State Has New Egg Regulations

ROACHDALE BANK—In an old issue of the Roachdale News (no elate shown), several advertisements were in the form of poems. The following one on the Roachdale Bank is rather amusing and is quoted here: “Our own Roachdale Bank, As an institution takes a high

rank,

This old bank is a-s strong as Gibraltar, If you don’t bank there, you certainly ought to. Now Cline, Call or Hanna are all

alive,

They treat one courteous if they haven’t a five. Cashier Cline says one cam open an account, Big or little just any amount. Now Cline by all is known as . ‘Joe’, Everyone with troubles to Jo Cline go. And Nathan Call, who was a township trustee, ’Was a peach’ they say—take this from me. As for Miss Hanna—who has grown up with the bank, Is helpful to all be they big, tall or lank. These three officers of our home

bank.

Keep it safe and as such it has high rank. Yes, the Roachdale Bank is strong and sound. It is known for many miles around, No safer bank is anywhere found, Then our old bank-right here in

town.

PIONEER HUNTER—A Putnam County man, William “Big Bill” Hillis, was famous as a hunter when the buffalo roamed the western plains, and his reputation in this respect was nationally known. The son of George and Elizabeth Hillis, piomeer settlers of Putnam County, “Big Bill” Hillis addressed an audience at the Elks Club in Bridgeport Conn., on Feb. 10th, j 1911, at which time he related some of his experiences. A few excerpts from this talk, printed in the Greencastle Banner at that time, are related here.— ‘ Some folks are doing a heap cf lamenting because the American buffalo don’t roam around out West anymore, said ‘Big

earn a maximum of three credit

hours.

Inaugurated here in 1952, the student teaching session has become increasingly popular as a steadily-growing number of DePauw students choose to major in the field of education. Registration for the interim program will be held on Sept. 6, and DePauw’s first semester classes are scheduled to begin Sept. 19.

Five Men Land In County Jail Five men were lodged in the Putnam county jail Friday, four of them being charged with public intoxication and one for drunken driving. Fred Mosteller, 57, Greencastle Route 4, was the first to be booked at 4:30 p. m. He was taken into custody on North College Avenue by city police and slated for public intoxication. Raymond Adamson, 36, Route Four, was brought to the jail by state police at 5 p. m. on a public intoxication charge. Shortly after, two men came to the jail door and told Sheriff Joe Rolings they were looking for Fred Mosteller, “their lost buddy.” The sheriff said the two were Robert L. Shaffer, 64. and Orba H. Cline, 46, both of Lafayette. He booked them for public intoxication. At 10 p. m. state officers put Porter Mockbee, 55, of Terre Haute, in jail on a drunken driving charge.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

Two squirrel hunters from Indianapolis escaped injury but their auto was damaged on the blacktop road west of the W. D. James home at 5:30 a. m. Saturday. Sheriff Joe Rollings reported that Lon Carver, 55, lost control of his car on a curve and it came to a stop upside down. His companion was Leon Murphy formerly of this city.

Indiana consumers will have greater assurances of egg quality in retail store purcheses following adoption today of new sales regulations by the Indiana State Egg Board. The board approved new regulations in the state egg law that will require retailers to show on all packages of eggs sold after February 1, 1956, the size and grade. Advertising must also clearly identify the size and quality of all eggs offered for sale. Until now eggs could be sold and advertised without such information being given. Grocers may continue to still buy direct from farmers. Spokesmen for the poultry industry and distributive trades testified at the public hearing in the Purdue Extension Center, 902 North Madison Street. Several stated egg consumption will increase due to the regulation changes as homemakers will have more confidence in quality and Hoosier farmers will find expanded markets. No changes were made in the various classifications for the selling of eggs. Grade A continues to be the designation for the “freshest” egg, with Grades B and C identifying edible eggs of lesser quality. The egg law will continue to require that graded eggs be sold by the former sizes jumbo, extra large, large, medium, small and

peewee.

About midnight, the township truck went to the Putnam county fairgrounds where a large amount of straw was on fire.

Swine Day At Purdue Sept. 16 Damon Catron, swine nutrition specialist at Iowa State College, will headline a list of four speakers at the 35th annual Purdue University Swine Day, Fri-

day, September 16.

A 1938 graduate of Purdue, Catron is well known to Midwestern hog farmers. At Iowa State he has directed research on “least cost” feeding and crrly weaning of pigs, and has conducted numerous experiments with antibiotics and vitamin B12. He will speak on “Life Cycle Swine Feedi’-g and Production”

at the Purdue event.

Caton, a native of Howard county, Indiana, taught vocational agriculture in Indiana- for two years and later served another two year period as junior swine extension specialist at Purdue.

He will preach at 2 p. m. the first day of the school and at 11 a. m. each of the following days. Two other platform speakers are Bishop Donald H. Tippett of San Francisco and Bishop Richard C. Raines of Indianapolis. Bishop Tippett will address the group on Tuesday evening and Bishop Raines on Thursday even-

They deal with such subjects as contributions from the Old Testament to a Christian theology and the Christian education program of the local church. A typical day at the school starts with an 8:15 a. m. assembly at which there is a devotional address. It is followed by two class periods and a worship hour at 11 a.:, m. In the afternoon the ministers attend workshops and in the evening another assembly. The school is under the direc lion of Dr. J. Richard Spann, educational director of the Methodist Commission on Ministerial Training. Dr. Claude McClure of Indianapolis is dean and Rev. Wayne Paulen of Huntington is registrar.

paper.

Mr. McBrayer purchased the newspaper from William Fortune, former state treasurer, when the latter went into military service in World War II. The publisher prior to Mr. Fortune was T. E. Houston, who served in that capacity for 40 years. Mr. McBrayer, a retired minister, will devote his time to completing books on which he has been working for some time.

it was a case of the buffalo or the farmers.’ The greatest bufialo range in the country was onee where the state of Nebraska is located. The folks a cornin’ from the East had to have room and the bison had to move. There are several privately owned herds of buffola out through the west and it is possible to domesticate them in small herds. What would people say if they saw a herd of three million buffaloes passing in front of their house in the fall and the spring of the year, when the bison were either going north or south with the season.’—T have seen millions of the big fellows myself and one of the largest herds ever known in the west was seen in the late seventies moving south. The herd was a mile wide, and it took just twen-ty-four hours to pass a given point, a great huge sea of animal life and a wonderful sight.”—I reckon that whole herd would about cover the state of Connecticut and flow over into the state
