Board of health figures show 46 cases in Indiana up to June 20, compared to 27 in 195®, a recordbreaking year. Offutt said recording of cases may be better this year. He said his belief was "(based on the fact that with the use of gamma globulin we can expect to get more cases reported.” He saiu me blood derivative is iq widespread use in the state. Offutt said the current scorching weather may increase the number of cases. ‘Children and adults, too, can get more fatigued in this kind of weather . . . and as a result be more susceptible,” he said. Children from firve to 10 years of age have been hardest hit so fgr. Seventeen in that age group have contacted the disease tfais year according to health board figures. Polio has struck children from one tq fqur years- and seven adults were reported qfflicted. Os those cages, 17 were reported paralytic, eight were nun-paralytic and 11 ■were unspecified. Offutt believed it was too early to tell whether the use of gamma globulin would out the number of cases below Jast year’s all-time high at 1,374 between January and November 15. Authorities made GQ available to children under 16 an,d expectant mothers who have been exposed. So far there have been no seripus concentrations of infantile paralysis, authorities reported. Highest local concentration was in Vanderburgh county, where nine cases wer e reported Others weep widely ocgttered. ' - Figures from last year showed a drop in the mortality rate of the crippling disease. Only 32 persons died, despite the high rate of illness, representing about three per "cent of those stricken. Norma! mortality ratg in past years was about IQ per cent. — i f i ■J * j Turn 'em Off BUFFALO. N. Y.. UP—Mrs. Ida GiesCz has two light budbs that have been burning for 17 years.

Officw Writes Os Prayer Before Death Writes Final Letter { Before Patrol Death OHBOAiGO UP — 4 yptmg army lieutenant, foreseeing' his own death on a dangerous patrol, seized a moment in the last hours of his life to write his. wife of his prayers that ‘‘they will sign a truce so these young kids can get away from this blood and death.'” Lt. Jamos Ford, 25, felt what was in store for him when he sat down Juqg 13 to write a “Igst letter” to his wife in Chicago. “I have been picked to go on a 12-man patrol with the mission of capturing prisoners and enemy equipment,” he said in a letter revealed today. ‘*We will be going deep into enemy territory. “This will 'be my last letter to you. That I know, because it will not be mailed unless I am killed tonight.” iA few hours later Lieutenant Ford, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and a law student at Chicago's University of Loyola, was dead on enemy ground. His letter showed his last hours were filled with hopes for an end to the Korean conflict. “Pray that all this shall end scon and always remember that I love you from the bottom of my heart.” he wrote his wife“This is a brutal war and I uray each night that they will sign a truce so these young kids can get away from this blood and death. “They are thrown in here at 18 and 1® before they even know what lif e l s al l about. It’s a cruel way to have to grow up.” He told his 35-year-old wife, Jean •*>l have no fear of going on this patrol tonight.” •U dpn't mind going if it will help in the smallest way to make this messed-up world a better place to liv e in."

Lessen for Jane 23, 1953 Everybody with a grain of sense wants to be happy. Most sensible people also know the kind of happiness they want, though some of them have not yet found the way to get it. What we really want is a happiness that will hot melt in the rains of “misfortune;”

will not slip from our grasp in the nights of sorrow,: will not be blown away by the winds of disappointment. What we want, in short, is happiness that will last. Furthermore, if We are grown persons and not we want a happi-

