Gene is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Baxter, and the pride in his success is not by any means limited to the members of his family. o o— — ’ People like a story-book finish to athletic contests. Adams Central Greyhounds furnished the best thriller ot the year in the Adams county sectional basketball tourney Thursday night. If it had been written in a novel, readers would have said “it couldn't happen,” f but it did. The . thrills and heartaches of basketball are what make it a great ‘game. Give us more ot this kind of entertainment and less shooting and killing and weT *•*« a better world. o o ' - That interest continues high in basketball is evidenced by the fact that more than 1.860 calls were recorded on both Wednesday and Thursday nights on the Citizens Telephone Co.-Daily Democrat information phones. In face of the fact that every game is being radioed, the calls have shown an increase. This is partly due to increased interest and the fact that when a fan wants a score he-depends on the old reliable way, the telephone.

If the weather stays mild, traffic over the week-end will be heavy. If you are planning a motor trip, plan to drive carefully. That is just as important as planning your route. o oWe sincerely hope that Herman Krueckeberg, injured in an auto mishap this last week is soon able to be back at his duties at First State Bank. Fighting back against odds is not a new thing for the popular bank cashier. Recently he underwent major surgery and only in recent months had he regained his former health. Mr. Krueckeberg, active in a dozen or more civic undertakings will be sorely missed while he is temporarily disabled. We hope he soon will be back at his familiar spot in the bank. o o Decatur's small business men will be interested in bill H. R. 7 in the House of Representatives in Washington. This bill, introduced by Congressman Wright Patman, Democrat of Texas, would lower the corporate taxes from 30 percent to 20 percent on the first $25,000, and raise taxes progressively over the $400,000 mark. At present, a multi-billion dollar concern is taxed at the same rate as a half-million dollar business. while the small businesses pay the taxes. Congressman Patman also suggests that corporation taxes be lower than individual taxes, and that executive salaries are deducted as a business expense, making incorporation desirable for the small businessman. If you are interested In bill H. R. 7, you should write Congressman E. Ross Adair, House Office Building, Washington 25, D.C. The big corporations will be writing against it.

SYNOPSIS Lieutenant Chad Endicott, a Civil War veteran, is irked when he te ordered from St Louis to establish id Army Post in hostile Dakota Territory. For he must leave his fiancee, Elisabeth Tipton. daughter of General Tipton. and postpone their marriage tor at least s veer St a farewell party in his honor. Chad warns Alvin Stiner, a wealthy trader and his rival for Eliabeth to respect their engagement or he will kill him when he returns Also attending the party is Major Otto Grunwald and bis funloving wife, Myra who is tn love with Stiner. Elizabeth makes a final plea to Chad that they be married so she can accompany him on the assignment, but he refuses, aylng it Will be too dangerous. CHAPTER 4 MYRA HANDED Stiner a glass of sherry, and holding her own high, said, “To Chad and Elizabeth.” He said, “I won’t drink to them." She smiled. “I knew you wouldn’t You hate Chad, don't you ?” “Was it that evident?” “To me it was. 1 know you, Alvin. 1 know you better than you think 1 do." She hesitated. "Will you drink to us?” “To us,” he said, and touched his glass to hers and.drank. She took both glasses £0 the table. He expected her to come to him, but she was filled with sudden restlessness. He reached for her, but she moved back, asking, “You’ve taken quite a fancy to Elizabeth, haven't you?” He was shocked by the question. His first impulse was to lie, but for all her foolish chatter, Myra was not a foolish woman. ,H<- could not deceive her. He said, "1 suppose you could say that.” “You would like to marry her,” Myra said in a low tone,. “but not because you love her. Love is something you have never experienced and never wilt You haven’t the slightest idea what it’s like to love someone the way Elizabeth and Chad love each other, or the way Otto loves me.” He had never heard her talk this way before, and he didn’t like it He knew he was making a bad showing now. “We’re not nice people,‘Alvin, you and L H>ve you ever been honest enough with yourself to admit that?" “Honesty has nothing to do with IL" “Yes, it has. How many women do I share you with?” “None,” he said quickly. She threw a hand out toward . S e 1956. Bouregy & Curt, tne., *

