Next big holiday is Fourth of July. o 0 Construction has started on several new homes in Decatur and contractors believe they will have as big a season this year as last. Several new homes are being completed in Stratton Place and another dozen are under construction in other parts of Decatur. Flowers are in full bloom in many local gardens and the spring beauties will continue to decorate the gardens for several weeks now. Spring rain;'and cold weather delayed the season but did not spoil the growth of many species. In another few weeks the later flowers will appear and most gardens will be blooming now until kite fall. Q O Summer hours have been established for the Youth and Community Center, and include every day of the week except Mondays. The recreation board wisely, feels that the Young people of the Community should have the fine recreation center open as many hours and as many days as is possible. The board is continuing its screening of applicants for the director’s post and indications are that a permanent director will be named soon. In the meantime, meeting and dining facilities are available as usual. O o - - - Many people of the Decatur area’ as-e getting ready to visit the hundreds of Indiana lake resorts. Many wiU regain until school terms start next fall. Before you leave for the summer, you will save lots of money if you visit the Decatur stores for your varibus vacation needs. Merchandise, as a rule, can be purchased at much lower prices right here at home. Most resort centers get from ten to fifty percent more for comparable merchandise and foodstuff. Be wise and have the big savings to enjoy during your vacation. Trade in Decatur.

The state highway commission will be compelled to prove to the Federal government,, that it is clean and honest before it can handle any of the billions of dollars to be spent in national highway building and improvement. That is certainly logical, because of the terrible thievery which has been uncovered in the Indiana highway set-up. o o— ..... Bill- McColly, Decatur high school instructor and new baseball coach is making a good name in the semi-pro field with a Fort Wayne baseball team. Bill is a former member of the Milwaukee Braves farm system and came to the Decatur school system a year ago from Wisconsin. He has made many friends here and should fit well into Decatur high school’s athletic system. He has won a regular berth with the Allen Dairy semi-pro team which last year won the world title in the semi-pro loop. o o— Many Congressional members are going to be hard to convince that the present proposed federal budget should be passed in its entirety merely because President Eisenhower between golf games and vacations, wants it so. He has discovered that other people are just as interested in the welfare of the nation and just as well versed. The proposed budget will meet some difficulties until it is shaved down to a point where the people believe they cjb K raise the money. o o — Benny Hooper, the New York state lad who fell into a well his father was drilling and was saved after being in the hole for more than 24 hours, is being feted by television and radio stations. The lad has indicated that he would rgther be back in school and cer- * tainly it isn’t fair for the parents to cash in on his terrible ordeal. We are all glad that he was saved but it seems that there should be a federal law to stop the promotions on the boy’s good fortune.

When a secretary is escorting an unexpected visitor into her employer’s office, what form of introduction does she make when she knows the two men concerned do not know each other? A. All she has to do is merely announce the visitor — “Mr. Johnson.” Surely the visitor knows the name of the person he came to see. Q. If a girl becomes engaged, and she has no family, would it be all right for her fiance’s family to announce the engagement? A. No. The bride-elect always has Uiis privilege, and her best means of extending the “good news” is through the local newspaper. Q. Should a girl smoke her own cigarettes when going out with a boy, or should she smoke his? A. Either way is correct. Q. How may a woman know whether or not to offer her hand to a man when being introduced? A. There is no rule for this. It is altpgther optional with the woman. She may remember, however, that the preferred hand is her way of showing sincere and genuine pleasure over the introduction.

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL A Call for Doctor

CHAPTER 23 MO CHRONISTER picked up the florist’s box, and when tbq red car pulled up behind the police car he was the one to step forward and greet the somewhat apprehensive young couple. They could be honeymooners. The girl was no more than twenty, the young man older, but both were considerably flustered. Mo welcomed them effusively, turning on all his charm. “We represent the Hollies Lions Club,” he announced to all Concerned. "Tonight is our annual stunt dinner, and you have been selected to be our guests, not only for the banquet, but to stay overnight Sd accept the gifts which we ve for you. As an earnest of what we have in mind, it is my pleasure and honor to present the UtUs lady with this orchid." He bowed and held out the box. The girl took it, after a glance at the young man to see if he approved. “Why," she said faintly, “thank you very much." Mo went on to list the entertainment in store for the young people. Ade luxe cabin at the motel, their car serviced, oil and gasoline supplied— and a long list of "gadgets and things to be presented at the banquet, with appropriate plugs for the donora" “I thought you were chairman,” June murmured to Grady Rartnn “1 am. But you know Mo — and let him alone. He’s doing all right." Mo was doing all right Now he iy was making a production of introducing the Lions and their ladies. ’’l’m Fred Reynolds,” the pleas-tnt-facfed young man said. "And this is your blushing bride!" boomed Mo. “Ten miles Sown the road, we spotted you. Dur powerful radar took up a trail of rice and rose petals.” Again the young people exranged glances. "That’s some radar you have,” irawlcd the young woman. She was a small, slender girl, with black hair cut urchin style. "T’U pay a dime for every grain es rice you find in our car,” offered Fred Reynolds. “What are you quoting on Hushes?” asked Mo. "They’U bring a quarter." “If they are honeymooners," Grady heard Ruth Lee say to June, “they are making a good job of not admitting it." "Let's get this show on the road, Mo,” said Grady, going up to that noisy young man. And within ten minutes the doctor’s ear was following the red one of their guests, MS and Virginia

