Bob Burns Daughter Seeking New Chance HOLLYWOOD (UPD—Barbara Burns, daughter of the late comedian Bob (Bazooka) Burns, pleaded from jail today for “anyone” to give her a chance as an actress to save her from narcotics. The auburn-haired 21-year-old who left home three years ago to become an actress, told United Press International: “I don’t need narcotics physically. But sometimes, when I realize nobody will take a chance on me because of my conviction, I get that futile feeling that I’m finished—and that’s when I’ve taken the stuff. “Acting is the only thing in my life, and I can stop taking the stuff for good if I just have a reason, but I haven’t found one. Sometimes I feel I’ll be in and out of this jail all my life because there’s no place to go. Most of the girls come back.” Barbara is serving a 90-day sentence at the nearby Terminal Island Detention Center on a misdemeanor narcotics conviction Her mother, she, said, has refused to speak to her since she left their San Fernando Valley mansion in protest aganist a family desire that she become a society matron. “Nothing , would make me happier than if mother would come to see me,” a weeping Barbara said. “But it’s been the same thing for three years—l call, and I can’t get through.” An attorney for the mother, Mrs. Harriet Burns, said today she did not intend to see her daughter “at the present time.”

Modern Etiquette ,By ROBERTA LEE o —. o Q. I am allowing my women’s club to use my home for a reception in the near future. Am I supposed to head the reception line? A. The president of your club should receive officially as hostess. You can greet the guests at the door, and also circulate about to see that everyone is receiving the proper attention. Q. When should the bridegroom give his gifts to his best man and ushers? A. These gifts are usually put at the men’s places at the bachelor dinner. If there is no bachelor dinner, he may give out his gifts at some time during the reception. Q. Would it be proper for me to give a bathrobe to my finance for his birthday? • A. This is quite all right. DELTA THETA TAU Sorority Rummage Sale, Saturday, April 25, 1959, Starting at 9 A. M., Former Cole’s Market, Monroe Street. 95t3

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT. DECATUR. INDIANA

Merit Scholarship Tests Next Tuesday More than 36 junior students at the Decatur high school plan to take the national merit scholarship qualifying test, Hugh S. An- . drews, principal, announced today. The test will be administered at the high school at 9 a. m. Tuesday. The test is the first step in competition for merit scholarships provided by some 90 corporations, foundations, professional societies and individuals as well as by the national merit’ scholarship corporation itself. Some sls million in merit scholarships has been awarded in the first four years of the program. The number of scholarships awarded in any year depends upon the extent of sponsor participation. The basic continuing program is for one million dollars a year (for ten annual programs.) In addition, sponsor participation this year is expected to add about two million dollars more in sponsored merit scholarships. It is estimated that various outside-the-program sources will increase the present amounts offered to high scoring students by several million dollars. The national merit scholarship qualifying test is a three hour measure of educational development and college aptitude. Emphasis is on broad intellectual skills, and on understanding and ability to use what has been learned, rather than on sheer knowledge of facts. Some 10,000 semi-finalists, the highest scorers in each state, will be named early next fall. Each semi-finalist will take a second examination, and those who repeat their high performance will become finalists. Last year, Terry Marbach and Phyllis Schmidt? of this year’s senior class, were among the semi-finalists. The final winners will be announced in the spring of 1960, after further evaluation of grades, citizenship, and extra-curricular achievements will follow the second round of examinations. Each merit scholarship carries a stipend based on the need of each individual winner, and is renewable annually without further competitive examination. Average stipend in past years has been S7OO per year. The minimum award in the 1959-60 program will be SIOO a year and -the, maximum will be $1,500 annually. About 700 merit scholars, winners of the 1958-59 competition, will be named next week. They are winners in the fourth merit program which began last April.

Goshen Newspaper Takes Top Award GOSHEN. Ind. (UPH-The Goshen News today celebrated for the second time in three years the honor of winning the Ayer Cup for excellence in typography, makeup and printing. The Indiana newspaper, which has a circulation of less ’’than B.ooo,»was adjudged winner over 848 other such metropolitan the New York Times, New York Herald Tribune and Atlanta Constitution. The News also won the cup in 1957, In 1958, it was judged best of the less than 10,000 circulation class. Twice previously, the News was singled out for honorable mention or special commendation. Editor R.C. Lehman said he and his staff were “surprised and pleased.” “We are all very ple&sed over this, of course,” he said. "It is a little hard to believe.” Lehman said the entire staff of the newspaper from the news department to the back shop “had a part in it.” He said the paper has entered the competition annually for at least 15 or 20 years. The News, which is a client of United Press International, was the only Hoosier paper cited. The newspapers were judged on their editions of March 17. Although the competing papers knew which week the edition to be judged would be chosen from, the actual date of the edition was not selected until after the publication date.

