Predictions are for cold and typical winter weather now, and we can’t complain, because we’ve had pretty nice mild weather for some time now. Let’s have the winter and get it over with early. 0 «-O-— Temperatures remained low over the week-end and the forecast for Monday was for just a little rise. It might get a little warmer then on Tuesday and we can expect snow flurries maybe by mid-week- It’s been a typical winter week-end. o—o Sale of real estate has been almost at a standstill in this area the last few weeks, which isn’t unusual for this time of year. Economists believe that 1958 will be a big year for new home construction and the activity will start early in the spring, which isn’t far away. o o The auto industry, which got pverly optimistic after the placing of 1958 models in the retail showrooms, has slowed down production the last ten days. It is hoped and predicted that this slow down will be only temporary’ and that increased production of new models will soon continue at its former clip. . _ ——o o— _ Most of the Decatur merchants report a good holiday trade. Some retailers report that volume in dollars and cents was up but that profits were down because of increased costs' at the wholesale level"" irr'rilUc'h of the •Y • . " merchandise. A big majority of the local store keepers however, were pretty well satisfied and have started this new year with optimism over 1958. o <> Sales are being featured at local stores for the next few weeks and before too long, spring merchandise will be on all the shelves. Watch for these money savers and take advantage of the numerous price reductions.

John Bixler, long time custodian of the Court House will retire soon after teaching the duties to Orval Sudduth, newly appointed by the G.O.P. controlled board of commissioners. Mr. ' Sudduth was formerly custodian at City Hall during the Doan administration and he did a good job of keeping that building in top shape. Bixler knows the Court House well .and he has done a faultless job in his work We join his many friends in wishing Mr. Bixler happiness and security in whatever he does in the future. —o o The fact that Russia has a guided missile should make each of us more civil defense minded with the knowledge that any in the ‘bferrecr-- scares YdtfftT' of bombed. It is nothing to be alarmed about because all we have to do is become part of the nation’s civil defense program. Circulars from that group will continue to tell you what to do if an attack ever comes. We still don’t think it can happen, but being prepared for what ever does happen never hurts anyone. o—_o—— A strong candidate and an efficient public' official,--Sheriff Merle Affolder, has announced that he wiirbe"a candidate for reelection. The Sheriff is the first candidate on either ticket to announce his intentions. He is a Democrat. Other candidates are known to be preparing their announcements and will likely declare therfiselves this week'. Every indication points to the fact that the Democrats will have one of the strongest tickets ever placed in the local field. It is important to have good- candidates to assure the people of good government at the local level, , which is most important. We hope that every voter studies the abilities of each candidate before casting votes next May. Sheriff Affolder has made numerous reforms in the administration Os his office and the jail is kept tidy and clean at all times. He has carried out the" ebligatibhs of“his office in great shape. , .

Never was called a runt though. Smail-boned is a polite way to put it. but I'll tell. you the truth, whatever flesh covered this frame nad been pared down -to solid muscle by twp older brothers who believed that all the nard.ranch lobs rightly belonged to the youngest. And the O'Dare place was pretty pigorconsidered so, . now. that Oklahoma nad been opened up to the settlers tor a year or so and a man s holdings were counted in nalt-sections tn.st.ea i □t a dozen sections. Yet we O'Dares- Ma, Cord, Luther - find me —-Claimed nine sections for our own. and I'm a little ashamed to admit that ot all those sections only the tirst two were obtained in a. manner completely nonest. Cord and Luther were “sooners," sneaking tn ahead ot the gun to claim, two, and within a year ve bought' an additional five from “Others who fotmef the got,ng —teetough and wanted to move on. Now before.-any ot you start adding and figuring that I'm a paragon of honesty, let me tell you straight out that it Cord .. tiadn t put his toot down and said that 1 was too young, tnere'd have Deen three sooners in the family instead ot two. Ot courseswe'd been long-time ranchers in the Territory long before Teddy Roosevelt decided to open It, but that's not important npw.

