(Bditor*s note: It is with some apprehension and humility that this task is approached. ’When a review of past editorials is made, one learns that illustrious editors of the past have established a high standard which we shall find difficult to equal. In fact, we can only hope to challenge your thinking with some ideas which will lead to improving our town and our community. It is hoped that you will bear with us, perhaps disagree with some of our contentions; yet, if we can stimulate some worthwhile and constructive criticisms, than and only then. will we feel that this obliga- » tion has been fulfilled.) 0 0 — Let the kiddies enjoy the rides today!

Pony League and Little League all have played their opening games to good-size crowds. IP you like baseball, you should plan to attend these almost nightly events at Worth man Field and Homestead Field. You’ll get many thrills and usually when the crowds are large the little guys play their best. —-0- 0 Tomorrow provides each of us with the opportunity to attend the “church of our choice.” It should ever be uppermost. In our minds that the very least which we can contribute to our church is our presence and presents. Excellent attendance continues to be the general rule at all our churches and it is incumbent upon each of us to see that it continues. We have fine churches and capable pastors so let us give them all our support! . —a- —b—The highways will be filled with "Sunday drivers”; take care that you and yours do not become involved in any of those accidents that are described as "errors in judgment.” It is definite that most accidents are avoidable and we cannot permit ourselves to become in "raoing,” “cutting in.” "tailgating” et ceters. Don’t get angry, take your time, enjoy the afternoon spent with your families and friends. Most important of all. get home safely, —-0- —o—— Due to the fact that many ofr our children have been in Bible School these days, we need to be even more cautious in our local driving. All schools are now in the summer vacation period, more bikes are being ridden and more children are darting into the streets; so it behooves each of us t.o .drive wore slftwly «nd, more carefully.

CHAPTER 20 THE champagne did seem to put Mrs. Featherstone into a better humor. As she dressed, Vai could hear her employer chattering gaily to Dirk through the slightly opened communicating door of the bathroom. "If it wasn’t for that man, I might even come to the ball myself tonight. As an onlooker, of course. 1 don’t suppose anyone would want to dance with an old woman like me.” "Nonsense, Aunt May. I shouldn’t mind shoving you around the floor once or twice,” Dirk laughed easily back at her. She bridled and said, "I must say vour costume is original, what JDsjO of it. How ever did you think it up?” “Simple, py dear. J merely took the curtains down off the porthule, tied the cord of my dressing gown about my middle, combed my hair down, put R iband About it, and presto—a brilliant reproduction of a Roman slave." “You’d better hurry and come in for that drink, Vai," Dirk called. “Or Aunt May will have, polished off the whole battle/’ “Now Dirk, you bad boy, you know I've had only pne tiny glass, well, maybe one and a half . . “Oy one and three quarters, or at least four,” Dirk interrupted, laughing. “For heaven’s sake, hurry, Vai." “I’m coming." . Mrs. Feattierstone was raising a glass of champagne to her lips, but the glass never reached her lips. “What on earth do you think you’re doing in that costume, Nurse?” she rapped out sharply. “Dirk—Mr. Hanson loaned me his dress suit." "Well, of all the—" "Come now. Aunt May, don’t spoil it," Dirk interrupted easily. "It Yas I who insisted Vai borrow my tails. I said she'd* look wonderful in them, and she does, doesn’t she?"

