While many people think that Ezra Benson, secretary of agriculture, will be the first to leave the Eisenhower cabinet, a few of the experts say that Secretary of Commerce Weeks will be the first to step out. They say that President Eisenhower isn’t satisfied with his secretary’s handling of this important office. - 0 0 Southern governors meeting in Hot Springs, Va., talked politics / and speculated on future trends in Dixieland. A majority of the politicos are lining up with the J regular, Democrat party, despite detections a year ago.

. ■> -I Motorist's Sideswipe Fracture

\ By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. “SIDESWIPE” fractures are becoming more and more common as automobiles became a necessity rather than a luxury. * We are seeing more and more fractures of the elbow, particularly the left elbow, due to the sideswiping of cars while the driver has his elbow protruding | from the window. Fractures of this type are also seen in children who put their elbow out of buses or other vehicle windows. Severe Wounds These wounds are, in mod instances, very severe and, in many cases, amputation of the arm may be forced by the injury. Often, there is a great amount of shock accompanying the frac- , ture and this must be treated immediately. This is done by the physician giving plasma or blood. In order to build up the blood pressure and bring back the fluids that have left the blood vessels. Importance of Cleansing 1 I The wound is usually very dirty r ’ and the fracture is most often of • -'-'I - -

tions on the west coast the districts are normally Republican. There could be an upset in the New Jersey gubernatorial but this is not likely because of local issues. 0 0 The agriculture department is flirting with an idea of reducing acreage for corn as much as 20 percent next year. Secretary Benson in .ruling out marketing quotas for corn, speculates that it may be necessary to fix acreage allotments, which if dope will not benefit farmers in the corn belt. Adams county farmers plant around 45,000 acres in corn each year and a reduction of one-fifth would mean approximately 9,000 idle acres. The plan doesn’t sound economical or feasible and no doubt will be opposed by farmers in the midwest corn-growing Areas. 0 o Recently the Decatur Ministerial Association, composed of ministers of Protestant churches, adopted a resolution requesting that funerals not be held on Sunday. There are exceptions to any rule and the ministers were £onizant of this maxim in making allowance Tor emergencies and extenuating circumstances. They also asked that fraternal rites be held separately from church services, giving ample reasons for a division of these sacred rites. It is commendable that local families and funeral directors are cooperating with the' spirit of the resolution and are arranging services for loved ones in compliance with the'ministerial suggestions. —o Crimes In Korea:— We can look only with loathing and disgust at the evidence of war crimes committed by the Communists in Korea. War is a dirty business and at best.there is nothing pretty about it. But good men accept war as an evil in which they are involved and perform their duties to the best of their ability. They do not kill for the sake of killing nor do they torture, starve and degrade prisoners. It is sometimes possible that cases of brutality may occur without the knowledge of high ranking officers. It is not possible that atrocities could be committed oa the scale that they were committed in Korea without the consent and even the encouragement of those who set- Communist The barbarism and the inhumanity of the Communists cannot be denied. Documented evidence has been supplied for ■ every charge. History will record the deeds that were perpetrated by the Reds in Korea along with the eihssic examples of man’s inhumanity to man. \

an open type, with the bone protruding from the torn flesh. The utmost care Is heeded in cleansing the wound, as there is danger of developing lockjaw or tetanus. For this reason, tetanus antitoxin is given. Many of these fractures must be repaired by the physician in the operating room through surgery, In order to effect an adequate cure. Many months are usually spent in casts or in bed with different types of immobilization carried out to keep the slow-healing fracture at rest. Since a joint is involved, it Is very rarely that completely normal function is returned to the arm. Drivers and passengers must be urged not to rest their arms on the ledges of car windows. QUESTION- AN® ANSWER 8. P.t I have a cracking on the bottom of my feet constantly. What would you advise? Answer: This may be due to , extremely dry skin or ringworm of ths feet. The use of lanolin or some other lubricant applied over thjs part of the skin will be of great help.| , I -■ - —•

