Drawings were announced today for the annual Adams county sectional high school basketball tourney to start next Wednesday at Adams Central gymnasium. This year's tourney should be the best ever held. The teams are pretty evenly matched and interest was never at a higher pitch. The winner of the Adams Central sectional will play in the Fort Wayne regional tourney. 0 0 Highways in the county are starting to thaw out and the next few weeks will be the danger time for gravel roads. Heavy trucks should use the lighter constructed roads as little as is possible while the road-beds are soft If traffic is limited to lighter vehicles for the next few weeks, the precaution will save the county thousands of dollars in repair bills. ~ o 0 It appears that the constitutional amendment to lower the voting age In Indiana to 19 years has ’ been lost in the shuffle by the Indiana state senate.

Summer Is the Season For This Skin Disorder

By HERMAN IL BUNDESEN, MX LUPUS erythematosus and pantothenylol. Ever hear of either of them? That first tongue-twister is a skin disorder with which I am sure some of you are familiar. And if you know what lupus erythematosus can do then you’ll want to know what pantothenylol can do, too, because pantothenylol recently has been found helpful in treating this disfiguring condition. Scaling Patches If you are afflicted with lupus erythematosus you’ll have scaling patches of various sizes and shapes on your skin. In these areas, your skin is reddened. Often the rash appears on both cheeks, your chin and over the bridge of your nose, giving a butterfly-like appearance. But, believe me, it's not a pretty sight. Your face, neck and scalp are the first areas involved. If the disorder does hit your scalp, it might mean you’re going to lose some of your hair. Your hands and feet might be affected, too. Troublesome Symptom Itching often is a troublesome symptom. Frequently this disease leaves scars after the scaling patches have healed. Influenced by Sun While we don’t know what causes this disorder, we do know that the first attack frequently follows overexposure to the sun. And the majority of attacks seem to occur during the early summer months. This disease is three times mure common m women than in men. The women most frequent-

and soon the long-time dream will become a reality. Mr. McGeath has started a survey in Decatur to ascertain just what type of youth and adult programs will be of the most interest. By mid-summer the entire program should be in full swing. „ —0 0 The Indiana General Assembly is nearing the end of the constitutional length of time and so far the record isn’t what many observers would call good. Possibly the legislators can buckle down to business these last few days and come up with the proper legislation. This will not be accomplished, however, as long as the leaders battle for political benefits instead of benefits for the people. The Daily Democrat has received many requests the last several weeks to publish a daily TV schedule of the Fort Wayne and Waterloo stations. We appreciate the suggestions and starting Saturday the schedule for the current day and the following day will be published on the editorial page of this newspaper. In order that rural subscribers will have the week-end schedules, on, Fridays, we will publish the Friday night, Saturday and Sunday schedules. Because of limited space the schedule publication will be limited to the two northern Indiana television stations. Half of the automobile owners of the northern part of this county still are operating their motor vehicles with 1954 auto license plates. Os course you have until February 28 to comply with the law, but suppose everyone waits until the last day. There is a possibility that there bould be such a jam at the local auto license bureau that auto owners would have to.refrain from driving their cars for several days until they could secure their 1955 license tag. The local license branch management has extended its hours on the last two Thursdays this month and several requests have been issued for owners to get their plates. If you get in the last day's rush and are inconvenienced don’t say you havent* received plenty of reminders.

ly attacked are in the 30 to 40 age bracket. It seldom bothers children. Treating the Disorder An ointment containing two per cent pantothenylol is useful in treating this disorder. Pan-, tothenylol is related to one of the members of the B-complex family, pantothenic acid. Thirteen of 15 patients treated with this preparation showed marked improvement in their condition. Other Uses Incidentally, this preparation was also employed in other types of skin disturbances, such as skin inflammations, itching around the opening of the bowel, and inflammations due to sensitivity to various substances. Don’t, however, rely solely on pantothenylol if you are troubled with lupus erythematosus. Check for Infection Your doctor should make a careful search for any infection especially in your teeth, tonsils and sinuses. You must rest, avoid overwork and avoid exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet ray. Try to avoid going out in very cold or very hot weather. Don’t smoke excessively and avoid alcoholic drinks. QUESTION AND ANSWEB A. C. R.: What are the effects of benzedrine and thyroid tablets in reducing weight? Answer: Benzedrine helps reduce the appetite; thyroid speeds up the metabolism. Neither ot these preparations should be. taken except under the directions of the physician who will decide whether or not they are required.

CHURCH NEWS Union Chapel The theme of the message brought by the Rev. William Sniier at the Union Chapel church Wednesday night was “Making Life’s Supreme Discovery," The scriptural background is recorded in Psalm 119:57-84. “This ia a personal text from the life of the Psalmist. He has been thinking an his own ways and his testimonies to the Lord. “This is an answer to his spiritual discovery. As stated before the Psalmist thought on his own ways. ‘As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.’ We can think thoughts that elevate or thoughts Jiat degrade.. Right conduct will bring right thoughts and wrong conduct will Induce wrong thoughts. “Think on the question, where will you spend eternity! "Let tie think about our relationship to the church. What wouiu the church be like if every member of the church was like you and I? “As the psalmist thought about his way. let us also think about our relationship to the church. “We cannot merit our salvation on our own righteousness, but on the righteousness of God. “What made the psalmist think on his ways? Maybe death had entered the home. Maybe there had been a failure in business. Maybe there was an incompleteness of life. Maybe somebody had prayed for him. Maybe he came face to face with a great spiritual beauty. Yesterday he examined others, today he is examining himself. The world's standards may change, but Gpd’s standards never change. “At last perhaps the psalmist was beginning to realize the possibilities of God. We to can know the possibilities of God by a complete Surrender to him. “Have you made the supreme discovery of life?”
