Business has shown some recovery generally, but experts believe now that 1957 will not be as good a year generally as 1956 was. If it tapers off slow, and if wages, and cost of living go down hand in hand, there isn't anything to worry about Big trouble comes when wages or cost of living either get out of hand and slide faster. If this happens. Look out • The Chicagoland Fair and industrial exposition, scheduled for Navy Pier at Chicago from June 29 to July 14 promises fun for the whole family. The exposition features commerce and industry, but there will be plenty of entertainment to add the flavor of a great fair. Interested persons can get full information by writing Chicagoland Pair, 1 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, asking for complete brochures. —♦—o— —• Another theft of public funds is being uncovered In Illinois. This time it is Chicago and this time Democrats are involved. This huge shortage in the Cook county treasurer’s office should be thoroughly investigated and the guilty should certainly receive punishment. A thief is a thief, regardless of politics and a person who steals from the public, while entrusted with money belonging to the people is one of the worst types of thief.

It should be a great occasion. ■" O' o-- — The people of Decatur join the members of the Decatur Rotary club in congratulating Clarence Ziner of this city on his election as Northern Indiana district governor of Rotary International. The Decatur man has been active in Rotary and other civic, lodge and church organizations for many years. He has been an officer in the Anthony Wayne area Boy Scout organization and has assisted in many civic drives in Decatur and Adams county. In bis new post, Mr. Ziner will have the .privilege of visiting every Rotary club in the district in the next year. The honor is well deserved and we join his many friends in offering congratulations and continued success for this prominent Decatur business man. —o-—o The FCC has announced that it has power to ascertain if proper, and grant if proper, pay as you see television. Certainly if viewers are asked to pay for most of the stuff coming into our living rooms now, there will be a steady stream of former movie fans returning to the theaters. If we were asked to pay for all the trash and false advertising we are privileged to view, presently we'd surely scream to high heaven and justly so. All the summer reruns and rehashes, the next few months should send lots of lovers of drama and music back to the drive-ins and picture . houses. The American public just won’t take some things even if it is presumably offered free.

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL— A Call for Doctor

CHAPTER 20 “THE morning of the hearing, 1 Grady Barton picked up ludge Cowan and drove over to Holly Neighbors where the courtroom was located. The benches were well-filled with eager spectators. * Judge Cowan led Grady to a chair at the far end of a long, scarred table. Mo Chronister, the prosecuting attorney, spoke to them in the friendliest fashion. Grady’s was the second case called, and he rose quietly to go up to the magistrate’s bench. Judge Cowan went with him. The magistrate read the charge, Grady identified himself and affirmed his Innocence of the charge as filed. Oliver’Cowan was in frequent clashes with the prosecuting attorney, and each time came out the victor. Grady almost forgot how deeply concerned he was in the excitement of watching a fine legal mind at work. Once, however, he did glance at Oren Kopp to see how the man would be taking all this. Kopp looked like a bear, watchful, waiting. He’d filed a charge, he wanted the man arrested and punished. Grady turned back to the sword play going on before the magistrate’s dais. Chronister Was talking. “Now, Mr. Cowan,” he was saying, “you surely are not going to claim <hat you think every surgeon can operate at will, regardless of a family’s wish or Judgment.” "You’re right, Mr. Chronister. I am not going to claim such a thing. However, I am going to point out to you, and to this court, certain aspects of this case which justified the defendant’s act Which required him to act Here we had a child as a patient A child unable to speak for himself, a child needing someone to defend his right—a right to the chance tor life, for living. Failing all else, as all else did fail that baby, the doctor had no choice but to defend that right himself, to give the infant the one chance In a million which he had for life. “The odds were too great—and the baby died. I am certain you would not claim, Mr. Prosecuting Attorney, that the doctor here accused set up those tremendous odds against Gregory Kopp Lohr. The odds of delay and neglect, of stubborn ignorance—” “Can you prove those charges, Judge Cowan?” "I could, but I’ll confine my efforts, to proving that the doctor in question acted according to accepted medical practice. That there was no criminal malpractice wvolvod. Now —" the judge paced

Propose New Area For Girl Scouting All Girl Scouting in »Adams county will be included in the proposed new area jurisdiction which will be comprised of Steuben, DeKalb, Adams, Wells, Allen, and Huntington counties. This is according to a national plan making possible total coverage of the United States, thus eliminating lone troops and. very smill councils which are now without any professional help. Adams county representatives of an area development committee, which has been delegated by the national board of directors of Girl Scouts, are Mrs. R. C. Hersh and Mrs. Wayne Schnepf. These women will work with other committee women from each of these counties in working out details of forming the new council. Mrs. Wayne L. Miller, of Fort Wayne, who has been delegated as chairman of the committee, said that plans are underway to name adult volunteers from each community to finance, structure, mcmbershipFnominating, organization. personnel and legal subcommittees.

