OWNER WARNING SOUNDED NEARBY

Blackford County Officials Cracks Down On Operation Of Machines Hartford City, Ind., Jan. 7.— Following an exhaustive investi* gation in the county of juvenile matters, which have brought four young men into court, Prosecutor Alfred Hollander issued a statement over the week-end regarding the operation of pin ball machines in the county. This statement was given to city police to be read to all persons having such machines in their places of business. The statement set out that parents of juveniles had complained of their children spending money on such machines and added that in some cases this money had been obtained unlawfully by the children and spent on the machines. The statement also said that to permit minors to play such machines, or to visit pool rooms, or to play pool, might lead, under the law, to charges of encouraging delinquency of minors. Conviction on such charges could result in fines up to $500 or sentence up to six months, or both, the statement said. Two boys of juvenile age were in court this week. No moral charges were involved. One boy, 15 years of age, was charged with being delinquent for loitering about at night and for other infractions of probation regulations. He was placed on probation for a period of two years and is to make weekly written reports to the authorities. The other boy is charged with petit larceny for the alleged taking of a sum of money. In connection with the case of the 15-year-old boy, another youth, beyond the juvenile age, faces a charge in juvenile court of encouraging delinquency. This youth is Elmer Yates, who was 18 in September. He denied the charge, furnished bond in the sum of $500 and retained an attorney. City authorities at Montpelier Thursday issued a similar warning regarding pin ball machines, announcing that minors 18 years of age or under were not to be permitted to play them.

Drastic Censorship of Argentina Press Buenos Aires, Jan. 7. — Publication of all news or editorials contrary “to the nation’s interest or upsetting public order” was prohibited today under a series of “press statutes” bringing Argentina newspapers, foreign correspondents, and press associations under strict control. The statutes, published yesterday by the under-secretary of information and press, empowered his office to withdraw from circulation all publications not meeting requirements. Other news prohibited included “all attempts against Christian morals,” “all attempts against good relations between Argentina and friendly nations”—Argentina is the only South American country maintaining relations with Germany — “all injurious statements against public officials” and all “entirely or partially erroneous information misleading the public in detriment to the general interest.” Foreign correspondents must deliver copies of all their news and other dispatches to the under-sec-retary within four hours of transmission—in effect placing them under the same restrictions as to what they may send as what Argentina newspapers may publish. o UNDERTAKERS SAY BURIAL FEE TOO LOW, DELAY BURIALS

Vincennes, Ind., Jan. 7.—A dispute between Vincennes funeral parlor directors and the Knox County Welfare Department over the price of funerals today held up burial of two old-age pension receivers. A notice was served by the funeral directors to the Welfare Board that they would have to receive more than $100 for burial of Welfare cases. They said the $100 rate often caused them to take a loss. Mrs. Evalyn Dunbar, the board’s acting director, said the cost was set by the Indiana General Assembly, and that relatives of the deceased may not contribute to the funeral expenses unless it is deducted from the $100. o PRISON POPULATION LOW.

Michigan, City, Jan. 7.—The Indiana state prison population stood at 1,986 inmates today, the lowest figure since 1928, Warden Alfred Dowd said. Dowd credited better times and abundant jobs for decrease in admissions.

Definite Fair Dates To Be Set

Indianapolis, Jan. 7.

Definite

dates for the various rndiana county fair trotting race circuits were expected to be set at regular meetings of the circuits later this month, it was indicated as Hoosier fair managers concluded a two-day conference yesterday. Secretary Woodruff Arbuckle of the Indiana Trotting and Pacing Horse Association said that far more than a majority of the fairs are assured dates, although definite times have not been assigned. He said there was a possibility that there would be nine or 10 weeks of racing if some fair managers would be willing to switch their dates. At a regular meeting of District No. 2 of the U. S. Trotting Association, held in conjunction with the state meeting, Sep Palin, noted driver, was re-elected to a three-year term as director by a unanimous vote of the fair managers. — o —— The cameras in a Lockheed “Lightning”’ flying at 30,000 feet can’ record tire tracks, according to Flying Magazine. o BUY WAR BONDS

