i j i Did You Know i | That— J Today, October 12. is Discovery Day. Thai’s fine. But tomorrow is Friday the 13th. That's BAD! Big Ben says that too many motorists belong to the I. W. W’s. All they want at the service station is Information, Wind and Water. With barber licenses being mailed out to all parts of the state at the rate of 600 a day, enforcement of the law licensing and setting up sanitary regulation of barber shops in Indiana will start on October 15. More than 5000 barber licenses and 500 hair cutting licenses have been issued. No further extension of time will be granted and the checkup on barber shops will be started on October 15. Freezing weather may occur in October. The earliest fall free zing temperature ever recorded by the Chicago weather bureau during its sixty years of existence was on September 30, 1899, when the mercury dropped to 32 degrees. With this fact in mind, car owners are warned of the damage that may occur to cooling systems by freezing. The average period when freezing temperatures arrive in this area is from October 15 to 20. With the arrival of fall, “leaf skidding’’ takes its place as an additional hazard confronting car owners. Leaves on the highways frequently retain a large amount of water from rainfalls, even though the clean parts of the pavement may be dry. The top leaves may be dry, but the wet, rotting foliage next to the pavement offers excellent possibilties for a disastrous skid. Taxes amounting to over $34 a second. $2,.047 a minute, $122,900 an hour, or $2,947,992 a day, are paid by the motorists of the United States. The tremendous burden imposed upon the users of motor vehicles constitutes 10.7 per cent of all the taxes collected by federal, state and local governments. Automobile owners are the targets of all the official gunners who are out after “easy money.” G. E. Lehker. of North Liberty. 1933 graduate of the Purdue School of Agriculture, specializing in entomology, was recently appointed as a state field representative of the Burnet-Binford Lumber Company, with head quarters at Indianapolis. That overheated tired feeling in hot weather often comes from a lack of common ordinary table salt in the system, recent scientific studies of heat fatigue at Harvard University show. The remedy is to eat more salt at meal times by itsself or on the food. A pinch of salt in drinking water is recommended. The basic material for all rayon manufacture is cotten fiber. Although three other processes are used, about nine-tenths of the total production is made by the viscose process and a sugar or sirup from ordinary corn is necessary in order to get the proper quality and “feel” in the fabric. If the average person ate his proportionate share, each of us in the course of a year would eat about 100 pounds of sugar, 45 pounds ot fats and oils, about 140 pounds of meat, nearly 200 pounds of fresh fruit and over 1000 pounds of milk, butter, cheese and other dairy products. The Walkerton Fire department did a mighty fine job of quick and heady fire fighting at the Frank Reed home in Walkerton Friday morning. A roof blaze, thought to have started from the chimney, had a good start, and five minutes delay, in getting to it by the department would have meant a serious fire. By using the chemical, carefully directed, and very little water, the damage was kept down to a minimum. The loss of perhaps SIOO was fully covered by insurance. The insurance man, when adjusting the damage. remarked, “You must have a very efficient fire department here.” One of our exchanges thinks that while the government is in the hog business a bounty should be paid on road hogs. The fall convocation of the Scottish Rite bodies in the Valley of South Bend will be held in the Masonic temple of South Bend on Nov. 21, 22 and 23. The convocation was originally scheduled for October. Two degrees, not herefore conferred in the local meetings will probably be exemplified by the members of the order residing at Knox and LaCrosse, Ind. These degrees are the ninth and tenth. Manufacture of sirup from ordinary corn for table use and consumption in the food , industries amounts to more than a billion pounds a year, and requires over 30,000,000 bushels of cash corn every season. The amount of sirup that can be obtained from a bushel of corn varies somewhat but the average expected by most refiners is about 37 pounds. PUBLIC SALE Peoples Auction barn, Rochest -r. Sat..

