THE GAZETTE Epiporia, Kansas, Tuesday, January 10, 1961 BOARD Harter, Camp director at Camp Alexander, is pictured at left showing the camp's plan to new board members. They are, left to right: C. F. Gladl'elter, Clair Uarnson, Uev. W.

H. 'Minor, and Worden Chain, of Other newly-elected members of the board are Martin Eiclgeway and Mrs. Claude E. Arnett. MISS MAXINE DAVIDSON, of the Frost 4-H Club, received a blue ribbon for the pie she baked at the state cherry pie contest Saturday at Wichita.

Miss Davidson, 16, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Davidson, Allen, and is'a junior at Northern Heights High School. Attending from Lyon County in addition to Miss Davidson and her parents, were Mrs. W.

E. Bugbce and daughter, Linda, and Tom Appleby, County Club Agent. Miss Linda Bugbee was Miss Davidson's alternate and assisted with the contest reception. Banker Establishes Trust Fund for Fine Arts Center at loia IOLA trust fund for constructing, equipping and maintaining a fine arts and cultural center for the lola public schools is established in the will of the late Thomas H. Bowlus, lola banker who died Dec.

17 at the age of 87. The will was made public today by the Allen County Probate Court and the trustees of the estate. The bequest to the school system is expected to amount to more than half a million dollars, the bulk of the estate. Nearest relatives surviving Bowlus are a brother, George Rex Bowlus of lola, a niece and four nephews. They are to receive bequests of cash, as is the lola Presbyterian Church, none exceeding $5,000.

Bowlus was president of the Allen County State bank at lola for 52 years. He succeeded his father, George A. Bowlus, the founder, upon the father's death in 1908. The will stipulates that the trust fund, including cash and a variety of properties, shall be used for the erection of an auditorium and classroom building on the site of the present Bowlus family home, a block cast of the lola public square, on J. S.

54. The building, to be planned by the trustees and lola School officials, will be devoted, according to the will, "to the perpetuation of cultural education within the school district," particularly music. -it ti BACK UP ORRVILLE, Ohio (AP) Sip.n beside the road near here: Antiques 4 Miles Back. Oldtimers Return To Americus For "Dimes" Game regular meeting of the Men's Brotherhood was held Thursday night at the annex of the United Presbyterian Church. After the supper was served a benefit basketball game was played with the proceeds going to the March of Dimes.

The game matched the Jesse Bloomers and the Worcester Roosters. The members were oldtimers, some of them having played before the present school house was built. The crowd enjoyed watching the coaches, Ray Kerr for the Bloomers and C. A. Grinell for the Roosters.

Both men have passed the 82-year mark but they discarded their walking sticks to join in the fun. Real cheer leaders did the yelling. The Bloomers were declared the winners when E. J. Haworth made a basket late in the final quarter and was carried from the court on the shoulders of his teammates.

Much of the success of the game was due to the efforts of such men as Martin Logan, Leon Phelan, E. J. Haworth, Henry Worcester, Walter Zumbrum and Brotherhood president, Clair Edmiston. The proceeds amounting to $41.90 was turned over to Mrs. Fred Britain, chairman of the Americus soliciting committee for the March of Dimes.

The Men's Brotherhood would like to thank all those who helped support and contributed to the fund for the March of Dimes. -A. i-', Driver Sentenced to Jail Imogene Gentry of Slillwater, charged with being drunk on the Kansas Turnpike, was sentenced to three clays in jail after a hearing in County Court Monday.

