Summer came In on 0 0 Harold V. Fast was a victim of sudden and tragic death in an auto collision at the Intersection of Bellmont and Piqua roads. He was driving to his home east of the city when his car collided with a trailer, throwing him out of the auto into the roadway. Mr. Fast was a crane-operator for the Yost Construction Co. and was recognized as an able workman and mechanic. His death brought sorrow to a host of friends in this community. ——o—o—- — population is growing at an average rate of 1.5 percent - a year, which in the ten year period from 1950 to 1960 should round out a family of nearly 8,500. From 1910 to 1950, the increase in population was 63 percent, of which 24.1 percent came in the decade up to 1950. The growth has been steady and no doubt will continue as long as efforts are made to build a better place in ■which to live. We think the future of Decatur is even better than that already enjoyed in the past. It's a great town. —a—o — Dissension in congress among Republican leaders has prevented President Eisenhower from getting approval of his program. The various factions in the halls of congress ,stubbornly fight each other. Referring-to this condition. Congressman Sam Rayburn in his talk to the Democratic editors in Indianapolis last weekend gave this observation: “If the Democrats hated Ike like the Republicans hated Tum>a«. then there would be no administration legislation passed". Mr. Rayburn predicted the election of a Democrat House and Senate in November. 0 o * Governors from coal-producing states, including Indiana, met in Pennsylvania with Gov. Fine to view the “sick coal industry''.lt hasn't been many years since John L. Lewis road high in demanding high wage boosts “for, miners and premiums on all coal mined. Presumably the meeting was called to bring attention to the plight the coal industry is in and to enlist help from Washington. Competition in the fuel heating business has changed the picture a great deal and now many of the mines are idle and miners are out of jobs. Lewis may have priced himself out of the market.

] A Lack of Vitamin Bi Can Cause Polyneuritis

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WHEN there is a deficiency of Vitamin 8., or thiamine, in the body, the system demonstrates its need for this substance by developing a disease known as polyneuritis. There is wasting of certain nerves with this disease. The first signs of it appear in the active muscles of the body. It usually comes first in the calf muscles. Pain in Muscles The main symptoms are pain and tenderness of these muscles. Usually stretching by movement causes severe pain. The only very early symptom may be a rapid heart beat Sometimes in patients undergoing surgery, there is a lack of Vitamin B> due to the fact that they cannot consume a normal piemental vitamins during the period in which they are bedridden. w They often develop a vitamin deficiency with pain in the calf muscles and other parts of the body. Surgery Complication The symptoms resemble those of thrombophlebitis, or clotting and inflammation in the veins in the lower legs. This is often a 1 serious complication of surgery, which make* it hard for the uhv-

A senate subcommittee is in-

vestigating the problem of undesirable comic books and the connection such publication may have with juvenile delinquency. Comic books alone do not cause juvenile delinquency. They may be a factor, however, and it is right that we should concern ourselves about how to deal with them. Perhaps the most effective way is for parents to keep in touch with what their youngsters are reading and to make every effort to be sure that their children are buying and reading only wholesome books. -—0 0 — Sen. Jenner, posing as a state department adviser, criticises policies which are now formed by President Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles as “Acheson legacy” policies. Mr. Acheson hasn’t been the head of the state department since January, 1953 and probably would be complimented to know that the new administration cannot Carry out a better foreign policy than he had established. Mr.. Jenner's criticism of the administration’s foreign policy is as "constructive” as his proposal that congress first send free China troops to the Indochina war sector, knowing full well that we have no control over any other nation. —0 0 Presidential Papers:— When is private property not private property? When it is the collections of letters and papers accumulated by our presidents. These are the best possible sources tor studying the history of the time, and should be left in libra A. ies where historians can study them. These views were expressed anew by former President Truman, in a recent lecture. Not all presidential families have lived upAo this requirement. Robert Lincoln decided that a number of his father’s letters had no interest and destroyed them. Most people would have the opposite opinion, that anything in the hand of Abraham Lincoln or owned by him is of great interest, sometimes surpassing interest. Mr. Truman recalls that Millard Fillmore's records were almost all destroyed by his family, leaving historians little material on which to base an estimate of him. He might have added that many of Harding’s papers were destroyed. Mr. Truman lives up to his own "rule. His presidential papers are to be preserved in the Truman library, to be built in his native state off Missouri.

slcian to differentiate between the two diseases. Usually, however, clotting of the blood in the legs brings swelling, redness, and tenderness. With this inflammation, there is v usually fever which is not present when there is a vitamin deficiency "In the patient; This form of polyneuritis, duq> to vitamin J, deficiency, will usually disappear in a few days after the vitamin is given. Os course, the doctor will decide when this disease is present and what treatment is necessary for it QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. A.: What would cause a boy infant constantly to'vomit up his food? He has been steadily losing weight. Answer: —The most frequent cause for severe vomiting in an Infant is hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. ........ This disease is caused by a gelatin-like growth around a certain portion of the stomach. It constricts the opening, nbt permitting the food to pass through, X. causing the child to vomit. This disorder most often has to be treated by means,of surgery. It' would be well for you to have your child examined by yodr physician at nnra .J . . ■

