During that year there were a total of 3,406 pat-, ients. Os these patients, 76 percent received their expenses from local polio organizations. Death has cut short a promising career for James H. Sprunger, 28 year bld Berne Indiana University student. A head injury following a heart attack proved fatal to the popular student, who was editor of the Indiana Daily Student, college daily newspaper Tuesday. The young man had a host of rfiends both at home and on the school campus. AU join in extending sympathy to the Mother and Sister. . o—o— — State Senator Von Eichhorn, loquacious and genial member from Uniondale visited friends here this week. Sen. Eichhorn did not indicate that be would seek reelection in two years but by his vigorous defense of his actions in the recent General Assembly, it appears that the long time fighter for the people has decided not to hang up his gloves just yet. o ■ o Hoosier Democrats t will gather at Indianapolis next Saturday for the annual 825 per plate dinner to patch up bad leaks in the arty’s finances and hear a reash of what happened last Noember. They will have plenty to ilk about if they limit their disunions to Gov. Handley and his enchmen who have fumbled and ailed for several months. Carl sullen, president of the state "deratio not labor and long time temocrat until he deserted his arty and his friends to support landley, probably will come in fcr a lot of ribbing.

Catholic high school groups give banquets for their athletes. Why wouldn’t it be proper to select the ten highest honor students from each school and honor them with a public joint banquet Both schools have many excellent students and these young men and women, who put in countless hours on their books are just as vital to the schools as are the star athletes. They probably don’t get as many headlines for their achievements, but they get the jobs and opportunities which mean so much to a school when they continue to make good. A public dinner with a successful alumnus of each school sharing the afterdinner platform would be both appropriate and a great annual honor. It certainly is worthy of study by the two schools, as a good cooperative project. 0. M. McGeath, director of the Youth and Community Center has tendered his resignation effective May 1. Mr. McGeath came to Decatur almost two years ago and assisted in the opening of the Center and since that time has been the executive director. He has accepted a job in Toledo, O. and his many friends here wish him well. The director's job la a hard one in that it requires someone who can handle the Youth program and also operate the rest of the Center. including the feeding of thousands of people and arranging all meetings. Whether the present system of operation can be continued is questionable. The recreation board has- -worked - hard at holding down operation costs and every member deserves commendation for hours of study, especially over financial problems pertaining to the Center. Everyone in the Community agrees that the Center is ? a wonderful asset to our Community, but how far the people will go in financing the project is of course a matter of decision for the people. If operation costs increase, it will necessitate a higher tax rate and that will directly affect all of us. The board is composed of fine citizens and, no doubt will come up with a satisfactory solution so the Center can continue to be The Center of all community and youth activities. It may take some cost shaving but it is not impossible.

Grots Is On Road Without Big Top Use Buildings And Baseball Stoudiums NEW YORK (UP) — How does the circus—the big one, that folded its tent in the middle of last sea-son—-come back this year and schedule a full coast-to-coagt season without a train, without a cookhouse, without (of all things) a big top? It takes some doing, and some change of routine, but the straw bosses seem to think that from the way things have been working since the opening here last week, the new way of life is going to be all right "It’s amazing how many places have auditoriums big enough to bold a show like this," said a circus spokesman, gazing at the spiderweb of ringside rigging in Madison Square Garden. "But there's one trouble with appearing in buildings—few of them have room for y menagerie in addition to the show. We’ll have the menagerie here and in Boston, and then continue without it "We play Boston. Providence, R.1., and Hershey, Pa., in buildings. Then we go under the blue sky, in a ball park or stadium, in Norfolk. We go back to buildings in Charlotte, Raleigh, WinstonSalem, then into several open-air dates." The elephants of the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey combined shows will lumber into the Cow Palace of San Francisco a little more than a year after the Republican elephant cavorted there in convention. What do they do in case of rain? Issue rain checks? "We’re keeping our fingers crossed—and we think we’ve scheduled our outdoor appearances when the dry season is on to those sections,” one of the bosses said. There’s no dirt or sawdust for flooring this year. Many of the audiortiums objected to such things being dumped on their floors. The circus has developed a special formula. You watch them put down the ring floors and you see first a layer of black felt paper (which keeps the whole thing from then a building-board layer, then a heavy rubber matting. The matting alone is used on the runway that circles the ring area. The circus' own speetal train

