Compliance with the state stream pollution board’s mandate to construct a sewage disposal plant, which with Interceptor sewers may cost more than 11,000,000 is a financial headache. The state authorities seem insistent in their demand that work on the project be started this year. Before contracts can be let, the city will have td ascertain if a million dollars worth of bonds can be sold. 0 O'Bernard La Clair, who for the want of a better title was nicknamed the "lunch hour bandit" got 30 years in prison for his bank robbing career. The court also fined him |50,000. The young bandit had the effrontery to tell the court that he wasn’t sorry for robbing a half dosen banks, contending he just took money And hadn't hurt anyone. Judge Swygert of Federal court had -a different idea and told the brash fellow, "You have a complete disregard for law and the rights of others.” La Clair will not be eligible for parole until after ten yeora. ' • 0- 0 The recommendation of Ralph Roop, superintendent of the water plant, that the main which carries water from the softening plant across the Monroe street bridge should be enlarged, is a correct evaluation of the water shortage. The main has a capacity of 600 gallons per minute, while the pull on the pipeline calls for Bt>o gallons.'Jt’s like trying to run two inches of water through a one-inch hose. The council will enlarge the line as soon as financial details can be completed. Water consumption continues, on the increase and facilities for Its distribution must expand with the demand. J: -- e o—o . Karl Keyerleber, columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, says it is true,, he can prove it: people do read newspapers. He checks everything meticulously for a long time, he says, and hears nothing from his readers. He gets to thinking that there are no readers except his family and the proofreaders. Then it happens: a mistake is made and he soon finds out! Everybody notices the boner and tells him he is wrong, by letter, postcard and telephone. All newspapers have the same experience. Newspaper people do their level best to be accurate. But. accidents happen. The finger will slip on the typewriter key-
f Acne Is Often Helped ' By Doses of Vitamin A
By HERMAN N. BUHOESIN, M.B. ADOLESCENCE without acne la a rare thing. There are few : teen-agers without at least a few pimples. Many adolescents, however, develop many pimples or acne of the face along with extensive involvement. Also, this condition Is by no means limited- to adolescence. It may ba seen In women going through the menopause, and in young children before they enter adolescence. Varying Intensity The severity of the acne varies greatly from person to person. Borne believe that this disease is outgrown. This Is by no means certain. It is not uncommon to see some persons In the late twenties or thirties with acne. The Ideal cure for acne U one that does not cause any physical scarring or emotional Injury. Adolescents with pimples are apt to become very self-conscious and distressed with their problem. How It Begins The Infection usually begins with ths development of what is known as the "oily nose of adolescence* Then, face pimples which may form pus appear, and eventually large cysts may form. They occur in the openings of the OU glands or the hair follicles. A person with acne should watch hu diet.
board and a million will turn out on the page as a billion. Who reads it? Everybody. • —o K? ' Supporting President Eisenhower’s stand In favor of the United Nations organisation is Sen. Walter George, ranking Democrat member of the senate foreign relations committee. The Democrat leader, like President Eisenhower is opposed to admitting Red China to the UN, but he does jiot favor Withdrawal from the organisation if China is voted in. He said such a policy would make the United States the executioner of the United Nations. With Sen. Knowiand. Republican senate leader, advocating a walk-out if the Reds get in. the majority party is split widely on foreign policy. The voter is puzzled over such a condition and no doubt Mr. Eisenhower is disapopinted with the defection of prominent members from his own party. ■ « 0 ——0 < 4/d Guatemala:— The junta which has ruled Guatemala since the Communists were deposed is determined to keep the Reds from regaining power. It has been decreed that illiterate persons will be barred from voting in future elections. The idea in back of the move is that the people who could neither read nor write were easy prey tor the Communists in the past and would be so again. A voter who cannot read is an ideal target for the Reds as is a voter who does not have the ability to reason and understand what he reads. The unscrupulous have always exploited the ignorant. But at best barring illiterate voters from the polls is a weak stop-gap measure. If a country is to have a real democracy the base of government participation must be broadened. Thomas Jefferson knew this and argued against placing too many restrictions. on the right to vote in our new nation. ■ One answer to Guatemala’s problem lies in extending educational programs. It is-not an easy task to raise the literacy standard of a country. It cannot be done overnight. But some countries have made great strides in relatively short time. The United States is inclined to aid the new anti-Communist government of Guatemala. One way might be by participating in am effort with that country to eliminate illiteracy.
Carbonated drinks and chocolate In all forms may be harmful. Fish and nuts should be limited. Restriction of lodine intake is also Important because iodine, it is believed, stimulates acne. Limiting fats and sweets also helps. Vitamin A Used The use of Vitamin A has helped many cases of acne. Large doses of this vitamin must be taken, however, and therefore should be given under the direction of a physician. In certain persons, female hormone may be of help. The basic drugs that should be applied to most cases of acne are ointments containing sulphur and resorcin. These drugs in various forms of salves, can help most cases. Ultraviolet rays and mild dosages of superficial Xrays, as the physician directs, also sometimes help. Any person who suffers from this condition should not use self-treatment, but should epnsuit a physician. , QUESTION AND ANSWn Miss D.: Is it true that cholera occurs in the United States? Answer: Although it Is possible that this disease can occur in the United States, I doubt if there have been any cases In recent years in this country. It Is not a disease of our hemisphere.

