■ Predictions are that we will get! some rain over this week-end! • which will not be distasteful to| gardeners and part of the coun-! ty’s farmers. I o' -o— I Rev. Robert Pierce, Broadway! Methodist church, Indianapolis! will be guest speaker at the De-I catur high school Commencement! exercises. The affair is for May 23. Dr. Pierce is regard- 1 ed as an outstanding speaker and l we eagerly look forward to his j address, "Capturing Elephants.”! ■O' " o ' i Death in its ever mysterious! action has taken the life of a j mother of three children, Mrs.l Anna Lillich. Born Anna Conrad, this mother, in her very midst at rearing a fine family of three has been taken from her husband and loved ones. We can't understand. We merely have to acquiesce. The Daily Demcorat joins her many friends in uttering sympathy to the husband, children, and parents and we know they have scores of fine and loving memories of the days she did live. o——o The dozen or so Decatur residents who persist in emptying their trash cans into the street are costing the city about 8500 a year, it is estimated. These people are violating the law each time they commit the act and neighbors are asked to report the incidents. Prosecution will follow, street department officials have promised. The trash blows over the streets and neighboring lawns and creates quite a nuisance. All residents are urged to discontinue the practice. o o—— One of the county's worst automobile tragedies was recorded early Friday morning on U.S.

The ! tragedy is sickening, and it is an expensive way of driving home the lessbn of safe driving. Let us hope that the result will have a sobering effect cm every auto driver in the state. o—o— Every independent drive for funds such as Red Cross, Cancer Society, Crippled Children, Heart Fund and others have failed to meet their goal this year. It isn’t that people are becoming disinterested in their neighbor, but rather it is that almost every week of the year, some organization has a national drive for funds with which to operate. Isn’t it about time that we, as citizens start our own drive to support just the Community fund drive and permit that fund to allocate its money in a fair manner to 1 all groups. If we as citizens do this and if we are joined by merchants who will refuse to permit the independent groups the privilege of setting out cannisters, we soon would have one strong fund raising group and the system would do away with all the independent drives which are constantly being pushed off on us and which are failing in their purposes. »'■ .

~ SYNOPSIS _ I Doctor Crady Barton, on vacation from a large hospital in Chicago, stops tor gas at the small tows of Green Holly. Wisconsin,^ and runs into an emergency. Frank Heddens, long-time resident of the town, is stricken with a high blood pressure attack at the station and Grady ,comes to his aid. Seddens is Impressed with the young doctor’s ability and asks him to consider a practice tn 'he town, which is without a doctor, t is a tempting offer—Grady 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 Itfe. Grady returns to Chicago and his job as admissions physician. He is unhappy with the duty because of the amount of paper work involved. After a few days. Grady receives from Seddens an invitation to be interviewed by the town committeemen. At the meeting at the Seddens home, a prejudiced, aggressive man called Kopp says that the doctor of their choice should be a settled man with a family. Grady replies hastily: “I am married." Grady accepts the position and starts practicing in bis new office. He is called out on an emerEcncy case and finds that his patient i a badly burned child. CHAPTER 10 AT Grady’s approach a tall, blonde woman moved away from the bed on which lay the little girl—she was about five — and her clothing had been cut or torn from the badly burned areas of her arms and upper body. “Are you the mother?" he asked the blonde girt “No. I’m the sitter. There’s the mother." She nodded toward a dark-haired young woman who stood terrified at the foot of the bed. “Tell me what happened." Grady was opening his bag; he asked for a clean bowl or basin. It seemed that she was the sitter, really, for the people next door. “My name is PearL I was taking care of the kids over there —they have a baby, and Debby. Today was Debby's birthday, so we asked Judy—that’s Judy—" she indicated the weeping child on the bed “—to come over’and have a piece of cake. She did, and then the kids put on their wraps and went out to play in the yard. J tidy has a cold ..," “Oh, fine!” groaned the doctor, going back to his patient, swabbing out the basin with antiseptic, pouring his saline solution into it, breaking open a pack of sponges. “Go on,” he Instructed Pearl. “Well, somehow, .the kids got hold pf some matches and they lit * 'em. Judy had this big handkerchief pinned, to her dress and it caught on fire. The fire went to her coat and her dress. She began to scream and to ran. I heard the racket and went out. I caught her and brought her inside. I didn’t know what to do, but I dumped her in the bathtub and turned on the water. I tore off her clothes and splashed the water on her — . "You’re very much a heroine, Pearl," said Dr. Barton, bending over the child on the bed. He put a thermometer into Judy’s mouth and examined the burned surface, closely studying the puckered, whitened flesh: both arms, the