Plan Inspection 01 Mail Boxes Annual Program Os Improvement Fixed The annual rural mail box improvement program will be observed this year for a 2-week period beginning June 3. The pro-S-am has been broadened to inude boxes located within the city limits as well as those located in the rural areas. In Decatur, over 150 families receive their mail by rural carrier delivery in those sections ot the city where sidewalks or paved streets are not prowledThe post office department stresses the fact that rural matt boxes which are improperly erected or in unserviceable condition retard delivery of mail and expose it to the weather. Rural patrons are asked to provide suitable receptacles, erected and maintained for easy and safe accessibility, presenting a neat appearance, and affording protection to the mail. Names of the box owners should be inscribed on the side of the box visible to the carrier with block type letters at least one inch high, and boxes and supports should be kept painted. '' When two or more boxes are grouped at one point, or the boxes are not directly in front of the residences, the names and addresses of the owners must be on the front of This applies especially to boxes lorated on city streets. The six rural carriers of the Decatur post office deliver mail to 1859 families, an average of nearly 310 families per. carrier. Delivery time, on the route, tor a typical carrier requires five hours. This means that driving time, including delivery, runs a box per minute. Boxes with sticking doors, loose posts, leaning posts, etc., slow up the progres of the carrier and sometimes causes injury to him. Patrons are reminded that in addition to helping a carrier do his job in speed- ' ing mail on his route, a properly set mail box also adds to the appearance and value of the patron’s home site. At the end of the two week , period from June 3 through June 17, all carriers will report the total improvements that have been made on their routes,. These reports will be forwarded to the operations manager of the post office department by the local postmaster. > »

now naing wiui me strangers. On the way to the hall where the dinner would be served, June and the Lees and Grady summed up what little information they had concerning the Fred Reynoldses. The girl’s name was Julia —they came from Minneapolis, or near by—and June suggested to Grady that the girl might want to change her clothes before being photographed as their guest of the evening. The girl was wearing a camel’s hair coat over a knitted dress of dull green. They pulled up at the hall and saw that Mo was already marshaling his guests indoors, flash guns popping. It turned out that Julia Reynolds definitely did want to change, and within ten minutes she appeared in a smart costume of brown and gold, her orchid on her shoulder, her short hair brushed into a black satin cap. “Now," she said, “you can take my picture!" The members and their guests crowded delightedly around the two strangers, Mo still acting as master of ceremonies. "Isn't your tongue tired?” asked June, coming up to where Grady leaned against the waif, watching what went on. He grinned. "Entertaining an ideaf* he murmured. "Can I help?" He stood looking at her for a tong minute. She was such a pretty girl—tonight she wore a shiny sort of white dress; it had : a demure jacket held snug with twinkly buttons, and a stiff, flar- ’ tag skirt. There was pleased animation in her pretty face, and genuine interest He sighed. “Tejl me,” tie asked, ’’that dress Jul® ■ is wearing—is it rather sophisi ticated for a bride’s trousseau?” June turned and stood on tip- . toe to look again at the guest of the evening; she was in a group of people now going through the opened doors into the dining room. About a all she could see i was the back of their honor- : guest’s cropped head, her bare shoulders and arms. i “It’s an Indian print,” she told Grady. "Copper on black — very handsome — and yes, aophistii cated is the word. But brides could, I suppose, have such clothes.” , He laughed. “My notions of 1 such garments are rose-cdlored I and floaty." "1 always suspected that you were a sentimentalist,” June told 1 him, laughing, and going along I with him to the dining room. The guests of honor would be seated with the club officers at the head table. Grady*s committee

