2 TIHON (IND.) TRIBUKE Thursday, June 27,1957 TIPTON DAILY TRIBUNE SUBSCRIPTION RATES By Carrier, in City, Per Week 30 cents One year, Tipton and Adjacent Counties ft.itt Published Daily Except Sunday by Tribune Publishing Co. Telephone Osborne 5-2115 Members International News Service Entered as Second Class Matter Oct. 4, 1895 at the Postofficein Tipton, Indiana, Under the Act of Congress of March 1879 Round Town Round the Clock WITH THE TRIBUNE by R. 0. Manay It begins to look as though you might get your cake from the State Highway department but they will tell you when and how to eat it! RT NOTHING HAS BEEN as close to this writer's heart as the installation-of traffic lights at the corners of Madison and Main streets and West-Jefferson intersection.

Wa place them in that manner, as that is exactly the manner in which they should be not West and Jefferson ahead of Madison and Main. RT OF COURSE this writer realizes that the fine hand of local politics probably had something to do with the selection of the West and Jefferson site though Main and Madison was called for far in advance of the other site. NO PERSON we could reach in the city's official family seemed to know WHY the state gave the GO SIGN to the WEST STREET intersection first. One was sure that the order called for the signal another wasn't sure and the Mayor insisted that thev had asked for both. Why Is It? IS IT, that the minute ycu same people in spots carrying some authority they immediately are not the same persons you might have known before? Politics? Could Be! JUST TO SET the record straight the Tribune, through this column started a campaign for stop lights before some of these boys on the city official family list even had their names on ballots.

WE HAVE ALWAYS been a firm believer in the idea that what would do the community the most was the thing you wanted for the community. And first things come first! AS WE HAVE stated intersection of Main and Madison is a dangerous corner. Traffic flowing in from the south, via road 19 does not hesitate and if you are traveling west, then it is a good policy to have a heavy foot the best vision possible and a prayer on your lips! Even the fellow who comes away from the stop light at Jefferson and Main is loath to allow the man waiting his turn at Madison to get across either from the east or the wastl First Approved! THE STOP LIGHT at Michigan and Main street intersection was approved first and should have been given the GO SIGN first, UNLESS a few of the boys got together and put the 'pressure on', for one at West and Jefferson. OUR BELIEF IS that they were given a choice of one at this time and true to form, choose the one the "petty politi- cans "approved of instead.of the light that came first. Otherwise how could you account for the fact that a "check" was made of the light first it was given the nod as need ed, then a switch made to the other light, asked for an approved later? IF THE RIGHT amount of pressure had been n.ade on the" statehouse at the proper time we would had lights long ago! When the highway department does not take, what they term 'official action', on it means that some group, having an inside track have interfered with the project movement.

Tranquil? INDICATIONS HAVE BEEN that all is not tranquil among'our official family here in Tipton. A few of the boys are a arbitrary than you might find a "yes man" or sa and the result is' hardly gratifying for action. WE HAVE NO particular quarrel with any person or persons. However, as a newspaper man, we intend to see that first things come first and 'weight throwing' comes to an end. True! THE STATEMENT made last evening to the Tribune.

It is almost impossible for drivers entering Jefferson street from North West and Main from East Madison, is correct, except that it is "more of an impossibility" for the driver to see, if he is going West on Madison or even East. There are buildings Today's Tidbit IT'S TOO BAD that they don't make hats that will stretch when people's heads get larger! France Celebrates 200th Anniversary Of Lafayette Birth PARIS (INS) France honors this week the memory of one of her most famous sons, Gilbert du Motier, Marquis Lafayette.

Special Correspondent WASHINGTON, (INS) Two blue-eyed women who hailed originally from the Middle West have captured the spotlight as Washington hostesses.

The resemblance except in age does not stop there. Mrs. Merriweather Post, the fabulously wealthy heiress who divorced Joseph E. "Mission to Moscow" Davies two years ago, was trained from childhood by her father to take over the operation of the vast family enterprise which she now heads. The elegant, queenly woman was educated at Mount Vernon seminary in Washington.

