Extension Camps For August The Fourth Annual Boys and Girls Camp for St. Joseph Elkhart and Marshall counties will be held this year at Bercado on August 22-26. Last year the name El-Jo-Mar was given by the boys and girls to this | farm club camp, taking the first i letters of the three counties interested. One hundred and thirty-seven was the banner attendance of last year and indications are that the same number can be accommodated again this season. Word is going out to the club boys and girls of the three counties that enrollment should be sent in promptly, because the camp will not accommodate a larger number and these enrolling first will be given first chance. Camp Bercado is a permanent camp administered by the South Bend Y. M. C. A. with whom we cooperate in giving the farm boys and girls this outing. Many of the young people attending the camp receive the trip free as an award of merit for 4-H Club work. Others pay their own way. The cost of the camp is $4 each and this is paid 'by sending one dollar with the application and the balance is paid on arrival in camp. The county agents from Elkhart, Marshall and St. Joseph counties are taking care of the arrangements and receiving registration from their 1 respective counties. The leadership of the camp consists of the regular Y. M. C. A. staff, county agents, vocational teachers and local club leaders. One leader for each ten boys and girls is maintained. Boating and swimming is carefully staged for the young people. Any boys or girls doing 4-H Club Work in Elkhart, Marshall or St. Joseph County is eligible to attend. Women’s Camp A new feature of the summer extension program in 1928 is the 'Women’s Camp at Camp Bercado August 19-22 sponsered by the County Home Economics Clubs and the Farm Bureau. This camp is open to the ladies of the three counties who will put on a three day program of recreation and outdoor life away from all household cares. Camp Bercado, the same camp used by the boys and girls, is located on the south bank of the St. Joseph river about four miles east of Mishawaka in a beautiful grove. The equipment consists of dining room and kitchen, cottage and tents, recreational grounds, boats and swimming beach. The only restriction on attendane to camp is in regard to children. Mothers will not be permitted to bring their children to camp. All food will be cooked and prepared by the camp chef and there will be no house work. Forty is the number required to make the camp a success and applications are now being received at the County Agent’s offices. The cost is one dollar per day and a deposit of one dollar is required with the registration. The balance, ?2.00 is paid on arrival in camp.

WALKERTON, INDIANA, THURSDAY, August 2, 1928.

OUTLINES INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIB AIO HELP Indiana HealhJi Department Explains Prone I’iJssure Method Os Artificial Respiration. Now that the vacation season is on and manj T people are planning to spend a vacation at a lake or on the bank of a stream where bathing and swimming is the attraction, it is well to know what to do to apply first aid to a person who has been apparently drowned. The old method of rolling on a barrel is not only ineffective, bdt in reality works against the chance of the victim being revived. The proper and effective treatment. to apply in a rescue from drowning is precisely the same as should be applied to a person suffering from a electric shock. What is known as the Prone Pressure Method of bringing about artificial respiration is set forth in the following rules. Every Boy Scout is familar with this method and is trained in applying the method, but unfortunately Boy Scouts are not always at hand when someone is drowned or comes in contact with a live wire. The method is so simple and so easy to carry out that anyone can apply it. 1. Lay the subject on his belly with arms extended as straight forward as possible, and with face to one sidt, so that nose and mouth are free for breathing.. Let an assistant draw forward the subject's tongue. 2. Kneel straddling the subjt'ct's thighs and facing his head; rest the palms of your hands on the loins (on the muscles of the small of the back), with fingers spread over the lowest ribs. 3. With arms held straight, swing forward slowly so that the weight of your body is gradually, but not violently brought to bear upon the subject. This act should take from two to three seconds. 4. Then immediately swing backward, so as to remove the pressure, thus returning to original position. 5. Repeat dellt>erately 12 to 15 times a minute the swinging forward and back— a complete respiration in four or five seconds. 6. As soon as this artificial has been started, and whle it is being continued an assistant should loosen any tight clothing about the subject s neck, chest, or waist. A slight variation ih the above directions is to bend one arm at elbow, the arm on side toward which the face is directed. That jmsition give more room for better bathing. An additional precaution is to keep the patient lying down, even when breathing is established and the patient is ready to be moved. A stimulant, such as a teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia in water if available, or a cup of hot coffee, should be given as soon as the patient can swallow. Many fatal accidents could be avoided and many useful lives spared by effective application of the foregoing methods in drowing and electric shocks. — Bulletin. McCreary Reunion The eighth annual reunion of the McCreary families met at the home of John Truax July 29, 75 members being present. At noon a pot tick dinner was enjoyed. A delightful program was given in the afternoon which included several group songs and readings by Miss Marion Shamno, Mrs. Carrie McCreary, Miss Helen Stutzman, Arno Holdread and Rex Smith, and two vocal duets by the Misses Helen and Alta Stutzman. Following the program the business meeting was held with election of officers as follows: Mrs. Minni Rivers, president: Carl McCreary, vicepresident: Hiram McCreary, secre-tary-treasurer. Ice cream was enjoyed later in the afternoon. The 1929 reunion will be held at the John McCreary Homestead five miles north east of Mishawaka the last Sunday in July, 1929. Consumers’ Gravel Pit Claims Life Os Swimmer Stephen Soloke, age 21, of South Bend was drowned at the Consumers gravel pit, on the Liberty Highway near South Bend, Sunday forenoon, when he was seized with cramps while swimming to an island in the pit. Young Soloke was one of a group of youths, among them a brother, who had gone to the pit for a plunge after a baseball game. While midway to an island about 200 feet from the quarry bank he was attacked by cramps. He called twice for help and his companions responled. They were forced to abandon their efforts to save him when his frantic struggles threatened to pull them down with him. When the drowning youth failed to arise to the surface some of the boys hurried to the home of his step-father, Louis S. Ori. The latter notified the police, who recovered the body two hours later. He Called it a Day [ Lon Lukenbill, a Rochester farmer called it a day — but what a day! Lon may be a member of the Socitey for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. But he violated his pledge Saturday, if he is. While mowing hay, Lukenbill cut off the tails of two skunks that happened to be in the field. The animals survived, but Lukenbill made no effort to alleviate their suffering. He just drove his team to the barn and called it a day. The mower, however, he left in the field to absorb some of the sweet aroma of the new mown hay.

