Honor Gen. Patton With Stamp Issue Three-Cent Stamp On Sale Nov. 11 WASHINGTON, UP — A new honor is about to be added to the long list earned by the late Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., the “blood and guts’’ commander of the Third Army in World War 11.

The commemorative stamp honoring Patton and the armed forces will ( be put on sale Nov. 11 at Fort Knox, Ky. Patton is the first American military herb—besides those generals who rose to the presidency — whose likeness has appeared alone on a stamp. Other heroes have been honored, but in groups of two or three. i Many Requests Z Patton died in December, 1945, in Heidelberg, Germany, after being injured in an automobile accident. At the time, he was military governor of Bavaria.

The department usually issues about 12 commemorative stamps a year. The Patton stamp, department sources said, will just about use up this year’s allotment.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

To The Point ■ SEATTLE, Wash.,’ UP six members of the Peter Fish family of Seattle will divide the $5,617 estate of Jens P. Christiansen, Des Moines, la., who died last September. Christiansen’s will, written pn the back of an old envelope, was one of the shortest on record. It said: “Everything goes to Peter Fish and family.” The world’s largest and most powerful turbine-generator, which Westinghouse will build for the Detroit Edison company, will be as big as two six-room, homes. The giant unit will consume 15 times its own, weight in steam every 24 hours. Its power output of some 350,000 horsepower will be enough to supply the electrical needs of a city the size of Cincinnati or Dallas. ' The bituminous coal mined in the U. S. last year would make 13 “supper highways” across the nation one foot thick and onequarter mile wide.

Buggy Planl Still Operates In Slate 600-800 Vehicles Are Made Annually K LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., UP — The nation’s last exclusive manufacturer of buggies said today he guessed he’d be in business as long as there’s a horse left to pull them. E. J. Knapp, president of the Standard Vehicle Co. of Lawrenceburg, said his biggest problem isn’t getting business in this atomic age. It’s getting the horsedrawn . vehicles made after they are ordered. “We make buggies and carriages for dude ranches, for large estates, for farms and for Islands that do not have motor vehicles,” Knapp said. “We sell them to many men and women of every walk of life.” Catets to the carriage trade, you might say. Knapp's firm keeps busy every day turning out surries with and without the fringe on top, pony carts, and buggies of all descriptions. You can have your choice of 50 different styles. The company employs about 10 men, some of whom have been on the payroll for nearly 35 years and are expert at turning choice hickory wood into shafts and wheels, and oak and poplar into bodies. The business has been in the Knapp family since it was founded in 1892 in Cincinnati by William Knapp. Those were the days before the motor car when the only traffic problem was runaw-ay horses. The business has thrived despite the rapid depletion of the horse population and a couple of severe setbacks to Standard’s plants. Fire swept the Cincinnati plant in its early years and the business was moved down' the Ohio River to Lawrenceburg. In 1937, it was almost destroyed by the Ohio River flood. But four months later, Knapp was back in business.', Among Knapp’s best customers are the Amish, a religious denomination whose members are scattered through Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Amish shun worldly things, among them automobiles. They dress in black and ride buggies to and from church and town. Many of the Amish buy buggies by mail, dealing direct with Knapp. Most of the vehicles are made for persons with no Other means of transportation. However, Knapp said a surprising percentage are fo> "people who own two or three cars.” \ Knapp’s firm makes 600 to 800 vehicles a year. Occasionally one is for export. California is a consistently big buyer among the statesi When the plant was founded 61 years ago, it piade two-seated carriages for two horses and sold them for $75. Now they cost $335. Knapp hastens to explain that’s pretty cheap compared with an automobile.
