One of the six immortal American songs was inspired by the girlwife of Thomas Paine Westendorf, Plainfield, when she grew homesick for her native New York. His sympathy for her inspired him to write in 1873 “I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen.” Westendorf is. one of the Indiana composers whose life is to be discussed by Mrs. Rudolph F. Grosskopf today in the musical and poetry program.

Silk Stockings Treasured

Silk stockings were treasured possessions of the old-fashioned girl. One clocked pair of fine French silk, on display, has been handed down from generation to generation for 130 years. Many relics possessed by men at that time haye~been preserved and are on exhibit. A place for everything and everything in dts place was one of the old household rules. To help grandpa remember where he put his watch, beaded watch holders were made to hang on the wall. Such a holder, made in the form of a mans boot, is one of the oddities of the exhibit. A well-pre= served crucifix, hand carved from wood, was made in 1801.

Many other contributions which Indianapolis and state club members have made to this show, the first “cultural project of the year, have their origin before our grandparents’ day. Pencil Hand-Made

Two hundred years ago even a pencil had to be made by hand. Our forefathers’ ingenuity is exemplified by a pencil of twisted lead, orf display. It was made by placing melted lead in a floor crack, twisting it like tafly and, when hard, breaking it off in short pieces. °

Mrs. S. C. Bitter’'s collection of original snuff boxes of cloissone, porcelain and carved ivory dates back to 1640. A pair of iron-rimmed spectacles, entered by Mrs. Henry Knudsen, were made and used 300 years ago. Knitters of long ago had more vanity about their néedles than modern “purlers” who are apt to grab anything in their frenzy for a new sweater. Initialed silver guards for knitting needles were the standards of wealth two centuries ago. The more affluent the person the more ornate were the Knitting needle and guard. A monogrammed silver set is part of the exhibit which has come down through the years. Other sets have initials studded with diamonds and rubies.

Created in form by Miss Clapp, the designs were sent to Persia where the statuettes were made. Streamlined baskets are works of art when made by the Arizona Indians. Robert Lingle’s collection of

wandered into some

tunnel,

At first you are skittish. Shots crack. You pass an early arrival crouched or the ground aiming his rifle "at a 50-foot target. There's a bang. Your ears ring until Dr. Charles Pfafflin, the president, offers you a wad of cotton to deaden the noise. Then you begin shouting as you carry on conversations.

Emphasisis on Safety

Dr. Pfaffiin looks very much the sportsman in his plaid flannel shirt and his. casual shooting suit. He tells you first that the club puts emphasis on safety. “You notice that the guns always are pointed toward the targets when being loaded or cocked. A man must know all the fundamentals of shooting and safety before he can handle firearms here,” he said. “He always goes on the theory that the gun is loaded, and therefore never points it carelessly toward a bystander. He only loads his gun on the firing line.”

Experts Possess Awards

Niven Stall was on the range. He was choosing a gun from his black satchel. He loaded the one he selected and aimed it deliberately. He made a good record. Dr. Pfafflin remarked that Mr. Stall had won the expert medal three times in Army competition at Ft. Benjarain Harrison. And Mr. Stall remarked that Dr. Pfafflin had won the same awards. Mr. Stall collects firearms. He has a dozen pistols and eight rifles which he uses on the range and on hunting trips. He offered me a pistol. “Try a shot,” he said. I remembered the time I had leveled a gun at a clay pigeon on a skeet range and that my first shot shattered the flying target to bits.

Memory Aids Nerves

That memory gave me nerve for the moment. But I lost confidence and my hand shook tremulously when I aimed. The sight was unsteady and my hand jerked unexpectedly yas I pulled the trigger. I was startled to discover the bullet had. clipped the snap holding the target in place. At least I had hit the target, and I regained my composure. I tried and tried again with no better result—they couldn't even keep track of the shots. We turned to watching the members~ practice. They meet at the

range on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Maj. J. K. Boles, an internation ally known marksman, and his son Jack practiced at the range when the Major was stationed at Fort Harrison: He and his son, now at West Point were opponents. The one who lost cleaned the guns.

G-Men Use Range

Federal agents visit the range to practice. Deputy sheriffs came, too, before a range was built in the County Jail. ; Col. William Guy Wall, William B. Burford Jr., A. C. Bradley, Walter Evans and Neil Grider are life members. Dr. Pfafflin is convinced that everyone should know how to hane dle a gun safely. He escorted me through the winding walk to the door and -invited me back to learn how to shoot. “Perhaps I will,” I shouted back, My voice boomed out in the night air, I remembered the cotton.
