NUMBERS CHANGING INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - All state government telephone numbers here will be changed beginning Sept. 4, a Department of Administration spokesman said Monday. David Marks said phone numbers at the Statehouse, State Office Building and other state offices downtown and in the suburbs will be changed from a 633 prefix to a 232 prefix. Only state government will be using the new prefix, he said, noting that the 633 prefix was shared by state offices and some private businesses downtown. Marks said the change would “increase productivity of state government, provide more efficiency, more flexibility and a more favorable image to the calling public." CLAIMS DROP •' INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Despite layoffs for vacation, inventory and model change, unemployment insurance elaims dropped by 1,401 last week over the week before, the Indiana Employment Security Division says. But division director Robert N. Skinner said last week’s 61,406 claims were almost twice the 35,642 claims filed at the same time a year ago. Continued claims increased because of previous layoffs, he said, with the largest increase in Kokomo where two major plants released workers. TEACHERS HONORED WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) The Indiana Council for Economic Education has named eight Indiana school teachers winners of the Olin W. Davis awards for outstanding teaching of economics.

Cloverdale Scouts busy all summer

Ten members of Boy Scout Troop 93 of Cloverdale recently spent a week at summer camp. Bruce Whiting, Shawn Meek, Dave and Duane Doty, Mike Dodds and Dan Price camped at Camp Krietenstein to prepare for advancement and learn additional outdoor skills. Together these six scouts earned 15 merit badges and two skill awards in the areas of swimming, lifesaving, first aid, fishing, leatherwork, art, basketry, woodcarving and citizenship. The mile swim patch was earned by Whiting, Dodds and Dave Doty. Steve Kumpf, Don Jackman, Brad Carter and Scott Hutchinson attended an innovative week of outpost camping in southern Indiana. New this year was the Spelunking Outpost for experienced campers who enjoy exploring non-commercial and little known privately owned caves. ANOTHER TROOP 93 scout, Mike Carter, is spending the entire summer camping session as a staff member of Camp Krietenstein. All scouts were present on Wednesday evening for the im-

according to a report by the Indiana Judges Association. The net cost of operating the state’s courts was sl3 million in 1978 down $1 million from the year before while 60,000 more cases were filed. The total cost of court operations last year was nearly $34 million, but that was offset by s2l million in fees collected by the courts. One reason for the improved efficiency is the new county courts which handle small claims, misdemeanors and traffic cases, says Bruce A. Kotzan, executive director of the division of state court administration. ENERGY FORUM SET INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The American Legion has scheduled a forum on energy, at its national convention in Houston, Texas, Aug. 20, officials at Legion headquarters here say.

Kalisch, associate director of gas supply and statistics of the American Gas Association; and Keith Turley, president of Arizona Public Service Co. The Legion says officials from the U.S. Department of Energy also will address the session. BIDS TAKEN INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The federal government has taken bids for sealing dangerous openings at the abandoned Indiana pit mines. The apparent low bidder out of 16 this week was submitted by Zebrowski and Associates of Indianapolis, which bid $53,794 for work at the Maple Grove and Miami No. 10 mines in Vigo County. The next closest bid was more than $66,000, and most topped SIOO,OOO. A federal estimate forecast a cost of $120,000 for the job. PROFESSOR NAMED BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) C.

The troop has been active since the February Court of Honor. During the month of March they camped overnight in Marengo Cave. In April a campout was held on the Wright Patterson Air Force Base including a visit to the Air Force Museum. The Council’s Spring Camporee held in May and a three-day camp in June at Camp Kimsey helped prepare the troop for July’s long-term camp. Future activities presently planned include the summer Court of Honor on Aug. 10. The District’s Fall Camporee will be held at Camp Friend during September. TROOP 93 HAS 23 years of continuous service to Cloverdale scouts. The charter is held by Hurst-Collins Post 281, American Legion which provides meeting rooms and storage for troop equipment.

The Greencastle Jaycee YMCA Survey Committee met Tuesday night to firm up final plans for the door-to-door survey to be conducted throughout the county on Sunday, Aug. 26.

Mrs. Gardiner to head Russellville bike-a-thon

Mrs. Cheryl Gardiner has agreed to the chairmanship of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-A-Thon in Russellville, to raise funds to support the hospital, according to William J. Kirwen, director of development at the internationlly recognized hospital. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas.

JUDE’S, scientists and physicians are working side by side seeking not only better means of treatment, but also

Thanks to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, children who have leukemia, Hodgkins disease, sickle cell anemia, and other child killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The funds raised in the Bike-A-Thons this fall will assure the continuation of the life giving work at the hospital. THE CONCERN which Mrs. Gardiner has for the work being performed at St. Jude’s is greatly appreciated, and the children hope that the citizens of Russellville will support the upcoming Bike-A-Thon, Kirwen said.

94-year-old Hoosier building his own home

FRANKLIN, Ind. (AP) - Jesse Patterson once managed a Western Union office on the Wyoming frontier and he delivered the mail on a rural route for more than a quarter century. But among the 94-year-old Nashville native’s proudest accomplishments is the house he is building here during the hot, muggy summer of ’79. “Instead of giving my money to my two boys, I decided to put it into a house,” says Patterson, who is being helped by his kid brother, Alonzo, 83, and his son Wilson, 72. Patterson said he built his first house in 1911 when he and his wife, Lucille, ran the Western Union office at a remote outpost in Gillette, Wyo. Patterson built another in 1922, and two more in Florida in 1953 and 1966, so he’s no stranger to construction. Patterson, who came here as manager of the Western Union

He and his wife later moved to the Sebring, Fla., area, but when his wife died in 1974, Patterson said he decided to return to Indiana. “For one thing, I wanted to have a garden. I couldn’t grow anything down in Florida because the soil is nothing but sand. I’m fond of working in the soil,” Patterson said. He added, “I’d prefer to fight three or four winter months if I can have a garden and a warm house to live in.” Patterson holds the distinction of being the oldest Capp Homes customer to take advanage of the firm’s home kit. Capp carpenters erected the frame for the house in May, but the Pattersons have handled the rest of the project.
