Ham Salad Blamed .In Food Poisoning I I Reports Confirmed By Board Os Health INDIANAPOLIS IP — Earlier i reports that ham salad caused food poisoning which struck hundreds of' 1 high school girls at a convention iin Crawfordsville last Saturday i |,w\re —edii firmed by the Indiana | (State Board of Health late Wednesday. • I There wgs a "very heavy bac4 terial contamination . intheham.. salad," said Health Commissioner Dr. A. C Offutt. ■ Offutt made the report after an investigation by a team of experts from the board. But the investiga-: .tors still were unsure if the ham mayonnaise hr the salad caused the illness of between 400 and 600 I members of the Sunshine Society. | It would "be very likely ham rather than mayonnaise. " said Offutt. Sick girls crowded hospitals in Crawfordsville and other Hoosier . cities, forcing authorities to set up 'an emergency hospital in the 'Crawfordsville High School. The , ham salad was served at lunch; The girls quickly recovered and most of them were ready forl school Monday, Auto Catches Fire In Starting Effort A car belqnging to Mrs. Jack Weldy, Decatur, caught fire as she tried to start it Wednesdayevening in the General Electric parking lot.

Worthman Speaker Al Pleasant Dale Hold Family Night On Sunday Evening Johil R. Worthman, of Fort Wayne, will be the speaker-at the Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren’Sunday evening for a special family night for members and i their visiting friends. A fellowship supper will be held at the : parish hall at 6:30 p.m., followed by a service at the church at 8 p.m. where Worthman will speak on life in Russia, and show pictures. In 9155, President Eisenhower suggested an inter-visitation program between nations to promote better understanding at the fournation summit conference. This was unanimously agreed upon by those present. In response to this, the national association of home builders extended an invitation to Soviet builders to visit the U.S., which uras accepted. Fort Wayne was included in the tour in the fall of 1955, when they visited 12 cities of the nation. Worthman had the 1 privelege of being a host to these "men when in Fort Wayne as well ag having them to dinner in his home. Following this tour, the American home builders received and accepted an invitation to visit the Soviet Union in 1956. The Amerii can delegation consisted of 14 home builders. representing all areas of the “U.S., also two real estate men from Boston who were studying rental housing. home builder’? public relations director, an one Russian speaking American as interpreter. The delega- : tion left New York by plane June ; 10. 1956 spent 40 days touring Paris? London? Prague and Russia i itself. As guests of the Russian govern- : ment and builders. they visited 12 major cities and -their environs, traveling 6500 miles by plane, train, bus. boat and "limousine. They had a vast opportunity to I exchange ideas with people, from ; the common citizen to the top-le-vel administrative officials. This American delegation had i the opportunity to be closely associated with some 15 Russian ! officials and other touring ass is t- ■ ants for four weeks, wherein they learned much about the conditions i and customs of the country. Worth- . man stated that he is well convinced of the value of such exchange visitations between all nations of the world. He quotes a iTtatcment •'Credl'tied' "to" btre 'Cf*'tße' Russiaikdelegation which he thinks is a most significant statement of this time. "Often the people of i A nation can better promote peace I than can their government.' His talk while showing slides in color will illustrate his impressions of the people, their economy, housing and way of life in a country where less than 5% of the people ‘ belongs to the party that controls the entire country He will also ! give his impressions of the differences encountered partaining to economic and political philosophies, and some misimpreisions of each other and some ideas on what might lx-tter promote world peace • as well as to compete with the Soviet's new program of global culture and economic aggression. Worthman grew up in the neighborhood of the Pleasant Dale Church and is married to Alice • Yaney. who was raised in the congregation. He is well known in Decatur area where he has done much building. He is past president of the Fort Wayne Central pEabns club, real estate board, Civic Association, Salvation Army advisory board and a member of the Plymouth Congregational church, a charter member and first president of the local home builder's association and for two years vice president of the nationial association of home builders and now serving as a trustee of the Research Institute in Washington, D.C, j. John D. Mishler, pastor of the church stated that visitors and i friends are welcome to these service of the church.

Warn Children Stay Off Railroad Bridge Two children, believed to be about 11 years-old, were playing on the Erie railroad tracks Satur-— day at the St. Mary's bridge crossing. At the same time train number five started around the cur-i ; ve. If the engineer hadn’t seen the two and applied the brakes, the two children might have been killed. J. E. Zinsmeister, for the railroad, asked all parents to advise their childreh to stay away from the rairoad tracks, and to leave all railroad property alone. The above incident, could have been a repeat of what happened in Texas recently when five i children lost their lives doing the * ; same thing. Warn Against Use Os New Telephone Book Persons who received the new telephone books are.warned not to use them until May 1, Charles D. Ehinger, president of Citizens Telephone company, said today. Marty numbers in the new book will not be effective until that date. I The txxiks were mailed out earlier than anticipated, and have led to some misunderstanding. Listings ip the new book will not be effective until next Thursday, and persons calling by the new books [ will get the wrong number. Jesus did not argue the future I life, he assumed it.
