The vote was to W, an unexpectedly large matorily. As a result, ft was thought the government would abide by the expressed wish of thq houseBecause of the crowded legislative program the bill inay not 1 Vre introduced for some time, and some ijewspapers warned toddy that thue vote had not yet been translated into law. Nevertheless, the opinion of most Whitehall observers was that Britain very probably has seen hetlast hanging- ' ' The three men now under sentence to die ware expected to be reprieved by the home secretary. Gwilym Lloyd-George. The ballot was what is called a “free” one. that is. the members vote according to their own conscience and not as the tarty decides.

I .... Vizard Appointed Studebaker Dealer Vizard Motor Sales Opening Saturday G. W. Vixard, well know* Decatur- businessman, has bee* appointed Studebaker dealer here for service and sales, William A. Keller, general sales manager for the Studebaker division, Studebak-er-Packard corporation, announced today. Highlight of the grand opening tomorrowwof .Visard Motor Sales will be the showings of the new big 1956 Studebaker President, Commander and' 'Champion car series, a complete series of sportstype cars, and the new line of Transtar trucks. The cars, which will be displayed in the showrooms at Winchester St & U. S. 27 have the only complete restyling in the volume low priced field for 1956, land are the highest powered in 'the industry in their class. Installation of new service facilities baa been completed In the dealership which will carry a full stock of authorised factory parts and accessories for both cars and trucks. The service staff has received intensive training from company representatives in the latest service procedures and niques,,In discussing the new Studebaker, the dealer said that outstanding performance has been engineered into the new models with engines ranging up to 210-horse-power in the sedans and 275-horse-power in the Golden Hawk,* lead model in the gports-type line. A new automatic transmission, the Flightomatic steps up acceleration, while maintaining Studebaker’s traditional economy of operation. At the same time the cars, which were recently named “safest in their class in America" by the car life testing laboratory, have added important new safety features for 1956 in a new type of brake which cools faster and does not "fade” in successive stopping, a safety-eye speedometer mounted in the driver's line of vision on top of the dashboard, safety door latches, seat belts, and padding of the dash panel and seat backs. In styling, Studebaker has moved away from the European look to a new big American design. The major styling change was made to regain the company’s position as a strong volume competitor in the low- price field, the dealer said. In his announcement of the dealership here, Keller said it is one of the first to be franchised under the division's program which anincrease in Studebafcwf and truck purchases AMs ywar.' Imined»*®«fyM»llc-’ac-ceptance of the new models following their introduction in December built up the biggest backlog of orders for Studebaker since 1960. .2 Keller said that the new dealership will be supported by the largest national and local advertising and sales promotion program in company history in establishing a volume dealership in this area. Emphasis will be on newspaper advertising.

Army Private Is Released By Red Officials Says Four And Half Years As Prisoner Worst In His Life BERLIN (INS) —-U- S. Army Pvt. Sidney Ray Sparks was released today by Soviet officials in East Berlin after what he called “the four and a half worst years of my life." Sparks escaped on Dec. 4. 1951, from an American guard house in West Berlin, where he was being held on a number of chargesI He fled to East Berlin, where he was arrested by Communist police and turned over to the Russton army. 'This moihtng tn the Soviet consulate in East Berlin, the 23-year old youth told this correspondent: 'I just spent the four and a half worst years of my life. - “But I am so happy to be back that I could cry ” I The army said Sparks' mother was Mrs. Lucille Cooper Gladin of Tinnllle, Kia. Sparks quickly dropped six packs of Russian cigarettes on the floor when offered an American one. He said: “It's been so long since I had a good smoke ” _ ’ He wad turned over to U S. army liaison officers who took him back to West Berlin where he was given a physical checkup- Array officials said after the examination, he would be confined to the guardhouse until his case was disposed of. Although he appeared to be in fgir physical condition, Sparks said he had suffered a severe illness while in a Soviet slave labor camp. Sparks said that two Americans were left behind in the repatriation camp where he was held in the SoViet Union. He said they were a woman named Dora Gerschonvitt and her brother. He was unable to give any other information. ■ Released with the American were a Frenchwoman, a Frenchman and a German. All of them jumped with joy when they were greeted by this reporter- ; Both the French woman and mail ran up to me and kissed me on both cheeka. He explained: e'We vowed to kies the first one Os our people we met.” arrived at the consulate In a Soviet army .pickup truck. Wihon he spotted the International News Service Aruerican-made sedan. he grinned widely and waved at the occupants. But when the soldier left with a L\ $ provost marshal he appeared grjm and worried, and hurried across the snow covered street to an anny car. : •• . , The released G. 1. apparently will have considerable explaining to do. East German papers of Dec 28, 1951 published a letter allegedly signed by him requesting that he be granted political asylum in the Soviet zone But, according to another American soldier since returned to the West, Sparks was tried in Potsdam a year later for espionage. Recently returned Austrian and German prisoners reported Sparks would be released soon But one of them said the private had asked thp Russians not to repatriate him since he feared he would be courTmartialed if returned to the West.

