Inside Indianapolis

A 24-INCH HIGH buffalo is captivating the hundreds of children who are visiting the Children’s Museum. The buffalo is one of the many animals in an exhibit there of “Animals in Art.” In one case . are Chinese jade, bronze, wood, ivory and glass animals. In another, Egyptian antiquities such as scarabs angl sacred bulls. And in still others, there are Dresden porcelain horses, pottery figures and about every kind of animal you've ever heard of, or haven't heard of. But still the “Q” Street buffalo 1s the favorite. He is a replica of the famous buffalo s‘atue on “Q" st. in Washington, D. C. Curious to know why all the kiddies like the buffalo, Grace Golden, museum director, started inquiring. Most of them liked it so well because “it is on our nickel,” Some said “because it gave food to the first settlers.” One child answered, “Because we never get to see them in the movies.” But, knowing children as she does, Mrs. Golden still thinks the buffalo owes his popularity to the fact that he's not behind glass and can be touched.

Nickel Plants Produling

LLOYD STILLABOWER, 524 S. Alabama st. picked a 16-ounce tomato off one of his 5-cent plants this week. It was a good one, too. Meaty and juicy. He has about 250 plants in his garden at 218 S. First sl. in Beech Grove. , .. C. A. Baker, 3635 Rockville rd., was gathering in his eggs from the henhouse the other day and found one shaped like a tenspin. It's not quite two inches long and only about a half inch wide at the top. Sure wouldn't fill up a hungry man. . . While OPA workers wondered just how much longer they'd have a job, Indiana Regional Director James Strickland went fishing at Crooked lake. . . . When Riverside park closed Wednesday night, a 4-year-old girl was still riding the merry-go-round. The attendants saw she was lost and took her to the office. “Well, little girl, what's happened to you?” they asked her. She informed them that her “parents got lost.” In a few minutes park officials found Nancy Ann's mother and daddy via the loud speaker system. . . The Indianapolis: Railways’ latest slogan for its bus signs is “G. 1. Joe can't get home unless you stay home.” . Pepsi-Cola employees are wishing real summer weather would come back. They've been having picnic lunches every noon over in Highland park. The cool weather isn't too good for them, though. Maybe they should invite the weather man to lunch.

Green Line Hop

BORINQUEN FIELD, Puerto Rico —We left Natal at 8:20 a. m. A giant C-45 dropped in with 40 passengers as we stood on the ramp, and the men went to the barracks we had just vacated. We had 20 returnees, another 20 were back of us ready for another C-47 plane in 45 minutes. Off we went and soon were winging over alternate jungle and beach up the Brazilian coast. I found that Cpl. Marion Cas-

sell, Dearborn, Mich.,, had the longest . overseas service—37 months gway from America. A

number of the boys were from the 85th division, Pvts. James Crist, Newark; Joe Delisi, Astoria, N. Y.; Robert Kaufman, New York City; Carl Maiese, Merchantville, N. Y.; Albert Popresti, Corona, N. Y.; Fréd Maeder, Buffalo: Russell Joyce, Mt. Holly, and Robert Brugge, Brooklyn. a year and a half. Then we had four young flying lieutenants, kids who've been up among the flak over many a target; Martin James Massare, Monongahela, Pa., Harry Stickley, Norwood, O., and Gregory Mazza, Pittsburgh.

light personal planes from September through the remainder of 1945. : “I hope the Aeronca pay roll will be up to 1000 by January, 1946,” added Friedlander: “This is almost triple the current number of our workers Swinging into peacetime production.” Half of the company’s. 350 employees now are working on’ reconverting the Middletown plant to civilian production. The other half is at work producing the peacetime models. It will be recalled that Aeronea produced the first light plane ever made and f.own in the United States, in 1928. Friedlander pointed out that both materials and labor are plentiful, that there will be no bottleneck there.

One-Day Reprieve ABOUT 55,000 school kids are happy this year that | Sept. 1 falls on Saturday. This means that they get one more day's summer vacation than usual. Here's the situation: Usually the school doors open for classes the day after Labor day. But before the pupils come back, the teachers have to meet for a couple of days. This is usually done on Sept. 1. This year, though, Sept. 1 is on a Saturday and that wou mean teachers would have to begin work on a weekend. So to straighten things out, teachers will meet

CAN A card game speed up teaching? That's the question Miss Verna Johnson, for 18 years an Indianapolis public school teacher, started thinking about last winter.

Remembering the time-honored game of authors, she started fin January of this year: to devise a musical card game about composers and compositions, With material from the outline she uses in teaching music appreciation at school 41, 3002 Rader st. Miss Johnson prepared a set of 48 cards. Twelve composers are represented, with four compositions for each. The cards are decorated with etchings done commercially from Miss Johnson's original sketches.

Tuesday, Sept. 4, and school will start the next day. Grade schools will have half-days the rest of the | week. But high schools will begin the full-day schedule right away. . . . We hear that there's a .skirtblower upper near the rear entrance of the Charles Mayer jewelry store. And it doesn’t need an operator like the one at Riverside amusement park fun house. . For the first time in many months the cigaret|se machines in the employees’ lobby at the National Hosiery Mills got filled up again Thursday. Walter L. Hess, 2544 N.

First off the line will be the Champion, a twoseater, tandem type plane, with a cruising range of 270 miles, cruising speed of 90 miles per hour and landing speed of 38 miles per hour. It climbs 500 feet per minute, has a wing span of 35 feet and is powered with a 65-horsepower engine, It is newly designed and refined from its pre-war status. The Chief, also a two-seater, with pilot and passenger seated next to each other, is a more deluxe model, but has many of the same speéifications. It will parallel the. Champion in production. Wing span is one foot greater, cruising range with auxiliary tank is 420 miles. Power plant, cruising speed and landing speed are the same.
