ELKS Ladies Party Night Thurs., Oct. 31 Dutch Lunch PRIZES-PRIZES-PRIZES

Hello, again, from Cloverdale High School. It seems so soon but already the six weeks have ended, and I have two weeks news for you. Of course, the first news is about the initiation we had. The week was full of excitement as many Seniors came displaying cords and unusual paddles; and the freshmen, of course, displaying their beanies. The freshmen also performed many tasks throughout the week, mainly on Friday; such as carry, ing books, singing songs, eating certain delicacies, duck walking, hopping downtown, holding hands, and doing many other novelties thought of by the seniors. Friday night was also stunt night with such events as clothes races, egg tosses, shaving races, girls eating pickles from between guys’ toes, and, for our black-list guys, some interesting activities while wearing diapers. During school on Friday the “Greenies” wore costumes and portrayed different characters. These were judged and groups winning were the “bungling ballerinas”, Alvin and the Chipmunks, a Prima Ballerina, and a giant baby and a tiny mama. Probably the high-light of the initiation was at the dance when the queen and her court were crowned. Last year’s queen, Pam Jordan, handed her crown down to Christina Surber. Chris’s attendants were Nancy Stevens and Rita Davidson. Thus the dance was ruled by great beauty. Continuing the preparation for the basketball season along with varsity cheerleaders, Portia Collier, Diane Denny, Pam Jordan, Joyce Shrader and Patti Ziegle-

Masonic Stated meeting of Morton Lodge No. 469 F. & A.M. Friday November 1st at 7:30 p.m. Book presented as memorial of O. D. McCullough The book, “Memoirs, Sixty Years on the Firing Line,” by Arthur Krock has just been given to the Greencastle - Putnam County Public Library in memory of O.D. McCullough, by his neighbors. Arthur Krock, three times Pulitzer Prize winner, was political reporter for the New York Times. He says, “The purpose of.this book is to portray the men of government as he has known them in the context of great events -- watching them at work from a close point of vantage and intimate association.” He has been closely associated with eleven presidents. Arthur Krock has been a remarkable political thinker who expresses his views on history from experience. His anecdotes, assessments and interpretations make fascinating reading. The book, “Pioneer America” by John C. Alden was also given to the Library in memory of O.D. McCullough, by his neighbors. This is a good one-volume work on American history from the days of the American Indians through the Civil War. It is a readable picture of the way our ancestors lived, of the religious and educational heritage they brought to America and the hardy and pioneering spirit which carried them in the westward migration.

Dear Sir: In regards to the article, The Awful Truth About the U.S. Post Office. Why not get up an article on conditions of Mail Boxes, throughout Putnam County, and then get in touch with UPI or AP news as it is Nation Wide. 11 is a disgrace as the condition of U.S. Mail Boxes, as to size and height, Names and Addresses, some do not have Names and Addresses, some don’t have doors, some are one size and some another size, some are one height and some are another. I don’t see how a Mail Man or his assistant can deliver the mail in such out dated mail boxes, with no names or R.R. No. I can easily see how a mailman can become confused, and place the wrong mail in the wrong box. Some boxes have Flags on them, and some do not. Some of the flags work O.K. I do not know if the Mailman when he picks up the mail, and the flag is up, as to whether he has to see that the flag is in a down postion. The Assistant to the Mailman gets on the route, only during the Mailman’s vacation or when he is on the sick list. Therefore, I can’t see how the Assistant is able to deliver the mail and sort it if there is no name or address on the mail box. Now the article I had in mind is in the October Issue of Readers Digest, on page 107; If I may be of further assistance to you I live in Manhattan, on the North Side of 40 where the American Flag hangs on the front porch 24 hrs per day. Keep Smiling, Herman W. Baker Need women to train The United States Army needs young women to train in Air Traffic Control, it was announced by the Army’s Recruiting Main Station in Indianapolis today.

