THE BIG QUESTION around Indianapolis the past couple of days has been: “What does K-F mean?” A skywriter has been writing the letters over the sky around town, pussling the majority of the residents as to what the tease advertising is all about. The answer is “Kaiser-Frazer,” according to Clarence Myers, manager of Stewart Motors, local distributors for Kaiser-Frazer cars. The skywriting campaign is a prelude to the opening of a sales campaign for the new cars , . . A newcomer to Indianapolis had oecasion to go to Beech Grove the other day, so decided
to ask the Beech Grove bus driver for directions,
Just as he was about to ask to be let off at a certain place, however, the driver turned and remarked conversationally: “Hope I don't get lost out here” He
then explained it was his first run and he was a total . |
stranger to Beech Grove, After he got started on the zig-¥ag bus course, the driver had to get directions from an elderly man, apparently the only person on the bus who knew where they were going. ‘The menu at the Pan-American restaurant shows he rising trend in food prices. The old price of $250 for sirloin steaks is crossed out and “$2.75” substituted, Then, the $2.76 price is scratohed off and “$3” written in. /
We'll Keep an Eye on This Place WE'VE HEARD OF auctioning everything but the kitchen sink, but never $100 hills, Century notes were selling for $99 as a sales stimulus at an auction ‘at McGinty Auto Sales, 301 N. Delaware, yesterday. Thrown in with some $50,000 worth of war surplus commodities were the $100 notes and several were purchased for a dollar less than face value. , , . Mrs. Eva Clark, 2007 N. Delaware st, a constant reader of the Terra Haute paper, ran across an item in their “Forty Years Ago” column Sunday that provided an interesting contrast to a present day news story. The item, culled from the 1908 filles, announced that barbers In Terre Haute, after much debate and consideration, had decided to hike the price of a shave five cents, from a dime to 15 cents. Mrs. Clark compared it to an announcement from several North side barber shops that they were raising the price of ‘haircuts to $1.. Bhave prices in several North side shops now average 50 cents. . . . An evidence of fickle fame was seen at the Western Tennis tournament at Woodstock Sunday. One day Long Islander Johnny Hassler was playing against Billy Talbert, the Wilmington, Del. lad who later took the championship. Talbert heat Hassler hands down. A few matches later Hassler was on the court in a new role, retrieving balls for his opponent. . . . Mrs. Thurman (tladden, 1229 N. Wallace st. tells us she and her husband were driving by Versailles state park, and ‘noticed two empty, modern stone: houses in the park. _
Vanishing River
FORSYTH, Mo., July 17.—We felt sorry for the poor fishermen here in White Swan camp this mom.
For three hours they had to stand around and “wait for ’em to turn on the river.’ When we staggered out of the tent this morning after a little warmer sleep than we had had the night before, we looked down the bluff and— The river was gone! When we went to bed last night, there was a smooth, quiet river, about 250 feet wide and six to eight feet deep, flowing in front of the camp. But this morning—well, there wasn't enough water to cover the stream bed. What little there was gurgled around big rocks. I tracked down the mystery. “Well, they didn’t run the turbines up at the dam last night,” the owner of the camp explained. “So they closed the gates and shut off the water. They'll probably start up again at 8 this morning. Then the river will come back.” The dam and hydroelectric plant, privately owned, are two miles up the river. The dam forms Lake Teneycomo. The plant is part of a power system that also includes another plant. They don't have to, run both at the same time.
But the Fish Come Back
I ASKED ONE fisherman with mournful mien where the big fish went when the river was turned off. “Oh, they go on downstream with the water” he said, “and some of them hide in the pools. But they'll start feeding back up this way as soon as the water is flowing again.” They turned it on up at the plant about 8, and by 10 o'clock we had our deep, smooth river once more. My son wanted to try his hand at angling today, but he gave up the idea when he learned a nonresident license would cost $3.15. They used to sell a cheap 10-day permit for tourist fishermen in Missouri but no more. You must pay $3.15 if you want to fish only“30 minutes. Otto R. Wolf, the old-timer who runs this camp, said it's a mighty short-sighted policy.
