especially including the taxpayers, the Works Board told Railways officials. But the City's poverty is positively grinding.
Board's Proposal
The Boards’ proposal is that the company pay a portion of the cost of resurfacing streets from which abandoned railways cartracks have ‘not been removed. Asphalt would be laid over the tracks. This, the Works Board contends,
Dr. Donald A. Smalley ... 6 feet 2 and a poet.
would save the company the cost! of track lifting and also provide a|
smooth surface for trackless trolleys “and busses, thus reducing the company’s maintenance on busses. ‘Conincidentally, it would help the , City, too. Railways President Charles P. Chase and James Tretton, general manager, pointed out the company now pays about $14,000 annual rental to the City for use of its streets. In addition, it lifts two miles of unused track a year by contract.
They’ll Think It Over
“Well,” said Leo F. Welch, Board vice president, “the City is so poor we're asking you to help us out.” He smiled as he said it. Mr. Chase smiled right back. “We're kind of poor, too, you know,” he said. “But we'll think about your proposition.”
I st Grounded Pilot
For the first time in fhe City’s “History, a Municipal Airport pilot has been grounded on the charge of violating the port's air traffic regulations. Max Emery, the Airport's Control Tower operator, said the pilot ran a stop light and failed to heed the] tower's instructions in taking off in| his plane. Works Board members upheld the tecommendation of Airport Superintendent I. J. Dienhart that the pilot be grounded one month from Oct. 1, when the alleged violation | occurred. : Citing the increased traffic at the
port, Board members said similar penalties ‘would be imposed on al pilots who fail to heed traffic regulations at the airport. Pilots penalized, however, are entitled to appeal to the Board, members ruled.
A Dirty Trick The City Council Chamber at City Hall is in an uproar, but this time it’s not the City Council's fault. It seems that the soap bowls have been disappearing from the washrooms up there and a number ©f people are suspecting each other.

The lack of soap has inconvenfenced a group of WPA workmen who are completing their. Police! Beat survey in the Council | Chamber. They called in the police to investigate. But despite the fact a number of persons have been guestioned, it's still no soap.

HAMMER CHAMP A POET AT HEART
‘He Teaches Tennyson, et al.,’ Atl. U. and You'd Better Not Kid Him.
By HARRY MORRISON
There's a perfectly good reason why a champion hammer-thrower should be a professor of Victorian poetry. Dr. Donald A. Smalley, who is | teaching poetry at Indiana University Extension, was Midwest A. A. U. champion with the hammer in| [1931 and 1932. | “After all,” he explained, “the | Victorian poets were a brawny lot. {Tennyson threw the crowbar and the could lift a pony with two hands.” Dr. Snialley also plays the violin and likes to take walks. He stands 16 feet 2 inches and weighs 230 {pounds. He has a jaw like Lou Gehrig's, with which he loves to enunciate the finer lines of Browning's “Sordello.”
|
Specialized in Browning
He specialized in Robert Browning for his doctor's thesis at IHarvard. He explained what Browning meant when he wrote “Sordello,” | which probably is a task only a hammer-thrower would attempt. | Not even Victorians could under-| stand what Browning was talking! tabout. Dr. Smalley got started in poetry {by having a poem published in the American Boy when he was 13. |Later he took second in a state contest, - competing from high
school. He says he likes athletics, but he took time off from poetry and literature in college only because he
| He rounded out his own collegiate experience. by working his way
{through school, winning three let-
ters in track at Indiana and gradluating with a Phi Beta Kappa key.
He's Pretty Big
Strangely enough, people generally don’t say very much to him | about his curiously opposed injevests In the first place, he's pretty Dig. “But what they couldn't quite get, In college was my interest in the violin,” he said. Dr. Smalley also played the piano, but he was very handy with his dukes. Very few people bothered the hammer-throw-er who had been heavyweight hoxing champion of his class. “The nicest thing about a reformed hammer-thrower teaching poetry,” beams Dr. Smalley, “is be-
red tie and letting your hair grow.” Hammer Has Changed
| Being a scholar, Dr. Smalley has ‘delved into the history of the ham{mer. It used to really be a ham{mer, but it broke too often. It has been, in turn, a weight on a shaft, a chain and a wire. When he was in Scotland, he stopped between trains for five minutes in a village. The stationmaster was the village champion. They use the old ball and shaft there, still. Dr. Smalley hefted the hammer, {took a couple of turns and threw it (past the village mark. Just then {the train pulled out and he never heard what the village champ hag to say about that.

i-lief food orders.
‘ROTARY TO INSTALL
Sanatorium board member, will be installed as president of the Indian-
tion, the Farm Ruleau, grocers and wholesalers. and members of the State Tax Board.
Receive Stamp Books
Under the plan, poor relief recipients would receive, instead of the present food orders issued directly to certain grocers, an order calling for a book of orange stamps. These stamps would be exchangeable for any food at any grocery willing to co-operate in the plan, At the same time, they would receive blue stamps, equal to half the amount of orange stamps called for by their orders. These blue stamps, redeemable by the Federal Government, could be exchanged at any grocery for any food on the Federal surplus commodity list. Surplus commodity foods now are distributed from warehouses, Similar arrangements would be made to permit WPA employees to, a limited number of the orange] stamps, at the same time receiving half as many blue stamps.
Money ,Is Handicap
The big “catch” in getting the: plan under way here is money. Iti would have to be on “pay as you| go” basis. The plan would be operated by a central operations office acting for all nine townships and this office would hand out the stamp books. But before the orange stamps could be issued. the, trustees would have to put up the money to redeem them. At present, grocers must wait from several weeks to several months! to get their money after filling re-!
The trustees would have to provide a revolving fund of about $75,000 so the central office could buy the orange stamps from the Government, which requires cash in advance, Suggest Bond Issue
Operation of the office would be directed by the Governor's Unemployment. Relief Commission. . Among the suggestions to be considered Wednesday is to issue bonds to pay relief obligations currently; owed by the trustees and use .the fall installment of taxes to purchase the stamps. Steps for operation of the stamp plan in Vermillion County were dis- | cussed at a meeting Saturday at Clinton. |
