It is estimated that more than eight hundred thousand people died of heart and circulatory ailments during the past year. —-o- ■ -o— There have been fewer fires and much less odor from the city* dump recently, since the new control method has been placed in service. Occasionally there is a flare-up of fire accompanied by smoke, but the fire is quickly extinguished. Maybe at long last a control method has been adopted which will work. Let’s hope so. o—o If you heat your home with gas, you will be the winner if you let your pilot light remain burning all summer, according to many heating experts. For the few pennies a month, you are assurred a dry basement, heat if and when needed and longer life for your entire heating unit. The cost of operation through the summer months is negligible. —-o * General Electric at Louisville, Ky., plans to furlough 1,000 workers in its home refrigerator manufacturing plant for an indefinite period, starting next week. Officials announced that lack of sales of home refrigerators made necessary a complete revamping of that division. This action is not general in the electrical manufacturing .field, but merely a shift to the manufacture of numerous other appliances. ——o o—- . Building activity by the City should take up any labor slack this summer. Construction will get underway before long on the sewage treatment plant and also on the building necessary to make connections by the electric system with I and M. These improvements along with the regular normal building should employ just about every body who wants to work. o—o The weather has not been very conducive to the popular game of golf this spring, but interest is high at the local golf course and each afternoon the more rugged golfers appear, rain or shine for a round. The local course is in excellent condition, and once we get decent weather, indications are that the local grounds will be crowded with players.

Dave Beck, top man in the huge teamsters union has been expelled as a vice-president of AFLCIO and stripped of all authority, for his alleged manipulating of union funds. This is at least a start in the clean-up of organized labor. There are many fine men in the labor movement and because one man is branded a thief, does not mean that the long years of work and devotion to the movement are lost. Labor will come back strong and while the lesson was a costly one, it will be valuable to those great leaders as they mend together a new faith in the working man. —o——o Many Decatur merchants will take part in the first annual Merchants' Showcase, to be held at the Youth and Community Center on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 4 and 5. Feature of the two day event will be a chicken barbecue and tickets will be sold for the meal at $1.50 each. The rest of the program will be free. Participating merchants will have various items on display and the Showcase exhibit in the main auditorium will be open on both nights until 9 o’clock. No charge will be made except for the dinner and the public is invited to come and see the thousands of dollars worth of new merchandise to be shown. Many gifts will be distributed during the event. o o Thirteenth street, which is U.S. highway 27 through the edge of Decatur is becoming rough and the surface might break down in many spots if a resurface is not placed on it soon. Other portions on the highway are in fairly good condition northward. To the south some repair work is needed. o o Many Adams county fishermen are taking advantage of the closeness of Lake Erie, which is about 140 miles to the east and are spending week-ends in that popular section of Ohio. Sandusky and Port Clinton are the popular fishermen’s headquarters and there is a stretch along Lake Erie there where fishing is usually excellent. Boats and outboards can be rented at various fishing camps and guides are available. There are boats of all sizes and you’ll enjoy a good fishing trip if you try this territory, so close to home.

No Real Decline In Business Foreseen Temporary Period Os Adjustment Seen BLOOMINGTON (UP)—A temporary period of adjustment in the nation’s business activity will continue through most of 1957 but there will be no real decline, the Indiana University 1 business research bureau said today. The bureau reported in its monthly publication that "business activity has moved forward at a rapid rate ever since the recovery from the 1953-54 recession, and there is now a need for correction and realignment between the sectors.” "Spending of government groups is expected to increase enough to offset any decline in other areas, such as steel production, residential construction, and sale of new automobiles,” the publication said. Experts said the pace of inventory accumulation will remain relatively slow for a time but continued consumer demand probably

CHAPTER 18 p\R- Barton opened the front L/ door of the Kopp farmhouse and went into the narrow nail, down its length toward the lighted transom. The hall was icy cold, as it had been on Christmas night—and it smelled of a hundred lingering odors, none of them pleasant. In contrast, the dining room seemed hot. The stove was going full blast, and the smell of menthol was rancid in the steamy air. Pearl came toward him, her blue eyes wide with terror, her big mouth gabbling a dozen messages. She was alone —Oh, Miz Kopp—but she wasn’t no good—and the baby was bad—old man Kopp was away— and do something, Doc! Do somethin' quick! The doctor knew for himself that he must do something, and quick, for the sound of the child’s breathing, hlq efforts to breathe, filled the dining room and the small bedroom adjoining. Grady set his bag on the table under the swinging light bulb, he shucked out of his jacket, put on his forehead mirror and nodded to Pearl who led the way to the crib where the struggling child lay. In a dark corner of the room, Mrs. Kopp, the grandmother, sat huddled into a low rocker, her fingers plucking at her apron, her black eyes beady. With a low mdan of protest, Grady gathered the child, mattress. blanket and all, and took him out to the table. He had sterile instruments. “Boiling water." he said to Pearl.