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO MOIRA raised her voice again, and again Linda heard Nancy say she must speak in a lower tone. Moira rattled on in a voice somewhat lower but still loud enough for Linda to make out nearly all she said. She was telling that she and Sam had arrived from Florida by bus that morning. She said it was a “hell of a trip,” but they had come that way because it was cheaper. She said that when they arrived in town they had about a dollar and a half between them because had been nearly cleaned out of his winnings. Linda heard Nancy ask, “What winnings?” I Moira said that she and Sam would have to stay at the Kelly home until Sam got a job or she got a job. She said that Sam wouldn't be out of work dong. "Is that guy resourceful! He can make money at anything.” Linda heard Mrs. Eustis returning and stepped put of the room to prevent her from coming in. Linda asked to see some other type of dress, and when Mrs. Eustis left she stepped back into the fitting room. - \ She heard Nancy Inquire what |ine of work Sam followed. “Oh, ije represents peopl\, amusement companies, you know, coin machines and equipment and all that. He’s got the most connections." Moira was talking louder again. “Say, Sis, how about giving me a job modeling in this place? I’ve got a good figure it 1 do say it myself. 1 modeled at Bernstein’s, remember? They liked me, if only old Bernstein hadn’t got so fresh.” Linda heard Nancy reply that the shop did need a model but if Moira was given the job it wotlld be on the condition that she learned to hold her tongue. As L’nda was being helped with her silver mink by Mrs. Eustis, preparing to leave the shop, a large overdressed dowager entered. Linda saw that the woman was - laden with jewels. She had a new idea. During the next few weeks as the excitement of the shop opening began to wear oft, Nancy began more and more to Wonder whether she hadn’t allowed ner fierce ambition to somewhat run away with her good judgement. Mor<_ and more she realized that an impatient ambition is one thing and that experience in business is quite another. That’s why, as the days melted into weeks, she thanked heaven for the quiet, swift efficiency of Mrs. Eustis. Mrs. Eustis was a jewel. She had a world of experience in shop management, in buying and selling, and she knew feminine psychology. . She tended to the shop’s business and she minded her own business. She was no gossip. She was above gossip. As Nancy began to learn \ i'

SICK WORLD I I

0 ) p I Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE o : —o Q. Is it good manners for a girl to ask her escort for a cigarette'’ A. This is quite all right. An attentive escort should, of course, make such a request unnecessary, but should he be forgetful enough, it is perfectly proper for the girl to make the request. Q. When invited to join a group in some sport you have never played, but which you would like to try, what should you do? A. First, be frank to admit that you have never played the spoit Then, if they insist upon your joining them anyway, it is qu'te all right to take phrt. Q. What is the proper length of time for a young woman to wear mourning for her father? A. This .depends entirely up Ml her feelings In the The custom of wearing mourning, is not so strict as it formerly was. Many people do not consider it necessary at all.

Mrs. Eustis* character better, she was amazed to know that one individual could combine such executive ability with gentility and good appearance. < Nancy had spoken of this to Phil Stanley, and his answer given without intent to hurt her, she decided afterwards, did twist itself into her heart. He had said, “Os course, Mrs. Eustis is an excellent person. She had breeding. Her father,' you know, was one of the Virginia Gillards. and her mother was a Lodge.” Breeding, indeed. Was Phil Stanley a snob? When he had made the remark, that old surge of rebellion that Nancy was forever having to battle, made her want to make a challenging remark. To inquire why, if Mrs. Eustis was such a blueblood, she out in a raid-west city earning her living like thousands of other women who could boast no relationship to the Gillards or the Lodges, whoever the Lodges might be. She had decided that she had better hold her tongue. Mrs. Eustis was a person of character. Nancy respected her, and if Phil was a snob he certainly had laid aside his snobbery in his treatment of her so far. He had been consideration itself, he had been a goad to her ambitions. Why? Some day she Intended to ask him outright. The opportunity came sooner than she expected. It came one night just before it was time to dose the shop. Phil came in and straightaway announced to Nancy that she was going to dinner with him. "Oh, am I?” She meant, by her inflection, that she wasn’t. “You are." He was smiling. His tone was half casual, half positive. “People would talk,-they’re gossiping now.” “Are they?” “You know they are.” “Let’s realty give them something to talk about.” “I don’t think I know what you mean.” < “Don’t bother your pretty head now. I’ll give you five minutes to powder your nose, to get your hat and coat on.” He took out his watch. "Don’t think, Mr. Phil Stanley, that because you own this shop that you own me. It’sl quitting ; time. I’m through taking orders for the day. ( Nancy’s eyes were laughing 1 now, though she did very well at setting her mouth in what she 1 ' hoped was a straight, stern line. i Phil said: - i “I don’t own this shop—you do.”' 4 Nancy didn’t answer that ona.; i She knew that her name was on i a sign over the door.