Say Vai looks nice.” 1 “I scarcely think it a ladylike . costume—and especially not suit- > able for a nurse to wear,” she said r finally. . —-— —— *» Vai flushed. “I'm sorry, Mrs. j Featherstone. I’ll change. And if you’d prefer I didn’t go to the , dance tonight —" ’ “Nonsense,” Dirk broke in. And i when Mrs. Featherstone merely grunted, he laughed and added, “Come along, Vai, or they’ll have ; stopped serving." As they neared the dining room she was thinking suddenly, Bruce, what will he think ? Will he think the costume "unladylike,” or even brazen ? A small round of applause greeted Dirk's and Vai’s appearance, which had greeted other passengers whose costumes had been striking or unusual. As they entered, Bruce had turned and looked at them; then abruptly he had turned his back on them. He didn’t join in the friendly laughter or the. applause. Dirk pushed her forward toward their table. “What’s the matter,: my dear? You look as though! you’d seen a ghost. Smile nicely at: the ladies and gentlemen.” Vai forced a smile, but she was trembling as she sank down into: the chair the steward was holding out for her. “I’m —I suppose Tm self-conscious.” "You haven’t any need to be. I don't flatter myself I earned that applause. It’s obvious our fellow-, passengers approve of you." There was a pause. "I think I understand,” he said quietly. "I—l suppose I was silly to wear your suit Perhaps it does make me a little conspicuous.” “Nonsense! Look around at some of the others. Does it matter what one person thinks ? And then it may be because they are jeidous.” She tried to misinterpret his remark. br pemMoa « Araloa Book*. DMribu

i "But why should Mrs. Featherstone be jealous of me?” He smiled. "Os course we’re talk- ■ ing of Aunt May, aren’t we? It’s only human nature to resent the beauty one no longer possesses. Poor dear Aunt May, I can understand just how she feels.” "I do wish she’d get out of bed. I’m sure if she lay in a deck chair, the change and the air would do her good. She can’t seriously think Bruce would do her any harm after all this time." He smiled. "Os course she doesn’t But she’s a stubborn old dear and once she’s said a thing She’ll stick to it if it kills her.” “I suppose she was like that about her daughter and Bruce,” she said slowly. He nodded. "But I think she would have come round in the end. her appeased.” She didn't know what to think of that remark of his, but she reminded herself it was none of her business. Directly after dinner she went up to see how Mrs. Featherstone was, but the door was locked. She knocked and called, “May I come in, Mrs. Featherstone? Are you all right?” “Os course I’m all right,” her employee’s voice answered irritably. “Go away, Nurse. Run along and dance, dance, dance . . . " Vai rattled the doorknob. “Please let me come in, Mrs. Featherstone. There may be something I can do for you." “No, no, go away! And don’t come near me again tonight.. I don’t want to see you.” Vai was still standing there, worried and undecided, when the cabin steward came down the passage and paused. "i shouldn’t worry about her any more tonight, Miss Alison.

Ike's Illness 01 Concern To World World Newspapers Headline Illness LONDON (UP)—-President Eisenhower's illness snatched the headlines away from other national and international events in the newspapers of western Europe today. In Moscow, too, tt was Mg news. Government and diplomatic officials tn the capitals of western Europe, fearful of the possible effects of a prolonged illness on American and western policy, maintained close contact with their representatives in Washington. At No. 10 Downing Street, an official said prime minister Anthony Eden had inquired about Mr. Elsenhower’s condition and had expressed his sympathy and beat wishes for recovery. German chancellor Konrad Adenauer expressed Itis "deep sorrow" at hearing of the President’s attack. Adenauer, before leaving for the United States Friday, said he believed it was only a “slight indisposition” and that he did not believe it would interfere with his scheduled talks with Mr. Eisenhower. Mr. Eisenhower’s illness was the No. 1 news item of the day through out most of Europe. It pushed the war in Algeria out of the top headlines in the French press, tt was bannered in publications in London. Copenhagen. Amsterdam and other west European capitals. The Russian people were told of the President’s illness by the of- . ficial Soviet news agency Tass. In , a Washington dispatch, the agency reported Mr. Eisenhower had been , taken to a hospital suffering from “stomach trouble and a headache." Eight - column headlines in London said “Ike Back in Hospital'* of “Ike’s Heart Expert Called.” In Copenhagen, the Dagens Nyheder said “Shock in U.S.A.; Eisenhower 111 Again.” In Amsterdam. the Telegraf said “How will his heart react?” In Europe, as in the United States, a big question was will Mr. Eisenhower run for president again.

