In someone's eye you'll be the only person seen In the Easter parade. o 0 The joy of Easter Is felt with your participation In church services. 0 0 — The GOP nominee for U. S. senator in Illinois brags that he is neither a “Taft Republican", nor an 'Eiaenhower-Ttepublican”. Republican voters may take him at his word. / 0 0 A native son of Adairsville, Ga., who “made good" in the Oklahoma oil business, willed >30,000 to his home town of 990 population. The city fathers say they don’t know what to do with the windfall but we bet a way-will be found to “invest" the proceeds. 0 0 Just one hydrogen bomb, we are told, can wipe out New York City. Other targets, perhaps, are Detroit as an automotive center, Pittsburgh and Gary for their steel, and, still more probable, Washington. For a long time New York was our most important city, a distinction now passed to Washington. New York still has the largest financial accumulations, but the last word as to policy comes from Washington. A bomb that wiped out the White House, the cabinet, congress and the Pentagon would just halt the federal government. Eventually the nation would find successors, but by that time the task of gaining victory would be immeasurably harder. ’ —-- One civil war battle still celebrated annually in Shiloh. Here on the Tennessee River in April, 1>62, was fought the severest battle of the war. Union forces under Grant were taken by surprise by Confederates under Albert Sidney Johnston, but later rallied and drove the enemy from the field. This year’s commemoration presented an interesting feature when Maj.-Gen. U. S. Grant 111, grandson of the Union commander, walked across the battlefield to greet Col. William B. Ruggles, whose grandfather, ■ Gen. Daniel Ruggles, was one of the Confederate leaders. This gesture of amity is one more reminder of the healing of ‘ the wounds between the North and South.

Normal Blood Pressure Varies

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. PHYSICALLY and mentally, the borderline between the normal and the abnormal is indeed thin. One of the hardest tasks of medicine is to decide the line that divides the two. This holds especially true in regard to blood pressure. One of the most important questions that is asked a physician by his patients is what is normal blood pressure and what are high and low blood pressure. Measured in Millimeters Blood pressure is usually measured in millimeters of mercury In both systolic and diastolic phases. The genera,)ly accepted upper limit of 140 to 150 millimeters mercury-systolic and 80 to 80 millimeters mercury diastolic pressure is what most physicians consider normal. However, many of these figures come from Insurance company statistics, taken from young persons usually in the prime of life, and are not, therefore, applicable to the average person. Ideal Blood Pressure It Is believed that the Insurance companies' concept of the problem Is often actually based on what is known as ideal blood pressure rather than normal blood pressure. It has, at times, been noted that pressures above 150 systolic and 90 diastolic were

Not even the wealthiest men in the world can be sure of theft incomes these days. The Nlsam of Hyderabad recently took a cut of >526,000 a year in his pay from the Indian government. This cut amounts to one halt of the annual compensation he receives for the crown lands he surrendered four years ago. His pay from now on will be >526,000 a year, instead of the >1,052,000 he had been getting. However, he’ll still receive an annual >2,104,000-a-year expense account. And the cut in pay will not affect the reputed two-billlo* dollar hoard of gold, jewels and cash that the Nisam has salted away in the banks of Bombay. No one need feel sorry for him. • ,■ o 0— The report and recommendations of the Indiana University educators next Friday on the Decatur school system should be of great interest to taxpayers and school patrons. The reports will deal with the various phases of education and operation of bchools, including administration, buildings and future considerations in the expansion of the local school plant. Experts in these classifications will present their respective reports and answer questions pertaining to their summaries and recommendations. The best results in the operation of schools and furthering the . . .cause of education are obtained when the community enters into the problems and lends a helping hand to school trustees and faculty. Next week’s meeting should see a turn out of interested persons who will fill the high school auditorium. •’ • 0 0 A Joyful Easter:— in the midst of our uncertainties and tensions, the meaning of Easter Is particularly significant and comforting. Easter 4s the celebration of “life over death”, the assurance from God of our redemption . . . eternal life hereafter. The glory of His Resurrection. As the Angel reminded those at the tomb, saying: "Do not - be terrified. You are looking for Jesus of NalSreth, who was crucified. He has Risen, He is not here”. ‘ We should remember that the lessons Jesus taught are still the best hope of mankind for whom He willingly gave His life. In this spirit, we wish you a joyous Easter!

