The saddest thing about the younger generation is when you find you’re no longer a' part of it. 0 o Old fashioned school bells may <not ring, but the days are clicking off rapidly toward the] opening of school. 0 0i— All favor the fellow who invented summertime vacations. Many would like to have soriieone devise post-vacation vacations to help in the recovery to get back to work. * —O-p-0— An acting postmaster will be named ,for the Berne post office within the next several weeks and a permanent appointment made following the required civil Sejv- _ ice examination for applicants. Congressman E. Ross —Adair, while visiting here said there was much interest in the appointment, that will fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mrs. .Arthur Zehr. who served 20 years iithei Berne office. Although no definite statement was made, it isjpresumed that a Republican will be named to the postmastership. \j f ' 0 0 ’ j Major Gen. William H. Dean is the prize prisoner of the Reds in Korea, and while he nor the American army would not ask preference in the prisoner exchange over a G. 1., it is believed the Communists are holding him as a hostage. Evidently the Reds intend to hold their most famous prisoner as a pawn in the event' trouble arises over the repatriation of. North Koreans. The general will take his medicine, and the country !hopes that he and other gallant men outlive their days in the Chinesfe and North ' Korean torture stockades. | 0 o—— LArt Wall, Jr., a young golf pro from Pocono Manor.

Don't Neglect A Slight Cold; It May Be Really Serious

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. THOUGH it may only seem like a slight told, it is a good idea to consult a physician regarding upper respiratory symptoms, especially if a fever is present. They pan be the signs of one of the most frequent cancers that can occur in man, cancer of the lung, j One reason for the small number of cures of this disease is the fact that many bf the cases are not diagnosed until it is too late. A recent study showed that an average of ten and a half months elapsed between the time the patient had the first symptoms r of cancer of the lung until corrective’treatment was undertaken. It was found that many patients had persistent cough, loss of weight, and even hemorrhaging from the lung for many months before consulting physicians. Most of these complaints were attributed by the patients themselves to bronchitis, smoking, or other such causes. It is art important fact that even minor respiratory symptoms, particularly in men in thfelr fifties and sixties, may be the onset of cancer of the lung. / In persons developing sudden symptoms of coughing or spit-

where a few years ago massacres had almost reached the point of. open, war, are quiet now. The . Arab states and Israel, sqill hostile, are less violently so. If the Arab refugees from! Palestine could find their economic sufferings relieved, the danger of an explosion in this quarter wquld be .greatly reduced. There still remain the conflicts in Korea and France’s Asiatic territories, and of course there are the seething ccAibtries behind the Iron Curtain. But taken as a whole, the international scene seems moie hoper 1u1.3 ' ' —O-—0 Clarence E.. “Pat" Manion, former dean of law at the University of Notre Dame, has been named chairman of. the Commission on Inter-Governmental Relations to study the. overlapping field of federal commissions. A former Dem-, ocrat, Mr. Manion was critical of New Deal policies and campaigned against certain functions of the federal government., He is the aurhor of the book, “The Way to Peace". He has steadfast opinions and has a brilliant way i» his cause. He should ffo<i a rewarding field in his presidential assignment for his vast energies and capabilities. 0 o Developing Alaska:— Alaskan railroaders could get up quite an argument as to whether their country's climate or congress were more of a handicap to their railroad. Perhaps the answer will be discovered by the road’s new Frank E. ■ Kalbaugh, a division superintendent of the Southern Pacific railroad. The railroad Was a project of PresTtaent Wilsdn's administration, though construction was not completed until 1923. Its 356 miles are built on a partially frozen roadbed which buckles in cold weather. Running through half a dozen mountain ranges, it is subject to slides of snow, rock and mud throughout the year. For a long titne it badly laid out with curves, and had poor equipment. These defects were remedied under the Truman administration, and!in 1951 daily passenger service was begun. Roundhouses 'and terminal equipment have been greatly improved. Now the road is in position to pay' its way, which it has never done before. It had better because in the near future it will face competition from, new highways like the Alcdn. Alaska will need a combination of the two, it it is to be developed.

ting up of blood, a physician

should be consulted immediately and X-rays taken of the chest. This is st symptom that should lead the physician to suspect the presence of a tumor. Sometimes there will not be any lung symptoms present, but complaints of tiredness, fatigue, vague pains, and gradual loss of weight. A chest X-ray often reveals a tumor or <cancer in these cases. It is belleveid that if routine chest X-rays done as a preventive cases of cancer of the luHg could be detected early enough to do some good. If a case Os cancer of the lung is diagnosed early, surgery can be performed that, in many cases, can save a life. T QUESTION AND ANSWEIT D. P.: I have little bony knobs on my fingers, and I have difficulty and pain in moving the fingers. What is causing this? Answer: You are probably suffering from a type Os osteoarthritis. The exact cause for this disorder is not known* although the presence of infection somewhere in the body is a contributing cause. It would be best for you to consult your physician in regard to this disease.

