That was when the Fair was on the Camp Morton site at 18th and Alabama. Brewer, now living in a nursing home at 702 North Alabama, came here from Moores-ville and with brother rode a mulecar to the grounds. The mule car had only one track one set of wheels in the middle of the car, and the young scalawags of the day had fun ing up and down on the back platform, rocking the car end for end.

On the way back to town, Brewer recalls, he and other passengers had to get off three times and help the conductor and the driver put the car back on the tracks. IF YOU'VE ever had to do any amount digging, you should be able to appreciate a ditching machine described in an Allison publication.

If he hadn't been late for work that day IN THIS country, police leave their "calling cards" on the windshields of illegally-parked cars.

But in some other lands, more imaginative tactics are employed. For instance, according to the Beveridge Paper Company newsletter, In Lebanon the country police let the air out of the tires of illegally-parked cars. And in Mexico City, the police remove the license plates and the owner has to go to. the police station and pay his fine in order to get the plates back.

While it's cool, maybe some Marion County's new set of county commissioners went to work yesterday on the big back-log of county business that had accumulated since the death of one commission er and the ouster of another. They announced a policy of awarding contracts by individual bids and ending the feuding that has been the hallmark of the commissioners' office in recent years. J. WESLEY BROWN was retained as commission president and William A. Boyce was named vice-president.

Boyce and French M. Elrod were named to the commission by Brown after John J. Niblack, circuit court judge, ousted Lester R. Durham in an impeachment proceeding Monday. In their first official meet-ing the newly reorganized commissioners began signing a pile of 5,000 claims against the county that had been unpaid since the death of Commissioner Eph.

Frederick E.

Boyles, 22 years old, who also had a weakness for jazz music, was convicted specifically of taking recordings of "Dave Bru-beck Visits Disneyland" and a Les and Larry Elgart jam session. FEDERAL JUDGE William E. Steckler sentenced Boyles to two six-month terms, to run consecutively, for each theft. Boyles was taken into custody June 4 on his route by Philip L. Melangton assistant United State attorney, and postal inspectors who testified that complaints of undelivered mail began snowballing last May.

On investigation, Melangton said, the Boyles' home at 901 Albany Street, Beech Grove, was found piled high with undelivered parcel post packages stacked in the garage, basement and bedrooms. Some of the packages were co-signed to Beech Grove residents as far back as Christmas, 1957. Boyles, who had been employed at the Beech Grove postal station since Aug. 20, 1957, told the court he just had more work than he could do. WEEPING, he said that on heavy mail delivery days, he would hold back part of the mail, hoping to deliver it on a lighter day that never seemed to come.

In pleading for a suspended sentence, his attorney said Boyles was merely immature. Judge Steckler observed that although Boyles may be mentally "still running around in rompers," a postman is expected to be responsibly outfitted in trousers. Broadway And Elsewhere ULJ.

James C.

Courtney, president of the board, said the street will be resurfaced this fall with a one or two-inch covering of blacktop. THE SANrTARY board in-stalled an interceptor sewer along the street last year and paved the street with asphalt A short time later, the city ran sanitary sewers down the side of the street and lateral cuts were made in the street to make connections, Thes cuts resulted in deep ruts down the entire street. Residents have complained bitterly about the street condition for several months. COURTNEY said the resurfacing work will be paid for out of unexpended funds held back for such repairs. In other action, the sanitary board awarded a $525,000 contract to the Thompson Construction Company Inc.

LYST A 45-year-old linotype operator yesterday admitted turning out $10,670 in bogus money while "just playing around" in his small printshop, Harold Thurman Miller Jr. was charged with the manufacture of counterfeit $5, $10 and $20 bills when he appeared before United States Commissioner Lawrence Turner Jr.

MILLER was arrested late Monday after Secret Service agents were called by a furnace repairman who reported tripping over a small cardboard box in the basement of Miller's home at 2953 North Delaware Street and spilling money "all over the floor." George L. Zimmerman, 40, 2845 East 71st Street, owner qt Zimmerman's Heating Service, said he was astounded to find "all the new funny looking bills" had identical serial numbers. Miller told Kenneth B. Hale, special agent in charge of the Secret Service, that he-printed the bills last spring in his printshop at 624 East Walnut Street. Miller said he recently closed the shop because he couldn't make enough "real money." HE DENIED passing or selling any of the manufactured bills which were found neatly stacked in numbered envelopes in the box.

Hale said as far as he knows none of the bills have been found in circulation. Hale noted that Lincoln, Hamilton and Jackson, whose pictures appear on the $5, $10 and $20 bills, might be offend- co-operative. In fact, the boy who had been a little rebel seemed entirely changed. "And the youngster who had been so neurotic, began to act relaxed and happy. "AT OUR NEXT P-TA meeting, his mother wanted to know what I had done to her son, for she felt a miracle had occurred.

"Apparently, the act of letting children confess their secret dreads reduces the internal tension, doesn't it? "And several of the children later confided to me in private that they had never realized that the other pupils also were afraid of things. "They had all imagined that they, alone, were the "fraidy cats. So they now were much more reassured to learn they were not freaks." FEAR PARTIES do good at any age, so they should also be scheduled in high school and college. Alcoholics Anonymous derives much of its effectiveness from what really amounts to a "Fear Party" each week. The act of confessing any fear in words, reduces the inner tension which that fear formerly created.

And when we learn that our problems are matched in the lives of others, we feel less abnormal. Besides, such confessionals often lead to helpful ideas for solving our troubles.

"After I had made my own I casually asked my pupils if any of them had any secret fears that now bothered them. "TWO GIRLS immediately raised their hands and told us about their phobias. Then a little boy joined in, and soon the entire class found that it was fashionable to admit their secret terrors, so we had what you psychiatrists describe as a group emotional catharsis.
