I Teen Age Canteen

This is the first of a series of four articles written by Bill Hays itboul the Dart 'n Arrow Canteen. The "Times" had carried several stories recently, sometimes on the front page and sometimes in your "Open Forum", concerning Youth Recreation, Inc. and the Dart 'n' Arrow canteen and there appeared to be considerable interest around them on the subject of Sullivan teen-age recreational program and . activities particularly concerning the Dart 'n' Arrow. Because I am much heartened by all of this interest, which I consider to be important to the future success of our. canteen and. therefore, to the children of Sullivan, and because I have been associated for some' time now with Youth Recreation, Inc. and the Dart 'n' Arrow, it has occurred to me, that, through the "Times", the citizens of Sullivan would be interested to know something about the background, history, present status and future plans of this youth recreational endeavor. Thus, I am taking the liberty of submitting this memorandum to your paper for whatever constructive use you may care to make of it in advising the public of the facts and in arousing them to still greater interest and activity with regard to the Dart 'n' Arrow. At the beginning of the year 1945, a group of Sullivan citizens, pt the instigation of Mr. Alor.zo C. Owens and Mr. Joe W. Anstead, met together to discuss the formation of a teen-aga recreation program in Sullivan, for the teen-agers in the town of Sullivan and in Hamilton Township. This group had come to the conclusion that Sullivan needed such a program and, in my opinion, their conclusion was profoundly justified. Anyone having any doubt as to the need, then or now. of such a program in Sullivan has only to talk to some of the teen-age children f fveeive their answer: he might I talk ightt to some of the parents a these

i.. .,r.hidren-who have been corpcernr ed about the recreational welfare It of the boys and girls. jU As a result of these early meetI ) ings, about fifteen individuals of L J Sullivan put up $100 apiece toJ ward the formation of a non-

j profit corporation to establish a teen-canteen. Articles of incorporation were drawn up, filed with

I and approved by the Secretary of State of Indiana on April 23, 1945. k Between the time when the first I money was subscribed and the 1 latter date, the Sullivan Elks I Lodge purchased from the Ameri

can juegion me lormer region crooerty immediately north of the Elks building on North Court Street, with the idea of turning it over to the corporation, when formed, for a ten-year period rent-free. Also during this time, a public subscription drive resulted in the raising of an additional fund, the articles of incorporation of Youth Recreation, Inc., containing the

Shelburn Wins

Across the floor, the yell-leaders were leading the fans in a yell that went like this: "Our team is red hot." And it WAS red hot. It was that hot shooting that Eave the Shelburn Panthers a 32 to 25 victory over the tired New Lebanon Tigers. From the time that Dick McHugh hit a basket early in the second quarter to break a 7-all tie until tne en(5 of the Same, it was all Shelburn. Except for the baskets by Noble late in the mucuici, m.ai '"i6uj might have been greater. Those baskets cut an eleven-point lead to seven points. The Panthers knew how they wanted to play the game, and they made New Lebanon play the same way. That made it rough on them, because the Tigers were used to a slam-bang play, and Shelburn just refused to play that ,way. Shelburn's deliberate style of offense, and their refusal to be hurried confused the Tigers', and then when New Lebanon wanted to race, the timing was off and it didn't work, I To give you an idea of how

deliberate the Panthers played, they took only 39 shots in the entire ball game. Against this small total, the Tigers fired 63 times. The thing was that when Shelburn fired, the shots were good ones, while most of thp shots that the Tigers took were wild flings at the basket that they hoped would connect, but that most of the time they didn't. In lhat second quarter, when the Panthers won the game, after McHugh had hit to break that tie, Metheny sunk a short one. and then after Roseberry had hit on McCracken's foul, MteHugh and Sweet scored from the field to

was believed to have been caus(international Newsphoto.) the Indiana House of Representatives today took pot shots at Governor Gates charging that the administration had brought unprecedented pressure to bear on the legislature in this session. The attack on the Governor which came as the 85th General Assembly opened the last full vyeek of its 61 day 1947. session brought a showdown on the gov-' ernmental reorganization bill. The bill created a new State budget committee and a central purchasing agency. It failed to ns in the House by a vote of ; 37 to 41. Today it was recalled and passed by 59 to 22, and then the action was, nullified by House Sneaker Hobart C. Creighton who paved the way for the bill to e before the House for the third time. Leaders of the bloc attacking the Governor were Representative PrtKort TTrtrwer R nf Goshen Representative' Wesley M. Malone, R., of Clinton, and Representative Lawrence Baker, R.. of Kendallville. Hoover charged that Gates had called before him everyone who voted against the bill and "whipped them over a barrel and told them that they would have to vote for the bill." Hoover said he was among them, but refused to accede to the Governor's de mands. Sartor Resartus ST. LOUIS (UP) A new twist in degrees showed up here on the business cards of one Joe Lally, who lists himself as1 a "D.D.T.," wh.ich translated, he says, stands for "distinctive drape tailor." Title was the way that Tom Santus stuck to Jack Sims. The little guy couldn't get away from the Panther forward, as he got away from the other teams. Sims fired 11 (times in the first half and missed them all. But a lot of credit must be given to Bill Metheny who made life miserable for Noble.Wayne shot 8 times and hit only once. At the start of the second half, Santus scored his only basket of the game and the Panthers had a ten point lead. From then on, they played a cool, deliberate game, forcing the Tigers to come out after them,. and re fusing to take a long shot at the basket. In that last half. Shelburn only took 12 shots, and hit 4 of them, to give the Panthers an over-all average for the game of .333. In contrast, the Tigers were throwing the ball at the basket every chance they got but couldn't hit. They shot 34 times in the last half to hit 6 baskets. That gave them a game average (Continued on Page 6. Col. 3)

