The history of Greencastle for a period of more than fifty years, was one of uninterrupted prosperity. During that time no great calamity of any kind befell the city to mar the general prosperity or happiness of its citizens. No great epidemic or contagion has ever spread within its borders, and the religious character of its citizens has allowed no normal deformity to rear itself in their midst. The history of the city up to the memorable night of October 28, 1874, show a remarkable exemption from fires, only four of any note having occurred previous to that date. These were the destruction of Mr. Sinclair’s woolen mill in 1865, Mrs. Higert’s brewery in 1871, Mr. Gago’s flour mill in 1872, and the female college in the year following. In consequence of this immunity from anything like a general conflagration, the city was totally unprepared for such an emergency when the time of trial came. On the night mentioned, about half past 10 o’clock, the planing-mill of C.J. Kimble & Son caught fire and was soon enveloped in flames. A brisk gale from the southwest carried the burning embers in its course, and in a short space of four of five hours nearly six squares of the best business blocks and private residences were laid waste. In those few hours were consumed thirtyseven business houses, twelve dwellings, two livery-stables, one hotel, one furniture-factory, one express office and the post office. Added to these, a large number of out-houses and a vast amount of personal property fell prey to the devouring flames. Both in its suddenness and destructiveness, the damage done to Greencastle was greater in proportion to size, population and wealth, than that done to Chicago by the great fire in that city. At the Anniversary meeting held by the citizens one year after the fire, the committee on losses and insurance reported a loss of capital amounting to $256,134, on which there was an insurance of $116,281. The same committee reported that there should be added to the above sum a considerable amount of unestimated loss making the the total much larger than that presented, and the historical committee placed their estimate at the sum of $400,000. On the night of March 8, 1875, another fire broke out, originating in Sherfey’s furniture store. The flames were soon communicated to the block of buildings fronting on the south side of the square, the best block remaining in the city. The reported losses by this fire were in the aggregate $43,077, on which there was an insurance of $37,627. Never did the character of Greencastie's citizens show to better advantage than that during the year succeeding the fire. Within that time, there were made, or nearly completed, brick and stone improvements to the value of $252,000 and wooden buildings and repairs worth $98,305, making a total of $350,805. These works required the consumption of 4, 865.000 brick, and stone valued as it came from the quarry at $30,000. During the same period, there were made by the city, street improvements worth $6, 000. Within the same time, the

city had provided two fire-en-gines, two engine-houses with alarm-bells, eleven cisterns and one pool, having a united capacity of nearly ten thousand barrels, and there was organized a fire department in two companies already well drilled and disciplined, to fight the firefiend wherever he might show his lurid front.

Bible Thought For Today Moreover ye see and hear, ; that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands.—Acts 19:26.

In Memory In loving memory of our Mother, Garnett Merrine Brown, who passed away Oct. 15, 1959. Seven years have passed since that sad day When the one we loved passed away. Time may change, year by year and friends, day by day But sweet memories of you will never fade away. Life is not the same Mom, since you went away. Sadley missed by daughters, Helen Fender, Wilma Moore, and Catherine Miller. Bainbridge Cast To Present Play Bainbridge Thespian Troop 1478 will present a delightful 3-act comedy, "Ask Any Girl,” on Friday, October 21, 7:30 p. m., in the high school gymnasium. This Winifred Wolfe comedy features Meg Wheeler, who felt stifled and unable to “express herself” in her small home town where she’s just graduated from college. So, Meg comes to New York, intent on enlarging her horizon—by that she means finding a husband. Meg moves into a boarding house in Manhattan that is filled with attractive girls, most of them just aa eager as Meg to find that Ideal Man. Meg had a unique ability to invent plausible statistics. “According to statistics” she used to tell her parents, “Ninetyfive point two per cent of girls over fifteen wear lipstick” and "eighty-two point four per cent of girls over sixteen are allowed to stay out till midnight.” However, when Mog tries her home-made statistics on the mathematically inclined Miles Doughton, head of an advertising firm, the system fails. Knowing how Meg feels about his younger brother, Evan Doughton, and a little fed up with his younger brother’s lazy, never-go-to-work-on - time attitude, Miles Doughton decides to give her a hand in snaring Evan. Together Miles and Meg, using the latest advertising techniques, set out to trap the girl-chasing Evan into marriage. The hilarious results as they “apply motivation research” build to a delightful climax in which we discover an unexpected surprise. The wide-eyed, husband-seek-ing, just-out-of-college career girl, Meg Wheeler, is played by Donna South. Mike Clodfelter plays the stiff-necked, Madison Avenue, advertising agent, while his can’t-take-life-or girls younger brother is played by Gary Richards. Residents of Madison Avenue Girls’ Hotel are: Ada (Carol Evens), Lisa (Debbie Summer a), Ruby (Becky McFarland), Heidi (Marla Bi lb ruck), Jeannie (Sandy Witty), and Terri (Vicki Wallace); and Meg’s smalltown family, Mrs. Wheeler (Carolyn Smith), Mr. Wheeler (Mike White), Aunt Fern (Barbar Sutherlin) and Aunt Lettie (Patty O’Hair); and Vince (David English), Alvin (Doyne Cruse), Ellen and Jane (Debbie Bunn and Diane Evens) complete the cast. Carolyn Roth and Mary Rayfield are student directors under the supervision of Mrs. June Irwin. This play is produced with special permission by Dramatic Publishing Company.

