A City Problem:— With two construction projects on the Decatur planning-table, one for a new school building and the other to build a sewage treatment plant with its attendant sewers, citizens are apprised that the municipality is expanding and that public works will be a major factor in community development. Recommendation by an Indiana University school study commission for a new grade school in the north part of the city this year, and construction of a second building in the south section tn 1956, was made a week ago. The school trustees have not yet resolved to carry out the recommendation, but if one building is to be completed for next year’s use, then official deliberation cannot long be delayed. The school projects will be financed by direct taxes and general obligation bonds, liquidated through tax levies. Mandated by the Indiana state board of health in 1944 to build a sewage treatment plant and to cease pollution of St. Mary's river with raw sewage, the council Is faced with an almost immediate decision in the health board ruling. Beyond the planning stage, preliminary plans have already been prepared for the proposed >1,100,000 treatment plant and sewer system for the city by Consoer, Townsend & Associates consulting engineers of Chicago. These plans call for a huge Interceptor running the length of the city along the river bank from the south corporate limits to a point north of the corporation to Scbnepf Brpth e rjp,.larm. where a site for the building and treatment beds has been donated. In counseling the council, the engineers advise that 40-year revenue bonds be issued to finance the project. Councilmanic legislation will be required in the enactment of an ordinance levying a service charge or use tax on all city water meter patrons. Charges would be set up for householders, business places and industry to create revenue to operate the treatment plant, liquidate the bonds and pay the interest on the indebtedness. If the 40-year plan is accepted, average annual amortisation figures >25,000. Based on current security markets, interest on the bonds would not exceed four percent. To these outlays must be

Some People Imagine They Have a Sickness

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.O. ANXIETY is normal to *ll thinking creatures and is one of the ways in which man differs from animals. However, abnormal worries and fears are signs of hidden stresses Within the person, it is anxiety In relation to possible disease that brings many patients to a doctor, even though they have no actual physical illness. gearch for Disease It is part of this anxiety that leads certain patients to go from doctor to doctor in search of a .cure for a disease that does not exist. j Many people are upset by the eancer and heart posters, although this fear Is actually a iymptom of certain strains within themselves. Usually, after a period of stress or sorrow, or some vying experience the disturbances become more manifest. Anxiety's Symptoms A person exfclblting this type of nervousness has a flushed feeling, is restless, perspires freely and has shaking hands. His pulse k usually rapid and he complains bf a dry mouth. Often such a person has a great fear of dying from cancer, heart disease, or some other illness. As soon as a physician tells him that he has no physical disease,

added the coat of operating the plant The engineers estimate these three-fold expenditures upward to 675,000, at least during the first few years of bond amortization when the interest payments will be the highest. Estimated on the 2455 water meters now in use, the annual charge for sewage disposal Would run somewhere between 630 and 640, the experts calculate. There is no opposition to the over-all health objective in demanding that cities clean up their rivers and cease pollution of the streams. Every progressive community Is interested in protecting the health of citizens. If sewage treatment plants accomplish this goal, more power to the state officials who contend that the waters of our inland streams should not be corrupted with raw sewage. However, there is a thought that might defer the mandate for another year. It has been ten years since the first order was issued. War and government controls prevented earlier compliance. A community's ability to meet financial obligations in several public projects at the same time, is worthy of consideration by the state board. 0 0 There are 11,757 persons properly registered to vote in the May primary. The challenge will be to get half that number to cast their ballot next Tuesday. 0 o— _ , L. V. Phillips, commissioner of Indiana high sehoo! basketball and an enthusiastic leader in amateur spoK created a fine impression in this city with his visit here the other day. He spoke to local high school groups and before a joint meeting of the Lions and Rotary clubs. Versed in all phases of high school sports, Mr. Phillips, heads the list of Hoosiers who believe in the one-class tournament. To illustrate his point favoring Indiana’s all-high school system, the boss of athletics described the frenzy shown in the 1954 finals between little Milan and Muncie. No other arrangement would have created the interest, for thousands of fans were pulling for Milan on the "underdog” theory, or small town against the big city. We believe the Indiana system is the best in the country and that we should continue with the all-competitive high school basketball classics.

he feels It must be in his mind And often fears he will go insane. These people can be successfully helped by their physician. After a thorough physical examination has proven that no actual disease exists, usually talking over the problem and the fears with the. physician may be enough to ease the anxiety. Simple reassurance regarding the patient’s symptoms is often sufficient to affect a cute. The more severe cases may need psychiatric help to relieve the underlying causes of the neurosis. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. f. P.: Can a diabetic who has beep taking insulin ever be free enough of his diabetes so that insulin'can be stopped? Answer: Yes, this happens in many cases. It is due to a regrowth of the cells producing insulin in the pancreas. It is believed that overstraining of certain cells that produce the insulin may be a factor in producing diabetes. When the amount of sugar Is controlled by adequate care in the diet and by taking Insulin, these insulin-producing cells have a chance of re-establishing themselves. Thus, in the future, these people may not have a need for insulin.

RUSSIA BACKS (CaßtlanfS From Puse Qae> the peoples of Asia have the full right to settle their own affairs themselves, that is, first and foremost, their own business.” Molotov's speech was surprisingly moderate in tone, his charges against the United States being limited mainly to the accusation of “aggression” against Red China. As did Chou En Lai Wednesday, he expressed regret that the conference did not include India. Indonesia, Burma. Pakistan and other Asiatic nations. The Western Big Three and - France in particular have been pressing for an immediate start of efforts to end the bloody and costly 7-year-old Indochinese conflict. Up to now , these efforts have been snagged on Bao Dai’s refus--1 a! to negotiate with representatives of Red Indochinese leader Ho Chi-Minh. Russia had refused to agree to any conference from which Ho’s representatives were excludedBao Dai yielded on the point after the U. S. ambassador to Viet Nam, Donald Heath, and- two high French officials had flown to Cannes to apply pressure to the reluctant Indochinese ruler.
