With a surplus of several million pounds of fresh butter on hand we seem to be willing to trade some of it for Russian manganese which we need. Why not? They surely can't turn our batter Into any thing very dangerous 0 0 The agriculture department is plunging to have potatoes labeled so that housewives may pick out the type of spuds for baking, trying or potato chips. There will no longer be guess work in selecting potatoes okayed by the U.B.A. The president insists he has reduced taxes. Maybe he has but we have gone over our income tax report dozens of times and we cant find many spots where we can figure a reduction. Thejr must have added some items while reducing some of the others a little. 0 0 Var i o u 8 township institutes will be held in Adams county . next month.

We suppose there is good reason but the public ought to know it since Mr. Wilson concludes his investigation with an assertion that back In 1946 there was “clear indications of derogatory information."

Correcting a Hernia

By HUMAN N. BUNKSEN. M.D. YOU don’t have to do hard manual labor to develop a hernia. While the inguinal hernia Is frequently found in laborers, others also suffer, no matter what their occupation. Children get them, too. A hernia is a rupture, and an Inguinal hernia is the most common type. The inguinal area is the section where your thigh meets your body. Wecxk.Wcdl A hernia is simply a protrusion which results when the abdominal wall has a weak section. The protrusion is a sac which may contain omentum or fat or a portion of the small or large bowel or bladder. Or it may contain a combination of these organs. You may cause a hernia by lifting a heavy weight, by straining or even by coughing. If a father has a hernia, hie son frequently has one also, although we are not certain that heredity Is to blame. You will easily recognize the symptoms of a hernia. It causes a swelling of varying size, usually in or near the groin. The swelling is most noticeable when you stand, strain or cough. Except during its production, It is not neoessarlly painful. Men are more apt to get a hernia than are women. Women probably are most susceptible following childbirth, when their abdominal walls relax. An operation upon the abdominal walls may also weaken them enough to permit a hernia to develop. Contents Pressed Bock Frequently the contents of a hernia may be pressed back into th« abdominal wall by trusses or niPkoru. jmL _ _ .

A friendly rivalry has come lato the open between Decatur's two service cluba Lions and Rotary concerning their ability to raise funds tor the March of Dimes. It's quite a contest and of course the polio fund wilt be the winner. It couldn't happen over a * more worthy cause and everyone is hoping that the scrap continues through the month until the polio drive is completed. 0 0 The Adams county Memorial hospital management is getting closer each year toward the goal of self-support. Cost of operation In 1964 came within a few hundred dollars of being eelf-main-tainlng, without the use of any of the three cent general tax money. The board has made some important changes recently. Including the hiring of Thurman I. Drew as business manager. Unless unpredicted costly repairs make farther expenditures necessary the hospital should operate this year in the black figures. 0 0 Two prominent former Decatur cltixens were returned here this week for burial. Dallas Hunsicker, former Decatur business man was known 36 years ago among all the children of the town as the “friendly candy man". He later moved with Mrs. Hunsicker to Butler where they successfully conducted a variety store. Miss Eva Acker, Decatur public school teacher for almost a half csshtury, started many of today's Decatur business men in school Both lived long aad useful lives and both left much to be remembered by thiair Borne town friends. - 0— — Decatur police answered more than 5,200 complaints and calls during 1954, Chief James Borders has reported. This only tells part of the story of the Decatur police department. These men guide traffic for funerals; protect school children at busy crossings during the school year; patrol alleys and answer thousands of questions day and night. Every man on the force is trained in police work. Our congratulations go to Chief Borders and his patrolmen who have the tough job of protecting and policing the city.

The size of the hernia, however, may become greater over the yearr as the abdominal wall becomes weaker. Its size may increase because of irritation or pressure, or because it has been permitted to protrude tor a long time. The contents of the hernia may become attached to the Inside of the sac, in which case, It cannot be returned to Its proper position. Thlti Is called an Irreducible hernia. A Sarious Condition ,r^~' An irreducible hernia Is a serious matter. In such a condition, the sac and Its content#, are constantly outside the abdominal cavity. You can readily see they then become susceptible to further njury or constriction. Now this may Interrupt the normal flow of the contents of the Intestine and may even shut off the blood supply, causing gangrene. This calls for surgery to correct the condition. By surgery, we can return the contents of the sac to their normal position and remove the sac entirely. Through surgery we can also strengthen the weakened abdominal wail. QUESTION AMP AJfSWEM M. W.: What causes moles on the face and body? Is there any way of getting rid of them? Answer: Moles are usually congenital. that is. they are present at birth, although they may enlarg. considerably after birth. Certain types of moles should be left alone. Your physiclar will deter lne whether or not removal is necessary in your particular case. ■timfmtß inrr

