Learn to swim at the pool. o 0— Here's another week and anything can happen in Washington and the halls of congress. According to the congressional calendar, the members of congress have only two more weeks to adopt the administration’s legislative program. Will they act? J . .o o Sen. Knowland has bad much to say on the administration’s foreign policy and has opposed President Eisenhower on several points. He refers to the present session of congress as a “talkfest’’ and could easily be considered one of the principle participants, 0 o ■ <“«• ' J The Ontario hydroelectric commission has called for the first bids for work on the power part of the St. Lawrence seaway project.

They spent 12 days behind the iron curtain but seemed to be unharmed at the time of their release. The Czechs tried to accuse them of spying. The charge simply wouldn't hold up. State department officials sent a sharp note to the government demanding the release of the Americans and, in their own good time, the " them go.

Disease of Lymph Glands

ly HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. AN Itch that cannot be controlled; with no visible sign of any akin disturbance, may possibly be the first sign of Hodgkin’s disease. This is a chronic, steadily progressive disease In which there is a growing, painless enlargement of the lymph glands throughout the body. The spleen and liver - may also become greatly enlarged because they contain lymph tissues. Cause Unknown The cause is unknown, although Hodgkin's disease is more prevalent among males than females. It can occur at any age. although its yean of greatest occurrence are between the third and fourth decades. The lymph glands of the neck are •usually the earliest to be involved. first on one side, then on the other. The dieease, however, can start anywhere In the body.

It is not likely that major work on the reconstruction of the highway will be before next summer. Complete details were not given by the engineers. but it is hoped that the road will be- 7 widened. The highway commission also said that ■4 plans tor building a four-lane highway over the route were in the picture of the future, but did not indicate when the project would be realised. The road is too narrow for the amount of traffic it carries and the planned improvement cannot come too soon for those who travel this important link in the north-to-south highway from the Great Lakes region to Florida. , x _o—o—: Jet Transport:— Another milestone in aviation was passed when America’s first ,jet transport plane was tested successfully at Renton Field, Wash. The plane is the. Boeing 707, built to cruise at 550 miles per hour. Its pilot got the big plane in the air in less than half the distance of the 5,400-foot runway. . / • ■ Officials of the company say that the transport, which can alsp be used as a tanker, will be able to cross the continent in less than five hours and will make non-stop. . trans-Atlantic flights in less than seven hours. As a tanker it will be' able to re-fuel jet bombers *f high altitudes and at great speed. As a transport it will be capable of carrying heavy loads over long distances. A commercial version is contemplated which will be able to carry 130 passengers: Our security and our Continued prosperity depends on continuous improrementofohrtrunspertation and communication facilities. The new plane will contribute to that end. It is becoming more and more difficult to remember when planes were looked on as a novelty and when people stopped to watch them pass overhead. Few would hdve predicted in those early day of flight the role plane* have come to play in our lives.

About reproductions which must be distinguished from genuine oM articles. “You could easily be fooled,” Mrs. Cochran had warned her. **A lot of glass patterns, for instance, are reproduced nowadays. And it’s hard to tell them from the originals. But you'll get the feel after a while. And you'll learn by the looks, too, when you’ve bad some experience. One way you can tell —there are irregularities in old glass. Lopsidedness, imperfections, bubbles. Even sand and dirt are sometimes left in IL But the new stuff, which is factory made, is uniform and perfect,” She had gone on to talk about furniture, then, until Joan * head had spun.

What do you expect? A free lecture? I get paid for my lectures! I have a price (or telling what 1 know.” “1 teit like a whipped puppy,” Joan had said, laughing a little. “But 1 was mad, too, I meant to buy something there. Only I wanted to find out more about the piece first, because 1 was buying for Diane's mother and it had to be authentic. Well, believe me! I walked out ot there without buying a thing. What'* more.

