Annual Tri-State Calf Show at Evansville Saturday, September
24. Kenneth Lamb, twelve-year-old Haddon Township 4-H Club member, showed the Champion calf of Indiana and Reserve Grand Champion of tHe show. Kenny's calf, which was formerly Grand Champion of the Sullivan County 4-H Fair, weighed 965 pounds and was purchased by Ed Fehn, owner of the Evansville Courier. Kenny is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chancey. Lamb, R. 3;Carlisle. Lee Coulson, Hamilton Township 4-H'er, was county winner of the Beef Achievement Award for Southwestern Indiana, which is a trip to the International Livestock Show held in December at Chicago. This trip is given to the two boys and their fathers who have the most outstanding beef calf record. Lee has- shown beef calves for four years and has steadily improved. This trip to father and son is sponsored by Purina Mills. T Sullivan County placed fifth in the show .with their group of five calves. They will receive a $10.00 award from the Ohio Valley Soybean Co-operative. All together, the county made a very good showing with their twenty-four calves. There were five blue ribbon winners, seven reds, seven whites, three yellows and two throwouts. Other blue ribbon winners be-, sides Kenny Lamb - were John, Tom, and Lee Coulson, the latter having two calves. Red ribbon winners were Lucile and Lloyd Huff, Turman Township; Tommy Springer, Gill Township, with two
calves; Carole Wampler, Turman
Township; Billy Monk, Turman

At 2 a. m. Sunday, most communities adhering to Centra: JJaylight Time generally know: as "fast time" set their cktck: back one hour. This change ap jlied to most Central and Northern Indiana cities and towns hich elected to go on CDT last
May.
For most, it meant the end of
a "confusion period." Most trans
location sysiems adopted tast
time. But the state and local
government operated on slow time, regardless whether the community was on fast or slow time, and most cf Southern Ind iana, 'traditionally against summer fast time, stuck to CST. The 86th General Assembly
meeting last winter, . adopted a
"tooth-less" law requiring governmental units to stay 01 standard Time. A few offices required by law to maintair certain hours, did abide by the law. But a majority of the state government offices defeated the spirit, if not the letter, of the law by keeping their clocks on Standard Time but operating as. if they were on Daylight Time.

County Gets Settlement For Bridge Damage The County Commissioners have reached a settlement with the, Bituminous Casualty Corporation over damage to a bridge on a county road, Jesse Bedwell, county attorney, has announced. ' Mr. Bedwell said that the county will receive $3,500 from the company for the damaees
and that the amount will pay the cost of repairing the bridge and the approaches.
The damage occurred on Jan.
24, 1949, when a big truck haul
ing oil drilling equipment damaged the bridge and abutment on the Hiram Drake road in Fairbanks Township. Luther Garrett was driver of the truck which
was owned by the O. H. and S.
Trucking Co., Ind.
The commissioners had authorized Mr. Bedwell, as county
attorney, to bring suit against the bonding company for payment of
the damages. The suit was not
filed when the bonding company
agreed to the settlement.
Four of the five House conferees said in advance that they would go along with the Senate in voting $1,000,000,000 to help rearm the Atlantic pact nations. The original House measure carried only $580,495,000 for those countries. Change Plans. They made it plain that their willingness to accept' the larger Senate figures was dictated by President Truman's announcement that Russia has exploded the atom. ' The overall Senate bill, Including aid for Greece, Turkey, and the Far East, provided $1,314,010,000 against $819,505,000 voted by the House.
Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex.,, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Chairman John Kee, D., W. Va., of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, indicated they would press for quick conference action,' perhaps by tonight. ' Connally said " the Russian atomic explosion undoubtedly had strengthened his hand in a fight to put into the final draft of the measure the full $1,314,010,000 spending authorization approved by the Senate. "Pact Nations Aid. As requested by the administration, the Senate included in its draft of the bill a flat $1,000,000,000 in military aid for Atlantic pact nations in Western Europe. The House, in a rebellious mood, cut this item to $580,495,000. Including aid for five other free nations, the House bill totalled $819,505,000. , Both Connally and Kee indicated that President Truman's announcement of the Soviet A-blast might well have broken the back of the economy demands.

Welfare Board Meeting Turns
Into Souahb!
What started out as a routine meeting of the Sullivan County Welfare Board Friday night turned into a squabble with two of the new members trying to, first, force Mrs. Mayme Kaiser to resign her post, and second, appoint a new director of welfare without the formality of firing Mrs. Kaiser. The meeting was supposed to deal strictly with welfare cases with no business to be considered. It didn't end that way. Two of the three new" members came into the meeting with written instructions on what action they should take and what they should say. One of the first things to come up in the meeting was a motion, wrongly put, to ask Mrs. Kaiser's resignation. Mrs. Kaiser refused and told the board they would have to fire her. She said she absolutely would not resign. That seemed to confuse two of the three new members. Then ona of them offered another motion, this one to name another director "for six months" without doing anything about Mrs. Kaiser. That would have given the county two
welfare directors. ' . Then the two members became even more confused and one of them suggested that the circuit

WADESVILLE, Ind., Sept. 26. (UP) Authorities today sought "Tarzan" burglars who robbed the Farmers Bank and Trust Co. of $84 in silver and fled when tear gas choked them. Cashier Homer Wenderoth discovered the burglary at noon
yesterday. Police found that the burglars had climbed a tree, swung to the roof of the building and cut a hole in it. Inside was evidence that a
vaulf door was cut with an aacetylene torch. The cutting released tear gas, forcing the robbers to flee. They grabbed a counter tray containing the silver and the contents of eight safety deposit boxes.
Authorities believed the gas
kept the burglars from opening a
safe inside the vault.

The Ford UAW negotiators were reported as almost reaay to take up the vital subject of pensions after clearing up non-economic issues. Negotiations to settle the coal strike were at a complete standstill. They were broken off until Thursday and it appeared that Lewis was taking his time in 'lopes that a steel settlement wou'd be reached quickly so that he could use it as a lever in his own squabble with mine owners.

Before a director-is named, for a welfare board, he must be approved by the State Welfare department. Should a non-eligible person be named, all Federal aid and state aid to the welfare board would be . immediately stopped. Since the Federal government pays 50 per cent and the state 3Q per cent of all welfare money used in the county,, stopping of state and Federal aid would soon halt all "welfare .payments here. During the last election some of the recipients of welfare received letters from one of - the candidates for judge. Curiously the list was exactly as it appeared on the lists in the welfare office. Such lists are, by law, confidential, and the welfare board is trying to find out how they were obtained. The new members of the board are Mrs. Hannah Murray and Miss Lulu Williamson, both of Sullivan, and Ray Newkirk, of Pleasantville. The holdovers are Will Thompson, of Sullivan, and William Stafford, of Carlisle.