Colo. Your Money's Worth: Now Is the Time For Big Bargains Real Savings Seen in Post-Christmas Sales By Sylvia Porter Fur days, our mail at home has been crammed and so surely has yours if you have charge accounts at any of your favorite stores with appealing announcements of "phenomenal savings," "remarkable bargains," "sensational markdowns." How bona fide are 1961's post-Christmas sales on a huge variety of both and hard goods? Right now, many stores are still limiting sales to charge account customers, but general clearances are widespread and more are to come. According to our mail, and the newspaper ads, we can get coats, suits, dresses, shoes for the entire family, china, linen, stationery, handbags, luggage, at price one-third to one-half off or even more. If these offers are "real" this should be the buying opportunity of the year on many items which I know I'll have to buy, and so will you, in coming months. Is this the buying opportunity it appears to be? To get honest answers I asked several of Now York's top merchants and retail specialists to talk off the record and give it to me in plain words.

In essence the replies add up to: Yes, IDiU's January February sales are and will be bona fide. Yes, this will be one of the best times of the year to buy. But a simple "yes" doesn't begin to suggest the complex reasons behind it which are important to your pocketbook. Specifically: Traditional Period January-February is a traditional sales period in our stores not only because the stores are cleaning out after the Christmas shopping season but also because retailers are trying to shake us out of our winter letdown by offering specials. This year most stores don't have great amounts to unload because they were exceedingly cautious in stocking up for Christmas, but as one retailer put it, "We have enough left to make for some drastic markdowns if we're going to get our stores ready for an early spring push." Most quality shops postpone clearances until the first weeks of a new year, and sales in quality shops usually are scrupulously honest.

In the words of another merchant, "It's silly of these stores to wait and then cut prices substantially when shopping traffic is light, but that's the way they've always done it. If you can find the right size and style in what you want, this is the time to pick it up." To attract customers, many retailers buy up blocks of "distress merchandise" at this season and advertise it at spectacular reductions. Said a retail specialist, "This often is called 'the 13th month' in the year because of the way stores go in for these specials. I know what is offered at times, and if you shop at reputable stores and are told it's a distressed merchandise bargain, look into it." We have been in a recession for months and there already have been impressive price cuts on appliances, autos, hard goods. We are into the winter months when price softness isn't at all unusual, althouch you did send Christmas Markets Full-size or compact? Your Our full-size car is the Dodge Dart.

In the early afternoon, however, soybeans and old crop wheat attracted fairly active demand and moved well ahead. Soybeans were up more than two cents in spots and wheat major fractions. Other grains slipped almost a cent at times in draggy dealings. sales to a record, you made It obvious that you've become a much more selective shopper than in recent years. The startlingly different records chalked up by competitive stores in the same neighborhoods last month underlined the extent to which you're now responding to shrewd retailing.

To quote another expert, "The stores are realizing you won't just 'buy' now. You have to be sold. A lot of them are determined to sell you in these weeks, and this means they're going to offer you price as well as better service if they can manage it." New Recovery Finally, the likelihood that the recession will be giving way to a new recovery in 1961 suggests prices well may firm up as the year rolls on. Barring a business slump far beyond the current decline which I'm barring the prospect of major price slashes across the board is certainly remote. A relatively stable level is a national goal.

"Would you tell me as a friend honestly to shop the sales now?" I asked an authority I trust. "Price cuts of 25 to 33 per cent from pre-Christmas levels make bona fide sales in any language," he replied, "and you can get these on many items of quality and durability now. "The sizes, colors, styles, may not be complete and you'll have to shop. With that understanding, my answer to you is 'yes'." (Distributed by Hall Syndicate. Inc.)

Stocks NEW YORK stock market pushed stubbornly ahead in heavy trading late this afternoon but the over-all gain was slight. Volume for the day was estimated at 4.8 million shares compared with 4.21 million Monday. Gains of most leading issues were small. The list was laboring in its continued advance.

The Big Three motors and leading steels clung to moderate gains. Rails moved forward with better-than-usual strength. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks at noon was up .50 at 225.60, placing the average above the Aug. 24 recovery peak of 225.20. At that figure, the market's losses since the second week in January 1900 were recovered.

The Dow Jones industrial average of 30 stocks was still well below its Aug. 24 recovery high of 641.56. At 2 p.m. the Dow industrials stood at 625.53, up 1.11.
