It is surprising what a few days of favorable weather does for the farm crops. —r-0 ft— Congress should approve the bill that will make Alger Hiss ineligible to draw a 3700 yearly pension from the government Under existing law one man although convicted of perjury, should not be singled out and deprived of employment rights. That plan isn't government by law and this country believes in that principle. We object to Hiss receiving retirement pay, but also feel that the law should be amended to meet this situation. v o o The Communist effort to get a foothold in Central and South America becomes more and more obvious. Recently Brazil acted just in time to nip a plot to get a Red dominated slate of political candidates on the ballot for forthcoming elections. The dummy state of candidates was formed * to circumvent a Brazilian law which bars Communists from running tor office. Despite the law Communists are strong enough la that country to eoastitute a menace. The sad situation in Guatemala, where a revolt against the Red tinted government is now in progress, may alert other countries of .Latin America to the danger of Communism. o 0 The national golf open was won by Ed Furgol, a 37-year-old professional.

Home Accidents Strike The Young and the Old

>y HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. THE home tea great place for accidents, perhaps because people spend more time In their homes than anywhere else. Such accidents are the cause of more than 27,000 deaths and over 1000,000 injuries a year In the United States. Statistics of a recent year showed accidents among children between the ages of one and 14 caused almost as many deaths as the next six causes combined in their age group. These include heart trouble. cancer, and polio. ~" Prone to Injury Most accidents occur In children between the ages of one and lour, children who are at home and supposedly under constant supervision. At the other end of the life span, people over sixty-five are also prone to accidents. They have a tendency to faU on stairs, . fracture their hips, fall out of bed, or slip on rugs or polished Boors with greater frequency than younger persons.

It is a grand Company, well manned and operated by efficient co-workers. Decatur is proud to be the homie of this progressive and modern foundry.

Young, superintendent and to all the employes of the Company, we say. Happy Birthday and extend to them wishes for tnany more years of successful service. 0 Aid To Veterans:— Ten years ago President Roosevelt signed the legislation that has come to be known as the “G.I. Bill of Rights.” Under terms of that bill veterans were granted the right to further their education in colleges or in training schools. From time to time there have been abuses of the lieges but the great majority of veterans who took advantage of u. the opportunities offered justified' the faith of those who proposed the bill. The Veterans Administration has released figures which show that veterans who studied and trained under the bill have raised* their income level to the point where they pay an extra billion dollars a year in Income tax. At this rate the total expenditure, some 15 billion dollars, will be recovered in fifteen years. This of course is but one of the advantages which resulted from the program which was designed to help veterans readjust to civilian life. A nation which raises the educational level of a ‘ large portion of its citizenry helps everyone. The G.I. Bill was an experiment that worked. It has served the purpose of helping veterans in the wisest possible way—by giving them the chance to learn how to help themselves.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN THE DAVS pissed. Mrs. Hunter took it tor granted that her plan was acceptable to Joan and every morning she came hobbling upstairs to the little apartment Then , when Joan's Kitchen was tidied, there was nothing for her to do but go down with her iaw and help her in return. Her co-operation, on the surface, was amiable, but inwardly rebellion stirred daily as she tried fruitlessly 4o think of some kind of way of ending this routine. How thankful she was when a sudden emergency summoned Mrs. Hunter away for a day. — The older woman was not orderly or. systematic as Joan was, so that the latter found Uns helping difficult. “Never mind that. Just leave it.” Mrs. Hunter would say. Or—"Oh, I’ll take cqre of that later. I’ve got to get off my feet a while. Let's rest here and talk.” Talk! Joan came to realize that that was what Mrs. Hunter chiefly wanted. A receptacle tor her memories, ner experiences, her tears, her hopes. Joan, herself, hardly ever got a word in edgewise. No wonder the doctor kept to his study for hours on end. sti< thought He would have to as a matter of self-preservation! Yet her mother-in-law was good, generous, gentle. Joan recognized — all those fine attributes. "Any time you ever need anything," ishe would say, "just tell me. 1 dpn't care what it is. It’s yours. JuSt as if you were my own daughter. The doctor thinks 1 ought not to be like that. He says 1 mustn't be so ready to give. ‘Young people want to be independent,' he keeps telling me. ‘Let them struggle. They — like it.’ What he forgets is how happy 1 am to give. It's my greatest joy in life.” She nad broken off and again Joan had seen her face crumple into Sadness. "Still 1 have to listen to him,”> she nad continued, after a moment, "because once he was right Shall 1 tell you?" she had ended wistfully. Not knowing what was coming, Joan had nodded. “Well, it was a long time ago, when Todd was in his early teens, i He began, then, to sort of pull away from me. He changed. 1 mean, from being companionable to—well—to being a stranger. We, i had always been so close. He I would talk to me and tell me i things. But suddenly he didn't any t more. He closed up like a clam. 1 He even locked his door against [ me. It made me feel terrible. Lt made me cry. And I couldn’t find out what was the matter. He wouldn’t tell me. He just kept say- ! ing that nothing was wrong. Finally his father said, "Tilly, let i the boy alone. He can’t help him- . self. He’s growing upi&That's all. I And a boy that’s growing up has to have privacy.’ ”