CHAPTER ONE IT HAD rained during the night, Out when Dr, Fred Beler iet himself out of his Bide door the sky in the east was blue, and reflected itself handsomely in the small panes of his home’s many windows. Too many windows, too-small panes, Katie said. His eyes crinkling with laughter at Katie's housewifely complainings, the doctor touched his fingertips against the trunk of an old tree which sheltered his home and his stiU-sleeping wife, dropped his bag behind the front seat of his station wagon, slid in behind the wheel and expertly backed into the street, out and away on the first call of his day. He wore no hat; he was always leaving his hat somewhere and having to go back for it, or wait until it was returned to him. “Look out, Schnukl!” he called to the small dog who was endeavoring to keep up with the paper boy’s bicycle, and so had risked death before the doctor’s car. “Watch the dog!” he shouted. “Hi, Doc!” Fred could see the youngster’s grinning face in the mirror. He nodded. An hour of fresh air and exercise, morning and evening, was helping the Albritton boy: that, and the sense of earning his own money. Whistling Brahms' under his breath, his very-blue eyes serene, the doctor stopped the car before the Bay front gate, and told himself sternly that he must stop making bouse calls! People could come to the hospital; a doctor used up valuable time and energy making the rounds of every runny nose. Stepping gingerly around the. shining puddles in the yard, Fred went up on the small porch. The door opened before him. “Good morning, Mrs. Bay,” he said in his rich voice. He looked swiftly, critically, at the young wife. Not pregnant again, he hoped. He then looked at the child on her hip, and frowned at the rash on the soft cheek. “Stop in for some salve when you go to the store,” he told the mother. “How’s Art?” “He was awful restless, all night.” "Feverish. Why I sent him home. Keep the baby away from him.”

Already the doctor Was into the small bedroom where his patient lay upon a clean but crumpled bed. The only chair In the room was cluttered with a box of tissues, a roll of toilet paper, a glass of water —Fred sat down on the edge of the mattress, and took out his thermometer case. Opening his bag, he produced cotton and a small bottle of alcohol; he wiped the thermometer, then put it under the sick man’s tongue.” “Feel rotten, Art?” His hand held the hot wrist, his eyes followed the sweeping hand of his watch. The man he attended was a printer; his fingernails were as black as coal, his skin darkened with Ingrained ink. He was young, a veteran of the war. After it, he had come to Jennings, had bought five acres of land, this small, shoddily built house and had produced three children In five year*. Now he was a sick man, and Fred must take good care of him. Arthur Bay could not afford a long siege of influenza and weeks of convalescence. Nor could he risk death from pneumonia. The patient wu sick, but his eyes studied the doctor curiously during those two minutes of silence. When Fred withdrew the thermometer and took it to the window to read. Art asked, “How old are you, Doc?” “Thirty-two. Why ?” “Hair’s going awful gray, isn’t it?” “Yes, it is. You fallows and your germs are the reason.” “I ache ail over, Doc.” “Yes, I know you do. FU give you a shot. Art. I want you to rest all you cam, but take care of yourself, too, will you? Mabel and the babies are better Off out of this room." ** “Flu ?” “Sure. But maybe we can knock it early.” “They need me at the shop.” "I’ll bet they don’t even know you’re gone. Turn over, Boy. This’ll hit you— There! Now do as I say, drink lots of water and Juices. And don’t fuss it the kids are noisy. Mabel has ’em every day. And they were as much your idea as hers. Be good!” He was out into the small living room, smiling at the worried young Wife "it s flu," he said m a nor ;

She answered his flashing smile, and went back into the house, reeling better. "We sure are hicky to have the Doc," she told her oldest child. The doctor would have agreed, had he had time, but be was already looking forward to the next call —a child. There was a large proportion of children among Fred’s patients, but he felt himself inexperienced In pediatrics, and for all his reading on the subject those cases worried him most. This child—the Beckwiths were prosperous ranchers; Venetian blinds graced the windows of the bedroom into which the doctor was shown; the bed was of “waterfall" walnut. Fred considered it hideous, but certainly it had cost real money. The child wore downpajamas and a chenille robe—and her hair needed washing. But she had been sick—acute tonsilitis, which did not seem to respond to the doctor's case. If he could get that throat clean, he wouid take the tonsils out . . . He made a thorough examination, with the worried mother hovering at his shoulder. The father came Into the house before he was through, having seen the doctor's car in the driveway. Fred sat thoughtful He’d like to take Dolores to the hospital, so that he would be sure of her care. But her mother would insist on coming, too. and the father, probably. He wondered what these parents would say should he look up and advise them to conceive another child at once. They were forty—Dolores was destined to-be an only child, and literally her parents breathed for her. An unhealthy situation, ot which tonsilitis was only a symptom. o. Sc jContin ucc/j jjttk

