On Solid Foundation: Decatur is always interested in acquiring or inviting new factories and industry to its family circle and no active or progressive community ever discourages any attempt to interest manufacturers > in the advantages offered by the municipality. We do not want to stand still, nor do we believe that Decatur has stopped growing, for it hasn’t. Energetic and able young leaders have hopes of 1 interesting manufacturers in locating plants in this city, or within proximity of its corporate borders. In this endeavor all business and civic groups should move unitedly for a greater Decatur. In looking from the inside to the outside, we should not overlook how well off Decatur is in having - several productive and outstanding industries. Decatur wants factories because they employ people and people build and maintain (homes which prop* the community. There is the General Electric Company, recognized as our largest employer. A new motor is being fashioned and revamping of the local plant is underway. The Central Soya Company is the largest soybean processor in the United States and its vast installation at the north edge of the city is an inspiration to everyone. The Decatur Casting Company is one of the leading foundries in America. Its modern plant is operating full time. Distinctive are the two novelty works in this city. The Wayne Novelty Company recently built a new plant and Decatur Industries has expanded its production facilities.. The glove factory of The Schafer Company hums each day with record production x and employment. The Krick-Tyndall Tile Com--pany is one of the largest tile plants in this section of the state. This list includes only the major manufacturing plants in the city. In addition we have the municipal utilities, the gas and telephone utilities, a good bank which well serve thejcommuhity. We have our churches and schools and these worthy institutions are expanding with the growth of the cify. Our county hospital may be enlarged. All these are factors in forming a good town. We can do much in helping employment and encour-

Mental and Physical Activity Imoortant in an Old Aae

By HERMAN N. BUNKSEN, M.D. WE have all known people who showed a change in personality in old age, losing much of their mental powers and effectiveness. This deterioration is probably at least in part a matter of mental outlook and emotions, not a weakening of the brain itself, though changes in the brain do occur in old age. ' These changes in the brain are part of the general body changes of old age, when the bones become more brittle, the skin wrinkles, and the glands waste and lose activity. Brain tissue also shows some atrophy and loss of action. Os course, the amount of such changes varies in different persons. Useful Citizens The brain, however, retains ample resources for mental vi gor in many persons. Many old poor pie are useful citizens who cun take full advantage of leisure time, carry on their usual professional or business activities, and remain prominent in life. Others, however, on passing middle age, let themselves faU by the wayside, losing interest, not trying to work, and finally showing a total deterioration of personality. They have little ambition, do not carry on their work, and become completely dependent on others. A common emotional disturbance in older persons Is depression. This is brought on when the person feels he is less capable, looked down on. and ha* »o place

. ! T1 aging industry to expand existing plants by continuing the friendly spirit for which Decatur is noted. —0 0 - Driving on U. S. highway 27 north of Decatur on a moonless night in a rain is like playing hide-and-seek on wheels. Swish, a big truck goes by and if you are not*sideswiped, you take courage for a minute and hope for the best at the next hill. This road should be widened, if highway safety is an objective. -—0- 0 Presumably punch boards, pick and win “cookie jars” and other > so-called gambling d&yices will not be permitted in club bars in the state. The Alcoholic Beverage Commission has cited a number of clubs for having these gaining devices and it was pointed out that clubs in Gov. Craig's home town were not eliminated in the commission's order to cease play. Violators are threatened with revocation of licenses, so the clean-up will probably be permanent. I —0 0 Former U. S. Senator Robert F. Wagner, father of the Wagner Labor law is dead. For 22 years he was a leader in congress and his labor law brought him national fame. More notable than his political prominence was his rise as an American citizen. He was a German immigrant, coming to this Country when a child. His ambition and love for his adopted country , carried him to the heights of political powdf and authorship of the nation's first important, labor law. ——o- 0 Estimates of the value of oil and gas deposited under the water along the coastal states run as high as three hundred billion dollars. No one knows what astronomical value means, but in comparison the federal debt is arouud $260 billions. In passing the tidelands bill congress gave away this national asset to the bordering coastal states. If the credit of the United States was questioned previously, the transfer of these national Resources will not strengthen 'Mie government’s balance sheet. Passage of the bill-1 was predicated on a campaign promise and now the pay-off has been made to those who promised votes for oil. ft will be the surprise of t|io nation if a national scandal doesn’t incubate from the oil deal.

h- — f.. w in society or his family circle. He , then has a tendency to fix his ideas oh the past in order to es- . cape the present. The depression is thus a form of personal secu- \ rity for the aging person. I Activity Important 1 The older person should keep • active both mentally and physi- ’ cally, drawing from his wealth of experience and using whatever s resources he has left. He should 5 eat the right foods in proper ■ amounts, exercise moderately - and get enough sleep and relaxa--1 tion. This wifi pften help to pre- ) serve his mental status, even I though his brain, if examined t very carefully, might show some t degree of damage. \ l The healthy attitude is one ip which the person gains pleasure from everyday events, and is able . to accept a certain amount of economic insecurity without re- ’ gret or envy, ‘or a sense of guilt , Some can make this adjustment themselves, others must be i helped to make it In this way they can make a practical adjustment to living in old age. QUESTION AND ANSWER A. H.: Is a duodenal ulcer able without surgery? Answer: A duodenal ulcer, which is an ulcer of the first part , of the intestine, usually can be cured medically. Maay new drugs that act on certain nerves to de- - crease the amount of motion and . acid produced by the stomach, ; thus helping to cure the ulcer, are , aids to the doctor in helping to ► tgeat this condition.

