I Now come football, politics and Christmas shopping! —4 4>— You have the entire month of September and the first eight days in October to register so you’ll be eligible to vote next November. It is the duty and also the privilege of every American citlxen over 21 years of age to vote. 0 o Many people from this area attended the Van Wert county fair over Labor Day. The big event, just across the Ohio line from here is putting on its greatest of a series of great fairs. The races and grandstand attractions seem to be drawing the biggest crowds and most applause College football soon will join high school football to crowd baseball into a corner on the nation’s sports pages. Most college teams will start their gruelling schedules late in September. High school teams, in Indiana, will start action this week. It’s an interesting game and will draw thousands of spectators during September, October and November. '' —o , Adlai Stevenson, Democratic candidate for President, drew top billing Labor Day when he spoke to more than 50,000 people in Detroit, Mich. Stevenson’s speech was what the people wanted to hear, which included an equal break for the working class. Indications are that Michigan will be in the Democrat column next November. 4 * 0 0 Mr. Motorist: Schools are starting. There will be much more bicycle traffic. Often times these bike riders are not as careful as they should be. That places a heavy burden x>n the motorist. / Remember, most of the cyclists are children and they quite often don’t abide by all the traffic regulations. That means we must be extra careful. Let’s start .today, watching our driving habits, especially near school areas. —e—4 The Decatur area has gone about ten days now without a new polio case being reported. This is wonderful, but we still have a serious problem. We

should not let up until some investigating is done as to why this area has suffered so much the last several years. We think it would be an ideal place for the national association to do some research work. 0 0 According to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, here is the way your dime is spent: 15.4 percent for research, education and medical care; 16.(J*percent for polio prevention; 0.5 percent for public information; 1.4 percent service and assistance to* chapters; 2.6 percent for medical department services; 3.2 percent for state offices; 3.9 percent for administration and 56.4 percent for patient care. With the children back in school, Adama county parents will be thinking of fall and winter clothing for their family. Remember, Decatur retail stores have many fine lines of all types of clothing for boys and girls. Take a look and compare prices with other northern Indiana retail stores. We are sure you’ll make Decatur your shopping headquarters the year around. —o Ideal early autumn weather has been our menu the last few days. With rain forecast, it might be a good idea to think a little about your lawns and get ready for fall plantings of grass. For several years fall plantings have been recommended by lawn experts on the theory that the rains will cause a fall sprouting of the grass and if it survives the winter ordeal, it will likely be strong.. enough to also survive next summer's sun. 0 4 Chief of police James Borders and school bus operator Robert Gay have joined in asking the motoring public to drive with caution near school houses and to stop when a school bus stops In the city. Many drivers only slow down when children are alighting from school busses. The law specifically states that a driver must “stop.” Decatur has been fortunate in recent years in that there haye been no serious school accidents. Let’s keep our streets safe for the children.

U- - — i Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA Lil » , — When Using Shellac When using shellac on hardwood floors, it is well to remember that all stains must first be removed from the floor, or they will show up even plainer than before being shellacked. The Ruga Only too few people make a practice of taming their rugs around every six months or so, where there is wear. The constant. turning will cause them to wear evenly.

Would it be proper to have two maids of honor, both of them dressed in white? A. This is all right, if you wislij although usually only the bride is dressed in white. In some summer weddings, an all-white wedding is very effective. Os course, the bridesmaids never wear veils of any kind. Q. I have been told that one who visits a sick friend in a hospital should always bring some kind of gift. Is this correct? A. This is not obligatory. .You may do as you wish. Q. What is the correct way to eat.

CHAPTER 34 IN THE merciless spotlight the afternoon sun fixed on the table tn the Staff room, Dr. WilkinsSmith turned several colors in rapid succession. Watching him, Sis lawyers expressed growing dismay at the turn events were halting. A splatter of talk had gone •round the table. Chad Mays waited for it to subside, smiling • little with his eyes. When he again had everyone’s attention he began to speak. Quietly, using much the same aarrative tone Stella had used. “As some of you may have guessed by the stenciling on my *hirt,” he informed his listeners. "I’ve just spent a couple of days at the County Hospital I went in there —got myself admitted —as a patient. To double-check on the methods which had been used with Mrs. McCrillis. I happen to have a back injury from the war. Except for a tricky reflex, it gives me very little trouble. And is very difficult to diagnose. It can seem tike nothing, it can seem very ominous. That reflex is always startling. Perhaps as I grow old«r, the thing Will bother me. It doesn’t, now. So —and I agree that I had my own purposes—l got into the hospital as an emergency case, and under an assumed name. I was thereupon—er—examined, and my condition diagnosed.” > He paused, and canted a curious eye at Wilkins-Smith. “Yep!" he affirmed, “I kept my eyes and ears wide open, Doctor. I found many evidences of rotten practice, many offefises against all rules of hospital ethics, the whole performance scarcely what might be called acceptable. "If you are ready to claim you knew me all the time, I’ll call you a liar. You had no Idea who I was. You may have seen me before, but you did not recognize me as Chadbum Mays. You had no idea that I was on 4 you.” "I said you had a serious back condition.” The words spat like BB shot across the table. "You dp!" Chad went on as if he had not heard the splatter of syllables. "I was pretty confident of my condition when I decided to enter the County Hospital," he said quietly. “I went through the clinic here; three months earlier I had had a thorough check-up at Mayo's. And I report once a year to the Army Hospital." He paused impressively. “But only I