Local School Announces Basket Ball Schedule Four New Schools Added to List (By Orlo Dipert, Sports Reporter) Basketball prospects for the local hardwood sportsters look none too bright. However well arranged the schedule, it appears to be the strongest ever in the history of the school. Also Baker was the only player left from last year’s team. Coach Pugh faces a task of building a team using Baker as I the nucleus. Those graduating last year were Wolfe, Divine, Savage, Dill, Hostetter and Dipert. Those left to replace them are * Stahly, “Red” Pearish, Gindelberg- ' er, Martin. Morrison, Walz. L. ' Schmeltz, Cripe, Holland, Denaut, Seitz and Dunn. Also the Freshmen from last year’s Spearmint team are expected to give the above j stiff competition for berths. These ' include Heil, Walter Baker, Reeder. C. Schmeltz, Danford and R. Clark. Walkerton has an enrollment ot ninety-four this year in the high school as compared with 107 last season. No opponent has smaller enrollment. Hamlet, Greene, Tyner and Grovertown have about , ’ the same enrollment, while those ‘ | having from 125 to 500 enrollment include Knox. Plymouth, Culver. Bourbon, Lakeville, North Liberty, LaPaz and Madison. j Since the first game will be Nov. 3rd. Coach Pugh has announced that he expects to begin basketball * practice about Oct. 10th or 15th. This will give only a little i over two weeks to whip a team into shape. The schedule follows: Nov. 3 Hamlet Here. । Nov. 10 Knox There Nov. 17 Plymouth There Nov. 18 Grovertown Here Nov. 24 Culver There Nov. 26 Greene * Here ' Dec. 5 Lakeville * Here Dec. 8 Lapaz Here Dec. 15 Tyner * There Dec. 22 Knox Here > Jan. 5 North Liberty * There Jan. 6 Invitational Tourney here i Jan. 12 Bourbon Here Jan. 13 Madison ♦ There Jan. 19 Lakeville ♦ There ' Jan 26 County Tourney Feb. 2 Hamlet There Feb. 9 Tyner * Here Feb. 16 Grovertown There , Feb. 17 Jr. High Tourney Here Feb. 23 North Liberty ♦ Here l Mar. 2. Sectional Tourney * Girls games. The Invitational tourney includes Stillwell, Grovertown. Tyner and Walkerton. This tourney should prove exceptionally interesting because each team represents a different county. Also it includes one county champion and two runner up teams. The Walkerton Junior High (Spearmint) schedule has not been announced. — Auxiliary to Sponsor Hot Lunches at School The Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion, will sponsor a movement to provide hot lunches for the kiddies at school this win ter. Various organizations about i town will be asked to help in the movement, taking turns at actually preparing and serving the lunche^ I Boys nd girls who can pay for the food will be given an opportunity i to drop their money in boxes pro- j . vided for that purpose, but the । lunches will be free to all who can- ' [ not pay. ; The Child welfare Committee of i the Auxiliary is making an appeal to all persons of the community to I donate vegetables and glass fruit ' , jars, so that food may be canned ; now for use in the colder weather when the lunches are started. An ■ appeal is being sent out to all pa- ' j trons of the school asking for their co-operation in the matter. COMMUNITY CLUB To HOLD RECIPROCITY MEETING The Woman's Community Club met in the club rooms Friday afternoon with fifteen members re-j spending to roll call on subjects assigned to them for the year. Mrs. Sheldon Spear led the group ‘ in a number of college and school i songs which provided the atmos- j phere and spirit for the main topic | of the day. “Educational System in the United States," given by Mrs. B. A. Sweigart. She told in a most interesting manner of the , beginning of the school system in I our country and its development up 1 to the present time. Mrs. W. A. Endley crave a very i . graphic description of some of her i early teaching experiences in this 1 ; and other communities. The next meeting will be the an- ! nual Reciprocity Day and will be I held in the Presbyterian church, , Friday afternoon, October 20.

j Bride In Walkerton. ~ .—.—_ I I I I I I I I ■K SIM MRS. RUSSELL CRIPE

A wedding of great interest among Walkerton’s younger set occurred in South Bend Sunday morning when Miss Maxine Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Johnson, became the bride of Rus- I sell Cripe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cripe Sr., both of Walkerton. The ceremony was read by the Rev. Elmer Ward Cole, pastor of the First Christian church. South : Bend, at the parsonage home at 10 o’clock. The single ring ceremonv was used. Mrs. Muriai Kiser, or South Bend and Earl Ward, of Walkerton, were the attendants. The bride wore a gown of burgundy colored velvet xvith white ac

State To Improve Dunes State Park, Nationally Known; Northern Indiana Dunes Noted tot Their Hare .Manifestations of Nature in the Wild Location of Civilian Conservation camps in four additional Indiana state parks and the continuance of the present camps in two parks will mean the spending of more than $135,000 in the state for materials and supervision while Indi- • ana benefits through the improve- | ment of the parks, it was stated by j Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner, ] i of the department of Conservation. ! At the Dunes park, between Gary ’ and Michigan City, $23,450 will be : i spent, the improvements including ] a mile of road, a bridge, six camp ’ I buildings, a water supply system, a i disposal system for camp waste and ■ landscaping. . I The expenditure of the more than ' $135,000 for supervision and ma- . terials in the six camps will be in \ addition to the payment of $30.00 I a month to the workers in the] ' camps. The workers will receive I during the six months, over $200,- ! OvO from the government with more than 80 percent of this amount going to their dependents who are thus taken from the local relief lists. James E. Bulger, of the Chicago j Motor Club, after visiting the Dunes ' writes: “A drive of fifty miles from the loop brings you into the heart of one of the wonder regions of I America, the dune lands of Indi- j ana, famous in prose, poetry and ; art, a region to which has been applied the misnomer, • The Atlantic ' i City of the Middle West.” Atlantic i City cannot be compared with the ] ; dune country. This country has a 1 wild lure utterly absent from the ' effete resort city of the east. The dunes are not pretty. They are : a glorious manifestation of nature ; “For countless ages the dunes ; have been forming. The lake is i a great open highway down which । sweep winds from the north, pil- j i ing mounds of sand along the shore. The progress of the golden moun- ; i tains of sand is stopped by a skirm- I ; ish line of trees and shrubs, but as | i wave after wave of the advancing ' I forces are hurled against the van ' guard, the brave defenders of thei ] coast line give up the fight and ; the withered branches of dead trees i I bear grim evidence of the terrific siege of Nature's battalions. Then. • j replacements are sent in by the ' ■ Higher Command, and verdure ] i comes to clothe the barren wastes ; ■in vestments of green. But th ■ 1 \ battle rages on; has been raging] ; for centuries. “Carved on the entrance gate, ; you will read: ‘Wherefore did Na- , Hire pour her bounties forth with : I such a full and unwithdrawing ! ■ hand covering the earth with odors. ! ‘ fruits and flocks. .” The quotation from Milton is a happy one. Here. | j indeed. Nature has poured forth I her bounties with a prodigal hand, i Thousands visit this state park, I and others will come when its ex- . j istence becomes more generally | •j known. With an October sun I 1 drenching the gold and scarlet tre -s i ' and the exhilarating breezes of i ’ autumn blowing over the lake, the ' j dune country for the next month will be a thing of beauty and a joy | forever.” >

