Tnkp Ynur Sun In Small Darm I
(| By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. NOW that hot weather has returned, we must be caretful not to overdo in exposing ourselves to the sun. /- Among the severe complications of overexposure to sun is sunburn, one of the commonest 1 injuries of the summer months. Usually, we can avoid sunburn by using discretion in the length of time we expose ourselves the first time we go out for a tan. Heavy tanning oils may also heap prevent severe burns. Sunstroke is another severe ‘ complication of overexposure. In this the heat regulating mechanism of the body seems to toe overwhelmed. T May Be Warning Sign Bunstroke usually corned on .■ suddenly. In some cases, however, there may be a warning sign bej fore the stroke—a headache, dizziness, a desire to vomit, or ever} j some disturbance in vision, such as spots before the eyes, or a blind spot. ' ■ , fl : When the attack occurs, the person loses consciousness su 1denly. His face becomes flushed, the skin dry, and the temperature extremely high. In some se - vere cakes, it may shoot up to 109* degrees. Pulse Irregular / In the early stage of sunstroke, the pulse is very rapid. However, after a time the breathing and pulse may become extremely irxegulan Many victims do not survlve. As a rule, if a person sur-

President Truman, at the request of the governors of Kentucky and Tennesee has alloted $3,000,000 in emergency funds to provide feed for dairy and beef herds in those states,. Assistance -to the farmers of the drouth stricken regions will continue until the disaster'has been checked. o- o- ; Polio cases reported in the United States the past week totaled 2,290, not a record breaking jiumber but sufficient to put every community on the alert. Evety • jhing possible is being done to iheck this cruel disease which for a decade has caused so much suffering, especially among the y Children. . o o The Boy Scouts and Scooters Who have been enjoying a trip to Washington, D.

Engle has brought sorrow to bis many friends here. A former rural jhjall carrier, Bill, as he Wai'familiarly known had many j. : _ r «■ .8 friends in this community. Death came suddenly from a hjeart attack while visiting with a son, John, in Michigap where he was vacationing. His daily visits down town will be missed ,by all who knew him as a fine companion.

In addition, the, memory is usually Impaired for a! short period. A case of sunstroke I may also damage the heart, and a 1 heart attack may occur following it. Think About Prevention If you become aware of the danger from sunstroke and think about preventing it, you won’t have to worry about treating it. Excessive exposure to sun should 1 be carefully avoided,* and a person should increase his exposure time gradually, day by day. Prompt attention is needed, however, once a case of sunstroke Occurs. Ice water sprays, ice bags around the body, and, even an ice water enema may be used to bring down the temperature from a dangerously high level. * While the person is recovering, he should have a physician to watch his heart carefully, as well as his general physical condition. AND ANSWERS T. S.: I have a cousin who constantly avoids talking to people and looks out the window laugh- ■ Ing to herself. What could be her trouble? |Answer: It would seem that ypur cousin is suffering from some type of mental disturbance, most likely a form of schizophrenia, or split personality. Itwould be advisable for her to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible. L j > ’ ' A J . ‘ i

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN BLAISE felt a deep sorrow for Melanie. She had spoken sincerely, seeing her mistake, making, this last eager grasp for a happiness. Hope and love glowed in her face and her eyes. Had this happened two months before, Blaise might have taken her away from Conejo. But . . . Rennie. And now, in this moment, Blaise found that he could not destroy Melanie’s dreams. Perhaps, later, quietly withdrawing, he could bring her to understand. His face softened and he kissed her, tenderly. She responded so swiftly that Blaise hastily stepped back. “You’d better get those things put away ... in case Mark tomes back.” “But you and I . . .?” She left the question expectantly unfinished. “I —something will work out, somehow.” She took it as answer enough. She replaced the documents and returned them to the high shelf. Blaise walked back to the kitchen, picked up the coffee cup and drank deeply. When Melanie came out, he stood by the door, hat in hand. “Leaving so soon?" “I think —I’d better.” “When will you be back?” “Soon.” I She stepped close, lifted up bn her toes jand kissed him again. »“Very soon, Blaise. I’ll wait.” He ducked out the door ahd walked with swift, long strides to his horse, and swung into the saddle. As he rode northward, his thoughts moved in a giddy whirl. He felt ashamed for himself, and yet justified, too. He recalled the deep surge of sympathy and understanding he had felt for Melanie, but —he no longer loved her. But Mark? Leonis had said to find the man who bought land, who traded, sold and quietly acquired the Valley acres. Blaise* had found that man, now. Blaise understood why, years before, Mark had worked to have them ail surrender to Leonis. The King of Calabasas, Mark must have shrewdly realized, could drive rivals off but he could never wholly possess the land. Then the flood and the drought had curtailed Scorpion’s expansion. Mark had profited. \ J But where did Slim Starling’s murder fit into the picture ? Blaise couldn’t fathom that as yet. Mark had suddenly left home just at the time that Vasquez had fled from the hideout, Montanas riders on his