'i SYNOPSIS Bill Canalli's acquaintance With Janey Nelson had been brief back there in Philadelphia, but for all that he'd fallen in love with this nice, demure Chicago night club girt She had given him a key to ner apartment, daring him to come to the Windy City and to use that key some time! And so he'd taken a leave from tite sleuthing Job tn Philadelphia and we find him now seated alone at night in Miss Nelson's abode, impatiently awaiting her return from her night club, chore. Here presently he is joined by a stranger, a whitefaced. somber man who says that he too must see Miss Nelson tonight As both men sit\ in sullen silence, the telephone rings and Bill sprints to answer its summons. Over the wire poure Janey** voice a terrified voice, saying that she is in trouble, trapped, managing to whisper a street address. CHAPTER FIVE HE WAS a tall thin man, the homicide cop, a red-head with pale freckled skin, and the manner 01 a slightly suspicious room clerk. His name was Devlin, and he did the routine things slowly and care- * fully. When he was through talking with the landlady, and examining Janey’s body and, her handbag, he said a few words to a uniformed cop and then put a hand on my > arm and ushered me out into the ' corridor. The room was crowded enough by that time with print men, the coroner and two othei uniformed cops. I was glad to gel out; every time I looked at her body 1 felt something wild and ugly roaring through my head. “You found her, eh?” he said. "You have a date with her, oi something ?” “You could call it that I gol into town this afternoon and went to her apartment She called, said she was in trouble, and asked mt to meet her here.” Devlin digested this, sorted it out. "You’re not a native then?* “No; I’m from Philly.” “What kind of trouble was she in?” "She didn’t say.” . I .■ “Mow’d you happen to know her?" "I met her in Philly four month* ago.” “I see.” He rubbed his long freckled jaw. “You liked eacfc oarer pretty well, eh?” "Pretty well.” He nodded. “Well enough for yot to make a thousand-mile trip tc see her? Or did something else bring you to Chicago ?” "I came to see her.” “It wasn’t no casual thing, eh?* “Os course not We were soul mates.” ( ■ • I “Don’t take it out on me,” h< •aid. “I’m doing a job. What kind of work do you do in Philly?" “I’m a bookkeeper.” “You don’t look like one.” “Sometimes I have a pencil behind my ear. That helps.” Copyright, 1862, by D

Fasfer Delivery Os Mail Being Planned \ |. Asks Public Help Speed Up Service -WASHINTON, UP r The post office department thinks .you can help speed up mail service? The department is planning a campaign to "inform the public how to get better Use iof Uie mails.’’ a spokesman said today. There are several ways tfte public could help improve service “in ide own self interest,” the spokesman said. And it wouldn’t jicost a cent. I | ' For one thing, wider use of zone numbers in addressing letters would save postal workers time in sorting the mail. Some 125 cities have zone numbers, bilt Only about half the mail in those cities carries them., ;■ Business firms could help by posting their mail several times a day, instead of dumping it all into the mail boxes at 5 p.m. All mail users could insure faster delivery

"Okay, you’re mad,” he said. “I guess 1 don’t blame you What’s your name, and where can I get in touch with you?” “Bill Canalli. 1 haven't checked in anywhere yet. I’ll call yodi when 1 get a room.” | f ' "That’ll be okay.” He frowned and looked at the backs of his bony freckled hands. “The landlady says the girl came in about six. ThiS girl made a phone call around seven. That was to you, I guess." “The time checks.” “The girl went back to her room after making the call. Anybody could have come in then and followed her up there, the landlady says.” "Without being heard? The old buzzard popped out like a ettekoo when I showed up.” “She says she was in the kitchen doing some ironing. From there she can’t hear people coming-in or out.” "That must kill her.” * \ “Yeah, she seems like that type.” Devlin sighed. “Well, the girl’s name is Jane Nelson, which 1 guess you know. She’s got an apartment on Shoreham street, and her brother lives on the South Side. I got that from some cards in her wallet. The brother lives on Kenildale avenue. I’ve sent a car out to see if he’s home. Kenildale used to be a nice street, but it’s running down.” Devlin shook his head at this and walked back into Janey’s room. I leaned against the wall and lit a cigaret. The anger I’d felt was gone now, but 1 was as full of hate as a man could be. The timetable was what was driving me Wild. There was only an half-hour; lag between the time I’d talked to Janey and wh¥n I walked into this room. If I hadn’t stopped to shake the man named Smith off my tail .. . I. -• . If - - • Janey, baby, t’U find the skunk who did this to you. Don’t worry about that, Janey. A troop of photographers and reporters came up the steps a few minutes later. They looked me over without any curiosity and then tried to push their way into the room. The coroner shouted at them and they shouted back, pleading that they were on deadline, that this was a natural, and so forth, and finally Devlin let them in but told them to keep out of the way until the doctor had finished hts work. 1 dropped my cigaret on the floor and put it out with the toe of my shoe. Devlin seemed like a nice guy and there was a chance he was nonest. There’s always that chance with cops. But I dd. Mead & Co., Inc. Distributed by

