Sum Would Be Be Used to|
Equip 2d Floor to Care For More Bed Patients.
The County Council will meet in - about two weeks to consider a requested appropriation of $13, 63.50 to -equp the second floor of the former Children’s Building at Sunnyside Sanitarium in order to accommodate 15 or 16 more bed patients. The request was submitted to the County Auditor last week by Dr. Frank Jennings, -sanitarium| super- - intendent. The sanitarium h ] been unable to equip and use this floor, formerly used for children, because its budget was cut from a requested $208, 000 to $178,466, Dr. iin sai In urging the request be Seay Dr. Jennings cited statistic ey ing that of 46 large Americ \ cities, Indianapolis’ tuberculosis death rate in 1937 was exceeded only by| nine of these cities. Indianapolis’ mortality rato) that year was 80, compared to 33 in St. Paul, Minn., 63 in Chicago ‘and 67 in Detroit.

Fred Techentin hasn't trimmed his fingernails for 35 years. He hasn't needed to. His work keeps them worn down. Fred is a member of that rare and fast-dying race of men who make fine show saddles and harness by hand. There are only two other firms in America like his establishment at 326 E. Washington St. One is in New York and the other in Chicago. And Fred, who is now 61, says he is the youngest person in the business. - What the owners of fine stables who want hand-made harness and saddles will do after he and the others are gone, he doesn’t know. They probably will have to import the equipment from England, where the hand-made harness business is still a great industry. “The kids today don’t want to work. They want to sit around on jobs where they can wear whitecollared shirts,” Fred bemoans. “They’re not interested ir learning to make things with their hands. These owners of fine horses who want good things are really going to be in a heck of a mess when we’re.gone.” Fred recalls that although he inherits the business from his father who had established it here in 1876, he had no easy time of it. He worked for $3 a week and then visited harness makers in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia where he studied under the masters there for nothing. His father, Henry, died in 1905; leaving the business to Fred and a younger brother, Harry, who died in 1924, The Techentins specialized in show harness. They never made
"ordinary work harness, and it is for | ago
that reason they are still in business today. The Techentin Co. is the only one left of the 15 harnessmaking firms that plied the trade here before the advent of the auto-

mobile. Factories make farm harness now. . Fred has made harness for most of the wealthy people in the U. S. today, including all in the Indianapolis area who keep stables. His biggest order was in 1918 from M. L. Diaz, the sugar king of Cuba, who wanted a complete harness and saddle outfit for his stable, with gold monograms. Fred ‘charged $15,000 for the job. Three years ago he made 58 sets of harness for a bakery at Grand Rapids, Mich., with white lines. If it weren't for his white hair, Fred could pass easily for a heavyweight wrestler today. He bulges with muscles and stands straight as an Indian, despite his years-over the harness bench. His outside activities include management of five double houses which he bought as an investment and the furninshing of his own home at 2911 Talbott Ave., in which every room is filled with furniture from a différent nation. His wife cares for that. He has also built a saddle room at his place of business, said to be the only one of its kind in the world. He keeps several fine imported English saddles in thé room and has animal skins on the floor and a rare old Egyptian lamp on a table. The hand-made saddle business is definitely on the upgrade, he says, with more people riding today than since the days of cowboys. It has increased about five times in five years. Fred has no son to leave his business to. He had a skilled young
man who seemed promising as a|
successor, but he died several years
“This business could make a good living some day for a skilled young man who would be willing ‘to work long and hard and for little pay at the start,” he says. :

MUTT AIDS CLAIM OKLAHOMA SUPPORT
McNutt - for - President campaign leaders today claimed they had the assurance of a large block of Oklahoma’s delegates to the National Democratic Convention. They based their assurance upon
the speech here Saturday of Congressman Jed Johnson (D. Okla.), who is chairman of the National Democratic Campaign Speakers’ Bureau. Speaking before the Indiana Women’s DemocratictClub at the Claypooi Hotel, Rep. Johnson indorsed the Presidential candidacy of Paul V, McNutt. “President Roosevelt will either carry the ball or call the signals. If he decides to call the signals there is no faster, open field runner in America than that tall, stalwart gentleman from Indiana, Paul V. McNutt.” He said the fact that President Roosevelt has appointed Mr. McNutt to head the vast social security agencies is “sufficient evidence that the President has the utmost confidence in Indiana’s former Gov-
lernor.”
BOILER THIEVES OBLIGE -
BOSTON, Jan. 22 (U. P). — Thieves stole a 500-pound boiler but the owner is glad of it. He told police the boiler was worth $2 in junk and he was wondering how to get rid of it anyway. The boiler had to be lifted over a high fence and then dragged through two vacant lots where it probably was loaded on a truck.