Peaceful Mission Os Toys To Russia By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — America jyill send a peaceful mission of 1 toys to Moscow this summer. No tanks. No miniature atomic power plants. Only one gun. But the little Russians will get the full treatment of the “American way of life,” childhood version, with plenty of cowboys and Indians, electric trains, bikes, stuffed animals, construction sets and dolls that wet. All are part of the American national exhibit, which will open in the Russian capital July 25 and 1 run for six weeks. Other industries which will participate in the fair are the automotive, farm equipment, furniture, appliance and other hard goods manufacturers. “We want to give the Russians an honest image of American playthings,” said a researcher at George Nelson and Co., the design firm which, with the U.S. government, made the final selection of toys and other facets of Americana to be shown. The one gun that made it ain’t for fighting wars anyway. It’s a replica of the “Fanner,” a revolver which the heroes of the Old West used on varmints. About 75 manufacturers have donated 400 toys for the exhibit, which will occupy a section of two giant exhibition halls in Sokolniki Park. The industry said the playthings will be divided into these general categories: Pre - school, construction, learning and developing skills, miniatures, dolls and houseI keeping toys, quiet fun, the Wild West and active equipment. Frees Two Officials Os Contempt Charge FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) — Allen Superior Judge Lloyd Hartzler cleared the Allen County prosecutor and sheriff of contempt of court charges Thursday. Prosecutor J. Byron Hayes and Sheriff Custer Dunifon were threatened with contempt in connection with the indictment and arrest on gambling charges of officials of two Fort Wayne sales companies. Hartzler had ordered the two officials to appear in court on grounds that they had violated his 1957 injunction against enforcing a state anti-pinball machine law. But ,the judge changed his mind Thursday and declared the two men innocent. The case began when a grand jury indicted officials of Lee Sales Co., and Hizer Sales Co., on charges of violating the anti-pin-ball law. Hartzler ruled in 1957 that the law was “class legislation” and unconstitutional as such. He ruled that pinhall machines are not gambling devices. The clearing of the sheriff and prosecutor, however, paved the way for the gambling trial of the Sales —company officials- Monday. They are now free on bond.

Parishioners Expect Too Much Os Pastor By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International If you could take a close-up look at your minister’s private life, what would you find? You’d find that he has many worrisome family problems and that most of them are caused, unintentionally, by parishioners who expect too much of him. A revealing glimpse into the “off - stage” life of the typical Protestant clergyman is provided by a survey just completed by the Office of Family Education Research of the United Presbyterian Church. It covered nearly 2,800 Presbyterian ministers, chosen at random from all parts of the country. Their biggest personal headache is too little time at home., Family Life Suffers Church and community activities make such exorbitant de-1 rnands op the average minister’s time that he has little left over to spend with his family. His wife and children complain, with jus-, tice, that they rarely get a chance to do things together like-a normal family. And even when they do plan a day or an evening together, it is likely to be interrupt-! ed either by an emergency call or by one of the unnumerable functions at which the pastor is expected to "put in an appearance.” ; i The minister’s second biggest problem, according to the survey, is -that there is almost. no one,! outside of his own family, with whom he can let down his hair I and be himself. He feels imprisoned within a stereotyped “role” that people expect him to play., He is not allowed, like other men, to have days on which he feels cross, irritable and grumpy. He must even beware of feeling lighthearted, lest someone mistake it for impiety. It should be noted that this problem of being "always on pa-1 rade” is far more pronounced ■ among the pastors of small town and rural churches than among ministers of big city and suburban churches. Among Lowest Paid A closely related complaint of many pastors is that their wives and children are expected to be “different.” Many a layman holds up for the minister’s family a standard of perfection which he would never think of applying to his own family. The ministers listed in fourth place the personal problem that a layman might have expected them to mention first. That is difficulty in making ends meet fi--1 nancially. > Clergymen are the lowest-paid professional men in America. A recent study (which covered ministers in several major Protestant denominations) showed their average salary is about $4,500 a year. It also indicated that twothirds of the nation’s Protestan minisers are in deb. Many of them reported their wives have had to go to work to bring even an austerity family budget into balance.
