Life Pretty Well Mapped For Average Adams County Baby New York, Jan. 23 —(Special to the Democrat)—-What does the future hold for s the model 1948 baby, born this year to Adams county parents? According to department of commerce reports and other data, the course of his life is carefully mapped out for him. School days will begin for him when he is six, after successfully weathering the colds, measles and other minor childhood ills that beset him. Being an average Adams county child, he will continue his studies until he has completed 8.3 years of school. The time will come for him to earn a livelihood and he will note excellent opportunities ahead for an industrious young man. He will discover that he happens to live in a richer community than most. In Adams county the average family in 1946 had an effective income of $2,470. Once settled in his career he will get married. As an average young man jn his community, this will take place when he is 23.6 years old. His bride’s age will be 21.2. They will have,, statistically, 1-8 children, for Adams county families average 3.8 in size. Their life expectancy, thanks to advances in medical science, is set at 64.4 years for him and 69.5 for her, or about eight years more than their parents had to look forward to. — Big Crowd Attends Snow White Showing * Several hundred children and adults jammed their way into the auditorium of the Decatur juniorsenior high school Thursday afternoon to witness the presentation of "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.” The original cast, which has given the production in Chicago and New- York, and in the Quimby auditorium in Fort Wayne last Saturday, took part.

Report Kay Francis Is Critically 111 Star's Manager Is Booked By Police Columbus, 0., Jan. 23. — (UP) — Kay Francis, stage and movie actress, was in critical condition at a hospital here today and her stage manager was booked by police on "investigation of assault with intent to kill.” Howard Graham, 37, of New York, was taken into custody by police a few hours after Miss Francis became ill in her hotel room and was taken to White Cross hospital. Dr. B. Rusoff, hospital staff physician, said Miss Francis was placed in an oxygen tent for treatment of a respiratory condition. He said she had a bad cold and a “possible” lung infection. Hospital attaches said she was in a semiconscious condition. Police said, however, they had learned that the star, appearing in the stage play, “The State of the Union,” at the Hartman theater here, had taken an overdose of sleeping pills. Graham was taken into custody, police said, after Miss Francis told them he had been w’ith her just before she was taken to the hospital. Detectlye Lowell Sheets said the stage manager was picked up because “he is the only one we have who might know what went on in the hotel room.” Miss Francis told police she became ill in her room shortly before 8 a.m. and called Graham for help. Graham told police he immediately notified hotel officials, who called Dr. Rusoff. He said the doctor advised him to get Miss Francis to air, so he opened a window and attempted to help the actress lean out. She leaned against a hot air register, burning her legs, Graham said.

Hoosier Educator Is Taken By Death Indianapolis, Jan. 23 — (UP) — Funeral services were planned today for Reed Groninger, 58, director of the teacher placement bureau at Butler University. Groninger, a veteran of World War I, had been closely connected with Hoosier education since 1919. He was superintendent of the Cass county schools from 1929 to 1937, and superintendent of schools in Loganeport from 1938 to 1944. His survivors include the widow, one son and five sisters. o The Ruf-Neks, men s pep organization at University of Oklahoma, was formed under the name of the "Royal Order of Unshaven Necks.” o REPUDIATES (Continued from Page 1) to Finder, “that the necessary and wise subordination of the military to civil power will be best sustained, and our people will have greater confidence that it is so sustained, when lifelong professional soldiers, in the absence of some obvioue and overriding reason, abstain from seeking high political office.” Among those being advanced this year for Republican presidential nomination is Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who has been entered in the Wisconsin presidential primary. Ike’s statement presumably will cause his New Hampshire delegate slate to withdraw, leaving the contest there between delegates representing Dewey and former Gov. Harold E. Stassen, of Minnesota. In making Ike’s letter public the army said: "It is released to the press because Gen. Eisenhower hopes through this means to inform every interested person or group that he is not in politics and that he would refuse nomination even if offered." That was that on the Ike-for-pres-ident boom. He said it would be a "unalloyed tragedy” if future military commanders were selected with an eye to their potentialities in the political field. Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated, and. in its true sense, a noble one,” Eisenhower said. “In the American scene, I see no dearth of men fitted by training, talent and integrity for national leadership.” He said he did not believe anything In the international or domestic situation “especially qualifies for the most important office in the world a man whose adult years have been spent in the country’s military fordes.
