Make Decatur your Christmas shopping center. —- -—©"■■■• o" 1 The Decatur Memorial Foundation. Inc, is a living thing and the fund for the Youth Center and Community Building will continue to grow. o- o One of the annoying persons Is the motorist who stops his car across the pedestrian <ro---walk. He wants not only the road but the sidewalk as well. O o Santa Claus made the children happy and recreated the legend in the hearts of boys and girls that he is the finest fellow living. And what would the world be without the spirit ot Christmas and giving? o o Ralph Roop, city engineer, will direct enforcement 'of the new zoning law Mr. Roop has performed many public services and Is a sincere and able administrator Hardship is not a purpose of the law. but certain restrictions will have to be met or the ordinance becomes ineffective. Mr. Roop will have the courage to see that the law is observed. What is fame? Maybe there Is a difference between fame and human Interest. One ponders on the thought that the deaths of Bill (Bo Jangles* Robinson, the negro dancer with twinkling feet and Gargantua, the giant gorilla of Ringling Brothers circus, carried obituaries larger than those usually given to governors and senators. And probably more newspaper readers knew more about the characters than they do of statesmen? O O' ■ Carl Pumphrey, president of Decatur Memorial Foundation, Inc., and general chairman who spearheaded the 12-week intensive drive for the Youth Center and Community Building, performed one of the greatest civic services ever demonstrated by a local citizen. For three months he gave of his time and energy to the cause. He served without a penny of compensation. To top
Penicillin Now Used for Treatment
By Herman N. Bundesen. M.O. IN the pant, one of the great ob-j stacles to the successful treatment' of syphilis wan the time required. The only drug* then known to com bat this disease had to he given for extensive period*. Many patient* found this tedious and mopped treatment before the condition wan checked or cured. Today, all thl* la changed and th» re I* a good possibility that before long we will have a one-shot Cure for thl* once alliKMt ho|>e|esß disorder. Penicillin ha* made possible the new. fast method* for dealing wi’h syphilis, a number of which have ■been developed by the Chicago Health itepartment. which ha* aimed not only at speedier result* but at allowing the patient to continue bi* usual activities during treat - ment The first work wan done with' penicillin in oil and beeswax About 1000 patients were placed on a 10-, to-15-day treatment schedule More than S out of 10 of these patient* | completed the prescribed treat-j ment. Treatment was discontinued by | 2s out of the 1000 patient* because of some reaction to the penicillin' preparation; by 60 other* because of someiiines*. either personal ar within their families, and by 125 patients for unknown reason* Al ' together, this group was only about 1/5 as large as the group that diseon 11nuad treatment when the for pier long time period was required with such drug* as agamic bi* mu th and mercury preparationIn carrying out this treatment, the penicillin was usually given daily over a period of 10 treatment days.

