Lp—-. oBeginning December 3, local store* will remain open every \ Wednesday until 9 p.m. The Christmas shopping schedule also \ includes opening of the stores on Thursday afternoon, beginning the week after Thanksgiving. industrialists and business experts foresee prosperity until the middle of 1953. We doubt if the present prosperous wave slackens much during the next year. If prices drop a little, new buying will keep the, factories running ' and America is still a long way 1 from being built to the top. o- O’Santa Clads will arrive in Decatur Saturday, Nov. 29. It will be the. official opining of the - Christmas season and a big day for the children. The Jolly Old Fellow of immortal fame will have a treat for all the kids and will hold forth in the corridor of the court house during the afternoon. . - J o——o— John Foster Dulles, interna-. tional lawyer and. personal friend of Gov. Dewey of New York, will head President Elsenhower’s Cabinet as secretary of state. Sen. \ Taft will not be too happy over . the ; appointrhent For several : years Mr. Dulles served as an assistant and adviser to Dean Ache-. • son and framed some of the ad- 1 ministration’s foreign policy. His Republican opponents claim that he is too global in his viewpoint on international affairs. .-4 i ? o o . • Gen. Eisenhower agrees completely with. President Truman \ and the administration’s policy of ' protecting Korean war prisoners. The president-elect is against involuntary release of the prisoners, which is the same stand long held by the administration. No one ever doubted that Gen. Eisenhower differed with Mr. Truman on this important problem, it being one of the subjects discussed by them in Washington. ' . °\ George N. Craig, newly elected governor who will 5 assume office next January, gives evidence that he is politically am- , bitious and wants to climb the political ladder. His plan to reorganize the state’s government is the most elaborate, scheme since' , Paul V. McNutt revamped the administration of public affairs and

Reducing Is Vital To Health

By HERMAN H. BUNDESEN, M.D. » MANY people regard reducing as just a beauty problem. Doctors know, however, that the health problems of reducing and over.weight are becoming Increasingly important. Why? Because certain diseases . today put a penalty on the person who is overweight. Many living today can remember when tuberculosis and pneumonia killed large numbers of people every year, as did the infectious diseases, especially diseases of children. In the over-all picture today, these diseases have become less frequent causes of death. J. - . v •, Diseases of Age The diseases whlchj cause most deaths today are those of middle and advanced age, Including diseases of the heart and, blood vesaels. About half of all deaths are from these and associated disorders. Among people over 45, they cause an even higher perce> tftge of deaths. Overweight is one of the most Important conditions leading to diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Men and women are also living longer today, so more people, reach the age when they put on extra fatty tissue. This in turn' hastens the diseases I have mentioned. When we Attack the problem of overweight, we will also cut down the amount of heart and blbod vessel disease. _■ . -

’ instituted tso gross Income tax plan. Since a governor cannot be " re-elected to a successive term in the state, Mr. Craig may have hi* eye bn the U. S. senate and become a candidate for the place held by Sen. Homer Capehart. In the meantime, he will have to further his popularity by giving the state a good administration. Men in his own party may block his ambitions during the next four years. ft, ’ o——o The press ; services frequently • carry stories of lhe finding of large sums of (money in abandoned houses or in old living quarter* ■ ■' ■' v i ■ ■ ■ ’ ‘ Where former occupants were thought to be penniless. Often fortune* are found in-secret hiding places and heirs receive the windfall. A case in point Is revealed in a town in Missouri where a young boy entered a house and In ransacking the attic, found a box containing 315,000 left by the wife of the man who owned the house. The boy started out to have a big time on his newly discovered riches, but was apprehended by police-before he dissipated the funds, ' The husband; will inherit the money, which would not have been discovered if the young chap had not unlawfully entered his former home. There are safer places for stashing away money i than In tin cans and attic hideouts , o o—■ — Fail 4s Citizens:— The government j has taken action to have Thomas. Luchese* known in the underworld as “Three Finger Brown,’’ Reported, to Italy. He is a naturalized citizen but there"Ts evidence that he made false statements in applying for Citizenship. It is always necessary to protect the rights of naturalized citizens; with' the same vigor that is used to protect the native born. But wherever there ’is evidence that Criminals entered this country and obtained citizenship through • the u*e of fraud or deceit, the government is justified in deporting them. America welcomes immigrants and honest men who wish to make new lives for themselves here have unparalleled, opportunity. But wife cannot allow our doors to be open to evil men who would defy oar laws and prey upon our tolerance and generosity. There Are foo many' deserving men and women in Europe who would be grateful for the chance to come • here and become good citizens, to allow criminals to enjoy sanctuary here.

> At least fifteen million adults above 35 are overweight, and this is one of the most frequent difficulties found in persons examined by physclans. The-overweight person usually has a greater tendency toward high blood pressure. Almost 60 per cent of people with diabetes were overweight before the onset Os this disease. Close to half the people with gallbladder disease are overweight. Kidney diseases : are also more frequent in such people. Statistics show that the fat person takes greater risks in childbearing and surgery. It is also found that extremely fat people have a much higher death rate than those who are moderately fator normal. The only type of death in which they have a lower rate than those who , are normal or underweight is suicide. It seem* that plump people are happier. , - From this we can see that too mueh poundage tends to shorten litq arid leads to disease. It is well to watch weight to keep welh QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS F. &: I am 67 years of age and have recently lost my sense of taste and smell. What can I do? Answer: It is not uncommon for people to lose their sense of taste and smell as they become older. In most cases tfiis loss is permanent and it is dpt possible to correct it. . v- ; ——-

O. Sellerneyer. I also read Thoola Polings letter, and agree whole heartedly with it. '' This year is the first time I have ever voted for President 1 voted Republican. If there had been a man on the Democrat ticket that 1* thought could do a better job than Eisenhower, I would have voted for him. Not just any Republican or Democrat. It seems J. O. Sellemeyer would vote Democrat, no matter who or what was running. I don’t think that shows very good sense or good citizenship. , I also heard that since we have a Republican President there will be, a depression. 1 remember the last depression, and we ate, (■EVen’if it was beans.) The people worked together then and we would all be better off if we work-’ ed to-gether again and said a little prayer once in i while. ! i I imagine the boys in Kor>n would like eating their beans with us and let the Big Wigs shove the guns. Do you have a son or loved ones in Korea J. O.t President Eisenhower will have a big job ahead of him. He only has 4 years to build up what the Democrats took 30 some odd years to tear down. I believe if Truman and his administration had kept his nose' out we would not be in the mess we’re in, to-day. 4 Every since I can remember we have been in a war or talking about
