The Decatur area went through another week-end without a fatal auto mishap. If people exercise just a little care and caution, we can whip this reckless driving business. ' O - o Rev. C. E. Lykins, popular minister of tite Decatur Church of the Nazarene has been recalled by the local congregation for the fourth year. We congratulate the local pastor on his reassignment and we are glad for the entire citizenry that Decatur will continue to be the home of the Lykins family. Rev. Lykins has done much to make his congregation outstanding in the religious field and it is wonderful to know that such a citizen and Christian leader has been returned to Debatur to continue his work. ——-o— —o— Three able and prominent Decatur citizens, Rev. Virgil Sexton, Ralph Habegger and Royal Friend are the new directors of the Decatur Community fund, the organization which has the job of raising the funds, once each year for the operation of seven important local organizations, including such groups as the Cancer Society, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and others. An effort is being made to bring all similar organizations into the one fund raising unit so as to eliminate the numerous individual drives. Congratulations to the new directors and also to the board in selecting such able representative citizens. —-o—o Deane T. Dorwin, veteran Decatur high school faculty member and baseball coach for twenty years will retire as varsity mentor at the close of this season. The resignation from the coaching staff comes as no surprise to Coach Dorwih’s friends, but the decision has been reluctantly accepted by all local fans who have watched Yellow Jacket baseball teams become masters of the diamond in northern Indiana for many years under his guidance. Mr. Dorwin plans to continue his teaching, but will relinquish his diamond duties. The present Jacket baseball team is a typical Dorwin team having

won all of its games so fat this season. —o——o-—- . Several members of the national House and Senate are leading one of the greatest moves in the history of our nation. They have proposed the allocation of a billion dollars so be used entirely for research in an all out effort ; to find the cause and cure of a half dozen terrible diseases in the cancer, polio, sclerosis and arthritis category. Some strong members of Congress are taking the lead. Here is one measure which should have whole-hearted support of every United States citizen. We give billlbns away and we spend billions for new weapons, but we don’t spend a dime to find out about the cause and cure of these six or eight crippling and killing diseases which plague our people. It is a wonderful move, even if we had to cut down on giving to other and often times dissatisfied neighboring nations or for some highway construction. Let’s all join in the proposal to get rid of these killing, crippling diseases at any cost. ——o— —-o Henry Bromer, whose death occurred in Fort Wayne last Friday, for many years top executive at Decatr Casting Co., has left a void in local industry which will be difficult to fill. Mr. Bromer, past president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, wks active in civic and industrial efforts until just a few months ago, when his health would no longer permit such an active life. He had long carried the distinction of operating the local manufacturing concern efficiently and his production record brought his plant many honors for quality. Decatur Casting products have long been known for their excellence. His industrial life has been just as good as the product he manufactured and his many friends and associates are deeply grieved at his death. The Bromers lived in Decatur until about two years ago when they moved to Fort Wayne. The Daily Democrat joins the many others in recognizing the sorrow to his family and conveys our sympathy to Mrs. Bromer and her children.

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL A Call for Doctor

SYNOPSIS Doctor Grady Barton, on vacation from a large hospital in Chicago, stops for gas in a small town in Wisconsin and runs into an emergency, Frank Seddens. longtime resident Os the town, is stricken with a high blood pressure attack at the gas station and Grady comes to his aid. Seddens is impressed with the young doctor's ability and asks him to consider a practice in the town, which is without a doctor. Grady accepts an invitation to stay over a day for Ashing and think about the offer. It is tempting—he is tired of the hospital routine and wants a general practice. Besides, his wife. Gisela, is divorcing him and he wants to “get away" and start a new life. CHAPTER 3 PRANK SEDDENS watched F Grady and saw the peace which came to the younger man's face and into hia eyes as he gazed across the lake. Seddens had been a master salesman; he knew how to present his product or his proposition and then wait for the proper time of reaction in his customer . . . Now, when that minute seemed to have come, he said, quietly, "The Hollies need a doctor, Grady. Our little town here—Green Holly—has none, which Is perhaps to be expected. We’re too small to support a doctor. We’re only a thousand souls, with some claim to the 500 folk who come in for the summer season. That runs to ten weeks, about. "But Holly Neighbors has no doctor either—and it’s bigger. There are at least 2500 people there. Which, if you’re good at arithmetic — as 1 am — means there are 3500 people here the year round. And that’s quite a i lot of people, old and young and in between, to try to get along without direct medical help." “You forget Dr. Stone,’’ murmured Miss Nellie. The jutting gray beard seemed to bristle. "Stone!" barked Frank Seddens. “He isn’t as much help as a good veterinary would be!” Grady leaned forward in his chair. “He says he is an osteopath,” cried Frank Seddens. “I know he is a charlatan!" “Brother!” protested Miss Nellie. ’ 4:“ “Well, he’s no doctor! Where was IT And don’t interrupt, Nellie!” “You were saying a lot of people had to get along without.. .” “Yes!” He turned again to Grady, who was smiling only faintly. “Now, Doctor, if it would be possible for you to imagine such a condition, try to picture those 3500 1 mentioned as individuals, some of them needing- medical attention constantly, all of them needing it occasionally. Then bring your consideration down to me and my high blood pressure, or hyi pertension. It still amounts to a chronic condition which needs medical guidance and care.

