The President received an honorary degree of doctor of law from Maryland’s Washington College, his two-state tour being arranged for that purpose. —o While the hew Social Security bill is going through congress it’s a wonder that the legislators do not correct the inequality that exists in the present law. This inequity prevents widows under 65 from drawing benefits. If the husband dies, his widow, if without minor children, does not become eligible for benefits until she reaches 65 years of age. The retiW »w will also Increase the tax on w uglies lueiu on salaries up to >4,200 a year, but does not give a corresponding boost in payments. These inequalities should be corrected in the revised law. 0 o Many persons will disagree with the Federal Civilian Defense Administration’s estimate that there are 70 critical areas in this country, likely to be bombed in case of an atomlc-hydrogen war. If the blasting powers of the hydrogen weapon is as great as claimed, bombing half the number of critical areas would almost' make the United States defenseless, The source of supply’ for assembly plants and war-time industry would be destroyed if the coal, steel, oil, gasoline, navy and airplane sites were bombed. We doubt if our Defense Department lists 70 critical areas in countries that might attack us as tar-
Use Antibiotic Drugs Only on Doctor's Advice
By HERMAN N. BIBNDESEN, M.D. IT has often been stated that widespread use of the antibiotics Is building a hardy race of germs that is able to resist the action of these same antibiotic drugs. The Indiscriminate use of antibiotics by people who do not seek their physician’s advice adds to this trend. We are seeing the development of more and more cross resistance. That is, a person who takes penicillin may develop an acquired resistance to another antibiotic such as aureomycin. Unwilling Host The human body normally is host to many germa that, in very ■mall numbers, do not cause any disease or discomfort. However, Oop treatment with the antibiotic drugs is begun, these germs or bacteria may become active aad cause infection. s--Before using a drug, it is best to determine whether the germs are sensitive to it. This U done destroys the specific bacteria. ■ Penicillin is still the least toxic of the antibiotic drugs. TerramyEi, aureomycin and chloramenicol frequently give rise to lestinal symptoms. It is be-
gets that would have to be destroyed to defeat the enemy. Destruction of shipping ports and railroad terminals would bring chaos and also slow down America’s potential to produce. —_o « I • Timber And Game:— The American Forest Products Industries, Inc., Issues an interesting magazine on tree growing and forest production. We do not think the presentation is mere propaganda, because as the magazine states. "Timber and game are twin crops of the United States.” We believe you’ll enjoy the following: Sportsman once believed virgin forests were the ideal environment for wildlife. This belief was based On accounts of the large number of wild animals early settlers found before pioneers had pushed back the forests to build a new country. Game scarcities did exist in those days, often in the Very shadows of virgin forests. When General Arnold marched to Quebec in 1751, his army nearly starved. Sufficient game just couldn't be found to augment the army’s meager rations. This occurred in the deeply forested wilderness of Maine. Today Maine is highly regarded as a deer hunting state. New England and many other parts of the United States support a greater deer population than ever before in history. What caused this change? Thank todaj’s tree farmers and loggers for the creation of millions of miles of new "forest edge." Today hunters know wildlife requires shelter, protection and food. Hunters know that in an old growth forest, very little of the undergrowth, so necessary for game and blrd food, exlsts. There is little sunlight to support browse plants. Good woodland management methods — such as selective cutting or block cutting — do promote plant growth for game food. They provide better quality trees for harvest and more and healthier game for hunters. Good forestland management, therefore, is good game manage- ' iiefi t. “ ~ Sportsmen and tree farmers have found a similarity in the problems which face them. Tree farmers know that unless their forests are properly harvested, mature trees fall prey to insects, disease or fire and many smaller trees starve for lack of growing room.
illeved that the disorders they cause are due to a vitamin B .complex deficiency and to their increasing the growth of certain fungi. To Counteract Bad Effects A new theory advises that all persons who receive the antibiotic drugs over a long period of time should be given Vitamin B com- ' plex by mouth and crude liver extract in order to combat the uncomfortable side effects of the drugs. The doctor will decide Just when these are necessary and the amounts to use. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. I. H.: My 16-year-old boy 1 chews his nails constantly. What ’ would you suggest? , Answer: Usually children who ' bite their nails feel insecure and have some emotional difficulty. ; There is no danger in this habit. Most children stop this trick on their own when they start to meet others socially. Kind and pleasant understanding from the parent is helpful in eliminating this nervous acttvity. Above all, do not be extremely critical of this boy, as that maj cause him to continue.

