Church attendance continue to stay at a record high in Decatur yesterday. 0 0 Decatur and Adams county fishermen took advantage of the warm and fair week-end and visited northern Indiana lakes. Until the last day of this month, it is legal in Indiana to take all kinds of fish. From April 30 until May 14, bass, pike and walleyes are protected. 0 0 If fair weather continues this week, it will be busy times for the farmers. Most of the' ground is ready for spring working. Decatur gardeners were busy over the week-end getting their garden plots ready tor vegetable planting. Local retailers reported a heavy run on all types of garden seeds the last few days. — fr— of prospective home builders visited the two open houses in Decatur Saturday and Sunday. Both bouses, one the Scotsman **2oo" and the other U. S. Steel’s Bride’s House of 1955, are the latest in modern living. Both houses are priced at under 315,000. Indications are that 1955 will be a busy year tn the Decatur area for builders. 0 o Two weeks front Tuesday is Primary Election day in Decatur. Democrats will select one of three men who aspire to be the party’s standard bearer for Mayor in the November election. The candidates are Boyd Rayer, Robert Cole and Bernard Clark. All three are native Decatnrites and we believe that any of the three would make an excellent mayor. The candidates so far have worked hard, all of them making house-to-house visits tor votes, and to date there has been no mud sftnging. In their house-to-house visits all three have discussed their ideas of municipal ’ government The primary winner should have an excellent chance next November. o—-o0 —-o Ex-President Harry Truman made a visit to Washington the past few days. It was his third or fourth return visit since he left the White House. One of Mr. Truman’s first actions as President,

Apparently the Great Ono now in the White House is too busy to otter the little courtesy to Mr. Truman. Perhaps he is too busy chasing the squirrels off the White House putting green. 0 o An important meeting for farmers, especially those who raise hogs, beef cattle or have dairy herds, will be held Tuesday night at Adams Central school. The brucellosis control program will be explained. Brucellosis in animals is the same as undulent fever in humans. The animals and their bi-prdducts can transmit the disease to humans. County agent Leo Seltenright hopes that the control program can be started here immediately so that the' disease will not become an epidemic. Milk and other dairy product distributors refuse to buy from an area where brucellosis is predominant, and if the disease spreads in Adams county, it could be not only serious to humans but could also mean a big financial loss to farmers of this area. Experts vn the control program will be on hand at Adams Central to explain control methods. 0- 0 — j . Cecil "Zeke” Young, wellknown and highly respected Auburn high school athletic coach for more than 25 years is recovering from a serious eye operation at St. Joseph's hospital, Fort Wayne. "Zeke" has indicated that he will not take an active part in the coaching of, any sports any more. He has, for a good many years, coached basketball, football, and baseball and sas built the athletic department of Auburn high school into one of the best in northern Indiana. He always has coached his teams to play every game as if it were a title game. He believes in perfection in athletics and in life. The popular Young will be missed both as a coach and as a topnotch competitor, in high school circles. His thousands of Hoosier friends wish him a speedy recovery from his illness. ’ “ 4

Tobe knew she had been going to have a baby, thought she had lost IL She began slowly to improve, but her recovery took almost six years. Regina said, "She’s well now, but if she were to have a shock ’t would be fatal. She would be driven back again—for good. You 3ee?" Both McKee and Susan did. Regina said, “The inspector and you and Jim are the only ones I’ve told, Susan. The inspector is going to do everything possible to keep it from coming out 1 told Jim tonight when I—set him free.** "Just one more question, Mrs. Pelham. You were approached for money!" "By Henry, yes." “That 55,000 check you gave him the other night?" “Yes.” Two months after Roger died Regina had received a blackmailing letter. Her secret would remain secret if—she had paid $15,000 in three $5,000 checks made out to bearer, and sent them to John Roth. General Delivery, New York. Roth was a false name, of course. A year later she paid another $15,000—535,000 in aIL She had destroyed the cancelled checks. Her voice trailed away. She was exhausted. Before they left the room she was asleep. Closing the door, Susan said, “Is Henry Trout in the house, inspector!" "Henry Trout is dead, Miss Dwight.’’ Susan followed him downstairs. Amy Redgate was in the lower hall, and two policemen. Amy was sitting on the blue sofa. A rifle lay across the table in the bay. McKee went over to Amy. He said, “Miss Redgate, have you anything to say! . . . No! You were caught entering this house with that rifle a short time ago. You knew about Regina Pelham's will, didn’t you!” An inward convulsion shook the thick body. Except for that. Amy might have been deaf and dumb. The doors of the living-room were closed. McKee went over and rolled one of them back. The whole room was visible. Dave Redgate was in there. He was seated th a wing chair, dressed in a dark suit. There were men in uniform there, too, and the Yonkers district attorney. Horton looked at McKee. The Scotsman nodded. He went across to the desk and used keys Regina had given him. He .unlocked a drawer, opened It, took out a cash box, opened that and withdrew a long envelope. It was Regina’s will It had been drawn six months after Roger's death. McKee was talking. Susan listened in a dream. Regina had left the money Hal

