throw more money after the SIOO a head they paid to attend the first one-night cruise aboard a luxury liner in the history of the port of New York. I “What are they playing?” 'asked actress Shirley Booth, who wandered into the brightly lit casino from the dimly lit ballroom where French Chanteuse Lilo was undulating in a pair of long white gloves and little else. Industrialist Alfred P. Sloan Jr. told her roulette, craps, blackjack and birdcage. “That’s enough, honey!” she exclaimed with a wide-eyed look of astonishment. “When they announced, games, I thought we were going to play parlor games.” Greatest of Great Parties Very few took anything away but the conviction that the last of the social season’s great parties, from which several hundred would-be subscribers had been turned away, had perhaps been the best. Certainly no other event could boast a background panorama of Manhattan's skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty gilded by the setting sun and the distant lights of Brooklyn and Staten Island twinkling after nightfall. It was sable stole weather, moonlight clear and perfect for sailing. West Side slum dwellers and scores of sailors gawked as hundreds of cabs disgorged the fashionably dressed crowd, including the Lawrence Rockefellers, Harvey S. Firestones, William Paleys, French Ambassador and

After working through a Parisian lamb dinner from Caspian caviar to coupe glacee Romanoff washed, down with carafes of red and white wine, the celebrants got down to the serious business of the evening — gambling. The night ended about 2:30 a.m. with the raffle of a Buick station wagon', won by department store tycoon Bernard Gimble, and an old French custom —a serving of onion soup all around.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT. DECATUR, INDIANA
Ask Citation For Only Woman Mayor WHITING, Ind. (UPD—Five of the seven members of the Whiting City Council voted Monday night to demand that Indiana’s only woman mayor be cited for nonfeasance of office. The councilmen held a special session and voted to ®sk a citation against Mrs. Mary Bercik, who was appointed mayor two years ago after her husband, the elected mayor, drowned in a lake fishing accident. Mrs. Bercik was renpminated in - the Democratic primary last month for another term in offie. The five councilmen who took the action were defeated for re-j nomination last May in the same party primary at which Mrs. Bercik was renominated. They charged that Mrs. Bercik did not endorse them during her campaign. The dispute apparently stemmed from the fact that the council normally adopts an annual resolution calling for only one, instead of two, monthly council meetings during summer months. Councilmen said through John Sopo, one of the group who acted as presiding officer at the session, that Mrs. Bercik was asked “reputedly” to confer with them on the issue but ignored the request. Mrs. Bercik denied ignoring the request and said' her political career “has been highlighted by my willingness to cooperate, particularly with the council.” # U Mrs. Bercik, according to Sopo, said she thought it unneessary to adopt a resolution on the number of monthly meetings. She called off a regular session scheduled for Monday night but hte majority of the councilmen met anyway. Over 2,500 Dally Democrats an sold and delivered in ijecatur each day.
More Blood Donors Needed For Surgery Several more blood donors are needed to help with the heart operatioh of Deborah Ann Seitz, who will undergo surgery July 8. Deborah Ann is the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond W. Seitz. 611 North Second street. The local office of the American Red Cross and the Adams county heart association are teaming together to gather blood donors, and to provide transportation and meals for the donors, who will make the trip to the Indiana University medical center at Indianapolis. The Red Cross reported today that there has been good response to the call for blood donors over the weekend, but several more are needed to insure that there will be enough donors, u.cluding several donors, in case some could not donate blood at the last minute. Prospective donors are asked to telephone or call at the Red Cross Office, as soon as possible. Anyone between 18 and 60 years of age. weighing over 110 pounds, may donate blood, if his type is O positive. He must not be under doctor’s care. Immediately before he donates blood, he may not eat for three hours, and he may not drink alcoholic beverages for at least 12 hours. Donors will be taken to the Indiana University medical center, Indianapolis, where they will donate blood. Blood for this operation, which requires the use of a heartlung machine to detour the circulation away from the heart, must be freshly drawn and whole.
Bev Hanson Winner In Golf Playoff MINNEAPOLIS. Minn. (UPD— Bridesmaid Bev Hanson finally became the bride by winning the American Women’s Open golf championship here Monday in a sudden-death play-off with Louise Suggs. The girl voted North Dakota’s greatest woman athlete of the century sunk a three-and-one-half foot putt for a birdie four on the first hole of the play-off for her first tournament win in a year. She had finished runner-up seven times the past year. It was a brilliant finish for what up to then had been strictly a personal feud between Miss Suggs and Miss Hanson. They had been bunched with three others for the lead the first day and tied in the second round. Miss Hanson went ahead by two strokes the third round. Miss Suggs caught up to Miss Hanson when she chipped in a 50footer for a birdie three cm the 17th green. Then she had to wait over half an hour for Miss Hanson to finish. Miss Suggs’ try for a birdie three on the sudden-death hole was a 12-foot putt that died on the lip of the eup. It was the 17th that gave Miss Hanson the tie. Her drive carried over the short hole. Her chip fell about 15 feet short. But her putt tumped along the green and into the cup for a birdie. Miss Hanson’s 297 wouldn’t have been good enough for runner-up honors a year, the first time the tournament was held. Patty Berg won it with a 288 and Miss Suggs was second at 296. The winner’s share of the purse came to a little under $1,300.