Tranquilizing Drugs Aid Mental Patients Shorten Patients* Stay In Hospital Tranquilizing drugs have shortened the stay of patients and greatly reduced the loss through destruction of property at Logansport State Hospital in the last two years. Dr. John Southworth, superintendent of the hospital, said the average length of hospitalization of patients before their discharge has been cut almost in half. Southworth said the destructiveness of the more disturbed patients has been reduced so that a 68 per cent drop in the number of panes of glass broken and a 33 per cent decrease in linen loss was effected. Patients no longer receive the insulin treatment since tranquilizing drugs were used beginning in May, 1955. Electrotherapy shoe* treament has been reduced 58 per cent and hydrotherapy 40 per cent. Less Restraint, Seclusion There also has been a substantial decline in the use of restraint and seclusion for patients, southworth said. Use of the tranquilizers has stepped up the discharge rate to the point where the hospital no longer faces the problem of more admissions than discharges in a given year. For the fiscal year 1954-55 there were 964 admissions and 875 discharges, for a net gain of inmates of nearly 100. In the 1955-56 fiscal year, there were 990 admissions and 1,122 discharges, a net loss of 132. Southworth reported that in 1954, a total of 1,260 panes of glass had to be replaced because patients broke them. In 1955, it dropped to 563. In 1956, the total was only 396. Benefit Other Patients The number of discharges for each 1,000 patients jpmped from 69.9 in 1954 to 147.2 in 1955 and 198.5 in 1956. Southworth said the tranquilizing drugs have a beneficial effect on other patients as well as on those to whom they are given, many others, he said. ConseA few highly disturbed patients may have an adverse effect on many others, he said. Consequently, they are helped when the more disturbed are kept under control. Officials found the discharge rate was even more startling for patients iir residence at the institution for less than a year. The number per 1,000 of these patients jumped from 187.3 in 1954 to 796.8 in 1956.

jod was just aoout over ana aane, except to read the list ot gifts to be showered upon the young couple. Mo bustled up to suggest that he should sit at the head table to do this . . . Grady demurred. The seating was all arranged; he was nearby. "Nobody’s got ’em to admit they are honeymooners." said Mo loudly. *‘Hey! That gives me an idea. Watch me have some Cun." The tables were set to form an extending E from the head table, Grady’s committee sat at the one forming the middle prdng. Now Mo could turn and by lifting his voice get the attention of their young guests. "Hey, Reynolds!” he called. “How many kids do you and the missus have?” “Oh, now, look!" cried Reynolds, But red gamed into Julia’s face and throat, a painful, hurting blush. “Let them alone, Mo," June urged the big man. "Only havin’ fun,” he excused himself. Everyone was seated with a great scraping of chairs, and the food was brought in, hot and savory. “That blush tied it," declared Mo. “They’re honeymooners all right.” “If they’re married at all," murmured Grady. “What do you mqan. Doc?" demanded Mo, leaning across the table toward him. “Nothing, maybe.” Grady seemed ready to talk to June rather than pursue the subject which he bad dropped like a chunk of Ice down the back of Mo's awareness. "But you said—” . “Oh, it was only a guess, Mo. I suppose these affairs present some risk. Unless you begin by asking for marriage certificates and identification of respectability .. . and we don’t. At least, iye didn’t tonight.” Mo leaned back to look at Grady across the spread ferns and the pink carnations. June too looked curiously at the doctor beside her. Was he serious? Or joking? And Mo sounded upset. “Now, look here, Doc ...” •T know," agreed Grady, “the patrolman said he thought they were honeymooners — and we carried it on. But from the firsl Reynolds has denied this ...” “Julia has," corrected Virginia The Lees were leaning forward too. Was their committee on dangerous grounds? Tomorrow, tn Chapter 24: “Gentlemen, we’re in trouble!” Mo tells his fellow Lions.

Most Grain belt poultry raiaera recognize that Puqna Concentrates have the quality and ingredients to,grow sturdy, big-framed pullets. But not all realize that Purina Chow efficiency often makes it much lower in feeding cost than feeds with cheaper price tags. * The comparison in the table above shows the important difference’* in number of pounds of feed needed to grow out Purina pullets, compared with the average in 9 leading poultry states. Rather than to claim the full amount of saving shown in this comparison, the Purina Research staff rounded off the figures to 250 pounds less Purina Chow for light breeds, and 400 for heavy breeds. This saving of feed increases the
