By JEAN ENGELKE THEIR heritage, strong in their

growth, the Athenaeum Turners will hold a centennial celebration Feb. 22 through Feb. 24.

The festivities, complete with hobby show, archive exhibit, banquet and dance, will mark 100 years of activity for the organization composed of American-born, German-de-

scended families,

It all began when Frederick Ludwig Jahn started the Turner movement in 1811 in Germany. It was he who opened the first gymnasium in/Hasendeide in Berlin. His purpose was to build up the physiques of German youths, . Shortly thereafter Turner, societies sprang up all over Germany and the continent. Thousands of young men partici- _ pated in the gymnastic and athletic programs.

After an unsuccessful Ge:

the refugees fléd to the United States. The majority were Turners, A bare three years later German club life began in Indianapoli§ with the forming of the Turngemeinde, from which the Athenaeum Turners trace their origin. The original founders were August Hoffmeister, Jacob Metzger, Alexander Metzger, Clemens Vonnegut, John Ott and Karl Hill. From a membership of six, the Turners now have a roster of some 1500 members,

Preparedness

ALWAYS FOLLOWING the doctrine of physical preparedness, they have added much to cultural and social Indianapolis. In early years they organized schools for children and adults, taught them’ the English language, trades, arts and music. And they assisted the German immigrant in adusting himself to American ving. Endeavoring to make physical education a national project, they were the first to introduce it into our public “schools. They promoted musical education through singing sections, orchestras, bands, drums, fife and bugle corps.

Non-Partisan

NON-PARTISAN, they supported women’s suffrage, advocated the election of U. 8. Senators by popular vote, opposed prohibition, favored abolition of slavery and proposed _the postal savings system. In short, through the years they have concerned themselves with all types of activities—physical, social, cultural and political. Feeling the need of a women’s organization to aid them, in 1876.they called upon their wives and daughters. At the men's request the Turn-Schwestern was organized. In. May of this year the organization, now known as the Women’s Auxiliary to the Athenaeum Turners, will celebrate its 75th anniversary.

How to Live With Yourseli— x : Minister Provides Post-Wedding ‘Service’; ‘Rider’ in Contract Saves

Does Responsibility End at Altar?

S A MINISTER, I recognize the many

problems involved in marriage. Budget troubles, in-law complications, personality deficiencies, vocational adjustments, housing difficulties, child-rearing perplexities — these .and a host of other tensions place a straih upon today's marriages. It is for this reason that I have developed an interesting technique in the marriage service itself. That technique is based on this premise: If a young couple invests in a new car, vacuum cleaner, they do it with assurance as well as expectaHere is a new kind of approach to_intimate problems

pe ’ Rider T IS MY contention that the minister's responsibility begins, not ends, with the signing of his name to the marriage certificate. Therefore, to the regular marriage contract, I have added a “rider.” Some-

times it is inserted during the premarital counseling period.
