Chubby little Prince Charles, as heir apparent to the British throne, need not worry about a job and at the age of three, probably isn’t concerned over his new royal status.

Those who have tried shoveling snow the past few days, hope the equipment meets city requirements. ——O— —o-m,. Two of former , queens reigned many years. Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne when 25 and reigned for 45 years.

Tonsil Removal Not A Routine Health Measure

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. “WHEN should our child have his tonsibs out?” this is one of the most frequent and 'important questions a physician has to answer concerning children’s health. Tonsils and adenoids should not be removed at alh unless there- is a definite indication, such as an infection, that this should be done. The removal of tonsils, in part.icularft should riot be considered a routine health measure. When there is evidence of definite infection, the best age, according to many physicians, to have to tonsils removed (tonsillectomy) {•> is in the fifth, or sixth year, if it is possible to wait until then. ■.« Neither tonsils nor adenoids should ever be retrieved While the patient has a cold" or other infection. ; The tonsils and adenoids/ ft is believed, protect an -infant j while he is building up his resistance tri infections. A newbokn child in*i herita from his mother certain de- . senses against disease, but rtopidly lose> them. It takes him some time to build up his own resistance by reacting to infections in his environment.. Tonsils and adenoids ate made of lymph tissue. A principal function of this type of tissue is-to localize and combat infections throughout the body. The tonsils'and adenOids have a strategic spot ii this defense system—the throat) and back of the nose, which is exposed and extremely vulnerable to] infection. It lias been noted that.anany childrtn who have hud tbfeir tonsils removed fiave later suffered from lung infections and t’ronehitis. Spme authorities believe that these disorders may be due to destroying ' ' '■ i ' ‘ ''l ' -

Southern Democrats are opposed to granting statehood to the two territories on the ground that it would give four more Senate votes to the factions which h; iUrl I ’ support President Trumann's civil rights program. Although most experts place Hawaii ip the Republican column, it i$ believed that Hawaiian senators would vote with the northern Democrats and the Republicans who favor ■J ?"

this barrier against infection. : In spite of the fact that the lymph tissue at this point Is so important in fighting infection, from time to time we; find certain Conditions which require the removal of' the tonsils or adenoids, or both. As a result of recurring; infection, tonsils and adenoids grow in, size and fail to return to normal. One of the most urgent indications for removing them is seen When these enlarged growths actuaiy interfere with breathing or swallowing. Adenoids may also impa Ir Rearing jby blocking the tubes tl lat lead from ear to the*nasal portion of the throat. . ’-J Other serious conditions arise when those growths continue to harbor infections which may become active when the body resistance is low. It is necessary to remove the tonsils when chronic infections bring recurring* attacks of tonsillitis or abscesses Os the; tonsils. Chronic sinus infection, due to oversized' or infected also calls for removal of thesie growths. Many doctor? believe tonsil iflfection may cause certain kidney, heart, and rheumatic diseases. Tonsillectomy may therefore be indicated in these conditions. but only if the torisiW are definitely infected, f . j . The doctor will decide in each case whether or not the ttjmsils should be removed and, if removal is necessary, when the tonsillectomy should be performed.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE THE HYMN. The resumption of seats by the crowd at the Union I Service. The thin edge of wondering what was coming next Barth could feel it He had calculated the change of pace right, he told himself, and, in,a clear and resonant voice he addressed the halt "I would like, at this point to throw this meeting open. I would like to have some of you participate tn talking with us here.. I would like you to give us your ideas on how we can let God rule tn the field of ordinary living. Mr. Edwin Shute? What have you to say to us tonight?” Edwin Shute rose in his place. His loose-hung figure and his nasal twang were familiar. He was not wholly liked, for he had waged some fearless campaigns In his paper through the years. But he was respected. . J He said he felt it was unfortunate that the news which was printed, not only in his paper but in all papers, was usually of a catastrophic nature. That good news seemed always to be so tame, so dull, that editors believed it ' would not interest the public. Was | there not, he wondered, something radically wrong with human beings that they desired to read only of the disasters that befell mankind? . . Barth rose as Shute sat down, i "Thank you, Mr. Shute. And now I am going to ask a beloved and I well-known citizen, Dr. Thomas Alcock, if he will speak a few words to us. Dr. Alcock?” The doctor’s stocky figure drew everyone's attention. "It’s not my business to make speeches,” he said. "My business is to heal the sick. But tonight, listening to all that’s been said and thinking about all that's happened here in Crestwood lately, I’ve been wondering if our people aren’t sicker in head and heart than they are in body? We’ve been told that we ought to choose our leaders with care. Well, we’ve had good leaders here, but from all I can gather, we’re planning to let some of our best ones go.. Why ? It isn't clear to me yet. AH I can say is that to depose leaders without the reason being sound isn’t good sense. It's sure proof to me of head-sickness. Or hcart-sick-ness.” He paused and his sharp glance stabbed the crowd before him. “I can’t cure such sickness as that. Only God can. Well, I come pretty close to God in my work. I’ve seen Him perform some pretty wonderful miracles. And it’s my belief that if you’ll give Him a chance, if you’ll let Him into your hearts and heads, this—this malady that's been’ tearing our town apart lately will be healed quickly and healed right!” He glared around a moment'longer; then, abruptly, he sat down. ■\ Up in the balcony a girl rose. “I will speak for the. young people!" Heads turned at the clear fearless voice. Helen • Twing stood there. . “I’ve been asked to voice the thoughts and feelings of my generation,” she began. "Well, I think I am giving you the truth when I say to you that my generation is confused. Tet^Hy! cons used- We would like to believe in out elders. We would, like to, trust them. We would like to follow them. But we find that a very difficult thing to do. "Perhaps, to make it clear, I should be more explicit. Here is an illustration. We have been taught, some of us, by the best teacher we have ever had—” Loud applause from the gallery. Cheers. Whistles. Stamps. Helen waited for it to die, then went on.

