Employers in Indiana will soon receive their withholding tax instructions and Gross income tax department heads say the system to be used in Indiana will be similar to the federal plan. Starting July 1, your wages will be cut another one and a half percent which is a fifty percent increase over your present state tax. As Gov. Handley has said “What’s five cents a day?’’ o o— Rain, tornadoes, wind and floodwaters have menaced many sections of Texas in recent weeks. Lives have been lost and property damage has mounted to millions. In everyone of these disasters, the Red Cross has been the first to come to the assistance of the sufferers. Color and creed make no difference. That great organization has done a never-to-be-forgotten job. (1 ——o o It looks as if Gov. Handley is taking out insurance after the barn has burned down in his hiring of a highway expert after several former G.O.P. highway bigwigs have apparently stolen everything but the cement mixer. Evidently he doesn’t have any faith in Chairman John Peters and other members of the highway commission. Everyone should be for the new move if it will result in more of our gas tax money being used for its legal purpose, better highways. o o—•* " The traffic problem is looming as the biggest headache for law enforcement officials.' With the constant increase in the number of:trucks and passenger vehicles oh the highways every day and the terrific power built into new ca£-s, locAl. county and state polite officers are faced with the problem of safety both on the open highways and on city streets. The only way to hope for increased safety is through the use of good common sense by the drivers of the vehicles. This will come either through a steady education program or by an almost impossible 24-hour patrol of every mile of street and highway. If officials are compelled to start wholesale arrests for highway violations, just remember, you are bringing it on yourself. 4

Congress is doggedly fighting the high budget proposed by President Eisenhower and leaders now believe that there will be sufficient savings to warrant some tax relief in the next year. The people should never stop voicing their convictions that the several departments of government could operate efficiently with much less money. This is the only way we’U ever get decent tax relief. o o—— * Congratulations are due to Ted Schrock, Stanley Kirkpatrick and John Dorwin, Decatur high school Seniors who placed in the firgl ten in a recent chemistry examination conducted by American Chemical Society. The Decatur ( entries copped first with Ted Schrock, fourth with Stanley , Kirkpatrick and tenth with John 1 Dorwin. All three young men are ' students under Harry Dailey, veteran science teacher of Decatur i high school. These high honors often pass almost unnoticed in J the wake of other school activit- ’ ies, but they are the backbone of ; a good school system. The Deca- j tar school has received its share . of these citations this year and its fine faculty members deserve ' commendation for their hours of work and encouragement to the students in their efforts. o—o Members of the Decatur School board acted wisely when they agreed to review all angles of the Decatur high school athletic program of the future, following a discussion at last Tuesday’s meeting when nine Decatur high school graduates attended the meeting and made some suggestions. Members were quick to agree that Worthman field needs some fixing up. Lack of adequate rest rooms at the athletic plant has been a source of worry with school officials for some time. No doubt this problem will receive top priority as quickly as possible. The present board is composed of Dr. James Burk, Everett Hutker and George Helm. All three are deeply interested in all phases and depart- - ments of the school city. All are capable and competent business men. If the board follows past » precedents, it is highly likely that a big majority of school patrons will be entirely satisfied with disposition of the current proposals.

8 > Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEI \ Q. When the first course at a dinner party is crabmeat, served either in a tomato or on a lettuce leaf, is the correct implement to use a salad fork or an oyster fork? A. An oyster fork is used if the crabmeat is served in a cocktail glass, and a salad fork is used if it is served on a plate. Q. Is there any rule of etiquette governing the length of marriage engagements? A. No; but long engagements are not so common as they were years ago. The usually accepted length of an engagement today is about six months. Q. Is it proper for a person, who is attending a church of which he is not a member, to remain seated while others kneel? A. This person may very properly lean far forward and bow his heard in prayer.

SYNOPSIS . ' 1 Doctor Grady Barton, on vacation , from a large hospital in Chicago, stopa for gas at the small town of Green Holly, Wisconsin, and runs , into an emergency. Frank Seddens, , 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 i him to consider a practice in the town, which is without a doctor. It 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 life. 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." He accepts the position ottered him and starts practicing in his new office. At a dinner party Grady meets June Cowan, a lovely girl who had made a strong impression in his mind when he bad seen tier on his first visit to Green Holly. Giady thereafter manages to meet her often when she is walking her dog. Candy. But the dog makes a poor chaperone against town gossip. CHAPTER 12 GRADY BARTON was busy, he was happy, he was content Pearl Btoni gave him a few hours each day, and he was doing well domestically and professionally. His first important case, little Judy Nolan, had come along fine. It was a break, he knew, that this early case should have turned out so dramatically well. It made people talk about him, perhaps with an exaggeration of his ability; but that exaggeration would temper with time, and it was a good thing with which to start his work. People liked to dramatize a doctor’s ability, his skill They wanted excessive powers for the man to whom they would trust their lives.