State Veterinarian Warns Over Rabies
A young girl is bitten by a dog. After the wound heals, she develops a fever and an infection, and must have the Pasteur treatments for suspected rabies. This was the case in Portland recently. Although no positive cases of rabies in animals or humans has been reported this year for Adams county, rabies is more dangerous and more often seen during the spring and summer, and so far the rest of Indiana has shown a high rate of rabies infection in animals. In the case at Portland, luckily, the attending health officer became fairly sure that the case was' not rabies when the child’s feverbroke in the second day after it had developed. However, the treatments were continued because the day that bit the girl when she was in southern Indiana recently, could not be found for observation. If nothing more serious, the incident caused needless pain, worry, and expense. “We in Indiana have been fortunate that no human deaths have resulted in spite of our recent high rate of animal infection,” Dr. T. M. Curtin, Purdue University extension veterinarian, has observed. More than* 300 cases, most of them in dogs, were identified by laboratory tests in Indiana last year. Eight Counties Quarantined At the close of April, the state livestock sanitary board reports, eight counties in Indiana were under quarantine, and the state board of health laboratory had confirmed 13 positive cases of rabies, nine of them from Marion county. In May, the board reports, there were 17 positive cases of rabies identified, 10 of them from Marion county. For Adams county, neither the county and city health officers who would report cases of rabies in humans, or the veterinarians, who can send animal specimens for laboratory tests, have reported any cases of positive rabies for this year. To safeguard against rabies it is necessary to obey state rabies laws. It is unlawful to harbor any dog over six months of age which has not been immunized against rabies. Persons may be found guilty of a misdemeanor, subject to a fine not exceeding SSO. If any person who harbors a dog over six months of age, which is

not immunized against rabies, allows such a dog to run loose, with the result that a human being is injured, another misdemeanor charge is possible. The fine shall not exceed SIOO, to which may be added imprisonment of not more than 30 days. In quarantined areas, all dogs must be confined on the premises of the owner or in a suitable place for their impounding and carg/ subject to the approval of -the state veterinarian: Dogs may leave the premises provided the owner keeps them under restraint, ao they do not come into contact with another animal or person. The animals in- which rabies have been found this year are not only dogs, but cats, cows, foxes, horses, opossum, skunks, rats, hogs, and rabbits. Noble county reported its first case of rabies for this yer rin cow which was bitten by a skunk. One Anima! Exposes Many During the early stage of the disease, rabid animals roam and wander aimlessly, attacking other animals and even inanimate objects. In this way, a single rabid animal may exposes many other animals and persons. For example, one small puppy in Marion county last year was responsible for the expoSufe Os at least 15 persons. . j There is no cure for, nor any treatment successful against rabies, once the symptoms appear. Control of the disease is dependent upon the annual vaccination of pets, and control of all strays. Dr. Curtin cautions against befriending or petting any stray animal. Such animals should be brought to the attention of the local police. A person bitten by an animal should immediately notify health authorities or his local veterinarian so the animal can be confined and observed. In addition, the vicrim should contact his physician s-_> protection can be received. Rabies virus is spread through saliva which enters the body through breaks in the skin, such as bite wounds or other injuries which become contaminated by the saliva of infected animals. The incubation period for the virus can be from ten days for a wound on the face to a year from a wound on the fingers or other extremities.

Eddie Arcaro Is Home From Hospifal NEW YORK (UPD—Eddie Arcaro leaves Physician’s Hospital today, thankful for the helmet that probably saved his life in a spill suring Saturday’s running of the Belmont Stakes.
