Fitting.

A dual sign, Gemini rules travel and communication as well as education and the formulation of ideas. The 500-Mile Race undoubtedly "moves." It is broadcast on a world-wide radio network and is a proving ground for the advancement of technical knowledge. And, look at the duality in the lives of the Gemini drivers: mental-manual dexterity made Al Unser (May 29, 1939) a two-time winner; Tom Sneva (June. 1, 1948) has a two-fold career, racing and teaching school; David Ilobbs (June 9, 1939) has a flair for double entendre; while Duane (Pancho) Carter Jr. (June 11, 1950) is following in the tire tracks of his famous dad as second race driver in the family.

An independent for years, Martin has his first sponsor a seafood company. (Pisces: Feb, 19-March20) Fighters for causes, Arians are capable of great dedication to anything they believe in. Bili Vukovich (March 29, 1944) is highly compete-tive, betting on whatever he backs and has faith in. Mel Ksnyon (April 15, 1933), a leader in religion, is equally intense in his devotional belief publicly, attributing his success to faith in God.

He does. His gentlemen have started their engines for 29 years at his direction and the track has achieved world wide fame. Other Aquarian originals in their own right at the Speedway are Donald Davidson (Jan.

Carney, a fourth group home will be opened in accordance with a recommendation from the Mayor's Commission on Youth. Children from the group homes have been invited to attend the Calico Fair Saturday along with foster families. Among the exhibitors will be the Mallon House residents who will sell their own handmade leather items. Tickets are $10 for a family admission, $5 single, and will be available at the gate.

auxiliary provides supportive services for these families, including driving the foster children to doctors or dentists, to tutors and providing a clothes closet with a backlog of clothing for foster children. "IN MANY CASES, we take care of the individual needs of the children which cannot be met by the foster parents," she adds. The works to provide "anything you can think of that children need," says its president, whether it's a bike, roller skates, a long-term tutoring relationship with one child or housekeeping equipment for an 18 year-old leaving one of the a 's two group homes to go on his or her own. While the purpose of the auxiliary is "to assist the board and staff of the Children's Bureau in interpreting the work of the bureau to the community by providing volunteer assistants and by raising funds to augment the programs of the bureau," the commitment of the auxiliary, in fact, goes much deeper. Explains Mrs.

Carney, "We are interested in development of the children's talents or interests in whatever way we can help them grow. There is always something in the planning stages for the youngsters at Mall on House and Garrard House, many activities that will help them later in life."

By JEAN LAMM Calico, cotton candy and children will combine Saturday for a day of old-fashioned family fun when the Auxiliary to the Children's Bureau of Indianapolis presents its first Calico Country Fair. The fair, to be held at Conner Prairie Pioneer Settlement, is typical of the direct and supportive services the auxiliary has offered the bureau since its 1933 founding as the Auxiliary to the Indianapolis Orphans Asylum.

PLANNING THE country fair, says chairman Mrs. Jim A. O'Neal, "has been a total family commitment. All our golfing, tennis and fix-it husbands are giving up the afternoon to be there." Family involvement was the guiding force in choosing a country fair atmosphere for a benefit project. "In the past we had dances or other activities purely for adults," explains Mrs.

O'Neal. "This time we had a project committee to study possibilities which would be fun for children as well as adults." The fair will open at noon and close at 5 p.m. "Rain or shine, the fair will go on!" Mrs. O'Neal emphasizes, noting first that there are areas of shelter at the settlement and then that "it never rains June 1." Members of the auxiliary will be decked out in the calico aprons they have made. Fairgoers may purchase the aprons and take them when the fair ends.

Calico beanbags will be given the first 500 children who arrive. IN ADDITION to traditional fair fare of hotdogs, soft drinks and cotton candy, there will be baked goods prepared from the "Sesqui-Samplings" cookbook. Sale of the book is an on-going project of the auxiliary. "Hayrides will be available at a very nominal charge," says Mrs. O'Neal.