• —— Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE 8 — Q. I returned home three weeks ago from a two-months vacation trip, and now my friends seem perturbed because I didn't call them. Isn’t it their position to call, me and welcome me back? A. There isn’t any set rule, but I should think it would be more reasonable for you to call your friends any say, "I’m back.” Q. Is it proper for a woman to refer to her husband by his last name, as, "Barnes” or “Smith,” instead of as “Dick” or "Bob”? A. This sounds rather coarse and ill-bred to me. Q. Is it proper for file mother of the bridegroom to give a shower for her future daughter-in-law? A. Since she is- not yet “immediate” family, this would be all right -r especially if there are ho other showers being given. Q. When Mrs. Gordon has been

child’s chest and her right side. Judy’s sobs came in gasps now and were fainter. ... He considered his supply of dressings and nodded. Yes. He had enough. But he wanted some blood—some was probably available, but he’d have to type. Wen, the first thing was to apply the pressure dressings, administer toxoid and then, probably, send the child to a blood aupply. She was going into shock. He tied on a mask and put on gloves. "Win you help me, Pearl?" he asked. “Oh, sure. What... Together, he and Pearl applied the bandages, the doctor’s hands swift and firm, with relief instant to the child. He hung a bottle and started plasma dripping Into the vein, then he went out to talk to the mother — and to the father, who had come home from the school where he taught. ’1 think we must take Judy to the nearest hospital,” he said, explaining about the need for transfusions and the matter of blood cross-typing. “I wish you’d send for that ambulance at once," said Grady to the father, and he went back to his patient Within five minutes the ambulance was at tne door. The doctor phoned the hospital and told the surgeon there what he had already done for the child. "Are you going to attend her, Doctor?" asked the distant voice. "Why—yes. I’ll come right away." So, now, he would have hospital affiliation. He packed his bag, phoned to his office and told Mrs. Ball to send the patients home. He paused long enough to give her an account of his emergency. Judy’s parents had gone with the child in tlie ambulance. Now the doctor asked Pearl if she would like to ride along With him. "I’m hired to stay with the kids next door ..." But one of the neighbors said that she’d take over until the mother got home —and Pearl gratefully got into the doctor’s car. "I sure love kids,” she told him earnestly. He smiled at her. He liked the big blonde. She was a pretty gill, some of the time. Especially when her face was in repose. When she talked or laughed, her mouth was too large and her teeth too prominent Her name, she said, was Pearl Broni—and she liked baby sittin*. She did cleanin’, too, for certain folks. '•Would you do cleaning for me?" the doctor asked. “You need somebody?" "Both in my home and in the office. I also need someone to answer the phone and do other things in the office.” “Why, Doc, I guess I’d like that work. The cleanin’. I’m too dumb for the office work.” "You could try it and see " “Na.” she said firmly. "Better

Introduced to a person and that person persits in addressing her as "Mrs. Jordan," should Mrs. Gordon correct her? A.

