With the price of coffee boosted several cents a pound, Secretary Beason of the agriculture department might start his office force working on a plan to exchange onr farm surpluses for coffee. Wo have about five billion dollars worth of grain in storage and since coffee is not grown in thia country, corn and wheat might be traded for it. Our farm surplus should be used to < some good purpose. 0 0 The new Adams Central high school will open Monday with the transfer of pupils from Kirkland township to the modern consolidated school.

We wish the staff and students a very successful semester at Adams Central. V. ..... 0, - Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland, which has played football for over half a century, has given up the game. A surprising reason is advanced. The students are not interested, as their failure to attend games proves. Though Cleveland has three other colleges, the city’s great football love is the professional Browns. Crowds of 80,000 have attended their games. Their finished exhibitions overshadow many college teams. Perhaps professional football may drive out collegiate elsewhere. This has largely happened in baseball, where college attract but moderate interest. —-0 0 senator from Massachusetts, has taken a stand against sectionalism. He will support the St. » Lawrence seaway project, something no senator from his state has ever done. In announcing his position he said that he refused to oppose the project merely because the economic benefits which will result from it will go to other parts of the country

Some Heart Conditions Aided By a Mild, Warmer Climate

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. " THE southeastern section of the United States has turned out tp be a sort of fountain of youth for heart patients, If not for the rest of the searchers for eternal life and youth. Every year, there 1> an annual pilgrimage of heart patients to these states. ..............: Climate appears to be an important factor in both the occurrence and the severity of rheumatic type of heart disease. In Northern Sections In the northern part of the United States, rheumatic heart Infection and its permanent Involvement of the heart valves occur five times more frequently than in the southern parts of this country. It is believed that the lesser occurrence of this disease is due to the comparatively low occurrence of upper respiratory especially those associated with the streptococcus 7 germ that is a supposed contributing cause of rheumatic fever. The mildness of the climate allows much more time to be spent outdoors, leas crowding Indoors, and less spread of infection. It Is a well known fact that crowding increases the incidence of rheu- i matlc fever and too often it occurs in several members of the same family. Other Types Benefited Other types of heart disease • - natlents also migrate regularly to ( the southern climates. ; 1 persons who suffer from heart < disease due to high blood pres- <

than his own. The Welfare of the 48 states is tied together. The prosperity of one part of the country without the prosperity of every other part is impossible and young kennedy has his eye in the*right direction in viewing the seaway as a national project. —0 0 The years slip by all too quickly 4 for many of us. We were re- . minded of the time record with the observance here the other evening when members of Adams Post 43 of the American Legion were honored for their 35 years of continuous membership in the veterans' organization. Organized following World War I, the Legion post has spanned the period of the second World War and the Korean conflict. The post has 800 members and we suppose there are a couple thousand men in the county eligible for membership. Several of the charter members of Adams Post are still active in the organization. 0 0 United States senators and representatives would like to have an increase in their salaries, but are hesitant to vote the >12,500 recommended boost because of the effect such action might have. Qu the yoters in an election year. The >27,500 recommended salary is more than the ordinary person can earn in most executive positions, but it should be remembered that members of congress must maintain two homes while serving in Washington and of course taxes take a large slice as income reaches the higher brackets. Not all members of congress are wealthy persons. Those who must live on their . prssepi •.aala>k S . ?! icrape-. the --tet:, tom of the barrel in meeting living expenses. We doubt if the people would object too seriously to higher salaries for their congressional representatives and the only body that can fix their compensation is congress itself. The salary scale might be lowered as taxes are reduced, which would be keeping income in line with the cost of living.

sure or hardening of the arteries have a greater tendency to develop heart failure when they contract upper respiratory and lung infections. The chances of this occurring in southern climates are greatly reduced. It is a well known fact that many people have heart attacks and constriction of the blood vessels of the heart in cold weather. Many heart patients are therefore—instructed not to walk against a cold wind. Thus, by moving to ajnifder climate, these heart patients are helped threuph a winter which they might otherwise have to spend indoors. Ideal Conditions * It has been found that heart patients are very comfortable and do best in a temperature of from sixty-eight to seventy-two degrees Farenheit, with a humidity that ranges from forty-eight to seventy-two per cent. However, it must be pointed out that heart patients, in too warm a climate or temperature, can be just as uncomfortable as in a cold climate. QUESTION AND ANSWER D. A.: I have circles under my eyes. Can something be done about it? *-■ Answer: Circles under the eyes are usually caused by what is “ known as unbalancing of the water absorption and output, which has no particular slgnifi- • cance from the standpoint of health. However, these dark circles sometimes come from lack of rest and sleep.

