Old Faithful Gets a Hand

Merry - Go - Round Remains America's Pastime.

By JAMES THRASHER

In this turbulent time when history is likely to be remade between editions, anything which smacks of permanence is in the nature of a boon. And it was in search of such a boon that I betook myself yesterday .to Riverside Park in general and the merry-go-round in particular. There is something extremely comforting about a merry-go-round. Except for a few minor changes, today’s models look no different from the youthful #€lights of our own and father’s and grandpa’s childhood. And the wheezing musical accompaniment sounds just the same, although Herschel Parker, the park’s manager, assures us that it isn’t. At Riverside they usually have five rolls of music; which are changed about once in two weeks. The patrons—and they aren't all youngsters, either—enjoy hearing new tunes as they spin around. But that’s practically the only innovation they'll stand for. Your dyed-in-the-wool rider is a person of conservative taste who makes an Old Guard look positively Leftist by comparison. Even in the matter of music, he won't go too far. None of these tunes that are here today and gone tomorrow. And no swing!

The merry-go-round as .a cultural institution, is some 400 years old. That is on the hesitant authority of Mr. Parker, who isn't really sure. Just where it picked its more concise and elegant name of carrousel is not car. The carrousel was a sort of mock tournament in Which the knights were divided up into teams. But, however, this me-

hand-carved horses still came from Germany. The ultimate effect of mechanized warfare - upon the wooden steed remains to be seen. It seems certain, however, that no matter what turn politics and diplomacy may take, it isn’t going to do much to the merry-go-round business. The carrousel is one device at Riverside which runs every afternoon and night throughout the season, no matter how the rest of the attractions are doing. Ferris wheels don’t pay operating costs except on Sundays, says Mr. Parker. And this year’s new “thriller” ‘may be forgotten next year for a newer ride. But the old merry-go-round keeps on rolling, getting nowhere in particular, but always managing to keep out of the

Saves an Epic

HOLLYWOOD, June 25 (U. P.).— A crisis passed today at the 20th Century Fox Studio, whose property men can paint shadows on walls, drop rain from, buckets and spin phony spider webs, but who can’t manufacture a cricket plague. The studio was well into its $2,500,000 epic, “Brigham Young’—to the part that calls for flocks of seagulls to swoop down on Salt Lake City and end a cricket plagug— when this shortcoming of the property men was discovered. The crickes had to be alive.

BOB BURNS WINS COURT SKIRMISH

HOLLYWOOD, June 25 (U. PJ). —A technicality has relieved ba-zooka-playing Bob Burns of a $70,000 suit charging love piracy and false imprisonntent. Daniel W.

The project has been undertaken by the Indiana Historical Records Survey to assist county officers in| locating their predecessors’ data! and to help persons seeking historical data. Sponsored by the Indiana Historical Bureau, the Survey is a WPA project. The job began in 1936 when the Indiana division of the nation-wide Historical Records Survey agreed to the task of preserving the records and making them available in city halls, courthouses, Federal and township trustee offices, churches and libraries. Eleven county inventories, including Marion County’s, have been published and distributed. contain a history of the county obtained from early commissioners’ records, an essay on the county governmental organization and an explanation of the present ' record housing. -
