One of the first things which impressed me was the frequency with which the word “.service” cropped up in copy. It seems there is no real synonym for the word and it’s the pass-word of good bust- . ness of the funeral director. I Without using the word I "service" it would be almost | impossible for me to tell you i anything about the ZWICK Funeral Home, for example, all their activ’tles are centered about the thought of service to the public.

RESEARCH CLUB HAS INTERESTING MEETING Members of the Research Club met at the home of Mrs. W. J. Krick Monday afternoon with sev- - enteen members present. Mrs. C. C. Pumphrey read the paper on the ■ topic "Better Speech,” after which Mrs. P. A. Kuhn, program leader, read a splendid paper, the third one discussing the topic “Our Future Peace.” She wrote of the two great democracies." Franco and Great Britlan". Mrs. Kuhn gave a brief outline of the founding of these democracies and then discussed the political life of each. France is really lead by repre1 sentatives of two hundred families who decide the momentous questions for the country. They ate really owners of the Bank of France instead of the nation and if the prime minister or the president do not find favor with them, their influence is withdrawn; many times the country has not been wisely led by this group. France draws heavily on her colonies for both finances and men in times of war, and for economic strength at all times. Women of France have never been granted suffrage. The people are heavily taxed to keep up every line of the institutional branches, especially for national defense. “Great Britain Is nominally a monarchy but actually a democracy allowing freedom of the press, free i speech, and freedom of worship. I The Bank of England is a mighty i institution, very conservative and i lending only where it will strongly j benefit the country; surprisingly it is lending millions to Czechaslova- ■ kia to help with her refugees since i Germany claims Sudetenland. BritI ain, like France, has many and irich colonies which bring to the. Bank of England huge sums used : ! >;> the support of her ruling classes,, is well as for general expenses of \ the country. England's unemployed | will number more than a million' ; and the dede amounts to huge sums ' i daily. Her problems of defense ai lone place heavy taxes on her peoI pie of the country." The club will meet Monday. Octo'ber 24 with Mrs. J. P. Parnsh. Mrs. i F. H. Heuer will be program leader. ! i The ladies' aid society of the Ev-' ■ angelical church will meet in the 'church parlors Thursday afternoon 'at two o'clock.

coast so that the boy actor can drink the same milk he has been used to. Peter has no meat on hia diet, only vegetables, fruits and goat's milk. Since he came to II 011 ywood, the milk has been coming air express from

the family home in Rockwell county, New York. In case your memory needs refreshening, Peter is the youngster vho made such a hit on Broadway in “On Borrowed Time". His first amera work for R-K-0 will be a lat role with John Barrymore in “The Great Man Votes”. Bill Hoollhan, the New York detective who came out here with '.he Legion convention and who 1 lingered to play a while and to escort Margaret Roach and other Hollywood beauties, is on his way back to Broadway—and with a beautiful pair of shiners. He got , them outside a late spot from a studio cutie (not Miss Roach) who was feeling ornery and let go an unexpected punch. She's really one of hia good friends and now i is sorry. Director Ed Marin is so sorry because Jenifer Downing, a little girl living in Hollywood, is three years too young to play one of the Cratchit children in “A Christmas Carol”. She would have been a publicity natural in the cast because she is the great-great granddaughter of Charles Dickens. The James Gleason home on Alpine drive, scene of so many congenial gatherings, is to be put up for sale. The Gleasons have found that the place is too big and too lonesome now that Russell has married, so they are looking for a smaller house. David Niven’s brother, Henry, came to town but, true to form, . ■ tiie pair had only a few hours toI gether. David went to visit Lefty Flynn in North Carolina. In the last 11 years, the brothers ave seen each other only three i ■ ' The Music Department will meet . at the home of Mrs. L. A. Hol’house .

Eyan«on entertained Monday evening honoring their daughter Naomi's seventh birthday. Those present we.t Mrs. ( Charlotte Ladd, Rolland Ladd, Mr. ' and Mrs. W. A. Wolfe, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Eyanson and family, Clarence Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. ■ Glen Rambo and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Le Fevre, and Mr, and ' Mrs. C. D. Eyanson and family. A pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. The honored guest received a number of beautiful gifts. —o PERSONALS Y. B. Elisha of Gary, a rug merchant, called on his friends auid former neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Confer here this morning I Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Schafer.] 1 Dan Schafer and Mrs. William Bell, visited in Fort Wayne last evening. H. L. Center attended to business ' in Fort Wayne today. C. C. Schafer, who has been ill I the past 10 days, is considerably improved and was able to sit up a part of the time today. H. J. Yager, well known retired business man, is reported slightly if any better after a ten days ill-

