POLICY

The DePauw Little Theater has instituted a new policy today whereby permanent reservations may be made for all Thursday night performances. The Little Theater took this action so that persons desiring to see the shows regularly on that night may have a priority on seating. Reservations made on the blank in today’s paper will hold the same seats automatically for the bearer for each

production.

Holders of theater season tickts may fill out the application and return it to Dr. Herold T. Ross Speech Hall, within the next week. Thereafter, tickets will be placed automatically on reserve at Sam Hanna's bookstore before each performance. Kids' Day At Park Saturday The third annual Kids’ Day for Putnam county youngsters, 6 to 14 years of age, will be held at Robe-Ann Park Saturday. This event is sponsored by the Grcencastlc Fraternal Order of Police and associate members. Supervised contests and other entertainment are promised the boys and girls. The police organization will also furnish lunch for the young folks. A new record in attendance is anticipated as last year's turnout exceeded the first Kids’ Day. The outing Saturday should see even more children present as the event has increased in popularity each year. Veto Seen On Farm Measure

DISCUSS OPENING OF U.S.O. DRIVE IN COUNTY

SEALS STARTS NOVEMBER 21 WARD MAYHALL CHAIRMAN OF ANNUAL COUNTY

T. B. CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12 (UP) Democratic leaders complained today that a Senate-ap-proved restriction on crop imports is so "terrible" it may provoke a presidential veto of the

whole farm bill.

Sen. Walter F. eGorge, D., Ga.,

the Senate champion of the reciprocal trade program, told newsmen he believes President Truman would refuse to sign any

bill with such a provision. Senate Democratic leader

Scott W. Lucas, Ill., agreed that the amendment might give Mr. Truntan grounds for a veto. He said its adoption was a “terrible thing.” He expressed hope that the provision would be

eliminated from the measure

when it goes to conference with

the House.

The provisions, sponsored by Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, D., Wash., would prevent the State Department from writing any trade agreement which would allow a foreign country to dump its surplus crops into the U. S. market in competition with

American products.

The Senate is considering farm legislation, drafted largely by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, D.. N. M. It would establish a permanent system of farm price supports ranging from; 75 to 90 percent of parity on basic crops.

The Putnam County Tuberculosis Association held its Seal Sale meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p. m. at the College Inn. Ward Mayhull has been appointed county chairman of the 1949 Christmas Seal Sale to be conducted by the T. B. Association from November 21 to Christmas. The purpose of the Seal Sale, part of the nationwide 43rd annual Christmas Seal Sale, is to raise funds for the work of the Tuberculosis Association, which has conducted a tuberculosis control program in the county for a number of years. Dr. James B. Johnson, president of the association presided during the meeting. The executive board, township chairmen were present at the meet-

ing.

Seal Sale supplies were handed out to the county chairmen by Mrs. Norman Peabody, executive secretary. She announced that $3,000 was Putnam county's

quota.

Mrs. Geneva Berry, county health nurse explained the county health program for the school year. She explained the patch testing program outlined by the association. The test will be given to grades first, sixth and ninth. An education will be conducted in each community as a part of the Parent Teachers program before patch testing is done in that area. A strip film on patch testing will be shown and Mrs. Clotildc Sanguinet, director, health education, Indiana Tuberculosis Association will cxplain the test to the parents. Miss Pauline Smith, city school nurse, reported for the city schools. The next chest clinic will be held at the Putnam County Hospital on November 16. Dr. Russell Henry will be will charge of

the clinic.

Diabetes may strike at any age, although it is most common

The most susceptible to diabetes are overweight middleaged persons, partciularly women, with a family history of diabetes.

They drove away south on Jackson street road in a hurry, Taylor told police. He said he noticed that when they left there were no license plates on