FIRE CAUSES $2,500 DAMAGES AT LOCAL CHURCH

The Pilerim Holiness Church i was damaged by fire Sunday morning when a fire started between the two roofs of the building. The blaze was discovered by a neighbor just as Sunday School was being dismissed. Damage to the building , was estimated at between $1,500 and $2,500 when the fire smoldering for about an hour before it was detected. The inside of the building was completely water soaked, and the roof destroyed. Insurance will cover part of the loss. The building had been completely refinished not long ago. The structure was built by the Catholic denomination and was used by them for a number of years as a mission. The City of Sullivan bought it from them and used it as a school. The Pilgrim Holiness Church then bought the building from the city for a church. The Rev. R. W. Brown is oastor of the church. Local Students Attend Symphony In Indianapolis Twenty-four pupils from the choruses of Sullivan and Dugger High Schools attended the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concert in Indianapolis last Fri day night. The pupils attended under the auspices of the Beta Beta chapter of the Psi Iota Xi sorority of Sullivan. George Ebesco, Rumanian violinist and composer, appeared as soloist He played the Brahms D-Major Concerts. Mrs. Mary Ann Reed, National Psi Iota Xi Symphony Chairman, cooperated with the local chapter in securing the tickets for this special performance. The concert tickets are made available through Miss Elsie Sweeney, a Psi Iota member from Columbus, Indiana, whose contributions to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchastra has helped so materially in making Psi Iota the largest single organization contributor to the Symphony. Each year the National organization of Psi Iota Xi has matched Miss Sweeney's offer for the purchase of seats for Symphony Concerts, Miss Sweeney's contribution this year being $600. i These tickets have been present ed to high school and college glee clubs, band and orchestra members and other students from over the state, through the local Psi Iota Chapters. During the war thousands of service men and women benefitted from the use of these tickets. The Sullivan Chapter has been purchasing two season tickets annually. However this is the first time that the Chapter has sponsored sending a group from the local schools. .Members of the local Chapter accompanying the students to Indianapolis were Mary L. Temnleton, Dorothy Dugger and Marie Yaw. .

.Diaming mine uhciowi John L. Lewis alike, Federal Coal Conciliator F. H. Collisson said he had sought "constantly" to bring about contract negotiations since early December but that every effort had been fruitless. Collisson said these factors were influencing the refusal of either side to negotiate: 1. A desire not to start nego .-i i , ; rrtfyTrra and tiating until the Supreme Court hands down its ruling on a contempt charge against Lewis and the U. M. W. for calling last November's strike in defiance of a Court order. 2. Lewis' insistence on an industry-wide agreement, and the divorse interest of the mine owners. 3. The uncertainty over pending, labor legislation. The industry is hoping that Congress will outlaw the welfare fund demanded by Lewis. Collisson said it was his belief that none of these constituted a "valid basis for the unwillingness of the parties to enter into contract negotiations." County Farmers Are Urged To Join A. I.A.Early Many Sullivan County farmers as well as business men have been asking recently about the progress of the proposed Artificial Insemination Association. Progress may be noted by observing the thermometer in the front window of the Sullivan State Bank. This thermometer will be adjusted daily as to show the number of cows ' in the county which have been signed up in the association. The County Ag ricultural Extension Office an nounced that the thermometer will break when it reaches 1100 cows. Leroy Coplen of the Indiana Artificial Breeding Association, was in Sullivan February 27 and reported that they will be ready to start sending semen to this county as soon as Sullivan County's association is ready. He left a description of all sires being used at the present time and anyone interested in the blood lines which will be used and their production records, are invited to stop in at the County Extension Office and study the information. All sires which have been used have produced daughters which have shown a marked increase in butterfat over their dams. . This is a program in which well over 90 of Sullivan County dairy farmers could receive large profits. It is not particularly designed for the large dairyman, but for any farmer who is milking any number of cows. The goal is going to be reached before very long, so those interested are urged to enroll before it is too late. Females over six months of age may be enrolled in the Artificial Insemination Association. Farmers desiring more information may contact their township director or the County Extension Office in the Court House. Lowell Badger Takes First Place In Purdue Contest LAFAYETTE, March 3.
