ESSAY CONTEST (ronllniiril From I-iiiro Onr> allotments of supplies allowed schools of the same size. This allotment might be to large or two small, depending on other conditions in the community. This, too, would lead to

waste.

The trustee might easily be termed the “handy-man” of his emmunity. He is assessor, poor-relief administrator, chief school official, and he takes care of sheep claims and dog taxes. For all these responsibilities he receives a comparatively small salary. With consolidation one person would be employed for each of these duties with a regular salary. Such persons would not be as efficient as the trustee unless they were citizens of the local community. Thus, considering the official salaries alone, home rule by townships is much more economical. Unless we wish to become merely a cog in the wheel, subject to the whims of strangers who do not know and who can have no idea of our own particular requirements, we must not submit to any plan for centralized or | consolidated township government.

ISSUE TAX NOTICE INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 25, (UP) — A notice to owners of all tax-exempt property that they must pay property taxes on equipment used in selling intoxicating beverages after March 1, 1987 will be issued by the state board of tax commissioners, it was announced Thursday. The ruling comes as result of problems which arose after Daviess county tax assessors assessed tavern room equipment of Elks, Eagles and Knights of Columbus homes in Washington, Ind. At that time the state board relieved the fraternal organizations of paying the tax this year.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo„ (UP) — C. T. Hunt, 67 year old mechanic, says he is developing an automobile which will use air instead of gasoline and be refueled by highway jolts. Hunt has completed the motor. It is driven by compressed air. He believes his invention will revolutionize the motor industry. “The engineers said it couldn't be done because they didn’t get it out of their books,” Hunt said. "And they didn’t get it out of their books because it wasn’t in them. But I did it, and now they’ll put it in their books.” Hunt plans to make the first practical test of his invention this month. He promises to put his first skeleton automobile powered with the air driven motor on Springfield streets at this time. His first car will have a light steel frame only 4 feet long, 26 inches wide, with a “skeleton” body. It will have a maximum speed, he predicts of aproximately 14 miles an

hour.

Hunt’s motor has a tiny, fiveeights inch piston with a four and one-quarter inch stroke, anti a weighted flywheel mounted on a small axle to which the piston is attached. When Hunt turns the valve on the compressed air tank, a plunger releases half a pound of compressed air from the tube leading from the tank into the cylinder housing the piston. The half-pound blast of air shoves the piston down, and the fly.vheel, weighted with five pounds of metal on one side, turns over. As the piston returns to the top of the cylinder, the plunger releases another blast of air automatically, forcing it down again and keeping the operation continuous. The plunger which releases the air into the cylinder operates on the same principle as a match stuck into the valve core of an automobile. Hunt believes he can harness the car’s bouncing to pump air into the

tank.

To each of the four corners of the car’s frame, a pump will be attached with a tube leading from it to the air tank. When the car hits a bump, the raising of the frame will raise the plunger from the pump, sucking air into it. As the frame settles back, the bump plunger will force the air into the tank, Hunt believes. And if there aren’t enough bumps

Since their birth May 28, 1934, the Quins never have had their parents and all their brothers and sisters together with them at the same time. They were hostesses to their family at a real Christmas party this year. While the Quins entertained their guests, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, their physician and guardian, spent his first Christmas away from them. He ■ made his usual morning call at the nursery and then remained away for the rest of the day. Dr. Dafoe will bo featured today on an international radio network. He will tell how the Quins spent Christmas and give a special Christmas message to his listeners. The broadcast was direct from the study of his Callander home. The Quins had presents for each to their three sisters, and their three brothers received scarfs, gloves and toys. What the famous girls intend giving their mother and father was a