off his unselfish service and splendid leadership be lead the list of donors in making the largest individual contribution to the proposed building. His sincerity and outstanding achievement are highlights in community service and as citizens we all owe him a big "Thank You.” o o- — The Decatur Memorial Foundation. Inc., is a permanent institution charter'd by the state of Indiana It will act as the trustee for contributions made for the proposed Youth Center and Community Building It Is authorized to receive and administer gifts of this nature. The trustees will complete their organization and set up a central collection office where pledges and subscriptions made to the Community Center may be paid. Already the Foun- j dation has pledges and cash ex- 1 reeding *lo",000 which admittedly is a sizeable endowment and proof that It is a living and substantial organization. The campaign will continue and by the time final reports are made and unreported subscrlbtions come In, it is believed that the *150,000 goal will have been reached. o o There is a reticence in a newspaper office to write of Its own family, but this column would be amiss to overlook a memorable event In the lives of two people, the Golden wedding anniversary of Mr and Mrs. John H. 1 Heller. It will he fifty years ago tomorrow that the revered founder and head of this newspaper, and Mrs. Heller pledged their troth. We respect their wishes in their informal observance of the anniversary and realize that although happiness engulfs them, they feel grateful for blessings and accept them with humility. But what we wanted to say to the celebrants is that they have been a stimulating Inspiration as they have lived these useful years among us in complete happiness and emulation. A volume might contain more, but it wouldn’t mean more than our prayer and wish for Mr. and Mrs. Heller. "Happy Anniversary and may God continue to bless both of you.”
I the nervous system. 6,7S<UHH» units of penicillin were administered to each patient over a period of 15 treatment days. In those patients who had syphilis affecting the heart and blood vessels, the dose of penicillin at first was 100,000 units and this was gradually increased. Thus, it would seem that with the penicillin, oil, and beeswax preparation, patient* with syphilis can tie treated effectively in a short period of time. Furthermore, they can be up and as a rule, carry on their usual duties. Recently, a new study ha* been initiated by the Health Department i in which a patient is given, in one I single injection, the complete do* ! age of 2 4 million units of procaine penicillin A preliminary analysis - show* that it is almost as effective as 4.5 million unit* of penicillin-in-oil-and-beeswax that I* being given I over a period of ten day*. Aureomycin. still another new antibiotic drug, also bold* remark- , able promise. Though slower actj Ing than penicillin, it* initial effectiveness is very great. It is important to remember that the sooner syphilis is diagnosed ' and treated, the more effective the result* will be Early treatment is i essential ia protecting the infected ■ person from permanent damage to ! important body structures. With i thl* in mind, the effort* u> produce a one-shot cure for syphilis assume great importance QUESTION* ANO ANSWERS M. L: What would cause a growth of hair on the lower part of the chin in a person In the middle twenties? is this due to a thyroid disturbance? Answer: The growth of superfluous bair is not known It is possible that It is due to sotue glandular diewhence.

■ - Chapter XVII Continued | Coach Brady pointed out to us in the usual Monday lecture that Bashan had taken Creighton 14-12 last Friday on the home ground of the only team to beat us all season. And if we play on Armistice Day with no more teamwork than showed for three quarter* at Indianapoll*, Lady Luck might suddenly desert us. We must not depend on luck lie told u* that the di*appointmmt at ila*han last year must not be repeated, when the game ended (Ml In <au*e Madrid lost a last minute scoring oiqiortunity through an "unnecessary roughness** penalty. Brewer had taken a punch at the Bashan fullback and got caught, while the officials had not seen Brewer receive a slug before he gave. Just take any dirty work until the game is over, then get your man If you have to. where it won’t effect the score. Tuesday, November 10 Dotty told me in Spanish this morning that she had gone to bed early Sunday with a splitting headache. and that Bligh was there to see her dad It's a good thing she told me that, whether it was true or not. to cause I saw Junior on the square at noon and said nothing to him Had she not told me, I sure would have asked Bligh. Another piece of control: We had our last rough scrimmage of the season under the lights tonight, and one time when I threw a hip block on young Butterworth, he hit the hack of my neck with a rabbi’ punch. I growled, "Take it easy. KM!” And he had the brass to ask me if I wanted to "make something of it” All I did was laugh and say, “No. I'm afraid of you." Next time. I sailed Into him with a shoulder block, knocked hitn : down, and rejoined interference for, llenningsen for a trot over the line. He did get me later with a hard tackle, but it was clean. I walked off the field with'him later and said. "Butter, you're going to be a great player before you graduate if you just keep your temper." He waa all right by then and thank ed me.

