The vessel went aground in Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, Va., and sits high in the water in this bow view. Several attempts were made to float her again, and some conjectured that the large expense of refloating the ship might in rence Uncle Sam to abandon her in her plight, before she finally was dislodged and floated into deep >.ater.

i: II .»■£. It is an unfortunate truth that many serious illnesses might have been averted if people did not attempt self-diagnoses, but consulted a doctor instead. For self-diagnosis is often self-deception. Too many people shrug off persistant aches, pains, nausea, faintness, and other supposedly minor troubles as things of no consequence. But these minor irritations are often the danger signals of approaching major illness. So play safe! Consult your doctor when symptoms show persistent or recurring tendencies. His advince may ward off serious trouble.

HEW SLANT Washington Feared Colonists Lacked Virtue To Triumph George Washington was beset by terrible fears that the colonists could not win the Revolution and that they probably didn’t deserve freedom anyway. This conclusion comes from a letter he wrote his third cousin, Lund Washington: <d “Dear Lund . . . I cannot deny myself the comfort of unburthentag my mind to you. I know the goodness of your heart “Heaven knows how truly I love my country; and that I embarked In this arduous enterprize on the purest motives. But we have overshot our mark: we have grasped at things beyond our reach: it is impossible that we should succeed, and I cannot with truth say, that I am sorry for it because I am far from being sure that we deserve to succeed. ... I would rather be even as I am than tamely crouch, whilst chains were fastening round my neck; for there is not, in my estimation, so vile a thing upon earth as a human being who, having once enjoyed liberty, to patiently bear to see it taken from him. On these principles, and these only, I first took up arms. “I knew not that I would be appointed to this high station only to be disgraced and ruined, till about the middle and latter end of last February; when, contrary to my wishes, I found it necessary that we should come to open hostilities against our fellow subjects. . . . There are not a hundred men in America that know our true situation; three-fourths of the Congress itself are ignorant of it; yourself excepted, there lives not a man at all acquainted with my peculiar circumstances. The world looks upon us as in possession of an army all animated with the pure flame of liberty, and determined to die rather than not be free. But, you know how remote in my judgement all this is from the truth.”

I REMEMBER... > By THE OLD-TIMERS ■' From Mrs. James C. Gaffney of Herington, Kan.: “I remember when the older generation used to put fresh straw under their ingrain carpets, which were tacked close up to the mop boards. The new velvets of .today have nothing on them for comfort as you walked across the room.” From John Jarvis of Geneva, Hl.: “I remember the days before automobiles had gasoline gauges, when we would poke a ruler into “ / ILL SES IF.VOIZRE OUT ) F the gas tank to see how much gasoline we had left.” From Mrs. Mary Stewart of Chicago: “I remember when most holnes had folding’ doors between the sitting room and dining room. I never could understand why they called them folding doors because they were doors on rollers which slid in between the walls. The parlor usually was shut off and used only for holidays, a visit from the preacher or to lay out the dead.” From Gardner Campbell of Wakefield, Mass.: “I remember when fast bicycle riding on the sidewalk was called, ‘scorching* and the subject of attention by the ‘constables’—i. e.» if any were around.” From Robert H. Sedgwick of Chicago: “I remember the days of •century riders* — cyclists who would round out 100 miles on a Sunday. Some broke down and returned with water in their tires; some got ‘cricks’ in their knees and, unable to pedal anymore, wobbled back any old way.” (How about your memories of days gone by, old-timers?

Friday afternoon the “Melody Four” entertained the students from both the grade and the high schools. The program lasted about an hour. The fee was 10c each. Parents were welcome also. Everyone enjoyed it very much. Over 100 pupils attended the High School Party in the Gymnasium Tuesday night.

Ruth is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Houser of Pleasant Grove, and she was born in 'Garrett, Indiana, on June 19th, 1932. She has lovely light brown hair and blue eyes. Ruth has sepnt all twelve of her school years in Syracuse and her most outstanding memory of all is the Operetta in her Sophomore year. She plays the French horn in the band, and plays the piano beautifully and is often called upon for accompany work. Ruth has a lovely second soprano voice and sings in the chorus and did a marvelous job in the trio at the Warsaw County Chorus. Her favorite sports are skating, swimming and basketball. When we asked her what she favored in the way of dates she replied, “I prefer boys, but I won’t tell- which She is very active in church work for the EUB church, and is a leader of the young people there. A lot of the success for the Easter Sunrise Service for the Joint church teenagers was due to Ruth’s efforts. In our Junior Play, Ruth took the part of the very competent Miss Holt, and she did this part to perfection. * Her favorite song is “Star Dust,” and her favorite singer is Vaughn Monroe. She thinks all the teachers are swell and rates English as her best liked subject. Her favorite food is cream puffs, and just listen to her favorite sandwich - tomato, mayonaise, peanut butter and pickle, all in one. Her pet peeve is people who brag, and her 4iobby is sewing, and playing the piano. Ruth started to work quite young and has already completed seven years at the Harkless Gift Shop. After graduation, Ruth wants to train to be a medical secretary or a Laboratory technician. Mrs. Paul Sink and son, Jerry, took her son, Paul back to Purdue University, Sunday evening, and spent the night in the home of her sister, Mrs. Cleo DeCamp, returning home on Monday.

