Flu Bug Hits At South Bend Schools SOUTH BEND, Jnd. (yPI) — About 5,000 school children were on an enforced vacation today due to onslaught of a “flu bug” described by health officials as less violent than the Asiatic variety; . ~....... About 4,100 students were reported absent from the public schools. Two parochial schools, St. Joseph's and St. Matthew’s, closed down entirely. FLOOD (Continued from rag* one) committee be given more time to K insider the measure. Sen.' Matew Welsh, Vincennes, Democratic minority leader, made a motion to lay Martin’s proposal on the table, in effect killing it. 1 Welsh’s motion lost out 27-23. with all Republicans voting against it and all Democrats for it. Martin’s motion to give the committee more time carried by the same vote. Six rebel Republicans who joined with the Democrats earlier in the week to bring SBIOO out of committee stuck to their party. That gave force to their earlier statements that tjjey would not support repeal until Senate Democrats joined them in putting teeth in a House-passed "union reform" bill. The . rebel group thus held the balance of power. SBIOO can only be brought up for second reading by its author, Sen. Roy Conrad (R-Monticello>, one of the rebels. He apparently was unwilling to do that until the "union reform" bill <HB66i was Strengthened. Had the upper chamber voted to bring SBI out of the committee where it has been for more than five weeks, Democrats could have brought it up for second reading at any time. Secdnd reading is the intermediate step before final passage in each house. A fight also developed in the House, this time over a bill iHB9Oi which would create a State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to take control and licensing of chiropractors from the 'physician-domihated State Board of Medical Registration. The bill, authored by Rep. Walter Beneville (D-Jeffersonvillet. a chiropractor, lost out by a 34-57 count. : The House passed. 88-0, a bill CHB377> which exempts unemplpyment compensation from cross income taxes and also passed, 80-3, a measure (HJR2> establishing a bipartisan legislative commission to end certain in justices developing from Indana's resdence requirements in public welfare and poor relief laws. The Senate passed, 39-0. a bill <SBIO3> which strengthens the 1957 law governing the labeling of hazardous poisons which may be purchased by unsuspecting customers and passed, 36-1, a bill (58240) setting a 10-mile an hour speed limit for motor boats operating in lake channels. The House did an about-face on a measure which failed earlier and passed. 82-1, a bill IHBII9> requring motorists to have their driver licenses in their posession at all times when driving. Tire House rejected the measure, 47-46. on Tuesday bringing a charge from its author that House Democrats were “out to get me" for voting against the "right to work" repeal bill. Rep. Robert Gramelspacher (D-Jasper) was one of seven Democrats voting against HB6. the repeal measure, when it passed the House' by a 76-17 count. -* — ■

MRS. EDNA PETERSON, 603 Penn St., returned home recently with her pilot guide dog, “Yorkie.” She will live with her son, Ralph. Mrs Peterson and Yorkie have just completed a course for guide dogs and their new masters at Pilot Dogs, Inc., in Columbus. O. The new team spent four weeks together learning to work together and to master the problems of modern transportation. Included in the new teams training were trips to the busy intersections of downtown Columbus, boarding crowded buses, riding escalators, elevators, and learning how to cope with revolving doors. While in Columbus, Mrs. Peterson and Yorkie enjoyed the companionship of the other students and many modern facilities of the newly constructed pilot house, the most modern guide dog school in the country. The students have private rooms plus attached baths. They delight in gathering in the recreation room where they “watch TV,” play cards, and many table games such as checkers, dominoes and scrabble. Os course the conversation is usually about their feautiful dog and their new found freedom. Pilot dogs are supplied to worthy blind persons without charge. All necessary expenses such as room and board, laundry, transportation to and from the school are paid for by Pilot Dogs, Inc. One of the substantial sources of funds for Pilot Dogs, Inc., has been the Pilot Guide Dog Foundation of Chicago, a non-profit organization, whose sole purpose is to raise funds for providing guide dogs to the blind. Much of the Foundation’s help comes through a label savings plan with the Perk Foods company, on its pet food products. The Perk Foods company redeems for cash all labels of its products sent by their customers to the Pilot Guide Dog Foundation.
