Premier Pierre Mendes-France came into office with the greatest majority accorded any French leader since the end of the war.. He is committed to the proposition of ending the war in IndoChina in 30 days or handing in his resignation. To this end he has decided to act as his own foreign minister at Geneva. The world will be watching to see wh»t happens. 0 0 In one sweep six abandoned school buildings were sold in this county.

If traffic continues to increase in the next ten years as much as it has in the past decade, cities the size of Decatur will not be able to accommodate the truck lines.

Polio Hard to Diagnose In Its Earliest Stages

By MRMAN M. BWDtSW, MD. THE so-called polio season approaches again. Despite the strides that have taken place in the fight on polio, it still continues to be one of the most difficult diseases tor the physician to diagnose accurately. Approximately one-half of the people who come down with polio have certain slight symptoms that occur before the onset of paralysis. Usually, these symptoms are of a respiratory nature, such as a eold, sneezing or sore throat There may be stomach symptoms, such as diarrhea, constipation, or pains in the stomach. Many exhibit some neck stiffness. After these, they may not have »ny symptoms for several days before the onset of the paralysis •nd fever. Usual Symptoms Os course, we all know the usual symptoms of potto such as fever, vomiting, stiff neck, tenderness •nd weakness of the muscles. However, these symptoms are first preceded in one-half of all polio patients by a ported when tbfiy bmut fc*vo Uw «iW fever

go along with the Vermonter's plan to curb the committee chairman. The rale of seniority is inviolate in the halls of congress and the senate will not vote to abandon it, even after the scars the AnnytMcCarthy hearing left on members. Voters in Tennessee may have a choice of candidates who became nationally famous through televised hearings if Ray H. Jenkins, chief counsel in the now dormant Army-McCarthy hearings decides to seek the Republican nomination for U. S. senator. Estes Kefauver, who gained fame as the Investigator of underworld rackets will be the Democrat can- ( diate and Jenkins is thinking of seeking the GOP nomination. Os the two men, Kefauver is prob- 1 ably the best known, plus the ad- I I vantage of having an excellent i record as senator. In November 1 mir dime would be placed on 1 Kefauver.

Burke and George H. Bender contend for the senate seat of the late Robert Taft. Burke, a Democrat, was appointed after Mr. Taft’s death. Bender is a Republican congressman who was a leader in the Taft bid for the presidency. Both Burke and Bender have agreed to a series of- debates on the issues of the campaign. Five > debates are plannedDirect debates between two candidates same office were once very popular in this coiintry. The best remembered of these are those between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. The debate between Burke and Bender are not likely to be re-’ . membered as long as those between Douglas and Lincoln. They will, however, give voters a chance to see -both men on the same speaking platform and to judge how well each can present his own case. It is a type of campaigning which might well be revived in other parts of the country. _ 4

This is followed by anothei three to four days when they de not exhibit any symptoms at all Then they sometimes develop the severe symptoms of polio. Strikes at Any Season Although we all think of polic as occurring mainly in late summer or early fall, it may occur throughout the year, even in the middle of winter. Polio is a disease of adults as wail as children. The age may vary from six weeks to 56 years, of Age. Sometimes as high as 27 per cent of the patients are over fifteen years of age. Many people do not develop severe eases of polio, but may have minor degrees of the disease which do not go on to a final paralysis. These cases are known as non-paralytic cases.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE ROAD ran on. It grew darker. Todd turned on his lights and Joan sat watching these unwind their way for them. Now the stars were pricking out and all the sky had grown dim and pale and diet anti Todd said, “There’s ’ a village ahead." “Yes, 1 see it" "Want to stop?” "If it looks nice." "1 mean to eat" “All right" They came to the village. It had a diner before which several trucks were lined up. . "Good sign. Maybe*we can get a steak here," Todd said. They could. The place was neat and clean, gaudy with cheap bright tables and noisy with a blaring radio. But the steak was sizzling hot and tender, the coffee was fresh and -asty, the French fries crisp—and none of the truck drivers, on their high stools before the counter, gave a second glance to the two at the table in the far corner. Out in the mght again, Joan snuggled against Todd. He felt so warm! She slipped her hand under his on the wheel and left it there. That was warm, too. Big and warm and strong. She thought, *1 love Todd’s hands.” "How far now?" she asked. "You said you wanted to wake up the first morning in an old New England town." “1 know. But how far Is that?" "About twenty miles. Maybe twenty-five." He looked down. She could feel his glance gentle on her. “Tired?” “No." They drove on. It was really dark now. The stars were silver, twinkling specks on a cloth of black velvet The hills had crept closer and nestled around them on all sides. Joan spoke suddenly. "Let's bring up our children tn the country.” "On a farm?" “Yes." “Isn't that a revolutionary idea?" “1 don’t know. 1 don’t think so. 1 love the country. So do you, Todd. Remember our walks all around the mountains of Zurich?" "1 certainly do." "And Chur? And Arosa? That was the first trip we took." "That WM when I told you 1 /loved you and then 1 promised 1 wasn't going to say it again until we got home." “You didn’t, either.

