They will have load:; of fun and adults can help make it a very enjoyable event for Decatur. o o ■ Stagnant pools of water can be found in our area and with the mosquito season upon us, look out. One wonders that such con* ditions continue to exist when we are in the midst of a polio season. It is not known that insects bred In stagnant pools are the carriers but wc should take every precaution. It appears that such pools could be eliminated with or no major effort. 0 0 “Don't bite the hand” is still a good axiom so Mr. Stassen takes leave from his post to enliven the conjectures on the Republican convention. No doubt Mr. Stassen has abilities but there must be some fire now for the smoke is much thicker. It is a good bet that there are others involved in the present maneuvering and the Republican convention could have some fireworks worthy of our American political traditions. ——-a -o A great race in the National league will keep fan interest at a high pitch for August and even into September. The "Yankee” league is still going through the motions with several trying to be crowned the best “also rans” of 1956. The annual "break-up-the-Yankees” club is in good voice, but how. about “build-up” of the others? We appreciate the fact that baseball is a business and often wonder that certain ath-

With the three major mills in the Gary area getting back to near-capacity basis, a month’s time is needed. These three mills produce about 15.0 million tons annually and it is estimated that 1.25 million tons were lost during the cooling-off, strike and regeneration periods. Despite the fact that union officials call the settlement non-infla-tionary, the various benefits will total about 50 cents per hour. Os course the price of steel will go Up and that Increase will be reflected in over-the-counter purchases Current estimates indicate a jump of *lO per ton. We are agreed that steel workers should have a good living but it appears that increased costs of living could absorb much of the raises granted by the industry. O o — “Rusip wants more trade with the United States” says Nation’s Business. It is further indicated that better trade relations with Russia will result when we lift restrictions on trading strategic materials. This is probably a new phase of the cold (propaganda) war and it is expected that Uncle Sam wilVcast a wary eye toward the present bait, however tempting it may be. To be‘sure, there are broad markets for alt but this new (renewed) economic strategy is as old a? Carthage. It is guessed that Russia is hurting for certain basic machinery and metals and the hand of “friendship” is just another attempt to get the gullible enmeshed in the net of Communist subterfuge. Without donbt, Russia and the other "curtain” countries could absorb vast quantities of our products but previous experiences should demand u'most caution in any trade expansion in that direction.

SYNOPSIS A group of doctors in the Midwestern suburb of Burbank try to establish a tree screening clinic despite lack of money and opposition from the County Hospital. Dr. John Blandin, a strong booster of the project, returns from a meeting and tells his wife, Helen, that enough money has been donated by the wealthy Mrs. Alice Milburn to set ap the clinic. Mrs. Milburn donates the money to spite the Women’s Club because they voted against helping the project. Dr. Chad Mays, brilliant but eccentric young medical administrator, is hired to organize the clinic—and fight the opposition, led by influential Dr. Claude Wilkins-Smith, head of County Hospital. Dr. Mays prefers to remain unidentified until he can Investigate setup. Sitting in the park near the clinic. Dr. Mays meets a youngster named Johnny who UP brought to the park every day by his mother, a pretty, young .blonde named Lacey. Mays accidentally meets Newell McCrillis, a newspaper reporter, and his wife. Stella. He promises McCrillis a a good story soon. Meanwhile, two young interns from County Hospital tell Dr. Blandin they suspect Dr. Wilkins-Smith of malpractice. They ask Dr. Blandin to present their facts and charges to the Policy and Practices Board of the Medical Society. CHAPTER 8 JOHN straightened in Ms chair; red streaked into his face. “Now, hold up, boys,” he said quickly. “I think it’s more than time for me to point out that this is dangerous business you’re in. Interns simply do not bring charges against Staff doctors—and Superintendents — and apt suffer for it. Now we won’t discuss whether it should be possible for an inters on a man’s service to report on that man—it is possible, of course. But it isn’t done often enough to indicate that the project has any merit. I’dhope I’d need say no more to you.” “Do you suppose we’ve done this without thinking about it? We’re not just disgruntled interns, Doctor. We’ve got <!Ases. We’ve given this step a lot of thought We know that it can mean our careers as doctors. Certainly it will mean our. jobs at County.” “We gave some thought, too,” said Bequette, “to the man we chose to talk to. First we thought you’d listen to us. Second, we thought you’d take the matter, on for us.” “Well —” John felt a sickness to his stomach. Every possible emotion was churning there below his belt buckle. “I just wanted you to know that this sort of thing was dangerous,” he said feebly. - “ninffomiw for W aoroad I

