... / Sayings:— For more years than man can accurately record, strong ■_ men have freely spoken their minds. And from the day of the first newspaper, editors have taken .a firm stand to,maintain that privilege. Newspapers have lighted the way of freedom. Where newspapers have- failed to remain'free, so too have nations and individuals. Great men have recognised that fact with tbe»e words: • * • A newspaper is freedom fa. print.—Samuel Adams. All I know is what I read in the newspapers.—Will Rogers. Our Republic and its press will rise or falf together.—Joseph Pu-. litzer. i . / Three hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a housand bayonets.—Napoleon. v * When the - press is free and every man able to read, all is* safe. —Thomas Jefferson; -K No government -Ought to: be without censors and where the press is free none ever will.— Thomas Jefferson. « . •' 2_» ' ■ Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press and that cannot be Hihltod without beingF lost.—Thomas Jefferson. .£,. * a ♦ • Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the common people.

Tumor Os Kidney In Children

THOUGH tumor of the kidney is considered rare in children, there is one type of growth which does affect them fairly often. This is known as Wilm’s tumor and/ .if* it occurs, it is likely to show up in early life. It is rarely seen after the age of 10 or 12 years. > \ -,t This tumor is the more' dangerous in that it causes no syinptoms. Ordinarily, the first sign is observed by the child’s parent* in the form of a large, hard swelling in the abdomen. Otherwise, the child looks normal arid there is no pallor. , i -j Strange as it may seem, there is usually no disturbance ln\ the action of the kidneys. If the tumor is discovered late, there tnriy be some blood present in the urine. Children and infants with any marked swelling of the abdomen should be taken to the , doc tor immediately for a complete physical examination. A diagnosis may definitely ’ be made by taking X-rays of the child after a dye has. been injected into a vein. After H has been definitely established that the child has a tumor, a careful X-ray examination ahould be made/to determine whether or not the tumor has spread.

The latter'syency is being included in all Community Fund drives, for it incorporates the USO and other service units wich assist the men in uniform.

Recently,: JHI cases; of Wilm’s dumor were studied. it was found that survival of the Jchildren having this type of tumor has steadily increased ' since 1914. ■ The increase in the number of children cured of this tumor is due to newer methods of treatment. Immediately after 'the tumor has been surgically removed, the child is given dally exposure of deep X-ray: to various ' Areas aur rounding the . kidney affected. It has been \ found that children under one year, of age'\ have a better -outlook than older chib dren having this disorder. It is important in all cases of swelling pi the abdomen in little children, that an examination be made for the presence of Wilm’s tumor. If it is present, early surgical removal . Should be carried out with intense X-ray treatment given immediately after surgery. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J.K.: I just had an X-ray of my lungs. Would’ any lumps in my breast show up on the X-ray? Answer: i Usually, lumps in the breast do not show up on X-ray. However, certain breast tumors and cysts which contain calcium will appear occasionally in an Xr,y' ■ k _ ..