And to know this difference, we hive been taught, is essential to good citizenship. And good citizenship is one of the objectives of education. But no sooner are we taught this than the teacher, who has trained us to begin to be the' good citizens we believe you want us to be, is removed from his' position! He is removed from the position of trust to which you, our, elders, originally elevated him! He is removed — from all *we can gather—because of what he has taught us! It seems, then, that you do not like our being trained question and to inquire. Should we, rather, be educated not to think ? Not to act in protest when our thinking leads us to no other alternative?” Applause from the gallery echoed now to some extent in the auditorium. But Helen, with dark eyes flashing, was in no mood for applause. / < "May I suggest that we just might find away to improve" our educational set-up so that a teacher who is hired for his special abilities is not fired for proving he possesses them! And so that a Superintendent who is empowered to engage a man in th© first place is not refused the power to re-en-gage him! If you trusted his judgment once, we ask, why not trust' him again?” “I do not say these things tonight to stir up a recent controversy. I say them because we, the younger generation, are bewildered. We are lost! We liaVe been listening to you exhorting us all to help create a better town, a better state, a better nation. Yet when you have given us a leader who has shown us clearly how to. do just that, you then take , him away from us. We wonder, therefore, if a better town, a better state, and a better nation is what you really do want? Do you honestly want us to develop into capable leaders?! Or do you want us to develop into puppets? Tell us! Because right now we can’t be sure.” Constance looked at Barth and saw that during Helen’s speech ha had turned up his coat collar, as it drafts from the wings caught him in the back of the neck. Forgetful of this now and with it stilp upturned, he stood before the microphone, his face clearly showingthe tension he felt. “My friends, now we will hear from our guest speaker. One of ypur own townsmen who has gone on from Crestwood to serve in a larger sphere in our state and who, no doubt, will progress to still broader fields of influence. His interest in the steady improvement of our society has already been demonstrated by his action in behalf of school salaried. He carries in his heart and illustrates in his life the ideal we have tried to bring before you tonight—God in everyday living. My friends, I give you the Honorable Lucas Bannerman.” "Folks,, it’s good to be here with you all again,” he began heartily."It’s always good to come back to little old Crestwood. Every time I do I’m prouder of it than I was before. It’s growing. And it’s growing in the right direction, I’m, glad to say.” •1 consider,” Lucas continued, "that this meeting—this gathering, together of al! denominations here tonight—is a great, a unique happening. I am proud of the leader we have among us who conceived the idea. “Youth is not the only group that is bewildered,” ho declared. "I hope T am not taking too much on myself if I speak for my own ...

generation and say that we ar< bewildered, too. Bewildered—and worried. We carry heavy burdens* And we know we make mistake A- - hope and belief and prayer is , that we rectify these mistakes when we discover them or when we have them pointed out to us. My concern is that, here in this, town, we ask ourselves if we havedone or are doing that.” 1 He paused. "We must be cleat In our thinking as we must be wise and vir- ; tuous in the selectionof those who are to lead us in 1 our thinking. Someone said once; ’Let us endekver to think well For this is the principle of morality.’ "I think those words are true. And they pring us to the joining tof the two; main points that have ■ been stressed here tonight. Let US think well,: citizens lof Crestwood, ? In everything we do, before we do it, and thus maintain in our com-' munlty life the high moral tone that reflects the teachings of the greatest Leader we have ever had.” There was a short silence, Then Lucas spoke again. < "I would like to feel that Crestwood is a town where jealousies have been where the grab for power has been aban- • doned, where errors of judgment have been corrected and decency and justice and kindness and love* rule. A town whose example will* shine like a candle in this dark and wicked world." ? He returned to his seat. Barth rose when Bannerman concluded his speech and invited Mr.; Johnson to lead in a brief prayer. Then Barth stepped forward again. "Let us sing ’God Bless America,'” he suggested quietly. “ Everyone rose and sang. - When the song had ended Barth raised his hands. From where she sat,? Constance could see their trembling. It was over. . , Suddenly a voice from the stage called, "Dr. Alcock! Dr. Alcock!’’ Constance knew that it was Barth who needed him. Barth was sitting in his favorite cotter on the side porch wrapped in yards of mosquito netting. This served two purposed It helped to protect him from th® little breeze? that still found him out in spite of Donald’s having ! moved around (the storm door from the front to the east study waß. And it protected him from the mosquitoes which always sought him out while leaving Constance and Anne strictly alone. Swathed in the stuff from his feet up, and with Only his face peering out from the stiff voluminous folds about his head, he looked like some enormous cocoon. j • "Eftit it’s much cheaper than screening the porch," he said now to Anne, who had made the remark about his appearance. “Furthermore, I consider it an entirely appropriate costume for June. A, sort of bridal outfit. Indeed, at' an unexpected wedding cerentony I had to perform the other day, I almost offered it. The bride, a lovely girl, happened to say she, had always wanted a white wedding. It was just on the tip of my tongue to answer,. ’You can have it? But I thought bettet of it.” Anne laughed. Dad was back ,in his old form. Only the care with which he moved these days, to save his tired Mart, and a certain thin fragile look, gave any indication of the long battle he had had with pneumonia. ■ She said, “Is the clam chowder j ready? Have you made it?” "I have ’created’ it. Why will J you never remember to put it way? It is, I would have you’know, a culinary Work of art.*! (To Be .■. TIT ! ” i ' ,■' ■ ? . i i - <
