VOLUME 36—NUMBER 157

Right Here In INDIANA 1 By Gaylord Nelson j G't EESE are flying south, which, coupled with the sharp drop i___J in temperature the past two days, is a reminder that winter, although delayed, will play his annual sketch. Coal again becomes a slightly combustible and an entirely profane subject. Indiana is interested both In the consumption and production of coal. It is an important mineral resource of the State. For here are 200 mines. 3" < " miners—and an output In 11-.'! of 2”. 'inn.i .io tons of coalFuci is • il in this latitude. Ci-.il fuel. S th.e mining industry ir. Indi.ina should be stable and economic.'!::. >"imd. Hut it is not. It's sick—vergin'- on dissolution. The mines have been shut down more tb in half the time th.s year with consequent idleness and hard r the miners. Meanwhile :lic price of c. a! to the HoosDr consumer has not declined. And It won’t. | ,y \\ • ■ " .T.i.i coal. With heavy fr< ght < liar .•••< But fuel of higher oi-ility i h.m cal mined here. Miners can't make living wages miiiing r< al—and consumers must make very robust living wages to burn coal. What - the answer? It isn't in the ts sk. Y< : the Indiana coal mining Industry would like to know. Pound rpr-l ESIDHNTS in the vicinity It-c seek to close the city dog t pound at 44 |! <- Massachusetts Aw. The odor has been unbearable and the barking at night has prevented sleep. With menace to health and strain to nerves. s?o they complain. * People demand public sanitary measures. So a municipality must operate sewer systems, garbage disposal plants, and animal pounds. All enterprises ■ haracterlze 1 by ruddy aromas. As long as there are vagabond canines a city doer pound will be r.eeded. And it should be located convenient to the source of raw material. Which is the city. The Indianapol.s pound Is in the corporate limits —Just. The locality is sparsely settled. And its ability as a public nuisance is completely overshadowed by its proximity to railroad yards and roundhouse. I The scent from the detentli n home at times rtnj - obscure the sun and blanch the nerve fibers of neighboring residents. For an animal pound is not a rose garden. However, a strain to the olfactory nerve is rarely fatal. And probably the dull throbbing odor of canine waifs impounded is better than hydrophobia or ptomaine poisoning contracted from vagrant dogs allowed to run at large. Fountain EHE Ralph Hill Fountain was unveiled yesterday afternoon. Several thousand, including Mayor Shank and other civic notables, participated in the dedication Cos Fountain Square in spite of the chilling air. The bronze "Pioneer Family” above the gTar.ite basin looks upon the square where much early Indianapolis history was enacted. And Where for fifty years there has been some aort of fountain. So the new artistic memorial at

that spot Is a pleasing recognition of tradition. In ancient times fountains were for use, not beauty. They, formed the municipal water works. Around them centered communal life. To them came people to fill Jars with water and bacteria and ears with gossip. Aswr-e artistic impulses of the villagers found expression they became ornamental as well as useful. Now a few lengths of Iron pipe are laid underground and the fountain has lost its utilitarian purpose. But not its appeal to the sense of beauty. Nor its popularity as a suitable memorial. The feeling that prompts the bequest of such a memorial makes the gift esteemed beyond its practical nr artistic value. For it expresses the donor’s love for the community. As such bequests multiply a city acquires Individuality and personality. For they have back of them the spirit that makes a collection of buildings and streets a community. Cadets H* - “ UXDREDS of youths in natty uniforms gave a mar’ial aspect to the city Saturday. Headed by their hand they inarched and countermarched through downtown streets. They were cadets from CulveMilitary Academy—lndiana’s famous prep school —present to add color and enthusiasm to the foot hall game between their eleven and Butler freshmen. A confirmed pacifist shudders to see the awful spirit of militarism thus fostered in beardless youngsters. He shudders easily. Military training is not an unalloyed evil, as pale souls believe, it has its compensation. There is more to the training system the cadets undergo than giorificatio of war For. though 700 voung fellows made a big day of it, there was no rowdyism No cadet became involved in a dance hall brawl. Through training they acquire straight bodies and clean minds. They are taught neatness and self respect. They are subject to discipline Much talked about but rarely enforced elsewhere.