“Got a kettle full on the kitchen range. Doc . . .?” Her voice shook with tear. Grady nodded. “Where’s Kopp?” he asked, as he reached for the tube which he had brought, and a scalpel. “Oh, he went into the country about some property he owns.” Only this afternoon Kopp had told Grady that the child “still had a cold.” While tonight . . . The baby Was suffocating, his eyes were already rolled .back m his head and his lips were blue: “Get hold ot Kopp,” Grady barked directions to Pearl. “Or the parents in Detroit. Tell the operator: she’ll find them. I want their consent for surgery.” A moving shadow at the door attracted his attention. With his one hand massaging the baby’s throat apd chest, Grady turned. “Mr#. Kopp,” he said in a clear voice, speaking slowly, “will you agree to my doing such surgery « Ss 1 might find necessary to sav? this child’s life?” r .MntKopp stared at,the doctor.The woman’s tips parted, closed —then she spoke slowly, falteringly. "Can't .take no stand,” she said, “without the mister."

will force shops to fill their shelves and prevent any cumulative inventory recession. 8 — 11 Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 8 Q. Is it improper for a manto tell a woman friend that her slip is showing? A. This is quite all right, if there is a place where she can go to fix it. Otherwise, it would be more thoughtful if he keeps quiet about it to avoid making her feel uncomfortable. Q. Since I do not drink alcoholic beverages, what am I supposed to do a wedding dinner when a toast is drunk to the bride? A. You hold the drink which has been poured for you in your hand, lift it when the toast is made, and then put it down at the first opportunity. Q. Is it a matter of etiquette for a new father to give out cigars and candy to his friends? ' A. There are no rules of etiquette regarding this. It’s just an old widespread American custom.

This effort seemed to endow her t with some courage: she crept toe ward the table. "Could you maybe —” her gnarled forefinger - crooked toward Grady—"run your y finger down his throat—bring up s the stuff?" Grady shook his head. It was f too late—for that sort of attempt The baby's limbs had stiffened, x and he picked up his knife. His , fingers moved so swiftly that it . was not until the sound of air whistled through the inserted j tube that Pearl realized what he ’ meant to do, what he had done. ’ She gazed at him adoringly. , "Oh, Doc!” she sobbed. "Oh, . Doc!" , Grady lifted his hand for si- . lence. He was using his stethor scope. Dramatic as its result was, ' tonight a tracheotomy would not J be enough. • He straightened and told. Pearl ’ that a little more surgery was • needed. “We’ve got to clear eway ! the obstruction—whatever it is,” ' "Oh, Doc!” she whispered, ; frightened again. • “It’s his only chance. Pearl. ’ Now straighten up, I’ll need your 1 help.” „ ’ "I'm too excited!" Her hands 1 clenched, and she looked at him • imploringly. “So am 1 excited,” said Grady, ' spreading a towel and setting out 1 the instruments he would need. Pearl’s excitement took the • form of talk, and she chattered like a magpie. Grady paid no ■ heed to ner. The only time tie 1 made a sound was when ne brought out the quarter which had been there all the time, now dark and slick and unpleasant ' to see, to handle. But Grady was delighted to get the quarter. > Os course by now the thing I had made tts trouble. The child's I lungs were congested, the bronchi involved — the doctor could do ' only the best he could. While ten days ago the coin could nave I been detected, removed, and 1 within twenty-four nours the baby would have been as good as new. But tonight ... He worked for an hour, then he took the child to his crib and erected »the oxygen tent which be had brought with him, adjusted the small tank. It was too late. Grady was sure that it was too late. Everything he had done was too late —and yet a doctor did what he could, when allowed. A few minutes before midnight, Kopp came In. banging into the kitchen, his voice rasping against the ears of the silent maii who sat beside the baby’s crib. As Kopp reached the bedroom door, Grady turned his head, asm .cigar!” ■sharply. SO sharply that Kopp did step back and lay his cigar upon the stove in the dining room. Then he came charging in-

to the bedroom, his jaw pushed forward belligerently. “What goes on here?” he demanded loudly. Grady felt a surge of pity. Kopp was scared, and fear expressed itself tor him in bluster and noise. He came over to the crib and squatted to peer through the tent's window. “Who called you?” he demanded of Grady. "And who in God’s name told you to cut?" Grady was on his feet. “Get out of my way!" he said, Denying over the crib, a syringe in his hand. It was no good. All he had done was no good. In that same minute, little Gregory died, even as they watched him. “I’m sorry," sighed the doctor. “I’m sorry.” For a moment there was no sound at all in the room, tn the house, then all at once, sound burst out everywhere. Kopp cursed and roared, blaming everyone, demanding punishment for everyone, vowing vengeance. Pearl sobbed aloud. Mrs. Kopp, throwing her apron over her face, keened wordlessly, tike a dog howling at the moon. Only Grady was silent. He folded the oxygen tent, set it and the tank to one side. He straightened the small, convulsed limbs, closed the eyelids, spread the blanket smoothly and turned to leave the room. Now nis hands —his fingers—trembled as he repacked trts surgical bag, zipped it and carried it across the room to put it with the.'rest of his equipment. Moving' deliberately, unhurriedly, ne came back to the table where the unshaded light bulb threw tts circle of radiance and cast thg corners of the room into brown shadow. D#ath was ugly in this home, without dignity. Loss and heartbreak were voiced to angry recrimination. » “He was my only grandson, and ya had to kill him. Doc!" With a real effort, Grady lifted his head. "1 tried to warn you. Mr. Kopp." On a piece ot gauze lay the quarter, black with tarnish. Grady turned to pick it up, but Kopp’s hand caught at his shoulder. "You dassed me, Doc!" he screamed in frenzy. “You dassed me, and 1 took your dass! Then, first chance you get, you come out here and kill that boy! You knew I’d be gone—l told you 1 was goin' off when 1 seen you this afternoon. Never dreamin that you’d come out here and kill that baby. But you did—and I’ll git you, for It if it’s the last thing 1 ever do!" Barton must ‘ summon bis courage for a special visitor Monday, when Chapter 19 continues.