SYNOPSIS Like any young couple ardently in love. Joan Fftstei and Todd Hunter are eager to wed. But Todd has not vetbeen placed tn his chosen profession of teaching, and the tittle money‘’which Joan earns by writing, is not enough to maintain a home. Todd bad fought gallantly to acquire the education which qualified him to teach German, but there seemed to be no call for teachers of the German language now. Arriving at the Foster home for dinner. Todd promises to reveal some exciting news to Joan later, when they are aline Hts news proves disappointing. He can get a lob teaching fourthgraders tn a near-by private school, a mark far short of his hopes and dreams. CHAPTER FIVE TODD continued telling Joan about his job offer. “Honey, Gilly said they would pay me twenty-three hundred dollars. It’s not a great deal—” He struck a folded fist into the palm of the other hand. “The policemen here in town who have Jnjy a high school diploma get aS much as that. But it’s all a green teacher can expect. 1 couldn’t do any better anywhere, not even in a college. In fact, 1 might not do as wen.” •T know.” “I don’t mind the small salary. I knew what 1 was up against when I decided to go into this game. It’s- —well—it's the thought of handling kids so darned young. I’m not prepared for that kind of work. I’m just not prepared. He unclenched his hand, looked down at it for a moment, then reached over and laid it on one of Joan's. “Seems there’s a great shortage of grade school teachers but plenty for prep schools and colleges.” He looked at her. “It's our fehatice, JoJo. The first real one that’s come our way." "Yes, she said. , 7 “We could get married tn June. He’ll send me a contract and we’ll be all set.” “Yes,” she said again. ’■Well ?” Never had she known that being engaged was going to involve making decisions like this.

Regardless of whether the inspectors announce that YOung is the winner, as many observers anticipate, it is certain that the Central management will take the issue to the courts. A big issue revolves around the voting of a bloc of 800.000 in behalf of Young. These stocks were cast for Young by Clinton W. Murchison and Sid W. Richardson, two of Young’s Texas oil millionaire friends. These 800,000 shares have been challenged by the Central management, on ' the ground that they were obtained "illegally” and that Aheir - purektese from the- Chesapeake and Ohio was “a devise and a sham.” The election inspectors rejected the Central’s challenge.

Actually, what happened was that you ran plump into economic problems, and these involved a conflict of dreams with facts which, in the end, demanded a compromise. Because that’s what it would be. If Todd took this job, he would be teaching—yes—but not what he wanted to teach. He would be getting experience—yes —but not in his chosen field. She spoke at last. “Toda, 1 can’t say what I think, because 1 don't know. Besides, it’s what you think and want and feel. It’s—well—l’m just going along on this proposition. Or not going along, if you decide against it.” She looked at him with a sober face, waiting tor his reply. “That’s it That’s the thing. I want you to go along. 1 want us both to go along—together—from here.” He folded her nand in both of his and held ft tight while nis voice deepened with his emotion. “I’ve waited as long as I’m willing to wait Jo-Jo. Practically an my lite, you know.” — "1 know." She was silent then, her head against his arm. ft did not matter to her, personally, really. She was Just terribly disappointed for him.

All 1 know is that you mustn't get started wrong. You mustn’t get into a groove you can’t get out ot. It’s your whole future. And it’s ail ahead of you.” “No, you’re wrong. My future is here, now, today. Every day is my future. And every day it becomes my past- You can’t look too tar ahead, 1 think. No, this is what I’ve decided. I’ll take the job.

man tn a prep school or college, I’d hesitate longer. But they told me, Jo-Jo! All my interviews have told me, too. And high schools are out because I’m not qualified. What choice is left? Nothing except grade work in some private school. None, that is. unless 1 decide to abandon the idea ot teaching altdgeUies- And I'm not quite ready to do that—yet.” “You don't think if you waited until June —or even later in the l summer —” “The Columbia agency suggested that, too. They said something might turn up then. But they wouldn't guarantee it And” —ne turned toward her and she saw his gray eyes flash with an impatience he rarefy showed—' as 1 said a minute ago, I’we watted tor you as tong as I'm willing to wilt." She could feel her heart beginning to beat a Uttlt taster. He meant it. Her wedding day, that only a few nours ago had seemed out of reach, was right ahead of her. He finished quietly, 'Taking this job that Gilly's offering me means an end ot watting, honey. It means a beginning ot life together at last.” She lifted her head and looked at him, her brown eyes c\ear and steady and warm With her love. •Well, Todd, if that’s the way you feel—its-that’s the way you want it —I’m ready.” Wonderful to have it settled. To be able to plan definitely for the everit about which she so long had dreisuned. The details of it were all quite clear tn nor mind. She wanted —and so did he —to oe married in the little church across the street where his father nad been pastor tot the past fifteen yairs. And, ot course, Dr. Hunter would perform the ceremony. She wanted an afternoon wedding, too, not ' too' formal but at an hour late enough so that she could appropriately wear a "white dress with a veil and a tram—a tiny one—even though the ushers wore business suits.

Petitions Against McCarthy Removed Removed From State To Protect Signers SAUK CITY, Wia. (INS)—Newspaper publisher Leroy Gore, who admitted failure in hla campaign to have Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R Wis.,l recalled, says some 350,000 signatures oh “Joe Must Go” petitions were taken out of the Badger state to "protect the signfere from harassment.” Gore, publisher of the &auk City Star and organiser ot the "Joe Must Go,” movement, disclosed Monday that he brought an estimated 300,000 signatures to Chicago and the rest were taken to "another state/’ presumably Minnesota.