CHAPTER 30 C’i'OßM after storm blew down Ks from the Rockies, each burying Fort Butterfield under another covering of snow, And tor day* at a time the thermometer hovered around zero, or plunged far below. Colonel Randall kept Chad confined to hi* quarters for two week*, and then released him without a word of explanation. Isabella Randall, a* far as Chad knew, did not leave her cabin. She was confined to her quarter* a* effectively a* Chad had been. Chad's relation* with Colonel Randall were even more coldly formal than they had been. When he stood at attention in front of Randall's desk, he was a puppet on a string, never knowing what turn the man’s twisted mind would take. The storms eased up in February, but the problems grew. There were always fights. Chad iginored them as much as possible. Zack said, "They gotter work off their cussedness someway. They’d better bust each other up than lose their hair to Cut Lip." Tension was a tangible thing, Showing even in Sergeant Anderson, the one man Chad thought he could count on. Then—and it hit Chad hard when he realized it — the same symptons were showing in him: short temper, angry word* that should never have been said, and sleepless nights when be rolled and turned until he wore himself out enough to sleep. Only Zack seemed unchanged. The food situation, next to the personnel problem, was Chad's greatest concern. The last steer had been butchered in February, and Zack brought in little game. There was much spoiled food in the last shipment that had come up the river, the canned goods almost entirely ruined. Rations were cut, and cut again. Unless a boat reached Butterfield by the middle of May, they would be entirely dependent on game, and that, as Zack pointed out, was that Cut Lip was waiting for. “AD Cut Lip’s gotter do is set atop yonder ridge and see to it we don’t get no buffler,” Zack said. “When we’re too weak to pull a trigger/ he’ll come a-visitin’ again." Chad did not teU RandaU how bad conditions were. So he was surprised when he received an order to come to the Colonel’s office on a day in mid-March shortly after the last blizzard had blown itself out and the air was still and cold. RandaU motioned Chad to a chair. It struck Chad that the

cars will go as far as Boston, then return to the winter quarters at Sarasota, Fla. The performers will travel any way they want—trains, buses, their own cars. The circus is moving the wardrobe, the rigging, and props with its own fleet of trucks.

Y. — (IP) — A long search for living relatives of poet Walt Whitman by the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association ended successfully. A graduate of St. Lawrence University, Walt Whitman Swertfager, produced authentication of such relationship. Swertfager and his twin brofoer, David, are great-great-grand-nep-hews of the author of "Leaves of Grass.”

Colonel had the look of a con): pletely defeated man. Suddenly Randall pointed a finger at Chad as if he were a teacher lecturing a slow-witted student. “Responsibility, Endicott Responsibility. If things go wrong, I’m to blame.” He tapped his chest. “Not you, not the nonooms, not the men. Me. You’D see for yourself someday, if you live. “Those fools in Washington think they can send me up here with a handful of axes and less than a hundred men—green men at that—and expect me to fight the whole Sioux nation." RandaU jabbed his finger at Chad again. "To top it all off, we find rotten stores. 1 tell you, Endicott, if I live long enough to get back to St. Louis, I’D kiU those thieving sons of Satan with my bare hands. I’D start with that Alvin Stiner. Just as sure as I’m standing here, he palmed off some of his defective food and shoddy goods on us.” The same thought had been in Chad’s mind for weeks. They had beans, because beans didn’t spoil. There was still some flour. It had weevils in it, but it was flour. Plenty of ham and bacon, but how much could be used was a question. Most of it should have been dumped into the river before it left St. Louis. In his more bitter moments, Chad suspected that Stiner had done this purposely 1 in the hope that the Fort Butterfield garrison would starve to death. He saw no point in telling RandaU his suspicions, so he nodded agreement. "Spring isn’t far off,” Chad said. "Things’ll ease up then.” •‘lf we’re still here.” Randall said gloomily. “Fifty-odd men to look after, to baby, and not even a doctor on the post. Richter and Sanvoe died from pneumonia last month. Who’s next ? By God, I'd rather die with a Sioux arrow in me than that way.” You probably won’t get your wish,, Chad thought That high flush around your cheekbones and temples doesn't look good. r s it just liquor, or a bad heart T "If the men don’t all die off of pneumonia or scurvy, they'U kill themselves with Injun liquor," RandaU went on. “I’m going to stop this business of sneaking over to Blaine and buying that rotgut I’m taking Cubberly and going to- Blaine today. I’U talk to McPherson over there and try to stop this business. We’ve lost three men now, trying to get to the liquor stocks. We can’t afford to lose any more." Chad rose. “Do you think you should take the risk?" "1 have to take it," Randall snapped. "I’m going to stop this 1

