Though further inflation has boon played down, incomes and cost of living are on the upgrade. Similar increase in costs will be relayed to the ultimate consumer who in turn will need higher incomes. The merry-go-round continues and when it will halt none seem to know/ fewer seem to care. Oh, well, guess we can take It or leave it 0 0 According to a poll of county commissioners and county road supervisors in 60 of Indiana’s counties, 99.5% voted in favor of a 1-cent or a 2-cent increase in our state gasoline tax. While Indiana’s present 4-cent tax ie among the five lowest in the United States we are on the way to catch up — but fast. Certainly we need road improvements but those doggone tax additions never seem to be rescinded. No, “you don't take it with you”, but some of ns would like to use it a bit more while we are here. -—0 0 Financial statements released by the city light and power department as well as the city water utility indicate a profit tor the first six months of 1956. When we consider the fact that tye light and water facilities aye valued at more than *4-5 million Ito is readily seen that this is big business. Naturally all of ns would like lower rates but if our utilities are to serve the public interest then it behooves each of us to be willing to pay our fair share. The water department continues to be the •’stop-child'* and a rate increase seems to be in order. However, many of us on the outside are unable to master 'a birds-eye view of the overall situation and need to make a closer study of *‘our” industries as the utilities really are ours. Borne of us are not very active stockholders, are we? ---

I It is estimated that the aver- ■ age college student should budLet from S2OO to SI2OO per year ■for clothes Not a word was said ■about the cost of books and supplies! I O- O— —' I Many of our young people are Fplanning to further their education when colleges and universities open their doors in September. Others are planning vocational training of various kinds and all should be encouraged to utilise their abilities to the greatest extent. Technological advances demand better trained workers and scientists. Too, young people have an obligation to society—an obligation to contribute as much as possible for posterity. Certainly one is not amiss if he accepts the challenge to do the best possible and a wide variety of schools make such available through further training. ———o o—— The present Suez tension is not decreased with the activation of reserve units by both sides. It would appear that a war of nerves is in progress rather than imminent reoccupation of this vital waterway area. Irregardless of how we feel about John Foster Dulles and eome of his questionable policies, it should be admitted that he had no little influence in bringing about the international Conference to talk about the crisis. It is felt that Egypt can be made to see its moral obligation to other nations and not just to reverse the Nasser nationalization of the Suez Canal. President Nasser can be made to recognize that loss of fnternational good will would be costly to his regime and his nation. No doubt sterner economic sanctions could be applied and even the threat of Anglo-French armed forces would be unpleasant for the Egyptians. If and when a peaceful settlement is forthcoming then the United States has again led the way toward more amicable relations among nations of the world. Most important for us is that we have helped place force as a last resort for a settlement. We have continued to be the leader in efforts at peaceful settlement of international troubles.

No articles will be I published without signature of I the author. o 0 Reminiscence Dear Editor: I read with much interest your Interview with Hay Smith which appeared in the August 4 paper. It caused me to reminisce of the days of long ago. I’ve lived on Tenth street for 53 years, and started as a city carrier May 1, 19<M. I have a picture of all carriers for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1906. All are dead but three. All of us received the magniffcient sum of SSO per month for that fiscal year. The post office department paid rural route carriers $51.10 for a 31-day month and $48.90 for a 30-day month. One carrier said “that is just ssl and a drink.” I don’t know what the department paid for February. The rural route carriers had tough going. William Engle drove two horses oh alternate days. We city carriers had loads only fit for a pack mule, and we had no relay boxes. Yours. Oliver P. Mills. Irene Byron Sanitarium. Fort Wayne, Ind.

How does a home wedding differ from a church wedding? A. The big difference is that the bride and bridegroom do not take a single step together. He meets her at the point where the service ie to be read, and after the ceremony there is no recessional. The clergyman withdraws, an usher removes the prayer bench, and the newlyweds merely turn where they stand and receive the good wishes of their guests. Q. Is it permissable, at a dinner party, to begin removing plates before everyone has finished eating? A. Properly, you must wait until everyone has finished eating before removing the plates. Q. Is it proper to issue invitations to a cocktail party over the telephone? A. Certainly. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.

- CHARTER Ift CTELLA McCRILLIS was an O especially nice person. About thirty, of average height. Blender. she definitely bad her own perspnality, yet she never forced its expression on others. Therefore, until they knew her well, people often misjudged Stella, thought she was overly quiet and retiring, able to be walked around, if not upon. ; — On that summer morning, she came into the clinic hall quietly, almost shyly. She returned the receptionist’s smile, and said, yes, she had come in for a check-up —or examination; she wasn’t sure of the terms. One of the doctors had been at her home one eve. rung recently, and had suggested that she come in. . . . “Would you tell us the doctor’s name?” asked the girt A neat sign on her desk said she was Miss Gebhardt. “We are interested in keeping that sort of record.’ “1 suppose so," agreed Stella. “It was Dr. Mays." At a desk farther down the hall, a white-capped nurse looked up with interest But the receptionist went on, calmly, with the routine procedure. She gave Stella some printed forms and indicated one of several semi-enclosed spaces, each of which contained a desk and chair. “If you’ll go in there," said Miss Gebhardt “and fill out the form . . . When you’re' finished, a doctor will be ready to examine you."— i—- — Stella took her form to the desk, switched on the light and began to put down the requested data. Name: Stella McCrillis; ' white; female. Age: 31; married; no children . . . etc. As she bent over the paper, Miss Duckett was talking to a man in white. "A woman is here,. Doctor. She says you referred her. 1 thought if she was a special case . . “We donlt have special cases. Miss Duckett" “No, but—you sometimes do take a case through yourself.” He did. Chad had well established that practice. So when Stella gave a final glance over the tilled-in form she rose and met Chad at the opening of the cubicle. She looked a bit disconcerted, but his smile was reassuring. *Tm glad to see you took my advice, Stella,” he said in a firmly distinct voice. “Do you mind If I escort you through yota tests ? 1 check the

