GOPsters have isseud an invitation to all voters to get on the Eisenhower nano wagon , this year. From every indication, there still are many many vacant seats. o o— Safety statisticians report that the average American cltixen will be involved in five major automobile mishaps during a lifetime. Safety groups are holding a series of meetings this fall to attempt to,ascertain why the rate is so high. We hope the experts come up with an answer. — 0 O— — . With a couple of more days of work almost all of the tomato crop in this area will have been harvested before a completely killing frost. Some cold weather of a week ago apparently did not j harm the crop. Factories of the area will continue to operate for* several days after the harvest is completed. I o o Statistics furnished by the National Council of Churches reveal that more thany sixty percent of the citizens of the United States are members of some church. There are more than fifty-eight million members of Protestant churches in the U. 8. and more than thirty-three million Roman Catholics. Church membership is the largest it has been in the history of the United States. —--o -o-—• The Indiana commission on tax study has issued an interesting report on the administration of county highways in. this, aiaHk The commission ajse In its report makes several recommendafor improving the present set-up. One of the principal recommendations is the appointment of a county road superintendent for a specified term, instead of hiring him from year to year. It is interesting to note in the report that in the last eighteen years, Adams county has had six superintendents, an average of one every three years. One big purpose of the report is to rewrite Indiana laws pertaining to county highways so each county in the state can receive the most benefit in matching secondary road funds from the federal government.

In about a week, the World Series will get underway and millions of sports fans in the nation will be in a dither until the last game is played. The Yanks of the American league will oppose a team yet to be decided in the close National league circuit. Millions of people who have never seen a league game will stay glued to their television sets and radios. It’s truly a great American sport Q Q Providing service for home appliances such as clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freesers, ranges and air conditioners has long been a matter of concern to the manufacturers, and inability to obtain prompt and efficient service has sometimes left the owner in a state of baffled fury. The appliance that goes on strike for no reasons that the owner can discover may not be a world-shatter-ing catastrophe, but try telling that to the housewife whose clothes washer quits on the job when it is loaded with part of the family wash, and a larger part is waiting to go into its maw. Anything with moving parts — watches and automobiles, for instance —may need servicing from time to time. Considering the tremendous number of electrical appliances in American homes, it’s amasing how seldom anything does go wrong, but when it does It can have a jarring impact on family living. It is, therefore, a mark of real progress in the appliance industry that General Electric has brought the service situation out into the open by establishing, and making public, minimum standards for the service provided by its distributors and dealers. The standards cover promptness in responding to service calls, the training and technical proficiency of the service man, and the stocking of parts to avoid delay when a new part is needed. G.E.’s aim is to make certain that always and anywhere, a local phone call will bring prompt aid in the form of a service man thoroughly familiar with the appliance and skilled at ills job. The buyer of a major thome appliance who, is familiar with the new standards will know exactly what he or she should be able to count on if and when service is required.

Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE Window Shades If a window shade is torn, lay it on a flat surface, bring the torn edges together and apply a halfinch strip of adhesive tape on the side next to the curtains. Then the tape can be painted with water colors to match the shade, if desired. Ants Ants will not climb the legs of the tables if a piece of string, dipped in kerosene, is tied around each table leg. This method also applies to the refrtgeator, beds, and other furniture. The Rooms Net curtains will make a small room appear larger, and if the room is dark, try using light, thin materials for the decorating. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. Is it permissible to examine the various dishes on a cafeteria counter before selecting , a certain dish? A. Certainly. But one should not finger the saucers, or be conspicuous about selecting one that seems to contain a larger portion than the others. Q. Is one always Supposed to send a gift to the hostess in whose home one has spent a week-end? A. This is not absolutely necessary, although it is a nice gesture. The bread-aud-buttqy however. is a “must,” and as soon as possible after the return home. Q. I know it is not a “must,” but if a girl wishes to give her fiancee an engagement gift, what should it pe? A. Usuallysome piece of jewelry — cuff links, key chain, tie clasp, or a cigarette case or lighter.

Two-Year-Old Boy Rescued From Well Scores Os Workers Save Boy From Well BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (UP) — What could have been another Kathy Fiscus-type tragedy was averted Monday night when scores of workers rescued a two-year-old boy from, an abandoned well. The scene 01 tne near tragedy was a vacant lot where some 1,000 spectators wfitched a» construction workers andjfiremen rescued littleTommy Hartnett less than three hours after he tell into the 150-foot well. The youngster had wandered away from his nearby home and plunged Into the 14-lnch well casing. His frantic muffled screams for help were heard by a neighbor who sounded the alarm for one of the biggest rescue operations in the history of this city. Scores of workers quickly converged for the heroic drama. It was at first believed the tot had fallen to the bottom of the deep shaft but workmen soon discovered the youth fortunately had become wedged some 10 feet below ground. Little Tonimy could be heard at times whimpering, “Mama, help me.” His parents, Mr. and MrS. L. N. Hartnett, stood by and shouted encouragement to the trapped lad. “Tommy, hang on! Everything will be all right,” his tearful mother told her boy. “The men will get you out.” Workers, stripped to the waist, began digging around the rusted casing. Oxygen was pumped to the child and an hour and a half after operations had started, workmen reached the first seam in the pipe, some two feet from where the child was trapped. the rescue operations continued many tense bystanders thought of a similar accident seven years ago at San Marino, Calif., when three-year-old Kathy Fiscus fell 110 feet, also into an abandoned well. Kathy was found dead 53 hours after workmen started a battle to sive her life. . _ * If yo-i nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings result!,
