Good Fellows really enjoy Christmas b<cause they help Santa Claus make his rounds to the homes of the needy. o -o In effect, winsome Shirley Temple, said that her young husband had been a bad boy, and the court believed the former little .Miss Murker. o o—— Miners are mining coal again and most of the men hope they can stay on the joy at least until after Christmas. John L. Lewis should send • them Christmas money, for he caused them to lose a great share of their income in past months. —o o The friends of Fred Engle, a veteran employe of the G.

Fred, your friends say, “hello.'’ o —o The Bloomington, Illinois newspaper. the Pantagraph, made a survey of the smaller towns in its county and circulation area, and found what the people wanted most was a community center. Chances are if they had a |7S,OhO gift coming their way they would snap the offer and raise more money to complete the bargain. o—o— The Chamoer of Commerce Is a community boosting organization, which has done much this year In promoting activities toward making a better town In which to live. Currently, the Christmas decorations in the shopping areas, came through the sponsorship of the Chamber. It aids in many other ways on the home front. The Chamber has obtained new quarters in the DeVoss building on South Second street, and members are invited to "drop In" at an open bouse observance this evening. o o Steps, at least in the discussion stage, are underway in a few of our church congregations for the building of new edifices or additions to present ones next year. It would be wonderful if these congregations could proceed with their building plans in 1960. There seems to be a wilting ness on the part of many persons * a

• » New Whooping Cough Serum

By Herman N. Bundesen. M.B. WHOOPING COUGH la a danserous disease, particularly In in-, fants and little children under two ' years of ace because of the serious and even fatal complications which may accompany ft. For this reason » great deal of research has been devoted to the problem of finding an effective - treatment. Unfortunately, none of l these efforts has been entirely successful Recently, however, what is known as antipertussis serum, made from horse serum of rabbit serum, has been tried, with hopeful results, on a group ofi whooping cough patients It inuet bo remembered that It is difficult to evaluate any treatment carried out In this disease 1 Whooping cough Is so variable that the course It takes In one patient can scarcely be compared with that followed In another. One child may get wall witbin a week or two. another may improve over a period of three or four weeks, and a third may remain 111 for six weeks or longer Furthermore, the benefits to be obtained by any treatment depend upon when dur Ing the course of the disease. U is started In the Study mentioned above, rerums from both rabbit sad horse were used.

to help finance these new church plans and it would be commendable for them and the spirit of the city as a whole, to bring about these desired buildings Maybe we can make 1980 a church building year, along with a Youth and Community Center. —o o— — Prizes will be awarded Wednesday evening to home owners tn the several McMillen housing additions by the McMillen Home Builders Corporation, sponsor of a home beautification contest. Curtailed during the war years, the contest was reopened again this year and the winners will be announced at Wednesday’s meeting Many of the attractive homes in the north half of the city are located In the area that formerly was devoted to pasture and saw mill locations. It is one of the big improvements in the city, built solidily on the foundation of a home and the people who live in the houses. o o— Back Home Pressure: Dispersal of defense plants, from vulnerable locations on the oceans or Great Lakes, Is evidently not going to be accomplished without a fight. A body calling Itself the "National Defense Committee." composed of senators and representatives from the communities affected, wants the plants to stay where they are. An outsider gets the impression. possibly wrong, that these members of Congress are primarily interested in the economic loss to their constituents if the industries move. Restaurants, amusement places, groceries and many other retail establishments would suffer severely if aviation plants or establishments making fine precision Instruments should go from the coast, say, to Phoenix. Arizona The same line of thought has compelled the retention of obsolete Navy yards. Business men who might lose money if the yards closed have complained to their senators, and the senators have forced the Navy Department to continue wasting the taxpayer’s money to keep the yards open. Perhaps true patriotism might be defined as a willingness to lose profits if the public welfare demands it.

