They re mixing 'em up this spring Smartly styled sport coats and soft-toned slacks are spring's best style bet! And it's a wise idea to own two or three shades of harmonizing or contrasting slacks with one coat it gives you a variety of outfits at very little cost. Sport jackets are $10 to $18.50. Slacks are $4.00 to $10 00. Mighty little to pay for styleleadership! , ('iHillOll'ft The Men s Store

Lawr nee Acton is ill at his home east of the city v. ith measles. The condition of Mrs. Kenneth Keller of Plainfield who is ill remains

about the same.

Mrs. Ada Myks, Cloverdale Rural Route returned to her honie Wednesday from the county hospital.

Robert Whiteman, assistant state supervisor, was a visitor in the of- | lice of Dr. W. M. McGaughey, city ; and county health officer, Wednesi lay morning, gathering information j and vital statistics for an index i guide. When the guide is completed 1 a printed copy will be sent to evoiy i city and county health officer. The vital statistics project of the | Works Administration is p:epnring| 1 this guide of public statistic records i for Indiana. This volume will list and locate all vital records in the state offices, counties, cities and i towns of Indiana and should prove ! to be u valuable handbook and refer ence for all persons having occasion i to consult records concerning bir hs, 1 deaths, marriages and divorces. Dr. McGaughey is assisting th--r< presentative from the State Boar.! of Health in making a complete record of births, etc., for the county index and he asks the coopei atio>i of the public in older to make the records more complete. The county records begin with the year 1882. He stated that in September 1926, there was only one birth recorded In Putnam county. For the original files in the state there were sixteen b rths recorded for that month, but it is believed that there were 25 to 30 births, and consequently some have not been recorded. Therefore, Dr. McGaughey asks that all persons in the county bom in that month and year send him information so that the records may be more accuiate. Birth certificates first must be sent to the county health officer by the attending physician and recorded in the county books. Then the original certificate is forwaided to the state where it is placed on

permanent file.

For certified copies of birth or death certificates there is a charge of $1. However, there is no charge for investigation of the records and making entries of the births or deaths if the party concerned will communicate with the health officer. The public guide book when completed, should prove to be an important cross-reference of vital statistics information and should assist in the search for vital records necessary for social security, industrial employment, and national defense.

He made a plea in his address fo: a “triune faith” consisting of “a be lief in a spirit-God who can make Uv best of the worst and who holds mer responsible for cooperation with Hin in his redeeming and creative pro cess,” "a belief in the essentially spir itual nature of man," and “a confi dence in a redeeming agency which can mediate God’s spirit in the live of men.” Meetings of the conference were opened this morning by a regular Wednesday morning worship chapel at which President Clyde E.

INDIANAPOLIS —The sympathy ami foresight of two Indiana women has brought hospitalization, treatment and hope for more than 200 sick or crippled children of their home counties in the last 18 months, it was disclosed today at James Whitcomb Utley Hospital for Children. Seeking a continuing method of ' aiding children of their less fortunate neighbors, Mrs. Mary D. Cain, of Franklin county, and Miss California Schell, of Owen county, provided in wills probated at their deaths several years ago that special funds should be set up at the institution perpetuating the memory of the famed chil-

dren’s poet.

The funds became operative July 1, 1939, and here is a part ,01 the records they have left; A child born blind now is able to see with the aid of glasses. A child who seemed doomed to ‘a lifetime of helplessness following infantile paralysis is showing (gradual improvement with hope

j A wide variety of children’s -ailments have been treated ,’hrough the funds left by Mrs. * ’ain and Miss Schell. From July (,1, 1939, to December 31, 1940, (24 children were admitted to Riley Hospital from Franklin 'county and 78 weos -admitted from ]'Jwen county. During the same , period 83 children were treated as out-patients of Riley Hospital. Owen county children received 198 out-patient treatments. Franklin county children totaled 660 patient days In the hosp tal and Owen county children 1,831 patient days, i Accomplishments of the two ! funds were cited as evidence of ; ■ 'onerosity and foresight on the Jpurt of the two donors.” ! Hugh McK Landon, president of the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association, financial sponsor of bequests to the hospital, commented that “Mrs. Cain and Mir\ Schell left behind them perfect memorials in their home counties. Hundreds of children long will remember down through the years that health and happiness ■ nme to them through the kindlitess of a sympathetic benefactor." Mrs. Cain left a fund of *23,10.00, the income of which was be used for tho aid of underivilegod children in Franklin, mnty. In a similar way Miss, obeli left *18,000.00 for the aid, f children in Owen county. Everybody reads The Banner.
