Little three-year-old Mark Cottingham of Three Rivers, Mich., wandered, away from home and apparently crawled into a car tp rest or play. He was found dead, several hours later and authorities figured he had been dead about three hours. The temperature in the parked car was 140 and the coroner called it suffocation. 0 0 The White Sox are showing the Eastern teams. New York, Boston and Cleveland that they are tn earnest in their contest for the American League championahip, even it not picked early by the sports writers and still a 5 to 2 bet on the Las Vegas board. When they can visit their opponents and show what they can do, they just have to be figured to be in the fight and in a big way. O 0 Hundreds of Adams county folks, young and old are attending the first 4-H fair to be held at the new 4-H fair grounds at Monroe.

think it was an unusual session. Anyway let’s get a view of the measures before declaring them 100% legislation that will make us all happy and prosperous. f Tragedy visited the town of Monroe Tuesday afternoon and filled all of our hearts with sorrow. Marion McKean, electrician and fanner was electrocuted as he was connecting a light line at the 4-H fair grounds. McKean leaves a widow, and five children. The sorrowful death should be a warning to all of us, especially those who are amateurs in the electrical field, not to take chances with high voltage wires. The McKean death was indeed a tragedy and our sympathy and condolence go to the widow and the children. 0 o>— Because of the many rumors and rumblings, following the fire at the city power plant recently, explanation in Tuesday’s Daily Democrat by Lester Pettibone, head erf the light department, is enlightening. We always have argued that the people are entitled to know more about the operation of municipal plants, including personnel, expenditures and who has what responsibility. In a year's time thousands of dollars are spent in the operation of a utility and the light and water departments belong to the people. o—o Everett Hutker, traffic manager at the Decatur plant of Central Soya, has been elected president of the Decatur school board. ,We congratulate the board on its selection and we are sure that the affairs 61 the school city will be in capable hands, as that group proceeds -to complete construction of a new elementary school and lay plans for a second new building. Other members of the board who share the 1955-56 responsibilities ire George Helm, Decatur grocery store owner and Harry “Jack” Irwin, of the EngleIrwin StMdebaker-Packard agen1 cy.

Hiroshima Rebuilt 10 Years Alter A-Bomb

(Editor’s note: What happens to humans being who have been ex posed to the atom bomb and live? What if any effect does It have on the children they bear? These are some of the vital questions being tackled by the atom bomb ‘casualty commission located on a hill overlooking atom bombed Hiroshima. The following article, last of a series, tells the story of what this unique organiration of experts has found out and thee difficult task it faces ahead.) By KENNETH ISHII HIROSHIMA- (INS) —Atop a hill overlooking Hiroshima, 800 Dedicated men and women are trying to find out exactly what happens to human beings who have been exposed to an atomic bomb and live. These are the scientists, doctors, nurses,and other experts and administrative personnel of the atom bomb casualty commission charged with an assignment vital to man’s fate should an atomic war ever break loose. Assisted by a companion organization in Nagasaki, the ABCC has amassed a mountain of data on some 8,000 survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ten years ago. Many of the answers are still to be found, and according to Dr. Robert H. Holmes. ABCC director, no one knows exactly how long the work of the ABCC must continue. But since the unique program was launched after World War 11, these are the two main findings the ABCC has been able to report: 1. No. abnormal genetric effects have thus far been determined in first generation offspring of parents exposed to the atomic bomb’s radiation. 2. There has beeji an increase in the incidence of leukemia and cataracts: but no blindness among persons exposed to atomic radiation. In September 1945, a special V. S. committee investigated effects of the two atomic bomb explosions over Japan and recommended to President Truman that a commission be set up to study survivors for possible late effects due to radiation exposure. Housed in a silver red quonset type building overlooking Hiroshima, ABCC is run, jointly by the Japanese welfare ministry. Dr. Holmes told International News Service that ABCC's data is “available to any scientific organization in the world.” ABCC. he said, has no classified documents, and.-all are available for the asking, even to the Russians. An average of 75 A-bomb survivors are brought daily to the hill top research center in ABCCfurnished transportation for continuing examination or treatment. “We try to have a patient come in for a checkup at least once a Tear. But there is no time limit. If necessary we have them come in more frequently,” Holmes said. Checkups are thorough and in-

elude extensive laboratory work. All data Is analysed, filed away but readily available to check against subsequent reports. But despite almost ten years of laborious research, Drt Holmes stressed, ‘We cannot make any sweeping dogmatic statements. Our ' work requlrbs patient plodding.” Holmes explained: "No scientist familiar with genetics doubts radiation will produce mutations. And this potentiality undoubtedly exist in the surviving population of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is most probable that these mutations, when they occur, will be widely diluted in succeeding generations.” Radiation, effects on fertility is another issue encompassed in ABCC’s program. Here again. Dr. Holmes cautioned. it is- not possible to arrive at sweeping conclusions on the basis of ABCC’s records of some 2,700 women exposed to radiation within a 2,200 ward radius from the blast center and who later bore children. All that can be said at present, the ABCC director declared, is that such infertility as resulted following exposure was a temporary problem and that as the individual’s health improved, fertility was regained. Actually most of the 78,000 plus deaths in Hiroshima were the result of the tremendous pressure waves and thermal heat of. the more than half a million degree fahrenheit “miniature sun" created by tthe bomb 1 10,000th of a second after it exploded. Studies indicate only 15 per cent died of radiation and most of these deaths occurred between the third and sixth week after thC explosion. On the other hand some who suffei-ed from all three effects of the bomb-blast, heat and radia-tion-are leading apparently normal, healthy lives today. Another part of,ABCC’s program is the training of Japanese doctors. Today there are 27 in residency. Some have already been sent to the t T . S. for further training and others will follow. “The ABCC study on the human population,” Holmes said, "is the only one of Its kind being conducted. and it is also the largest study known to have been undertaken on genetics as it relates to human beings.’’. He concluded: "We cannot say how long our program will continue. There is still a lot of work to be dne. Our attitude is one of patient observation. “But what we do find, we will report to the world without restriction.” Increase Likely In Corn Crop Estimate WASHINGTON (INS) All signs point to a probable increase in the 1955 corn crop estimate when the new general report is made next
