THE LARGEST INSURERS OF AUTOMOBILES IN THE STATE OF INDIANA

School News (Continued from Page 1.) Grades 3-8 will present various music activities at the next P.-T. A. meeting. Three soloists from the high school choir, Phyllis Campbell, Joyce Armstrong and Bill Engle will also sing. The second grade in Miss Liebenderfer’s room have been studying a unit on Holland. In correlation with this, the children have made a Dutch freize on the board under the direction of Mrs. Bowers. '

Dr. T. A. Hanna was at school Wednesday morning to give the teachers physical examinations. The law requires physical examinations and X-rays for tuberculosis be given to teachers every three years. The fifth grade art classes have been experimenting with newspaper and colored paper. They have made “make-believe” animals with fancy coats of bright colors and grotesque expressions. These animals will be exhibited at the school April 9-10. The members of the junior class are completing plans for the annual junior-senior reception to be be held at Hotel Antlers Saturday evening, May 12. Lynn Williamson’s Variety Serenaders are to provide the music. Joyce Armstrong has received a state scholarship to Indiana University and Jacqueline Schaeffer received a special merit scholarship to Indiana University.

Style Notes Larger crowns Is spring hat news. Newest combination is beige with black. Evening dresses stress a swishback movement. It’s chic to wear a flower hat with your winter furs. Combs and ornaments for the hair play an important role. Flat heels and sensible lasts have become a popular city fashion. Reversible toppers are heralded as an important fashion for spring. Especially processed woolens can now be washed without harming color, texture or fit. All pinks, from lightest to rich raspberry shade, will be very much in the limelight this spring.

Marred Monuments By GEORGE S BENSON Plrttl J*nf of Harding Co 11 ego Searcy. Arkansas

THE MOST pathetic piece of statuary I ever saw was a 92foot image of Raineses 11, flat in a jungle, shy an arm and a leg and aD but lost. It weighs countless tons.' Uprighting it baffled Egyptian engineers for centuries. I am no art critic but I was impressed, most of all by the skill and devoted craftsmanship still showing on the weathered stone. Its helplessness was depressing. Monuments resemble reputations. They can be damaged beyond repair by commonplace things, soon forgotten. Storms too trivia] to have a name can, in a few hours, undermine huge foundations and leave stalwart landmarks buried in dirt There are only two factors involved, whether yon view it literally or figuratively: How sturdy is the structure, how storm? Fadad LOOKING with a sort Names of pity at the supine figure, a relic of Moses’ day, my thoughts raced back to a well-learned chapter of American history. As a youth I almost at over Andrew Johnson, a y great man. Before he was many years dead, the things he advocated were proved, in the light of actual events, to be sound and right. But Tennessee school children were forgetting his name. By birth a Southerner and by allegiance a Democrat, Johnson was an independent thinker who wanted the United States to stay all in one piece. He wanted to carry cut most of the policies that A. Lincoln had established,

Our Boys and Girls InService (Continued from Page 1.) son dismounted from his tank and armed with a rocket launcher, approached the first enemy tank under hostile 88mm and semiautomatic fire, firing upon it and causing it to move into such position that it was destroyed by friendly tanks. Second Lt. Gregson, still Under enemy fire, rapidly moved to within 30 yards of the second enemy tank and destroyed it with two direct hits. As a result of this act the attack was able to proceed and the objective taken. Second Lt. Gregson’s gallantry under fire reflects great credit upon himself and the military service. Entered military service from Indiana. Lt. Gregson has been mentioned in War Department releases, and this will be used April 6, 1945 on the program “Behind the News” sponsored by the Central Indiana Coal Company and heard over station WISH at 5.45 P. M. daily. Folks let’s all listen in to one of Speedway’s lads. Lieut. Gregson was employed at Allison’s before entering the service. He arrived in France last August, 1944. We are very happy to report that Pfc. Frank Morton has been released from the hospital in England. He joined his old outfit again about March Ist. We say, “Good luck, Frank.”

“In the Easter Parade?* There is a Brightwood woman, No need to name; With her boys every Sunday morning To church always came. So on Easter Sunday, Dressed up so fine— They hurried, hurried, To be on time. Now mother had spent hours the week before, Going from store to store, To buy the right hat for her son Dick, For a ten-year-old, he’s a cute little chick. In the rush Dick got the hat from the bag. Mother was busy with Bobby, who wanted to lag. But boy they madfe it right on time, By taking the cross-town line. The services were over and they started home, And the new hat by the wind was blown, And when they got it Imagine mother’s dismay; Dick had worn his father’s new hat, To church on that Easter Day! Not So Dumb He: See that big substitute down there on the bench? I think he’s going to be our best man next year. She: Oh, darling, this is so sudden!

but ho couldn’t Maybe Lincoln mid have succeeded with the 1865 poet-war problem; maybe ntbady could. History shows only a great man’s reputation disfigured. History IN MY high school Repeats years I had imagined that President Johnson’s fate was primitive, too crude for my enlightened time but not so. In a few years it became our unhappy lot to watch Woodrow Wilson, one of the grandest characters America ever produced, racked on the same bed of torture: post-war prejudices, a hostile Congress, a divided party, and a few traits open to ridicule. President Johnson had amazing foresight and a will that would not be walked on. We know that now But his place in history was carved for an obstinate, unsympathetic crank. President Wilson had vision unclouded by prejudice, vision that over-reached his century. But Wilson’s contemporaries called him a dreamer and painted out a name that should have brightened America’s annals. Through lenses fashioned from the past, we can watch history repeating itself with alarming fidelity. Storms lower again over post-war problems. National figures with international ambitions are liable to forget their responsibility to the representatives of the people. We face another unpredictable struggle. We may as well prepare to see some images fall never to rise from the silt of oblivion.
