(Editor's noth: As is typical of the Twentieth Century, many changes have been wrought since we last did some editorial work. An apprenticeship having been served, it is only fair to presume an improvement upon our efforts of a year ago. It is safe to assume that we will find those who disagree with our thinking and that is as it should be, for few, of us see all issues in a similar vein. So—with humility and pardpnable apprehension, we shall see what might interest some of you for the next several weeks.) - 0 —- Another week-end in Adams county without a fatal auto mishap. It speaks well for motor law enforcement officials and proves that it pays to drive carefully. Let’s keep it up. o o - Wet weather continues to put a postponed sign at Worthman Field, which remains to be the focal point of recreation activities for our youth. The present warm trend has sent hordes to the pool and the need for newer and larger facilities continues to be magnified. o o Mothers* and Fathers* days now past, how about a Son and/or Daughter Day? Surely other “Days” could be devised to provide an incentive for us to celebrate, to pin-point dur attention and divert us from the problems at band. ————— ■ o ",o— A well-known fishing calendar predicts a good week for the anglers. From past experiences, it is safe to predict that one must find the fist: before much success is to be had. Then, too, only six months till ice-fishing will again be available to the more hardy of those who engage in. •‘piscatorial pursuits.” ii O- O . - With the heavy rains and hot sun, the weed season is imminent It behooves each of us to do*his part to eliminate that which may be objectionable to neighborhoods. Vacant lots should be cut by city employes, and the lot owner billed for the, expense incurred. If city workers are busy elsewhere, perhaps private mowers could be contracted and the city serve as the collecting agency. Regardless of the manner <■ inwhich such is handled, it should be done now!

As usual, it “ain’t” the heat but the intense humidity which bothers most of us. With the super-saturation of water that exists at the present time, we can expect more of the same. Guess we can take it, can’t we? ■■ i o O Three thousand, three hundred miles through six states failed to uncover a town of comparable size that could hold a baton to Decatur. Indifference on the part of clerks, filling station attendants, and eating house personnel was such that one wonders, why stray from Decatur? Our stores, our prices, and courtesies greatly excel those which were found < elsewhere, and the general friendliness found here just won’t be equalled wherever one may go. , Yes, we do have a fine community; let us endeavor to keep it that way. ■ o o-— Southern Indiana has been harder hit by continued rains thaif our corner of the state. Vegetable planting is at a standstill in the Austin-Scottsburg area, and prospects may be dim for those who produce for the canneries. Housewives might do well to anticipate higher prices later in the season and act accordingly. o——o You can always find bargains in Decatur retail stores. If you are planning a vacation or just stocking up for the summer, you’ll save money by reading the advertisements in the Daily Democrat and then getting your needs right here at home, where your merchants are interested in you. Trade in Decatur and watch your dollars go farther. ' O ■■ 0 ' - According to the Automotive News, new car production for June will exceed last years* mark for the same month by 85,000 units. What the second half of the year holds in store for us is a matter of conjecture, but it is a good guess the low ebb of Sep-'* tember, 1957, of 190,000 units will be exceeded during the current year. It is no wonder to us that traffic, with its attendant accidents and deaths, seems to be on the increase. The time is here for new and better highways, yes, even by-ways need improvement as w continue to read of many accidents on county and secondary roads.

ELIZABETH SEIFERTS NEW NOVEL A Call for Doctor

[ CHAPTER 32 GRADY BARTON snatched a plastic cloth from the kitchen table, and spread it atop Mrs. Schmieder’s own soft bed. He helped get the burdened woman out of her heavy coat, he took off her shoes. . I "Thia here’s a Doc,” announced Peart Broni at his shoulder. Grady straightened and stepped to a place against the wall. Dr. Tomyanovic came in and the two men looked at each other. They could hear Mrs. Schmieder advising the anguished father $o sta/ in the living room. "I got two j docs stayin’ with me,” she comforted him. "Yqur And still her “two docs” stared at each other, beginning to realize the horror of their position. 1 They could not; they must not, touch the woman upon the , bed. To save a life, almost anyone could have helped deliver her child. A policeman, the druggist Pearl or Mrs. Schmieder. But not Grady Barton, -M-D. Not Dr. Stanley Tomyanovic, D.P. “Pearl!” said Grady in a loud voice. “I’ll tell you and Mrs. Schmieder exactly what to do." “But, Doc, you’re here, and—” “I’m here. And Pll help you. Now, do what I say, and it will be ail right.” He did what he could. And things were all right It was a routine delivery, though accompanied by considerable pain. But finally, at ten o’clock, the baby was safely born. Pearl took charge of the infant while Mrs. Schmieder, still following Grady’s directions, cared for the mother. A* a final act, Grady carried the woman upstairs to his own room and bed; he would, he said, move to the motel down th*e street for the night . , ~ He talked to the father, particularly instructing him as to the registration of the baby's birth. “But can’t you tend to that Doc?" asked the excited young man. “No. I didn’t deliver the child. It was done under emergency conditions—but the birth has to be registered. And, if I were you, Td move them on to the hospital tomorrow. By ambulance.” Grady shook his head and went out of the house. He had brought his pajamas and toilet kit downstairs With him: now he got his car out and drove to the motel: he went into the small cabin allotted to him and sat down to consider the I events of the stormy night The 1 . Blace was warm enough, but he

