Dollars donated to the Good Fellows will be hay for Santa's Donder and Biitsen. o o — - The stores will be open until nine this evening and beginning next Wednesday will remain open until that hour for the balance of the Christmas shopping season. o — The sororities have shown another generous impulse by each contributing |IOO to the Good Fellows club. These social organizations came forth with substantial pledges for the proposed Youth Center and Community building and now support the Good Fellows so that needy may have a Merry Christmas. We admire their public spirit. o o President Truman's announcement that Russia had prod Med an atomic bomb is listed as the biggest news story of the year. It probably was. but chances are other stories have bg< n more widely read. If we recall correctly. the fight to save tiie life of little Kathy Fiscus, caught in a well pipe 95 feet underground, carried the strongest human appeal. Natural gas users were given a feeling of uneasiness, similar to that felt by coal users when old John L. acts up. as they read of the explosion in the Panhandle pipe line The supply of gas was c urtailed in Fort Wayne industrial plants and the reduction might have been felt here, had not repairs to the line been made. The heating problem seems to be everybody's worry, at least from the uncertainty of an unlnterupted supply of fuel. n o The Community Center fund could be boosted to the 3125JMM) mark without too much sacrifice on the part of donors and then the Memorial Foundation would be in position to reach the 3150.060 goal if one large subscription were received. We should strive to complete the local campaign before Christmas, especially when victory Is so near. To date more than 3110.000 has been contributed and with that much money contributed, no civic cause should di*.

A Serious Disease Os the Skin

By Herman N. Bundeaen. M.D. IX lupus erythematosus we have a serious disease of the akin about which little la known, either a» to its cause or its cure. The fact that exiamure to sunshine seems to make the condition worse hints at the possibility that certain light rays may play a role. But why they should have a harmful effect on the comparatively few individuals affected with lu*> us erythematosus and not ou others. Is a question that remains to be answered. Another rather strange fact about this disease is that In many cases Its seems to affect the joints, aa well ns the akin Often.' In addi tion to the itching, red-scaled rash whic h covers the nose and cheeks, there is also pain In the joints, together with congestion and swellIn*. Recently, a number of such patients have been treated with some degree of success with para-amino-beaxol' acid, a part of the vltaminR eomples While it not known just how this substance acts to J bring relief It may be that this work will eventually give a new due aa to the nature of this puz-, situs ailment Meanwhile it gives us what is perhaps our best peans of helping those afflicted with It. In one study a total of S 3 patioots were given this remedy Four obtained escellent results. H became stanlfleantly better, four ba4 poor results, and 7 were not benefited at all When the treatment was beneficial the rash gradually faded, and there wus lessening of thr welling aad congeetlun Relief of too NchlM «■«*•»•

We trust Christmas will not pass unnoticed in Santa Claus, Ind.; Noel. Mo.; Mistletoe, Ky.; Bethlehem. Pa.; Christmas. Fla.; Goodwill. W. Va.; Christmas Cove. .Me.; Peace Valley. Mo., and Comet and Vixen, N. C. o o - Most people will agree that the country would like to see the federal budget reduced to 33 billions, Instead of facing a tax boost next year. Regardless of the necessity for military and foreign expenditures, the veterans' administration and interest on the public debt the figure proposed by Senator Byrd for governmental expenditares next fiscal year is still a lot of money. A new tax program would tend to upset the present day economic balance and then a wave of higher prices would result. o o General Eisenhower denies that he is a candidate for the presidency. but his speeches Indicate that he may have his eye focused in that direction At the moment he holds top place as a speaker on national topics and seems to be getting an attentive ear wherever he goes. And the politicians who read that. “Thousands cheered as Eisenhower drove down Broadway in Galveston. Texas," see a possible champion going by. Eisenhower's place in the GOP fold largely will be determined by the outcome of Senator Taft's race next year in Ohio. o —o General Leslie R Groves, former head of the A-bomb project, cleared the water with his testimony before the congressional committee that Is investigating charges that atomic secrets were sent to Russia. Groves denied that Vice-president Wallace or the late Harry Hopkins ever “pressured" him to release atomic information to them. Secrets did leak, the army general surmised, but no plot existed at the time. The man who hurled the nasty charges probably sought publicity or endeavored to smear the actions and spirit of men closely associated with the late President Roosevelt.

Helved arcus was obtained. The patients also noted improvement in their sense of well-being. One patient had relief from severe joint pains. In some cases, the skin rash became slightly worse during the first few days of treatment in many cases, the para-aminobenzoic arid had to be continued over a long period io order to bring about any response. The para-aminol»en-sole acid is not a cure for this disease and. it treatment with it is stopped, the condition tends to recur. Reactions to the preparation seem to occur fairly often. Occasionally. the patients develop fevet while receiving this substance. Sometimes, the drug may produce sickness at the stomach and vom- ' iting. These attacks of fever and I reactions may be overcome by administering the para-aminolienzoic mid in small amounts and gradually increasing the dose These symptoms subside when the drug >s temporarily stopped and. In most J cases. It can be started again wlthIc ut producing any farther trouble. QUESTION* ANO ANSWER* A Reader I have a pata through ' my right lung and it extends up the hack of my neck. Will you tell me the cause? • Answer: The pain may be due U> gallbladder disease, or to some condition within the chest cavity, such as pleurisy which is an inflammation at the lining membrane of the lungs. It might be caused by some disorder affecting the muse lee or nerves of the back. You should have a thorough study made to determine the cause of year r—trtma

