MONDAY, NOV. 7, 1958 City Council Faces Heated Session on Track Raising Plan

South Side Committee Will Seek Inclusion of Shelby St. in Elevation Project; Hope for Short PreElection Session Dampened. Possibility that tonight’s meeting of City Council may develop into ‘uch more. than the “sweet and short” election-eve session expected

-as seen today in the announcement that members of the South Side ‘I'rack Elevation Committee would attend.

It had been agreed generally among City Hall observers that controversial matters and subjects requiring lengthy debate probably would be avoided. Today’s announcement by E. H. Wischmeyer, chairman of the South Side committee, indicated, however, that some debate over the entire question of elevation might be unavoidable. Committee representatives, Mr. Wischmeyer said, would seek to ask Council to find some way of including Shelby St. in elevation plans by further financing. Shelby St. is not included in the present elevation plans. Bond Issue Up

The question will be brought up as the council hears a first reading of an ordinance providing for a bond issue of $318,500 to finance the City’s share of the total cost of the one-million-dollar project, it was understood. A first reading is required tonight in order to insure final enactment of the ordinance in time to fulfill terms of an agreement with PWA, which is to pay 45 per cent of the total cost, stipulating that work must begin by Dec. 7. Mr. Wischmeyer said it is not the intention of the South Side committee to prevent progress of the elevation plans at the present time, but he added that the committee did not intend to see Shelby St. “squeézed out” of an eventual share in the elevation if it was possible to include it in present plans.

Additional Bonds Sought

He said that, in view of the fact that the ordinance providing the City’s share already has been drawn up, the committee will not seek to have it thrown out, but that it will attempt to have Council agree to an additional bond issue in the future if it becomes apparent that inciusion of Shelby St. will require additional funds. “We are all for as much elevation as possible on the South Side,” Mr. Wischmeyer said, “but we aren’t going to stand by and see Shelby St. left out.” It was problematical what Council would agree to in the way of further financing at tonight’s meeting, and also as to what steps the South Side committee would take if no agreement is reached.

Resentment Reported

The committee made its request last Monday at a meeting of of Works Board. At that time, Mr. Wischmeyer told the board that there was a feeling of resentment among citizens of the Shelby St. District at being left out of present elevation plans. The board directed Henry B. Steeg, City engineer, to meet with committee representatives, last Friday. Mr. Steeg was unable to hold the meeting, due to illness. In the meantime, the City was prepared to go ahead with the elevation, according to Michael B. Reddington, City attorney, regardless of whether the Indianapolis Union Railway decided to abandon the project. Until this time, the railroad has given no indication that it approves either the construction plans of the City or either of the two alternate methods of financing the railroad's share submitted to the railroad by the City.

The City previously has contend-|

ed that whether the elevation proceeded or was abandoned rested entirely with the railroad. Mr. Reddington’s statement, made Friday after the Works Board approved the ordinance providing for the City bond issue, indicated a complete about-face on the part of the City. Mr. Reddington said he had been told by Mr. Steeg that the City planned to move ahead with the project, make a ‘technical’ start by Dec. 7 and wait for railroad action. Such action, Mr. Reddington said, “might consist of legal proceedings against the City, such as an injunction to stop work if the railroad doesn’t want us to proceed.”

YOUTH REACHES DYING MOTHER

Hunter Completes 5000-Mile Dash From Alaska To Chicago.

ization and unaware that his mother was dying. Today he was at her bedside, a fulfillment of her wish to see him once more before she died. He left home last April and went by the way of New Orleans and: California to King Cove, Alaska. He started into the wilderness to hunt Caribou six weeks ago, about the time his mother, Mrs. Alice Walther, 64, became seriously ill from a heart ailment and complications. Her physician said her death might be only a matter of days. She said she would be reconciled to death if she could see her son and hear his voice again. Her daughter, Viola, 28, was in despair. She did not know where Henry had established camp and, even if she had known, she had little chance to reach him. As her last hope, she appealed to amateur radio operators. For five nights a score of “hams” sent messages crackling northward. Alaskan operators and the Army Signal Corps rebroadcast the messages. Finally, on the sixth night, Robert Gould, operator at King Cove, picked up the message. He found Mr. Walters as he was approaching King Cove for supplies. On Oct. 31, an Alaskan patrol boat slipped into King Cove, picked up Walther and started for Seward, Alaska, on the first leg of a 5000mile trip.