These leaders spent'a lot of time and work to get the 4-H fair on a money making basis and on its own. Are we going right back to where we were four years ago? One reason we went on our own was because Decatur didn’t want the 4-H fair in connection with their fair any longer. Why do they want us fltack now? It seems to me that it we go back to Decatur and depend on them for support (it all sums up to that very thing) we are really selling the people who helped us get started, down the river. They had the faith in us as leaders to make a good fair on our own; then we turn right around and break that faith. Other counties do not depend on a city to support their fair grounds, why should Adams county? Why was the Decatur fair a flop in the very location they offer us for the 4-H fair? How can we expect to have a successful fair in such a place? It seems it has been proven in the last four years that we can have a good clean fair in the center of the county, a location that in the past has been wholeheartedly supported by the entire county, north and south alike. ' I am not speaking just my own opinion, but through my work throughout the county as social and educational leader for the Farm Bureau, I have fcome in contact with many, mapy 4-H leade»s and others who are just plain interested in the welfare of our young people. » ’ You people who are going to have the vote next Monday on where the 1954 4-H fair is going to be held and where they will build a permanent home, stop and consider many things before you cast your vote.

SYNOPSIS . , On her way from a publishing house In New York where she'd just signed for rights of her late husband's novel. Pale Fraser joins Phil Parrish whom she'd met there, in a drink. The unfamiliar. potent concoction sends her fast asleep and she is greatly embarrassed when she awakens in the apartment! shared by Phil Parrish and his brother, Don. ' CHAPTER TEN DALE’S bright dress as a gesture of defiance was entirely ineffectual, for Agatha outdid her in beige crepe emblazoned with great, gaudy poppies. On any other woman her age, it would have looked slightly vulgar." Somehow, on Agatha, it only looked gay. “How long are you staying in New York, Mrs. Fraser?” Agatha asked her. "Not long. A few weeks, perhaps. * "Friends here, have you?" Dale hesitated. “Yes.” "She's here on business, Aggie," Phil cut in. He turned to Dale. “Don’t mind this aunt of mine. She has to know everything about everybody. Compensation for Uving alone, I expect. She won't gossip, though. Safe as a church, Aggie is.” “Thanks,” said his aunt dryly. To Dale, she said with a blandness that -masked keen appraisal, “What business, Mrs. Fraser?” “My husband wrote a book. I'm arranging for its publication with Carruthers and Scott.” “Steve Carruthers, h’m ? The book must be extraordinarily good.” “Yes," said Dale. "It is.” -—■ “Where is your husband?” Dale looked helplessly at Phil, her mouth quivering. What an awful old woman, she thought. But Phil was unresponsive to her silent appeal, and she turned back Xa Agatha. “My husband," she said, “is dead.” Phil said lazily, “Easy, Aggie." “Bring in the dessert, will you. Phil? It’s Sarah's Sunday off. Eclairs; in the refrigerator. Can you manage the coffee ?” And with Phil out tn the kitchen, Agatha said to Dale, “Forgive me, my dear. 1 am a curious and blunt and often a rude old woman. Lt I had any sense, I would assume at least the appearance^of good manners. Though, as the Creoles sayy 'Good manners often cover the devil's tail.' 1 am never, I hope, intentionally unkind.” She added, with what Dale knew with certainty was not irrelevance, "1 am uncommonly fond of Phil—of both my nephews.” “I understand,” Dale said stiffly. Agatha looked at ner narrowly, and suddenly smiled. "Yes, you do. Don’t worry about it... Oh, bring the eclairs to me, PhiL Will you pour the coffee?” Phil glanced from Agatha's face

generation, not what it means in dollar and cents. Other counties havp bought land for a 4-H fair ground and support these grounds, independent of any city. With the kind of 4-H fairs Adams county has had in the past -four years, we can surely do the same. _ Jo maintain the support of the entire county, north and south, let's keep the (air in the center of the county and stay on our own. ‘Mrs. Clarence Mitchel.