School Activities Briefly Told By Student Reporters ' ■ 1 Grade School Notes । By Eudora Zahrn We are having lots of fun racing' when we write our i.umbers from 1 to 20. We are learning to write nicely and have complated 1 page 12 in our Playfellow Primmer. This is first grade news. I 1 The second grade has now begun a regular daily class in English, j We are learning to copy lie stories and have begun an interesting study of Columbus. Betty Pearish has been absent from school for several days. On Tuesday the third grade spelled orally. The boys came out the victors. Donald Pearish spe 1ing the longer for boys and Anna Rose Clark for the girls. We have been trying for the Attendanc Banner but it seems that due to absence caused by illness, we have been unable to captur it yet. Gloria Larson and Vernon Gindelberger have been recent World Fair visitors from Grade three. Guy Lehman of fifth grade is back in school after an absence of six days due to illness. Tile sixth grade pupils and their parents are certainly to be congratulated in the wav thev have tried to have each pupil supplied with all the supplies on the book list. Never before have we been able to do as effective dictionary study b cause such a small per cent of th i class had dictionari < Now o s ■ five out of the fifty do not hav copies at their own d“sks. We are making good use of them in English and Reading Classes, too. Only four are without music books. Mrs. Sweigart is using these in her ; classes, too. Some need a few , , art supplies yet. If you wonder what attitude the children take toward the worK books, you should have been here the other day. to see the joy ex-1 pressed when we assigned the first i lesson the Geography workbook. As to their value, watch the children iand see how they have to learn to read carefully to prepare the assignment. Most of these so-called “ex- ! teas’’ bring bigger returns to the | pupil for the amount of investment, । than the "regular" supplies. The fourth grade is trying to have 100% in spelling. Last Friday' seven words were missed. Joan I O'Conner enjoys her violin lessons very much. We're still trying to win the attendance banner. We're not going to miss this week. Mrs Kerchaert visited the fourth grade this week. The Junior Hign English classes are enjoying their new workbooks. The eighth grade general science class will stuuy the unit on “Light” ' next week.

Now Is The Time To Pry Loose The “Frozen” Dollars N«»t<‘d Writer States That Dollar Must be Sent Joy-Riding to Help Re.urn Ihxtsperity (By Gouveneur Morris) What stands between you and prosperity? Between you and the right to earn high wages if you are willing to xvork? Between you and the right to save and accumulate money and property against the days of your old age? Why nothing very much—nothing but the dollar. But not just any dollar —not the dollar you spent in the grocery | store or lost at the races or through. I a hole in your pocket; not that ; dollar but the one that you are not ' willing to spend or throxx- away or ! lose. The dollar that circulates —the i dollar that passes from hand to hand and at the end of the war has done the xvork of a thousand dollars is fighting for you. It is your friend. Bur the dollar that cannot move, that is hamstrung because of greed or fear is fighting against you. Do you wish to give up your car and go back to the horse, to draxv your water from a well inst- ad of the faucet, to get your knowledge of what is going on in the world from a little bird instead of from a radio, to travel in a covered wagon instead of the latest car? Then keep your dollar, hide it away, invest it in something which does not employ labor, let a bank freeze it, beat the Liberty over the head and emasculate the Eagle! If enough dollars do not begin to ; circulate within a brief time, our civilization is over, and your hami strung emasculated dollars xvill no longer be dollars. They will be ,of no more value than so many pinches of dust down the wind. And you would be better off if you had hidden away a sack of potatoes. The NRA is an experiment. We are told that if it fails we shall try something else. That is good hearing, but it may be too late tn try something else. The NRA i must not be allowed to fail. And unh ss dollars are lavishly spent so that dollars may be lavishly earned and lavishlv -spent again it will I fail. Spend your dollars noxx- so that ! later you may have a chance to save dollars. Put your weight back of those who are trying to release the hidden and imprisoned dollars. Force out the coward dollars and make gen tiemen adventurers of them. If we don’t make a beginning of doing these things, and doing them quickly, we and the w’orld xvith us stand to be set back by hundreds of years. And if what we have and are is xvorth having and being we must not have any thought but for the immediate jeopardy in which we find ourselves. Pry loose your dollars and send them joy-riding.