were hardly the same person. She knew that impulse had a battle in her heart, and, impulse having won, she hdd been carried along to this day, but she wasn’t foolish enough to think that because Her name was over a shop door she owned the shop. She had been a stenographer in a law office, a slave to a desk, as the saying goes, a girl who knew the necessity of washing and ironing a blouse at night when she was almost too tired to eat supper, just so that she might appear fresh the next day. < So she could keep up the standard of appearances that befit a big, downtown law office—so that she might earn forty dollars a week. Now she was greeting customers in a clothes shop, Wearing smart dresses, working hard all day, yet loving it all. She felt that she was living at last. Still, far back in her consciousness, there were little gnawing pains that sometimes wouldn’t be stifled. «r Little pains of thought that she was losing her old friends, that as her ambitions had brought her into acquaintance with new people, a different kind of people than she had always known, she somehow had hurt and heartlessly left the old ones behind. Phil had just declared that he didn’t own the shop, that she did. He was joking, of course, and that evening she half felt that she wasn’t in the mood for joking. AU day long she had felt a nostalgia to see and talk to some of the people she had worked with at Spencer and Charles* law office. She wanted to see Lucy Wardle. Lucy had come into the shop once' or twice but its simple elegancies evidently had been too much for her. Once Lucy bad met Phil Stanley there and had been stricken almost speechless. She had blushed and acted self conscious. Nancy felt like saying, “Lucy, for heaven’s sake don’t be so humble,” but of course she couldn’t. She had felt impatient with Lucy, sorry for her and loyal to her, all at the same time. Nancy felt that Lucy by this time must consider her a lost woman and she knew that the buzz of gossip about her among other girls in the office must now have reached a crescendo. Nancy wasn’t afraid of the gossip. She was keeping to her resolve to slay a dragon, one of whose heads was called Fear. Still she would like to know just what was being said among those with whom she had once Worked. She had wanted to can Lucy tonight, perhaps to take her to a movie, and here was Phil Stanley standing before her, watch tn hand, announcing that he was going to take her to dinner and that she had five minutes to powder her nose and get ready. \ Vi (To Be Continued y

Sen. McCarthy Widens Probe Os Espionage Eight Witnesses Called In Senator McCarthy's Probe NEW YORK, UP — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy broadened his army radar laboratories today by calling eight inore witnesses, some of them employes at Fort Monmouth, N. J., for questioning. McCarthy, who has been on a 10-day speaking tour, was expected to resume active command of the inquiry at about 2 p.m. CST after his staff had finished preliminary questioning of witnesses. , A McCarthy aide said the senator had postponed until latef this week questioning of an allegedly suspended member of the army’s loyalty appeal board about Communist affiliations. The aide said the senator wx>uld attempt to find out if the witness is in any way responsible for clearing army employes for security work despite “clear cut evidence” of their Communist activities. James Juliana, a McCarthy investigator, said the witness was questioned by staff members of the senator’s permanent investigating subcommittee last week. He described the witness as “still on the board at the time, but not serving in recent months.” Juliana refused to say whether the ,man was fired in the last few days.J Sources close to McCarthy said army intelligence “had a file” on the official that showed ,he had a record of Communist associations and Red front activities. They said the matter had gone “all the way to army secretary' Robert T. Stevens “but apparently nothing was done about it.” Stevens refused in Washington to. comment on questioning of the former loyalty board member. John F. Kane, his assistant, said army officials have decided they can make “no statement on loyalty cases” under present executive orders which were issued by former President Truman. McCarthy said he planned to have all members of tjle appeal board before his subcommittee. He said some time ago that he was “profoundly shocked” by some of the board’s reversals of lower board decisions to oust army employes with questionable loyalty records. McCarthy’s staff began a new round (of questioning Monday into alleged Communist spy activities at the army signal corps’ Fort Monmouth, N. J M radar laboratories. They questioned eight witnesses at the federal courthouse here. The staff described the witnesses as six current employes at Fort Monmouth, an employe of a contractor who does top secret signal corps work, and a fortner Communist who said he knew a Fort Monmouth employe who he assumed was a Communist too.

Bar Association Adopts Memoriam For Judge Gordon A resolution In memoriam was passed by the Adams county bar association Monday to note the passing of Frank W. Gordon, form er judge of the Wells circuit court who died ot a cerebral hemorrhage Saturday. ’ “Judge Gordon was a good lawyer and acquitted himself with honor during the long years of his practice and his service as judge of the Wells circuit court.
