Mr.. Edwards moved to Grantsville
in 1921 and with his father engaged
in the garage business. In 1928 Mr.
and Mrs. Edwards purchased the
Edwards restaurant He is credited
with the idea of water and sewer
system for Grantsville, which was
completed with a federal grant Of
funds, at a cost to the town of about
$4,000.
In 1882 Mr.. Edwards had a plan
for countrywide schools which
would have been possible to build
at that time with Federal grants of
S250,0O0, but he went up against too
much opposition at that time, and
last stand was taken in the addi-
ton to the building at Grantsville,
resulting in the building as it
stands today.
When local interests took over
the Gratnsville Dairy he was
pressed into service as manager
and helped to build firm market
for dairy farmers He served in the
Maryland legislature from 1882 &c
1889 and again from 1850 10 the
present
Another project credited to Mr.
Edwards efforts is the restoration
and preservation of the historical
stone arch bridge spanning Cassel-
man river, east of GrantsVille. This
structure was built in 1913 and
carried the traffic of Route 40 I'M
til 1888. Plans have been completed
to beautify and establish a road
side park area on land adjacent to
the old and new bridges.
Mr.. Edwards also played a part
in the organization of the Grants
vile Rotary club and served as
the clubs first president
He was pointed out as still ready
to assist in any venture for the ben
eft of Grantsville or of the county.
The presentation was made by
c. 0. Bender, past president.
Ross Speicher, president, made
the presentation remarks for
George F. Weitzel. Mr.. Speicher
pointed out that Mr.. Weitzel's out
standing community service, was
just what it said, his neighborliness
and helpfulness to other people
during the years of his life. He is
a retired school teacher and a
farmer of the Accident community.

numerous patients in their six
ties who had a solitary stone
in the gall bladder. They lived
into the seventies and eighties
without ever having one symp.
tom attributed to gallstones.
However. in carefully observ-
ing such patients I would moi
hesitate to recommend an oper-
alton If they began to complain
of what I thought were gall
bladder symptoms.
Cancer May Develop
Many surgeons say that un-
operated gallstones may later
irritate the bladder wall and
prediSpoSe to cancer of the
bladder. To counter this argu-
ment some medical men believe
that such danger is not greater
than the occasional mortality
from an operation.
However, it is reassuring to
know that. If gall-bladder sur
gerry is indicated in a person
past sixty. modern surgery has
greatly decreased the mortality
of such operations.
For example. in q recent
paper in the Journal Of The
American Medical Association.
DR.. Alex Horwitz of Washing
ton. D. c., reports his operative
results on 800 consecutive pa
tientS who had gallbladder dis
ease. The operations were per-
formed at the George WASH
ington University Hospital.
There were no deaths. And "in
81 instances. the patients were
aged go or over"
DR.. Horwitz refers to DR.. B.
P. Colcock, who emphasizes
that gallbladder disease should
be eradicated before patients
reach old age and develop COM
such as jaundice,

There is a good story in every
photographer I ever knew. MY
good friend is Emil F. Herman
Of King Features and, like his
bretheren. he has covered every
thing from the gutter death of
a gangSter to King George and
Queen Elizabeth eating hot dogs
at Hyde Park. Dick Sarno and I
worked stories together when
he was a star cameraman and
! was a cub reporter. Joe Costa
and Teddy Dalton and Eric
Hedlund and Marty McEvilly
and Barney Coons and George
Schmidt and Freddie Klein and
Eddy Jackson are q few of
those with whom I have sat
while waiting for a statesman
to die. or for the first picture
Of the Lindbergh baby, or for
q close play at second base.
Mr.. Isadore Kaplan was a
member of the clan. He had
a Galician accent and q bossy
attitude toward his subjects.
Before my time, he was or
dered to meet a ship coming
in with Queen Marie of Ru-
mania. The Queen spoke Eng
fish and. of course, was as re-
gal as the vice president Of a
branch bank.
The photographers showed
up on the liner in their Sunday
best. A few wore spats. Kap-
Ian was wearing an open COL
lar shirt. a brown tweed jacket
and a pair OF blue pants that
looked like they had been laun-
dered in beef stew.
Her Majesty came up on the
sun deck and. amid much def
erence. was photographed smil-
ing at the New York skyline.
When it was over. Kaplan
walked UP to her. and said:
"Okay. Queenie kid. Now hop
on the rail and lift the dress
for a leetle cheesecake."

Treatment for GoIIstones
By DR.. PETER }. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband who is So. has a large
stone in his gall bladder. What
would you advise? Sincerely
Mrs. NJ. l..
Doctors View
You have not supplied suffi-
Gent information on your hus-
bands condition.
So, let's suppose. Let us say
he had been feeling well. One
day he decided to 60 to his
physician for a medical survey
During q routine investigation,
the X-ray man came UP with
the report Of a solitary. large
stone In the gall bladder.
In spite Of the stone, your
husband has not had any of
he usual symptoms of gall blad-
der trouble such as: fullness
after eating. belchine, pain be-
tween the rib-cage in the right
upper abdomen, discomfort
worsened by eating fatty foods,
and an ache between the shoul-
der blades.
II your husband did have
these symptoms my answer
would have been Operate"
Two Schools
However. in the absence Of
symptoms, there are two schools
OF thought as to what is the
better procedure In such cases.
One holds that surgery should
be performed as soon as there
is proof Of gallstones. The
other holds that the need for
operation should depend upon
the presence or absence of
symptoms.
In my practice. I have held
that the diagnosis Of a large
stone in the gall bladder in the
patient without symptoms did
not call for immediate use Of
the surgeons knife. I have seen

D. c.: please settle an argu-
ment for me. A friend says
Railroad Retirement payments
are not exempt from Federal
income tax. I think they are.

