Further education or vocational training becomes more of a nec* essity with each passing year. To have a degree or a certificate is the best insurance for those who desire to succeed. 0 o Food for thought—’’High taxes, sometimes by diminishing the consumption—frequently afford a smaller revenue to government than might be drawn from more moderate taxes.*' (Adam Smith, Scottish economist). ——o o-—- -g"We have the best” can well become the slogan of our local merchants. Jhe best in prices, the best in merchandise, the best in services, and the best in consumers. We know you will find these superlatives to be true when shopping in Decatur. » ■o o — This must be the height of something! A new booklet of fifty mimeographed pages has been published by one of our bureaucrats which has the title of “Specifications for Installation of Floor Tile in Temporary tax reduction in the. offing? ——o o— — A bit early to mention, but July 13 is a memorable date for Hoosiers. In 1787, on the above date, the Northwest Ordinance was adopted. It set the pattern for the formation of our state which has come a long way in 170 years, hasn’t it? o— —o —- Those of you who plan to spend a part of the summer at some lake should acquaint yourselves with the new motqr-fcoat regulations. A summary of these requirements was carried in this paper recently for your convenience. Take the clipping with you in order to better comply with the rules. We doubt that ignorance will, be acceptable excuse, n 0 ° It is nice to get up in the morning when the sun begins to shine ... in the good old summertime. Those of you who lie abed are missing some of nature’s revelations that are not perceptible at other hours of the day. Wasn’t it Edison who implied that four hours sleep each day was adequate for the busy man? We need a bit more than that but most overdo the “rest period.”

We might have gotten by without a big increase in the gross income tax if the somewhat battered Craig administration had spent some time in the state capital. Loose and ludicrous spending made a tax increase inevitable. It appears to be high time that Hoosiers do a bit of checking on those who are supposed to be checking. o o The brochure which is being processed by the Chamber of Commerce will be a valuable asset in the expansion of Decatur. President. C. B. Brewer has named a group of very capable men to assist in the compilation of required data and it is evident that another fine project will soon become a reality. —-o— —o Recent reports indicate that thirty-one of the members of the class of 1957 of Decatur high school are planning to further their training next fall. The national averages show that about thirty-one per cent of the graduating seniors normally continue their training in varied fields. More than forty-five per cent of this recent class going to school points to recognition of the vast need for trained personnel as well as their acknowledgment of such requirements. Plans run from vocational training to the professions. These young people should be encouraged by all of us for we know the increased demand for those who are well trained. o o The St. Lawrence Seaway project will greatly enhance the economy of the Mid-West upon its < completion. A recent visit with the superintendent of the Alabama State Docks, during which he estimated that Alabama and neighboring states are immeasurably richer for the investment in their facilities, causes one to Wonder at the proposed docks on Lake Michigan. A vast expenditure of money now offered by private interests could be a great stimulant to our state’s industry and attendant commerce. Careful and farsighted planning could do much—yes, even for us in Adams county. We should follow developments carefuly, ever mindful that constructive criticism and planning on our part may be of infinite value.

Results Os Field Trips Are Listed Results Os Trips To Poultry Houses The first results of field trips throughout Indiana, including a day’s visit in Adams and Wells counties, to examine slatted floor poultry houses, were made available today by Purdue University. One of the most recent developments in poultry housing is the use of slatted floors instead of litter, according to Joe W. Sicer* Purdue University extension poultryman. Some slat-floor poultry houses have been in use in Indiana for two years. The arrangement uses wooden slats about onehalf inch wide and an inch and a half deep supported on edge a foot to 15 inches above the floor. The slats are spaced about threequarters of an inch apart and usually are joined together in removable sections. Sicer lists these advantages resulting from use of slats: No problem with wet Utter; easier to have clean eggs; eliminates litter expense; and permits housing layers at the rate of I*4 sqaure feet of floor space per bird instead of the customary 2*4 to three square feet. The increased number of hens means much more body heat, which, Sicer says, can be used advantageously in winter; especially if the house is insulated and a forced ventilation system installed. Slat-floor houses with natural ventilation seem to function better with the additional body heat, the poultryman says. There are some drawbacks to slat-floor housing, however. Cleaning out under the slats after a year of use is a disagreeable job. Iron supports under the slats are short-lived because of the chemical action of the manure on them even when they are un-der-coated, Sicer asserts. In many flocks a rough feather appearance develops and in some cases mated flbeks give lower hatches. Causes for these conditions have not been definitely determined, according to Sicer. Occasionally, birds develop sore feet and a few birds get their legs caught between slats. Sicer points out that, as in other methods «of handling chickens, good management is essential for success with slatted floors.

* Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LIB | Q. Is it true that formal introductions are not necessary on shipboard? A. Quite true. Life on shipboard is more or less free from conventionalities. It is permissable for fellow passengers to converse without being introduced. And one should try to enter into the ship gaieties as it is illbred and discourteous to refuse to take part. Q. Isn’t it true that the bride and her mother make up the invitation list for a large wedding? A. Yes. Os course, they should consult with the bridegroom and his mother who have the right to include their relatives and good friends.

Responsibility Aid To Mental Patients Mere Use Os Keys Aids Improvement ~ NEW YORK (UP)—A director of a 1,000-bed mental hospital reports that simply giving some patients keys to keep and to use will bring about an improvement in their mental conditions. No other places, not even prisons, probably, are more thoroughly locked and keyed than mental hospitals. Yet, as Dr. Aaron S. Mason said, “almost complete silence is maintained” about those locks and keys. “To the mental patient, the key is the most significant symbol of his helplessness,” said Mason. "It is viewed as token of ’.be whole structure of power and responsibility in the mental hospital ” Heads VA Hospital Mason is professional services director of the Brockton (Mass.> Veterans Administration Hospital. There, as in other mental hospitals, every room, every closet, every cabinet — every cubicle or receptacle of any kind — has its lock and a corresponding key.

CHAPTER 34 ■* Easter morning it had become a custom in the Hollies to erect a platform on the beach of Green Lake at the center of the half-circle formed by the hillocks of sand. Behind this a scaffolding was built on which would stand singers from the various church choirs; their white-robed figures would form a cross facing east. Children of the churches centered the cross. The people of the community congregated upon the sandy beach. Some brought chairs, but most stood. These people began to assemble before dawn; as day broke across the mist-shrouded lake, their figures were defined in ghostly manner. Grady Barton had taken a stand on one of the smaller dunes which overlooked the scene. He had brought his binoculars, and he used them in the growing light, to pick out the faces of his friends. Sixty singers, June Cowan bad said. June he found in the group which formed the left arm of the cross. Because of her, Grady wished he had checked the jerry-built scaffold. From where he stood it looked rickety, though surely competent carpenters had erected it. And certainly the picture it made was effective. The sun popped up from behind the dune where Grady stood, and its light gilded the group of singers into beauty. Alleluia.' Watching through his glasses, he saw the lips ■move, before the music and the singing came tn, lus ears—thin, elfin, utterly lovely. His throat swelled at this voicing of the Easter miracle in song; he closed his eyes to squeeze back the emotion which crowded in upon him. And opened them again—to horror and to disbelief. The sound came, belated, to his ears. His eyes stared unbelieving at the chkos pf what had been a gilded cross of singing people. He heard the crash, the shouts and Uie roar of the collapse. And even as he heard it, and not believing it, he began to run. ’ • For a breathless moment, everything was very still, no sound came to him at all, no movement could be seen. Disaster had frozen the scene in horror. There was time to see it all, to mark the single long spar of raw lumber and study the heaped bodies at its base; he could search among the semicircle of people who stood black upon the sand; he could look even at the waters of the lake, the waves lifting, falling. But now. after -rw more’really than a sccdfsHS shocked immo-

