Epileptic Seizures Can Be - ? j Caused By Damage to Brain
By HERMAN N. B’JNDESEN, M.D. EPILEPTIC seizures usually begin early in life, in childhood or - young adulthood, but they can occur for the first time in later < years. Late appearance of the ' seizures especially calls for a thorough physical examination, for these late seizure are often caused by conditions other than epilepsy. | ■ i , Damage to Brain When convulsions appear past the age of thirty-five, it is believed that most of the cases are j due to diseases in which progressive damage to the brain occurs. I In many instances, the underlying cause may be a blood clot of one of the blood vessels Os the brain, or a brain tumor, or, for some unknown I reason, self-de-struction of parts of the brain, however, it has been found that high blood pressure, head injuries, and severe alcoholism may contribute to the occurrence of these attacks. Forewarning of Attack In many instances, an epileptic knows when an attack 14 coining by such signs as headache, tremor, pressure behind the head, i- ' noise in the ear, or some other such warning. As the attack begins, he will usually cry or scream out, and then faint and lose consciousness. His body becomes rigid, with his Arms and legs stretched out; his jaw closes tightly and he may even bite his tongue in clenching his jaw. Then sudden muscular twitching of all the muscles of J the body develops, with a vigorous jerking of the body which lasts from two to five minutes. As i »• the attack subsides thp patent.
Business and political leaders say that 1953- will wind-up as a prosperous year; probably one of the best. Employment is still at-a peak and the only noticable drops have been in farm prices and house building. These same leaders look for good business next year, with a tapering off in some lines. There is no reason to be pessimistic about the future. We have 160-million people in the ", United States to feed, cloth and house, plus the furnishing of TV’s and a thousand other things that Americans want. Depending on farm income and local industrial employment, Decatur and the local area should enjoy a busy 1954. \' 0 0 A Boy's Goal:— \ Martin Kalnec, eleveri-year old boy from Warrensville Heights, Ohio, wants to be-President of the United States when he grows up. Meditating upon his ambition while confined to a hospital, he decided to get some advice on how to reach that goal, He addressed a letter to ex-President Herbert Hoover asking the former chief executive how to proceed. Mr. Hoover answered the boy’s letter with three rules: “Just *be a boy, getting all the constructive joy out of life.” “No one should win the presidency without honesty, sportsmanship, and consideration for others, together with religious faith.” “Be a man of teclucation.” • Some readers might take sisue with the third rule, pointing out ’ ■ V- I that several Presidents had- Mttte • of what we would call formal education. However, we forget that education is learning and men : like Lincoln who were denied the advantages of conventional education achieved their learning through their own efforts. Perhaps the boy will never be President. He may not be able to get on the right ticket in the right year. But the rules laid down for him aie good rules and if he follows them he will be a good citizen and'a man.
may lose control of his bowels or bladder. After a convulsion, the patient sleeps for a few hours, awakens with little memory of the attack, apd is in a somewhat dazed condition for hours or perhaps days. There are types of epilepsy in which the person has no convulsion dr falling, but just ceases activity and becomes pale, with a twitching of the eyelids, lips or tongue for a few seconds. Sometimes an epileptic may exhibit his brain irritation by a purposeless action, such as running or talking, without any relation to the situation or to what he was doing before. Normal Findings It was found that over fifty per cent df people over thirty-five years of age with epileptic seizures have normal findings in their brain, other than the area of Irritation causing the epilepsy, and that they can lead a normal adult life with their epilepsy under the control of the mkny drugs available for this purpose. 1 However, anyone having epllepsy at any age should have a comprehensive medical study to determine if there is any other brain disease, such as a brain tumor or blood vessel disease, causing the disorder. QUESTION AND ANSWER R. T.: I have high; blood pressure and also a ringing in my car. Is the high blood pressure causing this ringing? I Answer: High blood pressure can,. In some instances, be the cause for ringing in . the ears. However, some form of ear disease is a more likely cause. It would be advisable for you to ,J have a complete ear examination.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE SEATED with Manning in the restaurant, Laura propped her elbows on the edge ot the table and asked, “What about Gal?" “I’d guess that ne’s ridden out with the rest ot Slash Z’s crew," he said. “But even if he hasn’t, I can’t go after him. Don't you see ? 