Aviation
R. A. F. STATION, Marham, Norfolk County, England, July 17.—Probably the oddest-looking bombing plane in existence today is a huge B-29 Superfortress whose 20,000-pound “payload” nestles like a baby kangaroo in its mother's pouch, half in and half out of the plane's belly. The bomb, jestfully nicknamed “Amazon,” is so huge that parts of the B-29's doors have been cut away and its double bomb bays converted into one to accommodate the missile. When released, the 10-ton bomb seems to hang momentarily in the air, while the much-lightened plane bounces sharply up. Although the war is over, the R. A. F. and the United States air force continue their research— just in case. The end of hostilities left several guestions unanswered ahout maximum effectiveness of bombing. Were the bombs penetrating to a depth where maximum earth shock was achieved? Could the cast or the welded metal bomb casings withstand the terrifie impact, or would they be shattered before the bomb's full damage had heen effected?
Aid Bombing Efficiency IN JANUARY American experts who had been following the early British tests decided to participate. A factory in Milwaukee began production on the giant “Amazon.” Farly in March, 50 officers and 100 enlisted men, drawn. principally from the air force proving grounds at Elgin Field, Florida, left for the Marham base, under command of Lt. Col. D. G. Hawes, Rose Hill, N. C.
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—T received a letter recently from a mother in 8t. Louis who felt, as I did, a certain relief at our sane and quiet Fourth of July. “.* She also sensed, however, that some kind of general” observance should be established to emphasize the meaning of the day for our younger generation, She writes: “If something 1s not done, the Fourth of July will just become another midsummer ‘holiday’, devoid of any definite meaning, and the only time the children will hear and learn of the significance of - this
day will be in the history class, and sometimes things learned in the history class are soon forgotten.
Urges Flag at Every Home “80 THIS is my idea: Why not every home, and I mean every home, in the United States, on the Fourth of July, display the American flag? “This idea at first may not seem too convincing, but ean you visualize looking down street after street in every city and town and see ‘Old Glory’ flying
+ from gvery home? Could this be accomplished, it
would not be necessary to repeat the glorious story of our forefathers year after year. This sight would leave an indelible mark on the minds of all.” * . This word picture is really very’ impressive. theless, ¥ think I would add a little to it, "like to see people gather together in their eommunities and sing some songs. For instance, school children could Sing Wie ballad for America.

The Glladdens wondered why the houses aren't being used, in view of the housing crisis. Paul Squires, of the state conservation department, says he ean't answer the question, unless it's just that no one ever asked to rent the houses. The Versailles park, he explains, was a federal recreation demonstration area which was taken over by the state im 1942. The war has curtailed development since 1942 so the park is pretty much the way the federal government left it.

“HE STATE loses money by it,” He said. “People passing through would pay a dollar for a shortterm permit, but they won't pay $3.15. And most of them would take few fish out of our waters. Shucks! Most df 'em don’t know how to fish. They wouldn't
catch anything.” There's a discouraged family in a cabin down: the line. They fished for several days—and didn't get a bite. Then they went blackberrying. And they found so many big juicy berries that they got more buckets and picked and picked. They've been blackberrying every day since then, and Mamma has put up 20 quarts of berries right hers in camp. They're having a wonderful time. Down in the camp washroom this morning I overheard two men talking about a fellow who was drowned in the -river, “He was out ina boat w himself, drunk,” one man said. “A couple of fishermen passed him and tried to get him to come in, but he wouldn't. He held up his bottle and offered them a drink, but they wouldn't take any. ‘All right, he said, ‘I'll take one myself.’ Later he lost his balance and fell in.” A big family, riding in three cars, stopped here today just to eat a picnic dinner—grandpa and | grandma, thelr two sons and daughters-in-law, grand- | children... The boys had Just come back from the army. They were from near Springfield, and had been driving around all morning, visiting places and looking for a good spot in which to eat. They had a big dinner, five gallons of ice cream, a case of beer, a case of pop, and a few nippled bottles for the baby. The drinks for the grownups and the kids were just fine—ice cold. The baby’s milk was cold, too, and | that wasn't so good. So that's where we stepped in with our little GI stove. “Yes, but it isn't a bit prettier than it is at home right under the bridge,” the family philosopher remarked. “Been better to go there instead of running around all over the country looking for a place to eat.” Well, we, too, will be running around looking for a place to eat tomorrow. We hit the road again in the morning—on up through Springfield and west into Kansas.
