Schricker. the Democrat nominee for governor, is known for his humble and gentle manner. In his speech before the Democratic Editorial Association meeting, he said: “ If the people of Indiana are looking for a hired hand with fairly good habits, some little experience and a willingness to work, then I'll be mighty proud to receive their votes." The continued failure of the St. Donis American league baseball team to draw fans has revived the talk of transferring the franchise to Los Angeles. Distance is one argument against the move. To fulfill the s.hedules the teams would have to use planes freely, and < lub owners, remembering the crashes that Occur every now and, then in the Western mountains, would bold tbelr breath all the time that a planeload of expensive stars was in the air. Even more powerful a deterrent Is the fact that lavs Angeles Is already in the Pacific Coast league The consent of the other clubs would be necessary, and that would be unlikely to be given.

In addition to tomatoes, Indiana Is famous for Its melons and Hoosiers may taste a new variety if plans of certain farmers witn the western tour carry through. Seeds of Tramahaw melons, a cross between a cantaloupe and a honeydew are being brought back and will be planted experimentally In the southern part of the state next year. For real deliciousness, the melon epicureans will have to work miracles to Improve on the genuine honey-rock variety.

Inexpensive way to travel, and is particularly helpful In getting city boys and girls into rural districts for a day's fu tn uncongeeted farm areas. Unfortunately moot American highways and city streets lack sate facilities for bicycle riders. The lack of bicycle or pedestrian lanes tn this country contrasts with those provided in most sections of England, for example. Roads often should be built with a thought to bicycle and pedestrian use.

He and his Chloe? She wondered fleetingly and did not care. She reached her stairs and went up, asking herself why. after all, she had thought she wanted to meet John up here, of all places? It would be cold and dirty, left in neglect, no doubt, since the day she had departed. But It was not cold. It was not dirty. It bad not been neglected. Someone had put up fresh white curtains at the windows to replace the ones she had taken down. The scrap basket she had stuffed full of unwanted odds and end* had been emptied and returned to its proper corner. A clean yellow blotter lay on her maple desk with a bowl of daffodils in Its center. The chairs that she bad pushed about tn her packing were all once mor* where they should be.

Democratic Record ; Praised By Barkley New White Hat Is I < Given To Schricker French Lick. Ind. Aug. 30-(I P• I — Henry Schricker bad a new ; white hat today for his 65th birthday present «« he began the serious phase of his bid for a sec ond term in the Indiana statehouse. . Democrats attending the Indiana Democratic editorial association here over the weekend hl:n the hat. symbol of be brie ker s ■ good government" campaign, a the Saturday night banquet. Schricker is 65 today He told the editorial session that "my own preference and perhaps my own comfort and health would have dictated a less strenuous future." "Your will and the will of many others, so generously expressed be fore and during the convention, fin ally determined my course, J he said. "Now with your help, and the help of many others, 1 expect to be elected." Schrickee shared the spotlight at the annual outing with Sen. Alben Barkley, the Democratic vice presidential candidate. Some 850 Democratic editors and party workers braved an intense, humid, heat to sit in on the two days of political activitiy. It was near the 100 mark all of the lime the sbirt-sleeved Democrats were here. But the heat failed to squelch party spirit which was at a high level throughout. In vivid contrast to the last Democratic editorial association, when the first rumblings of discontent with the Pleas Greenlee handling of the state chairmanship were heard, this year's session was culm and peaceful Smiling ha Haymaker. the new chairman, had everybody happy. Barkley's old-fashioned oratorical address brought the delegates to tbeir feet He reviewed the Democratic party's record of "liberalism and progress" from the pre-Clvil War days to administration of Harry 8 Truinan. Barkley smoothed over intraparty differences, apparently including although not mentioning the Dixlecrat movement, with the observation that "we welcome difference of opinion, wholesome debate, and even spirited controversy." "We do not pretend that every man and woman in the Democratic party thinks in precisely the same way aliout every problem that faces the nation and the world." "He predicted that again "many millions" of Republicans would switch their political allegiance and vote Democratic this November. He invited “all you Democrats up to Washington to see the inauguration of President Truman and Alben Barkley." Schricker wasted no time while here. He attended a fair at Corydon on the way down and spoke at a rally in the town of French Lick during the editorial outing. "If the people of Indiana are looking for a hired hand with fairly good habits, some little experiences and a willingness to work, then I'll be mighty proud to receive their votes." he said. "My .previous record as a public servant — it pretty well known to all. It Is not a perfect record, but It waa made in good conscience anti without the benefit of a palace guard.