nun, exasperated. "Honesty is not a part of you, Alvin. I’ve always known that but I’ve been willing t- accept anything you could give me, just as Otto is thankful for the crumbs 1 give him. But there’s a difference between us, Alvin. Tm ashamed and you’re not” “You have nothing to be ashamed of,” he said, irritated by this. "I have no hope of ever marrying you, so 1 can be honest You want to marry Elizabeth because she’s young and pretty and would grace your home socially. It would be a business help to marry the daughter of General Tipton. You’d find avenues open that now are closed.” Stiner rose to an angry motion. “I’m going home," he said. *, “Not yet You have never understood why Elizabeth is cool to you, and because you haven’t been able to reach her, your pride is hurt The part you can’t understand is the fact that she's deeply to love with Chad. He has that advantage over you. He’s younger, too.” “I’m not old,” he said, and started toward the haU door. She moved tn front of him aqd put her hands on his arms. “1 love you, Alvin. That’s why I'm saying this. I’m selfish. I don’t want you to leave St Louis, so I’m going to tell you how you can marry Elizabeth. I suppose this makes no sense to you, but it does to me.” “Well?" he said. “You can be very attractive When you try,’’ she said, “but that won’t be enough as long as ahe thinks Chad is alive. There’s your answer, Alvin. Could you convince her that he had lost his life?” “How could I?” he demanded. "I don’t know," she said, “but 1 should think you could manage it Our winters are long, and Chad will be far away. No mail will come down the river. Yes, I should think you could manage it.” He laughed softly, wondering why he' hadn't thought of it before. “Why, now, perhaps 1 can. You’re right Myra. We aren't very nice people,” After he had gone, she sat tn front of the fire while it burned down until there was no flame. Otto was to her mtod, as he always was Stiner left her. She could not doubt his love for übltshen etf the new novel. Distribute

her and she was ashamed, sne could not leave him if she would, and she would not marry Stiner if she could. She got up and left the house, tiptoeing so she wouldn't wake Otto. She walked toward the river, the damp, cold wind rushing at her. Clouds along the eastern horizon wen dark and forbidding: the opalescent light of dawn lay upon the town, making it seem weird and unreal. Presently she heard the low, piercing whistle of a river boat, and she knew the Molly McClain was headed upstream. Chad was on nis way. Myra turned and walked rapidly back to her home. She was cold, and when she reached ths house, she was shivering. She took her coat off and hung it on the hah rack, hearing Otto rattle around in the kitchen. She hurried along the han, and when she opened the door, Otto looked around, his heavy face shadowed by misery. ,< Tm sorry, Otto," she said. "I didn’t think you’d be up yet. I’ll get your breakfast.” “Where have you been?" "Walking. I couldn’t sleep. Chad’s gone, Otto, I heard the whistle." She kissed him and began setting the table. He said. **l didn’t sleep, either. I don’t suppose Chad did. Or Elizabeth." —i "It’s too bad he had to go,” she said. "Would you like an egg this morning, Otto?” “Yes." He came toward her. "Myra, 1 haven’t spoken of this before, but I must now." She straightened, the egg in her hand. It was coming, she thought. She couldn't blame him. She laid the egg down, knowing she would break it if she didn’t. She whispered, “What is it, Otto?" “About last night at the Tiptons’. You know how much gossip there is. Jf you wouldn't talk so much—-to Stiner, 1 mean." She took a long breath. He had intended to say more, but he couldn’t because he was afraid he’s lose her. He was her prisoner, just as she was Alvin’s. "I do carry on, don’t I, Otto? Tm sorry. I’ll try to be more dignified next time.” She kissed him again and patted his cheek. “Go get dressed, darling. I’ll have your breakfast ready in a minute.” (To Bo Continued) * . I by Kins ffeataMß Syndicate' J

Cites Misunderstandings Os Public And Doctors ft . .

