That the present protection in Putnam county, and the other counties of the southern zone of Indiana, on foxes may be removed is indicated by a hill which is to be introduced in the legislature by Senator Perry II. Inman, of Winslow. Senator Inman said the bill was suggested by conservation and sportsmen's clubs in southwestern Indiana, where the animals have become so numerous as to cause loss to fanners. The department of conservation now has control of the protection afforded foxes, and that department arbitrarily set a zone limit across the state, in general. north of which there is no protection ami south of which there has been protection. Foxes are reported in Putnam county to be so numerous now that they are annoying farmers by killing chickens especially, and in some counties are destroying small lambs and. pigs.

WEED CONTROL TAUGHT BERKELEY, Cal.. (UP) — The University of California has opened a course in weed control. The reason is that it is estimated losses by weeds amount to $60,000,000 annually in California and about $3,000,000,000 throughout the United States.

One hundred and forty-nine men and one woman, of various ages and walks of life, compose the law-mak-ing body now sitting in Indianapolis. What they will do will affect the lives of virtually every citizen of the state, yet we venture that only a | snrall percentage will pay any attention. or take any interest, in the proceedings of the 80th general assembly. People are like that. They lake their legislatures and their public officials as a matter of course until their toes are stepped upon. The new governor has expressed a desire to find some way to decrease automobile accidents. His interest in highway safety is not new not some thing cooked up for public consumption. Mr. Townsend means it. Few people know that Mr. Townsend is responsible for the yellow or orange color of school buses a color selected to warn travelers that the buses j contained school children. Back of

this is a story.

Aproximately 15 years ago when Mr. Townsend was superintendent of Giant county schools he asked drivers of school buses to report to him any infractions of th< traffic laws by motorists which endangered the lives of the children. He requested the auto license number of the offender. It was not long until a number was tur ned in to him with the report that the driver had passed a school bus

when it stopped to unload.

Mr. Townsend checked with the i state auto license department and ; found that the license had been is- ! sued to an executive of a widely known oil company. Mr. Townsend ! wrote the man a letter and invited him to stop at his office. The man came ami was told about the viola- ! tion. He remembered the incident, 1 but explained that he had driven i many miles that day and was tired and anxious to get home, and that he had gone around the school bus without recognizing it as such. He !

had not wilfully done it.

Mr. Townsend believed the man was honest and that he had passed the bus unaware of the precious load it carried. Had he known, Mr. Townsend felt sure that he would have stopped. Why not then paint school buses one universal color- so |

orange was most easily discernable along a road. Mr. Townsend so informed the bus maker and had all Grant county school buses painted yellow. That was a starter and other bus people fell into line. Yellow is the predominate color of school conveyances on Indiana's highways today. Undoubtedly many lives of little children have been saved by this safety color scheme, thanks to Mr.

Townsend.

How to cut down the number killed on Indiana highways is a problem. Mr. Townsend is open to suggestions. He is ready to back legislation if convinced that it wall stop people from killing themselves. Undoubtedly this legislature will go farther [ than any other in creating traffic

This stumped him. hut he decided to consult some authority. A letter to the war department brought the belief that yellow or