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LKB II I I >.|l Q. Is the bride’s family supposed to furnish transportation for those wedding guests who have no cars, from the church to the place of the reception? A. No; only the transportation for the wedding party itself. Q. If a woman is wearing a corsage pinned to her coat when entering a restaurant, what does she do with it at the table? A. She transfers it to her dress. Q. My husband and I took some guests for an auto ride recently, and I sat in the front seat with my husband, our guests in the rear. I have been criticized for this. Was I wrong? A. Yes You should have askedi one of your guests to sit in front, | while you sat in the back with the other guests. Q. If the list of guests to be invited to a wedding Is so small that engraved invitations don't seem necessary, how should the brde invite the guests? A. She should write each invitation personally. Q. Shouldn't dishes be served

running back and forth if I have to close Blaine up. I'll tell McPherson that, face to face." He scratched his nose, then added, “I’U see about buying supplies, too. If I'm refused, HI send you with a company to cap* ture the fort and take the supplies we need.” Today he meant to restock his own supply of whiskey. Later, when he wanted the fort attacked, he’d send Chad. “May 1 suggest you take Corporal Tolliver,” Chad said stiffly. “He’s the only one here besides Zack who has had some experience in this country." "Good suggestion, Endicott While I’m gone, 1 want you to driU the men for at least an hour." Half an hour later, Randall, foUowed by Zack and -Corporal Jeff Tolliver, left the fort and Chad took over the command. Following Randall’s orders, ne driUed both companies; to his surprise, there seemed to be an air of buoyancy among the men, now that RandaU was gone. There was no sullenness, no laggardly compliance to orders, no resentful stares from the ranks. The men liked him and he knew it He reciprocated the feeling and the men knew that It was enough to make him ponder the whole philosophy of army regimen and discipline. Regulations, he told himself, had their purpose. Without them, there would be no uniformity, no order. But there were places, particularly here on the frontier, where it was harder to fit the regulations to the men than the men to the regulations. At Butterfield,, men worked together through a common desire for survival. It was the Randall type, schooled in routine, that could not make the adjustment And in this new, wild country, man made the adjustment, not the land. It was late afternoon by the time the gun drills were finished. Chad stood for a few moments in the stockade gate, watching the guard change, and then walked around the post to be sure that all was secure for the approaching night Satisfied, he went to his quarters. He stamped his feet Ttefore the door, knocking off the snow, and threw open the door. He stood there motionless, his eyes on Isabella Randall. She sat on his bunk, tense and white-faced, nervously tearing at a tightly knotted handkerchief which she held in her lap. Will Isabella forget that the Colonel is a jealous husband?

from a person’s left, and be removed from his left also? A. Yes, although it is permissible to remove the dishes from his right. Q. Isn’t it all right to mail out the wedding announcements a day or so before the wedding, especially when you know you are going to be extremely busy after the wedding? A. Never; they should be mailed opt Immediately after the ceremony. A member of the bride’s family can take care of this. Q. Is it ever permissible to use the knife to convey food to the mouth? A. Never. The only purpose of the knife is cutting, and this should be done as skillfully as possible, and never in the manner of a saw. . 20 Years Ago Today April 11, 1937 was Sunday. r> 1 -'• — C Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE o — —- o Wall Paper Cleaner A wall paper cleaner can be made by making a paste by mixing 3 cupfuls of flour, 3 tablespoonfuls of ammonia and 1-14 cupfuls of water.