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT WHEN THAT night Harrison went home, lights burned in the house, and a pleasant smell of something roasting came drifting out. Deke ran around the house dribbling a basketball and yelled, “Hi, Pop!" Ail calm as usual and yet somehow all foreign and changed. Deke went with him into the house, booting the ball ahead df him. “Mom said to go ahead and eat,” he announced. "Dinner's all ready. She went over to Fowlers'. They telephoned." "Where’s Anne?" Harrison asked. \ "In here!” she called from the room which In the old, happy days had been called the sitting room. "Hello, Dad," she said, as he entered. "Sue Davis called up and Mrs. Fowler’s much worse, so Mother went over there. Dinner’s in the oven, she said. She wasn’t sure when she would be, back.” Harrison stooped and kissed her hair. “You’ll be dancing again by spring. Anyway your face! wasn’t cut. That’s something to be thankful for." . \ "Yesl but Mother’s car .<* Dad, I could die I’m so ashamed and so sorry!" Tears welled up in her eyes. ■ , ~ He sat her upright, propping her ‘gently with pillows, feeling emotionally unnerved by the softness of her young body under his bands, feeling a surge of protectiveness tighten all his muscles. Anne looked at him anxiously. "What’s wrong, Dad? Pm going to be all right. Wasn't I lucky it wasn’t my. neck ? I remembered to relax, and do you know what I was thinking when 1 went over, the way drowning people are supposed to see all their lives? I was thinking, Now 1 am making more trouble for Dad!” She choked. "What about Eliot?” Harrison asked sternly. "Where does he come into this anyway?” Anne mopped her eyes. “I can’t help it!” she wailed. "I just can’t help it! 1 know I’m an awful foot I know I’ve disgraced you—” “What about Eliot?” he repeated. “What can’t you help?” “I can’t help being tn love with him!" she cried. “He doesn’t care anything about me—oh, I know! I know what a fool 1 am. And now I’ve ma*i more trouble for you." Harran felt a quick warming of relief. So Eliot’s revelation had been for him alone. He relented toward the man a trifle, conceded again to him some of the honor of which he had stripped him, but his guard against Eliot was stiffened. He said gently, "Anne, this is all melodrama. You’re pretty young yet. You 1 meet a lot of men before you want to choose one for keeps. Y®ur heart won’t break. Hearts are pretty tough. It’s no disgrace to be attracted to a married man. It happens all the time to girls I’ke you. Temptation is no disgrace. It’s yielding to it that’s disgrace. Put the fellow out of your m*nd and concentrate on somebody your own age.” She gave him a level, slightly scornful look. "Oh, Dad!” she exclaimed in disgust. "Those creatures!" Ihen a sort of slyness came into her eyes. She looked abruptly wares older than her years. ■TU malto a bargain with jpui,”

she announced blandly. "I’ll stop thinking about Jim Eliot—and you stop thinking abou* Aunt Laura!” Harrison felt a jar like the impact of a bullet. He said lamely, “What’s wrong with thinking,about Laura? She’s a comfortable person to think about and to be with. You’ve always liked Aunt Laura.” Anne smilted and he continued. ‘T have no wish to think of anybody outside my own home. We could have a happy home here — all of us together—" "Well, I’d better drive over and get your mother,” he said now. When Harrison arrived at the Fowler house, Eden would not leave. "Martha’s in a coma,’ she told him. "They took her to the hospital. 1 promised Mac I*d stay here with Ellen." ' ; Harrison heard other voices coming from upstairs.! He had seen Sue Davis’ big car outside. “Ellen has people to look after her, Edie** he argued. "You’ve got a daughter of your own at home who needs you." Eden’s face turned stony then, ’’Anne doesn’t need me,” she said coldly. ’Tve no doubt she’d much rather have Laura—or Laura’S uhconventional friends, I No doubt you’d prefer Laura yourself!” ; ; She walked away deliberately and Harrison went back to the car. 1 The anger in him was fiery and vindictive now, the young fury of the small boy who relieves himself by throwing stones. He said aloud to the empty air, "All right, if that’s the way you want it!” and slammed the car door. .> Eden Blayde had not told her husband the truth. She had not been delegated by Judge Fowler to comfort and be company for his daughter when Martha was carried out, breathing harshly, sunk in the coma from which she might never wake again. Mac Fowler's entreaty had been clothed with the anguish of desperation. "Stay here, Eden,” he had begged. "Head people off. Tell them Ellen is prostrated, tell thein she can’t see anybody, that she is too ill to go to the them anything—but for God’s sake don’t tell anyone, not even Harrison, that we don’t know where Ellen is or where to find her.” Sue Davis and the nurse were upstairs setting Martha’s room in order. Sue Davis came downstairs. “Tm going to telephone over there. It’s almost ten o’clock. I may locate the Ricco boy and get Ellen back before poor Martha goes. It would be horrible if Ellen came strolling in, all unaware, and found her mother dead. Miss Parker, the nurse, says she’s been stealing in at all hours, away after midnight, time and again. Those qhiet, haughty girls do explode tn the most astounding fashion when their inhibitions blow up.” "I doubt if you can locate, either of them.” Eden was dubious. "They’re probably out somewhere —that is, if Elleh is wjith that boy. 1 can’t seem to reconpile my idea of Ellen with that sort of thing; she was always such a dignified girl” \ "That sort often go completely oft their heads when they discover they are female.

