Greencastle businessman Edgar Prevo today was named benefactor of a $300,000 gift to his alma mater, DePauw Univer-

sity.

The surprise announcement before approximately 2.500 alumni and friends attending a special Old Gold Day (homecoming) convocation was made by President William E. Kerstetter. The President said the nearly one-third of a million dollar gift will be earmarked, at Mr. Prevo’s request,, for the Univer-

sity's planned science building.

“Because Mr. Prevo is a local merchant known to us all,” the President told the audience, ‘because he is a DePauw alumnus, and because just a few days ago he walked into my office and made a gift of $300,000. I am sure you all will agree that I should ask Mr. and Mrs. Prevo. who are with us today, to rise and enjoy

the deep appreciation of us all.”

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

From files of 1894: The party given last evening i June 8, i by Kappa Alpha Theta it the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Bridges was a most delightful affair. The many guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Bridges and daughter and Miss Emma Roehl. and then they oassed into the beautifully festooned and decorated rooms. The lawn. too. was lighted up. ma with the settees and hammocks arranged here and there Impressed all of an ideal place for such a party. Sweet strains af music from harp, violin and Mute continually poured forth fr.nr, the balcony which overlooks tne lawn. Many visitors were pw-sor-: and they, tog*thsr with the other guests, pronounce it the most successful and enjoyable party of the kind

given this year.

Coal is being mined in Putnam County, and yesterday a wagon load passed through the city to H. H. Hillis’ quarry, where he is using it in his engine. It comes from Wm. Wright's farm, four miles north, west of the city. Andrew Shoptaugh. east of town, is also mining coal on his farm.

The Banner Times has been •ughly complimented this week over its full and complete resorts of commencement. Tills taper, in fact, compares favorably with the best countrydailies in the state, and is in a position to furnish the local news in full. Our telegraph service also is of a high grade and we ask the patronage of the Greencastle people. The daily for summer will contain many features of interest, and parties leaving the city for the warm season can have the paper follow them anywhere at ten cents

By Acquisition Government hostility toward corporate growth by acquisition was rapped here today by the president and chief executive officer of one of the nation's largest corporations. John E. Swearingen, head of Standard Oil of Indiana for sLx years, said the government s current hostile attitude “is not likely to lead either to certainty in economic affairs or to respect for the law itself.” Swearingen was among four prominent American business executives receiving honorary Doctor of Laws degrees at a DePauw University convocation. Honored with him were Colonel Henry Crown, chairman of the executive committee of General Dynamics Corp.; Herman Krannert, chairman of the board of Inland Container Corp., and Alfred E Perlman, president of the New York Central Railroad. The convocation at the 128-year-old private liberal arts institution this morning was focusing attention on a field to which it has contributed a numbei of now distinguished graduates. The corporation is our society’s principal mechanism for creating wealth, Swearingen pointed out. but he emphasized the government has been reluctant to support and encourage corporate profitability in this capitalistic democracy. “Once the essential role of profits in a nation officially dedicated to individualism and a free economy is conceded, one comes close to an admission that a very great number of things the government has been doing for a long time arc simply wrong.” “The logic for punitive taxation. for over-regulation, for governmental competition with the workings of the economy, largely disappears.” He said the great marvel of our economic system is not that it has been so productive but that it has done it in the face of “persistent governmental attempts to tinker with it” and “throw it off the track at every’ turn.”

NEW ORLEANS I PI — Three devastating tornadoes spawned by Hurricane Hilda struck through the l.a Rose, l.u., area south of New Orleans today shortly before hurricane winds smashed into the low-ly-ing roast. NEW ORLEANS UPI — Hurricane Hilda was expected to batter into the Louisiana coast with 120-mile-an-hour winds before noon and head across the swampland to brush New Orleans. Hurricane winds were predicted as far east as Mobile, Ala. On the coast, only empty ghost towns waited. Their residents — shuttled out by car. truck, bus and freight car — were packed into inland shelters. The giant storm 400 miles wide focused its core on an 80-mile stretch of coast southwest of New Orleans between Morgan City and Grand Isle. New Orleans is 50 miles from Grand Isle. The weather bureau, which earlier called Hilda one of the most powerful hurricanes ever seen in the Gulf, said New Orleans would feel the fringe of the storm, and ordered hurritane warnings raised for more than 200 miles of coast from the Mississippi River eastward to Mobile Bay. Ala. Winds had risen to 6U miles an hour at Houma, 35 miles inland. by 2 a. m. Houma is about 10 miles from New Orleans. At last report, the storm was 165 miles south-southwest of New Orleans and about 155 miles from the nearest land. It wus moving northward at six miles an hour. Weather forecasters said they expected it to veer to the northeast and pick up speed in the next few hours. The slight shift in course took some of the pressure off the Hurricane-scarred coast of western Louisiana,
