A FRIENDLY CRITICISM Mrs. Hess says the article about her vacation, in the first issue of the Tabloid, nearly caused her a heart attack., She is willing to take the blame for writing too much. But, knowing her as you all do, you remember how she loves company. The part of the article that was left out was—“ She enjoyed the back porch as much as she would have a vacation, for everyone worked and everyone played. All reported a good time.” Now she has been threatened by relatives and friends that they are going to have that article framed end hung on her front porch as a warning that she is becbming an old grouch. Do be careful what parts of manuscripts you omit. \ A0 BY 1 I Fa “> W. BRAUN / cy© ite There are two things that you should give your children —a good example and a good education. A good example is also a safe example. Recently I bed a very strange experience. I saw a young child, whom I had jUst overheard tell his mother that he had been instructed not to cross in the middle of the block, suddenly and literally yanked off the sidewalk in the middle of the block by' his parent and marched across the street. That kind of example belittles the safety effort and the safety idea in the mind of the child. Set the right and the safe example. Geranium Known as Herb Geranium in its wild state was known as an herb. It is supposed to commemorate the deeds of Robin Hood and still more believe that it commemorates Saint Robert, the founder of the Cistercian order. Robert was supposed to have cured Ruprecht’s plague. One of the earliest versions of the geranium was that Mahomet washed his shirt one day and hung it out to dry on a lavender mallow. When the moisture evaporated the plant changed to a geranium.

BIG CROWD AT COUNTY FAIR ON SCHOOL DAY EDUCATIONAL DAY BRINGS BIGGEST CROWD OF THE WEEK Approximately 5,000 school children marched in a gigantic parade of color as the feature of “Educational Day” at the Kosciusko county fair. The parade about twenty blocke long, took almost an hour to pass the reviewing stand. Nine bands took part. Prizes were awarded for the groups with the best displays and for the school with the largest percent of its enrollment present. Warsaw was not eligible to compete for the second prize. Sidney won first place for the best display and second place went to Claypool. The Wayne township schools were given honorable mention. Judges for the displays, were Guy Roberts, Olive Raymond and Edward Wigand, of Jacksonville, Fla., members of the troup of entertainers booked for the free acts at the fair. Sidney’s display was novel and unique. The school colors of orange and black were carried out. The grade pupils were in the vanguard decked out in hats and beating toy drums. A bridal couple in full dress, with a ring bearer in the lead, was in the line. A bit of circus touch was added with a clown and the “Wildcats” were depicted with a kitten in a cage. Teachers and bus drivers wore large stove-pipes and a group of girls were in Dutch costume. To top things off the pupils broke out, spasmodically with a cheer for Sidney. Claypool’s display consisted of orange and black hats with a ruffled edge and each student carried a stick on which a balloon was attached. The Wayne township schools won honorable mention for uniformity in having each pupil in a tall-pointed hat. East Wayne wore blue with white trim and West Wayne had red with white trim. The parade was led by state police officers on motorcycles. Paul Bilby, program director, was next in line on horseback, followed by the members of the board of education in a body. The Etna Green band was at the head followed by the Etna Green pupils. The other schools then came in alphabetical order by townships. Bands as they appeared in the parade were Etna Green, Claypooi, Beaver Dam, Mentone, Silver Lake, Syracuse, Milford, Pierceton and Warsaw. Because a traffic jam was experienced on West Market street, beside the merchants and manufacturers tent it was impossible to route the parade down to Lake street as had been planned. For that reason the parade went up the Midway to Center street and then by the reviewing stand in front of Stephenson’s. The parade was so long that the head was back at the corner of Indiana and Main streets, before the Warsaw pupils who had assembled there, were marching,

SPORT SLANTS (Continued from Page 1) trict in the final game. A numerous amount of Milford's ball players are basketball stars. We are sure that we could place at least one, possibly more, on a north section all-star team. Miller at third and LeCount catching. Benett of North Webster, was the best pitcher in this district. Tribble was the best first baseman. Hilt, of Pierceton, was the best left flelder. Phelts was a very good defensive fielder and every once in a while swung a wicked war club. Next year’s club should be stronger, if they can get a real power hitter, and some defense instead of errors. GIRLS’ SPORTS Every noon many girls of all ages gather at the volley ball court. This is such an interesting game that even some of the boys play it. But there are other girls that stick to the good old sport of baseball. They gather way over on the other side of the field and play. Some are and some are not so good but from the sounds of the exclamations that come across the field they all have a lot of fnu. Miss Burcaw has reported that this winter girls will choose up teams for basketball and play at noons and evenings. She also stated that there might be a class tournament, so you seniors that ere out of practice will have to hurry some, especially to beat those sophomores. FOOTBALL Warsaw Defeated by Valparaiso 32-0 The powerful Vikings down Valparaiso way turned on the heat ano piled up 26 points in the first half of the game. Wide end sweeps combined with some beautiful blocking piled up these points. Warsaw held the victors to six points in the last half however. They failed to penetrate the Valparaiso defense enough to score. This marks Warsaw’s third defeat in four games. Elkhart Over Laporte 30 to 7 The Blue Blazers of Elkhart, drove their way to victory over the Slicers of LaPorte. They piled up 30 points to the visitors’ 7. Manchester Defeats Earlham 20-7 Urged on by two thousand howling fans attending their homecoming, Manchester tore into Earlham with vicious line attacks and piled up a total of twenty-seven points to the visitors’ zero. Manchester scored in the second, third and fourth quarters. Ball State Takes Central Normal 20-0 Led by Jimmy Phend, former Goshen boy, Ball State defeated Normal, scoring in the second, third, and fourth quarters to pile up their score. North Manchester has not been defeated on her home field in the last five years, winning 19 games. Manchester will tour to Buffalo, New York, Friday. Watch for an upset between Purdue and Minnesota. Indiana tangled with Illinois last week. Both Tim Bringle and Bill Tipmore, former Elkhart players were in the Indiana-Ohio State football game.

Washed in Wine In Elizabethan days, ladies of the court washed their faces in wine to improve their complexions. Buildings Where Thames Flowed Before London’s Victoria embankment was erected, the Thames river flowed over ground where scores of buildings now stand. Presidents From Poor Families Nine Presidents of the United States were born to very poor families. The others were born in varied circumstances, mostly middle class folks. Washington became one of the great landowners of his day. Abraham Lincoln entered the White House almost penniless, but since the Civil war most of our Presidents have been men of moderate means.
