EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE you run across sportsmanship and kindness that makes you, realize anew the greatness of those two qualities. And it's especially eye-opening when you find such kindness in children, as we did on a visit to 800 Parker ave. yesterday. . . . All during the summer, baseball has been the morning, afternoon and evening topic of Danny Warren, 838 Parker; David Wilson, 808, and Danny and Bill Wessel, of 821 ranging from 4 to 9 ®-- old. So enthusiastic were they that they pur.chased red and gray uniforms just alike and took the name “The Parker Cubs.” Mothers sewed numbers on their uniforms and dads laid aside Sunday papers to take them to Brookside park for a weekly game. . , . Many a motorist driving through the park stopped to watch the pint-sized players swing bats bigger than the players themselves. Many spectators chuckled at tiny Dan Wessel, who often paused to hitch up a sagging suit because the smallest size in the store was too big for him. . . . Just a few weeks ago the team had its first upset. Little Danny Wessel, who'd once knocked one “clear over the grape arbor in Warren's backyard,” was rushed to bed. A doctor who discovered a latent heart ailment said baseball and Danny were through. Not only for the many ‘months that he will be confined to bed but for always. . . . The team without Danny didn't seem the same; neither did Danny “3 right without the team. & Danny Becomes Manager THEN ON THE Saturday morning that they usually spent playing, the boys dressed up in their suits and trooped over to ask Mrs. Frank Wessel, “Can we see Danny?” As the Cubs lined up around his bed Spokesman Danny Warren (Danny Wessel thinks Danny Warren and Indianapolis Indian Stbby Sisti are baseball's two greats) broke the news. . . . They could get another shortstop, he told the invalid. Tommy - Stevens, who lived back on Tacoma, had a suit. But what they really needed was a big boss and they'd decided “to make you manager, Danny.” Danny couldn't have been any happier if they'd brought him Babe Ruth on a platter. . . . Now the b team marches in everytime they play, to “get instructions” from Mahager Wessel. Each Saturday they urn over the penny a week dues, which Manager Wessel saves to buy balls. Betore each week-end game they go in to ask “Where you want us to play, Boss?” and after each game he gets a play-by-play description. . . . From his bed where he's spent 21 days today, the boy who jumped from shortstop to manager bosses what we think is probably the greatest little baseball team ever produced in.Indianapolis.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (U. P.).—The war assets administration has only 50,000 workers (only 50,000, he says) peddling the leftovers of war. 'Tain’t enough. The New York regional office is limping along with barely 22 press agents. The whole outfit is equally short-handed. The head junkmen are trying. to hire another 25,000 helpers. That'll give us 75,000 federal dealers in old clothes, fron and air raid warden helmets, and then maybe we'll get some action. Maybe you'll even get your new telephone. The army has turned over to the government's second-hand men about $50,000,000 worth of telephones and wire to string ‘em together. Another $50,000,000 shipment is on the way. That's a lot of

Neighbors Share Opinion

OUR OPINION of the Parker Cubs is shared by a good many neighbors. We chatted with Mrs. Edna Belding, of 832, who was waiting for members of the Centenary Christian church circle 1 to arrive for a meeting. In her 20 years as a Parker resident Mrs. Belding has seen many boys growing up, but never any “who were any cuter or more thoughtful.” . . .| Fritz, the black and white dog of Mrs. August Bayse, 826 N. Parker, was in a quandry when we stopped in. He couldn't decide whether to look out the front window at the children coming out of the Wessel home or the circle 1 women going in Mrs. Belding's house nextdoor. When we left after talking to Mrs. Bayse he was still hesitating between barking and wagging his tail. . . . We stopped in for a breathing spell at the home of MY. and Mfs. Harold Walter, of 833. It was their daughter, Gloria, a student at Tech, who told us about the Parker Cubs. . . ., Mrs. Jeanette Fassbender, who lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Uhl, at 820, told us the block's residents were so friendly that even the dogs get along. That's saying something, because as far as we could see every house in the block had at least one and often two | dogs. There must be something about the-air out there that fosters friendliness.

SECOND SECTION FLANNER HOUSE

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER “IT'S A GREAT thrill to give a gardener a little handful of “seed corn and a few weeks later bring the several bushels of roasting ears she has raised to the Flanner House

«cannery to be canned.”

This observation was made in the [cannery by Albert A. Moore who manages the garden plots sponsored by Flanner House. He said the words with the gleam in his face of a person who sees the perpetual miracle of agriculture. J Mr. Moore seems also to be .indispensable to the community can-

He constantly works with Paul V, Jewell, acting director of self-help services and the cannery. ~ - ~ < MOTHERLY Mrs. Lydia Harding, 60 years old and proud of the fact, raised the corn of which Mr. Moore spoke and many other vegetables. Yesterday, she and several companions were preparing vegetables in the outer room of the cannery. It is located on the property of the old Flanner House site, 806 N. West st. Busy now canning tomatoes, the women have -already put up corn, beans and okra. Okra is that delicious succulent vegetable used for gumbo.. stew, soups and fritters. “The people in Indiana like okra when you serve it to them, Harding remarked, “but they don't seem to know what it is.” She was born in Tennessee where okra is a popular dish. » » » IN THE adjoining room where

“MY QUESTION IS: ‘What can the housewife do to exert her influence?

SHE 18 QUITE right, I think. This is a problem for the housewives of the country and we should make ourselves heard by our government. If meat is not available, then a campaign should be put on so that every housewife would know how to feed her children and how to give them such things as will take the place of meat, Many people never eat red meat, but they do eat a great deal more of certain foods which we are apt to forget about. This question of what to feed children when certain things are short is a question for which the national government should have planned with the state governments.. And no locality in this country should be without a constant remainder of how children should be fed to keep them in good health. The cost-of-living is much more complicated. We, the public, could have supported OPA much more vocally. We could have supported such measures as the administration proposed for preventing inflation a long while ago, instead of letting many of them die in congress. : That would have prevented many of the strikes which are now being blamed for the rise in the cost of living. Strikes and higher wages do increase the cost of living. But the strikes were brought about in large part by the fact that men could no longer live on their wages—and every housewife knows that,
