STORM SEWERS, BRIDGE SOUGHT FOR WARFLEIGH
Improved Bus Service Also On Civic League’s 40-41 Agenda.
Storm sewers, a new bridge on Centra] Ave. over the canal and improved bus service are on the Warfleigh Civic - League's agenda for 1940-41. The group opened its season last night at the American Legion Hall, 64th St. and College Ave. The storms sewers are the “big objective” for this year, according to Stephen A. Clinehens, league president. Sewers’ have been the one big headache in the Warfleigh district
since the community began to enlarge more than 10 years ago.
No Storm Sewers Now
Sanitary sewers, fought for by the league for several years, will be completed in two weeks. However, there are ho storm sewers and surface drainage is poor. Walks, streets and lawns often are flooded for hours after a rain. : The league plans to confer with City government officials in an attempt to get immediate action. The “old-style” bridge over the Canal on Central Ave., with its narrow, high steel sides, forms a bottleneck and is a constant worry to parents - and school officials at School 84.
WPA Promises Help
A new one is planned and the WPA has assured the league that the Federal Government will bear 75 per cent of the cost if the City will provide the remainder. Residents of the area also will goon ask the Indianapolis Street Railways to extend the Illinois St. bus, which now stops at the Canal. There is no bus or streetcar avail-| able to many of the residents at | present, according to Mr. Clinehens.

P.).—| James Roosevelt, the President's] first son, now a motion picture pro-| ducer, is subject to call for active] duty under the Navy's mobilization | of its naval and marine organized | .and fleet reserves. ! Mr. Roosevelt is a captain in the; organized marine reserve corps in| the 1lith district. Another of the President's sons, Franklin D. Jr, is an ensign in the |volunteer naval reserve, which has |not been ordered to mobilize. | The mobilization order, for naval and marine reserves affects 28,000 men, who are expected to be notified of their assignments and reporting dates soon.

Dr. John W. Ferree ... he “changed horses.”
FERREE BEGAN AS BANK CLERK
But Business Turned ‘Sour,’ So. He Began Study Of Medicine.
Dr. John W. Ferree, the new head of the State Health Board, started out to be a businessman. After graduation from his hometown high school at Marion, he attended Wabash College for one year and then went to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received an A. B. degree in 1925. : The future looked bright. He went to work in the corporate trust division of the Chase National Bank in New York City as a clerk.
Business Turned Sour
But the business world soon turned sour for him. He had always been interested in “service work’— doing something for the other fellow. He got a chance to come back to his home town of Marion as a man-
thought that job would be more to his liking, so he left New York City. But business in a small town, wasn't any better. So in 1928, he “changed horses.” He enrolled in the Indiana University medical schools and liked it. He graduated in 1932 and served his interneship at the Harper Hospital in Detroit.
At Bluffton 15 Months
He then served a year of residency each at the Passavant Hospital in Chicago, and the Evanston Hospital, Evanston, Ill. He practiced for 15 months at Bluffton, Ind, and in 1936 was named head of the Bureau of Local Health Administratoin of the State Health Board. He has held this position since, except for a year’s leave of absence when he took a degree in public health at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

RIGHT TO ENLIST DEMANDED FOR STATE NEGROES
Pastors Authorize Committee to Call on Townsend With Problem.
“It looks as if the Negro is going to have to fight to get to fight for his country,” Dr. Robert Skelton, told laymen and ministers in an Interdenominational Planning Conference last night in the Y. M. C. A. The conference was sponsored by the Indianapolis Church Federation. Dr. Skelton, commander of American Legion Post 249 and Barnes Methodist -Church pastor, said that] Negroes are patriotic and eager to
department for which they are best fitted. According to present arrangements they will be drafted into the infantry, but may exercise no choice
said, Committee to Be Named The Council authorized Dwight ‘Ritter, race relations chairman, to appoint a committee to call on Governor Townsend and request that provision be made here for the enlistment of Negroes in the armed forces. A pan-American center in Indianapolis, to promote cultural understanding and good will between the American nations, was proposed by Mrs. Frank H. Steightoff, international good will chairman. A committee is to study the possibility of such a center. About 12,000,000 Christian martyrs are demanded by people who urge the independence of the Philippine Islands, the Rev. J. C. W. Linsley, former vicar to the Episcopal Cathedral in Manila, said.
Speaks at Dinner
The Rev, Mr. Linsley spoke at the dinner following the business session in the place of the Rt. Rev. Richard Ainslee Kirchhoffer, bishop of the diocese of Indianapolis, who was out of town. The Rev. Mr. Linsley is vicar of All Saints Cathedral, He said that if the United States gets out of the Philippines, another j nation, perhaps violently anti-Chris-tian, will come in. The 12,000,000 Filipinos are related to us religiously, he said, and asked: “Why let others pick on our relations?” Several ‘pastors reported spontaneously that bingo still is being played in parts of Indianapolis, in spite of work done to stamp it out by the Public Relations Committee, as reported by the Rev. J. Arnold Clegg, chairman.
‘Labor Dinner Planned
A dinner for labor groups, executives and clergymen, will be held Nov. 13, during the week of the national Christian Mission visitation. The dinner is planned to illustrate the idea that Christian principles should be adapted to industry. New radio programs, including Bible stories for children, morning talks on the Sunday School lesson, and morning and evening prayer for this winter were outlined by the Rev. Henry E. Chace, radio chairman. : Dr. Howard J. Baumgartel, Church Federation executive secretary, and Henry Banner, Federation president, presided, and Dr, Gou O. Carpenter led devotions.