to Dale’s, and seeing the bland inj nocence in the one pair of eyes, and beneath the lowered lashes of 1 the other a faint tinge of color, ' he started to speak. Then, with a wry shrug, he decided to leave it , alone. “Sugar?” he asked Dale. “Cream ?’• “Please," she murmured, without looking at him. “Black for you," he said, passing ' a cup to Agatha. “Black as that ' unregenerate old heart of yours ! under all those fine red poppies!" , The remainder of the evening passed pleasantly enough, and not until it was time to leave did Dale 1 realize, with a touch of ruefulness, 1 how skilfully Agatha Galbraith had guided the conversation so that, • without being aware of it. Dale had talked a great deal of herself "Let s walk a bit'of the way, shall we?" Phil suggested, tioil- , ing her coat. “By the way, that's an elegant dress.” “Red is not Dale’s color," said ; Agatha firmly. “Any more than ’ these poppies are mine. Odd, what ' a dash of red does for one’s cour- ' age, isn't it?” And the smile she ’ gave Dale was as sudden and disarming as a child’s. “Bring her • to me again, Phil. Soon.” There was softness and warmth . in the air that touched their faces as Dale and Phil stepped outside. ! He took her arm so casually r that she was almost.unaware of it. “How do you like my aunt?” he ■ asked. „ .=. “I shouldn’t like to have to out- . smart her! She makes me feel that all my mental and emotional processes are lit up witji neon.” , He laughed. “She does, rather, i I learned long ago not to try to keep any secrets from her.” -How does she get away with it? Lt everyone pried as ruthlessly ‘ into other people’s affairs—" Date made a wry face. “But 1 do like her,” she confessed in mild sur- . prise. "She reminds me of my grandfather." He gave her a sideways look. "Are you really going back to that farm?” “Os course. And it’s not a farm, now. It’s a thriving tourist development. Yes,” she said, “I shall go back.” “To what ?" She* looked at him in astonishment. “My family and my job, of course.” “You made it all sound very bright and amusing to Aggie back there at dinner—but what sort of djob is a rural mail route and bookkeeping in a country store, fop.a girl like you?" "You don’t know what kind of girl 1 am.” "1 do know that it you go back, you can't have everything the same again," he said gravely. He stopped at the sate of a school-

0 0 Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE I 0 , 0 Q. Is it proper, when setting the dinner table, to put the butter on one plate and pass it around, or to put the butter on individual bread-and-butter plates? A. This is more a question of convenience than propriety, and certainly it is more convenient to serve the butter on individual plates than to have your guests pass it around. Q. Is It all right for a girl who is not engaged to wear a diamond ring on the third finger of her left hand? A. While there is nothing wrong with this, she certainly will give the impression to many people that she is engaged. Q. Is one ever justified in mentioning to friends and acquaintances the prices one has paid for certain possessions? jA. Never! This is extremely illbred. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

yard, drawing her arm more closely against his side. "Every time 1 walkdfcy this school, I want to go in and try those swings. Let's, shall we?” “Let’s not,” she said shortly. "Why!” "It’s kid stuff, isn’t it? And, as you said, nothing i» ever the same again." ■Touche, eh?" But hg walked on. Presently Dale said, “I’m tired, PhiL Do you mind if we ride the rest of the way ?" He hailed the first empty cab, and they sat apart, a companionable closeness that had almost boon there gone. Only, leaving her, Phil said, “Aggie was wrong. Red is your color—just because it is a badge of courage. Good night* Dale.” “Good night," she said. In the morning, Dale took the signed contracts to Steven Carrutners. "Everything satisfactory?" be asked her. "If not, I’d never know it with ah ‘ those confusing legal terms,” she said. “But Agatha Galbraith seems to have implicit faith in you, and I’m inclined to take her word for your integrity.” "Met her, have you? Great old girl, Aggie.” Smiling, Dale said, "Yes, she is.” Shi folded the advance royalty check and put it carelessly in ner handbag. With a promise to send a photograph apd a brief biography for the jacket cover, she turned to go. “Are you leaving the city at once, Mrs. Fraser?" Carruthers asked.

