Tills is the third of a series of f four articles written by Bill Hays about the Dart V Arrow Canteen. On April 17, 1946, there was held the first annual meeting of the members of Youth Recreation, Inc. and of the Board of Directors of that Corporation. At these meetings, new directors dllU UiULtHS Ui U1C V,U1JJUIUIJUII were elected,' the Corporation s having had it's articles of incorporation amended in the meantime, to permit the election of nine directors Instead of six. The new directors and officers that were elected at these meetp ings were the ones that hold office at present with one exception to be noted hereafter: Directors Joe W. Anstead, Eugene F. Springer, D. H. Brown, Wal- ! lace B. Springer, Bill Hays, Wenf dell Tennis, C. E. Fisher, John S. Taylor and Miss Rita Kearney; Officers Bill Havs. President: Eugene F. Springer, Vice Presi dent; John S. Taylor, Secretary; and C. E. Fisher, Treasurer. The C arrangement with Mr. Takats to act as supervisor of the Dart 'n Arrow, was continued in effect.

some public criticism of the Dart 'n' Arrow. The Board of Direc- ( tors of Youth Recreation, Inc. made an investigation of the matter and discovered that a centain number of the canteen the canteen endeavor in two r respects: urst, tneir conduct in and around the canteen particularly drfnking in the vicinity of the canteen; second, there was a, general lack of willingness amonz the canteen members to Vfcoanerate with the , supervisor and with the, Board of Directors of Vkje Corporation in solving the financLrand maintenance- problems of the canteen, which lack of cooperation seemed to indi cate a lack of interest in the canteen's future except as a casual meeting place. Comments made to members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation by some of the par Ante i-f AQnf Jan mamhare ! cated a lack of confidence on the part of parents in the whole activity, xne iioara 01 directors of the Corporation held and still .holds the opinion that the Dart 'n' Arrow cannot undertake, the responsibilities of foster parent of the children and that, except while the children are upon the I canteen premises, the Dart 'n' J Arrow, it's supervisor and the f Corporation, cannot be responsible for the morals of the canteen 1 members; it is believed that this problem is that primarily of the members' parents. -"The Board decided, therefore, to close the canteen indefinitely, pending an adoption by the parents and by the children of a policy and attitude concerning the canteen which would include a greater interest on the part of both' of these groups in the maintenance and operation of the canteen. It was decided to reopen the canteen only when the canteen members should give adequate assurance that their conduct would not thenceforth bring discredit on the canteen and when the Darents should

decide not to "pass the buck" for f the morals of their children to if the Corporation or the canteen I supervisor. V The canteen remained closed x from June 3rd, 1946, 'to about 1 September 10, 1946, when it was re-opened by the Board upon t petition by the canteen members, who promised thereafter to conJ duct themselves in a proper

Mr. Takats being unable "to devote further time to the canteen as supervisor, Mr. Kenneth Orr, of this city, was employed as supervisor of the Dart 'n' Arrow. Mr. Orr has performed excellent work in his capacity as supervisor from September 10 until his recent resignation (necessitated by his moving from town). At this time, it was decided to have the canteen open only three nights a week instead

HOUSE KILLS i f . atr wrws 1

TEN DOLLAR INDIANAPOLIS. Mar. 5 (UP) The ten dollar a year "soldier bonus" bill died in the Indiana House of Representatives today. Speaker Hobart Creighton, R., of Warsaw, did not call the bill down for the third reading by twelve noon thereby allowing the deadline set by the Senate to pass. ' The Senate said it would not consider any House bill that was not sent to the upper chamber by noon today. Speaker Creighton ruled as out of order a motion made yesterday by Representative George Hurr, R., Indianapolis, to force consideration of the bill. Thus the bill lost its last chance to become a law. And Hoosier exservicemen lost their final opportunity to get a bonus of any kind from the 1947 Legislature. The ten dollar "bonus" act was a bill to give former ex-soldiers an extra $1,000 exemption in making State Gross Income returns.. Previously a resolution calling for a referendum to determine whether . eighteen - year - olds should vote was blasted out of a Senate committee where it was scheduled to die. Senator Clyde Black, R., of Logansport, forced the bill out of a committee headed by William Bates, R., of New Albany, who said the committee did not see fit to report it out. . The resolution passed 1 both Houses of the 1945 Legislature, and the House this time. Ifmust pass the Senate for a referendum on the question of reducing the voting age to eighteen.

Each contestant presented a well-prepared, original speech on this timely subject, and each was well received by the entire mem- ( bership of the Rotary club. , Mr. Assessor You One Of i There'll be a man coming to your house one of these days. He'll have a briefcase, and he'll knock. But, he won't say, "open the door, Richard." He will want you to open the door, though, so he can ask you some questions. If you want to make his work a little easier, co-operate with him.- He'll ask you how much your furniture is worth, he'll want to know if the radio in the front room is the only one you have, and he may look at you a little funny when you tell him the piano belongs to your sister, and you are keeping it for her. Oh yes, that old car that sits out in the garage must be listed, too. It may be some ten years old, and it may wheeze when you try to drive it, but you must tell the man about it If he doesn't see Rover he may not get the dog on

V.A. To Continue On-Job Training On-the-job training programs in several thousand Indiana concerns will not be discontinued March 1 as the result of an extension granted by the Veterans

Administration Central Office in I Washington,. The VA ; Regional Office recently notified the concerns that their training programs might be interrupted. j - Burl Miller, VA Chief of Vocational Rehabilitation & Education Division, explaned that the i extension will . not eliminate the discontinuance of programs which do not meet the standards of the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs State Approval .Committee, but means that the training programs will not be interrupted or discontinued solely ' because they have not been reviewed. Several thousand veteran j trainees would have been without subsistence checks from March 1 until such date as the program could be reviewed and re-certified by the Indiana State Approval Committee. Public Law 679 which placed a ceiling on the total income of veterans receiving subsistence from the government also provided that all training programs j be reviewed and re-certified if meeting the new standards for approval. The VA has been cooperating with the State Approval Committee in the task but a shortage of manpower in both departments prevented its completion by March 1. Thus far approximately 7,000 training programs have been reviewed. . Fairbanks Twp. Othel Pound, assessor; Ray Drake and Herman Drake, deputies. Gill Twp. E. B.
