The School Survey:— Not as an editorial endorsement of all the recommendations made by the Indiana School Study Commission on Decatur’s school system, but as'i service to our readers who wish to be informed on this very important subject, we herewith list many of the recommendations from the survey report: “It is recommended that the -.officials of the school city keep in mind the need of community recreational and social facilities when they are planning new school buildings. It the facilities planned for the community center (Decatur Community Center) do not appear to meet community needs, then the school city will have a remarkable opportunity to provide readily available community facilities in the buildings tor both north and south parts of Decatur. “It is apparent that the 7th grade will shortly have to be moved out of the high school building to make room for the growing numbers in grades 8 through 12. The 7th grade will move into the Lincoln school when new construction or rented quarters will niake such a move possible. That would result in an interim K-7-5 organization which could continue until the growing numbers in, grades 9 to 12 would no longer ehable the Sth grade to be housed in the high school building. By that time new construction should ehable the Bth grade to move into the Lincoln building. The 7th and Bth grades then could be treated as part of a junior high school gtoup, and the vertical organization plan would then be K-6-2-4. "It Is recommended *that the Decatur school continue to operate under the annual promotion plan. “It is recommended that, if and when the high school building becomes overcrowded and an extra classroom is needed, the office of and the board of school trustees be vacated and the space Used for classroom purposes, “It is recommended that the school officials adopt a program * of an annual continuous school census to be taken In the spring of each year whereby all additional children would be accounted for, and further, that they establish in the superintendent's office a continuous enumeration record to be kept of all children in the school corporation from birth to 16 years of age. Enrollment estimates should be restudled aV least every two years and

I Female Change of Life ' Not a Sudden Occurrence By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D.

THE menopause is no sudden change tn women that develops immediately past the age of forty. Many women, however, believe that this is just the case. They consider the symptoms, such as hot flushes, headaches, and dizziness, as accompaniments of this difficulty L Many of them also believe that when menstruation stops, they can no longer conceive children and are, therefore, through with the change of Use. This is a mistaken belief. Glandular Cycle The ovaries, or female sex glands, go through a certain cycle. There is a period in youth when they work on a small scale. Through the twenties and thirties, they are very active. When a woman approaches the age of forty, the ovaries again work to a lesser degree in most instances: Many women in their thirties may have symptoms attributable to a decreased function of their «ex glands. They are actually beginning an eeJly change of life. Early Symptoms They may have some form of menstrual difficulty, such as excessive er intermittent bleeding.

adjustments made in the prediction table in accordance with the new population trends. “It is recommended that efforts be made to reduce class loads in some of the elementary grade looms .. . The school administration is to be commended for the efforts Already . mode, towardsreduction of overloaded classes. "It is recommended that a more definite daily and annual maintenance and housekeeping schedule be adopted for the school buildings. "it is recommended that the school administration continue the replacement of incandescent electric lights with fluorescent or cold cathode tubes so as to provide a minimum of 30 footcandles of light at desk level in the high school building. K “it is recommended that policy be adopted of repainting the existing black chalkboards with a me-dium-green paint made especially for that purpose. ’“lt is recommended that additional bulletin boards be installed in the classrooms in the Lincoln and high schools. “Jit is recommended that approval playground equipment be installed at the Lincoln school. “It is recommended that the automatic heat controls at the Lincoln school be completely renovated and put in proper working condition. “It is recommended that overcrowding in the Lincoln school be relieved for the V 54-55 school year by rental of the rooms belonging to the Lutheran church. “It is recommenced that, as soon as new building construction makes it "possible to do so, a cafeteria be provided on the lower floor of the Lincoln school by removal of some of the non-load-bearing walls to provide for a kitchen and dining room to serve the pupils in the Lincoln school and the high school. It is recognized .that, because of crowded conditions, nothing can be done —about lunch —rooms —until —new buildings are constructed. “It is recommended that, whenever the suggested alteration in the Lincoln school is undertaken, the entire building should be remodeled and redecorated in order to make it as serviceable as possible for elementary classes and the first two years of . a junior high school. "It is recommended that, before a new elementary building is constructed, the school authorities take the wishes of the parents into consideration to ascertain the need for a lunch room in the building.’’

i They may suddenly gain weight s around the hips and breasts, and . have feelings of nervousness, ten- • slon or excitability. Many of these women have headaches, and some have a feeling of ants crawling around their body. j It is important to remember ! that each woman varies as to the , time when she goes through the • change of life. Thirty-Eight to Fifty? Some women enter this period when they are thirty-eight, while others do not go into it until they are fifty. Many women, even at a younger age, have ovaries that do not work too actively. They may have menopausal symptoms due to the Improper function of these glands. When symptoms develop, the physician should be consulted. He will determine what treatment is necessary, such as administration of glandular extracts. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. P. C.: When a child is said to have cerebral palsy, does that mean that he will be deficient mentally? Answer: No, this is not necessarily so. Many children who have cerebral palsy have a normal or above-average intelligence.