"Gee, Doc, I'm glad you’re here!* He smiled at her. "So am I, Pearl,” he assured her. And thereon began a beautiful friendship. Their destination was a small hospital in a town of 20,000 people situated halfway between the Hollies and Madison. The Elmore Memorial Hospital was administered by a board consisting of members of the family who had put up half the money and citizens of the town which had contributed the rest The hospital staff was made up of three local doctora The building was new. The lab was small, but sufficient They had X-ray service—and the whole thing was thirty-five miles from Grady’s office. He saw Judy Installed, and the first transfusion under way. A newspaper reporter came with a camera to take the child’s picture with Peatl at her bedside. On the way home, Grady bought Pearl some barbecued ribs and pie at a diner, and dropped her at the house where he’d first seen her. • • • Life was settling down into a very pleasant pattern. He had a Comfortable home; he had patients; some of them paid their fees as they left his office. And now he had Pearl to keep him clean and comfortable. He had friends. And, finally, he met "the girl.* He had been in the Hollies for a full two weeks when he was invited to dinner at Judge Cowan’s home. Pearl, who lived rear the roots of the grapevine, tipped him off that this would be what she called a "swell" party. Grady, with the street address in mind, had decided that the judge must live in the big yellow brick mansion on Lake Street—with the "girl’s" home two wide lawns lakewatd from it. He was, mistaken. That night, he found cars lined up before the white picket fence, and lights burning beside the front door of the identical white house which be had studied and admired on his first walk about Green Holly. His hat and coat and gloves were taken by a white-jacketed houseman who was a dead ringer for the Seddenses’ John. Standing in the wide hall, Grady could look into a gracious living room, see a white marble fireplace, pink roses in a Wedgwood bowl—and the girl who stood beside Cowan. The girl! Judge Cowan’s daughter. June. (To Be Continued}

Sen. Humphrey Reports On Trip To Middle East

Editors: Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) toured the Mideast on assignment from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to take a first-hand look and study of the situation in that area. He to chairman of the committee's subcommittee on Near Eastern and African affairs. In .the following dispatch, written for the United Press, Humphrey reports on some of his findings in the twoweek tour. By Sen. HUBERT H. HUMPHREY Written For The United Press JERUSALEM, Israel (UP) — Almost everybody knows what the problems of the Mideast are but nobody’s yet been able to put together the answers to these problems. A two-week trip through the area obviously cannot provide the answers. It has, however, provided two things: First, the discovery that people in the area do not spend all their time hating each other. They, like we, are interested in constructive things. They are developing their economies. There is a reawakening. Second, a somewhat better understanding of why some people in the Mideast feel as strongly as they do about some of the problems. When one flies low over the Nile delta of Egypt, for example, and sees the absolute contrast between land which is irrigated and land which is not, he more fully comprehends the enormous pressure in Egypt for the Aswan high dam which would greatly increase the irrigated area. Important Factor: Water When one sees the miserable conditions of the Arab refugee camps, he realizes more than-be-fore why there can be no real peace in the Mideast until the refugee problem is settled. When one sees the economic progress, the drive and vigor of Israel and its relatively superior military strength as compared with the poverty, disease and relatively inferior military strength of most Arab states, he better understands why some Arab leaders express fears of Israeli expansion. Finally, when one sees the desolate Negev, the great southern desert of Israel, and when one learns that Israel expects 100,000 immigrants this year, he better understands why the Israelis are so insistent on irrigation of the Negev. The care and use of water is an ever-present topic of conversation. . Although one usually thinks of

oil in connection with the Mideast, the fact is that water is at least as important as oil if not more so. Water is no respecter of international boundaries. The Nile, Jordan, and Tigris-Euphrates all are international rivers and if maximum use is to be made of their waters it must be done under some kind of international arrangement. The Refugee Problem So far, international agreements in regard to water in the Mideast have been virtually impossible to negotiate. Perhaps some consideration might now be given to a new approach in the form of a regional development agency established under the United Nations but operating independently through a board of directors representative

of the various interests concerned. Such an agency could not only supply capital and construct projects; it could also operate the projects and provide the technical assistance which is so badly needed if the capital projects are to be of maximum benefit. It is only through economic development projects of this kind that the refugee problem may be settled. The resettlement of refugees is one of the essentials of lasting Mideast peace. Resettlement and economic development go hand in hand. There are many immediate political difficulties in the way but this can be said of any proposal as far as the Mideast to concerned. And a new approach cannot be any more unsuccessful that those which have been tried in the past. More important, we must keep trying—keep searching for the answers. The stakes are high: Peace or war—freedom or communism.
