Every good citizen should support the proposal in Congress to allocate money for national medical research with a view to eliminating the six or eight most dangerous and most common diseases. o' ■—o The Decatur Drive-in Theater is now open for week-ends and soon will be open every night If you want to spend a pleasant two hours, sitting relaxed in your car and enjoying a good picture, you should plan to make the Drive-in a habit this summer. o o Psi lota Xi sorority and the Society for Crippled Children and Adults again will jointly sponsor a speech clinic during June and July. An enlarged staff of speech therapists and assistants will give attendants at the free school much more personal attention. It is a most worthy undertaking and should have the support of every good citizen. ■ o ■—•■<> There were 957 bills introduced in the 1957 Indiana General Assembly. Os this total 591 measures faded to become laws. There were 366 which did pass and of these, five were vetoed. The grand total reveals that there were 361 laws enacted. This is 37.7 percent ot tile proposals. The 1955 session enacted 35 per* cent of a total of 973 proposals. o o— — Next week is the ideal time to dispose of the winter accumulation of cans and rubbish. The spring free collection of rubbish will start Monday morning and work will continue until all collections have, been completed. Residents are asked to place thei? rubbish in containers and as near their alleys or streets as possible. Street department employes estimate that it will take about a week to complete the job. o O • Indiana has a new law of in* terest to fishermen. The statute appears to be a “get even” affair. It is illegal now for any non-resident to fish in Indiana waters, if the state from which the non-resident comes has a similar law restricting Indiana fishermen. Actually the tew was made to attempt to force tea.

fishing by Indiana fishermen in the six southern Michigan counties where it has been banned for non-resideuts for several years. —■-» Earl Fuhrman, Schafer Co. executive and long time active worker in the Adams county Red Cross, is the new president of that organization, succeeding John Duff of Geneva. Mr. Fuhrman is a civic and Church leader and there is no doubt that he will do a great job a* head of the county Red Cross organization. He has a long service in many worthy civic endeavors and we congratulate him on his willingness to serve in the great Red Cross movement. o—o— Safety checking of automobiles, a program headed by state police and assisted by city and county officials is an excellent gesture toward safety. Chances are that your automobile will be stopped by a police officer and various items will be checked. This is the start of an all-out es- - to make automobiles which travel the streets and highways safer. Your cooperation with the police officers is urged. If you are driving with one light or if your brakes are faulty or if there are other minor ailments with your automobile, they should be repaired at once. This is in fairness to you and the motoring public and should meet the wholehearted endorsement of all. TTP 0 The county council turned down the reqiiest of the county commissioners tor $50,090 for construction of a new county highway garage. We are not the ones to judge the wisdom of the decision, however it appears that the present garage has ample space and can house most of the county’s equipment. People generally will accept the decision as an economy move and certainly a majority of the people Will add their approval to any money saving actions. The county council is composed of strong membership and we are inclined to agree with any decisions they might make. They have done an excellent job aad we have every reason to believe that their refusal at this time to appropriate the money for the new building is a wise action.

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL A Call for Doctor C 195« by Elisabeth Seifert. Reprinted by permission of the pub- < / filter, Dodd, Mead A Co. Distributed by Xing Feature! Syndicate.

Doctor Grady Barton, on vacation from a large hospital in Chicago, stops for gas in « small town in Wisconsin and runs into an emergency. Frank Seddens. longtime resident of the town, la 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 fishing 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. Seddens promises to contact Grady as soon as a town meeting discusses the matter of a new doctor and a clinic. CHAPTER 4 IT WAS raining in Chicago. The people who came into receiving at the hospital were damp and draggled. Slickers rustled and dripped, the ambulance orderlies’ ducka were mud spattered and there was the smell of wet wool throughout the tiled corridors and rooms of the receiving ward. Dr. Barton was busy—and the medical director had just made him busier by choosing to come down for a routine “walk” through his department In his own good time, the director went off satisfied—Grady thought He had asked the chief how Dr. Lattimore was shaping UPDr. Barion was happy to say that she was doing fine. While on medical service, Annie had had a little run-in with an attending. But, except for getting a little tired toward shift-end, the girl was doing all right in receiving. Os course, in receiving the resident was Dr. Barton, and down here one didn’t have much trouble with staffs and attendings. So now Dr. Barton could give a good report on Dr. Lattimore, and the director was relieved to get it. He went off on that pleasant note. Wldeh tet GfWy-Ait down wt his desk for a minute and make a wry face at the police record sheets which had accumulated in his absence. His desk was strategically placed. From it he could see his whole department, and be seen by hie co-workera; by the entering patients, too—and by their families who sat anxiously upon the hard benches in the waiting room. > Grady filled in the proper blanks on the record sheet and was keenly conscious of the widearmed gesture which the “supe” made as she directed a worried young mother who carried a blanketed baby. A sick baby, Qrady supposed. At the door, beyond this group, stood an orderly awaiting the next ambulance. And today Grady was sharply aware of the way this man stood. 'alertly interested and ready.