Meanwhile he was liked, too, and could like his neighbors, in turn. He tried to serve them in many ways. He conducted health examinations at the schools, he stilted a well-baby clinic to be held once a month. He did the usual th|ng in advising the children's parents, in coaxing them. Before the PT A, he gave * talk on the value of proper diet In general, the results of these efforts were encouraging, and he was happy about them. He had, in six weeks, become ft, popular man; he was frequently invited out, not only by h|s initial group of friends among those on the committee which had brought him to the Hollies, but by others whom he came to know. Holly Neighbors had a rather gay set of young married people, and he was often included in their, parties. Miss Nellie still kept him under her wing, and he ate a meal at their house about once a week. He had other invitations of various sorts. But he was also busy as a doctor. Os course his main time and effort was taken up with the usual run of colds and digestive upsets, headaches and minor injuries, but he had a fair number of extraordinary eases too, to test his ability as a doctor, and some- i

times to cause him to break out ’ his books. I The town told admiringly i about the night at the movies i when a man had had a heart < attack, and the doctor had saved i his life —right there at the head of the aisle! Calm as anything, he had just taken a little box out of his inside coat pocket, asked ] the usher to hold his flashlight on the man—it was Bob Miller, you know. He’s had a, bad heart for years. Well, Doc was there all ready to give him a shot when he needed it, but bad. I don’t know what we ever did without Doc... Grady knew, or guessed. He knew that his carrying amylnitrite ampoules was a wise thing and helpful to Bob Miller. He’d needed a stimulant right then, otherwise his already weakened heart might not have made it. Grady supposed his performance at the movie had seemed dramatic, and he himself had considered it a lucky break that a routine treatment could have been given under such circumstances. He discussed these problems of differing appreciation with Judge Cowan on one of the frequent visits which the judge made to Grady—dropping in for an hour, Or for ten minutes, to talk, to evaluate just such matters. "A doctor must have a lot of difficult decisions to make,” concluded the lawyer. ”No. He doesn’t,” said Grady. “A doctor must heal and cure — if he can and how he can. There is no other decision ever for him , to make." The judge leaned back to look at the big, stern-faeed man. "You’re not one for compromise, ■ arc you?” I .“I’m not.” Grady smiled and

shrugged. i. = After six weeks, the clinic equipment was pretty well complete. Grady had fpund a high school girl who would come in every afternoon to help him with the laboratory work; he would need to teach her everything from scratch, but eventually she would be a real help. He still wanted an X-ray machine, but he had a good supply now of other equipment and he thought he could hope for the X-ray within a few years. His office hours ■ware well tAkeri up; his house calls tvere sometimes more than he really enjoyed pushing into the time available. Os course the richer people of the community still went to Mayos and to Madison—some of them. He himself sometimes sent patients to those medical centers. The factory at Holly Neighbors used him on a contract basis. He did physical examinations for them and was on call for accidents to the personnel, also to check on such illnesses as were covered by the insurance carried. With 200 men and women employed, this gave Grady a firm and steady income which- was „a cpmfortable thing for a doctor starting out in private practice. I ■ That he was generally popular

* JMjW‘*** l *" ll * Jolly lor, innt The fourth meeting of the Preble Jolly Juniors was held recently at the Preble recreation center. The meeting was called to order by the president, Linda Kruetzman, and pledges were led by Judy and Dick Goldner. Roll call was answered by naming “my favorite state in the United States." The secretary’s and treasurer’s reports were read and accepted, followed by discussion of old and new business. Ruth Ann Beery and Helen Reppert gave a demonstration on making a butter cake. Barbara Conrad, Roger Conrad and Gary Meyers sang a trio, “Boys and Girls for Jesus.” Group singing was then led by Roger Conrad. Refreshments were served by Sylvia and Ava Miller„ after which the meeting was adjourned. Jolly Workers A meeting of the Berne Jolly Workers was held recently at the Berne-French school. Sharon Diehl conducted the meeting, and the pledges were led by Carolyn Yoder. Forty-one members, and- the following leaders were presented for the meeting: Sharon Diehl, Mary Ellen Watanabe, Eleandor Webb. Robert Liechty, Donna Merillet, Kay Thomas, Suie Schindler, and Phyllis Speicher. Eleanor Webb gave a health and fafety report, and the group decided to work to be an honor club. Members were reminded of the pot luck supper to be held at Lehman park in Berne, May IT, at 8 o’clock. Club members are each asked to bring a dish of food. Work and Win Gail Egley, president of the Jefferson Work and Win 4-H club conducted the recent meeting of that organization, which was held at the Jefferson school. Darlene Smitley and Sandre Branstetter led the pledges, and 15 members, two leaders and a gu£st answered roll by naming “my favorite TV star.” The secretary report was given, as was the health and safety lesson, followed by demonstrations on a sewing box, hemming an apron and clothing. The next meeting will be held next Monday

