PLANS WINTER DASHTO ROME Italian Flier Will Attempt Ocean Flight. By Times Soecial NEW YORK, Nov. I.—Ceasare Sabelli, former Italian war flier and now a real estate broker in New York, announced that he will attempt a non-stop flight from Roosevelt field to Rome in December, in a specially designed Bellanca monoplane. Sabelli plans to take three companions, one of whom, he said, /as a prominent American flier. The Italian ace sent the following cable to Premier Mussolini: “I consider it my duty to inform you first, as my Duce, that my trans-Atlantic flight in December will be with a type of Bellanca especially constructed for winter trips, thereby securing first place for Italy and Fascismo.” While Bellanca said that he had not commenced actual construction on the plane, he hoped to have it ready for its first trial flight by t>e third week in December. “I expect the plane to have a cruising radius of nearly 6,000 miles,” he declared, “and I believe that it will be able to stay in the air for sixty-four hours. We will fly a southern route, going by the Azores and thence to the northern coast of Africa to get the best'Winds and weather. Church Session Opens By Times Svecial ELKHART, Ind., Nov.

The women and men who call on Ihdianapolis folk, telling the story of the Community Fund and seeking YOUR subscription, receive no compensation for their efforts. For them there is neither pay day nor percentage. They GIVE their time freely and unstintingly, simply because THE WORK MUST BE DONE. And to long, tedious hours of canvass they add substantial gifts in actual cash. Indianapolis owe§ these good citizens a staggering sum —a bill so big that we never can quite hope to pay it. They are our Civic Samaritans, working without hope of reward or recompense; leaving home, office and workbench for the thankless task of collecting money. Let’s not add to their burden by dilly-dally and delay. Be ready when the canvasser calls! “GIVE your Answer!”
