If the government’s new farm bill isn’t any more popular than the current regulations controling the sale and growing of wheat, the administration will have trouble selling the deal to farmers. 0 o The Indiana County Commissioners Association has adopted a resolution favoring a two-cent a gallon boost in the state gas tax and higher truck taxes. The recommendations will be submitted to the General Assembly next January. Nearly all counties in the state are faced with the problems of improving the macadam roads and lack funds for the work. ——o 0—- ; In the Hoosier state. Warsaw staged one of the most successful centennial celebrations ever assembled. The appearance of Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson. who gave a major address on the opening day. attracted ng; day party. The program of daily - events was outstanding. Warsaw is one of the most flourishing and progressive county seat towns in Indiana, just 100 years young. _o -0— — At present a truce exists in Korea but no peace agreement has been reached. This means that Communist China is at this moment actually at war with the United Nations. It would be strange indeed for the UN to wel- . come as a member an active enemy. For that reason the United States should not withdraw from the jorld organization, but stand ready to block aqy effort on the part of Red China to shoot its way in. 0 o Local members of the Home Demonstration Chorus will join other women groups in the state and go to California next month, where the combined chorus will sing in the Rose Bowl. Approximately 2,000 women will make the trip, which is being organised by Purdue University. It will he quite an event and the nation will hear from the “Singing Farmerettes” as they stage one of the most interesting programs ever broadcast.

Do Hormone Creams Have Cosmetic Value?

ly HERMAN N. WNDESEN, M O. AMERICAN women spend millions of dollars yearly on beauty preparations to Improve the appearance. Cosmetics also serve an important,Junction as a psychological morale builder. Um of Hormones It has been known for years that hormone's In adequate amounts will bring certain changes in aging skin. For this reason, many hormone creams are now being used for the purpose of eliminating wrinkles and rejuvenating skim Test Group In order to test this theory, a group of women between the ages of 35 to 05 were recently tested. A hormone cream was used on one aide of their faces; the other side was treated with an Identical cream without the hormone. It was found, after months of treatment, that the only apparent change to be observed was a

will be made during the last weeks in August. This great humanitarian organisation has done one of the most marvelous jobs of any charitable agency in the country. Basil O'Connor, president of the Polio Organization, says that„2O million dollars wYU be needed to carry on its work. Every community in the nation should help and individuals should give generously to the' worthy cause. The Adams County chapter has helped many patio victims through the years and will receive a share of the funds raised next month. Let’s meet our quota. - —o—-o—-The convicted Puerto Rican terrorists who fired wildly onto the floor of the House of Representatives wounding congressmen will serve long terms in prison. Four of them have received terms of 25 to 75 years. The fifth, a woman, received a . lighter aenttfttcfe of id to 50 years. These misguided persons were under the impression that they were striking a blow for their country’s independence. The fact is that the great majority of Puerto Ricans want to retain their ties with the United States at least for the present-Puerto Rico has the assurance of bur government that it can have its independence whenever it wants it. For the fanatics it was a lucky stroke that murder was not committed. 0 o ■ The abduction of seven American soldiers by. Czechosolvakian Communists is another example of the criminal practices engaged in by Red governments. To lend an air of respectability to the kidnapping they accused the Americans of spying, a charge that our government emphatically denied. The soldiers, when abducted, were riding in a jeep along the Czech border. Our -government has refused to be a party to a “deal’’ by which the Reds would barter the freedom of the seven Americans for the forcible return of three Czech citizens who fled Communist tyranny. This behavior represents, as one American official put it, is a new low in conduct even for Communists. Violence. terror, kidnapping and extortion are the weapons of theunderworld, the enemies of decent, society. Apparentljruie Reds have appropriated these techniques as tools of government

Is it all right to tip the waiter or waitress by the week, instead <ft at every meal, when one 8 staying at a hotel for several weeks? A. Yes; this is often done, and is more convenient. Q. How should a sherbet glass be held, by the bowl or by the stem? A. The base of the bowl should -be held with the fingers, not with the whole hand.

considerable Improvement It certain women who had previously had very dry skin. Lanolin Base The cream that did 'not contain the hormone contained a lanolin base. The studies showed that a noticeable improvement in the appearance of the skin could be obtained through the regular use of a lanolin base cream, especially for women with dry skin. However, the addition of hormones did not have enough effect to warrant their use for cosmetic and rejuvenation purposes alone. QUESTION AND ANSWER F. R.: Is it true that a spinal puncture can seriously cripple a person? . Answer: The dangers from s spinal puncture are indeed very slight Thousands upon thousands of these examinations are done without danger. If done properly, there is no need to feat this examination. ? '