During her marriage to Joe Davies, she served as the chatelaine of our U. S. embassy in Russia. Her svelte figure, regal carriage and zest for living belie her 70 years. Daughter of Chemist For that matter, Mrs.

Wiley Buchanan at 39 by- no means looks like the mother of three teen-aged children. Petite, blonde Ruth, who lost her mother in the 1918 influenza epidemic, was also reared by her father, Dr. William J. Hale, the late great Michigan chemist. Her maternal grandfather was the even more famous chemist, H.

H. Dow of Midland, Michigan. Ruth, like Marjorie Post, attended Washington private schools, before graduating from the Connecticut College for Women. Both women traveled extensively in Europe with their fathers during girlhood years. Ruth, after her marriage to our present chief of protocol, became the hostess of Three Youths Fish Fountain For Rome Coins 4:00 5:15 6:00 6:15 6:30 6:45 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 10:00 10:30 11:00 11:15 11:30 12:00 Thursday, June 27, 1957 WFBM-TV (6) Movie Time Chuckwagon Weather News Dinah Shore NBC News Bet Your Life Dragnet People's Choice Tenn.

They open the.pages of a legend, unlock three hearts of the city. Three boys of Rome carry these coins "Three Coins From the Foundain" the Fontana Di Trevi in the heart of the Eternal City.

Legend says that If lovers or a man from anywhere throw a coin in the fountain of Trevi they will some day return to Rome. No one can recall for how many generations this belief has lived. But. it lives today for Maiocchetti, 15, Aldo Marchangeli, 17, and Antonio Masci, 34. The three coins represent their profession.

The trio steals the coins of love from the fountain of Trevi. For Aldo, the profession has passed from generation to generation: "My grandfather fished in the fountain of Trevi and his grandfather, too. We call it 'fishing' because in the old days they used small boats. We are all called fishermen now. Instead of fish, we catch coins." The visiton who knows the legend of return to Rome will take one last look at the waters, turn his back, toss his over the shoulder and never turn to look again until his return.

The big three; as they call themselves come in the dead of night to fish. In shorts, they plunge into the waters of the fountain to make their day's wages. Their "working" hours change from night to night and sometimes no fishing because the Italian police are trying to net the boys. "I have been caught and jailed three times," Aldo said. "A man me into the fountain," Mario related, after the German became angry because he was retrieving the coins.

"It's terrible," added Antonio, "a man can't; earn a day's wages any But the three contend they buy off some of the "police with coins, candy and cigarettes. "It was easier five or six years ago," explained, "even though there were ten gangs fishing- then. I will "tell "The fountain was divided into three Three gangs worked each part. The tenth gang was the timer five minutes for each, gang and this rotated. In five minutes, you sank or swam," Mario- laughed.

Do the boys really believe the legend that if a person throws- a coin in the fountain he will return to Rome? They answered with a chorus of "Yes." Antonio explained: "People do come back. I have met the same persons. A Roman must believe this legand. We are not cynical. This is our faith." the U.S.

Good Friends Unlike the much-publicized social feud between Perle Mesta and Gwendolyn Cafritz. Ruth and Marjorie are great good friends. The Buchanans regularly attend Mrs.

Post's square dances. While stationed in Luxembourg they tossed a formal dinner for Marjorie which drew not only the cream of diplomatic society, but also five princes and princesses of Grand Duchess Charlotte's royal realm. Wiley, a millionarie Texan, is now President Eisenhower's official greeter for all visiting'heads of states. He is also charged with arranging the protocol seating, the flowers, music, entertainment and beverages for all of Secretary John Foster Dulles' official dinners. Two far One Whether the Secretary of State knew that he would be getting two for the price of one is unknown, but Ruth, who for years has taken prizes with her artistic flower arrangements, lends her skillful talents to the decorations before the soup-and-fish clad guests begin to arrive.

Ruth and Wiley met on a blind date in Washington in 1938, when the pretty college student came down from Connecticut to attend a Thanksgiving dance at Chevy Chase club. A rapid-fire correspondence ensued, but not until they had to "await an introduction of Ruth's father to Wiley's parents in Dallas that summer, and they were married the following April.