Dr, Wilkins-Smith has made or suggested a diagnosis of cancer of the spine—and advised taw mediate surgery.” In the gabble of sounds made by the accused man, the words, “only said it could be that,” were distinguishable. Chad looked at him nntil the doctor fell silent, and slumped like a mass of dead, gray stone in his chair. ‘ Then Chad took a paper from his hip pocket, unfolded it, glanced at it, walked the length of the room and gave the document to the chairman. "That," he said, as he waited back to his position at the other end of the table, "is an elaborate and formal report, .signed by Dr. Wilkins-Smith. It will take Dr. Gaskin a while to read all the material in it, so I’ll tell the rest of you that, according to the report the diagnosis of cancer was reached after, and as the result of, numerous tests. Tests which I know were never made. I know, and I can testify, that no micrograph was made. I know, and I can prow—" his voice tightened and snapped the word into the air " —that no biopsy was performed. 1 left the hospital at ten-thirty this morning. I defy anyone, including Dr. WilkinsSmith, to locate even a minute fresh scar anywhere near my spine.” With a swift gesture, he pulled out the length of the hospital shirt, and drew the tails apart, exposing his lean ribs. He walked down along one side of the table, then up the other. Dr. WilkinsSmith’s lawyers were in a huddle. Chad’s progress was triumphant, and Newell McCrillis watched him with pride and wonder. He was, Newell thought, iike a drunken man in that period which comes when he finds, at the bottom of one certain glass, the secret of the universe. Chad’s eyes glowed with the wonder of that discovery, his mind worked with a formidable, even terrifying, coherence. Cold sober, >he had attained this rarefied moment He knew the power that was his at that minute. “There are holes In my evidence,” he said, magnificently generous. “It might, not hold up in court. "But it’s good enough for any use to which you may force me to put it Dr. Smith!" He tucked in the shirt casually and joined John and Newell on Lke window aifl. The sandy-

haired lawyer anted Gaskins tor the floor. Given it, he spoke briefly. "I just want to say that my colleague, Mr. Newman here, and I wish to withdraw from any. legal association with a doctor who operates in the fashion —er —indicated.** “This is not a trial, sir,” said the Chairman unhappily. “The devil it isn’t!” cried Wil-kins-Smith hotly. He stumbled to his feet. All elegant affections of speech had been cast aside. “The whole meeting was framed against me! I was given no chance—l can justify everything I’ve done! My record is excellent! How was I to know I'd be rigged? First by that woman, whom I had every intention of testing further—” e y e'b ro w s around the table rose skeptically —"then by a doctor so unethical as to sneak into a hospital under an assumed name .. .** “Your diagnosis was of a spine condition on a patient you had every chance to examine properly,” said Gaskins, coldly- “Every doctor Claims that the identity of the patient makes no difference.” “Well, I don’t Claim it!* snapped Wilkins-Smith. “And the worst I can wish for you other doctors is to continue your association with this man. Any doctor whose methods stink so high . . “Sure they stink,” said Chad happily. “They just about match yours. But look, gentlemen.” On his feet again, he asumed the air of a briskly competent professional man. “I came here to organize the Burbank Screening Clinic, to build it into a smoothly running operation. It looked like an easy job—four big suburbs co-operat-ing, the whole County seeming to approve and indicate a spread of its activities —city hospitals and county doctors all behind it in an active way. “Except for one hospital. It refused to accept our reports, or to co-operate in any way. In fact, I immediately found that we were being discredited, inside that hospital, within its sphere of operation, and outside, too. In that respect I quickly nanowed the opposition to one man; he had descended so low as to use his personal patients and the organizations to which they belonged in an active campaign to smear our purpose and our accomplishments.”..