Jacobsen readily. “But look, Doc —Doctor—that guy's being dangerous to a lot of people!” “A dpctor of, hip—er—reputation, Jacobsen, can’t be all phony.” “He’s not a bad doctor, sir. A surgeon. And of course he doesn’t do funny business to all his patients, just as he doesn’t kill ’em alt But a case now and thenwell—seems too many to us who have to stand by, play dumb, and let him build up that reputation on such cakes.” “No,” murmured John. “That sort of thing is not right. But, still, you boys should know what you’re doing.” r “We know," said Jacobsen. ■ “Doctor!” Bequette was a very big man, well over six feet, blond as a Viking, and as serious. “We’ve been doctors long enough to have found out that the work we do isn’t always noble. We chart temperatures, and study the results of gastrics, and all that, as a matter of the work we decided to do. I guess most doctors work along those lines. I guess most doctors have to, or go nuts being sorry for people, and discouraged, and all that. .. “But Just the same, Doctor, we stay human beings. And when a stink gets awful bad, we can smell It. And I’m telling you that things are mighty ripe over at the hospital where we work.” —-- —— “Is the Super hard to work for?” The two young men exchanged glances. And John answered himself. “That isn’t the point,” he agreed. “No,” said Jacobsen, “it really isn’t But Doctor —we’ve got a case against him, and the opportunity to spoil his racket should be about as enticing to you as it is to us. He’s out for your blood—the screening clinic’s, I mean, You surely know that!” John did know it “You say you gave your procedure some thought What did you expect me to do with this charge you’ve made ?” “Well, we thought you’d tell your Policy Board about our visit here. Tell them what gives.. “I hope you mean to stay anonymous,” said John sharply. “Well,” agreed Bequette, “if that’s possible, it would be bettar tot*

Widespread Showers Hit Central Section Streets And Homes Flooded In Denver By UNITED PRESS Widespread showers and thunderstormr. struck the central section of the nation Tuesday night, and creeks overflowed in a downpour of rair to flood streets, base ments and homes in part of Denver. * One inch of rein drenched Denver and, at the height of the storm an eight-foot wall of water swept through Big Dry Creek. The creek, a’ong with Little Dry Creek, drains a good part of southeast Denver into the South Platte River. Water overran the hanks of both creeks and the hlghline canal. Police hastily trucked boats from park lakes to evacuate scores of families to high ground. A bridge across Big Dry Creek was washed out and an unidentified youth was thrown into the water bu’ wae rescued with a rope by a motorist Traffic also was snarled when a highway under pass was flooded. Heavy thundershowers occurred In parts of lowa, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico and across the Central Plains eastward to the Middle Mississippi Valley. Springfield. 111. received 2.18 inches of rain in a six-hour period ending shortly after Tuesday midnight. Rainfall totaled 1.80 inches at Kirksville, Mo., 1,71 inches at Lamoni, lowa, and 2.20 inches at Stockville, Neb. Temperatures were higher over most of the nation. Night-time readings ranged from 48 degrees at Grand Marias, Mich., to 95 at Needles. Cal. Oth-r early morning readings were. Pittsburgh, 68'; ’Miami, 83: Fort Worth, 84; Denver, 62; St. Louis. 80, and San Francisco. 58. Fair weather was expected to lay over most areas west of the Rockies and from the Upper Mis Great Lakes.

“And if not?” * “We’ve decided we’d see this thing through.” ’ John relit his pipe, still trying to straighten out this matter in his mind. “How long,” he asked between puffs, “has this—er—circumstance existed?” “We don’t know,” said Jacobsen. A tone of relief in his voice made John wince. “We’ve been dt County for a year—almost. We first noticed this irregularity tost November. We—l pointed out that particular error on the report of the Surgical Resident.” - “And fie said,” chimed in Be(fuette, “that Staffs didn’t make errors. It was one of the things interns had to learn.” John considered this statement, ft had some truth within it Too touch. “The Resident’s been there for : three years,” said Jacobsen. “Which is too long, in my opin- ( ion. If the man’s any good..| A shout of triumph from beyond the blowing curtains brought the three men back to an awareness of the flight of Ume. “Guess your boy made it,” said Bequette, pleased. “And we shouldn’t keep you longer, Doctor. We—” “We thought tonight was a good time to bring this matter to your attention,” said Jacobsen. “I suppose 1 thank you,” said John wryly. “But don’t expect too much, boys. All doctors make mistakes, all doctors need the protection afforded by their licensed. A case or two may seem out of line, even to those in the profession/’ I “A case or two," cried Bequette, “make up that man’s reputation for effecting fabulous cures!” •“I know," John agreed. “The matter should be looked into. I’D present it to the meeting tonight Hoping against hope to keep you boys out of It” I “I don’t see how you can, sir.” “Weß, maybe we can. I hope so, because two earnest and honest doctors allowed to work may more than cancel out one who—” “We’re not that good!” Bequette assured him. “Good night, sir.” As the two young men left, Chad and the children came into the house, noisily, through the kitchen. /Ta ka ‘