Is it necessary, when taking l&iVe of a group to which one has been introduced, to bid each one “good-bye” separately? A No. A cordial , “good-bye" with a smile that includes everyone is all that is necessary. ' .Q.

, CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO DURING the two weeks the shop was Closed Karen came almost' every day; ttoiee Frank was with her, once to cpll, in the early evening and again onto Sunday morning. She came, when alone, at any time, either mornings, leaving by noon, or for long afternoons. Karen liked to talk and to listen. Gradually he leaned a good deal about her. She had a deep regard 1 fdr all living things, especially children and old people, for the hurt and unhappy. And for animals. "I’ve never been to a zoo but I’ve seen pictures. I couldn’t stand seeing animals in cages. I’ve never Wanted to visit the fox farms around here or to pass the place where they keep little bears chained, summers. I don’t even like a circus!" He found himself telling her about Em and her work. “That’s wpnderful,” she said. "She must be such a good woman.” "She’s all of that.” “Helping the children, that helps her,” she said. "Yes, I suppose you wonder why I don’t do something to help myself?” She nodded. He had talked to her about Tim. "Sometimes, Mr. Barton.” i "I have tried. I do try.” "Perhaps the way will come to you,” she said. During this time he often dreamed of Tim, but these were pleasant dreams, no barriers between, no frustration or terror. Simply they were together somewhere. The background continually altered, it could be a workshop or the Daleway corridors or the river cottage. Sometimes he dreamed of sounds: Tim’s feet on the stairs, his voice and laughter, the sound of oars in quiet water. Karen came one day, and he did not go from camp to greqt her. She went to the point and set up the elascl, reflecting that he was out on the river or in tlies village. She sat for a time idle in the sun. She had greatly liked the past days, looked forward to coming here; she had never met a nicer man than David Barton. He was fun to be with, friendly apd understanding. And her heart was heavy for him because of his unhappiness. He made you think, too; sometimes they argued, often disagreed. He had a wider outlook than any she had hitherto encountered, more of a horizon. She re- ‘ spected his judgment. He was old enough to be her father, although not sold as her father would have been had he lived. She had really never missed having a father until now. Not that she did not like her stepfather, but she’d been a grown girl when he and her mother married. She thought: Tim had been fortunate. She thought a good deal about Tim. He was ’real and clear to her. She wished that she could help his father. Looking toward camp, she saw a shadow move aerpss the window. Leaving her things, she went to the back door to knock! and call: “Are you there, Mr. Barton?” "Yes. Cckne in.” She went in, spying: "I thought you weren’t home. What’s the matter, are you Sick?” He was lying on a couch, where the sun didn’t fall, and looked drawn and For the first time

since she had known him, he IpOked his age and more. "It’s just a headache, Karen, a form of migraine. I’m subject to it “I’ll be all right. I got up a moment ago and took a powerful pill. I didn’t look out the window and had no idea you were here." "My mother used to have dreadful headaches. Does ice help?” ' "Sometimes." ' She went to the shed, found a small piece of ice and took it to the sink. "Do you have an ice cap?" He told her where it was. She ,came back, the ice cap in a towel, and gave it to him. "Have you had anything to eat?” she asked. "No. When I woke I couldn’t get up, and when I did, well, it was too much effort—besides, f didn’| want anything.” "Couldn’t you manage tea and dry toast? I’ll make them- Please let me?” He said, smiling: “I have no choice,” and lay still, content to hear her moving quietly about and presently the singing kettle. Whert toast and tea were ready, she asked: “Can you sit up?” He did so, dizzily, but his headache Was better. Karen made him comfortable against pillows andi as he ate and drank, sat beside him, her hands folded. “How about you, Karen?” he asked tardily. i. > \' “I’ll be going homp soon,”. she said. “It’s early still. Is the tea all right?” , "Fine. Thanks to you and the pill I feel almost human. Did I tell you my brother-in-law’s a good doctor? Karen, you'd make an excellent nurse.” “I’d like to be a nurse, but it’s a little late, and besides,” she explained, without resentment, "it’s doubtful that a hospital would accept me for training. But Aunt Marne’s taught me quite a lot.” “Maybe it’s as well didn't attempt to train; it's a rugged life.” ’ “I know. Hut I feel useless.” “You’re the reverse: think of the people you make happy — your aunt, your friends, myself included, and of course, Frank.” “I'm not sure about Frank.” She took his cup and plate, “Why don’t you rest ?i Maybe you could sleep. I’ll go back to the point for a while and then sneak away so quietly you won’t wake or be disturbed.” “Don't go yett Why did you say that about Frank?” he asked. “Well, he wants to marry me." “And you don’t want to |marry him, Karen?” “I’m not sure, Mr. Barton. I think I do, often. I’m so foipd of him. Other times—it’s all pretty mixed up. Then,” she went on earnestly, "he talks of going away, perhaps to Chicago, where he has relatives. 1 suppose there isn’t much future for him ip the bank here and he’s ambitious.” "Is that why you’re uncertain?” “Partly. He thinks I’m stub-, born, wanting to stay here the rest of my life. He says I’m able I to live anywhere. But I wouldn’t be happy, Mr. parton. And I am happy here.” She looked at him soberly, frowning. /‘Aunt Mame would like me to marry Frank. She doesn’t urge it, but I know it would please her. My mother likes him, too. I—Mr. Barton, how do you know you’re in love?”