She can probably find him.” * Sue dialed briskly, her long enameled fingernails clicking. “Thank goodness, this isn’t a party line!” she murmured. “Mac would be so embarrassed If this got out — though he certainly can’t expect to keep it tamped down forever. Even 1 have heard things. Hello . . . University? This is an emergency tall for Tony Ricco.” She gave the number and instructions for a return can, hung up and dropped into a chhir. ; The doorbell rang; again and Eden admitted a couple who displayed the anxious eagerness of friends when trouble strikes, mixed with the usual, pardonable curiosity. Eden steered them into the library, closed the door and answered their questions as best she could, nervously waiting the ringing of the telephone bell, hoping Sue would keep her voice down. “I had to He,” she told Sue when the callers left. “I told them Ellen pad collapsed and had a sedative, and we were staying with her. And aH the time 1 was in a panic for fear she’s come walking in the front door." “She sneaks in through the kitchen, Miss Parker says.** The telephone rang. Sue Jumped to answer. She barked short sentences and questions into the instrument, frowning and patting her foot. “You say he left at sever o’clock? AU right. Thank you Good-by." She hung up and faced Eden “Now what? Ricco left on a bus with the rest of the team at sever o’clock. They’ve gone to Louisians where they’re playing Saturday Where on earth is she? This thing is getting grisly. I don’t like any part of it. Had I better call Mac, do you think?” 1 ■ \ “If Ellen isn’t with that boy she must be with somebody,” Eden worried. “She wouldn’t go out at night Just to be alone, and she always comes home —so Miss Parker says. I think there’s nothing to do but wait.” “If I tried to call Mac somebody would listen on the hosptal switchboard. I wonder how Mart** is leaving her money. Poor M*c he certainly earned aU he’U get!’' “But Martha is still alive. Sue Mac was always a very devotee! husband.” Sue smirked. “Good politics, nay dear. Watch him how. The perky widow that h« feathers will catch him.” “I must go home aoon,”Edea began uneasily. “Don’t you dare run off and leave me alone with this situation! I’ll blow up after Just at long. I can’t stand mysteries. JU Ellen Fowler belonged to me, Uc have had them out dragging riven by this time. If she belonged to me—” Sue shut her lips with a snap like a turtle—“she’d quit thia foolishness or Td break her neck." Eden shook her head, smiling indulgently. These childless wonur!