tag up a piece of china here, a bit of glass there, and who finally settled down in the rocker to chat with Joan. He appeared to know as much about antiques as Mrs. Cochran, and when Joan remarked that she was just a beginner in the business and was here to learn more, he spent a full half hour leading her around and explaining what the different marks meant on the underside ot the china. "I’ll tejijyou about silver marks nekt timeTwome, if you like,” he said finally. “But now I must be on my way or my wife will be sending the police to look for me. That’s the trouble with this as a hobby. It’s too absorbing. It’s worse than a disease.” He laughed and moved to the ball to pick up his table. "Well, good luck to you. Tell Mr*. Cochran I’m still thinking about that grandfather clock there in the corner. I’ll decide soon.” “I’ll tell her. And thank you so inwar tor gn yoirve uught me.” He went out and the bell jingled into silence. The door opened and the doorbell jangled. It was Miss Slavonski. She was a small woman with a dark, narrow face and quickly moving black eyes that were set too close together. “Mrs. Cochran isn’t here? Oh! Where'* Mrs. Slocum ? She's gone, too? You're new, then, aren’t you?" "Yea,” said Joan. "Well, I'm a regular buyer. Mrs. Cochran knows me." She pui.ed off her glove* and stuffed them in her fur coat pocket. “I’ll just looit around tor a mt,” she went ah, moving tnto the room on the right ot the halL “1 don't know what 1 want till I'Ve looked around.” One heavily ringed rfana, like a small claw ending in long, dark red nails, reached out and casually picked up a decanter, turning it upside down to see the price. “Don’t mind me," she said, glancing up suddenly and Showing very white teeth in a mechamcar smile. "Go right ahead with whatever you w,ere doing. I’ll call you when I'm ready to do business.” She paused to open her capacious Handbag that nung from her left wrist and pulled out her glasses case trom iL “I'm blind as a bat without these,” she said, and slipped bone spectacles on her nose. “Don't mind me, it takes me a while to make up my mind.” .... “Oh, that * all right Take your time.” Miss Slavonski moved on between two tables wbe r e silver spoon* and small glass salt dips wer* spread out in rows, each tagged with a price marker. She examined them ail, ner lips pursed. "Mrs. Cochran ought. to junk her souvenir spoons,” she said. "Nobody wants them much any more. That's a nice berry spoon but the gold’s worn off. Anyway, it's too iugn-pneed tor me.” She hitched up a shoulder and walked casually to the cherry corner cupboard, which she opened “What hav* we here ? Hm." She inspected a few articles. With a bored air. Finally she picked up the Dresden trinket box and turned It over. "I'll take thia little China box,” she said finally, and dropped it tnto her bag with a carelessness that made Joan stifle a gasp. "Don't you want me to wrap it for you?"

“Oh, no, you needn’t bother. It isn’t worth much. But it’s the kind of thing that will go quickly in the Christmas trade.” “It’s worth twenty-five dollar*,” Joan said. _ • . “Oh, no, my dear. It’* not It’* only worth five. -5 “It’* marked twenty-five.” TYou’re mistaken, 1 assure you.” The ringed hand, with it* redtipped clawlike fingers, reached back Into the bag and took out the box again. “See? That’s a five on the bottom there. Not twenty-five • ’Let me look. I was *ore—” Joan reached out a hand and obtained possession of it, her heart beating fast. Sure enough. There was only a figure five to be seen crayoned there now. “There's a mistake,” she said, lifting her bead and looking squarely at Miss Slavonski. “This is worth twenty-five dollars. It was marked twenty-five dollars not half an hour ago. I know because I was looking at It. It—” Mits Slavonski’s thta lips curled in a mean smile. “Be careful, my dear. That’* smart of you, but I’m just as smart. And if you think you're going to pocket twenty whole buck* for yourself, I’ll report you to my friend, Mrs. Cochran. I don't think ahe’ll like tL Not a biL Here* a fiver for you. Now hand it over." The color flew, up Into Joan’* face. Her voice shook, but she held tight to the box. "You rubbed off the figure two’ all the time you were talking! 1 saw you doing it with your thumb! You just thought because 1 was new here —” "Are you accusing me of being ♦— Why. you impudent hussy! 1 most certainly wUI report you to Mrs. Cochran! And 1 shall tell her I’ll buy nothing more f»om her while you're in the shop!" She yanked off her glasses, tossed them into her bag, snapped it shut and marched in high dudgeon out to the hall. At the door she paused and looked back, ner eye* glittering with anger. t, “Are you going to make a sale tor your boss or aren’t you?" 'Til sell It to you for twentyfive dollars less the discount, because you’re in the trade." I “I’m not interested.” ] - "I’m sorry.” l ' _ Miss Slavonski hesitated. Then she shrugged.

But that was probably what it was, because it was after twelve now. Oh, why why had she forgotten it? Hurrying down the narrow hall, she sprang up the three steps at the rear and came into the old wing ot the house. To her horror, |he saw flames leaping up the curtains that hung at the window next to the range. In a flash she knew what bad happened. A dish towel had dropped from a rack above the stove down next to the boiling soup pot. She could see a charred remnant still burning. The fire must have spread from this across to the curtains. Perhaps the draft from the front door when Miss Siavonskl had slammed out had blown the burning rag and then sent the flames upward. For an instant she stood paralysed, thinking df all the valuable antiques out front for which she was responsible, and then ot the small town hre department which was probably a volunteer one and which might take fifteen or twenty minutes to arrive. “It’s up to me,” she knew swiftly, and she sprang forward, seized the curtains tn her bars hands and jerked them hard.