| Besides, unere were others hogging all they could get too. Bill 1 Hageman on the west side of the river spread out like thin pancake oatter, gobbling up seven sections before we knew what he was up to. Still this left a lot of < room tor the little plowpushers : who stuck out the dry summers and the whistling yvinters. Fences went up, along with windmills, and schools and finally a rail- < road, which was the real reason : Ponca City—that's our townjust didn't dry up and blow < away. .. i But to get back to what I was i by the , time 1 1 had „ j team mtehed and was heading tor | the house, Cord, my oktor brother, i had come out ot the kitchen door i and was standing on the porch, < putting the final knot in ns < string tie. Cord was a big man. nearly six-one, with neavy shoulders and the kind ot nips women admired so much, which was almost no nips at all. His natr was dark, as was all the O'Dares', a gift from an Irish father who had lived nard and died young. And Cord nad the O'Dare eyes, the shade of i prairie sky. a slate-gray with indistinct traces ot blue.<>~ When 1 stepped onto the porch, Cord said, “Put on your suit. Smoke. This is an important day.” ”1 was going to,” 1 told him. 1 stood there oeside mm for a minute, watching daylight ripple across the flats, growing brighter every second. Cord's fingers fashioned a cigarette and while he twisted the ends, ne said, ”1 guess you been wondering what's got into Luther, courting a woman by mall.” “1 ain’t been wondering a thing," 1 said. ‘lt Luther wants a woman, then how he gets her is his business.’' "You treat ner decent," he said. Then, to take tlje cite out ob-the—order— ftp smiled- at me. His face was angular, almost roughly cast, but there was a handsomeness there tnat Luther and 1 tacked. It ? hard 'to describe, out there was something about Cord that made men listen to nim. And 1, giiess a good share of women' had given him - considerable attention, too. I suppose there was a lot about Cord 1 didn’t understand, and 1 knew 1 wasn’t alone in my ignorance: some people had spent an unholy amount of time trying to figure him out. But that didn't make much difference to me. He \vas my older brother, and -a handsome cuss who laughed a lot and treated me tike 1 was mansized. and when a fella is all of those things you can overlook a lot.

Snow Heralds New Indiana Cold Snap Zero Temperatures Forecast In North By UNITED PRESS New snow swirled over Indiana today, buffeted by strong winds, and heralded the arrival of another cold spell. Hoosiers hardly recovered from the year’s first cold wave, which pressed temperatures to zero levels, before the new chill swept into the state on blustery winds. Temperatures were expected to drop to zero in the north, 5 above in the central portion, and 5 to 10 above south tonight. The mercury was expected to crest this afternoon at highs 10 to 12 degres below freezing and stay well below freezing at least to Thursday. The Weather Bureau said at dawn that a snow blanket in the South Bend area measured six inches. Traces of -snow were recorded elsewhere. Most of the South Bend snow, however, was from a heavy fall last week which remained on the ground. Snow flurries today were expected to be general, and occasionally heavy only near Lake Michigan. Monday's highs ranged from 35 at South Bend to 46 at Evansville. The temperature \ dropped this morning to lows ranging from. II at Lafayette to 1 at South Bend.

Veteran Test Pilot Plans Space Flight Pilot Is Confident Os Project Success United Press Staff Corresnnndcnt INGLEWOOD, Calif (UP) — Scott Crossfield, 36, a small jnan with black eyes and black hair, has a good chance of being the first human being to enter space. What does he think his chances are of coming back? JfNinety -nine per cent," says Crossfield. That is how confident this veteran test pilot is about the project to send the bullet-like Xls rocket plane at a "speed of about 4.000 •m.p.h. to-an altitude 100 .miles above the earth, perhaps late this year. As much a scientist as a pilot,he is now spending hours working with other engineers at the North American- Aviation ..Co, here assembling the Xls. No one more than he can want the design to be right. What kind bf pOrsdn is this who may become the first "space man?" Some of his random remarks give an idea: "The worst danger of flying, any kind of flying, is striking the ground.” ' - “I have no explanation about wanting to fly the XIS. I just want to I don’t know why people do these tilings.’ - "I stick my nose into everything about an airplane.’ ’ He has strong feelings about doubts that man himself will not be up to space travel. One of his thoughts on that score takes a bit of thinking about. ‘.'.lt is brazen conceit " he says, •for us to beHcvc--we eah build a .machine that ‘ can surpass the capabilities of man." Crossfield owns a home not far from the Los Angeles. International Airport where he lives with his wife, Alice, and five children. The youngest is a boy. 6 weeks old. His classic response to the question, "What does your wife think about all this?” was: —" , “I don’t know. I’ve never asked her.” ■ '"'■' Ancient Mesopotamia’s Code of Hammurabi allawed surgeons to charge 10 shekels for a serious operation performed sucessfully on a patrician, the National Geographic Magazine says.

