Indiana Railroad (Division of Wesson Company) announces delivery on two more new busses this month, bringing the total to seven new vehicles received this year. Six more, new and modern, highway coaches, costing approximately $14,000 each, are expected to be delivered around the first of the year. According to John T. Martin, company vice president and manager, the new buses are part of a fleet order placed in November, 1945. As the new equipment is delivered, smaller and oldere buses are being retired from service. Within a few months, new vehicles will be operating on all of the Company’s schedules. Indiana Railroad operates service from Indianapolis to Terrq, and from Indianapolis to Ft.

Wayne, one route through Muncie and Anderson, and another through Kokomo, and Peru. The Company also provides service from Indianapolis to Ft. Harrison. Modernization of the transit system 'started in 1944-45 when a fleet of 20 new coaches were purchased at an approximate cost of $250,000. The new 37-passenger buses were ordered from General American Aerocoach Company, Chicago, and embody latest features for passengers’ safety and comfort. Aisle seats are of the recliner type; reading lights are individually controlled by passengers, and the buses include latest ventilating and heating equipment. The vehicles are of welded, tubular steel construction.

Portland, Ore.—Hurley Hobbs, | bon vivant, gourmet, and world’s ' champion parking meter-sitter, has announced his revolutionary plan to eat well and cheaply in restaurants. Hobbs, who first came into prominence as a rival to Jim Moran, the ostrich egg-hatcher, by sitting out the spare minutes departing motorists leave on parking meters, obtained a list of Portland restaurants “under new management.” “I am eating better and cheaper than ever before the war, despite general price increases,” Hobbs confided. “It’s so simple. I merely tour the restaurants ‘under new management.’ I eat for a week at each one, and quit just before the management starts cutting down on food and the waitresses get tired of my jokes. “Example: today I had the. 60cent blue plate at a new upstairs grill. Soup, a good salad, tomato stuffed with real sea food; radishes, little green onions and slices of raw carrot on the side; really hot rolls, two cups of coffee and ice cream. “But by next week, they’ll drop off the soup or water it down. Week after thajt will go the radishes. Then the rolls will get cold and by October, you’ll have to bring your own tomato.” Hobbs explained that the restaurant owners’ association told him returning servicemen and retired “milliionaire” war workers all were going into the cafe business and the “management turnover has reached an all-time

peak.”

Elaborating further on his technique, Hobbs said: You can also skip the tip for a

Noah John, Adriondacks Hermit Draws Line At Clocks And Women

Cold River City, N. Y. —Noah John Rondeau, gray-bearded 63-year-old mite of a man, is the mayor and population all in one of his self-styled Cold River City, perched on the edge of a 75-foot ravine 30-odd miles from nowhere in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. Noah is a hermit. He loves the woods and isn’t as lonely as many another person sitting in a crowded railroad station. But, paradoxically, Noah finds the world beating a path to the wilderness door of his Town Hall, as a sign proclaims his cabin to be. Noah, whose nearest neighbor is 19 miles away, necessarily has few visitors. The forest rangers, who pass by eve^ few weeks or so, are his best friends. But lately, the newspapers, movies and radio have been after him for his story. To see Noah, you start out from “civilization,” 38 miles away at Saranac Lake, and hike into the woods — unless you’re lucky enough to hitch a ride part-way on a forest fire-fighting truck. Noah has been living in the woods more than 30 years now— 15 of them as a professed hermit.

His one-man community boasts no modern conveniences, not even a kerosene stove. Time means little to the aging solitary. If he wants to know the hour, he just takes a squint at the sun. Noah doesn’t believe in clocks. “Busted up the last one I had ’cause the derned thing kept waking me up with the ticking,” he said. No Mrs. Rondeau There never has been a Mrs. Rondeau. Noah doesn’t like women. “Never did like women ai’ound,” he said. “They talk only once a day, from morning ’til night, and besides, they want to boss a man around. Then they sometimes want to bring their mother to live with you.” Despite his isolated home, Noah is pretty well up on affairs of today. He scans his weeks-old newspapers avidly, whenever the rangers or passing hikers leave them. “I’ve read up a good deal on atomic power, and in a way I was sorry they made a war weapon out of it. But the way it saved so many of our boys’ lives, I guess it was a good thing,” Noah com-

good time to break the labor unions. Wages had been held dwn to the Little Steel Formula while the cost of living had soared far above it. Labor which had kept no strike pledge, despite the injustice, thought the end of the war would be a good time for wages to be raised to equal the rise in living cost. Industry went on strike to raise prices and labor went on strike to raise wages, This tie up of sorely needed production aggravated the irritation, impatience and confusion of the

people.

In the fourth place, Mr. Truman failed to get any cooperation from Congress. A majority of both Houses was of the same political party as the President, but he failed to get the co-operation of his own party members. Early this year, the President presented a very good twenty-one point program to Congress. A program favored by a great majority of the people, but the most bungling and most misrepresentive of all our Congresses failed to pass any worthwhile portion of it. This bungling and misrepresentation on the part of Congress disappointed, confused and irritated the people. The paradox is that the people were so confused and irritated that they votde for the very principles which had been responsible for their disappointment. Such a course only added insult to injury, and is certain to make bad matters worse. In voting for the reactionary principles that had disappointed them, the people acted like an excited and confused chicken which commits suicide by jumping in the path

of an approaching car.