Butter Now Spreads Twice As Far

To save precious ration stamps as well as cash, the frugal housewife can make her butter go twice as far by mixing with it evaporated milk, advises Jean Allen of the Kroger Food Foundation. Such a combination of dairy products maintains a high vitamin and fat content in the spread, this economist points out. The process is simple, Jean Allen indicates above. All that is necessary is to leave a pound of butter at. room temperature till it is soft, or about the consistency necessary for creaming for cake. Add a teaspoonful of salt. Then with an electric mixer or rotary beater mix a tall can of evaporated milk (also at room temperature) and the pound of butter. A few drops of vegetable coloring may be added if desired. The resultant mixture is then kept covered in the refrigerator till used. There you have two pounds of nutritious, appetizing spread for bread, Miss Allen shows. The money cost is materially reduced, and also, while a pound of butter costs 16 ration points, it can thus be stretched to two pounds of spread at a cost of only one more ration point.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES •' “Sacrament” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, January 9. The Golden Text is: “The bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world” (John 6:33). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not ’ greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them” (John 13:12-17). ! The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Through the magnitude of his human life, he demonstrated the divine Life. Out of the amplitude of his pure affection, he defined Love. With the affluence of Truth, he van--quished error. The world acknowledged not his righteousness, seeing it not; but earth received the harmony his glorified example introduced” (p. 54).

IT NEVER FAILS

WILLKIE TARGET OF SOVIET IRE

Pravda Accusses Him Of Double Dealing In American Politics

New York, Jan. 7.—Wendell L. Wil’kie said today that he had no comment on Pravd^’s charges. The article referred to apeared in last Sunday’s New York Times magazine and was titled “Don’t Stir Distrust of Russia.” In the article, Willkie urged the American people to adopt a “common sense” attitude toward Russia, based on mutual interest rather than emotionalism.

Moscow, Jan. 5 — The official Communist party newspaper Pravda today accused Wendell L. Willkie of “double-dealing” in American politics and of attempting to create distrust of the Soviet Union among voters in the United States. Pravda charged that Willkie was trying to appeal to the majority of Americans who are sympathetic to Russia and at the same time was “currying favor” with anti-' Soviet elements in America. The newspaper’s political commentator, Daniel Zaslavsky, who wrote the attack on Willkie, centered his fire on a recent article written for the New York Times by the one-time Republican presidential candidate, in which Willkie urged Americans not to sow distrust of Russia. Zaslavsky charged that the article had created exactly the opposite effect and accused Willkie of “muddying the water” of SovietAmerican relations. Writer Indignant He expressed particular indignation at Willkie’s discussion of the problems of Finland, Poland, and

the Baltic countries. Warning Willkie to stop nlaying politics with Russian problems, Zaslavsky wrote: “It is time to understand that the Baltic problem is an internal affair of the Soviet Union in which Mr. Willkie myst not meddle. “Whoever is interested in such questions had better familiarize himself with the Soviet constitution and the fact that a democratic plebiscite once was carried out in the Baltic republics, and let him rememioer that we are able effectively to defend our constitution. “Apropos of Finland and Poland, not to mention the Balkan states, the Soviet Union can make the necessary agreements with those countries and does not need Mr. Willkie’s help.” Zaslavsky accused Willkie of “borrowing” from German propaganda. “Mr. Willkie, like a faithful mouthpiece, repeats the suspicious shouts of those reactionary circles which fear the victorious forward march of the Red army and the allied armies,” te Soviet commentator wrote. “The secret partisans of Fascist adventures in Europe have fallen into a critical situation. And Willkie speaks of a certain ‘crisis’ approaching the United Nations. Isn’t this political gambling of the strangest type?” Discounting Willkie’s professed political realism, Zaslavsky said the New York Times article was intended solely to win support from both pro an,d anti-Soviet- elements among the American electorate. “He wants to serve both sides,” he said. “For this purpose he stirs up the waters so he can more easily fish for votes in mirddy waters. “This game is too crude. By playing both the cards of trust and distrust, the political gambler only earns distrust for himself.”
