Gen. Eisenhower is on a potential war front in Europe, but when ht returns to the states he will actually become a target in the | nation’s biggest political battle. Sen. Joe McCarthy has sued Sen. William Benton for $2,000,000, charging his colleague with slander and libel. At that rate McCarthy might be libel for 50 million in counter suits. o— ■—o The sun breaks through every day and the tone .of sprihg be comes more prevalent.

Not all of the offices to be filled in November have candidates and these may be supplied next tall, within the period prescribed by law. It appears that farmers- are* too busy to seek office and others are employed or do not care* to make the canvass that is necessary in becoming acquainted with the voters. The pay of public officials in this size qounty is not extravagant and in most cases is less than the individual earns in employment or operation of a business.

Preventing Complications Ini Babies Os Diabetic Mothers

By HERMAN M. BUMDHEN, M.D. I DID you know we hare to make f some babies cry frequently to help j save their lives? This treatment ( is used for babies of diabetic , mothers, and helps keep the air passages clear, lungs expanded. If vou have diabetes, you have a good chance of having a , healthy baby, provided you put yourself tn the hands of a physician early enough. You' should remember, however, that infants of diabetic mothdrt have a higher death rate than those of normal mothers. dßven with proper care, their death rate is from 12 to 20 per cent. When such babies fail to get proper care, even more succumb. More Stillbirths Diabetic mothers also produce V a greater than normal percentage 1 of stillbirths, and their babies i I tend to suffer more from collapsed lungs after birth. The diabetic infant is usually * born heavier than would be expected. The entire body shows a pronounced swelling and an ex* tra large amount of fat. As a rule. ' the baby has a longer body length, longer hair, and double eyelashes. ? These babies also tend to nave twitching of the muscles, a yellowish skin from jaundice and, sometimes, convulsions Defects, such as heart murmurs and clubx foot, art also more frequent. Babies of diabetic mothers may show a condition similar to shock, caused by a shortage of sugar in the blood. At one time, doctors definitely believed that the glands in the pancreas, which produce insulin, Were overactive , n tfjGsc babies while they were

There are many North Koreans held by the United States and UN forces who have deserted the Red cause and this country does not intend to surrender them, without assurance that they will not be executed! This country believes in a Voluntary , repatriation plan and protection for all those who wish to return,to their native land. The United States cannot do less than uphold the humane treatment o’ prisoners, regardless of race or; creed. Eventually, the cawie of right will win. o—o— Absentee There is a story told of the man who never fixed his leaky roof because he couldn’t work onit while it rained and there Was ho need for him to do it when the sun shone. Sometimes it Seems as if Americans apply the same sori of logic to their handling of national affairs and needed During World War II there was considerable agitation to grant . v servicemen the, right to Vote by absentee ballo<ts. Many states passed temporary enabling legislation to allow such Voting. The •J 5 !* ’ idea was that when thingssquleted down seme permarient rtiUng on • I v ? i? ' I voting by servicemen \wpuld be made. Yet, seven years after the end of the war, over I onehalf of all servicemen will be ineligible to vote. Most of the temporary ’eghlation has expired without ) ing renewed. In twen y states absentee baltt will not be malted un‘.|l 30 days before the last daiy tljat such ballots can be returned*: It is stimated that it requires ; 45-days to get the ballots td| pie servicemen and have them returned.

still in the womb. The extra insulin was thought to cause the shock condition seen at birth. Recently, it has been shown that this overactivity probably does not occur. J ' ’ |' •> The best way to Protect babies from these complications is to keep the mother Under; careful control during pregnancy. This combines proper prenatal care with control of her diabetes; Excess Fluids Drained The care of the child depends, of course, on the exact conditions and the judgment of the attending physician. Care must be £aken after birth to drain any excess fluids from the lungs and clear the air passages. The stomach is also emptied, and treatment is continued every two or three hours for the first 12 hours.! This is also the time when the baby ? may be stimulated to cry often. Often, the doctor may advise that the baby be kept in an incubator for two or three days to regulate the body temperature and supply oxygen continuously. He is given no fluid of food for the first 48 hours. However, if the blood sugar is too low, doses of glucose are given by bijection, /it is most important that all diabetic mothers be kepi under the doctor’s care throughout pregnancy, and that proper treatment be administered to the infant immediately after birth. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. J.: Does the sun cause cancer? J i ili Answer: In certain occupations, , where there is. excessive exposure to sunlight over many years, the sun is thought to help, stimulate i the growth of cancer cells In some >. individuals. : __