ness that goes much deeper than the surface. We don’t want one that is tied to things. We warit : a. happiness that reaches the inside of «our lives and is not a mere glamorous finish on the outsidej Handicaps Os Happiness That very practical friend of Gott and man. Saint Paul, is a solid example of hdw true happiness can prevail over the most disheartening handicaps, if any a man in his situation would say to himself: Happiness is jijst not possible for me. If things were orjy different, I could be happy. But consider the ? handicaps of Paul'S happiness. He was a Jew in the Roman Empire, and a Christian among J^ws— a member of a minority group either way you take it. He was in a situation where his future was most uncertain. If Paul had waited for “security” he never would have known happiness to bis dying day. He was never a well man; at the time of the Philippian letter he was a prisoner. Freedom, health, security, power—he lacked all these. But he did not lack happiness. If Paul could find happiness, so can any one. L’• • " H The Christian Secret I If happiness is a secret, it is an open one. You do not have to join soma order, the|re are 1 jo auefi, you do not have to mak«; some tremendous pilgrimage t«‘ learn the secret of true It is a secret known to Christians,and the Christian brotherhood it ao closed fraternity, its doors are wide open as the gate of heaven. Paul put the main point into three Greek words which in English mean: “To live is Christ.” What ae meant his life showed plainly. ’ For one thing, he looked out at the world through the eyes pl Christ. Nothing could quite discourage him, take the heart out o! him; for he was as sure as Christ is sure that this is God’s world aiid “He is the ruler yet.” His handi were Christ’s hands* his work was Christ's work. One of Jesus' last words was “—that my joy may be in you.” Paul knew what that meant Furthermore, Paul's whole lelf was devoted to Christ. He knew that his life, Uncertain as i|was to himself, was not uncertain to God. lie knew himself to be gripped by the power of the Son pl God. He knew, he was a son of destiny—not his owii destiny alone but Christ’s. So he could face the future as our Christian poet Whittier faced it. , : • • • Why Aren’t All Christians Happy? A prize-winning photograph was taken by a news photographer in Louisville, Kentucky, a year oi two ago. All he d.U was to take an unposed picture of a street comm ' where perhaps 25 persons wete ' waiting for the light to change. Not a happy face in the lot. Is it possible that not one in that group wfe j a Christian? On the contrary, it 1 Is most likely that a majority di those unhappy faces belonged fc church members. It looks as if we were wrong in saying that happiness is a Christian secret. No, the truth is that plenty Pl. Christians have not yet discovered It Many Christians are like peapie who have inherited great wealth and do not know it or de not dare to believe it. They In church, they believe in “God the Father Almighty;” but weekday! they show that they either don't believp He is almighty, or don’t believe He is truly their Father. They ting, on Sundays, “I’m the child of a King," or “How firtn a foundation,"—but on weekdays they act • as if they were orphans in the universe, they are as wobbly as ii they had no foundation at all. They sing, maybe, “Standing on the • Promises,” but if you asked them ‘ point-blank, “What promises oi God are you standing on?” they, would not have the least idea, be :ause they didn't mean what the' ’.ana * A flag neglected means flagging patriotism, _ — A war with no idea behind it is brutality.—Garfield.

Dollar's Real Value Is Far Under 1943 Ike Administration Undergoes Criticism, WASHINGTON UP —The Eisenhower administration Is having a tough tlnjp trying to starch, the U. S. dollar, or buck, which has come more and more to resemble wilted lettuce* with purchasing power to match. The big labor unions, a platoon of Democratic senators, and others have denounced the administration’s efforts to curb inflation as a plot to favor the banks — higher interest rates and such. Everybody likes money but mighty few understand it. And those who do usually are unable to explain money in terms which mean anything to the mau in the street or to a newspaper reporter. But the street man knows his pork chops cost a lot more now than they did some years ago and that a nickel won’t buy him a pay station telephone call any uiore--at least not in this town. He can do some backtrack reasoning from that point to a conclusion that something must have happened to the dollar, because chops from hogs are uuchapged ii weight, or flavor and a telephone pall is absolutely unaltered, except in price. What happened to the dollar began happening in the niid-Thirties when FDR took the country off the gold Big government spending, treasury deficits, World War 11, and the subsequent years of phoney peace have done the rest. All ti>e Eisenhower administration js trying to dp Is to reverse the trend, and those who claim to knpw say it will take 10 years or more to do it. Balancing the budget is one way to do it. Increasing interest rates is another. Bbtß will be used. A bank has come up with some interesting figures showing how inflation can smack the little people who have a bit to save and put their money in a good safe spot.

such as U. S. savings bonds. 7 They are safe enough. But the; man who bought a 3100 bpfid in 1943 for an outlay of 375 in cash bought himself a bad investment. In real money he lost at the rate of 31-80 a -year. The National City Bank computes it this way: When the 1943 bond matured this year and was cashed, the owner paid a minimum of 35.55, in income lax on the 325 difference between purchase price and maturity price) That left him $94.45.' But since 1943 the dollar, itself, had slumped in value by 53.6 per cent. That “inflation tax” reduced the real value of the bond proceeds by another 332.96. The maturity value of the bondj less income tax and “inflation tax ’ in terms of 1943 dollars was 361.19, which is 313.51 less than was pai/ tor the % bond 10 years before. In other words, it cost the buyer, in real value, 31-80 per year to lend 375 to his government. Always Working COLUMBUS. Ind., UP—Edward L.