WALKERTON WINS GAME _ I '1 he local Independents Journeyed to Teegarden last .'Sunday where they defeated the Twgarden boys by a score of 6 to 2. Teegarden has in its lineup several LaPorte stars and they have lost but one other game this season. Hoodu Horning performed for the locals in big league style. He allowed only six hits and sent five bat- 1 ters back to the bench by the strike out method. Dinitras pitched for the home boysbut could not stop the locals from collecting thirteen hits off his offerings. He had five strike-outs 1 to his credit. Both teams perfornH-d in league style and was enjoyed by the large crowd. Guelzo, Teegarden catcher of LaPorte, amused the fans by starting a fight with one of the spectators, which showed very poor sportsmanship on his part and was bad for both teams. Sunday the locals will meet the Wakarusa Independents at Wakarusa. The locals defeated them on the home grounds and they will be out for revenge. Claypool Depositors To Lose About $30,000 — Depositors in the Claypool State I Bank at Claypool, which was closed | by order of Deputy State Bank Ex- • aminer Cox several weeks ago, will ' lose about $30,090 it was stated by i Cox at the conclusion or tne audit of the books.

An effort had previously been made to reorganize the bank and put it on a sound footing so that the depositors would not lose any money. North Liberty Veterans Were With Sherman The author of the recent article in the South Bend Tribune which stated that Maj. S. H. M. Byers, age ninety years, of Pawnee City, Nebr., was the only known survivor of Gen. Sherman’s famous march thru Georgia to the sea, was evidently either misinformed or did not know his subject. In addition to the name of Gabrial Motts of Lakeville which we mentioned last week, we offer the names of W. H. Conner and Wm. Bare Sr. of North Liberty, who were also with Sherman during this famous march. Doubtless there are many other survivors all over the country. Card Os Thanks We wish to express our sincere thanks to the neighbors, and friends for their kindness during our bereavement, for the many beautiful floral offerings and the expressions of sympathy. All of which will be kept long in tender memory. Mrs. Anna L. Gohn and Children.

Bradford The funeral of Mrs. Wm. Bradford, who died at her home Welnesday evening, will be held in the U. 1 B. church on Saturday afternoon at three o’clock.

More About Dogs My dear Mr. Editor: It is with much interest and increasing disgust that I have read 'and studied the articles on dogs, ; which you have published in the Walkerton Independent. And now, not because of any personal unfriendliness, but because of the great injustice done to dogs, I am prompted to air my opinion: those of an average young man of sixteen years. Father Kubacki, as I have interpreted from the articles, is of the o- ' pinion that al dogs should be exterminated. He writes of the diseases which we may contract by contact with dogs. One should go farther and consider such possibilities in our daily contact with people. It is easily as possible to transfer disease while mingling with people in our crowded streets, trolley-cars, and other public places. He also refers to cases of mad-dogs attacking persons. It is internationally acknowledged that all such leasts should be gotten rid of. But there are men and women who have, in a similar fit of madness, turned on their fellow-men and killed them. Os course, their are those dogs I wb.ich are born with the desire to kill, fortunately they are few. These . should also be treated accordingly. (Then, again, as comparison, there are । persons born with a low mentality or with such a disposition that they are easily incited to brutality. In either case we have no way of knowing when the crisis coming. I Take, for instance, the cases of । Lo^b and Leoj>old, Edward Hickman and many others. Because these men have commited such horrible crimes against their fellow-men, do we hold it against the entire human race? No! W’hy then, should we condemn canines, as a whole, because a few of them have attacked a human? I say few, because I think of the millions in the country alone. In the most recent article, Mr. Kubacki noted some statistics illustrating the number of persons bitten by dogs in Chicago alone. If one । should take the time to investigate. ' undoubtedly, he would find that the ( majority of these persons were bitten । because they had aroused the dogs anger by teasing, or by trespassing on the propertj’ of the dog’s master. Also, if one would compare the number of casualities of street brawls, knifings, shootings and hold-ups in the same city, he would be astounded by the large number. Mr. Kubacki also spoke of logic. In his last article he wrote of the ricochetting bullet from the officer’s revolver striking the young girl while he was shooting the dog. The incident was merely a trick of fate, resulting from the officers carelessness And now that 1 have stated my arguments, which I expect to go for naught, I want to ask the Father to please read some of Albert Payson Terhune's articles and stories on dogs. A Reader. । We wish to thank B. V. Wolfe, through the colums of this paper, for the sane and intelligent write up on Rabies, I think it was enjoyed by the majority. And also Have A. Heart's talk which was a beautiful tribute to a dog, 'man’s best friend.” A Reader. News Os The Churches St. Patiick's Catholic Church (Serial No. 7) | The Catholic Church enforces, as does no other institution, respect for hll legitimately constituted authority. Every child is taught that it , must obey civil authority under pain of sin. Ths s why Catholics consstituted such a great percentage of the regular army and navy before the late war, and this is why they exceeded their quotas in enlistments in nearly every state in the Union for the recent conflict.

