Jewell Miller, Illinois Bell Installer, who is retiring on a pension this fall after 40 years' service with the company ^I'd do some things differently, of course, but I'd still start all over again with Illinois Bell. It's given me a chanc£ to earn a good living for my family. It's been a pleasant place to work -- I've made a lot of friends along the line. I've gotten real satisfaction from my job, too -- telephone work is useful, essential work. And now that I'm about to retire, I've got a pension that will help, to keep me -in comfort as long as I live. "Would I recommend the telephone comb* pany as a good place to work? I certainty would -- to any young man or young woman." When a man nears the end of his business career, he's in a position to speak with utter frankness -- particularly when he has a pension that helps to assure his future. Mr. Miller, Illinois Bell Installer with 40 years* service, is in such a position. And this year there are some 365 other Illinois Bell men and women who will also retire on pensions. Talking to them, you'll find that most feel as Mr. Miller doe^*bout the telephone com-, pany. It's a good place to work.

Impetigo is caused by "the pusforming germs, known as the staphylococci and the streptococci. Either or both may be responsible, and, in children, may be transmitted in play. Although the condition is commoiv est in children, adults also maj become affected. Wrestling mats, boxing gloves and athletic clothing are among the athletic sources involved in thf spread of the infection. The condition commences as a small blister, of it may begin with a cluster of blisters, vary ing in color from yellow to dark red. Since the caustive agents are pus-forming germs, a purulent discharge may be associ* ated with the condition, or th« crust may form with little or Ao discharge. While impetigo contagioso is usually limited to the exposed parts of the body, such as the face, .ears, neck and sometimes the hands, it may spread quickly to other parts of the body. It may take on the appearance of a cold sore on the lips. There are no definite symptoms. Even when a dozen or more of these unsightly sores are evident, the victim complains very little of itching, burning or pain. Once a child is infected, the condition can assume epidemic proportions because it is so contagious. For this reason, an afjfected child, or adult, should be excluded from contact with oc«w-uiw uuaw oic t^ruiuveu wn I 'SOref usuaUy appear the smooth, red. moist skin be 1 a few days or a weekjneath jS carefully treated with . :.

Took them to dinner last night at the Garden Tavern. Ben told about the trip: "Went through a town in Idaho that was only 100 feet wide. No kidding! Built into a long, narrow canyon. And it shares those 100 • feet with a railroad track that runs right through the hotel! "To get gas there we had to park right on the tracks. Suddenly Belle screams--'there's a train coming!' But the gas fellow just laughs and says we were there first. Blamed if the engineer didn't stop the train and wait, tool" From where I sit, it's a good illustration of how people can learn to "think of the other fellow" so that the community benefits. Railroaders and townspeople. Democrats and Republicans, malted milk fanciers and those who prefer a temperate glass of beer--we all have to share the satoe space. Let's maintain oar Mighbor's "right of way."