She stopped tor a moment. Then i she went on. I "He told me he thought Todd i might grow up to be a student like himself. And if he did, then he would need lots of privacy and i 1 must never break inte it. If you want, to keep your son ck»e,’ he said to me, *you must let him go from vou.’” She stopped again, her face working so that Joan felt sorry for her. She was like someone who had been bereaved. "Well, 1 tried to understand that. 1 tried to believe it. 1 tried to do jt. But 1 guess 1 wasn’t very good at it because he never really did come dose again. Perhaps boys don’t. Perhaps they have to go off that way and be strangers. But girls are different I’ve watched you and your mother together all these years. Your companionship : is lovely. Perfectly lovely! So when I knew Todd and you were going to be warned, 1 thought. •Now that’s firfe. Now I’ll have a daughter, anyway. And maybe through her I’ll have a son again, too.’ ” I Joan had been embarrassed and ■ upset Such a frank revealing of •what must have been, and still was, a deep pain, left her not knowing how to answer. She felt curiously, much older than this i woman before her, who was actually twice her age. And what had she done? She had laid a double burden on Joan, because for ner to assert her independence now would be to wound with a doubleedged sword, first as the daughter Mrs. Hunter had always wanted and never had, and second as Todd’s wife who was tq bring him close again. ”1 can stand it for a while,", she told herself, "but not forever.” She said nothing to anyone about the matter, because she felt that < it was something for her to work 'out by herself. She would do it gradually, she thought. But on no account would she run back to her i own mother tor comfort or advice. Nor to the doctor. Either would I be—well—immature, and her pride forbade it Nor would she appeal I to Todd. Above all, she would not | go to TOdd, for, watching him with < new understanding eyes, she saw I that he did, indeed,, keep himself I to himself as his mother had said. < He was always courteous and con- < siderate—she could; never imagine I him otherwise —but he was distant. I Even in his moments of banter he < somehow remained aloof. I "We shouldn't have come here i to live,’’ Joan thought. “’But they were here. i It was a difficult period that i lasted a week or so, and lit was i particularly difficult After the per- i feet association Joan had knows I with her own mother.

ness and objectivity In emotional problems helping them to a mutual respect and satisfactory solutions. But Mrs. Hunter's gentle, übiquitous* haunting hunger was something else. It was insatiable. It was sentimental. It was sensitive. And it was invulnerable. It was like a web that each day was wovQn about Joan with strands that seemed soft and silken but that had the strength of steeL “I could scream,” Joan told herself. "1 could yel) and bowl and throw things like a baby. She wants to know everything I do and say and think and plan. She wants to Advise .and correct me and —for Pete's sake— Help me! All Che time! She wants me to belong to her, leek, stock and barrel. But I can't I won't" ••Joanie," Mrs. Hunter would say, ' where are you going, dear? Over to your mother’s? Oh! Well, don’t stay too long, will you? 1 miss you. The nouse is so quiet when you're not here." "I’ll be back soon.” (Can’t I even go see my own mother without having you regulate tne time I stay there?! "What are you going to wear to church tomorrow, Joanie? Your suit? Oh, don’t wear your suit! Put on your little print dress. It's so pretty." “I’m glad you like it" (I’ll wear what 1 please. I’ve been deciding for years and years what clothes I’ll wear. All by myself, too, if you can believe it I guess 1 can still manage!) “Whenever ypu want to go to that antique shop over in Chfton, Joanie, I’ll be glad to show you the way." • — .. . . . .. ’Thanks. I’ll remember.” (But A found ftiy way around Europe, Mrs. Hunter. 1 really think 1 could find my way to a shop that’s only five miles from here.) Daily under such provocation Joan s irritation grew, althougn she did ner best to hide it She forced herselt to be patient and self-controlled and tactful, meanwhile trying desperately to find a halfway path between a pretended pleased acceptance of all this unwanted interest and assistance and a polite refusal of it Hdwever, in the face of Mrs. Hunter’s confident, bland, impervious disregard of the fact that her daughter-in-law might take exception to the plans being made tor her, and the questions asked and the advice given, it was* impossible. Joan's struggle accomplished nothing beyond a ouild-Up at seething resentment and tension within her, which mounted steadily and which reached a climax in an explosion against Todd that surprised and horrified her. It was their first quarrel and it came like a thunderbolt out of the blue. (To Be Continued}. -A . . :Z__ —H—-

The U. S. weather bureau in Indianapolis predieted thermometer readings today would range from 94 in the north to 98 in southern Indiana.