Lincoln PTA Hears Reading Consultant Says Pupils Read Better Than Ever Eldon. Johnson, rending consultant, speaking at the Lincoln school P. T. A. last night, said boys and girls are reading better than they e*er have before in spite of outside interests and distractions they have today. “The problems we face,** he pointed, out, “are many, for we have all types Os youngsters coming from every kind of home, and our job is to educate them so they will each take their rightful place in society." Johnson listed the five ways schools are teaching reading: through meaning clues, word form clues, structural clues, phonetic, and dictionary. “The English language is composed of 43 sounds and 26 letters’* he explained, “and all these ways are used to teach reading. Since the English language is also 84% phonetic, this step in teaching reading is very important," he said. The question and answer period that followed Johnson's talk brought out some interesting points, including: “That children should be kept back during the first three years of schooling when difficulties are encountered; that it is a good practice to divide the room into reading groups, however, it is well to budget the teacher's time equally among the retarded and superior children; that we must judge a child’s progress by what he himself learns from September to May, rather than on his standing in the classroom; that the ability to listen is a big factor in the child's learning; the child looks to his parents and teachers for their reading patterns and both should do everything possible to interest him with material at his reading level." Johnson concluded the discussion by saying that “reading is being able to comprehend what is on the printed page and what the symbols stand for, and we must make books interesting so children will react to what they read, the page will become alive, and he tfill take the meaning beyond the classrooms and integrate what he reads into bis own life. If we have cooperation between the school and home we need not fear for the future of education." ; Mrs. Robert Gay presided at the short business meeting at which time it was decided to send $25 to the National P.T.A. as a founder’s day gift. A committee was appointed to arrange for recognition of den mothers and..cub committee; The Rey. B. J. Thomas gave the invocation. : ■ ,■-« ■■ Extension School Held For Dairymen Dairymen Attend School At Monroe The extension school on “Growing, Harvesting, Storing, and Feeding ißoughages” held at the Co-op building in Monroe was attended by about 50 dairymen, reports Leo N. Seltenright, county agent. Dairy extension specialist E. A. Gannon stated that since dairy cows in Indiana receive less roughage (hay and silage) than dairy cows in neighboring states, a special effort khould be made to grow., at least , three-.t0.. four tons, of hay equivalent per cow for 1956. Grass silage is very palatable and may be used to utilize the surplus grass is any extra occurs during

I——--'"— -I — -■ ■■ the flush season. Early culling if a ewitjltioner is used la advisable, giving a longer growing period for the second* crop. Pasture improvement was also stressed by M. O. Pence, extension i agronomist. For every ton of pas- i ture the herd is short, it required one ton of silagp, or 700 lbs of hay or 472 pounds of grain to maintain production. John Foley, extension agricultural engineer, pointed out that Bunker type silo is truly a labor 1 saving device. The cows have an opportunity to do their own feeding, thereby cutting chore time. The panel discussion of local 1 farmers included Joo L. Isch, Har- 1 ry Gerber. Paul Llechty and Elmer Frans. They discussed their own dairy feeding operations and