1 can’t be a part-time lawman, letting one man go but chasing another. It's whole hog or none. That’s why 1 wouldn’t nave shot Ruxton if he hadn't forced me." “1 see," she said. “You’ve decided not to arrest Gramp, so you can’t m conscience ar r e's t Gal, either.” “Closed case,” he said. “And where does that leave you, Cole?” He shrugged. “Right back where I started.” He felt humble now, looking at her; but there was one thing that remained unchanged for him. \ “You see," he said, "you were right about my wanting to stand higher' than Flint Manning. Once he’d failed, so that made a chance for me. Only he didn’t rpally fail; 1 know that now. As it turned out, he proved himself bigger even than the badge he wore. There will be no topping him now, ever.” She said, **You had a big choice to make, too. Today.” "But it was a secohd choice,” he said. “Flint nad already made it. And hei had less reason to let Doc Brownlee go free.” “Less reason. Cole?” “Yes," he said. “There was no one like you mixed into it for him." He stood up then and came around the table and bent over her. He cupped her face in his hands and bent and kissed her, not caring who looked on “G ood b y, Laura," he said. “Cole!”’she cried. "Is it because you can’t stay? Because the Bootjack would always remind you of failure?" “Something like that,” he said. “Then I’ll come to the Marias!” "You’d bring the Boot jack with you,” he said and walked from the restaurant. H 6 was taking, he supposed, his last look at Mannington; and as he passed the brick hospital, it seemed to him the biggest thing in the world. No, not quite. The biggest thing was that statue of Flint Manning anchoring the end of the street. e • • Seated with Senator Tom Flowers before a low burning open fire uj the Senator’s finely appointed

Matthews Renews Clergymen Charge H Former McCarthy Aide In Statement , ■ > I i.” CHICAGO, UP—J. B. Matthews, former investigator for Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, says his charge that 77,000 Protestant clergymen supported the Communist "apparatus” was "conservative” and added "one of these days I'll prove iL ’ ~ \ - I He tpld air audience at Orchestra Hall Monday bight that he Would stick by his original charge, first in the American Mercury Magazine, but added: • “1 did not attack religion, the church or the clergy. 1 believe religion is the greatest single force arrayed against the Communist menace in the United States today.” Matthews, who left McCarthy’s permanent investigating committee staff only a few days after he was hired because of the-contro-versy over his magazine article, said’ the per.-ons who attacked him were actually attempting to discredit the Wisconsin Republican. “McCarthy is the greatest sens-: tor of our time.” Matthews said.; ‘ God bless him and his bride.”
bi bra r y, Cole ManAing related all that had happened down there on the Bootjack. When, with a sense of frustration and defeat he nad revealed the last amazing detail, he reached into ms pocket and brought forth the shield-shaped emblem of law and order with which he had been entrusted. But as he made to thrust it into the Senator’s hand, Tom Flowers said: \ “Keep it. Manning. In my house that badge belongs to you.” Then walking to the marbletopped table, Flowers lifted Flint Manning's letter and, crumbling it tossed it into the fire. As they watched it wither to ash, Flowers said: ’ j “The base -is closed," and leading his visitor politely to the door he bade him a hearty good-night. Walking briskly, Cole was nearly to the slant ot State street now, and the stars in the east were beginning to fade. He came abreast of a big red brick building and was reminded ot Brownlee's charity hospital. He wondered then if all brick buildings would forever remind him ot that hospital. He put ms hand out to the building and felt its solidness. Another block or so to the Bristol. Thus thinking,\he was a tired man, and unwary, with no full consciousness of the m&n who stepped from the shadow of the brick building until he was face to tace with the fellow. He knew that tall shape before he heard and recognized the voice of GaL Gal said, “I’ve been behind you all the way from the Bootjack. I was close on your heels tonight, but not close enough. I found your name on the Bristol register, and I’ve waited half the night tor you to head back there. This is the end of tL Bring out your gun blazing this time. We’ll finish here and now;" f Manning saw Gal’s gun clear leather and come up, and he sensed that nis own draw was faster than Gal’s. He felt his forty-five beat back against his palm, and the roar was great in his ears. But in the last instant before he pulled the trigger, he had time for remembering that Gal had balked at torturing Packrat Purdy; he had time for pity. And so he moved his gun barrel slightly to the left. Gal seemed to shudder and turn half about, his face a white, stricken smear against the darkness. The gun slipped from his fingers and dropped with a clatter. Manning took long steps toward