| number of coughing and vomiting attacks as well us on the general appearance of the patient and the amount of improvement in the general condition which was produced. It wss found that In many cases, the number and severity of the roughing attacks and attache of vomiting decreased rapidly. With . the decraase in the severity of the ' coughing spells, there was an improvement in the general well1 being of tile patient, his behavior, and appetite. In some instances there was a temporary benefit ■ only. , However, the benefits obtained 1 from this type of treatment, according to Dr. John A. Toomey of Cleveland and his co-workers, are ■ not sufficient to recommend its use in ell rasas of whooping cough. It should *be used when the patient is deapertitely ill. Most children with whooping rough ean be protected against severe complications by the use of peniciOin. the sulfonemide drugs, and similar preparations. There is no question, however, that the xerom does have some value in the treatment of whooping cough.

CHAPTER XX Continued 1 “She and I had a fight last night about my leaving her tor Young Peoples, but I was leader and had to go. I don't know of any trouble other than that fight. You know I told you the other night that we were dating to prove that there was more fun in good behavior han in bad. We had a wonderful time In the snow yesterday, and I thought I had her convinced, but she got defiant when I mentioned Young Peoples." "Was my daughter so naughty that you had to convince her to behave? Teil us the truth.” “Her father must have noticed that she had been stealing his urhlskey ” Hardin put in;,“We have taught our daughter moderation in all things. For a year, now, she has been allowed to drink like a lady- " Then the telephone rang CHAPTER XXI Hardin's conversation on the telephone informed us before he came to report that his sister had not yet seen his daughter. He added that Dorothy knew where her aunt worked, and would likely appear at the office shortly. If she did not by noon, then Hardin would have the Chicago police make a survey of hotel registra tions. but he did not want to get the police in the deal while there was yet probability that Dotty Would go to her aunt. The conservation took op where It left off: "Our daughter has been taught to drink like a lady, so you were out of order in assuming her use of whiskey was naughty It's the puritanical Influence of that man Hawley—" I was disgusted enough to inter rupt: “la it puritanical to call naughty her getting drank and put ting on a strip-tease at a party? She was no more a lady when drinking than I am a gentlemanand I refused to drink because it makes a devil out of me." Mrs Hardin held up her hand to silence her Indignant spouse, and asked me quietly: "Tell us about that party. We may not know our chl'J as wail as we think we do." "On Hallowe'en. 1 went to a party out among the river cottages, for which Dorothy furnished the whiskey—ypur whiskey I know what the stuff does to me. I know I'm a pathological drinker, but Dotty got mad because I was a wet blanket, and got high to get back at me. She did the ean<an oa a table-top and I took her down and started home with her. because I had taken her and was re sponsible for her safety.

Ymd said nothing to you." Hardin went and bussed for Mrs Rehmus. He said. "We'll quickly check on that." Mrs. Rehmus had been laundering. apparently unaware of the situation. Hardin asked her pointblank: "Mollie, did you ever see our daughter In a drunken condition?" She seemed to be looking for Dotty, then referred the question to ine: "What was the matter with Miss Dorothy when you brought her home sick one night?" Mrs. Hardin commanded: "Don't evade. Molly. Would you say she had been drinking too much?" Molly said yes. Mrs. H. continued: "Would you judge that Ivan had been drinking?" “I couldn't stnell nothing." Molly did not know of any other time Dotty was drunk. When she had gone back to the laundry. Hardin demanded of me: "Tell us about that fight you mentioned having with Dorothy last night. Was ft all verbal?” “No sir. I laid her over my knee and spanked her.” Hardin's reaction was anger. He got up and walked the telephone, but Mrs. H. called him back: “Gerald. we ought to hear this out ourselves first. Why did you, Ivan?" "Decause I figured you wane afraid to, and by her treatment of you, she had needed It a long time I was brought up to believe that kids ought to respect their par tats.” “Now, that Is not the Immediate reason for your action. What was It?" “I was mad at the tactles she used to keep me away from church I knew It amounted to this: 1 either had to —do what I did- or she might have left In trouble from me." Hardin growled angrily. “You could have left her without vio It nee. You'll go to prison for that." I stood up to him. “You have been talking the violence of the 'blond beast' and you ought to know something of a man's feel Ings If you try any police-stuff with me, the court will get the whole story in detail, and It won't hurt me as much as you and your scheming daughter.

