Mrs. Simms Explains About Foreigners

"Have you ever been a foreigner?" That was the way Mrs. Nettie Simms started her talk to the Business and Professional Women's Club banquet in the Methodist Church Annex last night. "You see," she told the members and their guests, "unless you have,: you can't understand how it is to be one, and the problems that they face."

Legi slat tire 'Passing Bock9 To '48 Voters

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 26. (UP) It became . incveas:ngly evident today that the voters would have a lot of "timber work" in the 1948 general election. Beside voting for the presidential, state and county officials, they may have to decide three major issues, because the 1947 Indiana Legislature has passed the buck to the voter.

ARROWS OPEN SECTIONAL PLAY with mm

Sullivan's Golden Arrows start defense of their 1946 sectional title in the first game of the sec tional tourney Thursday night when they play Farmersburg. While the chances are that the defense will not be a successful one, the Arrows should go to the semi-final game before they lose. The Arrows have not met the Plowboys this season, but will still rate as a slight favorite. Farmersburg has won five games against the three that Sullivan has won, but the class of opposi tion that the Arrows have met has been a lot stiffer. New Lebanon's Tigers should have little trouble beating the Pleasantville Blue Streaks in the second Thursday game. The Tigers have trounced the Streaks both times they have met this season, the first time 28-25 in the season opener, and the second time 43-18. The other favorite for the championship, Shelburn, does not play it's first game until Friday when the Panthers meet Graysville in the final game of the afternoon session.

Baker Mine Wins Safety Award For Third Time It was announced today by Harry Kcenan of the Glendora Coal Company that the Baker mine of this county has again won the John A. Templeton trophy for the safety record in the year ended October 31, 1946. The local mine has established a record by receiving this award, having previously been awarded the same in the years 1938-1939 and 1942-1943. A dinner will be given in honor of the employees, and the officials here March 1st at 6:30 p, m. in the Methodist Church Annex. In addition to the presentation of the trophy, souvenirs will be given the employees and officials by the Lynch Coal Operators Reciprocal Association At the conclusion of the dinner, special entertainment will be presented.Fewer Flowers From Hawaii HONOLULU, T, H. (UP) Flower exports from Hawaii in 1946 showed a 25 per cent decline from 1945, but the shipment of 12,514 packages during December set an all-time monthly record. Ruth Elliott of the University of Hawaii said the reduction in total exports may be attributed to the smaller number of military personnel in the territory.

Today the Senate adopted what might be an amended "anticlosed shop" bill. The amendment killed everything but the enacting clause and substituted a clause calling for a 1948 referendum on the question of whether the voter favored an amendment on anti-closed shop legislation. Meanwhile, in the House, the Governer's liquor-divorcing bill was stricken off the calendar on an' arbritary decision by Speaker Robert Creighton, Republican from Warsaw. It may come up again tomorrow for the third reading. The Senate approval of a referendum on the closed shop issue, increases to three the major issues now scheduled for the voter to decide next year. However, the closed shop bill, like the veteran bonus bill and the local option bill have passed only one house, and must be passed by the other house, and then signed by the Governor.