DRESSES DESIGNED TO DANCE RHYTHMS

ITHACA, N. Y.,, Nov. 7 (U. P).— Styles soon may be swayed by rhythm, according to the latest fashion “note.” Students at the New York State College of Home Economics, by listening to various dance rhythms, designed dresses and clothing accessories as suggested by the music. Pauline W. Fuller, instructor of the unique course, said that each person is a certain rhythm type. The numerous dance rhythms, she added, illustrated different personalities. “If you're calm, poised and graceful, you're the waltz type,” she explained, “and your clothes should express the same rhythm in both color and line.” An individual's rhythm, according to Miss Fuller, is determined by such characteristics as facial expressions, voice, posture and gestures.

HUSKERS RAISE CANE DILLER, Neb. Nov. 7 (U. P.).— Prof. H. J.

Moon to Fade

Eclipse Scheduled to Begin at 3:45 P. M.; Clouds Likely.

By JOE COLLIER

F you are good at moons, you will be able to set your watch this afternoon through a close observation of when the moon enters or leaves the shadow of the earth, provided the skies are clear enough for you to see anything but a curtain of clouds. This eclipse is the first one in which the moon has apparently had some consideration for those who wish to watch her cut up— the recent other eclipses having occurred at thoroughly inconvenient hours. Through some arrangement with witches and -interplanetary black magic, astronomers already know when the moon will enter and leave various phases of the eclipse. They say the eclipse will begin at 3:45 p. m.; that totality will occur at 5:05 p. m,, and that the moon will remain in the penumbra until T:14Dp. m. Members of the Indiana Astronomical Society held skull practice yesterday on the eclipse and today were all ready for the expected moon antics. They have agreed to check the moon with their watches, or their watches with the moon, note on a postcard how the thing comes out, and mail the postcard to Emsley Johnson, president.

” s ®

HE Columbia Broadcast System will describe the eclipse. Mr. Johnson said the eclipse, if it is visible at all, will be there for all to see without telescopes or any other instrument. On the other hand, the Weather Bureau has forecast rain, which nearly always means clouds, which would mean the eclipse itself would be eclipsed, which is a sort of astral billiard.

GOOD HUMOR KEY TO LONG LIFE, IS CLAIM

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 7 (U. P.).— Mrs. Adam de Pomorski, who lived about half of her 90 years searching for peace, prescribes “good humor at all times” for longevity. Her tongue and her body are about as spry as they were when she and her husband, a count, fled from the Polish revolution 48 years ago. She was born in Oslo, Norway, married in Poland and expects to die, - “some day,”. in the Unites States. Mrs. Pomorski hasn’t been ill for the last 20 years—she believes because of strict adherence to a private religious code. The basis of that code is to keep in good humor.

hostilities last year.

“It’s almost a guarantee for long life and happiness,” she said.

THRIFT TAUGHT BY CLASSROOM BANKS

CLEVELAND, Nov, 7 (U, P).— Third grade children have their own banks in the Cleveland public

2 school system.

The children learn thrift habits by undertaking all the operations of the classroom banks. Pupils, behind a series of desks, act as tellers. A young depositor must have 25 cents and a card signed by his parents to open an account. Any amount can be deposited, but most of the deposits are nickels and dimes. The children are taught what a certain amount of money Will buy and to judge for themselves what article, or articles, will give them the most value for their money under different. -circumstances. For instance, they learn that a dime will buy a ‘quart of milk, a loaf of bread, a pocket handkerchief, a toy, a book, or two ice cream cones.