"The route will be a real scenic one which takes the riders through the woods along the river." Continuous i by the Bluegrass Alliance will provide a lively audio backdrop. Two square dancing exhibitions are scheduled for the Intermissions. "We'll have crafts, portrait sketching, puppets, glass animals, miniature paintings, a blacksmith house and varied other exhibits where people may browse or buy," continues Mrs. O'Neal. Funds raised at the Country Fair will benefit a number of programs and services provided by the auxiliary on behalf of the bureau.

"Basically, the bureau has been known as an adoption agency," says Mrs. Joseph B. Carney, auxiliary president, "but its services have expanded tremendously through the years. For example, we have 61 foster families now working with the bureau, some who have n. keystone hwy.

Born July 17, Sid wanted to be a doctor but his voice made him a natural for broadcasting. His awareness of the pulse of the listening audience enables him to make the race a colorful panorama to the nonviewing public and takes "the greatest spectacle in racing" to those at home. Cancerian drivers include Bob Harkey (June 23, 1930), Steve Krisiloff (July 7, 1946) and Mike Hiss (July 7, 1941), a sometime model who also writes a newspaper column about the sport.

Petersburg, Florida 33714. -PAT DEAR PAT A paraplegic friend of mine told me how he read of someone constructing portable parallel bars. I am also a paraplegic and would like to construct my own bars. He read the article in a paraplegic handbook but has long since forgotten where it came from. Could you help me? T.S., Kan.

DEAR TROY After much digging, I found the article you were talking about. This was printed in the "Handbook for Paraplegics and Quadriplegics," published by The National Paraplegics Foundation. The article states: "I made four-foot parallel bars of -inch pipe and mounted these on 1-inch by 4-inch planks set crosswise at the ends with pipe phalanges. I use them like crutches. They are so light, and yet I can lean on them to work.

I can even get down on my hands and knees for planting and up again with ease." I must add, this docs sound like a good Idea. Usually parallel bars are spaced 24 inches apart. Wider for an extra large person. Anytime a paraplegic can get up on bars and move about or exercise, it Improves circulation which in turn aids skin condition and other bodily organs.

Iff PS at Garrard, a group home for girls. "She had no family and wanted to go to college. The auxiliary paid for her first term until government funds became available. Books and incidental expenditures still are picked up by the auxiliary. "We're really proud of her," says Mrs.

Carney. "She is doing well and has finished her second year." The auxiliary's largest single financial outlay this year will be for furnishings for the new Garrard House, scheduled to open in June. Garrard is one under capacity with nine teenage girls in residence. Mallon houses 10 boys. ''There are so many ways we are able to support the bureau in what it is doing," Mrs.

Carney continues. "Our trip to England in the fall is being done as a fundraiser and we've been very pleased with the response from the public. "There have been occasions when we have paid the expenses of children in nursery school when the mothers felt that if they didn't have a few minutes to themselves they just couldn't do it. This has been one of our most rewarding programs," Mrs. Carney points out.

"The bureau is a caring agency that doesn't put down a client just because she has moved from one area of service to another. For Instance, an unwed mother might first come to the bureau for counseling during her pregnancy and later go through the bureau for a nursery school request or one for summer camp for her child," she explains. Membership in the auxiliary totals 93 women 40 active and 53 associates and is "invitational because of its smallness," says Mrs. Carney. "We expect a real commitment from prospective members.

They must agree to 45 hours of volunteer service each year, plus participate in the training course in fields related to children and the other agencies we co-operate with." The auxiliary membership also Includes 103 sustaining members. HUSBANDS OF the auxiliary members are no strangers to the volunteer aspects of the group. "At Mallon, the boys' group home, the auxiliary volunteers' husbands often take an active part in getting involved with the boys." In addition to the two group homes now operated by the bureau, the agency's Evans House for unwed mothers is scheduled to be WINNING THE TRIPLE CROWN SECRETARIAT by Henry Koehler Mr Koohler hai captured the great Secretariat approaching the dnith of The Belmont, third itor in racing's Triple Crown.
