CONDEMNATION (Continued from Page One) based on the assessed value, $22. Gillium Speaks County engineer Walter Gilliom stated he felt that the amount originally offered by the commissioners was far too high; he pointed out that many, many good citizens had offered their land free just to get improved roads, and .that “if you start paying one, you will have to start paying all.” Boer ger (Stated that they had to have a better curves with a little more right-of-way, to make a safer road; he mentioned several accidents that had happened on the curve or bridge. The new route of the road and location of the bridge, have already been staked. Highway supervisor Lawrence Noll explained that as soon as the proceedings are filed, he can get clearance on the federal aid for the bridge, and then work can start; frequently bridges and roads are completed before the condemnation suits are finished. Mrs. Hurst Appears Appearing before, the county commissioners at 9:30 a.m. was Mrs. Tom Hurst, who asked that the mile of county road on the St. Mary’s-Union township line, road 7, between roads 29 and 30, be blacktopped, and the commissioners told her that they would take the petition under consideration. At 11 a.m. the commissioners left with a representative of Ayers Asphalt-Paving Co., of Celina, 0., to look at county road 28% in Jefferson township, an extension of the Gravyspoon trail north from road 116 to county road 22.

Supreme Court Denies Appeal On Sales Tax WASHINGTON (UPI) — The' U.S. Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal by Dallas Sells, president of the Indiana State AFL-CIO, of a decision of the Indiana Supreme Court that a new two per cent state sales tax is constitutional. The high court said the case does not present “a substantial federal question.” Sells had asked the court to reverse the top Indiana’s court ruling of last Oct. 2 that the law was valid. The state court had reversed a ruling of Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblack at Indianapolis that the sales tax law was unconstitutional. Niblack’s ruling delayed effectiveness of the tax law from last July 1, as intended by the 1963 Legislature, to late October and cost the state millions of dollars. Sells and the AFL-ClO’s Committee on Political Education contended in their appeal that the tax law was not properly enacted by the legislature and that it discriminates improperly by exempting farmers and certain others. Motorist Is Fined On Speeding Charge Earl W. Hunter, 41-year-old resident of Van Wert, 0., paid a fine of $lO and costs, totaling $27.75, in justice of the peace court Saturday, Hunter was arrested by the Indiana state police at 4:45 p.m. Saturday while traveling 76 miles per hour in a 35 zone on U.

Many People Abuse Selves With Pills

By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor * NEW YORK (UPI) — Physicians have been warned to be on the alert for the “meprobamate withdrawal syndrome.” There’s a good chance they won’t recognise it with a casual glance but it’s a bad actor and can end in death. Meprobamate is the generic name of the original “happiness pill,” better known by the tradenames “Miltown” and "Equanil.” It has chemically tranquilized a multitude of untranquil people and has proved remarkably free of toxic side effects when not abused. But medical science is increasingly aware of the large number of abusers —people who dose themselves heavily day by day and sometimes combine meprobamate with the “pep Pill,” amphetamine and always without a doctor’s sanction, of course. A continuing heavy taking of many drugs leads to habituation, as people become habituated to narcotics, to the barbiturate sleeping pills, and to tobacco. When their chemical crutch is removed they get physical rebounds which add up to a “withdrawal syndrome.” Watch For Withdrawal The American Academy of General Practice gave space in its technical journal to Dr. T. C. McCormick, Jr., of Austin, Tex., to warn the profession to be alert for the "withdrawal syndrome” of meprobamate. A physician can miss it because “a large number, if not a majority” of people will deny taking drugs in excess. Meprobamate can be obtained more readily than barbiturates,” he said. “Prescriptions for meprobamate are easier to get from the physician and are more likely to be filled by the pharmacist without question. The patient has little difficulty in accumulating the drug from a number of sources.” Persons who are taken to hospital emergency rooms in a stuporous condition with nerve symptoms are suspect.

syndrome may appear 24 to 72 hours after some persons .are admitted to a hospital for surgery dr illness. These are all persons "separated from their meprobamate source.” , Delusions First Sign The first sign may be a convulsive seizure or “sudden paranoid delusions and hallucinations,” McCormick continued. The. electro-encephalogram will reveal abnormal brain wave patterns, he added—“high-volt-age, fast wave patterns comparable to those produced by barbiturates. “Meprobamate must be classified with barbiturates and alcohol in that abrupt withdrawal from excessive intake may produce a syndrome of toxic delirium, convulsions and even death. The physician must first of all protect the person with the syndrome "from convulsions and the dangers associated with delirium tremens.” That, McCormick emphasized, “is urgent.” He can do it by administering sedatives and anti-convul-sive drugs and then slowly decreasing dosages until they’re no longer needed. Meanwhile, the person’s nutrition and chemical balances must be watched closely and a nurse should be near at all times, as part of the “precautions -against, suicide and the other dangers of toxic delirium.” Leo Borne Advanced To Wisconsin Post Leo Borne, former Decatur resident, has been named controller of the General Telephone Co. of Wisconsin, effective earlier this month, succeeding R. O. Russell, who has been transferred to the accounting department of the General Telephone Co. in California. Borne, who joined the company as an accountant in 1959 has been assistant controller of the firm in Pennsylvania. He and his wife, and sons, Dale and Darrell, will move from Erie, Pa., to 139 Glenway, Madison, Wis., May 1. '

It was learned that one British soldier was pinned down by automatic weapons fire directed against him on more than one occasion.
