City Election In addition to the special city election on the power plant question, 1959 will also be an election year for mayor, clerk-treasurer and council, if the state legislature does not return that election to a regular even year. ”T" Clarence ,E. Clapper, Hartford City business man, became the first man in this area to announce that he was a candidate for mayor. He has been a resident of Hartford City for 54 years, and is running on the Democratic ticket in that city. No candidates have announced yet in Decatur. At least one city council member is believed ready to retire. In the past ten years the Republican party has shown a growing strength in Decatur. Even in 1958, a year which saw the GOP at low ebb in voting strength in Indiana, it still piled up a considerable vote in Decatur. Decatur Republicans hope this year that the party leaders see fit to encourage their candidates to come out in time for the spring primary, so that Republicans do not have to vote in the, Democratic primary, as many have in past years. In fact, it would be better for democracy in general if the general public did have a greater choice in both primaries this spring, so that two top-notch tickets would be up for election in November, encouraging full participation by all Decatur residents. ** The party primary is in fact a very important institution. It replaced the county nominating convention. In the old days, all the leading members of a party would gather and thrash out a party ticket. Because everyone .did not participate, it was not democratic enough to suit the people of the state, and we now have primaries. But primaries can be even less democratic. If up one runs, the party chairman certifies the party ticket. Also, members of opposing parties vote, not to choose a Democrat or a Republican* to run, but to keep someone they don’t like from beingnominated by his own party. This is clearly undemocratic, unethical, and in fact il- — legal. No one should vote in a primary election by a party unless they fully intend to support a majority of those nominated in that primary. ** This in itself, can keep a number of people from voting. But no one should use the excuse that they didn’t vote because no good men were running: Every citizen in this country not only has the right, but the duty, to encourage good men to run for public office. Let’jssee both parties have agopd n umber.of. candidates for nomination on May 5. It’s not too early to begin work right now. .. And don’t forget that the question of state-wide primaries is going Jo be discussed by the present state legislature. Do you believe that each person has a better chance of making a good selection of candidates, or do you think that Democrats and Republicans who stand for election as state convention delegates should decide who will represent their party? Let your state representative Burl Johnson and state senator Von Eichhorn know your opinion.

Adaptation To Cold Varies With People Critical Temp For Most 80.3 Degrees By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — In the depths of one of the coldest win.? ters ijvyears, there is small ASms-j fort in knowing “the critical tern? perature” for most naked people is 80.3 degrees, which is that for 'tropical animals. A critical temperature is the lowest one in which a naked creature can relax enough to rest and sleep. However, there are some naked people who can do much better. The Indians of the southern tip of South America are amoung them. They live, naked, in snow and sleet and never complain about the weather. Also some aborigines \ of Australia. Before white men put them into clothes about 10 years ago, they slept naked pn the bare and heavily frosted ground, snoring blissfully. And then, of course, there • are the “abominable snowmen.” Everyone Has “Cold Adapation To science all this iS a matter of x “cold adaption" with which everyone has some experiehce in winter. Dr P. F. Scholander, of Oslo (Norway) Universiy, one of. , the world’s leading scientic au- ; ThbritlßT"came’to“tKTs country to" chew it oyer with other authorities in a symposium sponsored by the American Physiological Soci- , ety. Since the critical temperature of most people when naked is that of a well-heated room, can you say human bodies are not capa- ] ble of much cold adaptation? No. said Scholander, citing the Indians and the aborigines and recalling that whereas science knows how most ' animals adapt to cold, it knows next to nothing about how people do it. But they—do,—he— said -or-the basis of his own weather experimentations with naked people. (You can’t measure cold adaptation in people who are clothed and sheltered.) He took eight students into high mountains above the tree-line and had them bed down nights in the all-together on the bare ground with the temperture at freezing or a few degrees', below. Encased In Steeping Bags .. Each student was encased in a light sleeping bag. Each l one had a light blanket' in the bag with him. This was designed tp-reduce his temperature well \belbw the critical level for people but, not so far below that there could be no chance of adapting. For the first few nights, . the stu-

dents spent most of shivering and thrashing about. They slept very little. But after that, they began sleeping soundly and throughout the night. “Even when a man started to shiver and shake during the night it might still take quite a jolt to waken him,” Scholander said. The white races of people “so constantly thermostat their bodies against even minor sensations of cold”—with clothing and furnaceheat — no one should be surprised' they don’t stand up to cold juery.-wß^l —while naked. o — v 20 Years Ago Today a-. ... , Jan.7ls, 1939 was Sunday and no paper was published. o ■— t Household Scrapbook J\ By ROBERTA LEE o — — o Coal Economy— It is claimed that if a pound of washing soda is dissolved in a gallon of water and the solution sprinkled over the coal in the bin, the heat of the fire will remain as before, but the . coal will burn much more slowly, and thus result in saving a good amount of coal.

Is it bad manners to cough or blow the nose at the dinner table? n. A. Os course not. Just go ahead and do these.-things—coughing ’behind your hand, and blowing wellx shielding behind your handerchief. We don’t usually even excuse ourselves for these things, -since itcalls more attention to them. Os course, for a real coughing fit, as when you swallow something the wrong way,—it’s much better toleave the table. Q. What can a mother do when well-meaning friends and relatives insist upon kissing her young baby —possibly endangering its health? A. One tactful manner of handling this situation is for the mother to say, “I'm sorry, but Dr. Clark does not allow any of us to kiss the baby.” , . Q. Is it all right for a bride to have large, formal wedding, even though her bridegroom has been married previously? A. Certainly; she may plan her wedding just as any other young woman.

Millions Os Rotten Eggs Are Consumed Seeks To Break Up Smelliest Racket WASHINGTON (UPI) — Americans are unwittingly consuming about three million dozen rotten eggs a year. • This statistic comes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is trying hard to break up what one official calls “the smelliest racket . we’ve come across in a long time.” The/ smell is figurative. By the time/the spoiled eggs reach the dinner table — usually in the form

of bakery products — their telltale odor has been processed away. Rotten eggs won’t poison you. In fact, they may have almost as much nutritional value as fresh eggs. But very, very few American consumers would choose to eat them if they knew what they were getting. “Adulterated” Product Under the federal pure food laws, overripe eggs are defined as an “adulterated” product. It’s illegal to ship them across state lines unless they have been smashed and mixed with some substance such as charcoal, kerosene or creosote to make them unusable for food. Investigations by the Food and Drug Administration indicate that this law is currently being flouted on a wide Scale throughout the

East and. Midwest. Here’s how the racket works, according to FDA officials: Shady operators go around to poultry hatcheries and buy up eggs that have been removed from incubators as infertile. Some of the rejects have lain in the incubators for as long as 18 days and are in “advanced stages of decomposition." The going price is about 7 cents a dozen. There is a legal market for sueh eggs. If broken up and denatured, they can be used industrially for such purposes as tanning leather. Find Lucrative Market But racketeers have found a more lucrative market. They take the eggs to concealed processing plants, shell them, process out the horrible smell (with chemicals such as sodium benzoate or by

pasteurization) and freeze them in • 30-pound cans. f The frozen eggs are then peddled to bakeries at prices that are about 10 per cent below the market price for good eggs. The Food & Drug Administration is trying to get at the racket in two ways: 1. By reminding poultry hatcheries and bakeries that they are accessories to a federal crime if they sell to or buy from the rotten egg processors. 2. By seizing illegal shipments of eggs and bringing charges against the shippers. Fifteen seizures have been made in recent months in New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Newark and Nashville, Tenn.