Editor’s Neto: This is the first of three dispatches by last year’s president of the American Medleal Assn, examining misunderstandings between the public and the medical profession. _ By DR. ELMER HESS Written for United Press What do people think about doctors? Does the public respect the medical profession—have faith in physicians? Or is there a growing animosity toward medical men? From the things you sometimes read or the comments you hear you might get the idea people are pretty disgruntled about the men who serve their medical needs. How many times have you encountered criticism like these? “Doctors are impersonal—They are curt to people who aren’t seriously Hl and belittle their problems. ...” “Doctors charge too much... .” “Doctors add to a patient's bill when they find out he carries insurance. ...” Well, I can tell you that during my term of office as president of the American Medical Assn. I got some first-hand information on this subject It seems to me the number of complaints the president of the world's largest medical organization receives ought to be a pretty good means of measuring the extent of dissatisfaction around the country. I was actually amazed how few such letters I received. Ip a country with a population of over 160 million people I received less than 1,900 letters of complaint and I personally answered each one. Committees Hear Complaints Within the last few years the medical profession has set up mechanisms to handle real or imagined grievances. We call them grievance or mediation committees and a majority of state and county medical societies have them today. These are committees made up of doctors to whom* a person can take a complaint about a physician or some aspect of medical service. One thing doctors have warned in their recent efforts to reduce complaints is that simple misunderstanding is usually the major cause. The medical professional traditionally has kepi tabs on its own members —policed its own ranks, sa to speak, in an effort to make sure doctors conform to the highest ethical concepts of the practice of medicine. An Oakland, Calif., woman had surgery and when she received her bill, felt her surgeon had overcharged her. Even though she was wealthy, the woman refused to pay this bill. She took her complaint to the Alameda County Medical Society. Their grievance committee heard her story.

No Two Cases Alike "Os course, I could pay the fee charged,” she said, “but it is many times what is charged for a similar operation in this area.” The committee investigated and learned that her physician had failed to tell her prior to the operation what the charge would be. When the committee suggested to the physician that he his bill to make it closer to the going rate for such surgery, he refused. Then the grievance committee told him that since he had not agreed upon a fee prior to the operation, he should accept the usual fee. If he did not do so, the . committee said, it would defend the patient’s position if the case went to court. Needless to say, . the physician accepted an “average” fee. However, there’s one thing patients sometimes don’t realize. No I two cases are exactly alike. There . may be good reasons why Mrs. Jones may pay less for a medical ; service than someone in your famr ily does for a similar procedure, t I once treated two men who were i neighbors. Both had similar symptoms and both had to have sur- ! gery. In one case the man had a ■ condition easily corrected. The • other unfortunately had a malignancy so his operative result wasn’t good. Caused by Misunderstanding The man with the malignancy checked with his neighbor, found there was a difference in the. operative results, and refused to pay his bill. Did we attempt to collect? Os course not. This story merely illustrates the many variations in what often appear to be identical cases. That’s why it is difficult to establish definite average fees for specific conditions. The matter of lees does Sometimes result in justified complaints. There are occasional instance/ of overcharging. A few doctors may hike a bill when patients have insurance. But I'd be ;• witting to bet that when you hear a complaint about overcharging or fee-hiking, it is generally because of a misunderstanding of the situation rather than because the physician is guilty. As for the complaint that doctors are curt and impersonal, to say that doctors are tremendously 1 busy doesn't really justify such attitudes. Our profession is continually impressing, upon its members the importance of treating each ‘ patient as a special individual, not just as a clinical case. Doctors are human, too — they get tired, they have personal problems, they don’t always reflect sunshine and light. But they try. President Washington vetoed only two bills in his eight years in office.

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE O Q. The church In which our daughter is to be married is directly across the street from our home. Would it be proper for her and her attendants to walk across the street to the church, or are they supposed to drive up in a car? A. Unless the weather is very bad, it would be quite proper for them to walk across the street. Q. When visiting in the home of a friend, and a box of candy is open on the table, is a guest privileged to help himself without an invitation? A. Certainly not. To do so would show a lack of manners. Q. What apology should one make after a sudden sneeze in public? ’ . A. “Pardon me" is sufficient. Trade in a good town — Decatur
