Victim In Fund Appeal For Muscular Dystrophy

By David D. Maselin (Editor's note: Mr. Mazelin, a native of Adams county and resident of Monroe township, is one of the many MD patients in Adams county who have been forced to readjust their lives to meet a new situation—that of living with a progressing, crippling, incurable disease. This is Muscular Dystrophy month—your contribution will help find a cure for a disease which has more patients in Adams county than in any other counfy of Indiana, a disease which strikes us close at home.) Muscular dystrophy must be accepted by its victims as one of those things which, though naturally unwanted, can not be helped at this time, cannot be prevented, and can neither be arrested or cured. Up to the present time, muscular dystrophy has been following a one-way course and that course has inva ’y been a downhill one. Not so mar ? years ago these things were not oeing told the victims nor their parents. Since MDAA has been organized this has been changed and the victims are being told the truth so that no longer false hopes are built up by the victim or parent that this is just another passing ailment which will soon resolve itself and all will be well again. True enough, this takes a lot of fortitude and adjustment. Very young children do not have the problems of adjusting to such a revelation as does the adult. First, there is the “facing-up" to the fact that the person has been stricken by a progressive, crippling, incurable disease. Just as we cannot fully understand the anguish of a parent who must face this fact when his child is stricken, it is only fair to say that no one but another adult victim knows what it means to comprehend the disease with an adult’s mind and at the same time be a victim himself.

I It is possible, perhaps, but not likely that this reconciling or “fac-ing-up” by an adult victim takes place quickly—that the person accepts the truth and that is that. Eventually, though, this will have to take place and the sooner it does, the better it is for all concerned. t As a victim surveys his plight and finds it necessary to let one hope after another—one aspiration after another slip away from him—this never-ending chain of relinquishing—he realizes that some day he will become utterly dependent on others. To face this courageously and perhaps to lay deliberate plans for it is another significant problem. Much depends on the age at which the victim is stricken and what his educational background may be. Some have learned skills or professions adaptable to their condition. It is most important for all victims who are yet able to learn some creative skill which will enable them to go on doing something worthwhile even after their strength has been greatly reduced. There are many crafts which can be learned and enjoyed by the dystrophic patient. Then there is that strange law of life that by taking upon ourselves an additional weight of sorrow in the form of the heartaches of others, we mitigate and may even lose our own grief. In Other words, in doing something for others, however small it may seem, it wi rjreatly help the patient to think of his own troubles. Not dyst : only, but victims of othe. ments as well, have found this t Josophy helpful. MDAA, Inc. is in the nt of its annual appeal for fun u for muscular dystrophy research and for an extensive patient service program. Your generous support of this cause will be greatly appreciated.

We're putting the pyramids right back where they were I Recently we have been testing a slightly different label on the Camel package. The experimental design changed the illustration and the wording a little. That’s all. No change whatever was made in the famous Camel blend of choice Turkish and domestic tobaccos. What we learned in the test is that Camel smokers prefer the original package, so we’re putting the pyramids right back where they were, as quickly as we can do it. The test package is being discontinued, so you will soon be getting your Camels in the package you know so well. We have always been proud of the loyalty of Camel smokers, and we thank you for helping us decide not to x change the looks of the package that brings you the best- ' liked cigarette of them all! (Yes, we are happy to say that again this year, for the 10th straight year, Camel outsells all others!) R. Reynolds Tobacco Company ““ — Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Disapproves Jail For City Violators Jailed For Violation Os City Ordinance INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Appellate Court late Thursday shook a disapproving finger at cities which jail citizens for violations of municipal ordinances. The test case involved Harry E. Biedinger, East Chicago. City officials fined him $25 and handed out a 30-day jail sentence because he failed to get a building permit before remodeling. The jail term later was suspended. The fine and sentence were imposed by East Chicago City Court. Biedinger appealed to the Lake Circuit Court, which dismissed the case on grounds that it had no jurisdiction since “less than SSO was involved.” The high court, in effect, turned down Biedinger’s appeal because he was pounding on the wrong door. It said he should have gone to the Lake Criminal Court instead of the Lake Circuit Court. But, in a concurring opinion, Judge Dewey Kelley blasted the city of East Chicago for its action in punishing Biedinger. ‘"hie deprivation of personal liberty without any formal charge of commission of an illegal act... cannot be countenanced upon the theory that it is justified because the action is a ‘civil’ action instituted for the breach of an ordinance,” Kelley wrote. He said the ‘‘atrociousness .. . is apparent when it is observed that a citizen who has done no more than violate a city ordinance is denied' the right to the legal protection usually accorded an-accused offender and can be tried without formal charge and sentenced to imprisonment while those charged with. .. major offenses ... are accorded every legal right and protection.” Both divisions of the Appellate Court sat in consideration of the case because “this is an important question because it poten-

tially involves the personal liberty of Indiana citizens who may commit a min. infraction... wi ■ -ut any specific charge of .crimv or misdemeanor being laid against him.” The high court made it clear It felt the East Chicago City Court had gone beyond its jurisdiction It also said it does not concur with the Lake Circuit Court in its opinion that a jail sentence, even though suspended, is a matter of “less than $50.” Reports Dinner Bell Is Stolen From Yard A report of petty larceny was filed at the city police department Thursday afternoon for a recent incident that occurred at the home of Virgil McClure, of 418 West Jefferson street. McClure reported that thieves stole a 10 inch cast iron dinner bell from the top of his fire place, located in the back yard of his home. A value of S2O was given for the bell. The exact time of the theft was not known. Police are investigating.
