And I've invited my playmates and grandparents, too." Bernard Freund of Muncie was elected president of the Indiana State Association of B'nai B'rith after a 2-day convention here. The convention, in the Hotel Roberts, drew 200 members from 17 state lodges. In 1952 John Hill, Muncie kid and cub reporter, got the scoop of his young life in a telephone call from none other than the "King of the Cowboys," Roy Rogers.

Roy told the little buckaroo he and his horse Trigger were moseying towards Muncie and an appearance at the Fieldhouse. In a brief story about his talk with Roy, Hill wrote, American youth, and a young Muncie Marine was one of the latest victims. Charles Skinner was killed in action on Oct. 7, his family learned. The 1950 Central High School graduate had been an honor student and participated in theatrics.

The quick action of a train conductor was credited with saving the life of a 7-year-old-girl, who was knocked down by a locomotive near 14th Street and Mock Avenue. He quickly halted the train while she lay underneath it. The girl, who had been heading home from school when she stepped in front of the slow-moving train, suffered a broken shoulder. I Contact John Carlson at By JOHN CARLSON jcarlsoniathestarpress.com Wise old guys liked Ike for our next president, according to stories on our front pages. With the presidential election nearing, we hardly even made a pretense of objectivity, running numerous stories boosting Dwight Eisenhower's candidacy over Adlai Stevenson's.

One of our "features" noted that David Lambert, 91, a Republican since casting his first vote back in 1882, planned to vote a straight GOP ticket again this year. He hadn't missed an election in 70 years, he said, adding that the only Democratic vote he had ever cast was for. Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. "I was disgusted with Herbert Hoover he said.

"I was right back on the GOP wagon soon after." Out Eaton way, meanwhile, Dr. George Ames figured Ike was the "best medicine" for America, according to another page 1 story. In practice since 1881, Ames figured he had delivered 4,000 babies over the years and had never lost a mother. "I'll vote a straight Republican ticket," said the physician, who noted he had worn out 10 horses, two buggies, one cart and six automobiles in the course of his career.

Keep 'em. OCT. 23 will mark the birthday of a beloved lady who became dear to the hearts of many, Emily Kimbrough, who was born in 1898 in a small house at 715 E. Washington St. in Muncie.

This photo, taken in 1898, shows Emily and her mother, Charlotte (Lottie) Wiles Kimbrough, in the parlor of that home. Emily lived in Muncie until 1909, when her family moved to Chicago, where she would become editor of Fashions of the Hour, a Marshall Field and Co. publication. Later, she became fashion editor and eventually managing editor of Ladies Home Journal. Emily authored 16 books during her long career, and one, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, co-authored by Cornelia Otis Skinner, was made into a movie in 1944.

Another, How Dear to My Heart, is about her childhood in Muncie. Emily died in 1989, but through her writings, she will always be a part of Muncie of which she once said: roots, I think that's the most important thing for everybody. I never, never want to grow away from my roots." Anyone with questions or comments for the Album of Yesteryear can contact Mike Mavis at featuresthestarpress.com or at 288-3307.

Sure, biting the heads off frogs had been an effective motivator for his teams, he said, but it tended to gross out the more squeamish folks and spurred negative publicity.

So, no more frog heads for him. If you still had an appetite left after reading about Canaday's frog exploits, the Big Wheel restaurant would sell you a perch dinner for just $2.98, including fries and slaw. For another $1.10 you could have all the perch you could eat, and your run of the salad bar, besides. Ind. 9 in Alexandria.

In Hartford City, Roger Drollinger was sentenced to four life sentences for the Valentine's Day shotgun slay-ings of four young brothers in Hollandsburg. Drollinger, 24, had no reaction as his sentence was read. Because the crimes were committed while the constitutionality of Indiana's capital punishment laws were being considered, he could not be put to death. In educational matters, Muncie Teachers Association officials said their members were on the brink of striking and would do so if teachers and administrators did not reach a quick agreement on a new contract. Finally, to cap off a week of dismal news, 45 students who had not been properly immunized were sent home from school.

The children's names had been given to the county health department for follow-up action. I Contact John Carlson at By JOHN CARLSON jcarlsonthestarpress.com What at first must have seemed like a nightmare turned out to be real. The body of Ann Harmeier, an Indiana University student from Cambridge City who had been missing since Sept. 12, was found by a farmer in a cornfield near Martinsville. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled.

The discovery was a terrible blow to her family and also to the hundreds of townsfolk who had rallied to find the missing coed, whose car had broken down along Ind. 37 as she returned to the university. The residents had put up billboards and printed posters and bumper stickers asking, "Where is Ann?" Police found the young woman's purse, bank book and clothing in the cornfield. Other notable deaths also clouded the week. Crooner Bing Crosby died at age 73 after being stricken with a heart attack on a Spanish golf course.

Crosby, who had sold more than 300-million records and turned the song White Christmas into a musical icon, had been happy and singing during what turned out to be his final 18 holes. "There were no last words," a playing partner said. In Winchester, meanwhile, 23-year-old James McElreath, son of Indy 500 veteran Jimmy McElreath, was killed in a crash during a sprint car race. The young man suffered a broken neck, among other injuries, when his car flipped end over end from the track into a parking lot. It was the first fatality at the track in 13 years, officials said.

Roads could be as deadly as race tracks, of course.