shivered as he sat in tne armchair and looked at the somewhat spattered wall beyond the desk and its lamp. In the adjoining cabin, a man and a woman talked loudly: the rain slapped against the roof and the window. On the highway, headlights swooped toward his window; twin red lights dwindled away from it . . . Tonight, would he have held his hand should instruments have been needed to save that young mother's life, and the life of her baby? They had not been needed, but the question still required an answer. The druggist could have delivered the baby—the druggist could not have used Instruments. But what would Grady Barton have done? Was his M.D. so important to him that he would have held his hand? He had, at the beginning of this nightmare, made one strong vow: ”1'1) not give them any chance to add to their phony lawsuit against me.” But wouldn’t he—tonight—to save a life? He had not yet answered his question when Pearl's car clattered up and Tommy shouted Grady’s name. Grady opened hi# door; Tommy came in, and Peart drove away. Tommy gazed after her admiringly. “She’s wonderful,’’ he told Grady solemnly. “Yes,” said Grady. “Yes, she is. Why’d you come here?” “I let the husband stay in my room—so he can take care of his wife. • • • Not knowing what better to do, Grady went to work at the factory the next morning, and about ten o’clock he looked up from his machine, aware that two men had come to a- stop beside him. His gloved hand shut off the power, and he turned, tipping up his safety goggles. He waited for Mo Chronister to state his business. Beside him, Joe Perry looked distressed. All down the aisles of the big room, machines were being shut off and men stood still, listening. "As Prosecuting Attorney, Grady,” Joe was endeavoring to explain, “I bad to let him— ’’ "It’s all right, Joe. I understand. What is it now, Mo?” “This time, it seems, Doc, that in spite of your license being revoked, you not only delivered a baby, you had the unmitigated nerve to bring the patient to your own bedroom to do it. Guess you didn’t figure cm the father’s registering the kid’s birth so quick." Oh, Lord, thought Grady, cottM that tool guy have put my name

down as attending doctor? He should have waited—the hospital would have made out the certificate —an emergency birth— A red haze began to swirl through Grady’s mind. ”, . . amounts to an illegal operation . . .” Mo was saying. "Seems you’re everything, Barton, from a philandering liar to a dishonest doctor . . .” Grady took a step toward him. Mo took a step back. Grady looked around. Joe Perry’s face was clay-colored. All the workmen were leaning forward. "If you’ll step outside, Mr. Chronister,’’ said Grady tightly, “I’ll get this matter straightened out for you. If you won't step Outside, you owe me an apology "here and now. Because you know the exact circumstances of that baby's birth —and any little detail that isn’t known, I’m ready to knock into you." !* "I guess with all these witnesses, 1 can afford'to beat your ears off, Doc,’’ said Mo, swaggering toward the wide doors which a half-dozen men sprang to open. It was not raining, but the stone chips of the driveway were dark with last night’s rain. Mo took off his gabardine raincoat and his suit coat: Grady handed his mask to one of the workmen. A circle was immediately formed by the factory men, Joe Perry among them. Faces appeared at the windows of the second floor—quiet faces, watchful, neither friendly nor unfriendly — Just ready to see these two men light out the quarrel which all knew had been building between them throughout the winter. “I hate to do this to you, Doe.’! said Mo, swinging his doubled fist at Grady’s chin. But the glcammg red head had jerked back; the fist fanned air, and Grady came in with a left hook which sent Mo back on his heels. Then Mo would have grappled, but Giady put his twe hands on his shoulders and pushed him away, coming tn again with a swift right jab and another uppercut Blood began to run down Mo Chronister’s chin.

Epidemic Os Flu Stirs Alarm Bells Keep Watchful Eye On Current Outbreak WASHINGTON (UP)— Doctors call it "the great pandemic.” It went over the world in three lethal waves, starting in May, 1918. By the time third wave subsided in the spring of 1919, it had claimed nearly 15 million lives And it had instilled in the hearts of heath officias everywhere a asting fear of influenza. Nearly 40 years have passed since that "pandemic.” or worldwide epidemic of “Spanish flue.” Many lesser influenza epidemics have come and gone. Medical science has developed vaccines against influenza, and antibiotic drugs to treat its complications A whole generation has grown up which regards flu as an uncomfortable but relatively 'mild ilness—nut much worse than a bad eoMTo members of this generation, it may be difficult to understand why the current epidemic in the Far East has started alarm bells ringing in public health offices the world over. “The probability of another 1918 is slight,” said Dr. Carl C. Dauer, top influenza expert in the U.S. Public Health Service. "But, we <.annot assume that it is an impossibility •” Na Indication Whatever So far, Dauer emphasized, there is "no indication whatever” that the presept outbreak in the Orient will lead to “another 1918.”' This year s epidemic, which began in Hong Kong about April 18, afflicted about 1 million persons and caused-'aboyt^J,ooo deaths during its first two months of rapid spread. By the standards of 1918. when 200 million people were stricken in every country of the globe, this is still a "mild" one. Most of the deaths have occurred among persons a ready weakened by chronic disease, old age or hunger. The great majority of patients recover after three or four days of fever and general malaise. Influenza is one of the most highly contagious diseases known. Quarantine has proved ineffective in halting its spread in the past. With more than 1,000 travelers a day returning to America from the Far East, health officials consider it a foregone conclusion that the “Oriental flu” will reach this country and probaby cause some scattered local epidemics this summer. But there is no likelihood .of a major U.S. epidemic before fall. Some experts believe the virus in the Far East outbreak—a brand new strain—will die out before cold weather; others think there will bb enough live virus stil around this

Vaccine Being Tested Drug manufacturers have devel.4«d an experimental vaccine agamst the new Hong Kong strain of virus. It is being tested by the National Institute ofaHealth, and the military may ordgr 4 million doses for servicemen. But the Public Health Service is holding off a decision on civilian inoculations for several reasons: — Vaccination against influenza is still in the developmental stage and no vaccine has yet been perfected which gives sure, long-last-
