In response to questions, Hendricks did not rule out the possibility that he would accept the nomination for lieutenant governor, a post which has been deemed likely for him by observers. “I support the sales tax because I have to pay it in nearly every other -state that ! visit,” Hendrieks said. Hendricks, whose home town has a population of about 700, said laughingly that he has been running for governor ever since he was 18 years old. Congress a Possibility He eschewed the possibility that he might try for the Bth District Congressional nomination. « _ i Two of the office heads of Hendricks are members of the GOP state committee. They are Hugh Gray, Loogootee, 7th District, and John Whicker, Portland, sth. Hendricks admitted he is friendly to former Sen. William E. Jenner, but denied vigorously that he is “the Jenner candidate for governor.” “I do not "seek ffie governor nomination as a candidate of any group, or individual, or special interest,” Hendricks said. “I am depending upon the regular Republican organizations, the elected precinct, county and 'state officers, and the dulyelected delegates.” _ Hendricks, who is 49 years old, is completing his second two-year term as Secretary of State and is ineligible to sun again for that office. He was graduated from Silver Creek High School and attended Central Normal College and Indiana University. He is married and has a son in Purdue University and a daughter at Indiana University.

12 Women Are Named World's Best Dressed By FREDERICK WINSHIP United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Twelve rich and socially prominent women, most of whom favor French fashion designers, have been named the best dressed women in the world for 1963. The annual list was issued Sunday as the result of a poll of 2,000 international style observers conducted by a fashion publicist. Eleandr Lambert. As usual, the list did not include an average U. S. working girl although experts claim she dresses as well on a limited budget as many of her wealthier sisters. Nor was Mrs. John F. Kennedy listed as she has been for the past three years. The selection Committee noted that the former First Lady had been ruled out of the competition “in deference to her mourning.” '"Her” '"sister, Princess Stanislas Radziwill, remained on the list. There were two non-average American working girls on the list, one born a Vanderbilt and the other a Hutton. They were actress-painter Gloria yanderbilt, who recently 'took Wyatt Cooper as her fourth husband, and film star Dina Merrill, who is Mrs. Nedenia Hutton Rumbough in private life. The film beauty made a comeback after a four-year absence from the list. ' Favor U.S. Designers Miss Merrill and another member of the Vanderbilt clan, Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, were the only two on the list who favor American designers almost exclusively. Their couturiers include Mainbocher and Luis Estevez of New York and Jean Louis of Los Angeles. The new faces on the list included the ethereal Mrs. Vanderbilt, who was the former Jean Harvey of Chicago; Empress Farah of Iran, and Mrs. T. Charlton Henry, one of Philadelphia’s most elegant matrons. The holdovers were Mrs. Loel Gunness of the British stout family; Baroness Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza of the German-Swiss metals fortune; Mrs. Walther Moreira - Salles, wife of a Brazilian bankerdiplomat: Mrs. David K. E. Bruce, wife of the U. S. ambassador to Britain, and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, the oilrich Palm Beach hostess. The committee dropped poet Ogden Nash’s author daughter, Mrs. Frederick Eberstadt, apparently- because she has become her fashion photographer husband’s favorite model. The .youthful, z piquant Mrs. Eberstadt was removed to a special list for well dressed women connected with the fashion industry. Returns To List Princess Alexandra of Kent was returned to the' Jist after a year’s absence, probably because of the publicity surrounding her marriage to businessman Angus Ogilvy. Her mother, Princess Marina of Kent? - was a longtime fixture of the list but has been “graduated” to fashion’s permanent Hall of Fame to make room for new blood. The Fashion Hall of Fame admitted three of 1962’s listees, lifting them out of future scrambles for best dressed fame. They are Mrs. John Barry Ryan 111, who was a fashion editor before she married Otto Kahn’s grandson; Mme. Herve Alphand, popular wife of the French ambassador to Washington,,, and Signora Gianni Agnelli of Italy’s Fiat automotive family. i The favorite couturiers named by these women included Balenciaga. Givenchy, Dior, St. Laurent and Courreges, all of Paris/ Only Princess Alexandra, obviously a supporter of the “Buy British” campaign, shops in London where she favors department stores and designers Michael and John Cavanagh. / Glass 'Drainer If your .kitchen drainboard dish--drying rack is too small to hold all your after-party glasses, you may have, several extra ones in your closet-.