Despite the pinch ot poverty. Gale Tabet tried to keep up with her fine old family traditions, maintaining the horse-breeding farm in Tennessee which had come to her upon her husband's death. But it was a non-profit venture, she found, one which steeped her In ever mounting debt. She could easily have solved her financial problem by accepting wealthy Sewell Albright a oft-repeated oner of marriage, but Gale Taber loved only her two daughters, now of marriageable age. She had hoped that John-Mark Williamson. a substantial young farmer, might one day marry ber dynamic daughter. Ravel, but to her dismay she learned that John-Mar* wanted to wed her quiet daughter. Julia, a student nurse at their local hospital. Julia thought that young Dr. Pete Marshall with whom she worked might be inter- , ested in her. until she sensed his interest in her handsome red-haired sister. Ravel. And Pete was intrested. somewhat. in Ravel until he came upon her drinking with the ageing Sewell Albright. in a public case, an evening of revelry which resulted tn an automobile accident and which landed Albright in the hospital where Dr. Marshall and nurse Julia Taber now attend him. CHAPTER NINE JULIA said, "How did you know that I was off duty tonight?" “I made an inquiry," John-Mark said. They sat through a moving picture m a comfortable and unexciting kina ot companionship and now they perched on stools at a fountain drinking hot chocolate. John-Mark was all dressed up, she r noticed. ' "Isn’t that a brand-new topcoat? And the hat, too?" He grinned. "Time 1 had something new, don’t you think ?” “You’ve seen Gale, Johnny?” she asked. "Are things better with her?" “1 saw her for a few minutes just at dark tonight. 1 think I'm going to be able to get rid ot some ot her stock soon. Not settled, but it looks hopeful. Ravel is running around a lot right now, but Gale ♦says she isn’t lonely." "That’s new, tor Ravel.” “More news. I'm going to paint

my nouse." She teit a faint uneasiness at that, but John-Mark did not pursue whatever thought may have been in his mind. He drove her back to the hospital and said goodnight casually. “We ll do this again some time," he promised, but with no implications at all. • • • Pryor looked at her watch as Julia came into the room. "You just did get under the wire," she remarked. "1 understand from Delia that His Glacial Arrogance was whooping It up for you down in .emergency an hour or two since." "Let him whoop. I’m off duty,” ,

Julia heard herself saying callously. _ But it was not yet light when the night supervisor knocked loudly on the door. “Taber," she said, when Julia was able to rouse herself enough to admit her, ‘‘we have a wild man down in 418 who won’t have anybody on duty with him but you. Seems he has Influence.” She super capitalized the word acidly. “He’s gone clear up to the high brass and Dr. Bail'd asked me to put you on special duty down there. We re trying to get him under but I think you’d better take over right away.” Julia Said, “Yes, Miss Porter—but am 1 supposed to do special duty?”.., ’ "Exception. Orders from on high.

cept for routine, menial clean-up jobs which fell to the probationers, so Julia felt like an intruder in her pink uniform with white apron and cap as she opened the door. Two people were sitting in the room, a girl in a smart brown suit and fur cape and a young man witn a bored, dissipated face who sprawled in the deep chair, rapping a cigaret on his thumbnail. On the bed Sewell Albright was lying, sunk deep, with a drained and swollen face. He turned nis head and a relieved smile lightened his face. ' "Well, Dooley, 1 thought I was going to have to tear down this place brick by brick to get you in here!" “Good’gracious, Sewell, what happened to you?” “Hit a post in the fog. Steering wheel came up and busted my leg. Now they’ve got me anchored down with a ton of concrete.” The girl said: “Hello, Dooley. He’s been in a horrible state since thft anaesthetic wore off. If he wasn't in that cast he’d have been storming out of here.” The young man answered Julia’s greeting with a lazy flick of a mcotined finger. "He’s lucky at nis age that he wasn't killed,” he drawled. “That comes from running around with the gals when he ought to be at home listening to his arteries harden.” “Lucky ?” roared the patient, rapping resentfully on the cast with his knuckles. “You call it lucky to be turned into a human tombstone ?” "You might have fractured your skull,” his daughter reminded him. “You should be qtiiet now." Julia was crisply professional. ”Y ou needn't stay any longer, Sally—nor you, Pierce. He’ll be all right, but he needs to rest.” "Glad 1 remembered you worked

here, Dooley." Sewell was plaintive. "They had a comic valentine working on me for a while. Eyeglasses on a black string and an imitation Boston accent.” "Miss Moote. She's a very capable nurse." "1 told ’em I wouldn’t have anybody but you. Had to go all the way to the top—get the big boss put ot bed in the middle ot the night before 1 put it over. Why don’t you kids get out of here? Run along home yoar marbles. Dooley will take care of me.” ' Sally Albright got to her feet. She Was 24, a handsome girl with high cheekbones accenting a heart-