Commencement is coming closer and closer. The program for this long-awaited event has been drawn up and is being printed. Mr. Gerig is working with a special chorus ot high school girls who will sing for commencement. Senior committees must “iron out” all of the details necessary to make gradul ation exercises come off smoothi ly. And all this preparation to r some extra study for final exams, which will be “coming up” soon, and your “sum” will tell you that MHS students are going to be busy for the next few weeks. —M.H.S.- - And now — this reporter is off. to her senior trip!

was perhaps the thousandth ambulance he had so awaited; Schulte was in his fifties and an old hand at City General. The ambulance arrived with a ,wet smacking of tires upon concrete, and the case came out Dr. Barton stood up; the sounds from the stretcheir indicated a psycho, and Lattimore was up next to receive it. Grady stepped to the young woman-doctor’s side. “Ever present aid in time of trouble,” said Annie, under her breath. The case was a woman; her body was bound with restraining straps, she was escorted by three uniformed policemen. She chattered and screamed on a high, piercing note and endeavored to claw her hands. Grady took one of these and fastened a strap to its wrist, then fastened that strap to the cart frame. He gestured to Schulte, glanced at one of the policemen and went back to his desk. Annie took the phone and called psychopathic. Grady pulled a form from the proper desk drawer and tipped his pen toward the chair where the officer was to sit. The morning wore on. Dr. Penn and. Dr. Lattimore, the interns, worked under Dr. Barton's supervision; they did what he told them to do or what their instincts and training told them, should he be busy, as he often was. Tragedy or humor, dull misery or violence, always papers and reports must be filled; in, with the duplicates property distributed. Morgue tags must occasionally be made out A lost child was brought in. A little boy with staring, hungry eyes and a too-grim mouth for three. That early morning he’d been found wandering along a dark street; the patrolman had canvassed the neighborhood without discovering his home; he was taken to the precinct station and now had been; • brought City General. Grady examined the mite and asked for a photographer to take his picture. Published in the newspaper, it might locate his family—if they wanted to be located. Poor baby. He tore at a man’s heart. He was not attractive, but with love and eare he could have : been. All three-year-olds should be attractive. Appealing. “I’d like to take him home and cuddle him awhile!” cried Annie Lattimore. She was a nice per- ' son, Annie. A little brisk and I self-assured — as women-interns , had better be!—but a nice girl , withal. She’d make some lucky man a good wife. Grady had • thought quite a bit about that lately. An American girl, like Annie, would very likely be the proper antidote for Gisela. The child didn’t cry: he didn’t rt.

smile either 1 . He just sat crosslagged on the table and gazed uablinkingly at the photographer, lie refused all offers of toys or food. His striped T-shirt and red boxer starts were exchanged for a hospital pajama suit, and he went off to the children’s detention ward, leaving the. doctors and nurses and clerks on receiving with a hollow feeling of guilt that a baby could already know so much of tragedy. By lunchtime Grady’s head was beginning to ache. Only it wasn’t lunchtime in any normal sense of the word. Personnel on receiving ate when they could go no longer without a break or when, miraculously, a break came. That day, one did come near enough to one o’clock to be called lunchtime, and Grady took advantage of it. "Better come along,” he said to Annie as he passed her. She swung into step, a tall girl with short-cropped hair. She was ten years younger than Grady. They knew that the whole staff was watching them with what they considered a knowledge of something “cooking” between those two. It might be, too, Grady had often thought about marrying Annie. And of course hadn't, couldn’t. Yet. ■Lunch was good—he guessed. It was pot roast,, with dumplingsafid what Annie called boiled cucumbers. They talked about cases and about Dr. Penn’s good locks —and the chances that their part of the hospital would be air-con-ditioned during the winter. »A call came for Grady and he strode across the dining room toward a house phone which hung upon the tiled wall. He turned back toward Annie and made gestures to her to indicate that he had a gun-shot case—forefinger to temple and crooked thumb—and went Out. • .She ate-his piece of ;pis as as her own and leaned hack for a cigarette, not even curious as to who had shot whom or why. Instead she thought about Grady Barton—the big, rcd-hea<>-ed guy!—and wished she knew a ; way to get through to him how swell he was. How much everyone liked him, especially Ajjp Lattimore. It was, she suppose-1, tlw way of a decent man to be tightlipped about all he had gone through—during the war, and ! since—but surely it would help i Grady to know that his friends I were behind him and ready to give him a hand up and out of I his personal hole! , that tall blonde wife of Ms didn’t appreciate Grady Barton, there were women who did.