CHAPTER XXIII Friday, November 27 Since Portia saved The Merchant of Venice, I have never heard more wisdom than was expressed last night in extraordinary session 'of the Castlie Circuit Court. Surprisingly mougb. my father was the first one to draw fire when he had presented his story to Judge Miller, and Ivan. Sr., expected it. took it perfectly. In fact. I feel that my father's attitude was the key to the settling of the whole situation. The judge asked him sternly: "Whether joking or not. did you tell Forsythe that you are a communist. or that you favor communism over the American form of government.** "I did. your honor, not thinking it would come to this." "Then you share in the blame for bringing this attack upon yourself.',' "I do. your honor. Will you let me take an oath before this court that I hereby renounce Karl Marx and the Russian system, and swear again allegiance to the I'nited States of America and the American system." My father dripped tt-ars. and so did I. He was becoming an American at last, in idea as well as name. "You are under oath before me now,” the judge told him. "This renewal of allegiance we will glad ly include in court records. Too bad you had to take this way of learning." Forsythe, affected by my father's attitude, was next to come*forward and take oath. 1 had stretch him out early, and he was least battered of the hoodlums. The judge took a soft tone toward him: "Forsythe, in a sense you were the victim of the delusion that you had to defend the American way of life by violence. 1 am inclined to be lenient toward you providing you tell me what you know of the activities of this stormtrooper gang. What do you know of the fire at the African Methodist Church r "We were trying to drive niggers out of town. I set it from the alky when Biigh broke the win dow.” "We Will get the details later of how you set It. and who else was with you. Who else were you trying to drive out of town.” "Jews, and communists I thought Mr. igorvicb was a serious communist.” "How did you go about driving out the Jews’" "Wrecking their business and kewp.ag them reared Matt raid they d get out quickly.”

I "By ‘Matt,’ you mean Mattingly Biigh. Jr.? What made you want to drive the Jews out of Madrid? Had they injured you personally ?" | “No. but when Mr. Hardin came back from Germany, he told how the Jews had takgn over everything there until Hitler slopped them. Matt said we had to stop them before they took over everything here. Jews and communists will run everything If we don't fight them. Ego Igorvich even told Matt, who was born here, that he could not date a Madrid girl.” Judge Miller called the prisoners in. one by one; told them that they had been implicated in the church burning, the wrecking of Jewish property, as well as in the attack on Igorvich senior and junior: and promised them leniency according to the truth of their confession. Junior Biigh. his face so badly battered that he could hardly speak, was last and the only one who tried to lie. He said that he had seen the fight when he was walking home from a date, bad gone to see what was going on. and had been attacked by me. His father, stood up. saying: "Excuse me. Judge.” Walked over and put his arm about the shoulders of Junior, and tried to persuade him: "Now, Matt; if you will tell the truth, we will stand by you The other men have Involved you in this." Junior shook off the band and announced, “I am telling the truth." Judge Miller warned him: "If this court finds that you have shown contempt by lying under oath, I can assure you that the sentence will be one you will have to serve out yourself in prison, and not just a fine that your father can pay. Do you wish to dictate a confession?" "Yes." agreed Mattingly Biigh. Junior. Then the judge < alggl Mr. Hardin to stand before him "Am I on trial. Judge?" asked the father of . my missing sweetheart. I felt sorry for him He was not defiant. “You may think of It that way. Mr. Hardin It would be not hard to assess your liability as accessory before the fact in the attacks on negroes and Jews, and possibly on the messrs Igorvich. and you are Intelligent enough to see it yourself, are you not?" "I had no idea my traveltalk j would bring on such violence. I have been too much staggered by the loss of my daughter this week to warn these men against it.” ' Did yon not suspect last week that the burning of the African ; Methodist Church was connected | with your traveltalk? is that why I you were so quick to offer your own church to the colored people (or services?"

Valued Diamonds Are Returned By ExDecatur Lady The other day a Fort Wayne paper carried a story of a woman who lost her purse containing diamonds valued at 32450. tliat the purse was returned to the owner by a "Mrs. Miller." of Fort Wayne. The person who returned the purse, and the diamonds, was Mrs. Carl F. Miller, formerly Miss Pauline Niblick of Decatur. Mrs. E. Aesdhliman. 917 Russell street, a sister of Mrs. Miller, reports that the Garrett woman who; lost the purse. Mrs. Mary Todd. I "was too ill ov» r her losses to even . I converse on the telephone.” 1 pon hearing the news of the recovery of the purse and diamonds., Mrs. Todd and her husband rushed backi to Fort Wayne, recovered the [ purse, and “offered a generous re- ( ward.” which was refused by Mrs. I Miller. The item explained how Mrs. I Todd, after discovering the loot, reported the incident to Fort Wayne police, who carried on a lengthy but unsuccessful investiga- i tion Mrs. Todd returned to her home "and despaired of ever re- > covering the money or jewels.” It was then that the phone in the Todd home rang, and Mrs. Miller ' told h< r of the recovery. of tduiialslrnlur Notice is )>ereh, glten That the undersigned has been appointed Ad- , minlstrator of the estate of Janies <• Frank late of Adam- County. d"- , , eased.
