As I understand it, there is no law presently in effect in Greencastle requiring that these helmets be worn. This is not going to win any popularity contest with the younger set, but in the long run I believe that most of th|em will, upon reflection, thank you for it. I am convinced that wearing his helmet kept our son, David, from having quite serious head injuries in addition to his other painful and incapacitating injuries which he suffered in his recent accident. This is written in the hope that it will keep someone from being seriously or perhaps fatally injured. Thank you. Mrs. Marjorie Beck

INDIANAPOLIS DPI—Four school buses from Salem Collided at a traffic signal on U. S. 81 Friday as they hauled groups of students to Indianapolis for a day at the legislature. Two children were hurt but neither required hospitalization or treatment One had a slight leg injury, the other complained of neck and back pains. The accident happened when the four buses, traveling in a caravan from the Salem Community Schools, approached a red traffic light. The front three buses stopped, but state police said the fourth rammed into the third, shoving it into the rear of the second which, in turn hit the rear of the first coach. Damage to the buses was estimated at about $1,700. Dozens of children riding in the buses were shaken but otherwise unhurt.

The altar of the chapel was simply decorated with a candelabra, with single candles on each side. Palms completed the atmosphere placed at each side of the chapel. The bride, given in marriage by her father, was gowned in a short, mint green lace dress which was trimmed in mint green satin. A satin pill-box hat of mint green secured the shoulder length veil. She wore white gloves which held a cascading bouquet of white glamelias. Serving her as maid of honor was Miss Deborah Lynn Geabes. She was fashioned in a light beige wool dress with lace sleeves. Matching lace composed her headpiece which was a bow. She carried a petite cascading bouquet of yellow glamelias. Scott Alan Lewis, friend of the bridegroom, served as best man. Following the wedding a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert O. Patton, guardians of the bridegroom. James F. Zeis, 639 East Walnut Street, is the father of the bride.

(Marion Township Continued) The Regular Baptist Church was the first organized in the township. This was done November 25, 1826, at the house of William Denny, by Carter and Charles Hunter and wives, Thomas Broadstreet, Enoch Stone and wife, William Nicholson and wife, Isaac Monnett. They finally built a house of worship on the farm of Carter Hunter. The Missionary Baptists were organized about 1841. Elders Jones and Arnold were among their first preachers. They have a good frame church, called Bethel, two and a half miles southeast of Fillmore. The first meetings of the Christian Church were held at the houses of Charles Knetzer | and Ambrose Day. This was j before the organization of the I Church, which took place about 11839, and a building, known as about 1839 Old Union, was erected on the farm of Ambrose Day. John M. Harris was the first preacher, followed by James M. Mathews, Gilbert Harney, and many others. They have a Church in Fillmore, which was erected soon after the town was laid out. The Methodists organized a Church at what was called “Denny’s Schoolhouse,” at a very early day. John Denny was an active, zealous member of this congregation, and it became quite a flourishing Church. In 1838, meetings were held at the houses of Matthew Brann and others. Rev. Owen Owen, Davis, Hancock, Forbes, President Simpson and Prof. Cyrus Nutt were the first preachers of this organization. The first Methodist Church was built on Section 16, and called Mount Carmel. After the building of the new church in Fillmore, Mount Carmel was given or sold to the Regular Baptists. Soon after the erection of Mount Carmel, another Methodist Church, named Liberty, was built on the farm of Abbott Robinson, in Section 11. This building remained until the congregation erected an elegant frame building, in 1871, on a lot given for that purpose by Morris Oliver.

Fillmore, the only village in the township, is on the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad, six miles northeast of Greencastle. It was laid out in 1852, by Benjamin Nicholson, James Sill and Leonard C. Catterlin, on land then owned by them, but formerly forming a part of Richard Sinclair’s farm. The first store In the town was kept by Hardin & Brown in 1852, followed by Benjamin Nicholson, Hardin Wilcox and Moses T. Bridges, general dealers; and William D. Smith, who kept a grocery and provision store. Mr. Bridges did a great deal toward building up the town, having erected a hotel, and in many other ways added to its prosperity. At one time Fillmore had two general stores and two drug stores, one blacksmith shop, a cabinet shop, a steam flour and grist mill, and a post office. There are, also, two churches, one Christian, the other Methodist The Missionary Baptjst formerly had a church at Fillmore, and their building was once as the schoolhouse. Bryce Miller taught the first school in the township, at iiis own cabin. He afterward taught at the neighbors’ homes a favorite place being at John Smith’s in what was called a three-faced camp, open in front and btlllt with logs on the other three sides. This stood on Section 16. The next was a three-months school, taught by Alfred Burton in a log cabin in Section 29, that some one had built for a dwelling and then deserted. This school was broken up by a man named Nat Hammond, who, becoming dissatisfied with the school, went one night aftd pried down the chimney. The first school-building was erected on the farm of John Denny, jn Section 28, about the year 1828, and was known as “Denny’s Schoolhouse.’’ John Evans taught the first school in this house. He was followed by Lawson D. Sims and Thomas C. Duckworth, who taught the first “six-months school” in the

township.

O. Tate. The safety lesson was given by members. After the business meeting, all signed a birthday card to be sent to Mrs. Charles Crodian, who had been ill.

Home Economics Teachers Meet 6 The Putnam County home economics teachers met for their third meeting of the year at four o’clock, Monday, February 13, in the Greencastle Senior High School home economics department Mrs. Ben Jones, the guest speaker, explained the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Stamp Program. The farmers of America grow more food than we eat or export Yet, some Americans have poor diets because of low Income. These families may exchange the amount of money they could normally be expected to spend for food for coupons worth more; thus improving their nutrition. The U. S. Government pays for the difference bewteen the amount each family pays and the total value of the coupon it gets.

All prayed the club prayer, after which Mrs. Fred Lewman read from Ideal magazine: "Friendship,” “When You Get On,” “My Purpose,” “When You Need A Friend,” and “Lincoln and the Valentine.” Mrs. Lewman then asked each one present to tell something of George Washington. After the contests, the president read the club courtesy.
