Those who wish to shirk responsibility try to. blame Dean Acheson, who hasn't had anything to do with the State department for 18 months. 0 • Farm income dropped three percent in 30 days, but Agriculture Secretary Benson claims that the drop does not “indicate a general ;, *KW4wins to the price farm structure”. It is poor policy to let farm product prices sag when new crops are in the making. 0- o v liT’dectding to list Dr. Oppenheimer as a security risk, the Atomic Energy Commission said it was not because the scientist did anything wrong, but that the company he kept was no good. The commission’s verdict did not convict him of any wrongful act in connection with his develop- , went of the bomb. —_o 0 f The House okayed a >3,338,608,000 foreign aid bill. Now it will be up to the senate to support the President's plan to keep foreign countries in line with the Upi ted States gthrough a hand out of American funds. Although a few senators want all aid stopped, it is a good bet that a majority will approve the administration's program. —-0-— Sen. Potter of Michigan has the right idea on employing experts and consultants by the government. He opposes the employment of unpaid consultants by any committee. His case In point "was the hiring of David Schine by the, McCarthy sabcammittee as a free-lance consultant. U a man renders service he should be entitled to compensation. The government did not save money ' through Sehina’s frew service. —O-—0 Fellow senators seem jealous of Spn. McCarthy who has been taking an extended vacation since the close of the Army-McCarthy hearings. Unable to reach him, the senators propose that the rules be changed to give other members authority to dlitninon ' the subcommittees. The senatorial differences creeped out be-

Skin Moles Can Become Forerunners of Cancet

ly HUMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. A HARMLESS mole or. the body may undergo changes that can be the forerunner of cancer. The average adult, it ie estimated, has during his life time at least 20 moles, or net! as they are known medically, distributed over his skin surface, About 20 per cent of all skin cancers come from a disease known as malignant melanoma which may develop from these moles. \ Usually these moles are pigmented or colored. When a mole shews rapid enlargement, or the color becomes deeper, or it develops a tendency to bleed easily, it may bo turning into a cancer or malignancy. Consul! a Hryeicim When thte happens. a person ‘ should consult his doctor Immediately. He will remove the entire mole and have it examlrflfd' under a microscope in order to determine whether there are any cancerous cbsMDges. Cancerous changes are more common at the lower part of the body, especially around the feet •T the sexual organa However, ' . ' *■ A

/ ■ ' r - , - cause Mr. McCarthy did not call a meeting of his committee to continue investigation of.xharges revealed to the hearings on Pentagon secrecy policy. g o_— Dr. Earl Buts, head of Purdue University's department of agricultural economics, is slated to become assistant secretary of agriculture to Secretary Benson. A native of Noble county, Dr. Buts is known throughout the state. He has spoken in this county on various occasions and is recognised as an agricultural leader. Since Mr. Benson’s flexible farm price program isn't running very smoothly, a touch of Hoosier thinking, from the Indiana man might aid in helping solve the national problem. The change in executive positions will be made in August, when the resignation of John D. Davis becomes effective. 0 0 A Sane Fourth:— The Indiana State Police department offers the following safety bints for a safe and sane observance of the Fourth: Drive defensively; don’t drive while fatigued. Swim in obstruction-free waters to view of companions or guards. Don't overcrowd boats; watch out for sudden storms. Guard against overexertion and too much sun. Attend only licensed fireworks displays. The state police also warned that the sale and unauthorized usd of fireworks is unlawful to Indiana."' ’ - > —-0 0 ~ - Great document; — The words of the Declaration of Independence were bold words and there were many who were frightened by them. Clearly they broke aU ties with England and set aside any possibility of reconciliation with King George. The words of the Declaration were strong in themselves — the talk of all men being created equal, being endowed with unalienable rights by their Creator, having the right to abolish any, government which ignores ;these rights. While some bemoaned the rashness of the Declaration other men went eff*to pay with their jives the obligation they accepted gladly, the obligation to prove that they were worthy of the words «that declared their dignity and i their liberty. The ideals proclaimed in declaration have come down to us as our heritage. They have bee® to every tion and their price has been paid to blood again and again. It is for jis to see that they are passed on totact to the next generation. ’■, ’ !

i -4 thoy may occur any place In thi body. Moles may vary In appearanef from smooth brown spots to elevated, tumor-like projections The area may be hairy and quit* large. - Any change in the mole, of course, should have prompt attention. Ju4t because the mole .. does not contain any pigmentar tion ot coloration, this does not mean it cannot become malignant. If there is any growth in any mole, colored or not, it should be removed. If a person has a mole that undergoes endless friction, such as from the rubbing of an undergarment or from work, it also should be removed immediately. QUESTION AND ANSWEI Mrs. W. C. E.: Is it true that a gallstone can grow large enough to cause a bowel obstruction? Answer: Yes, in certain Instances. a gallstone may perforate out of the gall bladder into the intestine and, if large enough, may cause a bowel obstruction. This is quite rare, but I can be very serious.