was an unacknowledged break for, the towns, because they hadn’t mulch choice when it came to medical attendance. The only other doctor was Callaburl Stone, a doctor of osteopathy. According to his habit of evaluating a situation, Grady decided that he had just enough competition, just enough adverse opinion available to keep him on his toes and just enough busy-ness and enough leisure-time diversion to keep him content and happy. He took his walks, he _ fished a little, he played some golf and joined the Lions, where indeed he did make friends. He saw June Cowan often, both by chance and by design. They had their walks together: he of- * ten met her by accident on the street or at parties.

She stopped in at his office one day to ask him if he would sing in the church choir, suggesting that he come by for her on the next Wednesday evening and go with her to choir practice. They would let their organist decide if he had a voice or not Actually. Grady had a good, firm baritone, and the Wednesday night date became an established thing. Grady would drive to the Cowans’ home, pick up June, then go on with her for her girl friend, Virginia Spencer, and Virginia’s fiance, Henry Preston, whom Grady also knew through the Lions. After choir practice, the foursome would have a snack at Payne's drugstore or in one of the girls' homes. It was a pleasant arrangement Mo Chronister couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. He said so himself. He didn’t go to church very often either. The new doctor did. People approved of that • • •

The week before Christmas, June found that Grady was not planning to spend Christmas with his wife. When she had asked him, and he had answered somewhat grimly, “No, I don't think I’ll try that,’’ she smilingly invited him to eat Christmas dinner with her and the judge. And Grady gladly accepted. Generally, he thought, people were beginning to wonder about his wife . . . Pearl did. She must Save? There were nostffns of a woman in Grady's home. Pearl decided that Doc’s wife had “left him,’’ because, maybe, he'd chosen to move from the city to a small-town practice. Such gossip as there was about Grady's personal affairs liked Pearl’s story—it explained many things. Doc naturally wouldn't, talk about a woman who’d treated him so. And certainly Doc scarcely ever spoke of his wife. When she was inquired for, his face always took on a sort of tight look—as if he were angry about something. He was angry, ot course. That he had not told the whdlc truth in the first place, that he still had not told it. (To Be Continued J

County Agent's Column 0 —0 Canada Thistle You or your neighbor need no longer tolerate Canada thistle — a perennial farm menace. That’s the word from O. C. Lee, Purdue University extension botanist. who says research has uncovered a chemical that will kill the noxious weed. The chemical, amino triazole, kills the thistles by robbing them of chlorophyll, the green color matter that is essential to plant growth. When applied as a spray to the growing plants it causes them to turn white or pale green in color. Canada thistle plants pick up up amino triazole when it is applied to the leaves and carry it,to all parts of the plant, including the extensive root system. Unlike many other herbicides, it has the ability to kill the roots. Amino triazole now on the market is a 50 percent product, readily soluble in water. About eight pounds of the 50 percent material (4 pounds or actual amino triazole» per acre is required for a good kill of Canada thistles. Best results have been obtained when applied in May when plants are from 12 inches in height to early bud stage. Spraying after the plants are in full bloom or mature has not been satisfactory. If the spray cannot be applied before the bud stage, plants should be moved down. Amino triazole may then be applied on regrowth that occurs after cutting. Such applications are. not as effective as the earlier ones but results usually are worthwhile. Sufflicent water should be used when applying amino triazole to assure adequate coverage of all plants. When field sprayers equipped with a -boom are used to apply the spray, 30 gallons of water per acre should be used. If a spray gun is used, eight pounds of amino triazole in 100 gallons of water is recommended per acre. Small patches may be sprayed with knapsack sprayers. The mixture, which Lee says should be two ounces of amino triazole per gallon of water, should coVer about one square rod. The thistle plants should not be distirbuted by cultivation or cutting for at least seven days after the chemical has been applied. Effective treatments will cause whitening of the plants

which usually accurs some five to six days after the spray is applied. Top growth dies in two to three weeks. It is not uncommon tor new growth to appear from roots throughout the summer after the spray has been applied. Usually this new growth is abnormal, dwarf and off-color and will not survive. Regrowth which appears to be normal in color should be resprayed either this fall or next spring.