You are. Railroad Retire.
ment payments-whether for
retirement and survivors pay
ments or for sickness and I'M
employment-are not subject
to Federal income tax.
From Mrs. E. E. w. Of Pitts
burgh, Pa: MY mother Ii 80
years old and has been crippled
for nearly Is years. Eighteen
months ago my father died and
my mother can't collect Social
Security payments until she
reaches 81. She has no means
Of support and can't work. I
know Of plenty Of other people
who get Social Security who
are considerably better OF than
she is"
The only course I can suggest
is for your mother to apply for
public assistance as o dis
abled person. The right to
this assistance is based on need,
so, chances are, your mother
is eligible. AS to why your
mother isn't eligible to Social
Security, Social Security is an
insurance program and not one
based on need: She will be
eligible for Social Security at
81 if your father worked under
Social Security for Ia years.
From N. A. of San Pedro,
Calf: Il employ about seven
part-time workers in my night
club and turn in social security
tax for them. All Of these peo-
pie work for other people dur
ing the day and make more
than the maximum on which
they must pay social security
tax. They get back the social
security tax I deduct from their
pay at income tax time. What
happens to the share Of the
money I contributor"
The money you contribute
remains in the social security
trust fund. There is no provi-
sion to return taxes paid by
employers.
From Mrs. H. H. Of Bangor,
Me-: During three months
every summer, I board about
eight children in my home. I
receive $25 Q week for each
child. Would this arrangement
be covered by social security?"
Yes. This is considered SELF
employment and you can re-
ceive credit toward social Sc
curity benefits for it, II your
net earnings are $500 a year or
more. I suggest you get In
touch with the nearest Social
Security or Internal Revenue
Office and make arrangements
for social security coverage.

him to act as he did. We mar
ried for better or for worse. He
didn't stand by me, but that's
no reason for me to give
him up.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Jean appears to be much
sounder. in her thinking, her
feeling and her actions than
most women would be in her
situation. With her spirit, she
has a very good chance Of win
ming her battle.
Martha is wrong to feel that
accepting defeat in this matter
would avert strain on her sis
ter. 1t is sometimes more of a
strain to avoid a fight than to
come out slugging. Jean may
be gaining more health through
her battle than she
could in any other way.
Jean probably now has a very
thorough understanding of her
own strengths and weaknesses.
She does not need advice from
those who do not have this
complete understanding Of her
mental, emotional capacity. If
she finds she should need some
help, she knows where she can
go to get it-her doctor.

When I must spend time
waiting for . story to break,
! like to sit 1t out with news
paper photographers. These are
q special breed Of men. They
have patience, humor and q
native shrewdnesS that cannot
be taught IN college. They stake
their lives on a Graphic as or
Q Grafiex or a Rollicord 3.5.
They differ from many re-
porters on metropolitan news
papers because the reporter to-
day has become a specialist.
If his beat is crime, he may not
shine at public utilities hear
ing. Should he be a star at
covering the story Of a little
girl who lost her doll, he may
be a pretty poor bet for the
story Of an opening night. The
photographer covers them all.
Sometimes, he must invent.
In the summer, his boss may
growl: Go out and get me a
hot weather feature" This
means that the photographer
has to figure out his own pic
ture and go get 1t. He may find
q horse being doused with a
hose. or q traffic cop hopping
his brow and looking at a ther-
mometer. Years ago. Jesse
Strait went out in Brooklyn
and cadged q cutie-pie age 8
and followed her down q shop
ping district. She had q pink
parasot.
At each street, she took of
one Of her garments and
dropped 1t. Strait was directly
behind her, shooting pictures
as she went. When she removed
her panties and shoes, she
walked only with the parasol.
At last. she came to q plumb
er's shop and saw a bathtub on
display. She got in 1t, paraSol
and all, and that was Jesse's
final shot.
He invented the whole thing,
OF course.
POOf!
Sometimes they make mis-
takes. Twenty-Five years ago,
Tommy Flanagan was sent to
a Loew's theater to shoot q pic
ture Of 900 imported canaries.
They were in the lobby, chirp-
ing happily. In those days, pho
tographers used powder and a
fash pan. Tommy set up his
camera. poured a lot of pow
der. and poof!-600 dead cana
ries.
The coroner said they had
had simultaneous heart attacks,
fairly unusual for imported ca
ilaries. Someone in the Sunday
Mirror. in New York. did as
much for trained fieas. The
man who owned them brought
them to the newspaper and
ordered them to pull a very tiny
cannon across the table. The
photographer blinked his flash
bulb at them and the trained
fieas were fried to a crisp, still
pulling.
Sc And yet. that isn't as bad q
mistake as the photographer on
The coast who was called in by
his boss to make a picture. The
boss had been listening to a
happy man explain that he had
trained one flea for many years.
He took the flea out Of q box
and put him on q desk and had
him hold q miniature American
nag, march, do q dance, tumble
and do q drunk act.
