Boring was the former Donia E. Robinson, the daughter of B.H. and Ann Price Robinson. She was born May 7, 1875, in Greenville, 111., and married Thomas Boring in 1895. They came to Emporia in 1916, and Mr.

Boring died in 1923. She is survived by several nieces and Approval Is Expected Soon For Cambridge House Sale A contract for the sale of the Cambridge House, 736 East Twelfth is near approval in Lyon County District Court, but the court has not yet agreed to all the terms as specified, according to a memorandum filed this week by Administrative Judge R.E. Miller. 'In the memorandum, Mr. Miller said, "In view of the deteriorating state of the Cambridge House and the attendant rise in costs of maintenance with the attendant resulting loss to the bondholders and the factthat all prior attempts at sale of this property have failed, it appears clear that the proposed sale is in the best interest of the bondholder." That proposal has been made by M.

Deaii Donelson, Don W. Lili, and Jerry Bartlett to a trustee of the Cambridge Foundation, Ralph A. Langley of Wichita, and calls for purchase of the premises for $375,000. Mr. Miller said in the memorandum, "$375,000 is the best offer-secured in several years." The memorandum also notes "The proposal by Vail Enterprises is also before the trustee (Mr.

Langley) in the event the contract with Donelson, Lili, and Bartlett should, for any reason, fail to be consumated." The proposal submitted by Vail Enterprises, an Emporia partnership including Jay W. VanderVelde, Gary Eichorn, and Willian Logan was heard by the court May 17. They submitted an offer for a two-year lease for $1,200 per month with an exclusive option to buy the entire property for $420,000 within the lease period. The court was told then that the proposal was opposed by Mr. Langley, who preferred sale of the complex because'there had been no appreciable income to bond holders in two years and there was no evidence that the Vail proposal would prove any more productive.

At that time, thecourtwasalsotoldanofferto purchase the complex for $375,000 had been made and that that amount would be equivalent to the proposed purchase price by Vail two years from now. In voicinggeneralapprovalof Mr. Langley's wishes to sell the complex, the court did take exception to approving any real estate commission to the receiver, W.R. Ames, or his firm, Ames Real Estate. The memorandum stated, "The court does not feel justified in approving any real estate commission in view of the payments made to Mr.

Ames in the past and the payment to an unauthorized manager." The contract at present calls for Mr. Ames to receive $15,000 and it is that portion which has drawn opposition in the memorandum. In objecting to the real estate commission, Mr. Miller said, "The court notes that on April 6, an accounting of the building was presented, fees allowed, and the possibility of a sale discussed." He continues, "It is noted the accounting was prepared by Pool and Sinnard.butit was unaudited. Mr.

Ames charged himself with $7,203.20 receivership fee instead of $5,400, paid an assistant manager $4,945.34, paid legal and accounting fees of $2,441.25, made repairs and maintenance of $16,804.86. The court placed great reliance on statements of the receivor and'counsel in accepting this accounting and was advised that considerable repairs had been made to the building." Mr. Miller then observes that on May 6, the Emporia City Building Inspector advised interested parties of six serious defects requiring attention and repair. Subsequently, Vail Enterprises made- its offer of and later Mr. Donel- 'son, Mr.

Lili, arid'Mr. Bartlett made their proposal. The memorandum says, that aside from the contract commission to Mr. Ames, the contract appears in order a revision including the court's terms is expected sometime next week.

Robert Carder Proves Point: Good Pottery Is Functional By Parthenia Reading Openings for ceramic shows at Emporia State University Art Gallery shouldn't be missed especially last night's opening for graduate students Marilyn Hunt and Robert Carder where lemonade was served in take- home goblets made by Mr. Carder. The supply unfortunately ran out early in the evening but the thought was nice and underlined Mr. Carder's belief in functional pottery beautiful functional pottery. Each piece has its own excitement and harmony.

Never have I seen such exquisite lacework on plates, vases, and punch bowls as is abundant in this exhibit. Various glazes, harmonious color schemes and imaginative forms join to make each piece a pleasant visual experience such an experience that the pieces are tiding new owners quite rapidly. Mr. Carder uses goblets in most of his sets pitcher, coffee, tea, or punch bowl sets making for a Greek atmosphere. Large urns, bowls, plates, and vases echo this influence by their size, shape, and lovely glazes and painted designs.

With a belief in beautifying the functional, it is only natural that Mr. Carder would echo the clarity and symmetry of Greek forms. And what a finishing touch it was last night to see the viewers become part of this atmosphere. For a ceramic exhibit to put across such a feeling is quite a feat in itself. Not only are the pieces beautiful, they are usable.

They are large and solid, yet have delicate insets of lacework. The contrasts are pleasant. The work is perfect in every detail. The show will be open till Aug. 5 so don't miss it.

Ann Landers and Her Answers. Solo Worm-Holding Is Cheaper Dear Ann: All my life I've been scared to death of worms. I decided to go to a psychiatrist and rid myself of the fear. During my first session ($40) the doctor put a worm in my hand. I almost fainted.

The second session he handed me a worm and asked if I was still afraid to hold it. I said, "Yes." He replied, '1 can't do anything for you. Goodbye." That was the end of the therapy. (Another $40.) I'm still afraid of worms and hate myself because my boyfriend likes fishing and I'd love to be able to bait a hook. What should I do now? R.B.

Dear R.B.: The psychiatrist's technique was correct. Too bad he did not stick with it. You need more therapy, with another doctor. Or try holding a worm on your own for nothing. Dear Ann Landers: Why does the world discriminate against the homosexual? I think it is unfair that two people of the opposite gender can hold hands, caress one another, kiss, lie together in the grass in the park, dance together in public places yet if two gays do this they are the object of scorn, ridicule and may even run afoul of the law.

Many of us are becoming incensed over this unfair treatment. Are you courageous enough to speak out in behalf of these rights forus gays? PLUS Dear Plus: I did speak put in behalf of the civil rights of homosexuals 20 years ago when it was a very unpopular position to take. Illinois was the first state in the union to declare homosexuality between consenting adults in private not a crime. I would like to believe my efforts had something to do with that legislation. If gays want to hold hands and dance together in public, it is okay with me.

(Males do it in other cultures.) But I do not like to see heterosexuals mushing it up in public and the same goes for homosexuals. Dear Ann Landers: Some of your readers seem to think only public.schools have discipline problems, but it's not true. I am a mother of a fifth-grade student who is enrolled in a parochial school and I'm distressed by the attitude and behavior of today's students. Once a week I go to school to help the teacher with the students. The kids are rude, mouthy and show no respect to the teachers.

Many times I've taken my- child home and punished him for the way he behaved while I was there, even though his rudeness was ignored by the teacher. The classrooms are in a state of chaos. How the kids can learn anything is beyond me. Kids will do just exactly what they figure they can get by with. The lack pi of discipline is appalling.

Please ho name, no state my'child yea'rs of school left in this town and 1 don't want to make it harder for him. I will never be a room mother again. It's too much for me and I raised six. I realize this letter is not well written but fix it up so it's good enough to print. ANONYMOUS PLEASE Dear A.P.: The message is clear.

Thank you. (Copyright, 1977, Field Enterprises, Inc.)