Gen. Chennault Tells Story Os Own Cancer

Note: Retired Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault. who organized the famed Flying Tigers and fought the Japanese in China before Pearl Harbor, disclosed last month he is suffering from cancer- Chennault, now head of the Chinese airline. Civil Air Transport, will return to the U-S. Jan. 10. Here for the first tine the «7-year-old general tells his own story in his own words. By Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault Written fpr the United Press World Copyright by United Press TAIPEI, Formosa (UP) I wanted to bet the doctors 2 to 1 that I didn’t have cancer. It is a good thing that they didn’t take me up on it, because I would have lost. I don’t know enough about cancer to be giving advice. And I don’t go sounding off unless I know what I’m talking about. But I will say that everyone who has cancer, or thinks they have it, should not give up hope. And, they should, havg regular medical examinations. Dr Alton Ochsner (of New Orleans, La.) whom I consider one of the foremost cancer specialists in the United States, advises against smoking t cigarettes. In fact, he thinks it does a lot of harm. He told me to stop smoking cigarettes, and I did fully stop. I’m still smoking my pipe. He pas seen me smoking it and hasn‘t said any ting Coughed More than Usual Personally I haven’t got the slightest idea if smoking brings on cancer. It maj_ contribute to it, but as far as I know there’s no conclusive proof. In the summer of 1956, I had some stomach trouble and was coughing more than usual. Bu’ t I’ve had bronchitis for years and didn’t pay too much attention to the coughing.' I was in Washington on business in August 11956» and dropped into Walter Reed Army Hospital for i my annual physical check up. The doctors,, using an X-ray, found a small spot on the upper part of my left lung I laughed, when they said it might be malig- . ~.... - But they insisted that if it was a malignant tumor, I wouldn’t live another year. They wanted to operate right away. They cut ottt the upper lobe of my left lung. .Five -days later the results came back from the laboratory. It was ji malignant tumor, all right. Tired More Easily The doctors said if there was ■no recurrence within 12-months, the chances were that I would be out in the clear, The weeks went by and I went regularly once a month for. an examination - - In May of fast year I began to feel uncomfortable. My coughing increased and I felt tired more easily, although I kept right on working. " The doctors said they couldnt find anything. So, my wife and I went off for a three-week trip to Europe When we returned at the end of the 12th month, the doctors said they still couldn t find anything to indicate a recurrence. But in the 13th month they located another small spot in my lung cavity. The surgeons told me they could operate bnh it probably would do more - Dr. Ochsner has been giving me shots of nitrogen mustard compound. I have been taking them intravenously; Won’t Worry about It He believes that he can arrest the growth of the cancer. They dont talk about curing canccryet. But Dr. Qcfcsner told me, "general, we will keep you alive until a cure is discovered,” I plan to be around many more years. My wife and I attended four i conventions 1 ’ last year I’m continuing my regular work, and in the i past four weeks I will have flown : more than 20 000 miles out to .the Far East and back to the U.S. I I’ve lost 15 pounds since May Os last year. I now weigh 155

pounds—just the same as I did when I came out to China in 1937. Sometimes I wake up in the night choking from mucous. It might happen only twice a night, or as often as 12 times a night. But I’ve been in a lot of tough situations before and have riever quit yet. I certainly am not going to let this get me down. 1 may have cancer, but I am not going to sit around worrying about it Four Navy Crewmen Die In Plane Crash Loses Power Above Beach Resort Area NORFOLK, Va. <UP) — A big Navy patrol bomber lost power above a beach resort area Monday and dropped “smack in the middle’’ of a two-story house. Four of its 12 crewmen were killed and 12 persons were injured The plane demolished the house, and two othpr houses were destroyed by fire that broke out immediately and flared up again later when the plane’s fuel caused a minor explosion The Navy would say oqly that four .crewmen were missing, but witnesses -saw one body removed from the wreckage and firemen were hacking into the wreckage for three more they said were still in the plane. The other eight crewmen escaped with injuries. Four civilians in the area also were hurt. The Navy said two of the crewmen were seriously injured- the others only slightly. The four civilians were hit by flying wreckage and were not' badly hurt. The plane, a P4M-1 Martin Mercator equipped with two piston- ' type engines and two jet auxiliaries, was making a low-level landing’ approach when one of the two main engines lost power. The pilot, Cmdr Clyde Curley, 41, said he was unable to start the jets and could not maintain enough speed to reach tjje beach, only a — t-tTIf frfr*<** iff —. ■ - UlOvK rrtTrlr w*V ■■ « ? The plane skimmed low over a ; cluster of cottages, ripping sfyngles and roofing from some before smashing into the house. A witness said the only ’occupant of the house, a woman, ran out of danger before the plane hit. Nick Copeland, who saw the crash- said -he- hoard, the„. plane coming m "unusually low." “I thought he was trying to make a landing on the beach, Copeland said “It looked like his wheels were down. It seemed like 1 one engine was ' revved up more than the others, pulling it aside I took off running because I knew 1 he wouldn't make it.”