Television Impact On Baseball Interesting
By WILLIAM EWALD 'NEW YORK (UP) — You get a free seat in the ball park when you buy a TV set But some time in the future that seat may be yanked out from under you. Baseball may be forced to do the yanking. Major league baseball can not live without its roots, the minor leagues. And Its roots are shriveling. There are only 27 minor loops left now, the lowest number since 1945, a war year. Many observers blame TV., The minors say that the telecasts of major league games are invading their territory and driving their fans away. Major league games are supposed to be limited . to a 50-mile broadcast area, but this is difficult to enforce. Then, too, there is the CBS-TV “Game of the Week.” Seven major league teams are co-operating on this series which is beamed over 175 stations. All of this baseball in the living room, say the critics, is keeping . fans out of the parks. However, baseball is trapped in , a tricky situation —the club owners can not meet together to iron out I the problem and come up with an enforceable solution. Baseball Ilves in fear of the big stick of the antitrust division of the justice de- , partment. ” What’s the answer? Well, some say the only course , left is pay-as-you-go TV. Under this plan, the fan might drop, say, ■ 50 cents into a box on his TV set. A recent survey taken by a public , relations firm employed by organ!- . zed baseball showed that “a majo- ( rity” of fans in 13 Eastern states ! would support such a plan. The fight game already has proved that the rewards from closed circuit TV in theaters can , be substantial. The Rocky Marciano - Don Cockell fight, for example, pulled in {325,000 in a 58 city network. And that fight was ' a lukewarm attraction. The Marciano-Archie Moore bout 1 of last September did considerably better. It was witnessed in 92 1 cities by fans who shelled out - some IM million dollars. Figure analysts of baseball calculate that the national pastime should draw an average of 100,000 customers per pay - as - you - see

game. At 50 cents a head, that figures out. to a cool $3,850,000 per 77 home games each season. The profits from all this, say the advocates of toll TV, would not only benefit the majors, but the minors as well, sfrme of the shekels could be siphoned off to bolster the sagging bush loops. ‘lt might also benefit the players. As things stand now, the players’ pension fund will be made up of 60 per cent of the radio and TV receipts from the World Series and All-Star games after 1956, but the fund draws nothing from regularly scheduled games. The increased loot from toll TV might go toward fattening that fund. However, there Is considerable opposition to TV on the.pay-a*-you-see plan. It’s quite possible that many fans would let out a pretty fair bellow if free TV baseball were taken away. In some homes, for example, two TV sets have been installed just so the man of the house can watch his fights and baseball in peace. - And the stations that now telecast baseball would object pretty | loudly, too. Baseball provides a good share .of the revenue for some stations, many of them independent. They are prime sponsor bait—night games and Sunday afternoon games cut into network audiences. The networks have an investment in TV, too. CBS with its “Game of the Week” and NBC with its annual telecasts of the World Series and All-Star games. It was last World Series, you may remember, that NBC invested a considerable sum In experimenting with baseball in color. In recent weeks, the future of baseball on TV .cropped up in hearings of the senate committee on interstate and foreign commerce. Edwin Johnson, governor of Colorado and former president of the Western League, pointed out that baseball is at a crossroads. “The day is rapidly approaching,” said Johnson, “when the American public will be confronted with one of two choices—either to pay for the viewing of major sporting events or go without viewing such events in the convenience of their homes."
HOPEFUL OF < font la red from race Ow> Sen. William F. Knowiand (R---i Calf.) reserved comment untH fun- • ther details were known. Knowi land withdrew as a possible cani didate for the Republican preeiden- ' tial notulfiation ajfer the President . announced Feb. 29 that he would • seek re-election. Sen. Mike Mansfied (D-Mont.) said he hoped that the country would remain calm. “He is the President of the American people and not of any political party,” Mansfield said. “We all hope, regardless of party * that he will be back at his desk soon.” ) MAJOR SURGERY " (Continued from i-a*e One) Inga by-pass around the obstruction in the ileum or small intestine. In such an operation, no section of the tube-like ileum is actually removed. Instead, the surgeon i cuts openings both above and below the obstruction and sutures ; -them together. In this way a i clear passageway Is restored and the affected part of the ileum no . longer is used, although tt re- ~ mains in the body. This would explain why the of- , ficial bulletin said the operation “relieved” rather than removed i the obstruction. It is possible, in I some cases, to remove a diseased i section of. the ileum rather than by-pass it.