TWO MEN MOVE HOUSE Above is pictured a 1% story seven room house being moved from the property of Mr. and Mrs. James Goodin, south of Mt. Meridian, to a lot owned by Urban Goss, nearby. This large home was moved through two fields and the work was done by Mr. Goodin with his tractor and Mr. Goss’ truck. They did the work themselves. The house is a well built older home and was erected about 62 years ago by Venard and Daisy McCammack, parents of Mrs. Goodin. A new homo has been built by the Goodins, a large three bedroom brick and stone L type ranch house. They recently moved into the new residence, built near the site of the older homeplace.

-African Program (Continued from Page 1) Leone, Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi and Egypt. International programs director Dr. William Petrek returned from Africa last month after a 76-day trip. He conferred with academicians and officers of several governments in some countries visited by the President plus Senegal, Zambia and Tunisia. A third university representative, Dr. Dwight Ling, assistant dean, is scheduled to direct a DePauw student group in Tunisia during the second semester. This experiment in North Africa could be a prelude to opening a center there. Hie project African program and an already established center at Freiburg University in Germany are a part of DePauw’s long range plan to accelerate study abroad. With faculty approval, adequate financial resources and mutually agreeable commitments between overseas institutions and DePauw, the university is hopeful that as many as sixty percent of the members of subsequent junior classes may spend all or part of a year overseas. Stiff Penalty For Klan Leader WASHINGTON UPI—Robert M. Shelton, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, today was slapped with the maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine for contempt of Congress. He said he would appeal. Shelton, 36, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., was convicted Sept. 19 by a federal court jury of refusing to turn over subpoenaed Klan documents to a subcommittee of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities. His lawyer, Lester V. Chalmers, asked U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica to impose a fine

only.

“In my opinion, Mr. Shelton is not a criminal,” Chalmers said. “I don’t think he could ever commit a criminal offense.” Sirica read portions of a probation officer’s report on an interview with Shelton, then impoied the maximum eentence. In the report the probation officer said Shelton told him he w*s convicted because members of the jury — six Negroes and six whites — w-ere prejudiced against him. He also said he was a victim of political expedience.

UPI — A 4,000-ton freighter carrying $250,000 worth of potash sank in the Welland Canal five miles north of here Friday. The 441-foot Stonefax, of Montreal, went down in 37 feet of water after colliding with the Norwegian vessel Arthur Stove. The Stonefax’s 25-man crew was evacuated and no injuries were reported. The Arthur Stove, headed for Detroit with a cargo of steel was apparently undamaged by the collision. The other vessel showed two gaping holes measuring six feet in diameter in her side. The sunken ship did not completely block the canal but shipping was halted because of the risk of the freighter shifting position.

Price Increase For Farmers Is Long Overdue: Secretary Freeman

Secretary of Agxiculutre Orville L. Freeman said recently “It Is Important that the public understands the difference between food prices at retail, and the prices farmers receive for their products. They’re two different things. While retail food prices are up from last year, farm prices still are lower than they were 20 years ago. Specifically, farm prices in June 1966 were 1% per cent below the 1947-49 base period; retail food prices were 34 per cent higher. Giving an example of what happens to farmers when prices are too-long depressed, the Secretary said, “Over the past year, dairy fanners have left the farm at twice the usual rate, and the number of dairy Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK UPI — William R. White of Homblower A Weeks, Hemphill, Noyes says that after such an extensive retreat it would seem logical to expect a strong technical recovery. White says a retracement of from one-third to onehalf of recent losses would seem a reasonable hope if no unexpected favorable outside news development disturbs confi-

dence.

R.E. Buchsbaum of W.E. Hutton & Co. says in his opinion the return of the two way market of shorts and a convincing climax in high flyers can be viewed as the most constructive development in

some weeks.