CHAPTER TEN JULIA we n t out of Sewell’s room, a bit uneasily, tout the hail was empty. She almost ran to the drug dispensary, and once inside bolted-the door till she had the hypodermic ready. She-hurried back, the syringe properly guarded with a wad of cotton, tout at the door she paused an instant to get her breathing even and her head high. She was dett and impersonal as she sponged Sewell’s arms and the needle went in skillfully, v * it was all wasted, for Pete was not looking at her. He was writing something on a prescription pad and he tore off the sheet and laid it under the night light on the chest of drawers. "Good-day, sir," he said briefly, stuffing ms paraphernalia into nis pockets. “We’ll see that you have a restful day.” Julia murmured again, “Thank you. doctor." But there, was no answer. Sewell said: "Dooley, about Ravel —don’t worry. She doesn't get much fun—Gale won't marry me —" His voice trailed off plaintively. "And you think Ravel might marry you, Sewell ?” He looked startled. .“No, no —I wasn’t even thinking about that." It seemed hours before Sewell’s breathing took on the regular cathat the drug nad taken effect. When Julia was satisfied that tie was deeply asleep she tiptoed across the room and lifted the lamp, unfolded the prescription blanlc. There were three lines oh it. “RX, Miss Dooley "saber 5,000 ' grams less appeal while on professional duty—Marshall, M.D.” She laughed softly to herself. Het wasn’t augry.

humor. And he had called ner "Dooley.” He did have a heart, though Ravel might never discover it. John-Mark Williamson- tramped across the mud-streaked floor ot his front veranda and kicked at one of the long shutters that hung at the parlor window. It made a dry, hollow sound like bones. -He gave it a jerk, but the hinges screeched and held, rusted fast. Una bib to get in this way, be went around and through the side entrance, then up the winding front stairs, his feet leaving broad prints in the dust. The rooms above were all closed off except nis own, and up here the dust and’soot were! not so evident, though the' curtains looked drab and the heavy hand-made counterpane was dingy His mother’s room still held the' lingering fragrance of feminine occupancy, a poignant memory that had been sealed lr with the quiet air. He had come home from a war to find his mother lying dead in this room. He opened a drawer at the side and fingered, a bit numbly, the feminine clutter of handkerchiefs scented with sachet, wrink led gloves and tans, tarnished jewelry in little boxes and at the back a bundle of his own letters, most of them written at sea and stamped with the purple imprint ot the wartime censorship. A box fell open and a small, fine gold chain with a ncavy‘locket attached, slid out. He picked it up and let it run through his fingers, tine as hair, cool as water. In the locket ne knew would be a lock of soft baby hair. "Your wife may like these,” his mother had said once when she sat at the litye table by the window cleaning ner rings, "or, more likely, your daughter, John-Mark, Fashions have away ot skipping a generation. I've almost nothing of my mother’s. I didn't care for the Victorian things she had, but _ my grandmother's old necklaces and bracelets 1 adored and cherished.

"People who wander m at off hours can't expect service like the Waldorf. You didn't do so well for yoursek last night, did you? Your maiden beauty appears to be slightly impaired.” She sat down on a lower step, finished the pone and brushed crumbs off her jacket. “I told Sewell he should let me drive," she said. “He’d had a drink or two and his reactions are rather slow, anyway. When we struck the fog [ 1 could see he was completely contu&jd, but 1 didn’t know how meddled till we took a dive into that high fence around the transformers over there on top ot the hilL 1 hit the windshield, but poor old’ Sewell got a broken leg or something. Dooley is taking care ot him, they told us when Gale called up to inquire." She opened the door into the back parlor and exclaimed, "Ha! A fire!” She went in and squatted on her heels before the fire. "Come and enjoy this,” she summoned him. - _ He followed her into the room, but remained on his feet. She said: "I didn’t know this old ruin could be so comfortable, you and Tony have been living like squatters so long.” "1 could inquire if your bed is made.’! He grinned at her, -but with little mirth. "Oh, Thelma sees to that. She thinks Gale and 1 are a couple of miantile imbeciles so far as the house is concerned. If 1 married you, John-Mark, we’d have to have somebody like Thelma, and then 1 suppose Tony would raise a row. I'm never going to toe bothered with a nouse, because I’ll always be the one to train the horses.” He dropped into a chair and lighted a cigaret, "I could remind you that 1 ~haven't < any horses. Only old Bull, and no woman can ride him.” "Also; when I marry a wife, if ever 1 do, she's going to be more concerned about me than about horses." • "Well, mister," She said, "I may not want to marry you—you're too darn stuffy. But until I make up my mind, no other woman is going to get you. That’s final!” She was &snc like a flash out the door. . . (To Be Continued)

America Leading In World Atomic Race / California Solon Denies Statement WASHINGTON, (UP) — Rep. Craig Hosmer (R-Calif) said today that America is "out in front” In the world atomic race. He denied implying in a recent statement that “we copied our H-bomb from the Russians.” Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-N.Y.) took sharp exception to this idea ip a statement Bunday night. Cole, chairman of the senatehouse atomic energy committee, said then it is "simply not correct” that the JU. S. H-bombs tested recently in the Pacific “are copies of the Russian test of last August.” Cole aimed his statement at reports from former government officials and other congressional sources that the Russians somehow had got the jump on AmerP can scientists in developing tlie hydrogen bomb.
