CUSTODIANS ARE VERSATILE MEN
They’re Janitors, Plumbers And Painters, and Even Nurses, ‘Policemen.’
By EARL HOFF The jack-of-all-trades of the In-
.dianapolis school system is the cus-
todian. J Not only is he a janitor, but he must be an amateur plumber, painter, steam fitter and in a pinch stubstitute nurse and traffic police
an. He also fills a place as sort of a big uncle to the pupils. Of the 340 custodians in the public school system, William E. Mumaugh would be a good example.
* Every youngster at School 50 at 75 N. Belle Vieu Place knows him. To a handful of the pupils, Mr. Mumaugh is “Grandpa.” That's now a Washington High School freshman, called him when she attended School 50, and some of the other pupils followed suit.
Saturday for the Clocks
Mr. Mumaugh’s day begins at 7 a. m, and ends at 4 p. m. in the summer time and runs from 5 a. m. to 5 p. m. when school opens. He returns to school on Saturday mornings to bank the fire, sweep the halls and wind the classroom clocks.
In the winter, if snow falls, Mr. Mumaugh even works on Sundays, shoveling snow. If he doesn’t the neighbors .complain, Like most of his fellows, Mr. Mumaugh wasn’t always a school custodian. Before the depression he was a pattern maker. His assistant, W. L. Fuller, was a retail salesman, and the “swing man,” Merritt Mills, who alternates between Schools 30 and 50, was a musician. In the ranks of janitors at other schools are even a former certified public accountant and an ordained minister, : It keeps Mr. Mumaugh and his assistants on the run to service their school.

each day to keep the building warm. There are lawns to be mowed and shrubbery to be trimmed. The boiler room must be kept spotless, and halls scrubbed. An Excellent Santa Claus
When the school nurse is at another school, Mr. Mumaugh becomes a first aid man. When the corner policeman is ill he directs traffic before and after.school. Mr. Mumaugh is jolly and stocky of build. At Christmas time, after he decorates the annual tree, he .becomes an excellent Santa Claus. And at Halloween time he was kept busy carving pumpkins into jack-0’-lanterns. Summer: time is not vacation time for Mr. Mumaugh and his fellow workers. That's when all the 1loors in the building must be - scrubbed and refinished. It’s hot work. The walls also must be washed down and
the pupils are away. During cold snaps in the winter, Mr. Mumaugh sometimes has to stay all night at the school building to fire the boilers. It’s his. boast that his school has Hover had to close because of the cold.

County Yote Not Certified:
State Tabulation Slowed
The official tabulation of the vote cast for State officers in the Nov. 5 election was being held up today by delay of County Clerk Charles R. Ettinger in certifying the Marion County vote to the Secretary of State. The certifications of all but Scott and Marion Counties had been received yesterday. Scott’s certification was received by mail today. Mr. Ettinger promised that the Marion County figures would be in the hands of the Secretary of State by this afternoon. Meanwhile, the official canvassers in the Secretary of State's office marked time. id Late yesterday they began adding the totals for 90 counties and thus completed partial figures for U. S. Senator, Governor and Lietuenant Governor. : This morning, they totaled 90
counties’ vote for Secretary of State. |
They stopped work when August Mueller, former Secretary of State and fhe Governor's representafive in the tabulation, objected to a partial tabulation. Mr. Mueller, it was reported, said that an error might be made in adding the Marion and Scott County totals to the previous subtotals. The subtotals previously obtained by the canvassers, with the unofficial addition of the Marion and Scott County canvassing board figures, gave:

urday before the tabulation of the County vote was completed and the deputy clerks had been dismissed for the Saturday afternoon half holiday before it was recalled that the certification to the State had to be made.
The next day was Sunday, and, Mr. Ettinger said, “I hated to call the deputies back to work Monday, Armistice Day.”
BREMEN SUNK, DANES REPORT
Letters Sent to U. S. Say Torpedo Struck Nazi Liner in Kattegat.
SAN PRANCIZCO,- Nov. 13 (U. P.).—The German liner Bremen, queen of she Reich’s merchant marine, which dashed to freedom from New York at the outbreak of the war, is on the bottom of the Kattegat, four miles off the coast of northern Denmark, according to re-
ports received here today. i The editors of the Danish-Norwe-gian newspaper Bien reported receipt of a telegram stating the Breman apparently was sunk by a Britmember of
ish torpedo. A letter to a A Scandinavian colony written y relatives in Denmark, added details.
The letter said excursion trips to
the ship are available to the public for the equivalent of 25 cents, and that hundreds ride out to see the superstructure piercing up from the
22 sea.
The letter added that swimming had been abandoned in the Oresund between Denmark and Sweden, at the lower end of the Kattegat, because “hundreds of bodies are floating in the sound.” This tended to lend credence to
reports that the Bremen had been sunk with 15,000 troops aboard.
