Muncie Central High School School was dismissed Thursday and Friday while the teachers attended the convention of the Indiana State Teachers Association which meets in Indianapolis each year at this time. Several of the instructors were scheduled to participate in a number of the programs on tap for the affair.

Miss Kathleen Meehan, instructor of journalism and Munsonian faculty advisor, entrained for Franklin college, Thursday morning, together with nine members of the student publication staff, to attend the annual convention Oi the Indiana High School Press Association held there each year. One of the features on the program were talks given by Leland Stowe, one of the outstanding foreign correspondents in the Unitea States when employed in that capacity on the New York HeraldTribune, and Pulitzer Prize winner in the foreign correspondent division in 1930. Members of the local staff attending were the Misses June Sanders, Munsonian editor; Harriet Beuoy, associate editor; Betty Sue Nichols, Marthadel Mansfield, Bernieda Boyd, Yeretta Sutton, June Nicewanner, iMary Ellen Newton and Martha Jayne Tesch. Coach Walter H. Fisher returned from the convention early Friday afternoon to begin a concerted practice session with the Bearcat football squad in preparation for the game with the Newcastle Trojans next Friday night. A large part of the drills scheduled for next week will be devoted to ways of coping with the Trudger passes. Pass defense will be strongly stressed by the Purple mentor in forthcoming team practices.

Ball State Students were dismissed from classes Thursday and Friday while the professors attended the annual state teachers convention in Indianapolis. Several of the instructors hold important offices in the association while others are on the speaking list.

Coach Johnny Magnaboscoe wiii take the Ball State football squad to Greencastle Saturday afternoon where they will tangle with the DePauw eleven in the latter’s annual homecoming festivities. It is hoped by Cardinal partisans that better luck will be forthcoming than was Ijhe case in the Valparaiso game here last week.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Commissioners of the County of Delaware, Indiana, wi.'I receive sealed proposals up to the hour of 10 o’clock a. m. on Monday the 28th day of October, 1935, at the office of the Auditor of said County, for laying of all brick necessary in the construction of the Hospital Unit at the Delaware County Infirmary.

DON’T BE A KNOCKER 'By THE LITTLE ENGINEER ’A RE you ping-ping-pinging along the road? Do your valves stick and pop-pop-pop up t&e highway? These are everyday occurrences in the life of the average motorist. Carbon is the epidemic disease of motors. It is a natural result of combustion. There are many ways of eliminating carbon and sticky valves. You can have your garage man or mechanic burn or scrape it out and clean the valve stems and guides. This is not a very costly operation but requires time and the consequent loss of use of your car. There is a much easier way, however — just purchase a gasoline which in itself is a carbon solvent. Any one of the gasolines of this type will keep the valve stems clean and eliminate the "pop”—it removes the carbon deposit from the piston heads and eliminates the "ping.” It is the least costly and surest method of keeping the car’s "innards” clean. It saves money, time and annoyances.

When we get used to a good thing, we feel that w r e deserve it.

But w r e never feel that way about period in 1934,

C. A. JACKSON, Director Indiana Gross Income Tax Some people like to make the subject of taxation complicated ^nd mystifying, but not so with Clarence A. Jackson, directotr of the gross income tax division of Indiana. He has a faculty for making the subject easily understood and for that reason has been a popular speaker over the state the past year and a half. Mr. Jackson’s home is in Newcastle. He is a former state commander of the American Legion. When Mr. Jackson was appointed to his present position by Governor Paul V. McNutt in 1933, he was faced with the task of administering a new law unlike any then existing in the country. Education of various groups to their responsibilities under the new law was immediately necessary. During his first year as gross income tax director Mr. Jackson averaged three and a half talks a week and visited nearly every county in the state. Most of these addresses were before Rotax - y clubs. Lions club, Kiwanis Clubs, trade associations, farm bureaus, labor bodies and other business

organizations.

