' W ; 1959 Polio Total ■ Is 14 In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS <UPI> — IndiI ana’s 1959 polio case total climbed • officially to 14 last week, the ■ State Board of Health reported today. The board's weekly morbidity report added three cases during ‘ the week, two in Lake County and one in Union. > The 14 cases compared with 2 this time last year and a fiveyear median of 24. One American adult out of eight now owns stock in U.S. business. Rents in the United States more than doubled between 1947 and 1957. Service expenditures—what the consumer spends on housing, household utilities, medical care, personal care, public transportation and recreation—went from 31 per cent of the average American’s bills in 1947 to 37 per cent in 1957. About two-fifths of the increase reflected higher prices.

Judges Test Quality Os 4.H’ers Exhibits

After a pause that had seemed ■ to last an age, the judge said, “And this one will be an ‘A’.” And the faces of her young spectators changed expressions. Take the girl who got the A rating—her expression brightened from a serious, intent look to a smile that slowly spread across her whole face. The judge had been inspecting ! their 4-H projects, commenting on i the workmanship, the skill involv- ■ ed, and the improvements that > could be made on some of them (including those that she thought best), but not telling her decision ; until last. The girls were gathered i around her, most of them watchi ing her quite closely, all waiting ; for the ratings, which seemed more important than anything else at the moment. ' Scenes such as this were repeated many times this week as two judges, one for clothing and one for foods, judged the quality of 4-H sewing, baking, and food preservation for all of the 15 eligible clubs in Adams county, club by club. Results of the local judging will i go on exhibit the first day of the i fair. Judging began Monday, when Mrs. Luke Thaman, foods judge, from Bryant, O„ and Mrs. Dwight Smith, clothing judge from Convoy, 0., began the local judging with the Union Pals and the Monmouth Merry Maids at Monmouth school. Tuesday morning at the American Legion home here, the projects of the Preble Jolly Juniors Decatur Peppy Gals, and Preble Peppy Pals were judged. That afternoon at Adams Central school, the Monroe Boosterettes’ projects were judged. Wednesday, at Adams Central all day, judging was for the Washington Happy Hustlers, Blue Creek Up and At It, Kirkland Kut Ups, French Peppy Peppers, and the St. Mary’s Kekionghs. Today, the last day of local judging, these clubs’ home economics projects were judged at Berne school: Berne Jolly Workers, Jefferson Work and ; Win, Wabash Cloverleaf, Hartford Happy Go Lucky, and Wabash Cloi verblossom. Placings in the local judging are ■ for three grades, A ; B, and C. The group that wins the blue ribbon ! A’s is the honor group, and will be re-judged on Friday and Monday ! for the premium placings and a i chance to go on to the state fair exhibits. For the honor division, five placings will be awarded: first through fifth prize ribbons. Tasting One After Another When the club arrives in a group with their leaders, judging begins with the baking I cookies, and the clothing I aprons. The baking judge begins by tasting a sample from each group of cookies, perhaps commenting on the most important thing she looks for in the beginning cookies—flavor. After the judging is over she has pointed out why she has selected a certain project for an A rating, and why others are graded B , or C. If she lists a large number of l projects as A, or excellent, she may remind the girls, “Just because you got a blue ribbon this year doesn’t mean you will next year.’’ She reminds them that their 1 work will be harder next year, but that they will be a year older, and have more experience and will be expected to improve. In the baking 111 class, where

I the girls make fruit upside-down cakes, she may comment that this project is one of the hardest things to judge: “It is hard to spoil brown sugar and butter.” Since the toppings usually taste so good, it is the quality of the cake that is very important in this judging, she may point out. Miniature Dress Revue When the clothing projects are judged, the scene is like a dress revue in miniature. Each girl must first model her article, whether it be an apron or a complete ensemble, with a coat and skirt and blouse. Later the judge also inspects the article when the girl is not wearing it, for workmanship. The youngest girls in sewing, who made drawstring aprons, appear in a group before her first, in their aprons. Each one walks in front of the judge and turns around, as she watches for things such as unclipped threads or hems that are not even. Taking off their aprons, the girls, who have probably just had their first try at modeling something they have made, Ihy their projects on the judge’s table and cluster around her for her comments. She may pick one of the best aprons and point out the good qualities in it: even hem; all threads either double stitched or tied at the ends and clipped neatly; and the right depth for the drawstring. Then, as she grades the rest of the aprons, she may ask a girl as she picks up her apron just how she thinks her apron compares with the standards that were just set up. Record Books Cheeked As the judging is going on, some of the girls whose projects are not being judged yet may help with two things the extension office takes care of: gathering cards for the dress revue and record books. Each girl who wants to participate in the dress revue fills out a card telling what sort of garment she has made so it can be described when she comes onstage in the public revue. It is up to Miss Lois Folk, county home demonstration agent, and Miss Linda Gould, apprentice home agent, to inspect the record books in the meantime—one for each of the members of the clubs. The record books are not just a place to tell when a certain part of the project was done to complete club requirements. but it also asks some questions that make the home ec girl evaluate her own self, In the clothing project, the girl takes stock of herself: her hair, face and figure type, which all are important to know about in choosing the right color and style for the dress or skirt or ensemble she makes for herself. An evaluation like this makes the girl really stop and think, the two home agents say. And perhaps, in the end, this judging and evaluating that is done at the end of 4-H season each year represents one of the important things 4-H gives to the club member: the chance to first work "on a particular kind of project in an organized program, and then to evaluate the work that was done, with the help of older persons who have had more experience. Ribbons and awards seem most important at the moment of judging, but in the final summation, the real value of the program is in the work the 4-H*er learns to do, and how it is possible to improve that work.

