The dust storms have taken a heavy toll of top soil in these stricken areas and the only solution against a recurrence of the damage is more rain or’a reforestation program.

State house employee who were appointed by Gov. Craig are the victims of the shakedown. GOP Chairman Cyr, a leader of the Canehart - Jenner forces, told party members to contribute to a fund to help elect Republican congressmen. He said, "A considerable sum has already been raised. Much more is needed". Many wonder why so much money is needed to win an election.

Hardening of the Arteries May Alter the Personality

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. IT has often been said that a and this is true in part - - Since the arteries that supply different parts of the body may wear out at differeßt ifmo tn life and to a different extent, depending upon the person, the statement in some measure becomes a fact. Brain Arteries The hardening or wearing out of the arteries supplying the brain accounts for the manychanges of personality that may be exhibited by older people. Many elderly people are said to be going through a second childhood at this time. Actually, there are changes taking place In their personality and thinking due to the fact that their arteries are becoming narrowed and not supplying adequate amounts of blood to the brain. Loss of Memory The first of these changes to take place is loss of memory. Many of these older persons may lose the power to retain memories within their brains. They; can recall old happenings, but: new incidents are forgotten al-1 most as soon as they take place.; , it is very hard for a person with hardening of the arteries of the brain to remember when his last ■ meal was or where he ate it. . .

A Los Angeles hospital has set aside a special emergency room to treat suffers from hemophilia. This disease, in which the blood is incapable of clotting readily so that it is possible to bleed to death, is one of the most distressing and mysterious that afflicts the human race. Little is known about it, so that a special organisation has been formed to gather data and promote investigation into the disease's cause and cure. It has charters in 14 American cities and one .in Canada. Some useful aids have already been discovered and hope begins to spring that- a cure may be found at last. o o There is much interest in this community on the disposition and future use of the Kiikland high school building. This two story, ten room brick building will be offered at public sale March 6, along with it! two-acre site. It is a well-built structure and in these days of house and building shortages, it would seem that the abandoned school could be used for several purposes. The suggestion of an auctioneer that the building might be converted into a church is a sound idea. Other uses to which it might be adapted are apartments and a community center. We hope the ■building is converted to good use, for it is located in one of the richest and most progressive areas in the state. o— —o . Regardless ot explanations, it is evident that Army Secretary Stevens knuckled to Sen. McCarthy in order to avert a showdown with the fiery Wisconsin leader. Mr. Stevens does not seem entirely happy over his decision and off-the-record it appears that the army executive have had advance warning that Secretary of Defense Wilson did not intend to defend him or come to his aid. Probably President Eisenhower himself did not wish to become the final authority in the controversy and decided to let his army secretary fend for himself. Mr. Stevens will not testify before the McCarthy committee, but the latter appears the winner in one of the biggest disputes ever staged by the high policy makers in the national capital.

Many old persons avoid this loss of memory by living on schedule. For instance, they take care of - certain tasks on Mondays, others on Tuesdays a»d so on. This precise planning enables them to / carry out their normal living functions very adequately. They often cover up their poor memory by accusing other persons of doing things they did not do or by looking for arguments. Hardening of the arteries of the brain can cause other troubles besides memory loss. Elderly persons may lose their inhibitions and do things of which they normally would be ashamed. They may suffer great changes of mood. ' Brain damage due to the hard- - ening of the arteries may also cause tingling throughout the body and tremors of the muscles. Medical science is now seeking away to keep the arteries of these older people open and unaffected by hardening, to avoid the stigma of second childhood for them. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. A. P.: Do men go through ; the chatige of life similar .to j women? Answer: Yes, they do. They • may have symptoms of irritabil- . i ity, loss of interest, and even hot ; flushes sirifflar to tliose In wOHienr ’ ‘ Usually, giving of male hormones 1 will cure this. ;

SYNOPSIS Dr. Stephen Can; and„bis wire. Shelly, are on their, way to a dinner party honoring his veneraole mother’s birthday. Though polite to her always. Shelly well knew that the very social Carrs had never really accepted her. She was a stranger to them and to the little mid-west city ot Norfolk, where the Carrs resided, a night club singer of uncertain back ground whom the whole Carr family believed Stephen had marned impulsively Aware of their subtle snubs, Shelly determines to prove her metal. As she and Stephen drive to the - fashionable home of the senior Carrs. Shelly pities the itinerant workers who have come here on new projects, many of them living in pathetically squalid quarters. During the gay birthday party. Stephen astounds his folk, by announcing that he has joined with the alined forces and will soon be oft to the Pacific for a year. CHAPTER FOUR MR. WALSH said something, but ~ EverettFsvoice came out the louder. "What about your work ? Your practice ? And Shelly ? Did you give those things any thought?” "Yes,“Dad, of course I did.' ’ — "Just going to close up your shop and house, and leave, eh?” Eleanor leaned across the table toward Shelly. "Are you going with him?” "No,” Stephen answered for her. “I’ve askedfor active duty. It was the only basis on which I’d serve. I m to report to Seattle in ten days and will go straight to Japan. From there, I suppose, to Korea. Perhaps Shelly could go to Japan, but she’d be alone in a strange and dangerous place. We’ve decided that the risk would be too great I’d worry about her con- ’ stantly.” "I’m glad you can worry about something," growled Everett "Oh, now, look, Dad ...” “I am looking, son. But I’m not sure you can make me like what I see.”’ „ ,i Stephen said, "I’m not hoping that you'll like it, Dad, but you ought to understand why I felt I had to do this thing. You’ll remembet that I was in school dur- ’ ing the second war.” "In medical school!” Now Mr. Walsh got in his word. "You know, don’t you, Stcvie. that tire government is behind the plant expansion program T”

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.-Carl Hirschy. of Decatur, route 6. 0 ; e — r o Modern Etiquette | ; | BY ROBERTA LEE ( » 0 Q. When a couple returns from a trip abroad, are they supposed to call ■ their friends first, or do their friends call them to welcome them home? A. It is all right for those friends who know, they have returned to call and welcome them home. Usually, however, it is the traveler who lets friends know he is back. ' “ Q. Isn’t it all right for husbands and wives to open each other's mail? Al Never; unless, of course, one or the other has given his cqn- ; sent. i Q. When .entertaining a clergy- ■ man and his Wife at a meal in ' in- home, is it proper to ask him ito say grace? A. Yes, this is perfectly proper.