» - -0 Modern Etiquette. I BY ROBERTA LEE 0 ’ . 0 Q. Should a woman keep her hat on when at an afternoon card party? A. She should remove it if the party is in a private home. If in a public place, she may either remove it or keep it on, as she wishes. Q. How close to the dinner table should one sit? A. Sit close enough so that you can reach the plate without leaning forward awkwardly, and far enough away so that the elbows are not cramped. Z1 Q.. May one write an acknowledgment to a formal invitation in the first person? A.

Neither will L We have a lot pt shared memories, you and L i do you know it ?” “And we're going to make a lot more. Which gets me back to what 1 said a minute ago. Let’s make some tn the country. Oh, Mapleton's all right, Todd! It's a nice town. But it’s getting terribly I crowded. The schools are crowded, i The village is crowded. Why, it's hard to find a parking place anyi where there any. more!" "So we move to a farm where we'll have plenty of parking space. Okay!” He pressed her hand under j his. “Add it to our list of things we re going to da Another trip i to Europe. A trip out to Arizona to visit Don and Elaine. And now i a farm in the country.” Joan said, “Well, we can dream, , can't we?" Silence again. The wind blew cold through her window and Joan 1 wound it up. Todd said, "Nearly ’ there, Jo-Jo. I see lights. There's a hotel at this place. Mike told ! me about it, so I sent a telegram this morning and reserved,a 1 room." Then, abruptly, he stopped the car. Joan turned her head to look al ‘ him inquiringly. "What?" she ’ asked. "How do you feel, honey?” "About what?" . "Me- Everything.” ■ "Oh!” She deliberated. Then she , said, “Cozy." “Cozy?" “Well—safe.” “That’s better." “Sure, I mean ” 'That’s still better." “Oh, Todd! Cozy—safe— sure—- , What difference does it make what words 1 use? They all mean the same thing!” He leaned close to her. “What do they mean ?" •They mean,” she said softly., "that 1 love you.” He turned her hand and dropped a kiss tn her palm. “We'll go on, then." She nodded. It was not strange entering the unfamiliar inn with Todd that night. It was not strange going up to their room together, ft was a little strange that it wasn’t strange, Joan thought And yet—why should it be? For so long they had known each other. For so long they had loved each other. For so long their minds and hearts and lives hhd traveled along close parallel tines. Now they were merely'merging, > • •. It was Tuesday, the day after Uw Fouith of July. Todd and Joan had been back from their honeymoon since last Thursday and this morning be had started on tus summer course at Columbia.

Behind-Scenes Action FPon Judge Nomination

Bebind-tbe-scenes action, starting two weeks ago, ended yesterday n the nomination of Severin I H. Schurger, prominent Decatur lawyer, as Democratic candidate for Judge of the appellate court for the second (northern) district. The appellate court consists of six jurists, three from the northern half of the state, and three (tom the southern half. They meet In Indianapolis, and cases which appear bpfpre the court are assigned to a single justice, who reports his findings to the whole eonrt for a vote and opinion. The term of office is tour years, end the eatery is <13.600 a year. Schurger, the first Adame county nominee for a state office since Judge Huber M. DeVoes was nominated and elected to the appellate court in 1838. was unopposed on the convention floor. But the real work for the nomination took place in the weeks before The convention. Originally, when Schurger made his entry in the race, two weeks before the convention, three other lawyers from northern Indiana I were considering making the race: Samuel Fiewell of South Bend; Russell Gordon, of Monticello; and i William Smith, of Delphi: Fiewell would represent the third eongi'essional district of national committeeman Paul Butler; Gordon and Smith were both from the second congressional district. Only two of the four could be nominated for the two openings at this convention. The principal obstacle in the path of Schurger's candidacy was the fact that James Murphy, of Fort Wayne, was unopposed as judge of the supreme court from the fourth supreme court district. This would give the fourth congressional district two candidates, which is unusual. Since Schurger was opposed, he had a large obstacle to overcome. ■* The job, then, was to convince the delegates that Schurger wae the man for the candidacy. Schurger started campaigning immediately after making his declaration for the office. First jhe hadjreprinted_the story