shaped face, slow dark eyes and a carefully achieved air of scornful remoteness. She drew on her gloves deliberately. She said: "Rav was in his car. AU she got was a black eye, 1 understand.” Julia looked aghast. John-Mark hadn’t told her, or hadn’t he known ? “Oh. I didn’t know,”' she said. Ravel running around nights with Sewell. And she didn’t want > him. Did Gale want him, and because he was someone else’s man ; did Ravel’s predatory instincts go , to work? , Sally shrugged her cape around her shoulders. “We’re being tossed i out,, brother, dear," she said. "You may as .well take yourself home i and get a little sleep.” She went > to Liie bed, gave hes father a peck 4 of a kiss on his high forehead, flicked a caressing linger' over his 1 cheek.

He might need to be lifted or something.” Julia shook her head. ‘That won’t be necessary. 1 can always ring for an orderly. He’ll be much better if you go home and let me get him relaxed and sleeping.” He did not stir. “How long do you think the old man might oe laid up? I’m likely to be drafted into the Army before long and 1 may need some wires pulled to get rhe Into officers' training.” "Listen," barked his • father. "S|e's asked you politely to get out of here. Call a husky, Dooley, and have him thrown out.” “I’ll speak •to the floor supervisor." Julia started for the door. But Pierce Albright was at the door before her and caught tier in his arms. “A cute little thing you are, Dooley Taber.” He held her tightly, pressing .her arms down at her 1 sides, "Run out on a fellow, would you? Get me thrown out of this dump.” : Fighting to free%her'”h and s, i Julia was thankful to see the door i swing inward. Pete Marshall stood ■ there, a grim look on nis face. “What goes on tier’e, Miss i Taber?” he demanded angrily. Julia wriggled tree, straightening her face flushed with , embarrassment and fury. Till's man is annoying me, doctor. I . asked him to leave and he refused 1 to go.” "Hit him, doctor,” urged Sewell "He's my son. but he needs a good sock m. the jaw.” Pete looked Pierce Albright up i and dov.n coldly. "Out!” he said. Pierce grinned. "You like to keep , the cute ones fqr yourself, don’t you, doctor?” I In a swift move Pete had

Pierce’s collar and belt in a commando grip and had shoved him through the door into the halt A buzzer was sounding shrilly out there as the girt at the desk pressed a panicky thumb upon it. There were running footsteps on the iron stairs. But inside the room Pete waa straightening his coat and the stethoscope that had twisted behind his back and there was a taut silence broken only by Julia's still hurried breath. She said finally: “Thank you, doctor.” - Sewell said: “Don’t look at her like that, doctor. She was trying to get him to leave. Dooley w’asn't to blame. She was trying to get

him out. Pierce is my son, but I don’t brag about his rearing.” 1 “Sorry.” Pete Marshall’s tone was completely impersonal and detached as he approached the bed, pulling a blood-pressure apparatus from his pocket. “Will you get this patient ready, Taber, if you please?" ' “Doctor, Pierce is just a boy I’ve known all my life—” Julia began anxiously. , Pete frowned, winding the bandage around Sewell’s arm. “We ll call the incident closed, if you don’t mind. My apologies, Mr. Albright, for treating your son so roughly.” > —— "Hah! Manhandling is what he needs. Good tiling you came tn when, you did or 1 would have been out of here, concrete job and all."

Capehart, Jenner Attack Gov. Craig Group Forces For Primary Showdown INDIANAPOLIS TTP — Sens. William Jenner and Homer Capehart teamed up today against Governor Craig’s '•selfish rebel” forces -in the bitter Republican party factional fight. They spent the weekend in Indiana grouping strength for the May 4 primary showdown and jointly issued attacks on Craig. Jenner and Capehart urged recognition of “a Republican organisation that is accomplished by the processes of precedences and law and not by a few selfish individuals.” Craig forces are “selfish” because "they take unto themselves power that belongs to the party,” Jenner charged. Capehart said the governor heads a “rebel organization" and "there’s no place for that” in GOP politics. The senators said Craig's faction bypassed duly elected party leaders in 60 per cent of the state when handing out patronage. They also attacked Craig for establishing a private campaign fund separate from state headquarters. Craig is "collecting funds that properly belong to the Republican organization,” Capehart said. He said Republicans will take a "good look” when financial reports ot the Craig faction are filed. Craig called the Jenner-Capehart stand “unfortunate.” He said their statements “break faith with the people." “With the responsibility the Republican party is carrying for the American people, it is well if they can't speak well of one another, they'd best not speak.” Craig said. The senators and Craig head op-