In the next place, Mr. Truman, a Democratic President wfto could not get the co-operation of a Democratic Congress, is now faced with a far more difficult

“Then you move on and start all over again.” mented. He also has his opinions on world affairs. Denying that he’s an isolationist, Noah nevertheless believes the United States is “too concerned about other countries.” Noah went to New York City once, 20 years ago. But he didn’t like the looks of the place. “Everybody seemed a-bustling. It was all helter-skelter to me.” Used to be, Noah would trek the 38 miles to Saranac Lake twice a year to do his marketing. But of late the rangers have been packing supplies for him. Fellow can’t be a real hermit, in his estimation, if he wants to run out to the market every so often. o Legal Notice NOTICE OF SCHOOL BUS BIDS Notice is hereby given the the undersigned trustee of Salem Township, Delaware County, State of Indiana, will receive sealed bids for the purchase of one 42 passenger school bus at the office of said Trustee in the town of Daleville, Indiana, until 7:00 n. m. on the 2nd day of December, 1946.

of a number of large American concerns by various commercial devices and eventually came into complete ownership of them. Aside from direct buying up of American companies, the report says, “the second method used by IG in returning to the American market was to renew and extend its cartel agreements with financially independent American

Congress. Both the President and some members of Congress have promised that they will forget partisan politics and co-operate for the good of the country, but everyone who know politics will take these promises witha big grain of salt. If precedency is any guide, we may be sure that Congress will be more interested in discrediting the President and his party and in electing a Republican President in 1948 than in the general welfare of

the people.

To climax the situation and to make the President’s embarrassment complete, Senator Fulbright, one of the Senators who has usually supported the President’s program, and the Chicago Sun, which has been an influential supporter of both Roosevelt and Truman, have publicly requested Mr. Truman to resign his office. Obviously, it is going to be very difficult for the President to carry on under such embarrassing circumstances. Both Mr. Truman and the whole liberal and progressive program are on the spot. The President certainly needs the sympathy, the prayers, and in-so-far as he stands for liberal and progressive principles, the support of every forward-looking man and woman wjio is interested in the progress of democracy. __ ____ C.

Black Market In Blood Plasma

Shanghai. — The American Red Cross demanded today that the Foreign Liquidation Committee withdraw tens of thounsands of blood plasma units — donated in wartime by patriotic Americans — from the lush Shanghai black market where it has been selling for two months at $25 a pint, U. S. money. The Commission sold the plasma to Shanghai merchants as “surplus” at approximately 50 cents a pint. Donald B. Davis, newly-ap-pointed field director of the Shanghai Foreign Liquadation Commission office, said he would do his best to buy back the plasma and turn it over to the Red Cross. Under military regulations all donated plasma and other Red Cross supplies unused by the armed forces is supposed to be returned to the Red Cross for distribution without cost to hospitals. The sale of the plasma became known when Chinese language newspapers began printing a series of advertising ballyhooing “American Plasma” as a “quick restorative for depleted systems.” These advertisements urged the user to write a letter to the American doner whose name appears on each box. Red Cross officials estimated that 294 measurement tons of plasma had found its way to the black market and that at current prices it would bring approximately $10,000,000, U. S. ihoney. o To Do Simultaneous Broadcast of 2 Games

Folks weren’t surprised when Bert Childers won first prize for his corn at the county fair. Yet the judges admit it wasn’t just because Bert had the finest ears of corn. He knew how to display them: neatly arranged, with the husks cleanly trimmed, and the booth white and spotless. ‘‘Trimmings” sure make a difference no matter what you’re offering—as Andy Botkin, keeper of the Garden Tavern, well knows. Andy doesn’t just sell good beer. He sells it in a place that’s clean and attractive... in nice surroundings that

belong with the enjoyment of a wholesome beverage of moderation. And Andy, of course, is a wholehearted supporter of “Self Regulation.” That’s the system by which the Brewers and tavern keepers themselves make sure that taverns selling beer are clean and orderly. From where I sit, people like Andy also rate a “First prize.” Not just for the quality of the product —but for the “trimmings” too.

Calf Brings Record Price at Guernsey Sale

CARY, ILL. — A new world’s record was hung up at the Curtiss Candy Guernsey sale when the six-months-old calf, Curtiss Candy Noble Deborah, was sold for $10,800. Purchaser was Mrs. F. L. Weyenberg of Thiensville, Wis., and consignor was Curtiss Candy Company. More than 3,000 Guernsey breeders attended the sale. Fifty purebred Guernsey cattle sold for a total of $145,400, or an average price of $2,908 a head. The cattle were consigned by leading breeders from 19 states and represented some of the most famous herds in the country. “Debbie,” shown here with her dam, Quail Roost Noble Primrose, was sired by Curtiss Candy Levity Chum.
