PUPIL AWARDED HEROISM MEDAL FOR BRAVE ACT Richard Behmer Helps in Rescue of Drowning Man at Lake. Richard Behmer. 13. 2301 Park street, grade BA, School 45, was presented with the Ralston Purina Hero medal, awarded for deeds of heroism to young people under 21 years of age, at a ‘ Service ’ program of the junior high assembly of the school, recently. Dr. Stanley Coulter, dean emeritus of Purdue university, made the presentation of the decoration. A- 5:30 p. m., on Sept. 24. 1932, young Behmer and a companion, Delton Gebhart of Kokomo, who were staying with the former s parents at Culver, Ind., heard feeble cries for help from the center of Lake Maxinkuckee. They set out to the rescue in a rowboat equipped with an outboard motor and one quart of gas. A difficult and dangerous run to the center of th\ lake, where the water is sixty-two feet deep, brought them alongside two men clinging to a small boat. The boys managed to haul the two men into their boat. They tied the capsized craft to their own overloaded vessel and made for shore. The two men who were rescued witnessed affidavits testifying to the perils the youths had braved. The Ralston Purina company designated Richard Behmer as a recipient for their medal. The junior high assembly program Included a general program on “Service,” featured by many of the pupils. The ceremonies were opened with “The Lonely Pme,” a Moravian folk song. Marylee Porter followed with “Service,” a poem. Harry Lambertus talked on "Service to Country” as exemplified by Nathan Hale. “Service Among the Sick and Wounded” w r as the subject of an impersonation of Florence Nightingale by Betty Berry.

Orchard School Pupils Are Donated Old Truck

Children Will Use Tractor to Plow Garden and Shovel Snow. Children of the Orchard school, 610 West Forty-second street, at last have satisfied an ambition of long standing. They have at their' disposal an old beer truck which has been converted into a tractor with a maximum speed of four miles an hour. The vehicle w’as presented by a patron of the school, Mrs. Donald' Jameson. For some two years, the pupils I have wanted an automobile, but always many apparently insoluble j obstacles arose. They had no car. j There were troubles about license! plates, the age of the would-be drivers, and the safety of the project interfered. Parents had forgotten about the entire matter when the spirit of the children was rewarded by an idea of Philip Sweet, instructor of crafts. He suggested that an old Ford truck be purchased, todn down, and converted into a tractor with a maximum speed for safety. The resulting conveyance would help plow in the school garden and shovel snow in the school yard, while still, without need for a license, affording safe play for the children. At this juncture Mrs. Jameson swept the last obstacle away by her donation. Today all that remains of the erstwhile beer truck is frame, motor and front wheels. Some children who have been interested in the project are: Susannah Jameson, Jane Johnston, Anne Johnston, Eleanor Appel, Nancy Goodrich, Martha Lois Adams, Mary Johnson, Roy Miller, Billy Fisher, Susanne Littel, Fenton Jameson, Nancy Rodeker, Martha Scott, Ava Davis, Tom Wainwright, Smiley Chambers, Sandy McDermott, Johnnie Holliday, Jerry Smith, Billy Failey, Arthur Gipe, Charles Breunig.

MUSEUM SHOWS EXHIBIT GROUP OF DINOSAURS Habitat Setting Displayed of ‘Tyrant Lizard’ and Tracodon. An important chapter in the history of the world is depicted in the dinosaur habitat group, which is shown at the Children's museum Indianapolis, 1150 North Meridian street. This three-dimension setting vividly tells a fascinating story, that is found only in the great stone book, whose pages are strata upon strata of rock recording an indisputable account of the geological history of the earth. Six of the most interesting of the “terrible lizards,” as the word dinosaur means literally, are shown in authentic proportions. There is the tracodon or duck-billed dinosaur which stood twelve feet high; the diplodocus, until recently believed to be the mightiest of them all; the brontosaurus or thunder lizard, a giant which weighed thirty-five tons; the stegosaurus, hump-backed and armored; the triceratops which weighed ten tons, and the tyrannosaurus or tyant lizard. Concerning this monster, the paleontologists of the American Muj seum of Natural History report: “It I stood eighteen feet high, with talons fit to hold an ax, and double-edged, dagger-like teeth two and three inches long, set in a mouth with a yard-wide gape. “Seemingly nothing living could have withstood the attack of such a monster; and yet he, too, played his part and succumbed to the slow and insidious attacks of a changing climate and gradually progressing world of life.”