DEAR HELOISE: Because an accident happened today that could happen to any little child. I'd like to share our solution to prevent it from occuring again. Our little grandson had pulled out the bottom drawer in a tall dresser and climbed onto it to reach something on top of the dresser. The weight of the open drawer, together with the boy’s weight, caused the whole dresser to fall on top of him, pinning him painfully. The mother couldn't lift the dresser off the boy and screamed for help \\ hich fortunately came quickly. So that this kind of accident would never happen again, we got a strong hook and eye and screwed the eye into a studding in the wall about an inch below the top of the dresser. Then screwed the hook into the dresser frame and literally "hung" the dresser to the wall with all four feet planted firmly on the floor, of course! Grandma S. * * * What wonderful a d v i c e, Grandma. Thank you muchly. Your Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: I'd like to shale my method of emptying the drip tray when defrosting my refrigerator. I happen to have an old shampoo spray with hose. After removing the spray head I had a perfect siphon. I just set a bucket on the floor, placed one end of the hose in the tray, sucked on the other end to get the water started and ran it into the bucket. Sure saved lots of spills. Ruth Biebei * * * DEAR HELOISE: When filling salt and pepper shakers . . . Take a paper napkin and crease it half way. Then place it open on the table. Pour salt or pepper onto the napkin, catch each side and tilt it. The salt or pepper will slide right into the shaker without spilling a drop. S. P. 4 # * Hon, you are right. I’ve used paper napkins hut sometimes they are hard to handle. I get better results using a three-ineh square of aluminum foil. I ean handle it better ’eause it's kinda rigid and it holds the shape I bend it in. Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: This is for the mothers of young boys. Don't throw away their pants stretchers when they get in their early teens. I still use them for those slim cut trousers that all fashionable young men are wearing today. (Unfortunately not all trousers that they purchase are wash 'n' wear). So, even though they are wearing men’s sizes, those small boy’s trouser stretchers ai-e the only ones that fit into the narrow legs. Sure saves lots of ironing. Mrs. R Schnierlein * * * Ever tried using them for your own slim pants? Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: I use crushed cheese crackers as a topping for my macaroni and creamed casseroles. You get the cheese flavor without using the cheese. Less expensive, too. Jane P. * * * DEAR HELOISE: I have an old-fashioned sink with a strained-basket stopper. The rubber on this dries up and hardens, allowing the water to seep out gradually. I nowhave a way to stop it, thanks to a suggestion by my husband. Take the plastic top off a coffee can. Run enough water into the sink to submerge the basket, then let It start to run out. While it is running out, place your plastic top, edge

dmi'H. over the basket. The suction will suck it firmly into place. NOW fill your sink with the assurance that the water will stay in until you are ready to drain it yourself. OI<l-Tim**r sk * ik DEAR HELOISE: When your bottle of window cleaner gets low and the pump won’t draw the eleanei out of the bottle, attach a plastic straw to the bottom stem of the pump to lengthen it. Then it will draw out every drop. Shelly Age Id

—Bishop ‘I don’t give a damn what mouch it is, my boy is going to have Christmas when I get home. Tell you something else--rm having Christmas with him.’We talked of war and peace and his inability to resist running up to the front lines to tell each platoon what was expected of it. ‘If you explain it to the kids, they understand. Hell, they’ll go out and execute the order. I’m always afraid that some captain or lieutenant won’t tell it straight’ He was a hero’s hero without consciously trying, but he couldn’t understand why the brass despised him. He left me, and the half empty bottle, and carried the tree under one arm and a bag of baby toys under the other. ‘Imagine having a kid at my age,’ he said. We both laughed. They brought him back to action in Korea. Chesty Puller led the U.S. Marines all the way up the bowling alley to the edge of the Yalu. General Douglas MacArthur had promised to send “the boys” home for Christmas, but they were caught up there by a gigantic Chinese “volunteer” army which seeped through the passes and cut the men off. Puller waited for orders. The word was to try to retreat through the mass of Chinese and rejoin the main forces. The general cursed. Then he passed the word to cut the heart out of anyone who tried to block the Marines. They did. He walked beside the lead tanks and he led them back through a sea of shrieking Chinese. It was a textbook retreat, but a retreat. Chesty Puller was retired as a lieutenant-general. Years later, he testified for Drill Instructor Matthew McKeon, a soft-hearted platoon commander who tried to punish his “boots” by marching them through the oozy boondocks at night. Six drowned. Puller’s legs brought him baack to Parris Island to testify in favor of vigorous discipline, even in the face of a tragic accident. Puller studied the complete record and said that McKeon was a good sergeant; a good Marine. That night, the general officers invited Puller to a formal dinner. He declined, and drank beer with 600 NCO’s at their club. After that, Puller retired to his home. I never heard of him or his baby again. Last week, an Associated Press dispatch opened: “The Marines at Da Nang said Tuesday that Lt. Lewis B. Puller Jr. lost both his legs in a booby trap explosion and has been awarded the silver star.”...

—Bayh Marvella Bayh and Jill Ruckelshaus each has campaigned for her husband’s election almost as furiously as the two candidates themselves. Each has foregone wifely preference to be part of her husband’s campaign most of the time in order to spread the family representation over the entire 92 counties. “We leave notes for each other in filling stations where our campaign trails cross,” Jill laughed.