At the same time Mr. Jackson has directed the formation of a department which now handles the collection of more than $13,000,000 annually, principally for use by local schools of the state. Gross income tax collections for the first half of 1935 were 10 per cent above those for the same

Each bid shall be accompanied by a non-collusion affidavit as provided by law, and also a bond in the sum of $500 with surety to the approval of Said Board of Commissioners and conditioned for the faithful performance of said work, if said bid is accepted. Board reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Dated this 18th day of October, 1935. GUS AUGUST MEYERS, Auditor Delaware County, Ind. Oct. 18 & 25. *

“DEATH TAKES NO HOLIDAY! STOP THIEF!”

New Weapons Released to Fight Against Two Evils

Who has eyes, let him look. Who lias ears, let him hear. Tw r o new weapons for use against two threats to the lives and pocketbooks of our people have just been released by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. These are the National Bureau’s Yisomatic talking picture productions, “Death Takes No Holiday,” and “Stop That Thief!” The first deals with the motor traffic problem and has been prepared as a guide for the accident reduction activities of civic groups throughout the country. The second exposes to public view the fraudulent accident claim racket. Both piptures present their story and their message in 15 minutes, and are adapted to presentation before any sized audience. They are talking-slide-films, dramatically integrated pictures with the voice accompaniment recorded on synchronized discs. “Death Takes No Holiday” pottrays compactly the whole traffic safety problem and seeks out the basic cause which it accurately defines as “You, the average person, not only w hen you are driving but when you are walking.” It depicts by a vivid method the way in which automobile accidents most commonly occur. It describes the automobile safety work that hao already been done and the organizations actively engaged. It presents what must be done and how it is to he done, a comprehensive program which is “up to you,” aimed at the vitals of the automobile accident evil. Fraudulent Claim Racket “Stop That Thief” outlines how the fraudulent claim racket has grown from a negligible status to the point in 1930-31 when thousands of claims had the taint ot suspicion on them. The picture describes in detail the w'ay fake claim rings work and the economic and social consequences to all business and to all individuals. It tells what the insurance companies and the police are attempting to do and show's what groups and persons working together can do to rid society of the cancer of fake and fraudulent claims. There is hot a community in the entire country which does not desire to take action against the haunting menace of death, injury and destruction on the street and highway. Every community should be willing to extend itself to crush those parasites in its midst who make a rat-like living on money they extort from their honest fellows. Many times in both cases the only lack is a force that is at once motivating and cohesive. Thes r ' pictures hope to fill this lack. They can and are inteuded to be used to arouse a community— through showings to interested groups—to take concerted and determined action. Only in such away can the rising curve of automobile deaths, which in 1934 touched a new and awful high of 36,000, be turned downward. Only in such a way can the grasping hands of the fraudulent claim racketeers be kept from the millions of dollars which they dishonestly appropriate to themselves every year.

No Joke to Be A Pedestrian The National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters points out that of the 36,000 fatalities resulting from automobile accidents last year, 16,000 were pedestrians. Two elements of this situation are important. One is the statistical truth that by far the greater number of pedestrians involved in accidents are doing things which they should not do. The other is that a pedestrian may be in the right, but that doen’t reduce the disadvantage at which he will al-

ways be until collision-proof armor j is invented. Ironically the pedestrian has become standard material for the jokesmiths and cartoonists just as the henpecked husband or the taxpayer. No doubt we shall have a new version of the old wheeze, making it the pedestrian, not the chicken, who crosses the road to get to the other side. The premise of many jokes, that the pedestrian is a persecuted animal, does not hold water. The pedestrian is safe from any automobile if he observes a few commands : 1. Cross only at intersections. 2. Cross with the traffic signal whenever there is one. 3. Keep children off the street. 4. On rural highways walk to the left facing oncoming traffic. 5. Avoid walking from behind parked cars. 6. Look! o BIBLE SALESMAN SINS Warsaw. Ind.—Ralph E. Draper, itinerant Bible salesman, will have ample time for careful study of his wares.
