Local Women To Be Delegates To Theta Sessions

When the 46th Grand Convention of Kappa Alpha Theta convenes June 15 at Banff. Alberta. Canada, several members from Greencastle will be in attendance. Mrs. Richard Kelly, president of Greencastle’s alumnae group, will be a delegate. Mrs. Joe McCord will also be attending. Mies Judy Samuel. Effingham. Illinois, president of the active chapter at DePauw: and Miss Brenda McCutchan, Lebanon, vice-president will be attending as delegates from the active chapter. The theme of this year’s convention, from “Ideals” to “Action in Fraternity,” will be carried out through workshop sessions, and speeches. There will also be time to enjoy the scenic grandeur of this beautiful spot in the Canadian Rockies. College Thetas and alumnae members have worked together for the good of others through three philanthropies. The sorority’s major philanthropy since 1M6 has been the Institute of Logopedics in Wichita. Kansas. To this center come children from all over the world for occupational therapy, and for help in speech correction. Almost three per cent are being returned to society with communication established. Participation in the Foster Parents’ Plan is a second facet of Kappa Alpha Theta’s philanthropy. Currently 18 foreign children are being helped by the sorority. The third phase of the sorority’s help for others is the Scholarship Program. Each biennium a $2,000 fellowship is awarded; annually six or more $500 scholarships are given; and loans to undergraduates are available when needed. All of these epitomize the ideals for which Kappa Alpha Theta was founded in 1870 here at DePauw. Lake 'Monster' Attracts Crowd SISTER LAKES. Mich. UPI — The “Monster of Sister Lakes” caused a mammoth traffic jam Wednesday night in southwestern Michigan. Area residents have been on edge in recent days since reports began circulating that the “monster” is back in the area. Cass County sheriff's deputies said the presence of the mysterious creature has been reported off and on for about two years. Mrs. John Utrup of nearby Dewey Lakes, Mich., told sheriff's deputies the beast chased her into her home Tuesday night and she said she was saved when her dogs barked and drove the “monster” away. Mrs. Utrup said he was nine feet tall and weighed 500 pounds. Other descriptions said it was covered with black hair up to its neck and had eyes that glowed like an animal that had a light shined in its eyes.

Labor Fights Roger Branigin INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Indiana labor union leaders today made a last-ditch stand against the , nomination of Roger D. Branigin for governor at the Democratic state convention Friday. The unionists also championed State Rep Robert L. Rock. Anderson, for the lieutenant governor nomination and fought for a liberal convention platform, including condemnation of the sales tax. a controversial levy ignored by the Republicans in their plaffSrm adopted two days ago. Noon is the deadline for candidates for party nominations to recover convention assessments already paid. Meanwhile, party chiefs conferred ibout the most painless method of depriving Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace of three presidential delegate votes he won in the Indiana preference urimary against Gov. Welsh, 9 stand-in candidate for President Johnson. Wallace captures the delegates from the 1st District by carrying Lake Coun-

ty-

The bigwigs apparently plan to have the state convention choose all delegates to the national ccnvention at large, under a rather-vaguely worded section of the state primary law. Their argument is that it will be impossible to persuade three Lake County delegates to put up $500 assessments just to go to the convention and vote for the Southern governor. May Visit Russia LONDON UPI — Unofficial reports circulated here today that Queen Elizabeth II may pay an unprecedented visit to the Soviet Union next year.

It has been more than 50 years since any British sovereign has set foot on Russian soil.

Local Dentist Closes Office One of Greencastle’s oldest and most respected professional men has recently announced his retirement. He is Dr. James A. Throop, Greencastle dentist for the past fifty-five years. “Doc” Throop says proundly, 'I've been in the same business longer than any other man in Greencastle. Others have been in business as long, but none in the same profession for so many years.” Not only has Doc been practicing dentistry in Greencastle for over half a century, he has also been in the same office at the corner of Washington and Vine throughout his career “Yes.” he reminisces, “If I multiply 350 days by fiftyfive years, it turns out that I’ve walked up the steps to my office around 20,000 times.” That too must be a record which Doc will long hold As a boy Doc lived in Carbon, Indiana. He later attended DePauw University for three years and then earned his D.D.S. from what is now Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis. Doc was the youngest man in his class at dental school. “In fact I had to get a permit to practice the first few months, because I was too young to get my license. There were three other dentists here when I came to town, but they and a lot of others have come and gone long

since.”

When asked about the changes made in his profession through the vears he commented, “Well, when I began practice we used the old foot powered drills and lathes. You had to pump them like an organ. Then electric drills came along and made things a lot easier and faster, but I still think the pedal type did a better job. We also used to pull a lot more in the early davs. because filling wasn't very effective. If a patient came in with a bad toothache, we pulleo it.” “The biggest single improvement over the years has been in impression making. At fir^t we heated up beeswax to make it pliable. It was okay but the impression didn't hold very well. Then vie used plaster of Paris which was a little better. The trouble with it though was expansion and contraction. If the mold was toe thick it would expand and the plate would be too big: if it was too thin it would shrink and make the plate too small. Finally they came along with a plastic cream, a pliabie but firm mold. It make? a pretty accurate impression ” Doc also recalls. “Saturday was always the big day for customers in the early years. That was tne only time the country folks came to town. Id have fifteen or twenty patients wait(Continueri on Page 2) GOP Governors Lacking In Zest CLEVELAND UPI — Most Republican governors, demoralized by political developments at the annual Governors’ Conference. had little zest today for the 1964 election campaign. Unlike the prospective majority of delegates to the GOP National Convention next month, only a minority of the 16 Republican governors want Sen. Barry Goldwater nominated for the presidency. They knew even before they heard from former Vice President Richard M. Nixon that the conference this week offered the last chance to organize formidable competition for the Arizona senator. Twelve years ago at their Houston meeting, the astute Thomas E. Dewey of New York lined up most Republican governors in a tactical move which led to the defeat of Sen. Robert A. Taft’s bid for presidential nomination. There was no Dewey on the scene this year and no candidate with the stature of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. who won the nomination from Taft at the 1952 convention. In 1964, four years after his two terms in the White House, Eisenhower seemed to be marching up the hill twice within a month against Goldwater only to march down

again.

WASHINGTON UPI — The Senate, operating under unaccustomed debate limits imposed by a historic cloture vote, pressed ahead today with a drive for passage of the civil rights bill within the next two weeks. Sena e leaders scheduled a 10 a.m. E,>T session and planned wholesale consideration of the hundred- of proposed amendments to the sweeping measure. Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn., predicted there would be 10 or 12 votes during the day. In a moment of high drama, the state voted 71 to 29 Wednesday to halt the southern filibuster against the bill— 75 days and nearly 9 million words after the tar-ranging measure was first taxen up. President Johnson, who was credited by the southerners with a principal role in fashionrng the cloture victory, said, “we are going ahead in our country to bring an end to poverty and racial injustice. We moved closer when we approved cloture in the Senate. . But the cloture vote did not mean the end of the rights battle. Final passage of the bill in the Senate and the House is ‘ still to come Humphrey said the final vote probably would come late next week — “if we re'lucky.” Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirxsen. HI., agreed that about two weeks would be required. Once again the bill's southern opponents held the key to when final action would be taken on the measure, though they held no hope for victory and little for easing the defeat. Their leader. Sen. Richard B. Russell. D-Ga„ promised a fight "to the bitter end,” but he concaded that chances of pushing through any significant amendments to the bill were slim.