him. “1 think you’ve broken ,my arm,” Gal said. ■. - t “Let’s have a look at “Get away from me,” Gal groaned and shrank against the building. “I want nothing from you.”' * Gal’s face was a haggard mask in which those blue eyes blazed. “All those years in stony lonesome,” he muttered. “They slowed me down . . . they slowed me down. Once I’d nave been able to give anyone with your speed an edge and still split his heart before he could ear back the hammet-. My speed is just one more thing a Manning took away from me." I. ’Manning said, “I wish I could take away your hate.” He came Close to Gal and reached out and felt ot his arm. “1 don’t think the bone is broken,” Manning said. He whipped off bls bandana and wadded it and handed it to GaL “Here, hold this against the wound.” Feet pounded along the walk. Someone drawn by the shot, Manning thought, a blue-uniformed figure shaped up, night-stick swinging. “What’s going on here?" demanded a voice with a touch of brogue to it. "Nothing to worry about, officer,” Manning said. “You’ve got someone here who needs a doctor, though.” He remembered the decision he’d made about Gal in Mannington and felt a last regret. “You'll find you've bagged a prize. This man is an escaped convict from Deer lodge. He’s down on the books as* Joe Bridger."* “We've checked a hundred freight trains, looking for him," the policeman said. “And just who would you be?” Manning touched his badge. “I’ll take him along,” the policeman said. “He looks able to walk." He moved close to Gal and began to run his hands over the man. “You needn’t worry," Gal said, but it was to Manning that he spoke. “I left my hideout gun in Slash 7’s yard the night you clouted me." The policeman said to Manning, “You can make your report on him tonight or tomorrow, whichever you’re so minded, marshaL” Manning said, “Deer lodge will tell you all. you need to know. If Tm wanted, I’m staying at the Bristol tonight. Tomorrow I ride out." “Come along, you,” the policeman said and took Gal’s good arm. (To Ba Continued).
U. S. Stepping Up Production Os HBombers Expand Production Against Backdrop Os Russian Buildup WASHINGTON UP — The airforce’s hydrogen bomber—the B--52 Stratofort —18 slated for expanded production. A top-level decision to equip the strategic air command with greater . than previously planned numof the long-range, high-speed aircraft was announced Monday. Air secretary, Harold E. Talbott said the air force will open a new production line at the Boeipg Airplane Company’s Wichita, Kans., plant, increase total numbers to be built and raise planned monthly production rates by 25 to 40 per cent. By coincidence, Talbott made his announcement shortly after defense secretary Charles E. Wilson said at the White House that Russia is making “lots of progress” with atomic and hydrogen'weapons development. He said Ame ri c a' ’s overriding problem is to “develop the strongest position for our country” within available money and manpower limits. The air force announcement tended to show that there is no slackening of Pentagon determination to put heavy emphasis on ability to strike back offensively if Russia starts war. At 4he same ifme, however. Talbott repealed plans to improve the defensive air aFm by speeding production of F-100 Super Sabre fighters. The F-100, the F-86 Sabre’s successor, is the first jet plane known to exceed the speed of sound in level flight. Talbott said “accelerated production” has been ordered at North American Aviation, Los Angeles. He said the B-52 and F-100 orders Would have been issued in any event but obviously Russtan developments “must be a factor ip your thinking.” Talbott revealed that about $500.000,000 of the money recently “saved” by aircraft and * engine cutbacks will go into the B-52 speed-up. Those “savings” amounted to an estimated $1,250,000,000, Clearing Space For Addition Streets Land movers this week continued to clear* space for the streets that will accomodate the residents of Stratton addition “B” in the not-tdp-distant future. Boundary markers for most of the intended 54 lots have already been set out, while only one dwelling can be seen On the new addition, belonging to Yost construction Co. executive Bob Yost. Water and sewer facilities have already been complete#' and the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. is in the process of completing installation of its six-inch gas mains. When finished the addition will complete a large horseshoe. The 4.000-year-old palace <»f King Minos at Cnossus. Crete, was as large as London’s Buckingham Palace.

Polish Cardinal Is Sent To Monastery Polish Government Orders Banishment LONDON, UP — The Polish 'government has banished Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski to a monastery and forbidden him to perform his religious functions, Warsaw radio announced Monday night. The action climaxed the Communist regime’s long war with thte church in the overwhelmingly Catholic country. It apparently was designed to muzzle the 52-year-old primate and sentence him to virtual imprisonment without the ’ formality of a trial that might bring a worldwide protest such as in the case of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty in Hungary in 1948. Warsaw radio accused Wyszyski, archbishop of Gniezno and Warsaw, of “violating the' agreement between the government and the Polish episcopate'’ reached in 1950 and denounced as a Red-dic-tated" by the Vatican. He was also accused of “support of subversive anti state elements.” Wpszynski was referred to throughout the broadcast as “archbishop” since the Polish government did not recognize his elevation to cardinal last January. The Polish prelate did not go to Rome for the consistory in fear he would not be allowed to return home. In February the Communists i;