Certain Brockton patients are given keys to rooms in which they can carry out their assignments in "industrial therapy." Although the hospital was opened in 1953, “no untoward incident has resulted from this policy.” On .the other hand, “we have observed marked improvement in Some patients when they are given the recognition and responsibility of handling keys,” Mason said. He looked forward to a day when locks and keys are used in mental hospitals in the same way they are used in homes—“mainly for the protection of property." He thought that more and more “the concept of custody and control” was dying out among mental hospital administrators and more and more they were accepting the “trend of the open hospital.” Some Hospitals Are Open An “open hospital” is one in which there are no locked doors, and patients may come and go as they please. The advocates of this practice still are in a minority in psychiatry but definitely there is a —-■ ■. Mason said that at Brockton almost half the patients are in unlocked wards and their number has doubled in the last two years. A basic premise of the “Open hos-

bility, all was movement, all was confusion. People ran, people shouted, people screamed. They pulled at timbers, they pulled at human limbs, seeking to drag out those who were caught underneath the weight of the mass. Grady’s terror increased when he located June —while still 500 yards away. She lay a little to one side of the main mass, her head upon the sand, her limbs weighted with the timbers of the scaffolding, her body twisted, the white robe stained with crimson. He ran and he ran and he ran toward her—sobbing aloud in his effort to run faster. And then, at long last, he did reach her, and with the inexorable cruelty of all such nightmares, he must stand and watch another man lift her head in his arms and seek to draw her limbs “Let her alone!” Sound came at last, croaking, from Grady's throat “Let her alone!’* By sheer strength, he forced Mo Chronister’s hand to release her, to let her lie upon the sand. Teeth bared, the two men faced each other. “You let her alone!" roared Mo. “You’d better not touch anyone! Doctor!” Mo took a step backward from that which he saw in Grady’s face. A step away—Grady's eyes met other eyes, his cars heard the voices which called to him, begging him—he looked at the still-lfeaped and tumbled bodies, at the bloody hands and faces of those who had struggled free; he looked again at June where she lay unconscious upon the sand, and then he shut his eyes, he straightened his back and he walked like a man of stone away from those with him to help. Z won’t, he said to himself. They wouldn’t let me before. And now —1 won’t. I can’t. The people watched him go, unbelieving. His step became slower and slower and finally stopped. His head was down now between hist shoulders —then slowly, as a man lifts a weight far beyond his strength, every muscle straining, he lifted his head, turned and walked again toward the hurt and the injured. He lifted timbers; he tore the choir robes into strips of cloth and bound them about torn and bleeding limbs, twisting them into tourniquets with splinters of wood. He did not speak, nor heed the things which others said to him. -J Cold, frozen, he attended to one injured person after another; he gave them first aid. When the ambulance came, he helped lift the injured to the stretchers, and did it again on each trip which

their ambulance made. He helped the less-hurt into cars. Still not speaking, he stood and watched them take June away, with Mo Chronister beside her, pressing the folded handkerchief which Grady gave him against the puncture wound on her temple. And Grady stood back, frozen faced, silent. Soon, Judge Cowan came from town in search of him: he took his arm and led him to his car. Dr. Barton, someone had said, was acting very queer. “We’re using your clinic as a first-aid hospital,” said the judge. "We need you there.” Without speaking, Grady went with him. When he seemed inclined to balk at going into the clinic building, the judge’s hand was firm upon his forearm. And the two men went inside. The Injured were ranged about the outer rooms. In the examination room, a surgical setup was being arranged under Dr. Tomyanovic’s direction. The autoclave was going, and Tommy was already at work, his slight frame engulfed in one of Grady’s white smocks! Pearl was there, helping Tommy, and Grady's instruments were set out and ready. I won’t, 1 won’t, 1 won't. The bitter sound of resentment clanged on in Grady’s brain. After a glance at Grady’s face, Tommy took charge. He told Grady what to do in exactly the same tone as he told Pearl. He sent all others out of the room. He threw out comments like com from popper, and the town watched him, smiled upon him and talked about him as they waited out in the street. With first aid given at the scene, the doctors could nqw take each case in turn. They had a contusion and cuts: they had a spouting artery—they put on clamps and sent the patient away to the hospital. By now an ambulance hqd come from Blmore. They had an abrasion, a man whose whole left side, ffojn brow to ankle, was skinned raw and filled with splinters. They had three cases of shock to varying degrees—for these he needed blood. There was no time to type, to transfuse. As the cases came under their hands, the doctors must decide whom to send to the hospital, whom to send home—what emergency aid to give, and how much. They had broken bones —ribs, legs, an arm—a badly crushed hand —and there had been at least one concussion. June Cowan. ■-■ ’ 1 Tomorrow in Chapter 85: “What did you do with June?"
