When the Rev. Edward A. Daum, former Indianapolis minister, and his family go on a vacation they forget all about houses, hotels and modem knicknacks, even when they return to a city where they have many friends. Mr. Daum, who from 1927 to 1929 was pastor cf the First United Presbyterian church here, are in the city this week visiting old acquaintances. But their home during their stay Is their tent at the municipal tourist camp on White river neat Em-

richsville. They prefer to “camp out.” It’s a great picnic for Mr. Daum and the whole family, who now live in Pittsburgh, Pa. They motored from Pittsburgh.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SETTLEMENT IS I BUSIEST GROUND Children Always Rate High in Games. American Settlement playground, west of Maryland and California streets, hidden down among the buildings of KingaiTs Packing Company, is one of the unusual grounds of the city. Youngsters there always have one of the best ball teams in town, one of the best track teams. Their annual pageant in August is outstanding. Every one to whom America is an adopted country, dresses in native costume. Other playgrounds could follow the ideas of the girls of the American Settlement, who have organized a sewing club. A dozen girls from 10 to 18 meet every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon to make aprons, scarfs and various embroidered knicknacks. Miss Vera Popcheft is leader of the group. “They don’t need much* teaching, j They know a lot about sewing,” she says. Miss Popcheff is a student at Butler university. She teaches the daily vacation Bible school on the settlement grounds. Members of her group are Mary Vulk, Eleanor Vulca, Luba Popcheff, • Daisy Popcheff, Macie Stoycheff, Jennie Lalu, Phoebe Poshie, Helen Pappas, Victoria Marschelescu, j Helen George and Leona Vudis. j Each girl plans to start making a large quilt in the near future.
