Seven Clocks Aid Aged Irvington Woman in ‘Keeping Track’ of Absent Children

Set at Centra 1 . Daylight. Eastern. Mountain and Moscow Time. Although seven clocks are available to furnish the tim of day in the home of Mrs. tfr-'her Sablosky. 90-year-old Irvington woman, the : ards on the different timepiece' •ary from two minutes to nine hours. E\ er s.nce Mrs Sabioskv emigrated from Russia twenty-eight vears ago she has made use of clocks as a means of keeping track of her sevn children. Set at, various hours the clocks serve to remind her of sons and daughters in different parts of this enun’rv and in Europe Three of the clocks on 'h? mantelpiece are set within "lie same hour that serves as ren'ra! standard time, though members of Mrs Sablosky* family agree that the to of timepieces differ from one another and from Indianapolis w: sr watch time ” Help to Remember Children The tickings of these three clocks serve as tokens of remembrance of Mrs. Abe .Schwartz a daughter with whom Mrs. Sablosky makes her home at 13 South Butler avenue; of Mrs Libby Simon, another daughter living at 1936 Bellfontaine vi ' ft; and a son. Mike Sablosky. 812 Massachusetts avenue. A fourth clock, set at eastern daylight savings time, denotes a son in New York City. A son in Tampa. Fla . is remembered with a large Seth Thomas that gives the time in the eastern standard zone Another clock shows the hour for a son in El Paso. Tpx\, and is set on the mountain time standard. In Memory of Daughter Ticking away on the dresser in Mrs. Sablosky’s bedroom is the seventh clock. Her relatives say that she gazes as it hopefully every day. Set nine hours earlier than Indianapolis time, it is in memory of a daughter who friends believe was kdlcd in Novgorod. Russia, during the revolution in 1917, when the czansi regime was overthrown. Although no word has been received from her in sixteen years. Mrs Sablosky continues to keep a clock running for her daughter set at Moscow time She never has given

up hope that word will come from her some day. Mrs. Sabioskv was born in Bujnowicze, in western Russia, near the Polish border, in 1839 Her father was a rabbi in the Orthodox Jewish church. Among the prized possessions of Mrs. Sablosky are a number of copper pots and ke’tls. all hand-made and beaten into shape with a hammer. They were preserved to nor by an uncle, a kettl< maker who jerved in the Russian army during .he Crimean war. Legend holds that Czar Nicholas I was served from these receptacles during a visit to h.s troops* before they departed for Sebastopol on the Black sea to be defeated by the British. These ropper utensils were g to Mrs. Sablosky as a wedding present in 1857. Due to the limit placeo on personal possessions to be carried bv emigrants, it was necessary for her to sew them in her mattress when she brought them to this country. Because of the revolutionary trouble in Russia following the RussoJapanese war, Mrs. Sablosky left her home to come to the United States in 1905. After landing at Ellis island she came directly to Indianapolis. The varying hour-hands cause no

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

little trouble In the household, declares Abe Schwartz son-in-law of Mrs. Sablosky. ‘ When I look to see what time it is. I have to stop and figure whether it is New York City time or Ei Paso time that I am looking at. and then I must translate that into terms of Indianapolis time.” says Schwartz. ‘Even the clocks that are supposed to give central standard time fail to agree with one another.” h; states. "With ‘Bubby’ < affectionate Jewish term for grandmother', taking care of all the clocks in the house. I get lo work a half hour early one morning and oversleep the next ” He admitted, however, that the task of keeping seven clocks wound and set daily is a considerable job. Four large window clocks in the business block at Butler and East Washington streets seem to furnish Mrs. Sablosky most of her information concerning the time of day. " Bubby’ will take a clock with her each morning and go to the drug store window to get the time. Then she will hurry to the barber shop, the dry cleaners, and to the grocery store to further verify the time from their windows before taking the time-piece home to set it,” relates Mr. Schwartz. ‘‘By the time she makes the

rounds of her clock*, the ones at home usually are off several minutes from the time Buddy’ has obtained at the corner.” Schwartz sighed as hp confessed. "We probably are the most timesupplied family in Indianapolis, but we never know whether we are early or late. One thing is certain, we have plenty of time on our hands.” PAROLED FIREBUG MAY BE SENT TO PRISON Feeney lo Take Action if Kidnaping Report Proves True.

ARM IN ROLLER. BOY GRINS AS RESCOERS TOIL Smiles Cheerfully While Men Work 45 Minutes to Free Him. Alfred Miller. 16. of 1813 Lambert street, grmned just cheerfully at fellow employes who called on him at home today as he smiled stoically Thursday when rescuers worked for forty-five minutes to release his arm. caught in a roller. When police and firemen were called to the Dnriv bakery at 1704 West Morris street. Thursday, they found Miller, with his left aim caught in the steel grip of one of the baking machine rollers. Hir. hand and arm were crushed and finger bones broken. The machine had nipped h:s finger tips and before his right hand could reach a switch to stop the machine, his left hand had been drawn through the rollers almost to the elbow.* Miller grinned—a set. determined smile—-as rescuers led by Sergeant Frank Owen worked frantically to release his arm. While officers of the police accident prevention bureau attempted to reverse the machine others armed with crowbars worked to lessen the pressure of the i rollers. The boy still grinned when rescuers succeeded in freeing his arm after forty-five minutes. His stoical smile changed to one of joy when he was told by doctors today that it would not be necessary to amputate the arm. REVIEW TO BE HELD Fifth Corps Area Commander to Make Inspection at Post.
