He Operated a garage in this city for many years and was recognised as an efficient mechanic. Later he engaged in the grocery business. His death in Dayton, Ohio, closed a life long associated with this community and in which he took a representative role. s_O o A woman will go on the New York Central board of directors if Robert B. Young, former Chesapeake A Ohio railway boss succeeds in his efforts to get control. This is a stand on which his opponents on the Central board might well meet him. Most of the money for investment by Americans is controlled by women, and a woman might easily have useful housekeeping ideas about the unkeep of passenger and dining cars.

Ailment Affecting the Liver

By HERMAN N. BUN3ESEN, M.O. AN occupational hazard, especially for doctors, nurses, and labi oratory workers, is a type of liver Infection transmitted by improperly cleaned sharp instruments. Most of these infections- are passed from one person to another by a virus so small that it passes through a porcelain filter that can hold back larger germs. A person can also catch a liver Infection from contact with instruments that are incorrectly sterilized. Common to Doctors This type of Infection is very common among doctors and medical workers compared to the rest of the population, because they have a greater chance of sticking themselves with contaminated instruments or needles. Most hospitals and physicians are taking special care tn sterilizing all instruments in order to prevent this complication. Fever and Chills With this infection, a person develops high fever, chills, nausea. vomiting, and is otherwise severely 111 His liver becomes -•* large and tender, and he develops a yellow coloring tojhlsskln. ? ••• ■ , A

in testimony before a house appropriations committee considering the budget prepared by the bureau of Indian affairs it was i revealed that the average life • span of the Navajo Indians is 20 j years. The average span for white , Americans is 68.4. The comparison is shocking. Medical author!- ■ ties said that deaths from tuberculosis are more than nine times as great among Navajos as among whites. Deaths from dysentery, measles and gastroenteritis also exceeded the average. The bureau had better Inaugurate a health program on the reservations or the government will find itself without wards. —o—ot— Henry Litmanowits died of wounds he suffered in Korea fighting for the United States. It was his last wish that he should become a citizen of the country for which he gave his life and President Eisenhower signed a bill granting him posthumous citizenship. Litmanowitz was only 21 years old. He came here from Germany in and entered the army in 1951. In September of 1952 he was killed. He knew what tyranny was. He also knew what America was and he loved his adopted land. He paid heavily for the privilege, as millions of Americans before him did. Gen. David Sarnoff, chairman of the board of Radio Corporation of America, sees no possibility of a depression in this country. In a current magazine article, the famed industrialist and business leader discusses the economic future of America. He says that the average American family, which lives better than any family in the world, will continue to prosper and in the not top distant future will own both a summer and winter home and also a helicopter or a pleasure boat. Mr. Sarnoff is an immigrant to this country and has elimbed with America's opportunities. Advertising also has played an important part in creating America’s economic democracy, the general believes. “Advertising' has introduced women to new labor-saving devices . . . eliminate advertising and demand would slack off and costs would rise so high that only the rich could afford these mechanical marvels” is the way Gen. Sarnoff sizes up the situation.

SYNOPSIS Dr. Stephen Carr is about to leave his native Norfolk in the mid-west, for Army duty in the Pacific. He has arranged with his old friend. Dr. Craig Talboy. a skilled physician, to,come to Norfolk from a distant city for the purpose of taking over the Carr medical practice. Talboy arrives and is warmly greeted by Carr and his gracious wife. Shelly., at dinner. In their home. Shelly la struck by the dark handsome Talboy’* dynamic force, his charm and sense of humof and especially by his generally bad opinion of the medical profession as a whole. Fearfully, she wonders whether her husband's patients will find this bluntly trank nonconformist, acceptable as their doctor. Carr leaves for his mission to the Orient and Dr. Talboy promptly dismisses Carr’s long devoted office clerk. Miss Cobb. L CHAPTER NINE TALBOY probably didn't know how hard it would be to replace Miss Cobb. Maybe Shelly herself would have to fill in— Her face brightened. Why, what a wonderful idea! Her days then would be full, and she could perhaps sleep better at night, not be so achingly aware of her loneliness. She selected a plain dress of dark blue, thin flannel, and laid out a coat of red fleece, a little helmet hat. She ate breakfast quickly, decided again — and ineffectually — that she must discharge Harry and Dorina; their attitude was insufferable, and she was sure they “toted” altogether too much home from the kitchen! She didn’t need both man and wife now that she entertained so little. And if she went to the of&co every day— Shelly had to drive past the hospital to reach the pretty little cottage office which had been Stephen’s. His name still hung In gold and black over the door, now with Dr. Craig Taiboy’s shingle below it She pulled her car into the place where Stephen had always put'his, and withdrew the keys, dropping them Into her red purse as she got out. She looked up to find that Dr. Talboy was standing at the entrance. White coat, dark hair, brightly questioning eyes—lt was time for office hours and he should have been busy! “Hello, Shelly," he said warmly. "You don’t come around nearly often enough." —a. “Have I been needed?" She shook hands with him, and followed him into the building. A dozen patients sat in chairs in the rooms to either side of the hall; the nurse’s white cap was bent aver the reception desk. —**!-.just came to see if I could help you,