■-* heels. As to the old Chavez murder, Blaise saw -it in a new light: Mark had coveted Chatsworth land and Chavez had owned a good deal of it. .4 Mark might logically have placed the incriminating gun and belt in Blaise’s shack without suspicion. He could then have sent word to Leonis, who had moved instantly to remove one of his most dangerous opponents. That made sense, though actual proof was; lacking. What of Melanie? She believed Blaise would return for her. He shook his head. Now he need not fear exposing Mark, if he was the real murderer. But Melanie would discover that Blaise could not takb. Mark’s place. She would have lost twice. Blaise rode through the pass and drew rein looking down on Calabasas. He could see the bam behind the grocery store, the guards. Men moved in and out of the store; A knot of them stood under the big bak tree. Blaise’s lips pressed and he set the horse to the descending road. He entered the town sitting easily tn the saddle, eyes sharp and searching. He passed the blacksmith shop, noted the loafers about the open door. They were fresh from the range. They stopped talking and watched him as he rode by. He passed a hitchrack, lined with horses, noted the Scorpion brand. So Leonis had come . . . in strength. The old man planned something, and the old suspicions flared up anew, strong and powerful. But reason and the knowledge he had acquired in the Conejo in r tervened. Leonis simply planned direct and fast action, typical of his swift way in the past. “Blaise!" He drew rein. Hal stepped from the livery stable and waved urgently to him. Blaise kicked the horse into a trot and rode into the yard. “Leonis rode in. He’s at the ' saloon, holding powwow with some of his boys.” Blaise nodded and turned the horse over to the hostler, who glared at him and reluctantly accepted the reins. Blaise walked out the gate and across the street i to the saloon while Hal hurried 1 away toward the barn. Leonis sat at one of the Case 1 tables, a few of his riders close about, some of the merchants. As : Blaise entered the men turned. I Leonis smiled. “Randell! We’ve been waiting! r ' ,j ' .

He glanced at his foreman, the storekeeper. “I’ll see you later, .noys. The sun’s warm on the porch.” ‘ A {The\ men moved slowly to the dqor and out* Blaise pulled a chair around.

But I think my man is tied in with Vasquez, You mark my word, Leonis, Vasquez will strike again and on orders from the fellow I know is at the bottom of all this devilment." ?• You’re just guessing, I’d say.” “More’n that, Leonis. I know who ‘my man’ is. He knows what’s happening here.

He told Hal to stop worrying. The Scorpion sepundo walked from the saloon to the store and gathered the' men on the porch around him. They listened and then moved in a body back to the saloon. “For a drink,” Hal said and sighed. “That means Leonis is keeping his bargain. I’ll rest tonight.” *l’ll stand your turn,” Blaise said. “Vasquez may m’ove any time.” fWb ain’t got enough to hold him off,” Hal warned. “You forget Scorpion’s In town.

CRUISE (Ceatlaned From Psge Owe) dred pounds of coffee were consumed daily by the men aboard. Each evening, moving pictures were t In the line of communications, the ship has everything from radio to radar. Short wave circuits transscribe press dispatches from the press 'Wire services in the states and foreign capitals and the daily Badger Bugle prints the news. There are 410 stations listed in the ship’s telephone directory. In Ship Shape Cleanliness is the watchword aboard. Every sailor is familiar with the “Plan of the day” order, given in navy nomenclature, “All compartment cleaners scrub trash cans,” and “Clean sweep down fore and afr. Scrub down all weather decks.” Nowhere; is the trueism “Put things in ship shape” mbre aptly applied than aboard a man-o’-war. i ■ .