There were no strings attached to it. McKee finished. A pencil stopped scratching. One of the policemen was a stenographer. The doctor said in a calm voice, “I’d like to say this. If Roger had lived he would, in your parlance, have gone insane. He was better out of it As for those others— Brodsky and the Fenn woman—they were—shall we say, expendable!” Horton said, "And Henry Trout! You killed Henry Trout and buried his body in the tunnel below the cliff?" "Yea." "First removing Trout’s hat and coat?" * "That’s right.- You found the body?” “Yes, earlier tonight." "1 was afraid of it. He wasn't deep enough—but 1 was pressed for time.’* He gave the details in that same unemotional tone. He had entered Trout’s room at the inn after Regina had gone, pretending to be in search of her. Trout was about to call a cab, Dave Redgate said he’d give him a lift down the hill. At the top of the cliff near the little park he pretended he couldn’t get down the hill In the car, led Trout to the edge of the cliff on a pretext of showing him the way to the steps and so down to Broadway, and hit him with a tire iron. Trout’s body fell to the shelf of rock in front of the cove below. The doctor dragged him into the cave, and buried him in a shallow grave, first removing his hat and coat. On his way home the doctor had entered the house—this house, Susan thought numbly — through the celldr door. He bad placed , the button from Trout’s coat where it was found. It was no ; trick to slip up to Mrs. Casserly’s room and extract the diary. There was nothing of importance In it i He looked at McKee. "I didn't want you to hear her story the other day but as she was going to i you anyhow, I had to let it come I out" i * Unfortunately his sister, Amy, i had followed him that night and [ Amy knew. It was Amy who shot r him through the open window after , he got home in an attempt to im- , mobilize turn, keep him from doing ( any further harm. In the small i hours of the morning he had placed . the laundry slip close to where . Amy had stood. "My wound had bled a little, but not much." He , paused and looked at McKee."You i suspected the laundry bill and the button?" “Yes, doctor. They were too opportune, too pat, taken in conjunction with other circumstances.

coat after you got rid of Trout?" "in the trunk of my car." Horton was impatient, wanted to get on. “And tonight when you thought the police were gone and the coast was clear you put on Trout’s hat and coat and came over here and cut the telephone wires. You then attracted Miss Dwight’s attention by throwing gravel up at the window of Mrs. Pelham’s bedroom because you wanted Miss Dwight as a witness to the return of Henry Trout. Your plan was to kill Mrs. Pelham, masquerading as Henry Trout, and then to have Trout disappear—for good." The doctor made no attempt at denial. “It’s too bad. 1 could have done a lot of good with that money. 1 have ideas that have never been touched. I had plans—" Susan swayed on her feet, fighting dizziness. That was the man they nad known so long and trusted and loved. Redgate stood. There was no change in his lace, his voice. "Shall we go ?” A man closed in on either side of him. In the hail Amy Redgate jumped up and screamed. Susan ran and put her arms around her. "Don’t, Amy, don’t.” • • • It was snowing out. At 9 o’clock the next morning Susan put coffee on in the kitchen and began preparing two trays. Amy Redgate was asleep upstairs. She had collapsed after the doctor was taken , away and Parr had come and given her a hypodermic. Regina was asleep, too. Susan dreaded their waking. She was very tired. Everything was over and everyone was i gone. She had talked to Barry on the I phone halt an hour earlier, and Barry wouldn't be coming back again soon. She couldn't be Barry's , wife feeling as she felt about Jim , Andrus. I She had finished the trays and ; was drinking a cup of coffee at the i window when there was a step in i the dining room; the doors were no i longer locked. It was Jim Andrus. He stood in the doorway looking ; at her. He was formal, remote. • "Good morning, Susan. How is Rei gina?" “Still sleeping." “Does she know about Red- , gate?” \ I “Not yet." Andrus said, "I came to say ■ goodby. Say it for me to Regina, will you. I’ll write her.” “I will. Good by, Jim." * l “Good by, Susan." I Susan watched him turn, frozen, i‘ immobile. He would go and that I would be the end of it. She would s never see him again. She i bear it . . . Her own voice startled i her. “Jim.” “Yes.” “I called Barry a little while ago. 1 told him I couldn’t marry him.” (To Be Continued,)

