THE SNOOPER

A few days ago our "dean of engineering , County burveyer RILL SISSON, who is an authority on old stones (corner and tomb) took a look at one he'd never seen before. 'Recently BILL was surveying out on East Harris Street and after marking a cross on the ground, said, "Dig right there." Well, they dug "right there" and sure enough they found a corner stone that was 'planted' in 1842 by WILLIAM S. HINKLE, Sullivan county . surveyor at that time. The stone is of an unusually hard flinty character and BILL thinks maybe MR. HINKLE got the stone from some Indians who were making stonp tips for their arrows. JOHN S. TAYLOR is getting just a wee bit put out with his beloved Indiana University's football actions this year.. JOHN says, "I'm off of them until they win again, now." ' ALLEN CAMPBELL, who has followed the Notre Dame team for several years, saw last weekend's game and gave a pretty complete description of the game last night at the Downtown Quarterbacks meeting. Maybe BILL JONES should draft ALLEN as scout for the Arrows.

County Methodist Youths Meet In Shelburn Tuesday The Sullivan County Methodist Youth Fellowship met Tuesday evening, October 1st at seven o'clock in the Shelburn First Methodist Church for their October group meeting. Some one hundred and twenty lads and lassies of the county Methodist' churches and their sponsors figured in the assembly with the Farmersburg "league" receiving the traditional loving clip for the largest number, of league members present acl alscL taking the banner with the highest total present of all ages. Rev. R. N. Perkins, minister of the Farmersburg Methodist Church, opened the meeting in the auditorium of the Shelburn church following a game funsession in the basement. Group singing led by Miss Patricia Steel of Graysville accompanied by Miss Shirley Greggs of Farmersburg succeeded the opening welcome and devotions by Rev. L. N. Abel of the Shelburn church preceded . a short business session. Guest speakers for the evening were Howard "Pete" Chattin, President of the M.Y.F. of the Vincennes District; Harold Chattin, District Vice-President, Washington; and Lawrence May, Jr., Secretary-Treasurer of the District, Farmersburg. The trio! spoke of their recent trip to the J Methodist Youth Conference Grand Rapids, Michigan. at Relating some of the thoughts presented by convocation speak,ers, one of the most noted of whom was Dr. E. Stanley Jones, they beautifully portrayed a cnurcn lor an. manKina above whose door would be inscribed "The Prayer Hand, The Clasped Hand, The Pierced Hand." These divine symbols would mean to i the worshiper "worship, fellow I cVi V on4 nxi'ta nrViistVi Plim'f ship and the price which Christ paid." Passing through the portals of this universal shrine, mankind would find these words "The Globe of the World, The Rainbow and The Star of David" admonishing "commission, transmission and submission." Commenting upon the race discrimination question, these three convocation delegates reported that a restaurant whose, proprietors had gone to great expense to, prepare a special dining room for convocation members was learned to be barring negro . delegates from dining therein. Shortly after the word was "grapevined" around the assembly, that restauranteur's es tablishment was strangely absent of convocation diners. In many minor "but definite small ways, the Methodist youth are fighting race discrimination. More than eighteen hundred delegates from every country in the world with the exception of Europe were present to represent the youths and their respective climes. The November meeting of the M.YJ?. will be held at the Riley Methodist Church, Riley, Ind.
