It will be a busy time but it is a ” Sign of a prosperous city, with everyone working together to make it still better. Decatur merchants are planning some money saving events for shoppers of this area and almost every industry is operating at full strength. Decatur Churches have been swollen to the doors with attendance the last several weeks and everyone seems to be pitching in to keep Decatur the best small city in Indiana. 0 0 The state police are making a special effort right now to get thosewho violate traffic laws and then dash away at 100 miles an hour speed, thinking the police will not endanger others on the highways by trying to catch them. The chief of the department has “lowered the boom” by giving orders to stop them by whatever means is deemed necessary. If they pick up a few and make the punishment severe enough they will atop niost of it. Drivers should—understand that when police give calls to halt, they mean just that and wise ones will not require further proof. The high powered cars are not made for racing but for safety.

(INS) — Research of an Indiana University professor, financed by the American cancer society, has disclosed a new clue to the action of chemicals known to cause cancdf. Prof. Felix Haurowitz said the research indicates that in causing cancer, the chemicals may somehow alter the action of body cells which produce antibodies, the disease fighters in the blood. Thus some cancers start after the body’s defenses against them are weakened. The professor is an export on antibodies, which are large protein molecules of a type called gamma globulin. They attack di-sease-causing viruses and bacteria, and cause them to disintegrate, to clump together, or to become in -ert. • ■ Prof. Haurowitz planted atoms of radioactive sulfuc and carbon into molecules closely resembling the butter yellow dye which is known to cause liver cancer in rots. He then bound the dye molecules to large protein molecules and injected them into laboratory animals. Because of their radioactivity. Haurowitz could trace the dye molecules in tissues of the animals. He found that the dye went to antibody-producing cells such as those of the spleen, lymph nodes liver and bone marrow. Moreover, he discovered that these dyes stayed .. in. the cells for months—possibly indefinitely. When the cells were, taken apart. Haurowitz found the dye primarily in granules called mitochondria and miscrosomes. These granules are the power plants of the cell, and also may manufacture protein and other vital cell compounds. - Pastry Secret SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain (INS) —Bonifacio Tomas, a baker here, claims he has-invented a system whereby ordinary pastries can be kept fresh and tasty for months at room temperature. Tomas said lie won't let out His secret until he patents his invention in the U. S. or in England.