of their letters by mailing them before the last collection of the day at their neighborhood mailboxes. Faster delivery, of: the mail is one\of the main goals in the department’s drive to improve postal service. Most complaints it receives concern “slow” mail, the spokesman , said. There is “little or ho” public demand to restore the twice a day home mail* deliveries. ; ’ In an effort to speed mail service, the department f recently started v a “test operation" here in Washington. If it proves successful. the spokesman said, the same service will be extended to other parts of the country. In Washington, postal Workers are collecting mail as late as 11 p.m. Formerly the last box collections were made at-8:39 p in. The late collections save as much as a day in jnail delivery time. The department expects a survey of mail service in New York City to result in a “number of improvements.’’ which may be applied to other areas. Also under study is “mechanization” of mail handling of the post offices as a possible means to speedier service.

wasn’t trusting him or anyone"else. I’d take care of this one myseif, in my own way. My methods would never earn me a nod from the Humanitarian’s league, but they usually got results. ' Ten or fifteen minutes later Janey’s brother came up the stairs, panting and looking worried, With two uniformed cops behind him. He was twenty-one or twenty-two, a tall, clean-cut-looking boy with thin handsome features \and a crew haircut. His clothes were standard collegiate; gabardine topcoat, gray flannel slacks and a sport "jacket over an Oxford-cloth shirt with button-down collar tabs. He went into the room and stayed about sixty seconds. When he came out he looked as if be were going to be sick. Devlin was holding his arm tightly with a thin white hand. “That's your sister, eh?” Devlin said, trying to get the job done before the boy collapsed. “Yes—that’s Janey,” the boy said, in a low, incredulous voice. • Devlin looked at me and, to change the subject,suppose, introduced me to h*F brother. His name was Bob, and his hand in mine was limp as a piece of spaghetti. ' “You know her??’ Bob Nelson jaid. •) “Yes, I was a friend of your sister’s. I knew her in Philadelphia." “You must be Bill Canalli then\” he said. “She told me about you." He stared at me, as if trying to memorize my face, and then he wet his lips and yawned. I noticed that yawn with a sudden prick of interest. Devlin missed it, I saw. "Who’d do a thing like that to her?" Bob Nelson muttered. “It—it isn't natural." “The police will find out," I said. "They’d better,” Bob said, in a high, breaking voice. He stared at the floor and rubbed his face with his hands. When he took his hands down his eyes were bright and . alert, but I saw him stifle a yawn. He turned to Devlin pleadingly, and said, “I don’t have to stay here, do I? I can’t stand this any more.” “Go downstairs if you want, but stick around a minute or so," Devlin said. “I’ve got a few questions to ask you, and then you can go. That okay?” “Yes, Til wait outside,” Bob said, and turned desperately to the Stairs and went clattering down to the hallway. , \ “He’s taking it hard,” Devlin said with a shake of his head. Cops are always coming up with beauts like that. What did Devlin expect him to do? Break into the drinking song from Traviatar (To Be Continued) iiag Features Syndicate

Governors Parley With Ike Praised Termed Beneficial To Mutual Problems - Washington, up — President Eisenhower’s experiment ip briefing; state governors on national and world problems is likely to be repeated. y The conference which brought governors of 50 states and territories here on Monday and Tueswas such a success that' Mr. Eisenhower and his gubernatorial guests expressed mutual hopes it cani b e done again. b& time or date was set. The governors’ annual meeting, to be held at Seattle In August, is a possibility. Mr. Eisenhower has beep invited but has not said whether he can go. The President and Gov. Allan Shiyers of Texas, chairman of the governors’ conference, said the federal and state leaders all benefitted from the discussion of mutual problems. Many of /the governors were impressed 'with the up-to-the-minute reports on international affairs, defense mobilization and how it affects hopes for balancing the federal budget as, a step toward tax Reduction. Tdxes, including the overlapping of federal and state levies on gasnlinj and clgarets. were discussed “in 0 general way” at the closing session on federal-state relations. Gov. George N, Craig of Indiana predicted the \ Eisenhower administration would work closely with the states to abolish “wasteful duplication of and the next four| years will see many federal pow’ers and functions transferred to tie states “where they rightfully belong.’! “With expenditures ,for national defense now taking 66 percent of national tax monies,” Craig said, “it ig> difficult to see how the budget |ah be balanced until many of the < federal-aid-to-state programs are Abolished.” imsumce | Present Address i Pvt.,Norman Lee ’Edwards, son of Air. and 'Mrs. Gerald C.