Denied Permission To Attend Funeral WEST COVINA. Calif. (UPD— Dr. Bernard Finch. 41, accused of killing his socialite wife, Barbara, has been denied permission to attend her funeral Friday. Finch, part owner of a medical center, petitioned Superior Judge Lewis Drucker late Wednesday to be allowed to leave his jail cell to attend the funeral, but the jurist turned him down. The Finches had been estranged. Judge Drucker said he thought Finch’s attendance at the funeral services would be “improper under the circumstances.” Police Chief Allen Sill also revealed Mrs. Finch might have been beaten before she was shot. He said an autopsy disclosed that two head wounds on the dead woman each caused minor skull fractures. He said blood from the wounds had flowed down her shoulders, indicating she was standing after they were received. Carol Tregoff Pappa, Finch’s 22-year-old cocktail waitress girl friend, revealed Wednesday under further questioning by police that Mrs. Finch aimed a revolver at her Saturday night, the night Mrs. Finch was killed. Mrs. Pappa. a divorcee and former receptionist for Finch, said Finch asked her to drive him here last Saturday after he arrived at her Las Vegas, Nev., apartment. “He told me he wanted me to talk to his wife and try to get her to settle their divorce out of court. He told me it might be better for me to reason with her.” Mrs. Pappa said she and Finch drove to his SBO,OOO home here and waited for his wife to arrive home from the Los Angeles Tennis Club Saturday night. “We saw her car drive into the garage and we followed on foot. She was halfway out of the car when Dr. Finch said, ‘We want to talk to you.’ “She told him,” sai Mrs. Pappa, “ ‘Well, I don’t want to talk to you.’ “She reached back into the car and came out with a gun in her hand and pointed it at me. I don’t recall any words. I ran out the side door and hid in the bushes.” Mrs. Pappa said that before she left she saw Finch “lunge at his wife, reaching for the' gun, trying to get it away from her.” So far Finch has maintained a determined silence about the case, refusing to admit or deny openly his presence at the scene of the crime or whether he knew whose gun was used in the killing. Officers Feared To Testify On Waste WASHINGTON (UPD — A major general and a rear admiral were afraid to come before a congressional subcommittee and tell what they knew about alleged waste in the foreign military aid program, it was disclosed today. Rep. Otto E. Passman (D-La.l, chairman of the House foreign aid appropriations subcommittee, said the two officers feared “charges of insubordination migtg result if they should testify publicly...” Passman said the two highranking military men told him privately that the Pentagon was “forcing” some foreign countries to accept much more war equipment than they '•ould use. The congressman did not identify the two officers but said in testimony made public tfclday that they were serving in American military aid missions overseas. Passman said hearings by his subcommittee showed practices in the military aid program which were “almost unpardonable.” Most of the alleged irregularities were uncovered by investigators for the General Accounting Office (GAO) which acts as Congress’ watchdog on government spendingGAO witnesses testified, however, that their inquiry had been hampered by the refusal of the Defense Department and the International Cooperation Administration (ICA) to provide the agency with certain reports and other information. Comptroller General Joseph Campbell called the refusal “one of the most serious things that could happen in government” He said investigations by his auditors showed a “pattern of loose, lax administration runs through the entire complex” of America’s foreign aid program. It is estimated that at least 145 different languages are spoken in the Soviet Union. Approximately 93 per cent of all homes in New York City have television sets.

Make Bus Tour Os Church Institutions Thirty-three adults and seven girls, members of Evangelical and Reformed churches, St. Luke, Honduras, and St. John, Vera Cruz, recently made a bus tour of insti- ( tutions of the church. First stop was the home for the aged at U> per Sandusky, Ohio. This home has a beautiful campus and cares for 100 residents. It was “Visitation day, open house,” with hundreds of visitors from many Ohio towns. After a lunch served on the grounds, the next stop was Heidelberg College at Tiffin. Mr. Stearns guided us through the campus of 18 buildings, including Seiberling Gym and the new Kings Dormitory for men. The college has over 800 students.