Fight Against Polio Is Long And Uphill Battle

(Editor’s note: This is the second of four articles describing the long, uphill and dramatic battle against polio, which was climaxed by the announcement the Salk vaccine is safe and effective.) By EDWIN DIAMOND ANN ARBuk, Mich. (INS) — In June, 1918. New York newspapers began the report on what they called a “strange epidemic” which already had claimed 14 lives. Doctors attributed the epidemic to “the prolonged damp weather of this spring and early summer.’’ Before the summer of 1916 was over, some 27,000 persons—mostly children — in the northeastern United States were crippled by polio. .More than 8,000 of them died. The heaviest tolls were recorded in New York. City: 2.000 dead, 7,000 others felted, many of them crippled for life. America had experienced its first large-scale polio epidemic. Three elements stood out significantly, but were unappreciated at the time. First, the disease, which has been called “infantile paralysis” struck young children, teen-agers and adults. Second, the cases followed no intelligible pattern of geography or family. Os two brothers sharing the same room, eating at the same table and going to the same school, one would come down with polio and not tlie other. Third, of somb 350 children who lived with their families on appropriately named Barren Island in Jamaica Bay, NOT one contacted polio. And what distinguished Barren Island from the rest of New York? It was a veritable cesspool, with flies and rats everywhere, no sewage system and no garbage collection. With no public water supply the Barren Islanders got their drinking water from shallow wells. And yet—not one case of polio. The pieces of the puzzle were there, but the theory that would put them together in a coherent whole had not yet been evolved. A first step that was to figure in the eventual solution of the puzzle had been taken in 1909. In that year. Dr. Karl- LandSteiner, an Austrian, discovered the polio virus. He also showed that monkeys could be infected with it. It was the first “skirmish” victory : science had a laboratory animal it could use to study polio. A word about “viruses.”. Research has shown them to be different from bacteria. « Bacteria can grow independently and reproduce like higher forms of life. Viruses require the "atmosphere” of cell tissue in order to grow. They are parasites, taking over the cell's natural mechanisms and choking them off. This is the real viciousness of polio. It attacks the cells of the '•entral nervous system and since this cell tissue can not regenerate itself, the areas of the body controlled by tlie virus-attacked cells j»e stricken permanently. Aitiiougn Dr. Landsteiner s findings were significant, no great progress was made in the polio battle for more than two decades. At late as 1937, experiments were tried with disappointing and even tragic results because science still lacked the basic knowledge on the virus’s course in the Jody. The mid-1930’s theory, briefly, was that the virus somehow got into the body, attached itself to nerve endings and followed the nerve fibers to the brain, where it flourished at the expense of the vital cells. So far so good, but the idea was advanced that the virus entered through the nasal passages. In 1936 and 1937, field trials were held in Toronto, Canada, and in Alabama. Some 10,000 children received spray to seal up their nostrils. It sealed up their nostrils — but that was all it accomplished. Then in 1938, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was founded by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Many years before, the vigorous and well-built Roosevelt, had been struck down by polio. With the aid of his law partner, Basil O'Connor. the foundation was organized "to lead, unify and direct” the polio fight. It immediately began underwriting research. The stage was now set for the fight to go forward. Work was begun on typing polio virus, since there were indications that more than one strain was active. It was found eventually that three main viruses families existed —Lansing, Leon and Brun-, hilde. The first got its name from Lansing, Mich., where the virus had been Isolated from the nerve cells of a young polio victim. ’ The second came from the name of a Los Angeles boy. Brunhilde was a rtiohkey in an eastern laboratory which supplied the third virus. Vaccine studies were revised to take into account the fact that an effective inoculation must protect agaiffst~ali three types bl polio.

