Indian Burial Vandalism (The. Tribunes Iowa News Service) McGREGOR, IA. Vandals have disturbed archeological excavations at Effigy Mounds National Monument north of here in recent days, Garland Gordon, acting superintendent, said Thursday. He said the vandalism occurred at an Indian burial site that was being excavated as part of an Indian mound rehabilitation. The vandals broke a complete Indian skull and took most of it, a monument spokesman said.

Nothing else was taken. Vandalism has occurred at the mounds before they were established as a national monument in 1949 and since then. But Gordon said this latest incident is "particularly unfot tunate because the damaged burial was the only one that eat-lier vandals had missed. "They had to remove a canvas cover to reach the burials, he added.

The Huffmans re 1 1 found a particularly nice home for an iguana the Richard Boyts' country place, which is 30 acres just outside of Grimes. There the iguana belongs to young David, whom Mrs. Boyt calls "our lizard boy." David also owns chameleons and a pair of horned toads. His brother Edward goes in for guinea pigs and also owns a pair of flying squirrels. Other pets at tne Boyts' this summer have been peacocks, a woolly monkey, a baby screech owl and the usual farm animals.

Mrs. Boyt, by the way, was not appalled by the iguana. To the contrary, she thinks it is "very beautiful." The lizard is a brilliant green, and has a ruby red mouth lining.

Tyson County Welfare Director Le-land Ahern said Thursday he believes the new federal Work Experience Program here is going to be "very successful." Ahern said 50 applications have come from persons wishing for the program, designed tn nrnvirlp inh training and to help families adjust to a self-supporting situation and medical aid to improve em-ployability. While the workers are in training and work experience projects, their families are provided with 100 per cent subsistence allowances. Regular welfare programs provide only partial allowance.

Welfare board chairman H. Pierce Witmer asked Ahern to provide the group with periodic reports on the program. who's best off the staff or the people they're supposed to help," he said. The Work Experience Program is headed by Howard Poore, a member of the county welfare staff, who is paid $515 a month by the federal program. There also are three social workers, two employment counselors, and two full-time clerical workers.

In addition to the work experience, job training and employment counseling, the program provides case work figures about the project after board member Orville Armstrong, a member of the county board of supervisors, asked for a report on the project. "We're spending all this money for staff and the program has been in operation a month," Armstrong commented. In Change "What I want to know is how many are benefiting besides the staff. The federal government spends millions of dollars for staff. I wonder Friday and 15 more are to be placed within a few days.

A total of $736,500 has been granted for the program under the Economic Opportunity Act. Of that, $31,662 is for paying the eight staff workers for the year. Data Request Ahern said also that the institution of the Work Experience Program had inspired some people on welfare to go out and get jobs of their own. Ahern gave the facts and recipients. The program is set up to handle 180 men at a time.

As a man becomes self-supporting, another replaces him in the program, making it possible for several hundred to be benefited in the one-year program. It can be renewed after it ends next July 14, Ahern said in a report made at a meeting of the Polk County welfare board.

He did not reckon with his partner. Over one diamond. North bid one heart. Look all right? Well, it isn't. Why did North bid one heart? Because he had a six-card major suit? No.

He bid one heart because he could not stand to see his partner suffer in a diamond contract. (A sore spot in many bridge hands is the partner who always is Johnny-on-the-spot to "rescue" his partner). Over one heart, South jumped to three diamonds-feeling that his original over-call did not do justice to his holding. South Was right, too. North bid three spades.

South was reluctant to raise his second suit and so he rebid his solid diamond suit, but he was fighting a losing battle. North rebid his hearts, which East doubled and South bid four spades in desperation. This, too, was doubled. The play of the hand was as boring as the bidding, but East and West collected 800 points. Yes, South could make three diamonds with his honors.
