Just before they sat down, the lights went out.

A new type fuse had blown and they had no spare. The meal was served in front of the lighted fireplace. Someone found a kerosene lamp and lighted it. Next came several candles. It was a very cozy atmosphere and helped the family to get the "feel" of those first Thanksgiving Days.

TWO COLLEGE presidents were discussing what they would do if they had fieir lives to live over. One said he would run an orphanage no parents to contend with.

THAT NOTE Tuesday about the Las Vegas gas station with a sign, "Free Aspirin, Tender Sympathy," brought no chuckle, just sad memories, to Don Kerr of Wabash. Don says he left his car at a station with such a sign in Las Vegas last July while he ate breakfast. When he returned he learned two shock absorbers, one front and one rear, were bad, so he had all new ones installed. Before he could pay the bill, the attendant discovered bad places in three of his tires and persuaded him to buy four new tires.

When he got home he found the tire gan County Democratic Committee. Kenneth Watson of Martinsville, Morgan County and Seventh District chairman of the Democratic Party, is treasurer of the Good Government group. He said Hurt gave him the $3,500, identifying it as money put "at the governor's disposal" for political use by people "who didn't want to go through the regular channels." HURT ALSO gave him the list of legislative candidates for whom checks should be made out, Watson said. He made them out about Oct. 12 and gave the checks to Hurt.

Hurt is not a committee member, and the matter was not referred to other officers, Watson said. They are President William Poe, former Martinsville mayor, and Secretary Ray Arnold, Martinsville salesman. Welsh said he knows nothing about the contributions and stated, "I have made no contributions to the committee." He speculated that Hurt, who was the Welsh campaign finance chairman in 1960, might have distributed some left-over 1960 campaign funds through the Morgan County group. But he agreed it would be a little unusual for Hurt to do so without informing Welsh. HURT SAID a few days ago when a reporter asked him about the committee that he By PAUL M.

DOHERTY Indiana's Corrupt Practices Act, intended to require public disclosure of money sources and spending by candidates, is not producing, in many cases, accurate information on the identity of people who back candidates with cash. A case in point from the recent general election is that of the Morgan County Good Government Committee, which handed out $2,300 to Democratic legislative candidates on instructions from John E. Hurt, Martinsville attorney. Hurt gave the committee $3,500, some of which he admits was obtained from other people. However, only his name shows on the committee's report as a source of the cash.

THE INDIANA law states that when any two or more persons join to help a candidate they must form a committee and identify all donors. Hurt refused to comment in detail on how his fund-raising activities square with the law, but said, "I suspect in most financial returns you'll find money given in other people's name. I'm sure you can't tell who half the (real) contributors are." He said the relay to the Morgan County group was made in an effort to comply with the law, not to evade it. The Morgan County group's report, on file at the county clerk's office as required by law, showed gifts of $50 each to 11 candidates for the General Assembly ranged as far afield from Morgan County as Lake County and Portland. Another 30, from as far away as Marion and Valparaiso, got $25 each.

IT ALSO dispensed $2,000 to the Branigin for Governor Committee; $1,000 to Loren Wilson, unsuccessful Democratic candidate for joint state representative from Morgan and Brown counties; $1,000 to the Democratic National Committee, and $500 to the Mor- BROADWAY AXT ELSEWIIERE WALTER WIXCIIELL Election Delayed Hoover Blast IT TAKES ALL KINDS G-Man J.

In his own sight Timmy is thus deflated. "I'm still a baby," is the humiliating idea that he refuses to face consciously but which goads him onward into his bullying.

THEN THIS NEXT thought enters his mind: "If I can make the other boys cry', that will label them as more babyish than me, for at least I don't cry in public." Thus, Timmy is prodded into a constant campaign to make other boys cry. And since he is of greater stature than most of his schoolmates, his superior physical strength permits him to succeed in this anti-social behavior.

The father thought that here was an opportunity to try' the "experiment." (He had heard that a Chihuahua can help asthma.) He went out, bought a puppy, brought it home and it immediately made friends with his son.

It crawled in bed with him, right up on his chest, and the boy became better within an hour. He has improved from day to day, and hasn't had an attack since. This may sound fantastic, but I can vouch for the fact it's true. Mrs. K.

COMMENT: The Chihuahua story in asthma has been making the rounds for months. I have received similar letters. All I can say Is that I know of no medical explanation for it. Allergists I have talked with say there is no scientific basis. They come out and say: "A Chihuahua is not an asthma cure." Yet, many readers will remain convinced that there's something to it.

If all else has failed, I'd be the last to say: "Don't get the dog." However, be prepared for disappointment. Dr. Peter J. Stelncrohn Is sorry he cannot answer readers' letters. Nevertheless, most questions are answered in later columns.