Reveals Pattern Os Oppression By Reds
(Editor's note: Ar eight-member congressional committee headed by Rep. Charles J. Kersten. Wisconsin Repultlicdu. has just completed a scries of public,hearings in Europe to show the manner in which the Soviets seized power in their captive satellite countries and the treatment of these nations after the Kremlin took over. In the following article. Kersten gives a report th the American people on the over all pattern of Soviet aggression and oppression as it was unfolded to his committee in London. Munich and Berlin.) By REP. CHARLES J. KERSTEN (Written Expressly for 1.N.5.) -FRANKFURT (IN8) — Our committee has heard more than 100 witnesses and taken eworn statements from almost as many in our investigation of Soviet aggression. AIT the stories and all the statements fall intb one pattern—a pattern of Kremlin-planned aggression. a pattern which has enslaved 800 million people. For three weeks, we took sworn testimony from people - who had escaped ffpm behind the Iron Curtain,- and this is the picture we received: in London, every living military, governmental and * economic expert. -and even former members of the Communist party, fold us the stogy of how -Poland was twice betrayed. Gen. Wladyslaw Anders, Gen. Bor-Komorowski and theh- staffs documented in minute detail every incident that led to the deportation of more than 1,500,000 Poles after the Hitler-Stalin pact in 193®. They also deecribed the near,,annihilation . _of the Polish underground army in the Warsaw uprising of 1949. And the only living member of the delegation of Poles invited to Moscow at the end of the war told ila of his days of arrest, torture and eventual escape. The tragedy of Poland was followed by the seizure of the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in 1940. (Estonian foreign minister Karl Sei ter and ambassador to Moscow August Rei told us of conversation® with Stalin. Molotov and Zhdanov—of Soviet promises of territorial integrity which were completely forgotten the Kremlin got their territory. King Michael of Romania told us in London how Andrei Vishinsky forced hint to abdicate—with the royal patac^' completely surrounded by fted Yanks and Soviet artillery waiting for the signal to fire. When .Mfchael refused to follow Vishinsky’s bidding—on the basis of the Yalta agreements —Vishineky pounded the table and screamed: “I am Yalta.” In Munich, we heard the testimony of a former Lt. Col. of th ° MVD, Gregori Stepanovich Burlitski, former commander of the 2nd Bn. 668th MVD border guard, who related the chilling story of how nearly one million people of the Chechen-Ingush, Karacaevtsi, Kai-
myk and Crimean Tartar republics were forcibly reported by Soviet troop* for allegedly helping German troops during World War 11. Then caSHe £he fall—or infiltration—of Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania and finally Cteohoalovakla. .How do the people feelT They are escaping through the Eastern Bed sector of Germany into Berlin's oasis of freedom and West Germany at the rate of 10,000 or more a month. They all hate Communism. They all hate the system that has turned friends into spies, wrenched children from their .paternal control, deported those who would not bow their heads to thh Kremlin. These people have, at the risk of their lives, finally achieved the free world. Some of them have to wait many months before credentials are prepared for their air flight out of Berlin to free Germany or from West Germany to other countries in the free world. One father, who had brought his wife and two children from Czechoslovakia into West Berlin only a Tew weeks ago, told me that 80 percent of the people behind the Iron Curtain are opposed to the Red regime. A Red lieutenant colonel and a Czech air force corporal both told us that there is no will to fight in either the Soviet or the satellite armies. On the other hand, countless people—from workers in the uranium mines to factory technicians—have told us that the Kremlin is building for war and shooting for peace. This is the Soviet propaganda line. Throughout Coinmunist-con--1 r °l led East Ber 1 in, bill board -size shigns proclaim; "We Are For A War Pact ((European defense.)" War Pact (European defense." •But Red propaganda is losing in the cold war. It is losing because in West Berlin and West Germany the economy has made su«h tremendous progress that the eastern zone suffers by comparison. Some say that all people are pretty much the same the world over. I have never quite agreed with that—but I must agree that they are right on one thing;: People who are oppressed' will go through the greatest sacrifices, endure the worst tortures and brave the greatest dangers to achieve ! personal freedom. Our committee visit to Europe • has convinced me of that. -.*■ “ ■———

’54 Polio tan May Be M Despite Hope oi Trial tae! You may have read that Dr. Salk himself has refused a medical award—pending further developments. This is the truth about polio at this time — On a national basis it is on the increase — Meaning that the rate of incidence per thousand is going up. We are fully aware that there are cheaper specified disease policies but-that sort of condition always exists—we can most generally find something cheaper-if-that is what we seek, but — It’s rather costly—even to find out—that you do not have polio! f Where else can you find a policy that covers “suspect” cases of POLIO, ENCEPHLITIS, MENINGITIS and LEUKEMIA up to $250.00 for each member of the family? Even though it is later proven that the disease did not exist? DOG BITES AND RUSTY NAILS Where else can you find a policy that pavs—for the prevention of disease—RAßlES and TETANUS — up to $150.00? Any policy that pretends to cover RABIES and TETANUS—and does not pay to prevent them is bound to be a disappointment to the person owning one—in event of a claim involving either of ’ these two diseases. WHY?—because the ONLY way to treat them successfully—is —prevent them. — If they are prevented—they cannot exist—and—if they do not exist—there can be no recovery—under the ordinary policy. “Cheaper” policies look as good as the best—until a claim is presented. We have told you about only a few of the differences between “cheaper” policies and ours. Lack of space prevents us from telling you many more—but—a comparison of the policv itself with - any other will prove that—OUßS IS ONE OF THE BEST! “BE SURE YOUR’S IS ONE OF THE BEST’ LEM SMITH B AfiEO .