He took her along the hall to • glass-paneled door marked “Doctor.” He knocked, turned the knob, and stepped aside for Stella to enter. “Dr. Blandin,” be told the patient “Mrs. McCrillis. She's having a routine, Doctor. But I suggested that she come to us because of a dermatitis she seems to have." » John's brown eyes blinked, once. "Routine?" he said quietly. “That’s right’ The slender, pleasant-faced doctor took the fllled-in forms, and Stella went with a nurse into the examination room. John studied the questionnaire while she was undressed and robed. "1 told her,” said Chad softly at John’s shoulder, “that some risk was involved." John's pencil point lay upon the name which Stella had put down in the space asking, “Your report is to be sent . . .?” Then, his cheeks a little red, he stood up. “Since 1 happen to be on duty,” he said quietly, "of course I’ll give this routine." “Os course." Chad in tus crisp white suit, John equally professional in a white jacket over his street clothes, went almost wordlessly through the tests ar they were deme tor any patient. A rudimentary testing of vision and hearing, blood pressure taken with a manometer. Her temperature was recorded, her pulse and weight. The stethoscope was used, some palpation made of the chest and abdomen, a pelvic examination given. Then a technician took over to get the electrocardiogram. That done, Stella, still swathed in the snowy terry-cloth robe, and still accompanied by Chad, was escorted to the X-ray room for a chest X-ray, then on to the lab where blood and urine samples were procured, and back to the room where she had left her clothes. When dressed, she came again to Dr. Blandin seated at bis desk. He salted her to sit upon the end of the examination table so that h# might look at the dermatitis which Dr. Mays had detected. John made • slight sound tn his throat, and went to Stella’s side, took off the dressing on her throat, gazed intently st the lesion* and grunted agai* With-

Three Brothers Die As Train Hits Auto Three Killed Near Muncie Early Today MCCORDSVILLE, Ind. (UP) — Three Muncie brothers were killed early today when a New York Central passenger train demolished their car at an unguarded town crossing. The victims were identified as Shelly E. Neal, 21, Kelly 24, and George, 18. Witnesses said the bodies were thrown from the car as the train struck the right rear side. The car was dragged 200 feet and thrown 20 or 30 feet into a field. The crossing is 50 yards west of Ind. 67. about a quarter of a mile southwest of here. The train was headed for Indianapolis, 15 miles southwest of here, at 75 miles an hour, authorities said. They said the horn and whistle were blowing and the lights blinking. The brothers were believed to be returning to Muncie from a fishing trip at Giest Reservoir.

out replacing me dressing, he sal down again at the desk, motioned to Stella to take the chair beside it. “Mrs. McCrillis," he said, after a second of silence, "your clinical examination ends here. This clinic la designed to detect symptom* only. Our hope Is that, when warranted, a more complete examination will be made, and treatment given where needed." "1 understand. Dr. Blandin." “Yea Now except for this breaking-out on your neck, we have found nothing to indicate any need for treatment. We can’t toll, and the doctors at County Hospital won’t be able to tell, exactly, what the skin trouble is without tissue testa Often, dermatitis cannot be accurately examined clinically. By that 1 mean through the sort of examination 1 nave given you. It should have a histologic examination; that ts, samples of tissue should be taken and examined microscopically. “I m ready to make such a histologic examination of your trouble, should you want me to.” He paused, then proceeded rapidly. “But so far as our Clinic Report goes, it will go to County Hospital as it now stands, indicating a clinical detection of dermatitis. 1 understand the lesions tend to recur . . . How long do the eruptions last, usually, Mrs. McCrillis?" 1 . "Several weeks —some doctors have called it impetigo. Whatever it is, it leaves scars. I hate it." “You've never had tissue tests?" “1 don’t think so, Doctor." John was writing upon a pad on his desk. “Clinically, 1 might call it impetigo, too," he said as he wrote. “But if you want tissue tests made here—lndependent of the report our clinic will make—” “You mean, as a check on what the hospital will do?’’ John Blandin looked startled, then resumed his usual professional mask. “It could serye as a check," he agreed, mildly. “How long will it take ?" “Five minutes will give us the samples. You may have your report to take to ths hospital as you leave here this morning. The histologic report won’t be ready that soon.” Chad offered to take Stella 1 back to the lab, and his fingers squeezed her arm as they went down the halt She took a couple of deep breaths, but said nothing. • (To Be Continued)

The weather bureau reported that “a tornado or strong winds" hit Centerville near midnight Wednesday night, uprooting trees and tearing down power lines. Windows were smashed and a roof was blown from one building. The only communication from the town was through a state highway patrol car which was blown oft the highway. No deaths were reported. A thunderstorm dumped four inches of rain on Rockport, Mo„ and downed power lines. Elsewhere in northern Missouri, gusts up to 77 miles per hour lashed Kirksville and winds near 50 miles per hour hit Kansas City. In Texas and portions of Kansas and Oklahoma Wednesday, temperatures pushed into the high 90s and up to 100. A continuing drought in the Southwest left some areas with a rain deficiency up to 10 inches for the year thus far; Dallas, Tex., which should have had'a normal total of 22.56 inches, reported only 12.46 to date. The city contracted for a cloudseeding operation to promote rainfall, but there have been too few clouds. * U.S. weather forecasters said widely scattered thundershowers over the Southern Plains would extend eastward today to the sputhern Appalachians and northeast ward, and would become general through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.