Ike Hopes To Avoid Shooting War In China Ask Chiang To Give Up Small Islands Under Protection WASHINGTON (INS) — President Eisenhower today put his hopes In a brand new strategic concept to save Formosa and at the same time avoid a shooting war between Americans and the Chinese Communists. The strategy baa not yet been ordered into effect. Approval must first be obtained from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, who is being asked to give up some small islands, and then Mr. Elsenhower would have to get a go-ahead from the senate for at least part of his plan. The senate would have to approve use of U. S. warships and planes (to protect the withdrawal of an estimated 10,000 Chinese Nationalist troops now on the Tachans. This aspect of the plan : has raised fears among some senators that the operation to cover the withdrawal might get the U. S. entangled in the very war it wants to avoid. In brief the strategy is to evacuate Chiang’s troops from some or all of the email islands the Nationalists hold near the China .coast . and.at the, same time make it more clear than ever to the Chinese Reds that U. S. warships and warplanes will fight to defend Formosa and the Pescadores. The objective would be two-fold: First, evacuation of such islands as the Tachens, 290 miles north of Formosa, would eliminate the present danger that the U. S. might get mixed up in a war to defend islands the Eisenhower administration says are not important. Secondly, there is hope that if the Chinese Communists can be absolutely convinced they would have to fight through the U. S. seventh fleet to get to Formosa, they would not attack Chiang KaiShek’s last bastion. The administration believes that a firm stand to defend are&a important to the entire western Pacific defense system would de elite defense system would do a Chinese Communist signature on a cease-fire Agreement. _ m Formosa and the Pescadores, however, are considered vital to the American defense system in the western Pacific. That is why the administration has asked the senate to commit the U. 8. to defend Formosa and the Pescadores, and has not asked for any commitment to fight for

SYNOPSIS Dr. Fred Beier dad come from St. Louts to the rural community of j*mi- I mngg. Missouri, where he hoped to (lad peace in the quiet countryside. And he had found it and contentment, too, serving as the little town's only physician. He was happy in an old-fashioned bouse with Katie, his wife, an unpretentious young matron, who knew very well that many a woman cast a covetous eye upon her Fred. CHAPTER TWO DR. BEIER reached for the thermometer. "Good!” he Said, after looking at It. “I think she’s well enough for me to take her to the hospital. I want to make some tests there.” "Oh, Doctor . . breathed the mother. At her tone, the child’s face began to pucker. — Fred muttered something below his breath. “You folks built me a hospital so I coukl care for patients, didn’t you?” he demanded. The Beckwiths had actively supported the project. '1 make house calls when the patient cannot be moved; hut Dodie here ... I’m going to wrap her up and take her back with me. Keep her there a couple of days while 1 make some tests.” "f d want to go with you," said Mrs. Beckwith, quickly, anxiously. “You can go to, but you can't stay. Til have to put her in the ward with the Ramsey child—she’s got a broken leg to traction, you know—and if I’d let you stay with Dodie, Mrs. Ramsey would want to come to, too. I Just couldn't take it, Mrs. Beckwith!" He lifted rueful eyes to the woman on the far side of the bed. He knew well enough that those two women had a long-standing feud, based on club quarrels and church supper rivalry. "I don’t know as I want Dodie to the same room as that Ramsey •* "Now, Mrs. Beckwith! We are going to have to look at it this way; the Ramsey child can learn a few things from Dodie, maybe. But if you want to come and see Dodie settled, that’s fine. In fact, you may bring her in. I’ve a couple of other places to stop—so bring her to about ten, will you V "I’m hospital kick!” said Dodie with satisfaction. Fred’s hand patted her thin shank, as he stood up. •'Can I use your phone?" he asked. "Huggins had fits the last time I sent a patient to without asking her.” The father led him_ out of the bedroom. “Is the baby worse, Doc?” he asked anxiously. Fred looked down at the small worried man. He was of the reody

the Tachens, Quemoy and the other offshore islands. The new Eisenhower plan apparently is a bitter pill for Chiang Kai-Shek to swallow. Withdrawal from the outmost islands would hurt Nationalist pride and possibly the morale of Nationalist troops. Formosa also would lose whatever screening or protective benefit it gets now from the offshore islands. . Public statements by Mr. Elsenhower and secretary of state John Foster Dalles apparently have been designed to downgrade the importance of these islands—not only in the eyes of the American congress and people, but also in the eyes of Chiang and those on Formosa ,• The new strategic concept was “leaked" after Dulles and Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of C^ a si,. briered a dozen congressmen for 90 minutes Thursday morning at the state department. The congressmen left the briefing with the idea that within a day or so President Eisenhower hopes to be in a position to ask the senate to give him authority to use American ships and planes

