AUTOMATION — A machine laying a gas pipeline fascinated Mary “Bunch” Francis, columnist of The Westville Indicator. Describing it she wrote: “Zip, a trench is dug. Zip, the pipe is put in the trench. Zip, the trench is filled with dirt. It. would take a big crew of men days to do the same thing.” Then, she added, “Os course, man has to invent and operate the machine so the work could not be done without man and his brains.” NOTED HOOSIER — The city of Lawrenceburg has taken steps to refurbish a monument that acclaims an illustrious citizen. The monument in a city park was erected to honor James Buchanan Eads. It has been repaired and brightened up and is now a fitting tribute to Eads, an extraordinary inventor and engineer. Eads was born in ' Lawrenceburg, May 23. 1820, and received his early schooling there before moving to St. Louis with his family in 1833. He was famed for designing and building the Eads Bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis, a marvel of engineering when it was opened in 1874. During the Civil War, President Lincoln commissioned him to design and build iron clad gunboats for the Union forces. A tablet on the monument proclaims him as “The Only Hoosier and the only engineer in the Hall of Fame in New York.” CAREER JOURNALISTS — Two Hoosier journalists are rounding out long careers this year. William Hunt, in his 88th year, has been editor of a LaPorte County weekly, The Wanatah Mirror, for 63 years and Mrs. Charles (Alvie) Narwold has completed her 52nd year as area correspondent for The Batesville Herald-Tribune. Mrs. Narwold started her career at the age of 14 by contributing items from the Jolly Center community. Neither Mr. Hunt nor Mrs. Narwold give any hint of retiring. SLOW DOWN - In the editorial column of The Johnson County News, there appeared this pithy paragraph: “Middle age is that period of life when you can do as much as ever, but never do.”

Ready-To-Use Infant Formula Developed
A new convenience for mothers — an infant formula product that is ready-to-use as it comes from the can — is being introduced nationally this summer. The new . product, called Ready-To-Use Enfamil, is ready for baby’s feeding simply by opening the can and pouring the contents into a sterilized nursing bottle. No formula mixing or heating and no refrigerated storage of formula are required. In nutritional breadth and balance the new product, developed by Mead Johnson Laboratories, is said to be ‘‘nearly identical to mother’s milk.” Convenient for Use in the home, it is expected »to be even more helpful when traveling: all that is required to prepare a feeding, in the car or at Grandma’s, is a sterilized bottle and nipple, an 8-ounce can of the new formula, and a can opener. Because no additional water is needed, it is also expected to solve the problem of traveling mothers who find their babies have difficulty tolerating formula prepared from different, water supplies.

FILMS AVAILABLE — A. Wchure describing a series of general interest films has been published by the Indiana Motor Truck Association, Indianapolis. These films deal mostly with transportation, highways, safe driving and one particular film entitled “I Witness Report” details the healthy business and industrial climate for new businesses herq in the Hoosier state. These films are available to any group without charge. HOOSIER BACKGROUND-Ore of the most famous harness horses of all times is Greyhound who, now 30 years old, has been making a series of “farewell” appearances at race tracks throughout the country. Greyhound’s dam was a II .csier bred horse and the big fellow himself did much of his training at the Indiana State Fairgrounds under the direction of the late Sep Palin of Indianapolis. Greyhound hasn’t raced in 22 years but ati one time he held 18 world records and 13 of them still stand. His trqtting mark ofIrSSU, set in 1938 at Lexington, Ky., has never • been equalled. UNDER INVESTIGATION—FeIlow officers of State Police Corporal George Campbel,! are considering asking him to take a lie detector test. He has been telling them he knows a fish pond owner near Brazil who goes to the edge of his pond, calls to his fish and they swim up and take worms from his hand. ELEVATED FLOWERS - A Steuben County resident, Virgil Foutz, told The Angola Herald last year he had the tallest sunflowers in the county. He was back this year with the same story, so the editor. went to the Foutz home to see for himself. The editor gave this report: “Sure enough, there, high in a maple tree in a crotch of the limbs were several sunflower plants growing and in bloom. Since they were about 20 feet up we assumed these were the highest sunflowers in the county.” Foutz said he puts out sunflower seeds in a .bird feeder and he believes squirrels carry them up the tree and hide them in the crotch where they sprout.