i prised to find nothing broken around my nose and cheekbone. Brady was telling me that I had to stay out for the first half when we saw Luts stretched out from what look’d like a kick on the head when he was down. Brady, the calm, was Maxing mad. as was I. and he agreed to let me go in expecting there would be some fist-slinging. But 1 promised to refrain as long a* I could. Butterworth stayed at fullback and I went to right halfback. In the huddle. I told the gang to play clean football as hard a* they could block and tackle until we had to return dirt for dirt. We would have all Bashan town on ‘ our necks in a riot. Murphy shov-i ed a reverse at me the first chance I I had to carry, and I got turned back by their right end. but looped and cut back with all the drive I had to knock flat the guy who had kneed me. Flat but not out. he was careful from then on; and it would have taken a squad of state patrolmen to slow the terrific traffic whlch went that way from then on. Butterworth and I both smashed at that spot. I knocked the wind out of the liashen quarterback wlrti a shoulder block when Hennlngsen carried the ball. Bashan's dirty play had the effect of getting them the worst beating Madrid had ever given them. In the last' three quarters, we piled up 61 points to their xero. I scored first to get the honor as Chief Matador next Saturday- tomorrow night.Brady is usually not interested in piling up points, but we were g<* Ing. to thiow everything at Bashan. and did Every kind of play seem 1 ed to click for u*. The nearest I got to a fistfight was with their ' fullback, who caused the trouble , last year. He whacked his wrist across my sore face when getting up from a tackle, and I jumped up with my fists cocked, but held them due to the'presence of tbe referee. We all wish we could meet Creighton again, but that's impossible. We are sure now that wb could beat anybody in the state, and hate to break up tbe team There are not many more high school football games after Armistice. Just enough to bold back the newspaper* from rating the teams finally. Erin, down on the Ohio River, ha* been listed first all sea-: son. with Waldo of Gary replacing i Longvaie In second spot since we knocked Indianapolis out Loftland Central i* rated above u*. which seems funny, but we rose from "honorable mention" to fourth place on beating Ixmgvale Erin ha* a game yet on November 20.. but Waldo ia through, and we hope a post season game can be arranged with tbarn at Gary on Thanksgiving Brady to pessimist*, but , promises to try It tbe tchooiboard*

Nov. 28, —(I’Pl — Carrying a briefcase full of atomic, international and domestic problems, President Truman flew to Florida today for a fun-and-work vacation. The President, Mrs Truman, and Margaret were in high good humor as they waited for the plane to be made ready. While photographers snapped the President and his wife, Margaret took almost as many pictures of the photographers with her own camera as they did of the presidential family. Secretary of state Dean Acheson was on hand on the cold frostymorning to see the President de- ! part. it won’t be all play in Florida for 1 Mr. *Truman.

I did the naming. 1 warned Dotty that if she got another splitting headache like she had last Sun day, she had better call me before ; she went to bed: because I might not be gentle with Matt Bligh. Jr., if I should call for her and find - him there. She told me that not only Junior was there, but about half a doxen members of some club he belongs to; and they came to see pictures and stuff her dad brought from Germany. Sunday. November 15 Dorothy and I argued last night and after church this morning | about a party she want* to go to tonight. I know It will be another brawl like the one the night Mike | died. Thi re Is more fun for me with the kids after Young Peoples, like last week. And I want Stella to keep going to that .with my encouragement. Dotty almost plead ed with me to 4et off steam now that football season is over. And it is over Gary Is not Interested in the possibility of get* ting knocked out of second place And they want to let basketball take over their athletes. Brady must have had something of the same idea, which mean* nothing to me since I will not be eligible for basketball due to age. We had a gnat time at the Carmen Ball last night. Dotty and I led the grand march, set on thrones, and were “worshipped" with a pretty clever parody on I "Toreador” song A whiteface steer made a very innocent "bull." and was no more interested in fighting than the famous "Ferdinand" The owner, a 4-H kid. stayed with It. Dorothy did a Spanish solo dance, and everybody but me seemed to know how to tango. We had the gym floor, and adults were allowed into tbe stands to watch us. I I- got a Jolt on seeing Junior Bligh. who never looked my way when I wa» looking He was with some other elbow bender*. I "stooped to conqueF' last night, but if ! surrender and go to that , brawl tonight, it will merely mean that I stooped and Dotty conquered. Bill Daugherty and Carol Christman went with u* In Mike’s jalopy out to the Maple Terrace after the ball was over.