recorded in persons over the age of 50 who were in apparent excellent health and showed no evidence of any heart or blood vessel disease. More recent studies have shown that the average blood pressure, particularly the systolic pressure, Increases with age, most often after the age of 50. More Common in Women Men are less likely to develop high blood pressure than women, and it is usually not the basis of their heart disease, although when they do develop it, It comes at an earlier age. In women, high blood pressure usually occurs after the age of 50, and often precedes a coronary heart attack. It is important to remember that an isolated, single blood pressure determination taken In the somewhat strange surroundings of a physician’s office is not always a true sample of the blood pressure. The patient's nervousness may have some effect on the blood pressure. A true study can be determined only by repeated taking of the blood pressure by the physician over days and weeks under pleasant, relaxed Conditions. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. W. C.: Will ACTH and cortisone help the common cold? Answer: No, they will not. How-, ever, even if they did, these drugs are far too potent to be used for such a simple illness.

Newspaper Editors Close Annual Meet Herbert Hoover To Speak This Evening WASHINGTON UP — Newspaper editors turned a critical eye on themselves today for a look at how well the profession is living up to its obligations. It was a feature of the closing business session | of the annual three-day meeting of the American society of newspaper editors. Former President Herbert Hoover is to speak at the annual banquet tonight. The final day also offered a “salute to Canada” with a speech by Robert H. Winters, Canadian minister of public works, at lunch. The workshop session covered such questions as "slanted writing,” picture-taking in courtrooms, barriers to newsgathering, and free space for listing radio-tele vision programs. In a prepared speech today, Coleman A. Harwell, editor of the Nashville Tennessean, told how the Nashville papers dropped radio-TV logs last January. "As we see it,” he said, “publication of the logs is a service to the public. But it is not, in our opinion, the responsibility of the newspapers to render this service. That is the responsibility of the TV and radio stations themselves.” Norman E. Isaacs, managing editor of the .Louisville, Ky., Times, said he didn't find enough evidence of “slanted writing” to cause any concern. The editors took a look at "McCarthy in the news” in a debate late Friday. \ JamesrKerneyJ?r editor of the Trenton, N.J., Times, described Sen, Joseph R. (McCarthy (R-Wis.), as the ‘worst senator in history” and Sam H. Day, managing editor of York Journal American. called him a valiant fighter against Communism. Kerney said (McCarthy presents a problem to the newspaper business because of “the unreliability of the news he makes.” He recommended careful editing and the utmost care to give those accused by the Senate spy-hunter “equal prominence” in news columns. Day said “he would-concede'that McCarthy “exaggerates in hfs’accusations and sometimes goes off half-cocked” but -he challenged critics to tackle the Communist problem with as much vigor as they attack the senator. Day said the senate investigation into Communist infiltration of the army has been stopped In its tracks because of the current feud between McCarthy and the army. “The Communists have made noteble propaganda victories,” lie said, ‘but in making anti-Commu-nikm a political issue in thp United States they have won their greatest victory of all.” Stationed At Camp Chaffee Four Decatur area soldiers at Camp Chaffee.

SIX letters LUCILLA ■igfc ■

To My Beloved Wife Lucilla: Glorious, is the news I scud you today! Jesus lives! The Nazarene has triumphed, how I do not know, over the tomb. He whom I saw dead upon the cruel rack of the cross again walks the earth among the living. Jesus lives, and though I have not seen the Nazarene yet this is true. And I have proof! It came about in this fashion: The morning sun still stood just above the brink of the hills when, at my bidding, my friend Carus, the centurion, guided me to the sepulchre where Jesus had been entombed. y As we approached we saw the great rock with which the tomb had been sealed was rolled aside. The doorway gaped wide and the legionndiries who had been posted as guard there were wandering about in a fashion. Carus questioned them sharply and this was their astounding story: Sometime before, a mighty, unseen force had stricken them to the ground and when they recovered their senses the rock had been rolled away from the entrance and the body of Jesus had vanished from within the tomb. . Instead, the soldiers said, they encountered a being of dazzling brightness who assured them the Nazarene had indeed arisen from among the dead. All had seen this ghostly messenger, they declared. !, myself, entered the tomb and as I stood within that empty vault I seemed to hear within me a voice which bade me return home and await the time when one of the followers of Jesus would come to me and explain the teachings Os the Nazarene that I might, too, become a follower. So, on the morrow I will take ship for Capri where I will ask an audience of the Imperator to beg him that he assign a greater hand than mine to fashion that statue he so desires: And then, home to you and the children! Lucilla, you Will find me a changed man. I no longer put great stock in fame and good fortune, not even the praise of our Imperator. I seek now only the truth and to live by it, and follow in the way of Jesus, with you by my side. , - . Your faithful husband, (Created by WILLIAM RITT.