No Korea Settlement Appearing In Sight

(Editor’s note: The armistice that ended the shooting war In Korea on July 27, 1953, is approaching its first anniversary with no permanent * settlement yet in sight. So the ceasefire lines still are manned by alert American troops, on guard and ready for what- , ever may come. What has the last year of armistice meant to our Gi’s tn Korea? Whet do they do? How do they feel? How is their morale? The following article tells the story.) By ROBERT SCHAKNE SEOUL, (INS) — The hot war ended in Korea a year ago, but America's strongest fighting force still mana a defense line on a now-silent front across the peninsula—and is still a top-notch army although most of the combat veterans hgve gone heme. In view of its commander, Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, the eighth' army is more able to resist Communism today than it was a year ago. However, with the com bat-tested soldiers mostly gone through rotation, which frees a man from Korea duty after a maximum 16 month tour, the eighth army is a green and untried one. The precise number, of combat veterans remaining with the eighth army is estimated at 20 to 40 percent. By autumn virtually all* of these will be gone. Until July 27 a year ago, the eighth army’s mission was oge of combat against the Communist army. Today it is one of preparing for combat that may or may not come, and making sure the troops are properly trained and in the proper frame of mind to fight if they have to. It boils down pretty much to a question of morale and training. The problems and activities of the eighth army today are ones created by the events of the past year and the armistice that ended the fighting a year ago. As a result of the past 12 months, this is what has happened: 1. The combat veterans are mostly gone and will all be gone shortly. 2. Two divisions of troops—the 40th and 45th —totaling close to 400,000 men were sent home and not replaced, reducing eighth army American combat strength by one-foUrth. 3. The ROK army has been expanded to 20- divisions, taking up the gap. or part of it, left by the reduction in American troops. ». 4. The army, which once spent its time fighting, now doesn't have to fight—and must find a substitute to keep the troops busy as they stand guard along the silent front. 5. The eighth army bad a clear sense of mission when the war was on. fighting the Communists. Now- it is the eighth army's prob-, lem to imbue troops with the idea of the importance of thejr present mission, and prevent a repetition of the uncontrollable demand in 19v.-> oy all troops to go home immediately after the World War II fighting stopped. Staff officers point to statistics to prove their contention that morale is good. The records show the number of courts-martial, absences without leave and disciplinary punishments are slowly being reduced and in the words of the army’s personnel chief are "far below the average of any other field army." At the front, any group of soldiers will fill in the visitor with a host of complaints—but the top officers say this represents only the G.l.’s inalienable right to gripe.

Almost too exciting, she told herself. It had been too narrow ah escape. A quiet afternoon, however, helped to calm her down, so that when Mrs. Cochran came home at five o’clock, Joan could tell the incidents ot the day quite composedly. Mrs. Cochran listened, nodding. "Well, I thank my lucky stars it was you here when this happened and not Mrs. Slocum. She loees her head too quickly. Besides, she's a heavy woman and slow on her feet. She would never have been able to got that fire put out before it spread.

“7But surprisingly there has been no significant clamor to go home and even the most unhappy G. I. manning a battle position will admit that somebody—although preferably not him—must stand guard. The troops keep busy in a variety of ways. Training is intensive and there are always the military jobs that mast be done. Bunkers and trenches ean always stand Improvement. Rifles, machine guns and tanks require constant cleaning, care and maintenance. There are some probiefns difficult to overcome. Because of the roution system, men comb to Korea green and inexperienced. Some officers complain about the leadership quality of the non-commis--1 stoned officers. They say the sergeants and corporals as well as many officers, are too young and inexperienced to do their jobs properly. Finally, as a morale factor, the eighth army has two other 4a--1 vices. One is what the soldier calls the “Small R,” as contrasted to the “Big R," or rotation. The “Small R” is a rest and recuperation leave tor five to seven days in Japan. The other device Is the vast troop information and education program and the special services program of the eighth army. Right now, 17,27psoldiers attend classes of the army education system. Many others take correspondence courses. The special services program makes possible *an athletic program. There is crafts equipment and instruction. Libraries, including some located in busses, move from unit to unit. There are movies, and USO or soldier shows. It is far from being the same as home, but it is an effort to make the duty in Korea more pleasant *" u 1 y . Lover Lane Murder Under Investigation Anderson Youth Is Slain During Party ANDERSON. Ind.