times. The last was seven years ago, in Malta, when David's regiment. arrived to relieve the one In which Henry was serving. The twe men just about had time .'ir n handshake. "But please," says David, “make it clear that we are friendly." The strain of parting with Harmon O. Nelson has left Bette Davis in a state of nerves. Seeking seclusion and a chance to get as much rest as possible, the star Is moving into her studio bungalow for the duration of her new picture, "Dark Victory”. Seems natural to have Ginger Rogers back on the R-K-O lot rehearsing dance numbers with Fred Astaire. She has had a long vacation, the longest in her career, but until Nov. 1, when the cameras turn on "The Castles”, the star will be on Stage 1-A, practicing those steps that seem so effortless on the screen. Ginger and Fred rehearse daily from 10 to 12 and from 2 to 6. See where Rosalind Russell is quoted as saying that some day she'll go back to England to live. She's entitled to her preference, but it would have been smarter not to talk about it . . . Remember Dorothy Dare, who used to be under contract to Warners? Three years ago, she went to Chicago on a personal appearance tour and stayed to marry a saxophone player. .. . She's back in Hollywood now on her first visit. Not as an actress, but as a singer in her husband's band, which opened at La Conga the other night. . . . Burgess Meredith continues to volunteer as Ann Sothern’s escort. . . . Ann Miller, dropped by R-K-O, went to New York for a personal appearance. . . . Jerry Bergen and Billy Gray are back at Phil Selznick's and have lots ot new material. . . . Johnny Weissmuller and Beryl Scott, a twosome at this spot. . . . Busby Berkeley bought 150 seats and took his whole troupe to the St. Mary's-Loyola game. . . . Glenda Farrell’s son, Tommy, had Judy Garland for a partner at his birthday party at the Palomar. Glenda was there with Vans Smith. . . . Dozens of fans, particularly from Europe, write to Hollywood stars care of the Trocadero. . . . Joe Louis, the Chocolate Bomber, was introduced to Bob Taylor on the “Stand Up and Fight" set at M-G-M. He said he hadn't seen Bob's fight picture, "The Crowd Roars”, but that he thinks Wallace Beery puts up the best screer fight of any Hollywood star. ness with summer flu and complications. You can have an enjoyable evening by attending the Democratic raiiy at Berne Thursday evening, tliis week. The principal speaker will be Hon. R. Earl Peters, a former reporter on this paper and now director of the Federal Housing Association for Indiana. Be careful when burning leaves. Several fires have been narrowly averted. Ac<<>rding to those who have searched the country side, there are few hickory nuts in this section of the country. Walnuts are plentiful. Mrs. John Evans, who has been ill for the past several weeks, remains about the same. o BRITISH SOLDIERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) in the modern section of the city, a curfew had been established between the hours of 11 p. m. and 5 a. ni„ and all persons were warned that if they ventured on the streets between those hours, they might be shot without warning. Sporadic gunfire was heard throughout the city. A volley of rifle shots inside the walls would be answered by a burst of machine gun fire from the troops. The situation inside the walls, and the number of casualties, were unknown. An Armenian woman and a child in the modern city were wounded by stray bullets. Rebels were prowling through tho new city. They were reported to have delivered a large supply of bandoliers and rifles to Arabs inside the walls last night, by lowering them with ropes. They were concentrated in the vicinity of the sprawling mosque of Omar. British troops had entered the mosque several days ago without removing their boots and as a result Arabs declared a general strike protesting this violation of their temple. In addition to the perils within the city, military authorities feared that at any moment there might be a mass assault on modern city by the Arabs in the hills. Tho fact that rebels were able to keep their barricades inside the wall gates indicated that civil

HOOVER LAUBS MUNICH PACT Ex • President Declares Pact Preserved Europe’s Peace Hartford, Conn., Oct, 18 <U.R> Foimer President Herbert Hoover declared today that the Munich agreement "preserved peace" In Europe and rejected the idea that totalitarian governments would cause friction with the United States by “Invading" iho western hemisphere. Hoover, in an interview, de-] plored tho extension of trade quotas throughout tho world. Ho sail! quotas have replaced tariffs as the principal barrier to international trade. He recommended the United Stales “build a littlo trade prov-] Ince of our own in the whole western hemisphere" to offset the "provinces” being constructed by ; oilier nations, notably Germany, i Japan nnd Great Britain. Tiie former president reiilfirmed his belief in local government ] and urged the federal government | to permit New England to do i “what it pleased" regarding flood I ocntrol. Asked If he believed President Roosevelt would run for a third term, Hoover replied: " Iwouldn't care to comment on that. It is for the Democrats to decide.” The former president said this country “ought to keep out of. other peoples' wars" and out of any war when it can be done , “without the loss of national in-1 dependence and national honor." i "I don’t get especially aroused . over the actions of other govern- 1 ( meats in the western hemisph< re,” he said “I dont believe any of the totalitarian governments are going to invade tho western hemisphere and cause friction witli tne 1 United States." o CONFESSED SPY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of a catalogue of army and navy publications. Later he said. San- : ders wrote him in “very abrupt” ! fashion, chiding him for his lack of promptness. There was a period of five or ' six weeks, he testified, during 1 which he heard nothing from ' letter, mailed in New York, in Germany. Then he received a ' which Sanders demanded Io know why he had had no news for so long a time and added that "lie : authority had broken down. The , flat roofs 'of the ancient houses. : and the labyrinth of narrow. ' riooked streets, afforded the snip-;' ers manv avenues of escape. The situation had become daily ■ more acute as the rebels grew I

bolder and British reinforcements poured in in an almost constant stream from Egypt, India and the British Isles. There were an estimated 25.000 troops and policemtn in Palestine, but they were in control of only immediate areas about their headquarters. Hitler in a Hurry?

Two of those named In lhe Incident are high members of the German war ministry — Lieut. Commander I’go Von Bonin ami Lieut. Commander Hermann Menzel. Ruinrich said that his next letter Included "a couple of old booklets and photographs I had" of troops on parade in the Canal zone. He recefveda u acknowledgement from Sanders. His next contact with Sanders was In September, 1936, when he received a message from one Schmidt, whom he described as assistant to Elnst Mueller, chief of the naval Intelligence in Bremen. Schmidt, he related, asked if he had any more information. Rumrich took "a couple of photographs from an album” and gave them to him. Judge John C. Knox asked the nature of the pictures. The witness said they were “an aerial view of the city of Manila and a shot of the parade grounds and military barracks at the Canal zone.” Schmidt, he added, objected to ' the neighborhood ho lived in liecause “there are too many Jews.” He advised Ruinrich to move to “a better place." o County Grand Jury Still In Session The Adams county giand jury continued in session today, meeting in the sheriff's office because of tiie jury trial in the court room.

"Many tilings give cause to fear I and anxiety,” the pontiff said.
