The levy, based on the county’s net valuation should produce about *B.OOO a year in revenue and with other assets of the 4-H clubs, would be a big help toward construction of desired housing facilities for farm youth activities. 4) -o «; Taxes are based on property values and In the final compilation of taxable property in Decatur the total has fallen approximately *200.000, compared with last year's nesaesmants Do this valuation loss the civil city and its departments will lose about *3,200 in revenue, figured on the current rate of *1.61 on each SIOO of taxables. The reduction in revenue may prevent a reduction in the city’s tax rate, payable in 1955. ——o—o Forty years ago, they tell us, Adams county was noted for its stock of good farm horses. Along about that time. Decatur was famous as a horse-sale market. Now there are so few horses in the county that the assessors do’” not carry a separate total of the number. The beasts of burden are included in the category of “other farm property”. The tractor and other mechanized equipment have taken the place of the farm horse.

F Artery Banks Now Aid ' Patients with Aneurysm

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, HD. HOSPITALS, like automobile agencies, have now developed ■pare parts departments. Thirty yean ago, the Idea that parts of one human body could be replaced by parts from another human body was held to be highly unlikely. We now have many types of banks In hospitals to help repair the human body. There are bone banks, blood banks, eye banka, akin grafting banks and cartilage banks. _ Artery Bank "Today, we have a new type of bank known as an artery bank. Portions of blood vessels can usually be stored for a considerable length of time under proper refrigeration. A fa’rly common disease found in many people is known as aneurysm of the aorta. This Is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, or Targe artery, that flows out of the heart. Most often this occurs as this large blood vesse

New buildings and improvements added to real estate in the city- were assessed for *123,700 this year. The figure is low, but it does reflect a steady growth in the value of homes and buildings within the corporate limits. The assessed value of all taxable property in the city, including railroads and utilities exceeds ten million dollars, which figure can be tripled or quadrupled according to the way you evaluate the worth of all property In your home tow*. o Q It is possible that the Red victory in Indochina, for in plain words that is what it is, mjy not ' be as complete as it seems to be. The fact that Premier MendesFrance succeeded in gaining an end to the long and unprofitable war raised his prestige to a point in France beyond any reached by any French poll t Bia n since the end of World War 11. If he uses this prestige to press for French ratification of the European Defense Community that organization may yet become a reality. The Premier has the chance to become the strong man in France. 0 0 Polar Importance:— Admiral Richard E. Byrd, arctic explorer and one of the world’s foremost authorities on the frozen parts of the world, said in a recent interview that as the advances of science continues to make the world smaller the importance of the polar regions increases. u » Admiral Byrd pointed out that In the event of ww the Arctic could prove to be a corridor ' through which an enemy might launch an attack. He also said that if the Panama Canal should be destroyed the importance of the Antarctic would be increased, adding that destruction of the canal is a possibility in any war. He emphasized the role that defense of Greenland plays In assuring our security and spoke of experiments being conducted with the use of floating ice island as defense stations. He said such stations have possibilities as listening posts in the arctic defense work. From time to time there are reports which demonstrate Russia's interest in the polar regions. The desolate lands of ice and snow may yet play a vital part in the history of the world.

reaches the abdomtn. The vessel swells like a large balloon. K can rupture, due to the weakened wall, instantaneously killing the patient. On a Powder log The patient with an aneurysm is like one sitting on a powder keg that may explode at any moment. It is hero that an artificial graft becomes important. The diseased portion of the artery can be clamped and tied off, and the artery replaced. Drugs to prevent clotting often must be used to keep the blood from clotting in this new graft while the surgery is being performed. This type of operation may be lifesaving.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX JOAN and Todd were in Washington again. It was the second week in June and Todd was already taking tils training course. In a month or two he would begin on his regular work In the same office with Tom. Behind the young Hunters lay aurried days of activity and unoelievable good luck, for they were in the Blakelees* apartment. They had taken over their lease and Pam and Tom had moved out into the country, to their small farm. “When things happen to us, they certainly happen fast!” Joan said. Todd nodded across the table where they were eating breakfast in their sunny kitchen. “Our luck has turned, I guess," he said, his gray eyes meeting hers with that warm and Joyous look. Then he threw down his napkin as his glance caught the clock, and he sprang to his feet "Golly I’ve got to rush or I’ll miss my bus!" He stopped beside her long enough to drop a kiss on her hair. "Goodby, honey. Take care of both of you, won’t you?” “Don’t worry!" Contentment filled her. Their life*— hers and Todd’s together—was beginning to take shape and to bold a promise of yielding them the things they wanted from it She stirred her coffee idly, her mind going back over time. Not quite a year since she had been married. Eleven months, to be exact Eleven months crowded with adjustments, anxieties, sickness, disappointments and changes. Eleven months of groping, you might say. Eleven months of wishful thinking, of fears, of uncertainties, yet of hopes, too. Always of hopes. But now the fears and wishful thinking and uncertainties were ended and hope was being fulfilled. Now, for the first time, she felt as if she and Todd were really going to put down roots. Looking back, the weeks seemed to have sped by. Indeed, the year’s experience was not lost It had clarified Todd’s thinking for him. It bad pointed his way clearly to the path he was on now where, she was sure, he would talk without hesitation or misgiving. She remembered what her mother bad said on this subject Joan had asked her, after the

Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE I 0 o Q. Should a bride-elect write, notes of thanks to all the guests who attended a shower in her honor? ' • T •A, This is not necessary. Her thanks at the affair itself should be sincere and gracious enough. However, she should be sure to write a note of thanks to the hostess of the shower, and she can later entertain the guests at a luncheon or bridge party, either before or after the wedding. Q. I see people in public eating places wbo persist in breaking crackers into their soup. Isn’t that very ill-bred ? A. Once upon a time it was considered improper. But now it ia quite proper to do so. Q. Is it all right for a man to use only his initials when signing social correspondence? A. No; he should sign his full name. Fake Hair Now Really Fake!' NEW YORK. (INS) — The latest thing in hairdos is fake hair—and the latest thing in fake hair is a synthetic fiber. Those fancy chignons which Paris has been advocating have been copied in America, at a much lower price. With Dynel taking the place of hair. But you can't tel) the Dynel hair from hair. These "synthetic” hairpieces, which will be in department stores this month, are being turned out by a custom hair piece maker in New York.

summons came from Washington, whether she felt Todd was making a mistake to give up his idea of teaching when, for so long, he had wanted it “No," her mother had replied without a moment’s hesitation, *T never could see Todd as a teacher. He loves ideas. It was Goethe’s ideas that appealed to him. It is ideas—abstractions—that he likes to deal with. Policies and plans. Not people—except as he can link them up to the policies and plans that interest him. No, he wasn’t meant for a. teacher. He doesn’t love people enough.’* “But—but he’s good with them!" had been her surprised answer. “He has always been popular 1 He was a leader at college. And during that year in Switzerland he got along wonderfully with all kinds of people!” “I don’t mean that he can’t get along with them,” her mother had replied. “Todd has great tact and a great deal of personal charm—and people intrigue him. But they intrigue him as puzzles that he must study and fit together, or fit into some scheme that is a pet project Os his. Or else—and this chiefly, 1 think—as sources of personal refreshment and nourishment. He has no Interest in them as vessels into which he must keep pouring himself. He has none of the desire to mould and shape and guide that a true teacher must have. He has no missionary spirit. He wants to develop Todd Hunter, not a classroom otjuveniles. No, 1 never could see him as a teacher, and I’m glad he has freed himself." Joan’s mind moved to those first weeks of living at the manse when Todd's mother had been such a problem—a problem that she had tried to solve by herself but which, understanding it, Todd had known best how to solve. Then the hot summer of work when he, not really enthusiastic, had, with loyalty and patience, helped her in her Interest in antiques. The fall when he had so suddenly been smitten with appendicitis and money troubles had swarmed and she had realized sharply that she was not holding up her end and that she must get busy on her book. Her efforts to hold up her end by selling the chair and secretly borrowing money from her publishers,

and Todd’s reaction to all that. He had appreciated it, of course, but he had wanted to make clear to her that he did not want to count on her as a wage earner. How sweet and tender Todd had been whey she had told him that a baby was coming. “Really, Joan? Are you sure?" “Yes, I’m sure." “Have you been to a doctor?" She had nodded. “1 didn’t want to say anything to you until 1 had. I—well—l didn’t want to get your hopes up for nothing." That was exactly what he had said to her about this Washington business. Consideration — tenderness—trust and love. These were solid things on which to build a life. And she and Todd had them all. How wonderful, really, it was to be married! To grow together the way she and Todd were doing. To build together. To know that she would never have a feeling of aloneness because there were two of them. They were a staunch team who would always divide their difficulties and double their joys. If she ever lost confidence in herself, Todd gave it back to her. If she were ever frightened, Todd renewed her courage. If she grew tired or downhearted, Todd was there to sing heartwarming praises in her ear and to make cheering jokes that lifted her up. Yes, it was wondcrlul to be married. The sun moved in the sky outside and a finger of it reached through the window toward Joan. She lifted her face to the warm light in smiling happiness. It would be a Christmas baby, perhaps, she had told Todd. And with bls arms around her, he had said softly, "That would be lovely, wouldn’t it? If that happens and it’s a boy, we’ll call him Christopher. And if it's a girl, we’ll call her Christine. Okay?’* Os course it was okay. She sat on quietly there In her sparkling little kitchen until the sun moved again, catching in the bronze of her hair and turning it into a golden halo about her head. And there we will leave Joan, happy in her memoriek, rich in her friendships and experiences, confident of the future tn which she and Todd would, indeed, make a "bright river of beauty" of their days together.