The oil re-fueling and transferring of supplies toother ships -is a unique operation, demanding deftness in handling of ropes and-cables and ingenuity in operation.’ More than 25 ships were re-fueled at sea by the Wisconsin, which also took on oil from the big tankers. A Death Aboard Life cannot be lived without its share of sadness and a ship does not escape this period in human existence. A death occurred aboard the ship, while anchored in the Brest harbor. A 39-year-old Chief Petty Officer died unexpectedly of a heart attack. His body was taken to Paris arid then flown to his former home in New Jersey.

In this account of ship life and casual gleanings of the cruise, I> have mentioned only a few of the high spots. To file unitiated, as in my case, the cruise and visits to foreign ports and cities, has not only been a memorable experience but an A few months ago I did not dream of taking such a jaunt, i \ v ’ The Wisconsin’s .Guests In “learning the ropes,” as they say in the navy, I had Seven civi ilian “apprentice companions.” A retired navy captain, with many years of experience at sea, also was a guest. Their professions and business associations identify them as outstanding educators and citizens of the United States. Close association with them was indeed one of the distinct pleasures of the cruise, together with the acquaintance of many splendid navy gentlemen. In this American navy, one finds not only defense of freedom power, but stalwart manpower and gentlemen. The group comprised:
Captain Oliver L. Downs, USN.i retired. Prof. Raymond C, Adams, chair-) man, department of mathematics, Brown University, Providence, R. I. Dr. Harvey A. DeWeerd, chairman, department of history. University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. The Rev. Edward M. Dwyer, O. S. A., dean of Villanova College, Villanova, Pa. Dr. Robert H. McCambridge, administrative secretary, University of Rochester, N. Y. Prof. Samuel R. Schealer, head of the department of electrical engineering, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenp. Dr. Vernon G. Sorrell, dean, college of business Administration, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, N. M. William E. racial relations officer, U. S. iPublic Housing Administration, Chicago. The educators represented colleges and universities that have Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps on the campus. Each professor made it a point to personally meet “his boys” and pose with thepi for gro.up pictures. In the assignment of guests to the ships, it happened that I was the only newspaperman aboard the Wisconsin. A number of edi1 ' T.V? . I
tors and publishers from Illinois, lowa, Minnesota, Texas and Massachusetts were aboard the USS Des Moines, Macon and Saipan. Other guests on these ships included, the ■ Rev. Henry F. Bolgqr, C. S. C., head of the department of physics, University of Notre Dame, rind Dr. Glen L. Jenkins, dealt, School of pharmacy, Purdue University. All were guests of Admr. Holloway at a reception held at the Navy officer’s club, Guantanamo. A Friendly Ship i. Individually and as a, group, we were impressed with the attitude of friendliness shown by officers and enlisted men to Visitors and citizens of foreign countries. Our impression, after patching on the side lines, is that Capt. Bruton is a diplomat of first rank. He is supported in this friendly Ameri-can-way by officers Hand crew. Friends aboard were cultivated with a touch the “Hoosier” homespun philosophy. When in port receptions and • parties were held for foreign government representatives', consulates, provosts digpataries. Orphan children, school children and citizens were invited and Entertained aboard ship in Scotland and France. g :r
First Sight Os Land Before this rambling diary of my experience at sea is brought to a close, I must attempt todivest myself of a mental plattire that lingers in fond memory. We had been at sea two weeks when on a Sunday afternoon, there loomed a background on the horizon and someone called, Land! It was the mountainous high coast of Ireland. Within me there was excitement, for basically I am a land lover. Trees and landscapes thrill me. The next morning the great steel lady of z the sea steamed through the Firth of Clyde and there was the picturesque Scottish coast. A hilly terraih sloped to the sea and from port or starboard on the ship, one could see buildings of storybook architecture. Creep hillsides and pasture lands adorned the landscape and I thought, can anything be mbre beautiful? We anchored in the Clyde at Greenock, a city many centuries old, with hilly, narrow streets and rows of apartment houses topped by chimney pots. Every building is built of stone; later structures are fashioned in brick and stucco, but there are no frame dwellings. On Scotland Tour On the Scotland tour we visited t ' ' I ~ . k