replied. "We are pledged to provide complete service in the paint and color field. The resources and experience of the world’s largest paint company am made available to residents of the area through the local branch.** Garner suggested a visit to the store’s color service center, where homemakers may study and plan distinctive color schemes with the aid of easy-to-use books on decoration. “Copies of the. color harmony book may be borrowed, without obligation, to study at home,*’! Garner added. "It answers the question: What color goes with what?” The new branch serves both retail and wholesale fields. Its inventory of paints, varnishes, and special finishes is available to Sherwin-Williams dealers in the area, and to painting contractors. Its service includes coatings of special formulation for industrial plants and their products. A three-day open house closed Saturday night, with a drawing for paint.

"Two years ago I retired and decided to live here the year round ih the summer home which my wife and 1 had loved so dearly—where we’d had so many happy times.” He paused for a moment of regretful memory, then lifted his head and continued briskly, "I didn’t give the matter of medical service much thought. But now—Nellie and I aren’t getting any younger, and maybe—” “But what do people do?” asked Grady. “How do they manage when they are ill or hurt?” Mr. Seddens nodded. “Well,” he said thoughtfully, “an emergency goes by ambulance to the nearest doctor or hospital. That’s thirtyfive or fifty miles. Here in town we have an undertaker with an ambulance —” “Without a medical attendant?" "That’s right.” » Grady’s tongue circled his cheek. Mr. Seddens nodded. “For general medical care and advice, our people go to Mayo’s, to Madison or Milwaukee—or even to Chicago. Mild cases—colds and headaches and minor accidents—appeal to the druggist” •Td think you’d need a bit more than that,” said Grady. “We do. We’re a normal cross section of people. There are babies, and once bom, these babies get the croup and the measles — so we need more medical care than we have close at hand. I do, Ihn sure. To get it—while I don’t want to move, I may have to move. For instance, 1 want to feel that such protection and care would be quickly available when I have my stroke.” Grady's head snapped up, his eyes keenly studied his host’s face. “A man with your essential hypertension,” he said quietly, “does need constant medical supervision. That’s true enough.” "If he just wouldn’t worry about so many things,” suggested Frank Seddens’ sister. “He frets too much, makes too many things his concern . . . You don’t look like the nervous sort.” The big young man nodded. “I shouldn’t be,” he agreed. His mind darted, lightning swift. Self-disgust was what he had to cope with, and anger at the mess a young man could make of his life, a mess which he must carry with him and learn to handle—or try to forget. . 'T shouldn’t be nervous,” he repeated. “Or even tense. That’s why I think I should, perhaps, make a change in the life I live and the work I do. It’s why I’m interested to know if your brother is suggesting an offer of some kind to me.” Mr. Seddens nodded. His initial judgment of this quiet, selfcontained man was proving to be .

sound. 'Tin afraid I*m not ready to offer much,” he confessed. “As things stand now, if you'd come here and set up practice, I could promise you one case of high blood pressure.” •Tm not much of a gambler, sir,” Grady said regretfully. “I own some instruments; 1 have a few dollars saved, but 1 think at ~iy age, I’d need to be sure of a living to do good work. I’m a conscientious guy, and bills bother me, things like that.” "They should!” agreed Mr. Seddens. “And—well—of course I’m giving a good bit of thought to being able, in the future, to make a more attractive suggestion to you than I could right now. Look, you leave me your address. And I think you may be hearing from us.” Grady stood up. “I hope I do, sir! In the meantime, I must be moving on now toward the job I do have. You've all been most kind to me. 1 hate to leave —1 hope I may come back.” It took a bit more in the way of farewells. But within another hour, he was driving put of Saddens* place, turning his car toward the town which he had seen for the first time less than twenty-four hours ago, and which he now looked at as consideringly as if it were his home, and would be. Beyond the cluster of business houses and homes which marked the center of the town, when he was about to turn into the main highway, he slowed his car and stopped it for a long backward look at the steep streets and the Hmestoned houses. A man living in this town and working here could put down roots. He could have one of those limestone houses, with geraniums in his window boxes; he could have his own boat down at the take—a little boat, like the one that girl was pulling up on the sand ... Grady leaned forward across the wheel. But what a pretty girl she was! Slender—with short, curly brown hair —she was graceful —she wore a red and white striped shirt with faded blue pedal pushers. Her brown hands were strongly sure with the beaching of her boat and the line with which she tied it up. She shipped the oars neatly, snapped a padlock, then picked up a sweater and walked swiftly, gracefully up the beach. A pretty girt, pink cheeked, smiling, capable—a girl such as Grady Barton would like to know. With a sigh, he reluctantly started the motor, turned the car wheels into the far lane of the highway and drove past the sign which told him how many miles he must drive to reach Chicago.