PATROLOWILL HELP STOP MARCH3OEJORN BORER State And Federal Governments CoOperating in Determined Battle Against Pest Maintenance of a federal road guard to prevent movement of green corn pn the cob from infested territory into clean areas, in order to i protect Indiana's greatest farm crop I from the devastating European corn . j borer has begun in northern Indiana Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, announced today. Nearly 50 patrolmen are on duty and this force will be augmented as i the needs require. Wallace said. Under an arrangement with the U. , S. Department of Agriculture, cost of the road guard this year will be paid by the federal government from its corn borer fund, whereas last year this force was compensated from state funds. Road guards. Wallace says, are , stationed on all the main highways ’ just outside the infested borer terri- , tory, and are charged with stopping and searching every automobile and ’ vehicle to see that no green corn is . moved from the stricken areas inta , clean areas. By this measure Wallace and his aides in the conservation department, warring against the borer for some two years, seek to slow , up its march across the great corn belt of the nation. Guards will be k in uniform, signs erected along the /highways will apprise motorists and travelers why they are stopped, and the public is asked to cooperate with the guards to protect the country’s great farm industry. Since Indiana became host to this vicious farm pest some two years ago farmers generally have cooperated with state and federal officials seeking to control it in such away that its destructiveness will be held to a minimum. Few people endeavor to crash the quarantine line with green corn shipments, and in the majority of cases where corn is detected in transit, is in cars of tourist campers unacquainted with the quarantine rules. Often a tourist car contains sufficient sweet corn to last the occupants for two or three days. When the cobs and shucks are discarded, and often the whole ear if it contains a worm, then the borer easily spreads, Wallace says. The state entomologist points out that in two years sixteen Indiana counties became infested with corn borer, and by reason the pest spreads, via the moth stage, from 30 to 50 miles each year, it is imperative that green corn movements be rigidly enforced. To date, due to prevention work and also the cleai>- ' Tip of fields in fall and winter. Indiana farmers have sustained no serious crop loss from this pest, but only I alertness on the part of everyone can hope to curtail the borer’s ravages. Lets be Careful With the touring season going full ■ force, if the record of 1928 highway accident is to be maintained at a de- : | cent minimum, it is essential that I every motorist fulfill to the letter ; the fundamental rules of the road ■ and the basic regulations which govern safe and careful driving, says a bulletin issued by the accident preI vention department of the Chicago I Motor Club. ! A road crowded with Sunday or holiday tourists presents difficulties which can be met only by intelligent, considerate driving. Cutting in and out of traffic, dangerous swerving and stopping without a signal—these are some of the factors responsible for hundreds of mishaps on the ' nation s highways; and if 1928 is to • see improvement in traffic condi--1 tions, each driver will have to exercise rigid control over what may be a characteristic of his type of driving. At The Palace i Uncle Bob, the cbildrens's radio favorite from Westinghouse station - KYW. is scheduled to appear at the Palace theater for four days start- : ing next Sunday, and will also be heard on the air from WSBT, South • Bend's Tribune station at 6 p.m. * Monday evening when he will t-road- ; east his program to the kiddies. Sharing feature honors on the - same bill is Dan Russe and orchestra, : a musical aggregation of exceptional • ability under the leadership of one of Chicago's leading musicians. • Gerber’s Gaieties, a happy, snappy melange of music, song and dance presented by a compeny of eicht youthful ami pepful young people; “'The corner Drug Store” a farcial comedy with Caroline Scoville doing a “Sis” Hopkins and Steve Gillis as a “soda jerker” is a leading fun mak er and another act completes the program. Starting Thursday and for the last three days of the week, the Century Serenaders tops the vaudeville bill, with Jimmy Lucas in “The Vampire and the Foo of 1928;” Edge and Meda in a noveity entertainment and others prominent. The Palace at South Bend is giving four performances of the Sunday bills with shows starting at 2:30, 4:15, 6:30 and 9. This policy will also hold forth on holidays hereafter. A patent medicine testimonial occasionally thrusts greatness upon a small man. Our ideas of a modest man is one who can keep his opinion of himself to himself.