sort whom his mother would have described as "not man enough to fill his pants.” “Dodie’s not worse," he said quietly. "Nor is she a baby. But she is terribly spoiled, and that isn’t what the kid needs just now. If you love her, you’ll give her a chance —” “Love her! Lord, Doc, if anything happened to that kid It would kill her mother and me!” "Be hard on Dodie, too,” said Fred, dryly, lifting the phone. "Huggins?” he said into it. “I’m sending Dolores Beckwith to you this morning—a cute tonsilitis, complicated by doting parents. Put her to bed. No visitors. Anything come up? Good. I’B see you.” So began Dr. Frederic Beier’s day In the little prairie town of Jennings. He would make his visits, calling at the fine homes and the poor ones alike, bringing to each of them his skill and his good humor. Now as he drove through the town, a familiar voice bailed him. He jerked, and pulled the car to the curb, smiling sheepishly. — “Day dreaming," he confessed to the smiling woman on the sidewalk. "Good morning, "Fannie,” he: said formally to the boxer who was endeavoring to climb into his car. “How are you, Linda?” he asked, a soft patina of affection shining upon the way he spoke her name. She put her hand on the car door which Ffred had opened so that he might scratch Fannie behind her ear. He purposely kept his eyes on the dog’s ugly face, his attention on the animal, lest he feel too entirely the pleasure which always swept him when he was with Linda Kyle. He liked the slender, dark young woman so much! Too much. There was a richness about that feeling which should have been denied to both of them, which was denied. “Are you very busy, Fred?" she asked now. Linda Kyle’s husband was called the richest man in the Valley; Linda was certainly their best-dressed woman. This morning she wore a boxy jacket of gray tweed, topping a pencil-slim, light brown flannel skirt. Her gloves were df russet leather, the cuffs wrinkled Into gauntlets; the collar of the coat stood up behind her throat, her lovely face . . . . Fred coughed. “What do you want now, Linda?" he asked softly. Do I ask for something every time I see you ?” "Not every time.” lli3 eyes smiled into bets.

Craig has proclaimed February as heart month in Indiana and called upon all citizens to cooperate with the heart foundation and fund eamptrignrHighway Death Toll Reported Reduced INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —State police reported today that a 37 per cent reduction In Indiana highway fatalities was recorded for the first 16 days of 19555 despite a period oi ice and snow. Supt. Frank A, Jessup said 29 persons were killed between Jan. 11 and 16, compared to 46 killed ■in the same period a year ago. Seven of the 1055 deaths were in smashup 3 due to ice or snow.

“Itryour fault You should say »o, then I’d stop bothering you.” “Maybe 1 don’t want you to stop.” Hls Ups were clean-marked, and he had away of closing them neatly upon final consonants. Linda’s eyes never left his face. “What is it this time?” he asked gently. “Oh! Well—do you know the Nienabers?” He took the name from her Ups and pronounced it to the proper German fashion. “No ... I don’t think so.” “They’re d.p.’s, caring for the Godfrey place.” The Godfreys, as of course Fred knew, owned a smallish fruit farm in the Valley; Clarence wrote sporadically for the movies, and so was more of an absentee farmer than a resident one. Fred had known that someone was living on their place. "No," he told Linda, "I don’t know the Nienabers. I don’t go out that way, often." "Is Mirandy still pursuing you?” she teased. “Maybe I only imagine her interest But my imagination is so vivid that I avoid her if and when I can." -f “To the extent that you won’t drive past iter gate?" “Unless I am called. Tbs Godfrey# have not called me. Nor their tenants. As for Mirandy—" Linda’s laugh was lovely. "FAr and away our leading ‘character,* ” she assured Fred. “She has no shame!" cried Fred heatedly. “Do you know what she did the other night? With Katie standing right beside me ?" “I hope you’re going to'tell me." “It’s incredible —but I shall tell you. She came up to us—lt was at the Chamber of Commerce dinner—she was almost-wearing a green dress, with a heavy concha belt—and she said in that loud, brassy voice of hers, ‘Fred, you Utterly fascinate me!’’ "And what did you answer?” Linda’s eyes sparkled with laughter. - "What could I answer? Then she asked Katie if she minded her being fascinated by me.” "And Katie . . ." "Oh, she said something about being used to it." “Well, good for Katie!” ”1 don’t think she was paying your sex any compliment!" said j Fred crisply, stealing a look at his I watch.