Bache A Co. says it feels the manner in which the market handles the next consolidation period could be important but nevertheless, the firm says blue chip leadership is a favorable element that was not present during previous abortive rallies.

Card of Thanks I want to thank the Doctors, Nurses, Nurse Aids for their kindness and help while I was in the hospital; also my friends, neighbors and relatives and the Thursday Club for their Sunshine Gifts, cards and lovely flowers. Ruth Terry

cows has dropped to the lowest level since 1900. If this trend continues, the consumer will eventually have to pay much higher prices than presently, because milk will be in short

supply.

The Secretary said that recent price increases received by farmers are not only "necessary if most farmers are to continue in business, but long overdue.” Speaking to 300 Rural Electrification Administration Fieldmen in Washington, the Secretary said he had carried the price-spread story to the public in 11 press conferences, 18 radio and TV interviews, and 12 briefing sessions since mid-July, “because food prices have risen higher than modest farm price increases justify,” and “it’s important that the public doesn’t make the farmer the scapegoat for these retail price hikes. “I want to clear up any misunderstanding or confusion,” Secretary, Freeman continued. “I have not charged middlemen with profiteering or collusion. ■ In the main, our processors, retailers, and other members of the food marketing community have done an excellent job of serving consumers—the best in the world. But I do know that bread, for instance, has risen in some cases three cents at retail in response to a half-cent increase at the farm level. Milk has risen from two to three cents in response to a one-cent increase at the farm level.” The Federal Trade Commission has been asked by Mr. Freeman to investigate these rises and, if collusion or profiteering exist, to expose them. This is in the interest of everyone—farmer, consumer, and the

marketing sector.

In Memory In memory of Bruce E. Helton, who passed away Oct. 15, 1965. Oh, golden memories of one so dear, Dwell in our fondest thoughts today, While heavenly things can seem so near, And earthly things seem far away, So, may it be when days have passed, Our present work and journey o’er. In happiness we shall meet at last, Mid the beauty of the other shore. Sadly missed by wife and daughter and family.

V434TOim.. 9r UCSTEB L. COLEMAN, MJ>. Bleeding After Tonsillectomy

SIX days after my son had his tonsils and adenoids removed he had a hemorrhage and was rushed back to the hospitaL Fortunately, it was stopped in a few minutes. We returned home and he had no further difficulty. He was 7 years old at the time. Now another son, aged 6, is to have his tonsils removed. Is he likely to have a hemorrhage? Is there anything we we can do to prevent it? Dr. Coleman Mrs. H. T., Illinois Dear Mrs. T.: Fortunately, post-operative bleeding occurs now so rarely that it is not anticipated as a danger. You describe the bleeding as a “hemorrhage,” yet the fact that it was so quickly controlled would seem to indicate that there was slight or moderate bleeding, but not “hemorrhag-

ing.”

To use the term “hemorrhage” can serve only to frighten those who, like yourself, are contemplating a needed tonsillectomy for their chil-

dren.

Actually, the slightest amount of blood on a towel or when emptied into a wash basin can look like a hemorrhage to an anxious parent. But this is not a hemorrhage, any more than a slight cut on the finger could be classed as a hemorrhage. Both are readily controlled by a little bit of pressure. Why does bleeding ever occur after such an operation? When the tonsils and adenoids are removed, the underlying tissue and muscles are unprotected by normal lining. In rare instances, a small blood vessel may open and bleed. This may occur a few hours after the operation, and Is easily controlled. Or, even after an otherwise easy post-

operative period, there may he some bleeding between the 6th and 10th day after surgery. This, too, happens infrequently and is controlled without complications. The ‘Tate” bleeding is explained by an opening of a small blood vessel when the yellowish crust or scab is discarded during the process of healing. Can bleeding be related to the skill with which the operation was performed? No. And, despite popular beliefs, bleeding is almost never caused by a particular type of food, by crying, or by activity. The most common cause of such bleeding is a mild infection. The use of antibiotics before the operation and during the first week after surgery has markedly reduced the occurrence of bleeding. The .use of vitamin K before such surgery is valueless unless there is a definitely known deficiency of this vitamin. Before any surgery is undertaken in a child or adult, a complete blood study must be performed to uncover a lurking infection or an inherited bleeding tendency. Physicians usually cancel all but emergency operations if an infection seems to be brewing. It is not likely that your second son will have similar difficulty. Your anxiety must not be transferred to him if he is to take the surgical experience in stride, without fear. a • a SPEAKING OF YOTJK HEALTH—-There is no medical evidence that copper bracelets affect the onset or core of arthritis. Subscribing to this belief may sell more bracelets, bat it does not help arthritis.
