BISHOP RITTER ASKS ROSARY RECITATIONS

- The Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter, bishop of the Diocese of Indianap“olis, has addressed a letter to mem- , bers of ‘the diocese requesting daily rosary devotions during October and daily communion until the end

of the war, October is called the month of the rosary. Bishop Ritter’s request for the special devotions is part of a movement sponsored throughout the world by His Holiness Pope Pius XII. Bishop Ritter asks that each person pray .. . “that God’s blessing and help may be given to our armed forces, that his wisdom may ‘guide our president and congress and that his mercy and love may descend upon all of us.” Tomorrow will be celebrated as Confraternity of Christian Doctrine Sunday in the Indianapolis diocese by order of Bishop Ritter." The day marks the opening of the fall program of religious discussion groups and instructions for Catholic children enrolled in the public schools.

By ARTHUR WRIGHT

The man who comes around to check your electric meter walks 123% miles in an average working day. So says the official pedometer.

The same pedometer which revealed that Paul Waggoner, mailman, coyers 15% miles a day, and that William Jones, city policeman, “pounds” a 123% -mile beat. It was Doris P. MeMurfry, of the Indianapolis Power & Light Co, who was “clocked” in the interest of motorists about; to increase their walking distances, come gasoline rationing. Don’t think that just because the meter man comes to your house only once a month he rests his tired feet the other days. He covers a different route each day—always on his feet.

Take These Tips

Eighteen years on this schedule has qualified Mr. McMurtry to offer these valuable tips to walkers: Don’t wear the same shoes two days in & row—they’ll last longer and be more comfortable if alternated. Wear rubber heels for long walking—leather heels “jar”. the nervous system. * Remove walking shoes at the end of the day—give feet that “fresh start” feeling. Bathe feet in cold water in summer (heat it these chilly days) to refresh them at the end of the day. Take an average stride—a short stride is tiring. Mr. McMurtry wears out three pairs of shoes a year—and on. those shoes he attaches processed soles.

400 Stops Some Days

“Ordinary leather soles would last me about thrée weeks,” he figured. Perhaps it’s because the meter man’s shoes get “hot” under the rapid schedule of reading a meter each 1% minutes. On the day we

meters. He says some days he makes 400 stops. “It’s not the number of meters that increases the mileage,” he revealed, “because some routes have the meters closer together.” The meter man must maintain his schedule despite the ‘good neighbor” sidelights of his business. He sometimes sets out the ‘ashes for the housewife whose husband forgot the chore that morning . . . or mails a letter at the corner mailbox . . . or even delivers an order to the grocer.

Helps Injured, Todo

Mr. McMurtry was called upon one day to carry a woman upstairs to bed. She had a broken hip. “We '. don’t mind those little chores,” he admitted, “for our company wants its men to give our consumers every co-operation possible.” One type of consumer was taken

He and another M. P. were trying to-keep the boys in line but whenever they made a correction, the officers stepped in and flashed their bars on them.

“Ill Call the Major”

Lieut. Stewaft promised he'd look into it and ‘went on, “T’ll call the major down there tomorrow. I'd rather do, it that way than have an argument with the officers in front of a bunch of enlisted men,” the lieutenant told me so the others couldn’t hear. “That’s just not good business.” Next was a call to W, Market st. uptown. The call was put in by a city policeman and just what his complaint was, the military police never seemed quite able to, figure out. After a few minutes of vague conversation, we resumed patroling. A Tavern in the Town At 11:47 o'clock, came another call: “Go to the 400 block, W. Wash= ington st.” - It was a tavern and the offender was a soldier in an argument with a civilian. “Any time he tries to tell me how to wear my uniform, he’s gonna—" “Now, just try quieting down a minute,” a, corporal suggested. The man did. But not for long. “Take me to the city jail,” the soldier commanded. “Whenever they try to do that to me, bud, they...”

Lieut. Stewart an amused look on his face. hat, “Sir, I'm sorry,” said’ the. offender, “I, respect all officers. Yes sir.” The city furnishes Ft. Harrison with a cell bléck at city jail and the soldier was ushered inside. “He'll probably get seven days confinement to quarters, regulation 104,” the lieutenant explained.

A Tearful Corporal At the jail was a corporal from Atterbury who freely, confessed to over<stimulating himself," put who nevertheless wishéd to be freed in time to catch the 1 a. m. bus to camp. “They'll bust me | it they know

about this,” he pleaded, with a trace of a tear in his eye. “Well, corporal, that's out of my hands. Atterbury’ll ‘handle that the : lieutenant said, . patiently. “But, sir, I just got to get back." “Now, theyll get’ you back and I'll. bet you'll say in the morning they. treated you all right.” Outside; the lieutenant predicted: “He’ll not get busted (reduced in rank) unless he’s a regular offende er. It'd be aitough company come mander who'd bust a guy for that, If I did, I wouldn’t have any ‘none coms’ left.”

Has a Tolerant Eye:

Lieut. Stewart looks upon offenders with a tolerant eye, based on the belief that with all the sol diers now in this afea, there are really few who get into trouble. “Funny thing,” he said, “we haven't had nearly as much trouble since they raised the pay to $50. I don’t know whether theyre drink ing a better brand‘ of whisky and not. getting so crazy or what.” “111 tell you what it is,” offered a military police sergeant from Stout field, “it’s because they're running around with a better class of girls now.” Lieut, Stewart agreed that such