"Not just yet." “1 hope you are enjoying it?” She shrugged an indifferent shoulder. "Oh, yes.” si. “If 1 have to get in touch with you, leanreach you at the hotel?” "Yes —or at Swanscombe, if I’ve gone home.” „ She could go home, now... That night she made a long-dis-taace call and talked with Grandy, half noping he would urge her to come home. But Grandy said, "It is still Apr here, honey." , She saw his smile touched with wisdom and tolerance, felt his hand pushing her off. Odd. EVeryon. else, in their farewells, nad said, "Don't forget to come back, Dale!” Everyone but Grandy, who had said, “You go!” Ashamed ot her dismay, and feeling curiously bereft, Dale thought, 1 don’t belong anywhere. With a sort di frantic urgency, she spent two days on sight-seeing buses, seeing all the .things everyone came to New York to see. Afterwards, worn out and at the beginning of the futile 5 circle again, she asked herself, What now? (To Be Continued)

SYNOPSIS for rights of her late husband’s novel. Dale Fraser joins Phil Parrish whom she’d met there, tn a drink. The unfamiliar, potent concoction sends her fast asleep and she is greatly embarrassed when she awakens in the apartment shared by Phil Parrish and his brother. Don. The boys, however, realise that - this badly confused young widow from a small town, is a thorouhgly nice person. They make light of her "passing out" and tater take her to visit their Aunt Aggie, a venerable and understanding soul who likes the girl at once. ?> CHAPTER ELEVEN THE ANSWER to the problem of what to do came in a telephone call from Don Parrish. So like Phil's was his voice that Dale cried, with more welcome than she realized, "Oh, Phil! How nice." "This is Don, Phil's brother." He sounded stiff and awkward. "I hope you won’t think it out of line, my calling you. I had dinner with my aunt this evening; I understand you’ve met Agatha.” “Yes,” Dale said uncertainly. "Agatha suggested that 1 call you. Would you care to go dancing with me tomorrow evening?” Wavering between amusement and indignation, Dale asked coolly, “Is this your aunt’s idea of something that would be good for me ?" “On the contrary, it’s something she thinks would be good for me," said Don Parrish. "So she bosses you around too!" “Aggie says I’m working too hard. She recommends an evening with a girl who doesn’t know an atom from an atoll.” ” Dale began to laugh. “You teU your aunt I’m not that dumb.” “She gave me the impression she thought you were quite bright. I know this is off the beaten track of formality, Dale —but would you like to go dancing?" She thought back over the two interminable days on buses. Grandy fending her off. Another evening with the newspapers. “Why not?" she said in sudden revolt, and at once she began to feel lighthearted and adventuresome. She bought a new dress, with yards and yards of billowing skirt and nothing at all above her shoulders. Then, the mood still holding, She bought slippers that were all fragile straps, underthingg as wicked as she could find, and a fuzzy white woollen jacket. When Don called up from the desk that evening, she told him bUthely that she would be right down. She pinned on his quaint nosegay of pink rosebuds, thinking involuntarily, A corsage from Phil would have been fire-engine red. Don Parrish was watching the elevators and be came straight to her as she stepped out “Hello,” he said, and looked into her eyes. “Oh, blue. I expected brown, with your hair.” "Disappointed?" It was grave, without coquetry. “No, it’s a very nice surprise." Os course, he'd seen her only with her eyes shut... With a sickness of heart over that episode,

