Oily solutions of the - insecticide are absorbed through the skin to a degree that might prove dangerous. ; Possibility of chronic poisoning from day to day contact with DDT seems to be causing., veterinarians more concern than the chance of acute poisoning from a single large dose, the American Foundation reported. Accumulations of the drug in an animal's body have been blamed for loss of weight, nervousness .and convulsions. BOOTS AND SADDLES, TRAINED DOGS TO DE HERE FRI. - SAT.

Used Last Year The medical and hospital care of infantile paralysis patients, scientific research seeking a prevention and improved treatment for this disease, and the educa tion of urgently needed professional personnel consumed $7,573,714.98 or ninety percent of the funds administered by the national headquarters of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis last year, according to the Annual Report of that organization made public yesterday by Basil O'Connor, president. Nationr' headquarters receives half the money raised each January through the March of Dimes, . the other half being retained by the 2,712 Chapters of the National Foundation covering the forty-eight states. The Chapters' funds are used to pay medical and hospital expenses for infantile paralysis patients who cannot meet full costs themselves. When Chapter funds are depleted, national headquarters advances money to cover this cost. Advances from national headquarters totalled $1,846,099 during the fiscal year, the report says, exceeding the previous year's advances by more than $400,000.

One 'carload of pulpwood cut from ,the Greene-Sullivan State Forest ,was en route to Chillicothe, Ohio, odf7 ,be made destln?d for"se ln "slick-paper" magazines. Sale of the pulpwood, first ever harvested from Indiana land previously mined by the open cut process, will show a definite profit for the state, ae cording to District Forester S. J. Hensler. It demonstrates, Mr. ujr ujjcii tut nunc ujjciaiuia. xnc present acute paper shortage has heightened interest in pulpwood crops. The wood just cut was obtained from an area of the state . ... A j x iorest one nine east ana aooui three-fourths of a mile north of gucktown in Greene county. It ' . by teams, then taken by truck 'in a npnrhv rnilrnnd siHine for thiwertto Indianapolis. Mr. Hensler said nothing but cotton- . wood was cut, although several nthpr snppips of trpps in tne . Tes are now reafly lor use as pulpwood. The timber grew on land that was mined in 1928 and 1929 by the Central Indiana Coal Company. The cottonwoods were volunteer trees, still younger than the coal company's first locust plantings amid which they matured. Now, Mr. Hensler said, the forest is in flourishing condition and, although it is less than 18 years old. it will be able to "take care of itself" through natural reproduction of the sycamores, maples, cottonwoods and other ees ? .ar e11 established tnprp Ppriorim nnrvpstinff 1 of n pulpwood crop will serve thln 0ut the stand and permit better growth of the younger trees; it will do much to make the state forest self-supporting.

For instance, they can specify that a certain amount of their insurance be paid to their beneficiary in a lump sum at the time of their death and that the remainder be paid in monthly installments over a given period or during the lifetime of their beneficiary. When electing a settlement option for G. I. insurance, the veteran should consider what his beneficiary's future circunv stances may be, Brosman said.

ARK HI FOR COMEBACK AGIST LINTON

A revamped Golden Arrow team will take the field Monday against the Linton Miners, in hopes of hitting the comeback trail after a series of heavy de feats. . Coach Bill Jones said today that two of the regular starters are still "Questionable" as far as their nhysical condition for the same is concerned. Harold Kellems, right tackle, suffered a twisted ankle in the game with Vincennes last week and, although the injury Is improved, may not be at his best Monday afternoon against the Miners. Dick Grable. right guard, still has a bruised back but is expected to be in playing shape by game time. The Arrow team Is considered a phenomena among hi?h school observers this season. It is odd in that offense is its strong point while defense, usually a green team's strong point, is the Arrows' failing. Defense, as a rule, comes natural to most gridders while a coach's biggest headache with new players is concerned with drilling on fundamentals and execution of complicated offenSlVe playS After th Vincennes game last Fridav night. Coach Tnman of the Alice ppproachpd the lcal mentor and remarked, never seen a team that "I've could well as vour team and have such a weak defense." . The outcome of Monday afternoon's tilt with the Miners hinges on how much the local team imwoveVl im, its.. - defense,;. Coach Jones said today. "At times they show flashes of excellent defensive play," he stated, "while at other times they look like beginners' Lee Russell will be seen as a halfback in the coming game for the first time this year. Coach .Tones announced that he is making this change to' get more weight in the backf ield and that Gene Frisbee will take Russell s spot at end as a result of his stellar play in recent games and practice. He also stated that Russell would probably alternate between his former end spot and at halfback. In last week's game against Vincennes, Frisbee caught several passes for much of the yardage gained by the Arrows during the tilt. School will be dismissed over Monday for the Armistice DayJ holiday, Principal Harry Gilmore announced today, and the band is expected to follow the Arrows to Linton that afternoon. Tickets for the game are on sale at the high school and also at Boyle's News Stand and prices are 35 cents and 10 cents.

Ind., Nov. 7 Reminiscent of 1918 when Indiana nroduced 30.310.000 tons of coal, last month the mines of the Hoosier state produced an estimated 2.512.000 tons which, on a year's average, would mean 30,000.000 tons, according to a statement issued today by the Coal Trade Association of Indiana. October production, which saw ix mines exceeding 100.000 tons, surnoe'ori September production by 122.000 tons. During the month there was a slight improvement in car supply; however, loss of operating time due to strikes in 11 mines exceeded time lost during September. "Indiana coal production during September and October, estimated at 4.674.000 tons exceeded the same months of last vear by 1.200.000 tons due to the fact that October 1945 strikes greatly re duced the tonnage during that period." stated C. C. Lydick. Managing Director of the coal association. "However, the State is still delinauent 2V? million tons in production for 1946 compared to 1945. due to the Aoril and May strike of this year. With cold winter months now at hand, operators are making every possible effort to maintain pro duction so that stockpiles may be huilt ud. Sporadic strikes during Government operation of mines in progress since the first of this month are materially reducing November production." Sleeping Cars Go to College BETHLEHEM, Pa.
