Two Decatur Pupils To School For Deaf Enter Indianapolis Schoof For Deaf Two Decatur youngsters entered school today, a day ahead of their playmates. They are Tommy K. Vore. son of Mr, and Mrs. Robert Drake of 335 South Fifth street, and Gregory Ballard, son of Mr. and ivfrs. Raymond Ballard of 1121 West Madison Street The school which they -entered was the Indiana school for the deaf at Indianapolis. Tommy, who enters the third grade, and Gregory, who will be a first grader, are hard of hearing. The school which they entered today is designed to help them overcome that handicap—to teach them how to be useful citizens in spite of deafness. The school is a regular elemenlike the regular school. The only tary and high school with curricula difference is the addition of a few special courses such as lip-reading and the methods which are used for teaching. High praise Is given to the school by Mr. ahd Mra. E. W. Lankenau, whose son, Robert, was graduated from there. As a result of the training he received there, Bob was able to continue his studies at Galiadette College, Washington, D. C„ a college for the deaf. After his graduation he accepted a position with the Firestone company at Akron, O„ where he is advancing rapidly. Mrs. is quick to point out that one of the main assets of the school as far as the child is concerned to that he to among children with the same handicap, which contributes to his self-con-fidence. t Another advantage of the school for the deaf is that classes are kept small, from eight to 10 pupils, so the teacher can give individual attention to the youngsters.

National Air Show Is Closed Monday Discloses Record World Speed Mark PHILADELPHIA (INS) — The national aircraft show wound up its three day stand in Philadelphia on a record breaking note with the disclosure that air force Col. Horace A. Hanes set a new world mark of 822.135 miles an hour. The 39-year-old flyer’s supersonic ' run was made in an F-100C supersabrejet last Aug. 20 but the time wasn’t announced until Monday's Thompson trophy event of the air show. His flight cracked the previous speed record of 755 MPH. Air show officials said the speed run was made last month over the Mojave Desert because it would have been too dangerous to present it in front of the showcrowd.