♦The discovery of antibiotics gave researchers more freedom in their laboratories—there was no need for elaborale sterile procedures once tissue cultures got a squirt of antibiotic. The need for blodd plasma to treat combat troops for shock under war conditions led to the development of gamma globulin (GG). Using the "fractionating” method to break down blood into solid components, scientists incidentally found that GG contained a large share of antibodies. Between 1949 and 1952 the breakthrough on the polio front occurred and set the stage for a workable, safe ano effective vaccine. • The most important single achievement, was made in 1949 by Dr. John F. Enders, a bacteriologist at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Enders, a World War I naval flier, had for many years worked with infectious diseases, nota-, bly tpeasles and mumps. Together with two younger assistants, Dr. Thomas H. Weller, also of Harvard, and Dr. Frederick C. Robbins, now at Western (Reserve Medical School in Cleveland. Dr. Enders developed a method of successfuly growing polio virus in tissue culturee "slices" of cells composed of nonmervous system tissue. It was the first time science was bale to grow virus in such a manner. But the ease of recounting the spat masks its real importance. Consider what Dr. Enders’ work meant: 1. It upset the old theory that polio virus had a particular attraction to nerve cells alone (the idea behind the ill-fated nose spray tests). Dr. Enders’ achievement demonstrated the polio virus could grow in other cells. 2. It opened the way for a safe, relatively cheap and ample supply of pure vaccine — since vaccines can be made only from viruses. It was safe because there was now a way of growing the virus in non-neutral cells. Previously, any vaccine in nerve tissues brought with it the threat of encephalomyelitis (inflammation of the brain). Injecting a person with nerve tissue-produced vaccines might bring on an affliction as insidious as the one you are trying to prevent. Dr. Enders solved that problem. His work also made possible large-scale production of vaccine. By placing a tiny quantity of virus in hundreds Os test tubbs containing tissue cultures, a veritable vaccine production line can be set up. Viruses “feed" on cells and thus multiply. After fiye days in the tubes, the cells are destroyed,, but the viruses have reproduced in abundance. Meanwhile, at the University of ■ Pittsburgh, Dr. William Ammon, working with the war-developed Gamma Globulin, found that even the small amount of antibodies in GG gave some polio protection. In 1952, Drs; Dorothy Horstman of- Yale and David Bodian: of Johns Hopkins found that polio virus traveled in the bloodstreams of monkeys. This suggested that the virus could be met and repelled in the bloodstream by the disease-fighting antibodies before reaching the nerve tissue. Between 1948 and 1952. Drs. ■ Howard A. Howe and Isabel Morgan of Johns Hopkins demonsrtated that polio virus “killed’’ or “inactivated” with the chemical Formlin could stimulate antibodies production without provoke ing paralysis. At this point, a brilliant young scientist named Jonas E. Salk took over as director of the University of Pittsburgh's virus research laboratory and began building on this accumulation of knowledge. In less than two years he had developed a polio vaccine considered safe and effective enough to warrant the largest mass medical experiment in history. (Next: Dr. Salk and his vaccine.)

State Public School System Cost Rising FRONCH LICK, Ind. (INS) —The annual spring meeting of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce heard a warning Sunday that the cost of Indiana's public school system probably will rise to $175 million during the 1957-59 biennium. The warning came from W- W. Hill Jr., education analyst for the State Chamber. Hill pointed out that the $156 niitifem appropriated to schools by the 1955 legislature was $lO million more than originally recommended by the state budget committee and was $23 million more than voted by the 1953 legislature.