liy v V Im " J Mgmwuwlm The Sluffing Sector rIOSE INTERESTED in the slugging side of baseball should now turn to the West coast Ted Williams came up from San Diego but

, they have two I younger men inhabiting the PaciI Ac’s slope who may I pick most of the laurel this new season. One is Ralph Kiner of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the other is Luke I Easter with the

g

Grantland Rice Cleveland Indians. It so happens .that Kiner has passed the 50-home-run mark twice. “Reaching the 60 mark is a different story,” Ralph tells yon. “Hank Greenberg and Jimmy Foxx found that out and both could hit the ball a long way. Once you get into the 50 zone, 1 guess you begin to overtry as the days begin to run out. The Babe never bothered. He Just kept swinging.” Kiner is still a young ballplayer. He should have his best hitting years on ahead. He takes good care of his physical fitness and be has a workshop where he keeps the equipment needed to strengthen his grip and wrists. His ball club fell apart last year and this didn’t help him a lot. Actually no one thinks about beating the Babe’s old mark of 60. It may happen some day as 58 has been tied twice and 56 has been reached on two occasions. Greenberg, Foxx, Hack Wilson and Kiner have been the four main challengers so far. Now Hank Greenberg enters Luke Easter, the San Diego giant, as another likely challenger. Easter is around six feet four, and weighs some 240 pounds. “Beyond that,” Hank says, “he has what you might call a home run swing. I mean by that a full, free swing—the type that Babe had. I believe Easter can hit the ball as hard as Ruth did and drive it just as far. He may not be able to do this as often, however. Easter will be a Cleveland rookie and you can’t expect too much of him the first year. I believe his power will still win many a game for us and either bring Cleveland in as a pennant winner or at least one of the leading challengers. You can’t afford to crawl too far out on the end of a limb for a rookie, but I’ll go quite a distance for Easter.” As Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio are West coast entries, this gives the Pacific a big edge in longdistance wallopers. They will have most of the crop. Give DiMag 130 games and he may outslug them all • • • Big Coast Game Red Blaik’s Army team is headed for the West coast next fall to start an entanglement with Stanford. They are already rating this one of the big games of the 1950 season. There’s pretty fair reason for this rating. With Pollard, a Los Angeles product, playing in Army’s backfield, the West coast experts figure Army will have one of the star backs of the season. At least he made a big name in a hurry at Loyola, where he played only a year before heading for the far-away banks of the Hudson. I’ve heard nothing but boosts for the ex-Loyola halfback. Add FoUard to Bob Blaik, Stephenson and Cain and yoq get one of the best backfields Army ever sent into a football melee. You can always bank on Red Blaik and his staff for a fast-charg-ing, hard-hitting«defensive , platoon. So if the expected takes place, Army will again have one of the strong teams of the country—possibly the strongest with so many veterans leaving Notre Dame. “But don’t figure the 1950 Stanford squad will be easy for anyone,” a Stanford grad said when the discussion came. up. “Marchy Schwartz had a fine sophomore crop this last fall. All they needed was experience. They got plenty of that Also I could say that Stanford’s freshman team this last fall was the best in many years. Palo Alto will be packed with high-class football players. This should be the best Stanford team since Clark Shaughnessy turned out the bunch that had Frankie Albert & Co. It will be big, fast and three-deep. And by the time of the Army game it will be well seasoned.” • • • Joe Louis and 1950 Just what plans Joe Louis has foi the rest of 1950 is anybody’s guess —including Joe’s. But you can enter one sure answer—if Joe fights again, it will be a morbid spectacle that only the morbid in heart would care to see. In recent months Louis has been working beyond exhibition purposes to get back in shape. He has been doing road work of fair proportions and a certain amount of gymnast- . um boxing. Floyd W. Gingerich, doing business Plumbing & Heating, has filed an action in circuit court against Mary E. Holloway, for foreclosure of a mechanics lien. The plaintiff sets out that the defendant owns a property in Syracuse where the plaintiff agreed to furnish and install plumbing and heating equipment and fixtures, for which he states he has not been fully paid. ’The plaintiff asks judgment of $622.33 with Interest.

Sara Case Says: Many limbs are down, around Wawasee, some had to be removed to make passage-way. Well, we’ve had a lot of water here, but Big Lake, about twenty miles from here, has been reported as having water in several houses, up to the bottom of the windows. Last Friday, about 2 p. m., some close harmony, was heard by a passerby, on the street of the High School building. That class should have gotten good marks in music, it was thought. The Scout display in the Northern Ind. window, shows a lot of work and ingenuity by a lot of Boy Scouts. The ‘Bell Ringers’ show at the High School, last Friday was very enjoyable with it’s amusing moments, and it’s really sweet music of the bells. Some blue-gills and other small fish were blown z in over some Wawasee sea walls, recently, but not enough for a fish fry. Fish-biting activities must have moved quite a ways down the channel past Macy’s Slip, last Sunday, for that’s where all the cars were. A store building on South Huntington Street, has an attractive front. There has been some painting and decorating done, and the windows with their Venetian blinds, and lighted advertising with an illuminated clock above on the’store front, give an added lift to the street.
