Next week you have the sky ride, merry-go-round and Ferris i wheel to entertain you. Elwood will crown a tomato queen and everybody hopes the spectators won’t start a battle royal with the juicy vegetable. If there is anything left of Bar-; celona and Madrid by the time government forces and the rebels fight it out, dispatches from these points now overemphasize the de-' struction done. It seems that the two famous cities have been bom-| barded from every point and that the winners in the civil war will, have only ruins for their victory. | It's probably not out of order to' remind boys and girls not to walk on railroad bridges. A happy group of berry pickers were walking across a trestle near St. Louis, when trapped by an approaching train and three of the party were killed. During these vacation months, don't bring tragedy to the family by taking unnecessary chances. Watch for railroad crossings. General Gignilliat has indicated that it might be possible to secure the famous Culver Black Horse troop for an exhibition here in the future. We don't know of an event that would prove more entertaining to the public. The horses themselves are world famous and the young men who ride are the finest specimens of manhood. It’s a thrill to see the maneuvers and a great show could be given here sometime if obtaining the troop were taken up with the military academy officials in advance. Mrs. Lola Macklin, widow of the late Phil L. Macklin, has been rec-| ommended for the appointment of'

acting postmaster to succeed ner husband. The appointment which is made by President Roosevelt on the recommendation of Congressman Farley, will In all probability be made Immediately and will be for the unexpired term of the deceased postmaster. Mrs. Macklin Is well qualified to fill the responsible position and friends of the family and postal employes have ; commended Democratic county 1 chairman Nelson for his selection. The local postal force is an efficient one and as postmaster, Mrs. Macklin will do her part to maintain this high standard. STARS BY ANY OTHER NAME: It was the Hard of Avon who said: "What's in a name?” Yet. "Romeo and Juliet” stressed the sometimes tragic importance of a name: no Montague could ever ’ wed a Capulet. And now, Representative Francis X. Coyne of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts proposes a bill which, if it becomes a law, will impose a fine of SI,OOO or three months in jail on any stage or screen per--1 former using other than his real name within the borders of Massachusetts. Can it be that on theater marquees throughout the Bay State may soon appear such legends in I light as "Honeymoon Lane” start-1 [ ing Jasper Hoffenberger and Annie > Rafferty, or perhaps, Emma Jones and John Smith in “Love Conquers All"? Says Representative Coyne. “The majority ot entertainers use phoney names to deceive the pub- ' lie.” But what Mr. Coyne doesn’t | seem to realize is that it matters ' little to the theater going public I that the glamorous and mysterious star it rushes so frantically to see, I first saw the light of day as Mary J Smith. Perhaps it might be more accurate to say that actors use i “phoney names” to add to the , illusion so necessary to theatrical success. Legislators usually ar® , not unaware of the value of illus- , ion.—Christian Science Monitor. t HOLDING FAMILIES > I TOGETHER: Parents who need to place their children in institutions or foster homes at county expense are no longer forced to forfeit all control of these children through loss of legal guardianship, under a 1937 amendment to the Indiana Welfare Act. Under the old act creating the Board of Children’s Guardians and its successor, the Welfare Act of 1936, a child had to be made a public ward in order to receive county funds whenever it became necessary to remove him from his ! own home on account of the death, continued absence or incapacity of a parent. This procedure frequently resulted in much unnecessary unhappi■|ness to both children and parents ’ since it meant that parents lost all

control of their children throughj loss of legal guardianship. It made the children eligible for adoption at the discretion of county authorities and frequently prevented parents from reclaiming children rightfully theirs when their home had been re-established and they were able to care for the children again. Under the amendment now in effect, children of destitute families which cannot be held together through grants of public ance under provisions of the Wei- j fare Act, may be supported in foster homes or institutions at an ex-] pense to the county of not more ( than J 23 per month for each child.' These children will be under supervision of the Childrens division of the State Department. The public assistance section of the Welfare Act makes provision for monthly grants of assistance to dependent children kept in their own homes or homes of qualified relatives so that families may be held together. The purpose of the type assistance made possible by the amendment is to provide for these children of destitute parents who do not come within the public assistance provisions of the Welfare Act. The amendment, makes it possible to provide foster care temporarily in cases where there is a possibility of the parent or parents being able to make a home for their children. The amendment also will result in elimination of unnecessary use of the courts in making children public wards. o !♦ 4 Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ ♦ 1.
