DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by ( THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller, Jr.- President John G. Heller Vice President Chas. E. Holthouse —Secretary-Treasurer Mayor Donald F. Gage Mayor Donald F. Gage, Decatur’s 24th mayor, and sth Republican mayor, completes his term of office Wednesday. x ■ Mayor Gage has done a creditable jolj* as mayand during his four years lias represented the city welD His speaking ability, his fine personality, his grasp c os city problems, and the appearance that he made for our city image have all been outstanding. During Mayor Gage’s term the primary problem has been the wise use of the money freed by the sale of the light plant. While most of us think in terms of the actual sale price, a large* amount of money, kept in various funds within the light department, was also freed, in addition to the sale money received after payment of the outstanding debts on the light plant. During the past four -years, marked by unusual cooperation* between the Republican mayor and the 100% Democratic council, and Democratic clerk-trea-surer, 81/2 miles of city streets have been improved, 54 block of alleys improved, two new water tanks, of 500,000 gallons each built and installed, a new addition made to the fire department building and two new fire trucks purchased, a new street sweeper, new water mains, new sewers, new street lights, and a new police station. A The very fact that the mayor and his other Democratic officials were able to agree on so many things points out the wonderful spirit of cooperation, for the benefit of the city, that existed between the officials. Mayor Gage was also fortunate to have as his advisor and helper, city, attorney Robert S. Anderson, whose work formed th^backbone of the administration. The legal problems involved in the sale of the light plant, and utilization of the money, were handled mainly by Anderson and I&M attorneys. The personality of a mayor is firmly implanted on his administration, and the outstanding personality of Mayor Gage has contributed greatly to his success as mayor. i Norbert Aumann, who is completing eight years as city councilman, and who declined to run for re-election; is also retiring after an outstanding job as city councilman.. Aumann has devoted many, many hours of his time to city affairs during the past eight years, and like Mayor Gage, is to be commended for his fine public spirit. Carl Gerber, also a councilman for the past eight years, is stepping up to the Mayor’s chair, and every -— citizen wishes him the best for the next four years. Bernard Clark, councilman appointed at-large to succeed the late Frank Braun, also did not run Tor re-election, and has been named street commissioner in the new administration, a job he formerly held under Mayor Cole, and one which he did to the satisfaction of most Decatur citizens.

Blood Circulation Stop Surgery Aid

By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — In 1963 experimental science produced sound reasons for believeing blood circulation can J® stopped for much longer thim is now throught possible. It bodes well for the future of desperation surgery involving the brain. That sovereign organ and all other nerve tissues are especially sensitive to any halt in blood flow. Dr. George Smith, a Scottish surgical scientists, demonstrated in dogs that blood circulation can be halted for 30 minutes' without harming them. Thirty minutes would be ample time for brain surgery which now is impossible. Brain and other nerve cells are exquisitely dependent upon a constant supply of oxygen. They get their oxygen from the circulating blood. So do all other cells but nerve cells never recover from oxygen starvation. Combine Two Principles Smith and his Glasgow colleagues achieved their* startling experimental results by combining two proved principles. When body temperature are lowered, body cells require less oxygen. When oxygen is pressurized, tissues liquify some of it and store it. Their experiments were divided into a number of parts. In one the experimental animals overbreath6d ordinary air at its normal pressure of one “atmosphere,’’ that is 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level. Then their circulation was stopped. The safe period it could remain stopped was 4 minutes. When they overbreathed pure oxygen at one atmosphere of pressure, the safe stoppage time was raised 1 minutes, to 5. When oxygen pressure was doubled to 2 atmosphere, the stoppage time was increased to 8 minutes. This showed that the higher oxygen “tension” the more was stored for use while no blood flowed. Next* the scientists colled the animals down to a temperature of 80.3 degrees (f) which is considered mild “hypothermia” for man or beast. Under this condition the safe stoppage time was 20 minutes for oxygen pressurized at one atmosphere and 30 minutes for two atmospheres. Gets U. S. Recognition . — Smith is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and he has had American recognition in a fellowship in the American College. He and his associates reported their results to the latter’s technical journal. Tfieir measurements of lack of brain damage in their animals were exacting. They in-

eluded observations of behavior for days after blood circulation was restored, plus chemical and microscopic tests. *• “The benefits of an operating room in which the environmental pressure could be increased to 2 or 3 atmospheres would seem to be particularly useful where circulatory arrest or artificial circulation would be beneficial,” they said. Three such rooms, called “hyperbaric chambers,” now exist in the United States and a fourth, at New York's Mount Siarii hospital, will be ready early in 1964. They’re used now to revive victims of carbon monoxide and barbiturates poisoning, to enhance the killing power of X-rays in cancer cells and to ease persons with impaired circulation through surgery. • Todays Market P.

Only One Weekend Traffic Fatality By United Press International . A pedestrian was killed near Salem today on the heels of one of the year’s safest traffic weekends in Indiana. Eddie Wyman, 65, Salem, was killed when he walked into the path of a car driven by Homer Moffatt, 43, Orleans, raising the state’s 1963 fatality toll to at least 1,314 compared with 1,210 a year ago. Only one weekend fatality was recorded, and despite that lastgasp effort at safety the yeai is certain to go down in the records as the third deadliest ever and the worst in total deaths since the record 1,478 killed in 1941. The second worst year was 1937 with 1,367 deaths. I Luther Trent, 58, Yorktown, was killed at a Delaware County road intersection Saturday _ night when his car hit a truck driven by Thomas Mahl, 26, Elyria, Ohio. The impact threw Trent from his car and under the wheels of the truck.
