THOSE JALOPIES on enough to eat. They stand in inviting fancy cookies,
the snow-capped used cars. But I'll tell you a secret. Now's the time to buy. It al-
ways is, when no one else is buying. You get your best deals today, ahead of the spring rise in prices. ~

month from now, recent models
probably rise a hundred bucks more.
New cars in popular lines are
scarce, and getting scarcer. This will throw a load of demand on
the late pre-defense models, the
ones they slick up and stick out in front to dress up the lot. ” ” » You'll be wise if you come out ahead of the cherry blossoms with the car you're going to buy anyway.

Labor Savers THE railroad strike almost put a crimp in the opening of the big Indiana Industrial Show yesterday at the State Fairgrounds. Besides it had to buck the weather. With 300 exhibit booths, and every new idea in business equipment on display, Dan Young, boss of the show, told me it was a problem to get the stuff in on time and set up. >
» ” » . LAST night the weather hit attendance but there still were more than 1000 hardy souls who went to see what's new in how- . to-do-it. The show runs through Saturday. And my guess is that it will play to heavy crowds looking for labor-savers for the manpower shortage just ahead. ‘Cello’s’ Rival? WHEN I FIRST SAW this name’ I thought of that stuff Gabriel Heatter used tp “spell backwards” on the radio. : It’s called “Saran.” But it's not for that peppy feeling in ‘the morning, It's a new product of to: Cellophane: 5 } 2 » = » 4 BOB NETZORG, city sales manager for the Capitol Paper Co, says Saran. replaces Cellophane in refrigerators and freezers. And it’s 80 per cent salt. -It comes in rolls and can be sealed with heat. And it can be used in place of the messy grease in which they pack Army rifles when they ship them overseas. I look for it to go a long way, put FN bet housewives will call fe , ‘anyway. ‘And won't make so much differen so long as they use it. 3
The Champs THE BANKING O'HARE boys over in Greencastle helped name a few champions yesterday. They picked up the tab for 550 farmers at their “Profit and Pasture” luncheon in the Methodist Church, threw a barbecue, with baked beans, salad, coffee and dessert. The farmers lapped it up. Then, Fred and Bob O'Hare, along with the Putnam County Conservation District officials, read a few names and handed out the honors to farmers who took the best care of their land.
” ” » LAFE V. McGAUGHEY was named master conservationist for Putnam ‘County for taking such good Jcare of his farm. The master practicioner award went to Drake Brookshire, and the family award went to Mr. and Mrs. John Vermillion and sons, Stanley and Jack.
” » ” THEY HAD ALLAN B. KLINE, president of the American Farm Bureau, down from Chicago to cut the farmer in on what he could do about inflation. Other! big speakers, too. 1 Nice things, the O’'Hares and their Central National Bank, are doing for their good neighbors.

They all entered pleas of “guilty ?
Heroes of the action were police Sgt. Dennis Reilly and Patrolman J. L. Sullivan. They were driving in their prowl car and had just taken a radio call giving the description of the get-away car used in a holdup at Dady’s Marr ket, 1802 W. Morris St, a few blocks away. Suddenly the car sped past them and they took up the chase. In the 200 block N. Warman Ave., they forced the bandit's car to the curb and with drawn guns covered the men before they could reach for their own weapons. x At the time of the arrest the two men in the rear seat were counting and splitting the more than $130 they had just taken. In the store at the time of the stick-up was cashier Louana Smith, 23, of 1814 Westview Dr,, and David Badge, 70, 1145 8.

Measure Assailed as

The bill was assailed as “special| legislation” by attorneys of five] incorporated towns in Marion County, which also would be af-| fected by the measure. 1 Members of the Tibbs Ave. and Eagle Creek Civic League urged passage of the bill, charging the proposed sewage plant would de-| crease the value of neighboring, property. : | The Senate committee appar-| ently ruled the debate a draw, deferring action nn the bill to a] later date. Henry Steig, former Indian-| would not be feasible to link Speedway City with the Indianapolis sewer system. He said sewers here were 50 per cent overloaded now. “Indianapolis will have to spend
875 million to provide additional
sanitation facilities in the corporate limits,” he said. “To bring in outlying towns, it would cost another $200 million.” He said the bill would “deny public health and sanitation to thousands of Marion County residents until Indfanapolis gets ready to take care of them , . . and that's a long time in the future.” Need For Plants ° To bring all of Marion County into the Indianapolis sanitation system, Mr, Steeg said, three to five additional sewage plants would have to be constructed. Stanley Lawton, Speedway City Attorney, said the bill is an extension of a court fight by property owners living between Indianapolis and Speedway City. He said the Indiana Supreme Court had rejected a suit to block construction of the $750,000 Speedway sewage plant. : Orrin Perrott, trustee of the Eagle Creek Civic League, also charged that the proposed planf would create a “nuisance” hazard.
