Good Friday:— (Gospel of the Crucifixion) by St. Mattnew Now when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, Joseph by name, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be given up. And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb, and departed.

But like many events, it*s the little things that count. A bookkeeping error of only $167 iners the tip that something was wrong and the sequence is like all other gyps.

Mock Polio Vanishes Quickly -I

By HERMAN N. BUNBEStN, M.D. i HYSTERIA brought on by the fear of polio can, under certain conditions, actually cause symptoms of the disease real enough to send patients to a-hospital. As the.polio season approaches, many people become very alarmed about the fact that polio could affect them. Their nervous fright may give way to hysterical symptoms, and they may actually convince themselves and those around them that they are Indeed victims of poliomyelitis. A Way Out These people may be unable to move their limbs. They may show great limitation in moving their \ arms. Usually, they have some pre-existing mental conflict. Unconsciously, the supposed development of their poliomyelitis paralysis is a convenient way of disposing of their tensions. It is estimated that up to 37 per cent of the persons who are admitted to hospitals with presumptive poliomyelitis do not have the disease.. Many, of them | are suffering from this type of nervousness. Besides the paralysis, they may also have suchi

took place the other evening in Bluffton. 1,100 persons hearing a talk by Dr. Nicholas Nyaradi, former finance minister of Hungary. Now the professor of economics at Bradley University, Dr. Nyaradi spoke on the perils of Communism that face the world. He cited instances how Stalin and men in the Kremlin faked the invasion of Hungary and took away their liberty. To Americans he said that “complacency and indifference of the people constitute the greatest danger to America”. The former Hungary leader escaped the country before the Reds took over. The outstanding meeting was sponsored by the Bluffton Rotary club. i 0 0 Republican newspapers, headed by the Indianapolis News and Star are demanding the resignation of Republican state chairman Paul Cyr. As a politician and party leader, Cyr baa committed an uaforgiveable offense. He launched an attack against Gov. Craig, who heads the state organisation and the battle is one of the hottest ever waged in Hoosierdom. The Star remarks, ’The GOP ought to have a state chairman mature enough and responsible pnough to guard its essential duty. We think th'e Republicans ought to be rid of Paul Cyr”. In The interparty fights, Cyr was elected to the state post by factions supported' by Senators Capehart and Jenner. He will find that Mr. Craig has a whip that may make his name to cry. 0 o Canada And China: — Canada has so much in common with the United States that it comes as a surprise to read that the Canadians are seriously considering recognising Communist China and supporting Its candidacy for membership in the United Nations. If the Chinese are conciliatory at the coming Geneva conference this new policy is likely to be put into effect. The Ottawa government is not I .. likely .to . take this step its own. It must have consulted Great ' Britain, which is known to favor admitting China into the UN, and certainly has been influenced by the talks the Canadian premier. Louis St. Laurant, had with India’s prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Both Great Britain and India favor China’s admission. Our opposition to recognising China finds its great strength on the Pacific' .coast. The fact that Sen. Knowland of California is Republican majority leader tends to urge the Eisenhower administration to follow his lead. If the President had a free hand, he might change our policy. ■—-—L

I complaints as tightness of the neck, low back pain, headache and a stuffiness in the nose. Usually, such people have a morbid interest in polio and considerable self-concern. Technique to Follow However, any person who exhibits these polio-like symptoms should be hospitalized and examined to determine whether polio Is or is not present. If a careful study by a physician reveals that there is no polio, the patient should be reassured. In most instances, the paralysis will disappear as last as it came, and the person will pe able to resume a normal life. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. R. P.: Is it true that a person who suffers a head concussion may have symptoms many months afterwards? Answer: Yes, this is true. Many times these persons complain of headache, giddiness and various I types of mental disturbances following such an Injury. It is advisable that if these ! symptoms persist the person have , X-rays and an electroencephaloI gram study of the brain. -

That's why 1 want to do something about it.” "No, it wouldn’t be right What you have is for your own children. They’d resent me and they’d be right.” “What would money do for them except to make them weaker and more irresponsible than they arc already ? Sally wants het own apartment I’ve already agreed to pay for it If she’ll get a job ana go to work to clothe herself.