Doctor,” Shelly said almost breathlessly. This was her first visit to the place since Stephan had left. And . , . "That’s very kind of you.” He waited, cool now, and noncommittal. Oh, dear; Shelly had known known from the first that this man could be difficult—when he wanted to be. She looked up at him earnestly. “What’s wrong here?” she asked, almost in a whisper. “What was the trouble?” —- He indicated his private office, and she went in; he followed her find closed the door. They sat opposite each other. "There’s been no actual trouble, Shelly.” '"’•But Miss Cobb phoned me and said—’’ “Ah. yes!“ He tipped his head to one side, and smiled enigmatically. "Miss Cobb,” he said. "She’s left!” His tone conjured up Miss Cobb’s prim presence. No longer young, and very earnest—- “ Did you fire her, Dr. Talboy?" The- smile strengthened. "Let’s say she departed by mutual agreement.” “Oh, dear! Stephen found her very efficient" "So did I! So did I! but when I want to be hag-ridden, I’ll get married and have some of the advantages of that condition.” —-" Shelly sighed. “Stephen . . .” she . murmured... . ..... “Miss Cobb was—is—in love with your husband.” Dr. Talboy spoke roughly. “Not in a fleshly sense. She adores him! That’s her term, and it is apt She —in no sense—is in love with me.” His voice was as soft as cotton. "She hates me!”- he said happily. The phone, buzzed, and he snapped a button. “Five minutes!” he told the nurse. “I know —we'll all be late.” He shut off the intercom. » During the interruption, Shelly sat politely withdrawn. He’s very handsome in his white coat, her errant thoughts remarked. It's a matter of his dark, strong-looking skin—his thick neck and jaw—his hand . . . She pulled herself together with a jerk. » — "You’re such a pretty girl,” he said after a moment of silence. “How Carr could be patriotic enough to go off Shelly took a adeep breath. "You’ve patients waiting, Doctor, and J came here to see if I could help, not to get in the way.”

He sighed. “Yes, we should get this matter of Miss Cobb taken care of, shouldn’t we? Not that she. nad any real point of disagreement, Shelly! There is only one reason to have two waiting rooms—it balances the looks of the place. But that woman used those two rooms to divide our callers iqto sheep and goats. Now, don t you think that’s silly?” Shelly ventured to glance at him. "On what basis did she divide them?" she asked warily. "Snobbish grounds, of course. If she had distinguished between contagious and noncontagious— But, no! Our iate departed Miss Cobb put society into one room, plant workers in the other!” He tipped bfiC’iC in Ute chair and waited for SseUy to be horrified. Or amused. She was neither. She calmly waited for him to continue, and she saw a spark of fire snap m his eyes. “I consider it highly therapeutic,” he said impressively, “for Eleanor Walsh to have to sit for 30 tninuteS beside a clay puddlcr fresh from his job,” Eleanor! Shelly bit do w n a laugh, but she thought her cheeks had probably gone pink. Craig Taiboy was attractive in a white coat; in a surgeon's mask and gown, he would be . . . Her cheeks flaming, slje made a deliberate effort to control her imagination. Women did gdt silly over the outward attributes of a doctor's profession, but doctor’s wife! _ r „_ '“Prewett doesn’t mind,” Dr. Talboy was saying in an argumentative tone. "Why in the world’ should she?” |”Oh, do you know the Reverend Mr. Prewett?” she asked inconsequentially. '“Of course I know him. I live tu|ar him, and he s a patient. Duodenal ulcer. But as 1 was .saying—though you weren’t listening—’’ “I was listening,” she insisted. “You were saying that you had started out to offend all the conventions of this town.” Now the spark in his eyes was unmistakable, and, back on sale ground, Shelly laughed. “Can't I sit out at the desk this morning she asked earnestly. yi can receive patients, and answer the phone—and let the nurse be free to help you.” He nodded briskly, pressed the buzzer and thejiurse—Miss Browne —came in. Red-headed, crisp— not pretty, but most attractive in her white cap and' uniform. - ■ (To Be Continued}