i->....... "Don’t work too hard," he had cautioned her from the doorway before he left. “I’U help you with things when 1 get home." She had smiled at him and blown him a Kiss T won’t," she had promised. “Anyway, the work’s practically all done except this living room. Don’t you work too hard,” she had added. "And come horns early.” “As early as I can, honey." Now ne was gone and she was left alone in their apartment Tor the first time. Next door was her mother and downstairs was Todd’s mother, but she had no desire to see either ot them. They had both been most thoughtful when she and Todd had first returned, inviting them in for meals until they had a chance ts settle themselves, but Joan wm glad that that need was past. She felt the strongest kind ot urge to establish hersefi as a separate entity, to set up her own routine and to be dependent on no one toi a thing, Joan remained at the card table where they had just finished breakfast. She was thinking. "Well, fife realty begins now. The honeymoon is over. It was perfect. I'll never torget it. We had long lazy days touring the country. We saw iota ot beautiful scenery. We visited histone towns and museums and churches We played tennis and we went swimming and we danced and we took tn some good movies. We puttered around tn antique shops and Todd grew a little interested tn them, 1 believe. 1 wore all my best clothes and lived like a lady and loved it. But best ot all, I’ve come home loving Todd more than ever. I didn’t think it was possible, but it is. However, I’m glad to be home again and to climb into my blue jeans and a sweat shirt and get down to work once more." She looked around her. Well, there was certainly plenty ot that What a mess ot scattered stuff! , She sat musing, her chin in her hand. The bedroom on the south had been easy, and already it wore, as Joan nao Known it would, a complete and finished took. The golden yellow ot the bird’s-eye maple which she had vigorously cleanei. and polished till it shone, together with the cream-colored walla anc paie puff rug, would make that room look sunny and cheerful nc matter now dark the day. She hac not put up the familiar turquoise ctiintz draperies as yet. They had seemed too hot- Instead, she hac hung sheer ruffled curtains ot white wmeh were cool against the frosty white woodwork. And on the long wail above the bed, she and Todd had carefully spaced their two colorful dower prints. A spread ot pale turqu&se had been the final touch in here. Their make-shift kitchen was ir. order, too. But this living room! tTa St Continued J Jf '

at his candidacy from the Decatur Daily Democrat, and an editorial from the Democrat by editor Arthur Hollhouae. These he mailed to,the state Democratic headquarteiw, district end county chairmen, and delegates to the convention. Immediately after he had made ■bls decision to enter the race, Schurger and several of his friends went to the etate chairmen and explained his qualifications. and that be would campaign actively if nominated. He spent an hour and a half with chairman Charles K. Skillen at that time. Later Schurger talked with Paul ■ Butler, national . committeeman from Indiana, telling him that if nominated he would make an active campaign in the fall. Schurger had the strong backing of Dr. Harry H- Hehble, Adams county Democratic chairman, who helped him greatly in the pre-convention maneuvering. Another factor which helped tip things Schurger’a way was the letter from the Adame county bar association, which weighed heavily in his favor with lawyers over the state. Many stated it was the first time within their memory that a candidate had been indorsed by a bi-partisan lawyer's association before the convention. Schurger. Robert H. Heller, local realtor and former speaker of the state house of representatives, and Von "Pat” Eichhorn, arrived in Indianapolis Sunday afternoon to begin the pre-convention work. They went immediately to state headquarters and talked with state chainman Charles E. Skillen. The three men stayed tn the Claypool hotel, headquarters for the state central committee and for all delegates. and talked to delegates, candidates, and county chairmen as they arrived. One black spot in the day was the rumor, allegedly started from Decatur, that Schurger would withdraw at the last minute, and was the race to get publicity for a later copgressional race; Both Schurger and Heller worked all Sunday and Monday morning to dispel this fear. They were aided who helped convince the county chairmen and delegates that Schur ger was the man to back. Schurger set up headquarters on the eighth floor of the Claypool with other candidates, and talked to s constant stream of visitors, inquirers and wellwishers. He was ’on his feet constantly from early in the morning until late at night. -First break occurred when Ski lien reported that Gordon had announced he would not be a candidate. At the same time Fiewell announced his candidacy. This meant that chances for Schurger s nomination were very good, because Smith had stated that he would not enter the race if opposed, and two were now in the face. Near the 12 noon deadline for filing candidate’s wmes two unexpected candidates filed for sec retar y of state and auditor of state. They were both backed by former national committeeman Frank McHale, and there wao some question as to whether a third attorneymight miter the appellate race. Schurger and Heller waited for
