School Girl Gang Broken By Arrests 24 Teen-Agers Are Seized In Illinois ROCKFORD, 111. (UP)—A gang of knife-carrying school girls who engaged in sex parties and shoplifting raids has been broken with the arrest of 24 teen-agers, according to police. 'j Authorities said Tuesday night the arrests capped a week-long investigation in which 33 youths were questioned. The probe began with the arrest of five girls suspected of having sex relations with high school boys and recent graduates. The investigation widened when police said they learned a 13-year-old girl was the leader of a club known as the “Black Angels," whose main activity was shoplifting forays. The leader carved the club’s initials, “B-A,” into her arm with a razor blade, authorities said. Seven alleged club members, all junior high school and grade school girls, were arrested Tuesday. Authorities said the club had 17 members. A 15-year-old girl, police said, told of having a party for 20 guests in her home while her parents were away. She said 15 other youths crashed the party. “It turned into a regular sex party,” police quoted the girl, ■ “with boys molesting girls in the house and taking them out to parked cars.” Asks Patrons Help Company Decision Princeton Company Asks For Decision PRINCETON, Ind. (UP)—About 8,000 patrons of the Princeton Telephone Co. were asked to help the company decide whether to grant wage increases to striking employes—at a cost of higher rates for the patrons. Letters were sent to subscribers with self-addressed stamped envelopes enclosed for replies containing recommendations on the company’s future course. A strike of 40 members of United Mine Workers (District 50) began Jan. 10 and since then supervisory personnel has manned the switchboards. The workers struck 10 days after their contract with the company . expired. “If the current strike should be settled in away which increases the cost of providing telephone service to the public, this increase, as is always the case, will have to be paid for by the customers,” the letters said. Meanwhile, a deputy town marshal and a deputy sheriff guarded the firm's Oakland City exchange building Tuesday night, a few hours after the exchange reopened after being closed since Feb. 28. The exchange was closed after the company reported several cables were cut and rumblings were heard that a demonstration was planned. Two Local Persons Bitten By Squirrel Two Decatur residents were bitten by a squirrel in front of the ■ Leon A. Seiger residence at 337 Mercer avenue Tuesday afternoon. I A report made to city police inI dicated that Timmy Fuhrman and i Mrs. John Alberding were bitten. City police shot the squirrel and it was sent to Indianapolis for a rabies test. Grass Fire Results In Department Call Decatur firemen were called at 11:50 a. m. today when a grass fire broke out behind the Carl Johnson residence on Parkview Drive. The blaze was extinguished before it could spread and cause damage.

High Winds Leave Marks On Natidn Ice Is Smashed Against Seawalls By UNITED PRESS The nation showed the marks of high winds today — winds that smaShed ice against seawalls in Michigan, pushed a prairie fire across Nebraska, and covered the central and southern Plains with dust. Strong winds broke up ice on Lake St. Clair Tuesday, shoving it up on the shore near Detroit. The ice tore, out seawalls and threatened homes until the wind shifted and blew ’the Ice out into the lake again. On the other side of Lake St. Clair at Anchor Bay nine fishermen were trapped on a piece of ice which broke loose and began drifting. They were rescued later by other fishermen in a boat. In Nebraska wind-whipped prairie fire Tuesday cut a blackened swath across the dried-out rangeland near Lakeside, threatening for a time to wipe out the community of 75 persons. ; Firefighters battled it for eight hours, while women and children were evacuated from the town. The creeping blaze burned out an area 10 miles long and up to 3 miles wide before it was stopped just short of the town. The windstorm picked up the dusty soil of the central and southern Plains states and spread it in choking clouds across the Texas Panhandle. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Nebraska, and as far as western Kentucky and Tennessee. = " Temperatures were generally mild throughout the nation, with the only major area of below freezing temperatures extending from the northern Great Lakes to Montana. One of th<* highest annual productions of coal in the United States took place in 1947 when 630,623,722 tons of bituminous were produced. 1 • t

R. C. HERSH, a patient at the Adams county memorial hospital, is shown being transferred from his ■ hospital bed to a wheel chair, via a hydraulic “patient lifter.” This device was presented to the local hospital by the Adams county society for crippled children and adults, as one of its projects for 1956. Funds for the purchase of the lift were acquired through the 1956 Easter Seal campaign. Patients are lifted from bed to chair, or vice versa, by means of the lift, which is placed beneath the patient while still lying or sitting down, and then by use of a hydraulic pump, the patient is lifted from his original position. Demonstrating the use of the device are Miss Marie Felber, superintendent of nurses at the local hospital, and also a member of the society, an d Deane T. Dorwin, who is president of the crippled children's society. The 1957 Easter Seal drive will officially open Friday, and Will continue through Easter Sunday. — —a—, , , - ,i ——————
