Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum
THIS® DIDNT happen inside Indianapolis, but it's a wonder to us that it didn’t; most everything else happens here. In an exchange of correspondence,
the state OPA office here received word of the woman
down in Port Arthur, Tex, who applied for additional sugar allowance for her family for canning purposes. She forgot to specify the number of pounds sought for each member of the family, and the rationing board returned the application, instructing her to list the pounddge. Back came a note reporting that the applicant weighed 210, her husband 145 and her mother-in-law, 160. . .

party for the nearly 400 employees of the paper. It's to be a “breakfast.” at 2 p. m. Sunday (June 25) in the Riley room of the Claypool hotel, It's a pretty safe bet that this is one party that every able-bodied employee of the paper will attend. , . . During the recent school for firemen given here by Purdue, something like 400 firemen attended. Also attending were three policemen. During the school, war bonds were given as attendance awards. And, with 400 firemen and three policemen present, one of the policemen was the recipient of the very first bond.
Canine Emcee
THE SHORTRIDGE high school graduation exercises at the Coliseum were enlivened Wednesday night by the antics of a dog which appointed himself master of ceremonies. The animal, probably the pet of one of the graduates, would escort each row of graduates from their seats and bark at them as they ascended the steps at the other side of the platform. Occasionally, he would trot up on the stage and give the situation the once over as Roscoe Conkle of the school board handed out the diplomas. The dog didn't need much encouragement to bark, but what little he needed was provided surreptitiously by the boys and girls. We mentioned the dog to Dick Miller, man-
Peaceful Eddy
ROME, June 17.—Virtually oblivious to the ebb and flow of war past his window, George Santayana, celebrated 80-year-old Spanish philosopher and writer. has spent the last two and a half years in peaceful seclusion in a Catholic hospital in Rome writing two books and waiting contentedly to die. Despite his years, the former Harvard professor has a firm handshake and an agile mind. “I am suffering from nothing except old age,” he said today in Calvary hospital. Clad in a gray dressing gown, blue pajamas, and a black tie, Santayana conversed freely about his latest works which include the second and final book of his autobiography, “Persons and Places,” work entitled, “The Idea of Christ
and a tehological

ager of the Coliseum, and Dick assured us that the dog definitely was not the Coliseum’'s “regular” canine entertainer. The “regular,” a frolicsome mutt of the hound type, is particular about his events. He wanders into the Coliseum and if he finds some ordinary event, such as public skating, he leaves disdainfully. But let him discover a bond rally, or ice extravaganza or, best of all, a hockey game, and he’s there in full voice for the evening. At hockey games he races up and down the sidelines, following the play. Once, when the referee hopped up and sat on the railing to get out of the way of a play, the dog tried to rip the seat out of the referee's trousers. One of the animal's favorite stunts is to bark continuously during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner,

All Bunks to Be Filled For First Time at Chank-Tun-Un-Gi.
Boy Scouts of the Central Indiana council will have left no bunks vacant for the first time in the history of their summer camps, when they go into bivouac at Camp Chank-Tun-Un-Gi Monday afternoon for the 19th annual season. Registered, from the 5455 members of Indianapolis’ 222 troops, 300 boys are scheduled to attend each of the six encampments at Chank-Tun-Un-Gi, with 60 scouts listed to encamp at Camp Rotary’s eight one-week outings which begin on Sunday, June 25. Hubert T. Vitz, camp director, has announced a varied program for both the 250-acre Chank- - Un-Gi,, located in woodland along the south bank of Fall creek, and Rotary's site on Sugar creek at

Indian ford. Double Duty Ahead
Because so many scouts and scout leaders are wearing a different uniform this year, instructors will do double duty to assist the campers in delving into scout lore which will include instruction and practical application in pioneering, handicrafts, bird study, signalling, knot tying, tracking, knife and ax, swimming, cooking and fires, and camper requirements. Food prepared under adult direction, will be served “family style,” and scouts will have a brush with k. p. when they “police” their own
{mess gear. As nearly as possible, ‘scouts will be quartered with mem{bers of their own troops in cabins
and tents. Translated from the Miami Indian tribe's dialect, Chank-Tun-Un-Gi means, “Noise Place,” and bearing out that appelation will be the well-supervised swimming pool

convention where there was so much invective of a personal nature. Congressman Ray Madden, the keynoter provided the highlight with the demand for a grand jury | investigation of the campaign ex- ! penses of Homer E. Capehart, the Republican senatorial nominee. Mayor Jesse I. Pavey of South Bend, the permanent chairman, used the words “sinister power” in reference to G. O. P. gubernatorial nominee Ralph Gates’ term as state chairman, And, of course, the name of Robert W. Lyons, chain store attorney and former Ku Klux Klan treasurer who resigned as G. O. P. national committeeman last week, was bandied around as much as the Republicans do Mr. Roosevelt's. Senator Samuel D. Jackson painted a picture of a return to the '20s under the present G. O. P. leadership. Said he: “Intolerance, race hatred and bigotry sold the good name of In= diana into shame once before beneath the dome of the statehouse —that time under a trade-mark bearing the names of Ed Jackson and D. C. Stephenson.” And even the Democratic platform took note of the election of Mr. at a surprise meeting of the publican national convention delegates here June 2, describing the event as “Righhanded trickery.” Hold your hats, boys, here we

that President Roosevelt must be

The Republicans on the other hand will do everything possible to firmly tie the New Deal label to Governor Schricker and Senator Jackson, saying that any vote for them is a vote for the New Deal. And they will use to prove the point the fact that the state administration - ¢ on trolled Democratic convention yesterday indorsed a fourth terms That, they say, proves definitely that the Indiana Democratic leadership is New Deal. Too, the Republicans will use the bossism charge, basing this upon the fact that the 15 places on the ticket were filled by the hand-picked method by the governor and other party leaders. Along this line they will mention the way the track was cleared to nominate an unwilling candidate, Floyd J. Hemmer, the governor's personal choice, for lieutenant governor. ”

Schricker’s Promise
GOVERNOR SCHRICKER told the Democratic delegates yesterday that if elected senator he will “go down to Washington” to support the war effort, to work to bring ‘the boys home as quickly as possible and to help in the reconversion of industry after the war. Mr. Capehart, the Republican nominee, declared in his acceptance speech two weeks ago that he was “sick and tired of the New Deal and intended to go down to Washington to do something about it.”