John Parrish Marks His 94th Birthday

By Bob Shraluka A spry and chipper resident of this city who has helped “raise” hundreds of neighbors and fellowcitizens, observed his 94th birthday Monday. John R. Parrish, who lives by himself at 231 N. Fifth St., saw another birthday come and go Monday without any fanfare or big celebration. With Mr. Parrish, birthdays are becoming “old hat,” as well they might be after you have had 94 of them. During his 94 years, Mr. Parrish has seen many, many changes in our complex world, and has known the assassination of three U. S. presidents. But the most outstanding thing in his long and illustrious life is the number of years he spent teaching young people the three R s—6l years to be exact. Mr. Parrish retired from teaching in the Decatur public school system Friday, May 26, the day following the 69th annual high school commencement exercises; His retirement brought an end to a teaching career that encompassed three generations of students. Any Longer Tenure? At the time of his retirement, school officials checked with the state education office to see if these- bad. e-str bee® iB'M? diana who taught as long ds :wr. Parrish. The state office, however, has no such records, so it will never be known. It is, however a pretty good wager that no other teacher has devoted 61 yeafs. Yesterday on the day of his 94th birthday, Mr. Parrish, with a twinkle in his eyes, said “I believe I could have taught until 90.” He had decided to retire after his wife died in November of 1949. Mr. Parrish could rightly be known as “Mr. Decatur,” as probably no one in this city of a near-9,000 residents knows more of his fellow citizens. 11 finitely, no one has helped “raise” as many people in this city. As an example of his acquaintances, he knew this reporter QUICK QUIZ Q —How Tare an element u uranium? A—ln a million tons of the Earth’s crust, there are only four tons of uranium.

through his father, who was one of Mr. Parrish’s students in school. He knew the photographer, who is a former student of his. When he retired in 1950, Mr. Parrish said he always remembered the good times he enjoyed with his students, and could never remember anything bad about any of them. Born and .raised in his early years in the southwest corner of Washington township, Mr. Parrish began teaching in the Washington township schools in 1889, when about 19 years of age. He taught stye years in the various township schools, and then transferred to Monmouth, where he taught for a year in the ola Monmouth school building. In the fall of 1896, he came to Decatur and began teaching at the South Ward school where he was principal for “six or eight p years.” Mr. Parrish then transferred to the North Ward school and remained there until all the grades were sent to the Lincoln school building. In all. he taught some 54 years in the Decatur schools, all in the grades, as he never once taught in the high school. One can only . roughly estimate the number of students he taught in those entire 61 years. Another remarkable item is that Mr. Parrish estimated at the time of his ‘retirement that he had missed only “22 or 23 days from work due to illness” during his long and brilliant tenure. One-Room Schools He has seen quite a renovation in schools in this city, as when he first began all schools were the long - remembered one - room schools. Mr. Parrish chuckles slightly when he looks back on the four opportunities to enter the business field he turned down while teaching. All four businesses he had the chance to enter are now out of business! He was one of nine children, although two died at birth. Two brothers and four sisters grew up with him, and one of his brothers, Frank, has a son who is now judge of the Adams circuit court, Myles F. Parrish, and another, Richard K., who is a local doctor. He has two children of his own, Ron Parrish, who lives with his family at 503 W. Monroe St., just a “stone’s throw” from his father’s home, and Mrs. Miriam Hall, former city clerk-treasurer. He enjoys his grandchildren, and when talking Monday, he produced pictures of Larry Hall, in the Navy; another son of his daughter’s; and told of the recent marriage of one of "his son’s daughters'.' „ Same in 1950 This {Joints but the love he has for his grandchildren, as he was more interested in them than.any 94th birthday. The same thing was evident in 1950 when he rer tired, when he said “I have a f granddaughter who is in the sev- | enth grade and won an essay conR test. I think that is more importI ant than the fact that I am retfr- | ing.” . , I He members many things — re-
