Capital Matrons Seek Bid To Princess' Party

Washington, Aug. 1 13.—(UP)— Capital matrons have started maneuvering to get in on the year'k biggest social event?—the October visit of Princess Elisabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. > Although the British royal couple will not arrive until Oct. 24, there is much careful planning s lo snag invitations to at least one/of the few affairs which Elizabeth and Phillip will attend during their day stay. - \ Inquiries, ever so polite but ever so pointed, are flowing into the British and Canadian embassies, the White House and the state department. But until sometime in September-, officials in charge will try to keep the heiress to the British throne’s Washington plans as h secret as an invasion blueprint. Washington still measures all crowds by the mass of humanity which welcomed the king and queen, of England when they v visited America in 1939. Never was there such a social furore in the capital as the skirmishes over invitations to the embassy garden party for the visiting royalty. Consequently, Washington was expected to receive the attractive young Princess with more public enthusiasm than anyone since the return of Gen. Douglas KfacArthur. Because of the social tug-of-war that marked the visit of the king and queen 13 years ago, embassy and state department planners are proceedipg with extra caution. A suggested Washington . schedule has been sent to the Princess for her approval. Until she studies it and sends back her okay, nothing will be said officially. y it was known, however, that Elizabeth and Phillip will arive by plane from Canada. President and Mrs. ’Truman i— and particularly daughter Margaret, who recently met the Princess in Condon—probably will head the welcoming party at National airport. There be no formal parade as far as march bands and. milittitry units concerned. The royal couple probably will join the presidential family in a leisurely motorcade back to Blair House, where Elizabeth and Phillip will be house guests during their visit. i” Elizabeth and Phillip are coming

And like Jesse James, who could ’ do this stuff with his eyeb closed, the young outlaws are blithely bending federal laws. T Enough so, that sheriff Bob Shraluka and, postmaster Deo Kirsch are concerned over the matter. It the new sport is tills: Using rural mail boxes as a target, hoodlums s drive rijadly past and the passenger on the right side leans p»ut and peppers the bof with a shotgun. ’ Apparently the car is driven close to the box and the marksman gives it a blast from short raiige. The known record of this sport, similar to\shooting ducks in a barrel, is .three downed Friday night ami one Saturday. Os course, there is no record of, misses. , ' j Sheriff Shraluka s<id today that further investigation of the shootings will continue. .He said that some pertinent clues have been uncovered, and they will be tracked down. • He and postmaster Kirsch conferred today on the \matter, and outlined the federal 1 laws and the possibility of bring-1

Hold Demonstrations Tuesday, Wednesday Demonstrations Os Interest To Farmers Building for permanent pastures at more nutritious and palatable grasses and legumes of higher carrying capacity will be the theme of the demonstration meeting at the Luther Yager term, two miles west of Berne, Tuesday at f:80 am. All the implement dealers of the county are invited to demonstrate their tillage tools in making a proper seed bed in an establish stand of Canada blue grass. To be right, most of the organic matter must be kept near the surface, but well mixed. The presence of the organic matter near the surface will help prevent erosion. | After the demonstration on seed bed preparation Under the direction of Jerry Karsten, Pardue agricultural engineer, <jj P. Walker and O. E. Ackerson, soil conservation service, will conduct a tour of the grabs Waterway built last year. They will also discuss adequate liming, fertilization, and seed mix tures. Farmers interested in the prevention of erosion and permanent pastures of high carrying capacity should consider attending the, demonstrations at the Ben Gerke farm, one mile east and three miles north of Decatur, Wednesday, a must. The events start at 9 a.m., with a soil judging contest for high school agricultural students. At 9:30 a.m„ Gerke will start to build a grass waterway, using his own farm tillage tools. G.P. Walker of Purdue and O. E. Ackerson of the soil conservation service, will discuss the process and will tell how to properly mulch and seed the structure. "I At 1 p.m„ the implement dealers of the county will demonstrate renovation of pasture, using the till- 3 age' tools of their choice. Again Walker and Ackerson will discuss liming, fertilization, and seeding. ing in federal agents. In the meantime, no mailbox is safe after dark. Neitber, apparently, are the culprits.
