STATE BEGINS SURVEY TO MARK HISTORIC SITES ©

Famed Landmarks Will Be| Designated Centers of Recreation.

A survey of historic sites along | state highways to find and mark | for recreational and educational purposes locations of historical interest, was under way today under the auspices of the State Highway Commission and the Indiana University Foundation. Ross F. Lockridge, representing the Foundation and organizer of the historic site revival movement, is in charge. The survey is expected to be completed in about four months.

Authorized by Law

The Legislature empowered the State Highway Commission in 1937

to acquire by grant or condemnation land not exceeding three acres | along state highways. These sites | must be furnished with sanitary | | conveniences, shelters, lights, | benches, tables, fireplaces and water supply, and kept “open at all rea- | sonable times to the public,” the Legislature ruled. | The survey was announced after | numerous conferences with leaders | in Government, education and civic organizations. T. A. Dicus, High-| way Commission chairman, has taken a lead in the movement to | promote public interest in Indiana | history and in the historic sites recital movement. Governor Townsend has approved the project.

4 Months for Survey

Mr. Lockridge said four months would be required for the survey. Historical data collected by Mr. | Lockridge and the State Writers’ Project will be used as source ma- | terials. Lockridge estimates that | | at least 200 significant sites will be | recognized. The State Highway Commission has not announced its plans, but it is believed steps to acquire ground, beautify and make sanitary for | recreational development will follow completion of the historic survey.

4 Stork Derby Winners Hold Off Salesmen

TORONTO, Ontario, May 31 (U. | P.).—~The four winning mothers in the $500,000 Toronto baby race sought refuge today from fast-talk-ing salesmen bubbling over with ideas as to how they should spend their $100,000 apiece. All planned to leave town for several days until the high-pressure area around their homes is lifted and the salesmen go away. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Timleck were the most closely besieged. Mrs. Timleck, one of the four cowinners in the “maternity marathon” established in the will of the late Charles Vance Millar, precipitated a deluge

{of real estate purveyors when she

said she and her husband intended to buy a farm. The other three winners—Mrs. Kathleen Ellen Nagle, Mrs. Annie Katherine Smith and Mrs. Isabel Mary MacLean. each of them, like Mrs. Timleck, had nine eligible babies in the 10 years after Mr. Millar's death — were similarly plagued.