“Yes, sir, of course I know that.” "More pits and more kilns mean more men employed. You know that?” “Yes, and I know that a doctor will be needed to examine those additional men, and take care of their health. But just the same, sir, I feel—” "Who’s been talking to you?” asked his father. Stephen laughed, and shook his head. “Mostly my own conscience, but, of course, when some of my friends—men my age—were called back into active duty... you know, Reserves, and that sort of thing— Barney Davis, particularly — he’d server! his four years and more, risked his life—he’d married and had built a new house, but the government said it needed trained men, and called him back — Well, I’m a trained man, too, and I never-have risked my life. Barney sauHie had to go, so X knew I had to go, too. That’s all there is to it, sir.” He shot a glance at his father, and red flared into his cheeks. ‘"You are not to try to get me out!” he said firmly. “I want to go!" Now the whole' table broke out in a brush-fire of comment, protest and argument pro and con. When the group moved to the drawing - room, E. J. took up What he fondly hoped was his father's pose before the fireplace — It was not. Rabbit-faced, slender E.J, would never look or be like Everett, Senior! However, he had his own abilities, and now he spoke with acid - burning scorn of hi's brother, Stephen, he said, was spoiled. He always had been as a child, and didn’t seem to grow out of it as a man. Why, he could cite a dozen examples of the way Stephen had wanted a thing, got it, tired of it quickly and cast it aside. - . These examples,* which he did cite, ran from, ponies and gasolinepowered airplane models, on to his wish to study medicine. “He raised sueh -hell Dad or- Mother would give in to him —and when he got tired of his toy, Dad or Mother

Drainage School To t Be Held March 8 Farm drainage is the subject to be discussed in an extension school at 7:30 p.m., Monday, March 8, at the Monmouth high • school, states county agent L. E. : Archbold. Don Sisson, Purdue agI ricultural extension engineer, will be the main speaker. The Adams I county soil conservation supervisors are cooperating. Sisson will use colored slides to illustrate his ' talk. ‘ W. L. Gerke. P. M. A. chairman, ’ states that two thirds of the re--1 quests for help on farm plans in- ’ volve tile drainage. This should ’ prove to be a very popular school. In addition. Sisson will discuss 1 need lor and establishment of ’ grass waterways.

had to pick up the pieces ... . ’ ; Stephen carefully mashed out his cigaret against the tray and said slowly, “I’m thirty-two, and my-choice has been to work as a doctor; In the Army I’ll continue that work. E.J.’s forty, and his choice, Dad, has been to walk in your shadow, to do as you do, follow your example. He finds fault with my choice, and I'm afraid I find a great deal of fault with his.” Stephen spoke gently, but there was a sharp sting ip, his words. E.J. turned red, and then he turned white. “Do you realize what you’re saying about Dad?” he finally ' managed to gasp. "I’m not saying one thing about Dad. I’m saying a man content to be only the shadow of another father or—or George Washington “ - —or anyone! — I’m saying that a shadow is not as good as a flesh and blood man.’ And you can't sell me that he is.” The minister’s interruption saved the day. “Stephen's decision seems patriotic to me. Os course he might stay safely and snugly here at home, and still be serving his country, yet he chooses to expose himself to hardships and danger in order to take an active part in the defense of that country. I think he is patriotic in away given to few of us. He may never win any medals —I hope he does not!—but already he deserves one. "My opinion may not be worth much, and I’d not want to impose it on this group, bdt I personally envy what he is doing. We are about of an age; I too was in school during the war, and I’d do exactly what he is doing if I could pass a physical examination. I can’t—there's supposed to be a slight matter of ulcers.. He smiled and shrugged. X— — Murmurs of interest and commiseration rippled around the room.’ And far from persuading toward patriotism, the mention of the young man’s health served only to remind Stephen’s mother of a practical aspect of her son’s “notion.” r (To Ee Continued)

No articles will be I published without signature of I the author. 0 1 fl Defends Garbage Collection It is my duty as garbage collector of the city of Decatur to see that every pitizen of this town is satisfied with the way 4 and tny companion pick up the garbage. We have tried to satisfy everyone to the best of our ability. We believe if everyone in this city cooperated like some people, there would be no cause for alarm. In case some people don’t know it. every time we miss a can we get a ticket at the city hall and sometime get a good talking to. In Wednesday's paper a citizen stated a complaint about the way we pick up the garbage. She aaked in her letter “why it Is that some people are favored”. We do not favor just a few people, but try to help all. When the regular garbage man met with a mishap, I took over the route. 1 run it just the way he ran it. I believe that if "some people” don't like the way I run the route, they should change it to suit themselves, or have the city change the system. It would only take a person five minutes to pick up their phone and call the city hall if we should miss you. And if you don't have a phone, you can see us when we drive around, or near your residence. (How much more simplified things would be if people would only try to. get along with everyone.