“It you don’t know, you aren't, I qxpect,” fle answered and sat up. The dizziness was gone, as were the darting lights. He said: “I'm all* right now. You run along and! get some work done before you have to go. And thanks for everything.” She went, but hot before he had seen her eyes widen with the suggestion of an unexpected hurt. He sat quite still for a moment and then put his head, which ached dully, in his hands pi the ojd, tuple gesture. He had not bargained for this, the impossible, the hopeless. But h.efe it was. There was nothing he cotjld do about it, except to ask why. Why did this have to happen? He tried to rationalize. I wah, I am, lonely, and she is kind and gentle; she is very young and mefrry; her face changes with her thoughts. She laughs easily; perhaps she cries a* easily. I don’t know. I know she has courage, and yet is afraid. I suppose she has faults: as yet I’ve not seen them. And she is strong, with a kind of mountain strength. • She is 22 years old, but I’ll be 46 soon. • Now he recalled with horrid clarity, like a mental, wire recordings a day during the summer before Tim’s death, when a letter from a school friend recorded that his parents were to get a divorce; because his father had fallen in lovi with, and wished to marry, a mutq younger woman. * “Well, gosh, what an old fool!” was Tim’s comment. !- She likes me. She likes to be with me. But 1 don't believe for a moment that she’s in love with j me, he thought. Yet-t-if she could He’d seen at close iquarters several marriages in which there was a marked age discrepancy. They’d turned out well. I don’t feel 45—46. ... Who does ? A man looks into a mirror and. is affronted by the false reflection. He admits certain facts that are evident in the body, warning signals, a lessened vigor, an inability to take as mutjh pUn- : fshment in work or pleasure; and in the mind caution has, to spme extent, replaced impulse, the selftaught discipline is ruler. But apart from body and mind the inner self is not persuaded. And so the ego, denying the evidence of the physical eyes, the evidence of d,sober mind; the stubborn ego, repudiating the years. I could give her so much. What is much? The material endowment? Not this alone, never merely this. Beyond it, the fairy tale unfolding. She sits there, beyond the windows (but I will not Idok out to confirm this) and paints the running river, the leafing tree, the pure horizon where the mountain’s bulk lifts to the sky. This she could have in abundance, the best teachers, and the immense, paintable world, unrolling like a bright skein before her eyes. , | But her world is here; it is smalt she is afraid to leave it. She could be persuaded, surely? It wpuld take time and patience, but could be effected. If she loved hie, it might not be difficult; if she loved; me, perhaps there would not ’ even be that problem? . ; (To Be Continued} STI r I “ — '

Veto Power Is Held By United States 4 Chiang's Plans Os Invasion Are Key WASHINGTON, UP — The United States today held a virtual veto power over any future plans of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek to launch a major offensive against Red China from his island strongheld on Foriibsa. In a secret agreement that has just come to light, Chiang promised to consult the United States in advance df any large-scale, action designed to’ win a foothold on the China coast or nearby Red islands. Sjnce Chiang gets most of his military supplies from America it is felt that his would not be likely to go dhead any attack that the United States opposed. The unusual check-rein on Nationalist operations resulted from apprehension in administration quarters that Chiang might undertake -action . thafet±w®uld prompt strong Communist retaliation agaihst Formosa. \ Inforriiants; said negotiations for tho agreement begah several mdnths ~ ago< when the United States decided to ship F-84 Thunderjets from!