Mo vigorously nodded his leonine head. “It occurs,” said Judge Cowan's suave voice, “when the physician does something that the ordinary reputable physician would not do, or when he fails to do something that the ordinary reputable physician would do. “Had my client treated the Kopp infant for croup, without detecting or seeking to remove the coin later found in his windpipe, he would have been liable to; a suit for malpractice on the first charge. When he found that child convulsed and choking to death, had he failed to take his scalpel and open that clogged windpipe —he would have been guilty on the second charge." Judge Cowan continued, and too swiftly for Mo to speak. “Now many patients think a doctor should be able to guarantee results. Actually, all any doctor can do is to treat a patient with his best care and professional ability. There are many diagnostic and therapeutic techniques—” Here Kopp leaned toward Mo and whispered loudly. Mo nodded and rose to suggest to the magistrate that the judge apeak in simpler terms. “I don’t believe,” said Judge Cowan gently, “that the court finds it difficult to understand me. But should you feel the need of a dictionary, Mr. Prosecuting Attorney, I’ll gladly agree to a recess until one is made available to you.” The magistrate rapped his desk for order. Mo chewed his lower Up. “Then,” said Judge Cowan, his face grave, “I shall continue, I was saying that there are many medical techniques in which the calculated risk is considerable. The attending physician must exercise his best judgment as to the method to use and the risk to run. In an emergency, a docs, tor must take immediate action, applying his highly trained and specialized knowledge aus to the proper treatment to use. “It is my contention that no patient has any moral or legal right to accuse the doctor because of the poor result of a treatment. “It is also my contention that our young, and earnest, prosecuting attorney did not properly advise the plaintiff in this charge as to the available processes for examining this situation. He should have told Mr. Kopp — what be surely knew—that the State Medical Society has an established, and available, panel of specialists on whom Mr. Kodd could have

called for an examination of this case and who would have been prepared to testify In court.** **A loaded panel, you mean, made up of the defendant’s col* leagues?” asked Mo coldly. "Your charge that a medical society grievance committee would be loaded indicates to me that you did not seek or obtain such expert opinion.” “I’ve said What I think about your panels,” Mo said stubbornly. "Yes. So you have. Not even knowing that there have been occasions when such a committee has recommended the expulsion of the physician charged, thus allowing the case to become solely one of civil malpractice." "Our charge," said Mo, "is that this case is one of criminal malpractice." "And my opinion is that it is not. A contention which 1 can prove and will prove. Just as I shall prove that my client acted under a circumstance of emergency according to his best medical judgment— and according to accepted medical practice for the circumstances presented to him.” For the next hall hour, Judge Cowan did establish such prdbf. He read from various books. He produced a colored chart diagramming the matter of tracheotomy. Finally he took a clipping from his wallet; he carefully read the newspaper’s name, the dateline: “Chicago, 111., Sept. 27—A two-day-old infant whose breathing is obstructed by a tissue obstruction was rushed from Danville, 111. to Chicago by plane today and placed in an oxygen tent "The patient, David Long, who is breathing through a tube placed in his throat by a physician of Danville, was accompanied . . .** Judge Cowan broke off, and his long forefinger stroked his cheek. "A physician of Danville,” he repeated thoughtfully. Then he turned to Grady. "Would that tube indicate a tracheotomy, Doctor?” “Yes, sir.” “You need not be a surgeon to perform one?” - t .. “No sir. The operation which I performed you could have done with your own pocketknife.” Judge Cowan*' smiled gently. Then he turned to the magistrate. "I would like to call a witness,” he said. The magistrate nodded. "I would like to call Miss Pearl Broni to the stand.” Tomorrow: The trial concludes. Read the outcome tn Chapter 21 in this news-
