Arkansas has been under four flags—Spanish, French, the Confederate and American. A colorful character in the early territorial history of New Mexico was Lucien B. Maxwell, a hunter and trapper who became the sole owner of 1,714,765 acres of land near Taos. In 1870, he organized a bank in Santa Fe and issued stock certificates bearing a picture of himself smoking a large cigar. It costs lots more to revenge injuries than to bear them.

Paddling 01 Pupils Irks Gary Parents Accuse Teacher Os Paddling Students GARY, Ind. (VP) — Parents called for the ouster of a sixth grade teacher who was accused by a grammar school principal of paddling 11 students who failed a vocabulary, test graded by their classmates. The principal of Edison School, Clarence E. Swingley, said some of the paddled students "actually had passed the test,” and added that some parents told him their children were “black and blue.” ! Swingley said the teacher, GorI don D. Schipper, admitted paddling each of the 11 children last Friday , six times while the remainder of the class watched. “Schipper said he then gave the ’ paddle to some ‘passing’ students and they each took a few swings at the ‘failures,’ ’’ Swingley added. Schipper, a science teacher, previously had been “cautioned” about administering corporal punishment to pupils, Swingley said, but admitted he had "made a mistake” in the paddling. Schipper, who continued to teach amid the furor, was still on the job although the Gary Board of Education planned to discuss the incident at its next meeting. Schipper said he hoped the mass spanking would be a ‘’test case” for the entire school. The action was due, he said, to a combination of incidents over a long period. “Paddling is not illegal according to state' law.” said Dr. Alden Blankenship, Gary superintendent of schools. “However, it is the policy of Gary schools to administer corporal punishment only as a last resort.” The father of one of the spanked pupils came to Schipper’s defense however. “Teachers should take more action to keep discipline in school and parents should back them up,” he said. “If my boy gets paddied in school again,. I told him he could expect another one when he gets home.” — Howard Habegger To Head Monroe Lions Howard Habegger was elected president of the Monroe Lions club Tuesday night during the annual election of officers, outgoing president Martin Steiner said today.