Such an alliance is unthinkable! 1 CHAPTER FOUR •TO CHANGE the aubject," Henn continued, “L saw that Calvert boy thia afternoon with his uncle. He’s here tn the city.” Heloise took a last spoonful of the tee cream. "For good?” she inquired. •That’s what rd like to find out,” Henn; said. "1 suppose Antoinette will know. The Colonel,” he added, hating to admit the fact, “goes to see her sometimes." '“Well, Brother," Heloise said, "until you find out that he is going to be here tor good, don’t worry about It. to the first place, Leonie has probably outgrown the—the attachment. An d in the second place, what can’t be cured must be endured." She put the sauce dish and spoon cm the window sill and took up her sewing. "You must be careful now not to plague Lo - onie about IL You forget bow wilful she is" In the absence of his niece, Henri - carried in his mind an image of her that was little abort of perfection. He frowned. **l wtsh you wouldn’t always criticize the child,” he said. “And as for opposing any association between them, it’s my plain duty. I can't have my niece going with the nephew of that blagyard.” “You’re too hard on the Colonel, Brother.” Heloise said. As Henri could not discuss the Colonel without excitement, he muttered “blagyard” again, turned, and went downstairs to do a few vocal exercises. Somewhat chastened by confession, Miss Julie sat down to supper with tier daughter’s family in a pensive mood. She fortified herself with scrambled eggs and muffins as if she wewa expecting a famine. “I met Henri Lemay on King street (today,” she said, “looking like a plucked chicken, as usual.” Henry O'Daaucll, Mias Julie’s

"Well, child,” she said, “I’m not Sure I’d'jfeel too sorry for him right now. Henri is riding a very high horse these days. He was on his way to tell me that some New York lawyers have written to him that there’s a fortune in the family and he thinks we may all be rich before very long.” She laughed heartily at the very idea. “Os course I knew all about it. Henry, you ought to do something for the poor fellow?’ Henry O'Donnell shifted his great frame and leaned back in his chair. His reddish mustache pricked up as it was likely to do when he was challenged. "What can I do for Mr. Lemay?” he inquired. "He has a Job. I haven't got\a better one to offer him. And you can’t offer him any other kind of help. He’d be Insulted." “Henri is a good fellow,* said Miss Julie, charitably. "He has the reputation of being the most honest man In Charleston, and he writes a beautiful hand." ' "The trouble is that he’s signed too many notes with it,” Henry said. "And his very honesty and innocence will get him in trouble one of these days." ’ Criticism from Henry found Miss Julia 'ready to defend her kin. p “Tie r a lot of money/’ she said, “lor ti.t t • yul.

"That’s different,” she replied. .“You’re rich.” "1 am not rith,” Henry said quickly. “Far from it,” He glared at his eldest son. Who was making the humorous gesture of putting first one hand and then the other over the opposite fist. "That will do, Joe,” he suggested. \ "What 1 was getting to,” said M|ss Julie, when order had been ■ restored, "is that Henri has this i new bee in his bonnet now. He ■ asked me if Theophile Lemay, his i grandfather's third cousin once re- . moved, had been rich.” ' "Well, was he?” Henry dc- ; manded. "That,” said Miss Julie, "is bell side the point.

Henry asked blandly. "And I don’t like your use of the word ’swindle* about something concerning my family,” said Miss Julie. *Tm sorry/* Henry said. "However, there are a good many cases of lawyers making money by thia sort of thing. They need so much for proving descent and so forth, ahd by the time they get it it always turns out that the government has taken over the money for taxes." "Weil, I must say," Mise Julie declared, momentarily sidetracked, “they’ve got a lot to do cheating poor people tike that,” "But they do,” Henry said. "If i X were you, Miss Julie, I’d try to persuade Mr. Lemay not to have i anything to. do with thia business. If it’s on the level the lawyers will i be anxious enough to make somei thing out of it and they'll probably 1 do ail the work on a contingent I fee—a percentage of what they , collect.” "Maybe if Cousin Henri gets all ’ that money hs’ll marry Miss Ani toinette Fielding,” Joe suggested. “Don’t make fun of the poor old ’ gentleman, Joe,” Henry said, ■ directing a frown at his son'and then at Annette, who was choking . with laughter.