Pair Os War Veto 801 l G.O.P. Banks Key To Solution Os Welfare Scrap Indianapolis, Oct. 2. —(UP) — Two World War ,II veterans who jumped party lines to vote their convictions hold the key to the solution in Indiana’s special legislative session of a financial crisis in the state's welfare department. They caused an uproar when they bolted the Republican party B and - stripped from the GOP its narrow 26-24 edge in the Indiana senate. And they saw no reason today why they should change their position. The senators, “rebels’’ \ to the Republicans and "statesmen" to the Democrats, are 48-year-old Roy Conrad of Monticello and 30-year-old Jack Stone of Evansville. They can, and probably will, force the senate to accept a compromise solution to the welfare issue postponing to 1953 the effective date of the “anti-secrecy” Jaw so the state can regain $20,000,000 a year in federal welfare aid. That action also could force the Indiana house to swing behind the same measure. If not, the two chambers would be ' deadlocked and, as Conrad said, "we’d probably be here the full 40 days.” Both Conrad and Stone believe the postponement bUI they co,authored will pass the senate. Conrad added that Monday’s house vote on a welfare measure which turned up • eight GOP "rebels” there was not a'true indication of how the postponement bill might fare in the lower chamber. "That wasn’t a test vote,” he said. "They l were voting on a question of home rule, which 1 am for.” > Stoney said he believed ’the postponement b|ll is "the best way of defeating creeping Socialism at this time” and said "there is no chance of my vote changing at the present time.” Conrad’s “40-day” prediction indicated he still will align himself with Democrats even if the two chambers deadlock. Stone said he would "hesitate to say on any question my mind is completely unchangeable.” * \ Britons' Wages Are Highest In History Wages Are Off United States Tops Washington, Oct. 2. —(UP) — The Socialist government of Great Britain has announced that wages, there have reached the highest level ever. Manufacturing industry wages since 1938 have increased 156 percent. Other classes of workers are .being paid accordingly. That sounds like a good deal for British workers, and perhaps it is. But the actual wage rates do not look so good. Socialism has not brought British wage rates within shouting distance of weekly earnings in the United Stales. The British announcement reflected wage levels of last spring. It said men employed an average,of 47.9 hours in manufacturing industries earned $22.68 a week. Women so employed earned about half that. ! The average manufacturing industry , pay of men, women, boys and girls was $19.07 for a 46.3 hour week. The United States bureau of la-‘ bor statistics reported last spring that American workers in manufacindustries earned an -average of $64.22 for a 40.8 hour week. British agricultural workers earned $16.18 weekly, top scale. Their miners earned $30.77 with allowapices. British longshoremen earned $28.31.’ John L. Lewis last January signed for his United Mine workers a contract fixing $80.75 as pay tor a five-day week. The bureau of labor statistics said last winter that construction workers were being paid at the rate of $94.40 for 40 hours. British workmen are heavily taxed and so are Americans. But the Briton also carries the burden of sales- taxes from which mighty little is exempt and which Starts at 83 percent and goes up from there. Hei doesn’t eat, sleep or dress as well as his American opposite, nor is he likely to own an automobile. Neither does the Britisher produce as much as a workman in the United States. > But the British workman lives in a welfare state, taxes him and others to help support \him with food subsidies, riiedical Care and related projects. These taxes have \the effect of redistributing the health of the United Kingdom for the benefit of those who have the least, i The British workman’s most ser-. ious problem may be that there is not enough British wealth to be redistributed to do much for his living Standard er, even, to guarantee him support in the poor style to which he how is accustomed.

Bantam Brings Out First Fifty Center John O’Hara’s huge, famous noVel, “A Rage To Live,” becomes available on 100,000 newsstands and bookstore counters this week *as the first Bantam Fifty published by Bantam Books. This fifty cents edition in a newly designed format much larger than the familiar "Bantam Qianta” and about 100 pages longer than the average Bantam Giant. Since its original publication by Random House in 1949, this work by the author of “Apifointment In Samaria” and "Butterfield 8" has been widely dis c se d by critics and enjoyed besf-sellerdom through nine printings. O’Hara, who was born in 1905 in Pottsville, Pa„ used his mother’s home, Harrisburg, as the basis for his portrait of a typical American town. The Chicago Tribune summed up the critical consensus of the book by describing it as: “a big, comprehensive, startlingly memorable piece of work. It has the spread of chronicle and the detail of a confidential report. The woman becomes more of a person remembered from life than a figure presented lin print. It would ,be hard to find any work done more soundly and sively and honestly.” Bantam Books’ first printing |of “A Rage To Live” is 500,000 copies. Metzger*' In Colorado Mr. and Mrs. John k.

Export Controls Ordered For Coal To Assure Orderly Supply To Overseas Washington, Oct. 2. —(UP) — The government yesterday ordered export controls on coal effective .Nov. 1, in a move designed to assure an orderly flow' of the fuel to this country’s overseas friends. It also set up an allocation program for coal exports, likewise effective Nov. 1. The dual program will include export of bituminous and anthracite as welP a*—coke, which is already under export control. ■ i, s Canada was exempted from the orders. The program was announced jointly by the economic cooperation administration and the commerce department’s oftk>V of international trade. They said the, step is needed “to assure that essential needs of other friendly nations are met despite inadequate vessel supply and congested port facilities brought about by extremely heavy demands for U.S. coal at this time.” U.S. coal exports now are running at the rate Os 3,300,000 tons a month. One of the chief aims of the program is to ease a severe bottleneck in port facilities at Hampton Roads, Va. The announcement said jammed facilities and inefficient use of; vessels at Hampton Roads have “resulted from concentration of foreign demands on coal shipments through there.” CHURCH HEWS First Methodist The official board of the First Methodist church will meet at 8 p.m. Thursday at the church. All members are requested to be present as important business will be discussed. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