CHAPTER TWENTY -SIX TODD was both comical and forlorn, she thought- And each night as he recounted his experiences ot the day, she saw him the Same. He was at a loss, fighting his battle u the dark. Sometimes he came home feeling himself a victor, and sometimes he came home in a spirit ot depressed and abject defeat. By the end ofAhe month Todd appeared one night with a small abashes smile on his face, and when Joan asked him what that was for, he said, in a tone ot surprises triumph, •They like me! The kids like me! They really do! Out ot all the teachers there, they voted me to help them with their Christmas pagent." “How amazing!" Joan’s brown eyes danced. “1 never would have believed it They like you! Imagine that now." She threw him a kiss across the table. That makes everything different, doesn’t It?" “In away. Yes, In away, of course. But—" “Now!.Now! But —what?” “Well—” he paused. "Well, if it Just doesn't make me too caty with them — this popularity, I mean. You know! I'm so glad to nave them like me and so eager to nave them keep on liking me that—" He gestured. “You’ll work that out, Todd." His eyes rested on her face. •‘You always sound so sure of me, Jo-Jo,” he said. “It certainly helps make me feel sure of myself. Did 1 ever tell you that ?” "Not in so many words.” “Well, here they are, then. Better late than never.” A warm glow filled her heart.

lies on G.ls holiday, what about Christmas? It was too much of an undertaking for Todd's mother. Should Joan and Todd try to have everyone up here in their little apartment ? Qr should they combine,with the Hunters downstairs where there was more room ? < Todd said, *T think we'd better combine with Mother and Dad downstairs." And then he stopped abruptly and looked across at Joan with startled eyes, while his hand went down to his right side and pressed against a sudden sharp, stabbing pain there. '.'“What's the matter? "1 don't know. I —” He got up, his face drawn and twisted. "Look, Jo. Go call up Doc Rogers, will you? See it he’s home. I think I'd better go over there. This isn’t the first—But 1 thought—" He dropped into a chair again, doubled over m his distress. Joan Hew downstairs to the Hunters' telephone. Yes, the doctor was at home. Yes, he would see Todd, certainly, though these were not his office hours. Could he get there all right or did he want .the doctor to come to the manse? Joan thought Todd could make it to the office, she told him. They would be right over. Hanging up the receiver, she turned to face Todd's mother, who had limped out from the kitchen in alarm to find out what was going on. Joan said quietly, “Todd isn’t feeling very w-cll, Mother Hunter. We re going to see the doctor." “Oh, my goodness! What do you thinks the matter?" “I don’t know. “It’s probably just somctiiing he’s eaten.” She did not believe this herself. Nor was she surprised when, a little later, the short, jovial, rolypoly doctor, who was an old friend as well as the family physician, made his pronouncement. “Acute appendicitis.- Wc must get thta young man to the hospital immediately.” Joan's head spun.

can do. It’s up to me. I’ve called the ambulance. That wasn't absolutely necessary, perhaps, but it’s the quickest way io get there and —” He turned as Todd came slowly out of the office, dressed again but moving carefully and with bis face gray.

Juan moved swiftly to his side. "Well, we Know the routine, darling, don't we?" He nodded, his smile stiff. 'The works.'' He turned to the doctor. "Guess 1 should have'come to you a month ago, but I thought it was something that would pass.” The doctor grunted. “People think that too often. Be with you in a moment." And he disappeared. Through the half-closed door they heard him telephoning cnsp, sharp ordera Before he had finished there came the sound of the siren down the street and he emerged again, his black bag In hand. "Well, here -we go,” he said cheerfully. Todd on the stretcher. The doctor and the orderly beside him. Joan wedged tn, too. The wailing note of the warning siren and the swift race through darkening streets to the hospital. Todd said, T’U be all right, honey." "Os course.” "Better call my folks. This will be something of a shock to Dad, so if he answers, be careful His heart, you know.” "1 know." And then — bless him — he grinned and said to the doctor, “Will I be fit to cat Thanksgiving turkey, Doc?” "Next week? Sure thing. You can count on double helpings. At the hospital Joan waited alone in the solarium. She called Todd's mother and, gave her the news, saying she would call again soon. Yes, she would wait here. Yes, they would let her stay. No, please don't bother to save supper. She wasn't hungry and did not know when she would be back. She would get something out ot her own icebox later, it she wanted anything. And would Mother Hunter call Joan’s mother and tell her the news? There were so many people waiting to use the phone at the hospital that Joan did not want to hold it longer. “ , tTo Be Continued}

Racial Segregation In Schools Assailed Resolution Adopted By Methodist Men LAFAYETTE, Ind. (INS)—Racial segregation in public schools was 'denounced in a resolution adopted by 1.700 delegates from all parts of the notion — at the national conference of (Methodist into. The resolution cites Die recent United States supreme court decision outlawing aggregation and urged (Methodists tn 17 states and the Dietriot of Columbia, where segregation prevails, “to lend their active, mbral and vocal support in the implementation of this decision, thereby signifying our intention of applying the religion of Jesus Christ in all areas of our life.” Bishop Richard C. Raines of Indianapolis deplored moral decay, saying: . ’ * "The position of morals, especially personal morals has grown progressively weaker and less secure. More people are victims of the drink habit. An accelerating proportion of marriages result in failure. Juvenile delinquency is at all times high. Drug addiction has spread even in our high schools. The eex practices among the younger generation show that standards of sex behavior are, for large groups, almost non-existent. "We are naturally led to question whether there is not something wrong with a religion which does not result in nobler and more widespread personal and social morality. But the real solution* lies in acceptance of the teachings of Christ.” 4-H Adult Leaders To Meet Wednesday All adult 4-H club leaders of Adams county will meet in the pavilion at Lehman Park.