she tried to shape an explanation. - But'before She heard her name called by a pageboy. "Call for Mrs. Kelland Fraser. Mrs. Fraser, please." She murmured an apology to Don and went over to the telephone. x "What are you doing tonight ?’’ Phil Parrish asked. "I feel like walking—do you?" Surely this was not just coincidence? Dale’s hand came up clenched into a fist. "Did your Aunt Agatha put you up to this, too?” she asked furiously. “Not by a jugful!" His voice changed. "What do you mean, too f " "Your brother is here.” "Not Don!" She said coldly, “Your aunt ordered him to take me dancing." “She did, did she? 1 must have a talk with Aggie. With Don, too, the dog. He didn’t say a word to me,” he said aggrievedly. "You tell my brother to take good care of you. Not that there's any chance of Don getting fresh. If you’re safe with anyone, it's Don.” “You’re not worried about me, are you?” He chuckled. "Not really. All Don can talk is shop.” He hung up on a gay, "Good night, have fun!” Don was lounging on a stuffed chair-arm in the lobby. “That was Phil,” she told him. “He said to tell you to take good care of me.” It was his cue for a flip rejoinder. Phil would have picked it up and made the most of it. Repartee, obviously, was not Don Parrish's special talent. Yet something in his awkwardness was appealing. He reminded Dale of a big St. Bernard, momentarily balked by a blizzard. The analogy was apt; Don Parrish had no keg tied to his collar, but he was rescuing a lost and lonely traveler. For this one evening, anyway. They had dinner before wide windows with all the city's lights below them coming alive in the dusk. They danced, Don apologizing profusely for his ineptness. "This is a little out of my line," he said gravely. “Sh," she said. "I’m having a lovely time." And so she was. No memories intruded. These things—dinner at a fashionable hotel, musicians behind a flower-banked railing, a city at her feet—.these she had never shared with Kelly, and so no familiar phrases, no associations, plagued her. « '•Tell me about yourself, Don,” she said. "Phil says that you are a big mind in physics. Does that mean you have anything to do with atomic-bomb research?” "Some,” he admitted. “Top secret He shook ’ his head. “All of a nonsecrct nature.

meteorology, spectroscopy." and elaborately impressed. He laughed. “You asked for It!” “And you love it, don’t you?” He nodded. “I’m doing a paper now for a conference in Canada in July. There'll be men from Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, and from universities in France and Germany and Norway." “They know atoms from atolls!" It brought Agatha Galbraith into both their minds. “Aggie has taken a fancy to you,” Don said. “It’s fortunate she didn’t see me at your apartment that day,” Dale said. She had been playing idly witn a fork and now she put it down and looked directly at him. “I am ashamed of that, you know. I don’t know what got into me.” She stopped, her bro#a wedging in an effort at concentration. “Yes, 1 do know. 1 knew perfectly well that 1 was drinking too much. 1 just went on and on—” “Abetted by Phil,” he said dryly. "Shifting the blame doesn’t help ... It is a form of escape, isn’t it ? Though 1 suppose no other escape is quite so futile." She smiled faintly, reminiscently. “My grandfather told me once of the two big binges in his life. One, the night ol his stag dinner before he was married. The other when my father died in China. 'Dale,* he saidu'when. you’re up, you don’t need a spree, and when you’re down, it don’t help none.’ I ought to have remembered.” s “Forget it, Dale. Certainly one gay party doesn’t make you an “ alcoholic.” - She said quietly, “It was not a gay party, Don." They danced again,- and back at their table, Don said, “Why don’t you stay here and get a job, Dale.?” She regarded him suspiciously. 'That sounds straight from the mouth of Agatha Galbraith.” He admitted sheepishly that it was. Dale colored angrily. “What makes her think she has the right to push me around ? Phil had to take me to dine with her. You have to take me dancing. And now I have to get a job! I belong to myself, Don, and no old woman is going to tell me what to do, either with my dates or my life!” "Easy,” he said, grinning. “You didn’t have to obey her first two orders, you know.” “No. but—” “Aggie’s as wise as a serpent, Dale. She might be right about this job business. Anyway, it won't hurt to think it over, will it?” “I suppose not,” she said indifferently. Later, at. hjs suggestion of a drive through the park, she said sharply, “No!” All the delightful caprices of April, new grass, the scent of daffodils heavy in the dark, the warm, rippling waves of air— Oh, no. At Don’s blank reception of her tone, she said, “Fm tired. Please take me home, Don.” (To Be Continued) B