It's changing me. It's making me feel ugly. And 1 don’t know what to do. 1 can't seem to—to get tree.'' Ha said, a trifle grimly, “TO jpeak to her.” “Oh, Todd!; No, you mustn't!” “1 must.” “No, 1 tell you!” She sat upright again and looked at aim with trooOlea eyes. “You simply mustn’t. That would be too terrible. ’ Don't you see it would T Lt would be both ot us hurting her, repudiating her. Now it's just me. And Tm not as unportant as you Decause I'm not actu a 11 y ner laughter.

He nas probably been waiting to see if you two could work things out without him. It would be like him.” Joan heaved a great sigh of relief.

when 1 tell them to you, they stop being troubles.” He kissed her. “And now I'll go down and see Dad,” he said. Joan never knew what Todd's father said to Mrs. Hunter, but whatever it was proved extremely effective, for she did not come up to the apartment the next morntog at all, and when Joan went down later, the most extraordinary conversation took place between them. “Good morning, Mother Hunter." “Good morning, Joan." “I wondered if 1 could help you to any way?" “Ob, thank you, no. I’ve finished my housework. But I'm glad you stopped tn because 1 want to talk to you. Sit down for a moment." It was ridiculous to feel like a guilty child expecting punishment, but Joan couldn't help it “I've been thinking,” Mrs. Hunter began, ner voice aulding a deep note of regret, “and I've decided that l*v« been pampering you too much.” “Pampering?” I “Yes. 1 wean with the help I’ve been giving you. It never occurred to me until yesterday when you went oft and left me all your clean tng up to do.” “But 1—“ "Wait. Let me finish, please, dear. 1 am thrifty, Joan. 1 nave had to be, on a ministers salary. And I cannot bear waste in any form. 1 Knew, when you dashed out at such an early nour, that you could not possibly have done your nousework properly. The thought nagged me until 1 went up to see Ana, sure enough, there was your food, spoiling. A good quarter ot a pound ot margarine—j Wha tbanktm it wasn t butter—and at least naif a bottle of milk. To say nothing ot nearly a loot ot bt\ad that you left drying out on your table 1 believe 1 am out exaggerating.” "No, Tm afraid not," Joan murmured. “Well—” And here a note of fatat righteousness crept into Mrs. Hunter's cone. “Well, 1 took care of things for you. But 1 realize now I shouldn't have. Because how are you ever going to learn except the hard way ? By your mtotakesf” “L—don't know.” Mrs. Hunter shook her head slowly. “It isn't fair to you tor me to save you and help you the way 1 have been. You won't always have me around to watet* over you, you know 1 ." *, "Oh, Mother Hunter!” ' “But it’s true. The doctor and 1 1 wont five forever. And while my natural instinct la to give you all possible assistance while I can, still that isn't being fair to myself, either. 1 ought not to tax my strength, which, you ‘ are well aware, is limited" 5 "1 know. L’ve fdlt all along you were doing too much,” Mrs. Hunter waved away Joan’s words with a small, pudgy hand. “Therefore J have decided,” she

went on, with a new decision to her voice, “to let you work out your own salvation. Please don t expect me, in the future, to climb up those stairs to your apartment every day. 1 cannot do it. 1 will take care ot my own quarters just the way L always have., but you must not count on me to come to yours." "Very well. Mother Hunter. I’ve certainly appreciated your generosity and—and thoughtfulness but 1 can appreciate, too, how you feel about it now.” Mrs. Hunter nodded. “You young people have much to learn. And we older ones can only stand by and wateh while you learn it. 1 don’t know who suffers most in the process." She smiled an uncertain, wavering smile. "But I’m sure Tm right on this.” “Yes. I— i guess you are.” “1 want you to understand, too, my dear, that I am not wilUng to help you select your antiques, either. You'll have to make your own decisions there, also. And U you spend too much—well"—she lifted an expressive shoulder—"it’s toi vou and Todd to work out vour budget to meet your expenses. Os course," she added, "if you come -to me ana ask me and want me—” <> "Oh no, I’m sure you’re right about that, too!” Joan said, rising quickly. “I've just got to team. Todd and 1 both have, 1 mean—" Mrs. Hunter rose with ner, came to Joan and laid a band on ner arm. "And please don't think from what I've just said, my dear, that Pm deserting you not It's just”—that uncertain smile again, behind which lay the threat of tears ot weakening—"well—we're good friends now and 1 want ua to remain good friends. But if 1 continued as 1 have been, 1 might not always be able to contain myself. 1 might lose patience, and there might be harsh words between us. And—dearie—not that! Anything but that. You see, don t you?" "Os course I see. And I think you're absolutely wonderful." she said sincerely. “And I'm sure, the way you've planned it. well be better friends than ever. Don't worry about that! You know." she went on, "1 read once somewhere that members of families should always treat each other as they would strangers—giving them the same courtesy and consideration—the same privacy. I think maybe there’s a lot in that. And I guess you do. too. Anyway, it's safe, isn’t It?” She smiled. “And now Fm going stripping to. the .car. Wouldn't you Uke to come along ?" For a second Mrs. Hunter hesitated. but only for a second. “No, my dear. Not now. 1 have a good deal to do." ■’ “All: right. Any time, though—” Mrs. Hunter nodded, and Joan left her. Safely outdoors to the sclear daylight, she drew a long breath. ( “Thank you, God," she said.-* (To Bo Continue<i)
