief and cannot be satisfactorily - carried out. It is suggested that an I operation be performed to overl come the difficulty. Prior to opera tfon. the patient i* put on a fluid diet for a few days and tba esophagus washed out with a weak baking sods solution. A tube is then passed into the stomach and the stomach content* drawn out. This ' tube is left in place until a day or two after the operation. Following tbs operation, the esophagus will usually return to its normal six*, i although, if the deformity has been present for a long time, it may not QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Reader: What would cause a continual ache in the throat?

But neither parent has ever hud any idea how to discipline junior. They wasted money sending him to one college after another, and he always managed 4« get kicked out. He has been in on a drunken manage, and divorced. Merle tried to talk with junior, and was told that junior would get rough on hearing any more “pious platitudes.” Hoy. ho* I'd lore to be at hand when junior got rough!

me down on the subject. Monday. September 21 Dorothy Hardin and I had our first conversation this morning in Spanish class. 14 was arranged by my laying the Spanish sentences on the arm-desk where she could see it. She picked up my paper, anil fur iously copied from it. She actually said. “Thanks." when she shoved It back. I cracked. “You had such a busy week-end you couldn't do your ‘own? She said. "Yes. It was prob-1 ably the last chance up at the lake. - Then I fried the boob question; j i "That's where you share a <ottage with the Mattingly Blight?" “The Bligh cottage is at the Ota-I er end of the take. Say, what’s eating you?” “I just had to figure out where you were going with Junior Bligh Friday night If I was your dad. I wouldn't even let that skunk drive you up to the lake." She looked at me and held her brer/h until the bell rang to sl-i't class. “You are not my dad." was all she said. But it made me shrivel like a dried red beet I wish I could get as excited alx»ut Fern Nygaard, the history teacher. It might get me a Int furt-i---er. Johnny Houma told me that be thinks that the teacher might he i “susceptible to my charms '* She does call on me frequently, and mi far. I have known enough of the right answer that she can acid a bit to it and make it seem c lever cif me. She remarked this morning. ■"What? Ail this knowledge, and footliall, 4oo?” She does not know that if given a chance anywhere to show off. I do. I was inflated in history. and deflated in Spanish. I guess It is all good fur my equi 1 poise. And re-inflated in the football post mortem. Maybe Coach Brady i will come 4o like me yet. He Boomed almost pleased that we won tha’ game Friday, and said that the oniiy major mistake we made was .n waiting au long to bang away with out superior power. He showed bow we might have hurt the game But we did not lose, thanks to the determination of the “wild iCttasian.' which brought something very close ito a grin to the poker face. I may i get 4o tell Brady sometime that my mother is as Irish as he is. My mind runs back with relief | to that conversation in Spanish class Sure I felt small. But after all. there was an explanation for Dorothy's riding with Bligh. And the sent she said to me was. “Tun are not my dad." Wednesday. September 23 Keiigwu ba«> not doae my temper

much good. Mike and I had a vocal fight tonight. No sooner did he ge* a job than he .thought a car necessary for his new status I had adv Bed him against spending so much money before he had earned it, but said little until he said I ought to lend him the money I have imen able to save since 4he family left (foal Creek.

It would amount to me buyin; ■ the car while he held ‘be title Hr got mud and called me u cheapi skate, and 1 t ailed him a sponger. • Then Ivan.

Mike stomped out fi a, rage, and then I got jumped >n by the vice president. She tlwayt takes Mike's part. I got to thinking about it later that Mike and I should have talsed It out more calmly alone, and not at the table where others would take up our ti.sagreement. Speaking of sponging, somebody is sponging my Spanish translation regularly now, I don't get angry .nt thr*. although perhaps I snould. My work served her well, this morning, indicating that she had a wonder. <it memory. I wrote out the translation to "Life of a Rogue." and the paper stack ot'4 of my book on the chairarm. Dotty, without so much «• *sking permission, pulled out the paper, read It over, and put it buck o t my desk just as the bell rang. Immediately. she was called on for a whole paragraph of translation, and recited my work almost perfe. Ur. When she stumbled over one word. I got II to her in a whisper. She la not polite enough to thank me. I'll let her get away with It until the day I figure she'll lie called upon for another translation, then make her ask me for my paper, or somehow acknowledge my help. Or batter yet. I'll suggest that we work out our translation together .Merer before have been this careful ir. going after a dame who excited me: bnt in this case, it inay pay to gn slowly.

The train was scheduled to stop briefly in Savanna. HI., where Illinois Democratic leaders will greet the president. The president will sp>-ak at the St. Paul auditorium tomorrow at 9:30 p. m CBT.