SATURDAY, AUGUST 9,1962
■—"l W" ■ > li* d Glasgow, a great industrial and ship building center, which seemed to be enjoying a building boom. The. Scot is a hard worker and men trudged along from job to home. In the queenly capital city of Edinburgh, we visited the old Castle, which is so many centuries old that even the guides confused the dates by a thousand years. We toured the castle, even to the dungeon, and were convinced that it represented an age long past. We walked on Princess and Queen avenues and traveled the Royal Mile to Holyrood House, where Queen Elizabeth was in residence. Her Majesty had arrived a few hours ahead of our party j and a large crowd of Scotlanders greeted their Queen. From the cities, we toured the Ixich Lomond and lake areas. For sheer beauty and wildness in countryside, there is no place quite as entrancing as the Tross&chs country. We visited the Land of Burns, via the old CuUean Caatle, which the Scottish people presented to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. Dick Heller In Paris f By special train we traveled from Brest to Paris with 650 Midshipmen, sailors and officers. The highlight of my visit there came when I stepped off the train and a voice called, “Hplt.” There, towering above the men in blue, was epi., Dick Heller, son of Mr. and Mrs; Dick Heller, who came from Augsburg, Germany, on leave front the Army, to spend-three days ip one |of the world’s most beautiful cities. It was the verbal greeting I had from a Decatur friend in six weeks, and Dick hadn't seen anyone from home in nearly a year. Well, we had a real old fashioned reunion. Dick is in perfect health, expects to be in Germany ang&her 18 months and probably does more traveling than the directoys of .foreign tours. » ■ A Magic City We Visited the historic church and shrine of Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral, walked down the aisles and knelt for a moment on one of the - chair-like kneelers. We toured a portion of the vast (metropolis. Even the great number of tourist booklets, pamphlets and. pictures issued on Paris, do not do justice to its unique and beau-_ tiful streets, museums and public buildings, although many of the latter are weather-beaten. A feeling of awe was sensed as we walked under the Arch of Triumph, gazed in wonderment at *Eiffel Tower and stood aghast when we viewed what must have been the original splendor of the Palace of Versailles, the creation of several fabulous kings! of the Louis period, plus the touch of Napoleon. The extravagant rulers spent with a lavish hand in creating this wonder of world show places, largely built by King Lpuis XIV. Three Days In Cuba The fleet, with more than 15,000 men,i including qfficers, midshipmen and crew aboard remained in Cuba in Caribbean waters for three days. Following the gunnery practice demonstrations, anchors were hoisted and with increased speed, the ships of the Navy’s largest summer training cruise Jieaded north for Norfolk. I Thoughts Os Home But all the thrills and pleasures of a restful cruise at sea, the making of new friends, visits to foreign lands, viewing vistas along the routes that were enrapturing, enjoying the privilege as a guest of the Navy—all were great .. . but not equal to the joyfql heyrybeat within me as the Wisconsin steamed through the channel between Cape Cod and Cape Menry. Ahead lay Norfolk and American soil, and the pier from which I would begin my first land leg to-" ward home, that place cherished in every man’s heart as more wonderful than all the wonders of the rest of the world. Acheson Returning From Anzus Parley Returns To States ( After Conferences SAN FRANCISCO, UP — Secretary of State Dean Acheson, returning from a meeting In Honolulu with the foreign ministers of Australia and New Zealand, was scheduled to fly to Washington today. He said he was confident the conferences had strengthened relationships among the Anzus nations. Acheson, his wife,' and a party of aides arrived here Friday night in an-Air Force Constellation from • Honolulu. The secretary said he “had a successful trip” and promised the United States will continue to work toward tire goal of freedom for all Pacific nations. He told reporters, “I have had a frank discussion and exchanged views with Australian and New Zealand foreign ministers. We met and organized the Anzus council created under the security treaty between our three governments. I believe the work of the council will lead to even closer relationships among us.”