‘healthy animal'—if that's all life means to her.” Htiil quietly. Mrs. Hardin cut in: “No you won't. Ivan. You're right, and we are trying to put our faults off onto you. Sit down. Gerald. We have to plan a new strategy with Dorothy when she comes back. 'Drinking-like-a-lady' is not the answer. Help us. Ivan, by telling us where we must start with her. How bad is she? Has she been immoral? what did she do to tease you last night?” Hardin roared. "Are you willing to listen to this gangster against our own daughter? You know what kind of family he comes from—brother shot in a robbery.” The telephone rang, and Hardin answered it. It was the local bank, asking if it should order a Pitts'burgh bank to honor Dorothy's check for one thousand dollars. Hardin roared. "No! What Pittsburgh bank Is it? Steel City National. Thank you.” He rushed in to announce that he would charter a plane to fly to Pittsburgh. I asked. "Where will you find her there? You should have asked the bank to hold her for you. Or the Pittsburgh police.” He ignored me and went back to the telephone to call the airport in Loftland. I said to Mrs. Hardin. “Vnless somebody holds her. she will be so mad at not having her check honored that she will get out of Pittsburgh long before he can get there" Hardin was hearing that Saturday's blizzard was now approach Ing Pittsburgh, and flights were grounded. On the hope that a pHb rate plane could be persuaded to make the flight, Hardin buzzed for Mr. Rehmus to drive him to Loftland. and Mrs. ran upstairs to get 1 what he needed for the trip. 1 again urged Hardin. “Call the Steel City Bank and ask them to hold Dorothy for you.” , "How can a bank hold her?" "Either they or the Pittsburgh [ police could charge her with trying > to cash a bad eheck. I don't 'ee ; bow you hope to find her unless r you do that.” He ignored me again.

Williams Lamp Selection Consider more than looks and price when Christ mas-shopping for floor or table lamps. Any lamp| that will be used for reading, studying, sewing or other close work needs to be constructed to give plenty of dear. soft, glareless light. For a good buy tn such a lamp, here are features to look for: 1. Size—Be sure the lamp is tall enough and has a shade broad enough at the bottom to spread a wide circle of light and allow for sitting up comfortably while reading. 2. Bowl -Be sure the lamp has a diffusing (reflector) bowl under the shade to prevent glare and soften light. The bowl should be of good quality plastic or white diffusing glass of even thickness throughout. 8. Bulb— I.a nips equipped for three-light bulbs are most useful because the light can be adjusted to suit different needs. 4. Shade—Select shades broad at the bottom, deep enough to conceal the diffusing bowl and with a white lining to reflect light. A white or ivory shade gives about SO percent more light than a dark shade which absorbs and thus wastes light. Many people like shades which are dark on the outside but they should always have a white lining. Twist Versus Tuft Twist-type carpets and rugs are becoming more popular and challenging the long supremacy of the "cut pile" type, such as the Axministers still load all other kinds of carpets in sales-with those of carved textured design in special favor today, consumers are showing a preference for the twisttype with the harder surface and nubby or pebbly look. Reasons consumers gire for preferring this type are that it shows soil and footprints less easily, has good scuff resistance, is of plain color yet may give a two-tone effect because the uneven surface highlights and shadows. The chief difference between the two types of carpets is that in the twist-type the loops of yarn are left uncut while In cut-pile types like Axminsters. Wiltons, velvets, tWe loops are sheared off leaving the familiar soft, velvet-like surface. Another trend in buying Is toward the small, bright-colored cotton rug which Is especially popular with the younger generation because It adds cheerful color to ’be home at little cost and suits Informal bouse fu wishing Cotton rugs in larger size also are being favored for their Informal pattern and good coity even though cotton is less durable-In a rug than wool.
