The older guys grow only one way, like the apple, rounder by the day.

YOU HEAR all about the char-| ity drives. And that's usually the end. The money goes to people you never see. And that makes a lot of people wish they did know whon¥ they have helped.

” 2 » THE MONEY does more good than you think. Take the Kiwanis Club. I know where its money goes. Grover Millett, secretary, reports the club spent $4000 to help youngsters get along. About $1000 went for new therapy equipment at Crossroads, the crippled children’s school. Another $1400 went for new equipment in the workshop at the Boys Club on English and Lauter Aves.

No Attacks Come

As Truce Dies |

| PANMUNJOM, Korea, Friday, | Dec. 28 — United Nations and Communist negotiators start a new attempt today to complete a Korean armistice after failing in their special 30-day effort. Both deadlocked truce subcommittees will meet at 8 p. m. |.(Indianapolis Time) today. | The %0-day drive for a truce ended last midnight (9 a. m.). Failure to reach an agreement wiped out the tentative cease-fire line and buffer zone based on (the Nov. 27 battleline. : |

No Sign of Attack

Henceforth, the opposing armies can keep any territory they capture in battle. But there was no sign either side planned any immediate large-scale attack. No new cease-fire line and buffer zone will be drawn across Korea until the rest of the armistice terms have been settled. The new line will be based on the battleline existing at that time. No extension of the 30-day cease-fire line agreement was mentioned in Thursday's subcommittee meetings. But each
